Necessary Assumptions

I believe in my resilience.
I believe in my resolve.
I believe I can beat the odds.
I believe I can show them all.
I believe that there's a reason.
I believe that there's a right.
I believe that it lives inside me.
I believe that it's burning bright.
With this mind I can do anything, anything at all, because I believe in myself.
And I believe there's always hope; another chance to make things right.
All I have to do is see it. All I have to do is try.
And when the world says that I'm worthless, it's up to me to prove them wrong.
‘Cause they can't see inside me, but inside I know I'm strong.
I can do anything, anything at all.
I believe in myself.

Thick & Thin

It's the ones we love that we hurt the most when we lose control of our tongues, vent our emotions, and let our frustrations go. It's not right, and there's no excuse. It's not important enough to get angry about. It's not important enough to come between me and you.
Don't forget the times we've shared.
Don't forget the fun we've had.
Don't forget who's always there.
Don't forget who's always got your back.
‘Cause no one makes it in this fucked up world alone. Without your help I sink like a stone. ‘Cause all we've shared is too much to throw away, and you don't mean those hurtful things you say.
So don't forget everything we meant, the places we've been, the times we spent. Even if you push me away I won't let you go. It's not about you or me, it's about you and me together, staying friends as we grow old.
I understand where you're coming from, and I respect the way you feel. I hope you would do the same for me. We all say things we don't mean, just learn to let them fly. No, I'm not your enemy.
So don't forget everything we meant, the places we've been, the times we spent. Even if you push me away I won't let you go. It's not about you or me, it's about you and me together, staying friends as we both grow old.
I want to know you for the rest of my life. You're the one I can't afford to lose. And I know, no matter what happens, we'll work this through.
So don't forget the times we shared, the fun we've had, the places we've been. I'm always here, no matter what happens, through thick and thin.

Worse Than Death
05:42
|

It's hard to be ugly in a world so grotesque; to live and die by superficial laws of the obsessed. Ridiculed and judged for the way that you appear; taught to lock yourself away, to live your life in fear.
It's hard to be sick in a world so diseased; deprived of independence and simple luxuries. Watching others live out your dying wish. Forgotten in the madness unable to persist.
I know it's hard. This world doesn't understand it's true. And they can never know how you feel, but I do.
It's hard to be crazy in a world this insane. It's hard not to disavow and treat it with disdain. Confined to the outside, treated with contempt. Self imprisoned, suffering a fate worse than death.
It's hard to be different in a world this bizarre. When nobody appreciates you for whom you are. I know because I live it each and every day, and I'm sorry we both had to live our lives this way.
I know it's hard. This world doesn't understand it's true. And they can never know how you feel, but I do.
My heart lies forever with the ones on the outside, 'cause when you hurt you know that I hurt to. Because I know how it feels to be misunderstood, neglected and abused. The pain you must endure, this world doesn't understand, and they'll never understand. I do.

New Frontier
02:58

I've thought for hours, days, weeks, and even years about you and me and the truth behind the madness of this all. And I guess the truth is that I still don't know just why I'm here, but at least I've learned a few things about life that keep me strong.
There's just a few things that I really need in life; a few things to keep me safe and warm. Sorry if they don't measure up to what you saw in me, but that's not important to me anymore.
It's a question of where our paths collide; perhaps where they divide and where we want to go in life. You've got your fight and I've got mine, I guess that's fine. But for what it's worth at least I fucking tried.
The way it was when we were young; they taught us of our world and we thought we understood. The future seemed so imminent, we seemed to have our roles, and we thought that things would stay that way for good.
But times have changed and so have I, and so have you. And when you think you've finally stopped you've just begun. And time will be the judge of who was right and who was wrong. Just remember it's not over 'til it's done.
I've thought for hours, days, weeks, and even years about you and me and the truth behind the madness of this all. And I guess the truth is that I still don't know just why I'm here, but at least I've learned a few things about life that keep me strong.
And yeah I care, that's why I'm here. And you…you're somewhere over there. That's why I'm here pushing, fighting, screaming for a new frontier.

