Track Name: crime & said punishment
LYRICS

i've got my situation staring at my gun
i'll shoot - no questions
if he tries to run

i've got my situation
i've got him on the run
i missed by a fraction but his time will come

as day meets nightfall
i'm losing touch
well i've lost my purpose
yeah i've had enough

and my situation is still on the run
but i'll never forget just what he's done
Track Name: manipulation pays the bills
LYRICS

incredible
i'd rather say it's despicable
we turn you one
it's paralyzing
we're hysterical

you inform us to get in line
you inform us to waste our time
who gives you the right to make a sound
but when i try to speak you tear me down

all we like sheep have gone astray
we've have turned to our own way
and i feel the shame of it all
Track Name: no bombs needed
LYRICS

my good intentions full of ambition
i had a youthful smile
but life grew so quickly
i never knew what hit me
now i give it my all when destruction calls

i can't seem to wash this blood from my hands
the more i try the more i understand

my life ambitions full of intentions
it used to make more sense
now everything's in motion
we go through the motions
while the wars rage on as if there's something wrong
Track Name: times square affair
LYRICS

eyes wide open
try to take it all in
but i got a feeling you'll never leave this place

pride goes before destruction
pride goes before destruction
pride goes before destruction
arrogance before the fall

if you lift it up it will push you down
a million wrongs in this town
and who loves you now

(i still love you now)
Track Name: when nothing is everything
LYRICS

can't understand why i need to turn it around
and just let go when i feel invincible
i got a hold of my principles
they never let me down
but only when i'm down
do i feel the weight of all of this

i've let the times blur the sounds
you make when you're moving
never stopped to realize why i'm disappointed

i thought i had it made
i thought i'd be okay
but how the mighty will fall - they fall
how the mighty will fall - they fall

you gotta break me down and build me up
gotta break me down and build me up
cause my cup is empty
i always thirst
push me down and lift me up

i've let the times blur the sounds
you make when you're moving
never stopped to realize why i'm disappointed

i thought i had it made
i thought i'd be okay
but how the mighty will fall

the wicked plot against the righteous
draw their swords and bend their bows
but the LORD laughs at the wicked
for he sees their day is coming

my day is coming
my day is coming
oh break me down and lift me up
lift me up
lift me up
