We're not giving in to
What you think we should be
We're not, we're not

Seven years we'll never forget
Fighting for just an ounce of respect
Cause it isn't enough to just be myself
To some faceless industry I'm supposed to impress
Never again will I bite my tongue
For the sake of playing along
I'll say what I wanna say
I don't care who's listening
Or gets in my way
Seven Years....
And we're not finished yet!
Look in the mirror
Believe what you see
There's more than just distance
Between you and me
Claim what you want
But we all know the truth
We would be where we want
If we never met you

Living in a senseless world
Where everyone knows best
We're always wrong
We play along
No wonder we're depressed
For being different
We're so ashamed of it
If only we took the time
To sit and listen we might find that
We're all just the same
We all play this game
We're brothers and sisters
We all have a name
Take all my flaws
I won't take anything from you
Take all my flaws
I won't take anything from you
We may not be perfect
But who wants to be
With all due respect
This life's not for me
We'll stand right here
We'll stand our ground
We'll stand together and be proud
To be exactly who we are
Who we are
Our time is too short
But this time is all we've got
We gotta make the most of it
Before we miss our shot
I'll say what I mean like
Never before because
If I can't be me
Then what the fuck is this life for?
Take all my flaws
I won't take anything from you
Take all my flaws
I won't take anything from you
We may not be perfect
But who wants to be
With all due respect
This life's not for me
We'll stand right here
We'll stand our ground
We'll stand together and be proud
To be exactly who we are
Who we are
This time we fight
We fight, we fight to stay alive
We get knocked down
Knocked down, but all we bruise is pride
This time we fight
We fight, we fight to stay alive
We get knocked down
Knocked down, but all we bruise is pride
We may not be perfect
But who wants to be
With all due respect
We may not be perfect
But who wants to be
With all due respect
This life's not for me
We'll stand right here
We'll stand our ground
We'll stand together and be proud
To be exactly who we are
Who we are

I've been beaten
I've broken my back
All for nothing
Just to get beat down again
But now I stand stronger
And I'll fight harder
The only thing I need
Is this life I lead
There's no tomorrow
Today is all we've got
Tonight's our curtain call
No way, no way, now way
To prove it's not
Always so many doubts
Some new crisis to figure out
I gotta reevaluate
Who I am before it's too late
I know I'm in your face
I know that I'm a fucking mess
But these words are all I have
And I bleed every one.
There's no tomorrow
Today is all we've got
Tonight's our curtain call
No way, no way, now way
To prove it's not
Every day I wait for
My chance to shine
And I'll take yours
If I can't have mine
There's no tomorrow
Today is all we've got
Tonight's our curtain call
No way, no way, now way
Every day I wait for
My chance to shine
And I'll take yours
If I can't have mine

It takes more than two eyes
To see through me
Like you think you do
You think you know everything
You're all about
Radio and magazines
Take your social media
It's all the same to me
Full of suckers in this numbers game
With their fake fortune and fake fame
There's got to be another way
This is who we are
This is what we believe in
And we don't have the time to compromise
No, we're not giving in
To what you think we should be
Another carbon copy
We don't have much
But at least we have heart
So get ready
You didn't care then
Tell me why should I care now
You think because you bought my record
That I owe you somehow?
Is that why you want us on all of your shows
After all the trash talking you thought I didn't know?
I won't do you any favors
And you can blame yourself
Not me, or them, or anyone else.
This is who we are
This is what we believe in
And we don't have the time to compromise
No, we're not giving in
To what you think we should be
Another carbon copy
We don't have much
But at least we have heart
So get ready
I live for the moment the lights hit the stage
I see them singing the words on this page
I write what I mean, I say what I feel
It's all that I've got to help me heal
I live for the moment the lights hit the stage
I see them singing the words on this page
l write what I mean, I say what I feel
It's all that I've got to help me...
Look where I'm leaving you
At the bottom
What you've always lacked
Is heart
This is who we are
This is what we believe in
And we don't have the time to compromise
No, we're not giving in
To what you think we should be
Another carbon copy
We don't have much
But at least we have heart
So get ready
I live for the moment the lights hit the stage
I see them singing the words on this page
I write what I mean, I say what I feel
it's all that I've got to help me heal

I Am The One Who Knocks

How do you give up
On the one thing that you love
How do you just stop
Something that defines who you are
The only place that I can turn
Without judgement when I've been burned
Afraid that I'm not, afraid that I'm not
Strong enough to pretend to be so tough
But I promised myself I'd never give up
Here I am
For you to see
Take it or leave it, leave it, leave it
This is me
Right here, Right now
Is all I've got to save me from this
Here I am
Here I am
Sometimes I think
If it weren't for my pen
Then I'd have no voice at all
Oh, I guess that I'm not much with words
But I'm so full of emotion
Some say too much passion
And maybe too angry
But I won't fake it
I wont take it anymore
I won't stand for it!
Here I am
For you to see
Take it or leave it, leave it, leave it
This is me
Right here, Right now
Is all I've got to save me from this
Here I am
Here I am
I wish someone would teach you
What its like to have a broken heart
I hope that some one out there
Has what it takes to bring you back to Earth
I tried, but I can only do so much
My love, you're so clearly out of touch
And when you do finally wake up
I hope it kills you that these words
Are all that's left of us
Here I am for you to see
Take it or leave it
Take it or leave it
This is me
Here I am
For you to see
Take it or leave it, leave it, leave it
This is me
Right here, Right now
Is all I've got to save me from this
Here I am
Here I am

I love the way
You use your body to escape the fray
Your eyes disguise the truth
Just like they always do
Still i believe you every time
You wear that smile that makes me put my heart on the line
i won't pretend that I don't like the way you fall
I cant imagine why I ever loved you at all
But after all is said and done
i hope you know that you were never the only one