El Mundo Loco
03:05

For so long I waited blindly for things to go my way, but I never gave the effort until now. A true victim of circumstance I took things as they came, and blamed the world when things didn't work out.
And yeah, the world can be a fucked up place, and everyone's so quick to place the blame.
And yeah, the world is such a fucked up place, but it's up to you and me to make that change.
I don't know where I'll be tomorrow; all I can do is plan, and do my best to build the life I want. Keep my focus clear, take control the best I can, appreciate the simple thing's I've got.
And yeah, the world can be a fucked up place, and everyone's so quick to place the blame.
And yeah, the world is such a fucked up place, but it's up to you and me to make that change.
I know at times the world seems like it's caving in and everyone is losing their minds. Just don't lose sight of the things that you want, take everything one day at a time.
Sometimes it's hard to see the reasons behind things turning out like they did. Just never expect any more out of life than what you're willing to give.

Fire & Brimstone
03:51

Could it be the cynicism is a sign of something more?
A deeper issue rotten to the core?
What's the problem? What's the problem?
What the fuck is wrong with us?
What's the problem? What's the problem?
How did things get so fucked up?
A lack of direction, a draught of ideas has let the killers through the door. Once inside they absorb our anger and sell it back for dollars more. And when there's nothing they'll pass us by; find someone new and bleed them dry. Bought and sold, thrown out in the cold; they leave us here to die.
No, I won't buy into the numbers game.
I will never be a slave.
No, I will never be a slave.
Fuck the numbers game.
I will never be a slave.
No one wants to be the first to admit that they were wrong. Now it's just another place to end up. The same old fucking tired song. No one wants to hear things that confront the way we think. Too much invested, too unreceptive, too weak to speak their minds.
No, I won't buy into the numbers game.
I will never be a slave.
No, I will never be a slave.
Fuck the numbers game.
I will never be a slave.
Is it too late to change? Or is it time to estrange?
I say bring it and make my ears bleed.
Fire and brimstone…that's what we need.
Let it rain from the heavens, wash everything clean.
Fire and brimstone...that's what this scene really needs.

Sinking Ship

Drop it!
Your generation has a smile upon its lips, clinging to your treasure chest on this sinking ship. You took everything without regard for who was coming next. Never thought you'd be around to witness the effects.
"Under the banner of heaven..."
"In the name of progress..."
"In pursuit of happiness and wealth..."
You spent without remorse every last precious resource thinking of no one but yourselves.
You speak of civic duty and responsibility, but tell me what that really means. What did you ever give back to the community?
You've taken all we have. Have you no guilt or shame? We are your children. We are the tortured and enslaved!
Who will stand up?
Who will be the one?
Who will be the one to say, "This is wrong?"
Who will stop what you've begun?

Precedent

Were they ever really saying something? I guess that all depends on what we heard. So many righteous slogans were forced into our minds, but the greatest leaders never had to say a word.
And it’s their example we won’t forget. The precedents they set are carved into our hearts and minds forever. Their struggles, their lessons, their lives, and everything they meant.
And the leaders of tomorrow will measure themselves by the standards we set today. We give them strength to take the torch and light the way.
And it’s our example they won’t forget. The precedents we set will change things for the better in our corner of time in this world, whatever it meant.

Humana

Humana, where are you going now? And what have we come to? I used to think we had no destination, no direction, lost on the ocean blue.
Batten the hatches. Get the children inside. Pray for the best. Brace for the worst; hang on for your life.
Sailing a course to God only knows. Hopelessly lost…how long can we last, how far can we go?
Humana, I did the best I could. I swear, I swear I really tried. Why do you sing yourself such sweet, caring, happy, little lies?
No direction. No destination.
Now I see that with just enough grave determination it just might be the bottom of the sea. We’re well on our way.
Humana, what have we come to? I swear if I could I would save you from sailing off the edge of creation, out of existence, and into oblivion.
Hidden song: "Cashing Out" lyrics:
How many times am I supposed to let you let me down before I just get up and leave? How can you call yourself a friend when you never took the time...no, you never took the time to see the real me?
Oi! Oi! Oi!
This is my special way of saying "FUCK YOU!" I'm leaving all of you behind. This is my special way of saying "FUCK YOU!" Who the hell needs you when I've got friends like mine?
How many times will you try and feed me the same old lines? Do you really think I'm blind? Keep your excuses; save all your lies. I've had enough and i'm not backing down...no, i'm not backing down this time.
Oi! Oi! Oi!
This is my special way of saying "FUCK YOU!" I'm leaving all of you behind. This is my special way of saying "FUCK YOU!" Who the hell needs you when I've got friends...
This is my special way of saying "fuck you" for all the fucked up memories and shit you put me through. This is my special way of saying, "goodbye." Who the hell needs you when I've got friends...I've got friends like mine?
