Alive (One More Night)

Waking up with so much regret
I’m so tired of being upset
But today at least I can try
I’m Alive, we’re Alive
Everything’s not okay but it’s cool
I’m a king, I’m a queen, I’m a fool
Take these licks and try to survive
I’m Alive, we’re Alive
Cause tomorrow is ain’t guaranteed
But it’s so hard when I keep fighting me
But never a day will go by
When anyone wants you, when anyone wants you, when anyone wants you
Wants you to die
And we can make it through…
One more night
Yeah we can make through
One more night
And we can make it through
One more night
Yeah we can make it through
One more night
Hang on to your hand you’re my friend
It’s rough man I know not the end
But today let’s not say goodbye
I’m alive, we’re alive
Everything’s not okay but it’s life
And you’re stabbed through the back with a knife
Take these licks and try to survive
I’m alive, we’re alive
Cause tomorrow is ain’t guaranteed
But it’s so hard when I keep fighting me
But never a day will go by
When anyone wants you, when anyone wants you, when anyone wants you
Wants you to die
And we can make it through…
One more night
Yeah we can make through
One more night
Yeah we can make it through
One more night
Yeah we can make it through
One more night
One more night…

Like a punch to the gut, these hard truths could knock me to the floor
It's got me questioning who i am to the core
Seeing all new points of view in my memories
Points out some of my culpability
Mirrors hard to look into some day
The shame seems to push up and through
Is there any integrity in what i say?
Or am i just bullshit and platitudes?
Keep striving and growing till our last breath
When you don't recognize who you were
Keep striving and growing till our last breath
Dread the doubt had these thoughts will urge
Keep striving and growing till our last breath
things we've done are things we have to own
Keep striving and growing till our last breath
So when facing ghosts of my own privilege
Will i learn from my mistakes or run away
Like a punch to the gut these dark thoughts could drop me to the floor
It's not the same bullshit self loathing from before
So clear to see i still had a lot of naivete
Ignorance intersects with complicity
Mirrors hard to look into some day
The shame seems to push up and through
Is there any integrity in what i say?
Or am i just bullshit and platitudes?
Keep striving and growing till our last breath
When you don't recognize who you were
Keep striving and growing till our last breath
Dread the doubt had these thoughts will urge
Keep striving and growing till our last breath
things we've done are things we have to own
Keep striving and growing till our last breath
So when facing ghosts of my own privilege
Will i learn from my mistakes or run away

Get em outta here
You stupid racist punks
We don’t wanna hear a thing you gotta say
Because it’s junk
When the hell was it
ever deemed alright
To spew a bunch of hate
Without getting in a fight
I don’t recognize
What I’ve always called a home
Cause these assholes infiltrated
But I know I’m not alone
Get em outta here
Not welcome in our scene
Nazi punks fuck off
And it will always be
A home for you and me…
We’re the outcast
We’re the lost and lonely Open arms when you need somebody
This is family
We’re the outcast
We’re the lost and lonely Open arms when you need somebody
This is family
And hates not welcome here
Get em outta here
You stupid racist punks
You Fence walking types
And you white pride fucks
seem to always cry
that we're stepping on your rights
but privilege through oppression is some shit that needs to die
you try to justify
your messed up point of view
inadequate to core, mediocre through and through
get'em out of here,
not welcome in our scene
Nazi punks fuck off And this will always be A home for you and me…
We’re the outcast
We’re the lost and lonely Open arms when you need somebody
This is family
We’re the outcast
We’re the lost and lonely Open arms when you need somebody
This is family
And hates not welcome here
This thing was built
For those who felt alone
A place where we belong
A place we call our home
Arm and arm together we unite against the hate
Progressing always forward
Kicking down the old gates
No room here for tearing people down
Only building up as we amplify the sound
Diversity in action in the scene we all create
Racist, bigots, gatekeepers can fuck off with your hate!
Let’s Go!
We’re the outcast
We’re the lost and lonely Open arms when you need somebody
This is family
We’re the outcast
We’re the lost and lonely Open arms when you need somebody
This is family
And hates not welcome here
Woahohahohoh
hates not welcome
Woahohahohoh
hates not welcome
Woahohahohoh
hates not welcome
Woahohahohoh
hates not welcome
Woahohahohoh
No Space for Nazi Punks
Woahohahohoh
Gate keepers fuck off too
Woahohahohoh
Fall Down We’ll Pick you up
Woahohahohoh
Family is unity
Hates not welcome here!

