We Survive

We own the night- We are the forgotten ones.
To the fear of love and loss we are a slave!
              (We can't be saved)
Our freedoms ripped straight from our callused hands, we fight...
To do our best to keep from digging early graves.

Without a voice (Without a voice)
Without a name (Without a name)
In the shadows we remain.
So we press on
Armored with pride
Where our fathers fought and died- We survive!

Through our pain we paid the toll.
May God rest these weary souls.
Spill our blood but spare our tears.
               (Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
We live with purpose,
Though they've cursed us one and all .
Together, in the end, we'll take the fall.

Without a voice (Without a voice)
Without a name (Without a name)
In the shadows we remain.
So we press on
Armored with pride
Where our fathers fought and died- We survive!

The Infinite Sorrow

They burned down to ashes- one by one.
Oh, God, tell me. What have we done?
This infinite sorrow- no sign of relief.
Is it worth fighting for our beliefs?

Give them silence and peace while they sleep...

Do we die for what's right?
Or live with what's wrong?
Divided by vengeance-
The weak from the strong.
We fight...
Or we fail...
God save us from this hell!

As smoke fills the sky
We'll make our return.
With revenge in our hearts-
It still burns.
While the fire has turned to ash
And their defeat in our grasp!

But how much longer can it last?

Do we die for what's right?
Or live with what's wrong?
Divided by vengeance-
The weak from the strong.
We fight...
Or we fail...
God save us from this hell!

Love Without Reason

I thought it was over...
Even time felt slower until...
They all went in for the kill.
We had it within our reach.
And it seems there's not much we can do...
After all that we've been through.

But with you by my side...
Let our worlds collide!

A love without reason.
They've taken our freedom away!
And we might be blind.
But we'll always find a way.
We'll only be stronger.
And no longer they'll tear us apart.
They can control our world
But they can't control our hearts!

I found my faith in you.
And I'll see it through to the end.
It's the same old story time and time again.
The good versus evil.
And someday we'll see they'll break.
So they'll never take
This heart and this soul.
They can't have control!

'Cuz with you by my side...
Our worlds will collide!

A love without reason...

This Is The End

So here we are again with not much left to say.
It's hard enough but for the best that we go our separate ways.
I can't believe we never noticed all the signs.
I wish you well and don't you worry, I'll be fine.

Someday I know you'll forget my name.
I think it's funny how it all ends up the same.

So this is the end...
I never understood the way you could just let it slip away.
So long my friend...
I'll shake your hand but understand things are better off this way.

I'll think about those times when you and I were young.
Oh, how we long for yesterdays- so many ways we had our fun.
But looking back can only bring us more regret.
You'll just move on- I'll write a song about those things I can't forget.

Someday I know you'll forget my name.
I think it's funny how it all ends up the same.


So this is the end...
I never understood the way you could just let it slip away.
So long my friend...
I'll shake your hand but understand things are better off this way.

Wake Me When It's Over (revised)

On this summer night of August it’s so clear

That we need a new adventure to get us through the year

And I’m always thinking of how it was back then

When we were always laughing- I want it all again…

But to never let it end.

So wake me when it’s over

I want to sleep through October

And the rest of winter, too

or I will never make it through

Give me a good reason 

to stay awake through the season

Those winter nights are cold and way to long…

Since you’ve been gone

Lately I’ve been thinking if you were here with me

I’d take you to those places you'd always wanna see

Like Mount Rushmore and the pyramids-

The resting place of Billy the Kid

There’s so much we could do if you were here...

It’s always rough this time of year

So wake me when it’s over….

I'll Sing You a Song

You are my one and only.

Come on, let’s take this slowly.

This life doesn’t have to be so hard.

And I know nothing’s perfect.

But I promise it’s all worth it.

We can’t stop now that we have come so far.

When I think about it, it all seems strange-

We know we’ll never be the same.

Tell me your hopes- tell me you dreams.

Don’t let your heart of paper rip at the seams.

I’ll sing you a song to light up your life.

I know someday somehow we’ll get it right.

The future’s getting blurry.

But let’s stop the constant worry.

We can conquer anything we face.

We’ll make a memory album.

Because we can’t live without’em

Memories are a terrible thing to waste.

I’d promise you the world if I could.

But trust me- I believe were good.

Tell me your hopes….

Under a Texas Sky

Shadows line the walls inside the halls of empty schools
And just outside skateboards glide on rails where skaters rule
An old playground emits the sounds of laughter everywhere
And mothers gab as they don't have a care

A baseball flies as kids outside are playing in the street
A neighbor's barbeque gives just a few the chance to meet
The smell in the air and the buzz are still just like it was...
Under a Texas sky I won't ask why because...

The day feels long and strangely calm, it's early afternoon
Inside it's still as silence fills each and every room
Time slows down in southern towns when there's nowhere else to be
Although it's gone it still feels strong to me

The eastern wind has just kicked in but yet it feels so warm
And thunder rolls as kids are told to come in from the storm
The smell in the air and the buzz are still just like it was...
Under a Texas sky I won't ask why because...

If You Were Here

So here we are now as I stare up at the sky
I can't believe this is good-bye
And all I know is it's a shame we've come so far
And look at where we are...

Did you ever wonder what could be?
Do you ever think about when we were seventeen?

I remember how we'd skate around until our boards would bust.
I remember how we acted like the world belonged to us.
Do you ever wish you could rewind your life back to those days?
If you were here right now... what would you say?

I thought it was funny and I can't forget-
That first time that we met
Between the both of us there's nothing we couldn't do
If only I had the chance to say good-bye to you...

Did you ever wonder what could be...
If you were here instead of me?

I remember how we'd skate around until our boards would bust.
I remember how we acted like the world belonged to us.
Do you ever wish you could rewind your life back to those days?
If you were here right now... what would you say?
