2. Is You Asking? Or Is You Tellin?
In this life I've lost more than most
Friends, family, chances I've paid the cost
But for everything I've lost there's been some gain
I've passed every test
Endured all the pain
I've learned just who I am
Just when to take a stand
I'm strong in my convictions
There is no contradiction
Mind, heart, soul I am strong
Because I know
Just what I'm living for
Because I know
That it's worth dying for
(2x)
You better know
Just what you're living for
You better know
If it's worth dying for
(2x)
You better know
You better know
3. Take It or Leave It
Gone
It never will be yours
Now
You share the pain
This gift severed from your hands
They live through stories of the past
All your life they would be there for you
Or so you thought
The day has come for you
To make it on your own
Cuz they have nothing left to give
Abandoned by your youth
You're forced to live
You're forced to live
Abandoned you're forced to live
You're forced to live
Abandoned, you're forced to
Take it or leave it
This is your life
(3x)
Take it or leave
Go see how far you make it
Throughout life there will be hard times
Things won't go your way, step up to the plate
You'll find yourself that way
Stop living in the past, take off the cast
You're forced to live
Abandoned, you're forced to live
You're forced to live
Abandoned, you're forced to
Take it or leave it
This is your life
(3x)
Take it or leave
Go see how far you make it
[INTERLUDE]
I just live with no regrets
Live like life never ends
This is what you're creating
Go see how far you make it
No regrets (4x)
4. From Here on Out
Sunrise
I've watched the sun rise through this
It's broken faimly ties
Forgiveness is helpful when the loss sets in
Dark days are yet to come
From the grave we've just begun
(3x)
From here on out
I'll never doubt
I'll never take one minute for granted
Appreciate what you've been handed
Minutes turn to hours
Days turn to years
Time keeps on passing by
These things no one hears
Dark days are yet to come
From the grave we've just begun
(2x)
I'm finding it hard to let go of your memory
Now that you're gone
It's so hard to believe
From here on out
I'll never doubt
I'll never take one minute for granted
Appreciate what you've been handed
In my dreams, when I sleep
Now that you're gone, it's so hard to believe
(2x)
It's so hard to believe
5. It Cant Rain All the Time
Can you feel them?
Those hands around your throat
They're cold and they're trying to kill your soul
I know, I've been there
At the end of my rope
No sign of help in sight
Lost every ounce of hope
Can't see the Light at the end of the road
No happy ending, nothing left to live for
(2x)
Even though the tears will fall
It can't rain all the time
Your darkest hour will not last
Even though the tears will fall
It can't rain all the time
Your strength will grow as the days pass
I speak words of experience
I thought my life was done
I thought I couldn't go on
I swore I wouldn't go on
I speak words of experience
I thought my life was done
And that I could not go on
Can't see the Light at the at the end of the road
No happy ending, nothing left to live for
(2x)
And I can't remember the last time I cried
Now I know I have strength inside
(2x)
Even though the tears will fall
It can't rain all the time
(2x)
And I can't remember the last time that I cried
Now I know I have strength inside
And I can't remember the last time I cried
Now I know I have strength inside
And I can't remember the last time that I cried
6. Ashes to Ashes
Soon you will be gone
But I, I have to stay
This will be so hard
Life won't be the same
This flame is getting hotter
This flame it burns your soul
This flame is getting hotter
This flame engulfs us
All your life you try
Never did you succeed
Now you wish to bleed
All your hate on me
This flame is getting hotter
This flame it burns your soul
This flame is getting hotter
This flame engulfs us
Don't let it get out of control
Don't let it go too far
Don't let it go too far
[INTERLUDE]
[SOLO]
This flame is getting hotter
This flame it burns your soul
This flame is getting hotter
This flame engulfs us all
7. If Heaven Aint Alot Like Ypsi, I Dont Wanna Go
Watching you drift away
I can see the lights are fading
This night is growing cold
I can see the lights are fading
Watching you drift away
I'm watching you drift away
Watching you drift away
It didn't have to end this way
(2x)
Drowning my intuitions in corruption
Trading my resolutions for succession
Pushing this segregation revolution
Stand up to the oppression, it's your destruction
Liberation is so hallowed
Liberation is so shallow
Liberation (4x)
I'm watching you drift away
8. Americas Next Top Model
No one would expect this from me
So strong
So proud
No one thinks of me
Rotting
Dying
I'll purge myself from this
From this living hell
Just take it all away
I'm trying to survive another day
In this living hell
Just take it all away
Just take it all away from me
From me
Our eyes can't hide such simple fears
A blood-filled cry they'll never hear
(2x)
I try to make it go away
But I can't escape myself this time
Speaking of time, mine's running thin
It already ended before it could begin
I try to escape
But I can't make it go away this time
[INTERLUDE]
I'll say a prayer, straight from the heart
I'll hang my head, this is tearing me apart
9. Frienemies
Tonight we burn the bridges of our past regrets
I've learned o forgive but I'll never learn to forget
The things you've done to me
The things you've said to me
Will forever be ingrained in my memory
All your excuses
All your lies
I'm burning them tonight
Along with you
I'm burning them tongiht
Along with you
No more will you defile what I love,
Destroy what I've built
No more will I back your hypocrisy
No more will you have credibility
With me
I'll burn it down tonight
Along with you
(2x)
Along with you
10. Last Goodbye
The very concept of leadership implies
Everything I once was
Everything that you hoped I would be.
Masqueraded
Down on my knees I watched you kill me
Let's play the victim, game is murder
I'll take the gun, you take the witness.
Every time I fought back,
Every time that you left me behind
Mutilated
You killed my soul, you stole my insides
I played the game called murder
I'll take the gun, you take the witness
Goodbye
Tonight, I'm leaving you behind
Behind
Tonight, I'm saying my goodbye
Goobye
Tonight, I'm leaving you behind
Behind
Tonight I'm saying my goodbye
We'll say our last goodbye (4x)
All I've ever wanted
All I've ever needed
All you've taken from me
All I've given to you
I'm takin back
We're takin it back
Let's take it back tonight!
Goodbye
Tonight I'm leaving you behind
Behind
Tonight I'm saying my goodbye
Goodbye
Tonight I'm leaving you behind
Behind
Tonight this is our last goodbye
This is our last goodbye (2x)
We'll leave it all behind (4x)
11. They Want You Silent
This hunger
I'd sooner fall to death than taste the bitterness of your demands
You must remember
That you can't be cleaned, cleaned by filthy hands
I am eternal
I can't be broken down
I can't be hurdled
You'll have to take the crown
(2x)
I won't be silenced by you
I won't be silenced by you
I won't be silenced by you (this isn't over)
I won't be silenced by you (oh no it's just begun)
Now we scream the words as one
Our voices will become the thing
The thing that makes your end
As the world turns I know they sit upon their thrones
And seek to take what they don't own
I am eternal
I can't be broken down
I can't be hurdled
You'll have to take the crown
(2x)
I won't be silenced by you
I won't be silenced by you
I won't be silenced by you (this isn't over)
I won't be silenced by you (oh no it's just begun)
We're here and we wont be backing down
You'd sooner see me in the ground
Cause there is absolutely nothing
Nothing that will keep us from the crown
No we won't be backing down
You'll have to put us in the ground
Cuz there is absolutely nothing that will keep us from the crown
[SOLO]
We won't be silenced by you (4x)