Well, what’ya know - I guess things didn’t go - the way you thought that they would tonight
Told yourself you’d stay sober – but that was all over – the minute your friends called, right?
With opportunity for good times – you promise yourself it’s fine – then you’re right out the door
But now it’s 6:00am – and your so messed up again – you gotta call out to work once more
Things don’t turn out so well
Expected will power to abstain
Convinced you could walk the line
Didn’t think you would slip up again
It was supposed to be different this time
Regrets already settled in – the behavior is embarrassing – recollecting all of last night
Yea, this shits getting fucking old – your lack of self control – convictions are losing sight
Things don’t turn out so well
Expected self-control to abstain
Convinced you could walk the line
Didn’t think you would slip up again
It was supposed to be different this time
Trying to work things through (we don’t believe you)
Trying to get my shit together (we don’t believe you)
Tired of this cycle too! (then make a change!)

And I remember
All the times we had
And how you told me how you always felt
And I remember all the times we stayed
Hoping you’d make the very next day
I truly really hope we showed
What you meant to all of us
It’s not the same since you left
Can’t wipe the tears from my face
I hope you knew in the end
I hope you knew in the end
I hope you knew in the end
That we will always love you
I hope you knew in the end
I hope you knew in the end
Told us that you saw your life
as a waste
And it was all wrong
And you never seemed convinced
That your life wasn’t a big trick
Tried to tell you as your friends
That your story didn’t have to end
We tried to tell you everyday
That you mattered
In every way
We hope you knew in the end
We hope you knew in the end
We hope you knew in the end
That we will always love you
We hope you knew in the end
We hope you knew in the end
We hope you knew in the end
That we will always love you
We hope you knew in the end
We hope you knew in the end
We hope you knew in the end
That we will always love you
We hope you knew in the end
We hope you knew in the end
We hope you knew in the end
That we will always love you
We hope you knew in the end
We hope you knew in the end
We hope you knew in the end
That we will always love you

Find my way to the Kraken Bar again
Met with a chorus of screamed refrains
Feels like I’m home
Lifted by the rhythm and melodies
And the love this room is emanating
Feels like I’m home
When I’m down, it picks me up
When I’m lost, let’s me know I belong
When I’m broken, builds me back up
Let’s me know that I’m not alone
A place where a lot of my favorite people play
Heart of a whole scene beats from this stage
Feels like I’m home
It’s the people, and community
Why this place always has a part of me
Feels like I’m home
When I’m down, it picks me up
When I’m lost, let’s me know I belong
When I’m broken, builds me back up
Let’s me know that I’m not alone

We Are The Lion

Explosions in the street
And Fire from a spark
And we are not together
We are very far apart
Equality for all
And never back away
Hold the line each and every single day
Explosions in the street
And Fire from a spark
And we are not together
We are very far apart
Equality for all
And never back away
Hold the line each and every single day
We won’t be torn down
or be intimidated
We are strong and United
Can’t beat us
We are the Lion
We are the Roar
We are the Voiceless
So hear is Roar
We are the Lion
We are the Roar
We are the Voiceless
So hear is Roar
Pressures building up
Frustrations running free
We can only take so much
Can they even see
Just keep your head down
Obey all the rules
False commandments
Pushed by fake idols
And Rich old fools
This isn’t time to panic
This isn’t just trend
Gotta show that we’re in this together
Till the end
So hold your fist high
And say these words with me
We won’t back down
Give up so easily
We are the Lion
We are the Roar
We are the Voiceless
So hear is Roar
We are the Lion
We are the Roar
We are the Voiceless
So hear is Roar
Never give ground
Never lose faith
We’re all in this together
And we’ll fight against the hate
And unity as one
Revolutions gonna come
Equality for all
And love for everyone
We are the Lion
We are the Roar
We are the Voiceless
So hear us Roar
We are the Lion
We are the Roar
We are the Voiceless
So hear us Roar
We are the Lion
We are the Roar
We are the Voiceless
So hear us Roar
Here us Roar

