No Victim

come inside and hide, let's pull down the shade
there's no place to hide, there's only time to fade
just a year ago, the streets were out in force
it's sad to say it now, but nature's run its course.
there's a stranger in the house
and he's speaking golden
only men inside
and they're looking olden
they don't feel the shame that their fathers taught them
or maybe it was because
the heart was never there.
a million hits a day can recreate the truth
another one today, and i've been hit by you
whatever happened to the streets that take us home?
this ticker tape parade has left us all alone.
there's a stranger in the house
and he's speaking golden
only men inside
and they're looking olden
they don't feel the shame that their mothers taught them
but i won't be a victim.
so you don't be a victim

Southern Grace
04:24
|

it's always been a southern grace
a dirty mark on southern face
at least that's how the whole world makes it seem.
a quiet feeling that gets loud
as anger infiltrates the crowd
but now it's larger than it ever seemed.
what started as a shameful thought
or something that our country fought
has infiltrated you and made you scream.
protect the homeland, you will say
is why this new idea's okay
but i don't see how you can be redeemed.
a colder wind is blowing through
it tears down and builds walls up too
and now the storms have grown across the land.
as people rise to show true face,
they seem to join that southern grace
it's clear that there is dirt on everyone's hands.
so it's not just us anymore
cause anger's knocked on your front door
and everyone is making sense of hate.
so grab your torch and carry proud
the dirty hatred you've allowed
but don't expect someone like me to relate.
this isn't southern grace.

Not Over It
04:17
|

|
every once in a while you hear a plan
fake mistakes and whistles in your hand
baring bonds of something we both like
sharing until one day you will find
we're not over it
we're not over it
we both had a lot right thinking about it now
but we're not over it
a fantasy or maybe it's just a line
bandages and bloody grow in time
faster now, you're ripping out your spots
should we take it back, what's been bought?
we're not over it
we're not over it
we both had a lot right thinking about it now
but we're not over it
the smoky breeze, the smoky trees
green and brown around us
make it all surround us
once in a while you hear a plan
one mistake means nothing to the man
we're not over it
we're not over it
we both had a lot right thinking about it now
but we're not over it
not over anyhow

Say What You Want
04:49

it was a long, angry winter
and still the weather remains
people just aren't the same.
when did it start? was it last year?
or was the cold always here?
seems the sky never clears
so when you go, and you blow away
you're the draw of the day.
but if you knew that you pushed us away,
could you ever be wrong?
say what you want, and mean it
saw what you think, within reason
know what it means when you demand a person's time
say what you want, and mean it
saw what you think, within reason
know what it means when you demand a person's mind
you probably won't, and i don't mind
but you say you wanna be nice
so why am i thinking twice?
it's everything, or it's nothing
can't find a middle ground
that voice is always around.
so when you go, and you blow away
you're the draw of the day.
but if you knew that you pushed us away,
could you ever be wrong?
say what you want, and mean it
saw what you think, within reason
know what it means when you demand a person's time
say what you want, and mean it
saw what you think, within reason
know what it means when you demand a person's mind

Down The Line
04:08
|

|
we've gone along for many years now
sometimes it's been a mess
but we're the ones that started gardens
we're the ones that watched them harden.
leave it to the builders that created what we see
they're the ones that make it all run
they're the ones who deserve someone.
what started as a peaceful land was filled with hearts and minds.
power to the people made it better all the time.
down the line
we appreciated that you congratulate
down the line
now your time's elapsing
while everything's collapsing round us
maybe everything we started carries on through us
we're the ones that learned how to drive
we're the ones that managed to survive
and we're still alive
down the line
we appreciated that you congratulate
down the line
now your time's elapsing
while everything's collapsing round us

Get Free
05:39

it's time to get free
it's time to rattle some locks
we broke our history
when we broke up the blocks
you've got your reasons
for making sense of your walls
i call it treason
oh, but you wouldn't want to know about that, would you?
i don't wanna be the one to call all the shots
(i can see you i can see you)
but you don't wanna be around when it gets hot
(i can hear you i still hear you)
the last time you said that we were free
was back when you would not stand with me
i don't wanna be the one to call all the shots
it's time to get free
you see the lines on my face
are they still friendly?
or do they seem out of place?
let's get together
we'll build a neighbor's fire
and share some histories.
oh, but you wouldn't want to know about that, would you?
i don't wanna be the one to call all the shots
(i can see you i can see you)
but you don't wanna be around when it gets hot
(i can hear you i still hear you)
the last time you said that we were free
was back when you would not stand with me
i don't wanna be the one to call all the shots
don't you know, the world is turning away?
and it shows that we are burning the day
there's a chance that everything will come down
can't believe it's gotten to us now
i don't wanna be the one to call all the shots
(i can see you i can see you)
but you don't wanna be around when it gets hot
(i can hear you i still hear you)
the last time you said that we were free
was back when you would not stand with me
i don't wanna be the one to call all the shots - the shots - the shots...
i can hear the shots