Lots of people chalk full of opinions
About what this is and isn’t
Self-Aggrandized Authorities
Ideologies no longer relevant
Stuck in arrested development
Mindset stuck decades in the past
Things around us constantly changing (changing)
Shifting and rearranging
Moving forward is the only way (the only way)
This isn’t up for debate,
or if you can or can’t relate
This is about building something we can all be proud of.
This is a place for everyone
All are welcome inside these walls
You show respect and that’s what you’re given
Time for this scene to evolve
Or you can just see your own way out
We’ll get along just fine without you
Preaching thar old school that you favor
And it’s problematic behaviors
Turned a blind eye to it all
Underlying sexist tendencies
Homophobic and toxic masculinity
Homogenized identity
We strive to build something better (let’s go)
More inclusive endeavors
It’s still about the unity (the unity)
This isn’t up for debate,
or if you can or can’t relate
This is about building something we can all be proud of.
This is a place for everyone
All are welcome inside these walls
You show respect and that’s what you’re given
Time for this scene to evolve
Or you can just see your own way out
We’ll get along just fine without you

Mirror

Do you look in the mirror
And really see yourself
And what needs changing
And is it honest
Are you humbling yourself
Are you being truthful
Cause there’s a point
When you gotta stop
And toxic thoughts be gone
And know ones perfect
But you try to make a change
To do better
And I know
that it’s hard sometimes
To realize you’re wrong
And all I know is compassion
Will move this world along
It’s not too late to change
It’s not too late to change
It’s not too late to change
It’s not too late to change
It’s not too late to change
It’s not too late to change
Cold floors to rest your weary head
When those thoughts are sharp
It Cuts right through you
Like an Icy blade
It Tears your world apart
And there’s a point
where it’s just too much
And toxic thoughts be gone
The light is small
And it’s flickers far
But we will make it out
And I know
that it’s hard sometimes
To realize you’re wrong
And I know that compassion
Will move this world along
It’s not too late to change

Doom Scrolling
03:50

Well the world’s got me freaking out again
Feels like we’re on a steep descent
Anxiety’s reaching all new heights
Doom scrolling late into the night
Well what do we see? White supremacists, proud boys and Nazis
Terrorizing the streets
Fake patriots, full of privilege and ingnorance
And armed to the teeth
It never seems to cease, I can’t shut my eyes
Still keeps me up at night
The dread is lingering, the tightness in my chest
Nothing ever feels quite right
Everything’s still freaking me out
Can’t seem to wrap my head around
Ignore data and science being said
For your confirmation bias instead
Well, what do we see? Intolerance born from fragility
Bursting at the seams
Total Hippocrates, lashing out for any inconvenience
Of ideology
It never seems to cease, I can’t shut my eyes
Still keeps me up at night
The dread is lingering, the tightness in my chest
Nothing ever feels quite right
Craving balance and normalcy
Only finding more insanity
You never know what the next brings
Positivity or fear
Restlessness keeps spreading
From legs through my whole body
Feel the need to run as fast as I can
Anywhere from here
I’m still craving, balance and normalcy
You never know what the next brings
Positivity or fear

Put on your favorite song
And blast that shit
as loud as it’ll go
I know one thing babe
That’s it’s hard to move on
And hard to let things go
Pull that IV out
and run far away
From who we were
Gone is yesterday
Bet…
And I know it really hurts
When you try to do the work
You try to pull yourself on through
And you relive everything
And the memories they sting
But there’s one thing
That we can do
It’s time to let the past die…
It’s time to let the past die
It’s time to let the past die
It’s time to let the past die
Take a chance today
Cause babe what do you really have to lose
Tomorrows anything
That you love
Cause these dreams do come true
Reach for the stars
Don’t get dragged down
Our pasts do anything
To nail us to the ground
And I know it really hurts when you try to do the work
You try to pull yourself on through
And you relive everything
And the memories they sting
But there’s one thing
That we can do
It’s time to let the past die…
It’s time to let the past die
It’s time to let the past die
Oooh x 2