So naive
I can't believe
I let you make a mockery
Of everything I believe
It's not all your fault
I know I should have left
Instead I let my lack of self-respect
Mistake this for love
It's not fair
But all I know
Is nothing feels worse
Than being in love alone
I knew what I was getting into
How foolish of me
To let myself think
That you ever cared
Even a little bit
Just a pawn in this game
That I always let you win
Oh, how could I
How could I
I threw it all
All away
Too scared of something real
I curse my lust for change
I'm big enough
To admit I was wrong
That I've been the problem
All along
It's not fair
But all I know
Is this is what I get
This is what I deserve
I knew what I was getting into
How foolish of me
I knew what I was getting into
How foolish of me
To let myself think
That you ever cared
Even a little bit
Just a pawn in this game
That I always let you win
Oh, how could I
How could I
I knew what I was getting in to
How foolish of me
Just a pawn in this game
that I always let you win
Oh, how could I
How could I

With every word I write
There's so much venom on my tongue
For better or for worse
You've earned each and every one
I wasted so much time
It took so long for me
To realize this is who you are
And all you'll ever be is
A coward and a quitter
I'm not afraid to call you out
You see you're not the only one
Who knows how to run their mouth
Once in a while
Here in the spotlight
It's easy to forget
Who you are
(But don't be surprised)
No matter what your friends say
Once in a while
Here in the spotlight
It's easy to forget
Who you are
(But don't be surprised)
No matter what your friends say
(You're not a star)
With every single sentence
You make it crystal clear
That all you ever wanted
Was to see us beg, well dear
We didn't shatter into pieces
We didn't fade away
And now your best decision
Just became your worst mistake
Trust in me I dare you
I've got everything to prove
Once in a while
Here in the spotlight
It's easy to forget
Who you are
(But don't be surprised)
No matter what your friends say
Once in a while
Here in the spotlight
It's easy to forget
Who you are
(But don't be surprised)
No matter what your friends say
(You're not a star)
Smile and wave
We keep those cameras flashing
Swallow your pride
If you can pry your foot from mouth
Keep those cameras rolling
You're not gonna wanna miss this
I wish you'd burn the fuck out
Or fade away, just don't exist
Once in a while
Here in the spotlight
It's easy to forget who you are
Once in a while
Here in the spotlight
It's easy to forget
Who you are
(But don't be surprised)
No matter what your friends say
Once in a while
Here in the spotlight
It's easy to forget
Who you are
(But don't be surprised)
No matter what your friends say
(You're not a star)

I gave you everything
You ever asked me to
But nothings ever good enough
No, I can never win with you
Not with you
I rip apart my fucking chest
Rapid heart beat never rests
(Not with you)
Take a look at whats inside
I know, I know that I'm alive
I think I'm going crazy
You're driving me insane
I'm ripping out my hair
Trying to believe I'm ok
I'm still standing, I'll be
Right here where you left me
(I'm Ok)
It's a cold hard fact of life
That you're too scared to look me in the eye
Look at what you've done
All this blood has been shed
And it's all your fault
That everyone we know is dead
For every lie that I've been fed
I'll never feel this way again
After I bury this axe in the back of your head
Why can't we talk
I'm begging you to listen
Is this what it takes
To get your undivided attention?
I keep a memory for
Those that went before
You can walk away
But not today
Walk away
Not today
Walk away
Not today
Walk away
No, not today
Look at what you've done
All this blood has been shed
And it's all your fault
That everyone we know is dead
For every lie that I've been fed
I'll never feel this way again
After I bury this axe in the back of your head
For every lie that I've been fed
I'll never feel this way again
After I bury this axe in the back of your head
I'm still standing I'll be
Right here where you left me
It's a cold hard fact of life
That you're too scared to look me in the eye
Look me in the eye

I wish I could break your heart
Like you broke my will to live
I'd give anything, I'd make any deal
If just for a second you'd feel like I feel
Whatever I say
You're quick to dismiss it
You're so fucking hard to deal with
Don't you get mad, you know it's the truth
The only enemy you have here is you
Maybe I'm over reacting
You tell me every day
How I say the sky is falling
(You'll never change)
But if I'm so bad
You must be stupid
For staying so long
How can you say I'm wrong
(Say I'm wrong)
Here I sit with another drink
To help me to forget all of this
Like the look on your face
As we said goodbye
And the marks on your arm
Cause you wanted to die
I just wanted
To be enough for you
But you can't hear me
You never do
Maybe I'm over reacting
You tell me every day
How I say the sky is falling
(You'll never change)
But if I'm so bad
You must be stupid
For staying so long
How can you say I'm wrong
Sometimes this life
Gets into the way
And we get lost inside
Everything we feel and say
But in the end
The only thingthat I really need
Is to get you and your lies
The fuck away from me
Maybe I'm overreacting
You tell me every day
Maybe I'm over reacting
You tell me every day
How I say the sky is falling
(You'll never change)
But if I'm so bad
You must be stupid
For staying so long
How can you say I'm wrong
Maybe I'm over reacting
You tell me every day
How I say the sky is falling
But if I'm so bad
You must be stupid
For staying so long
How can you say I'm wrong
(Say I'm wrong)

She learned her lesson well this time
With busted lips and swollen eyes
For twelve years she would wear the scars
Of when her dad took things too far
She never knew when to love or lie
Or when to fight, or when to hide
So she just kept her thoughts inside
Inside
She ran away
Take another piece of me
I've given all I've got
To make sure that I'm not alone
I'm never looking back
And I'm ok now
One day she met the perfect guy
Who saw things in a different light
Helped her accept her scars
And showed her that she never has to hide
But life can't always be so right
She held their son as he died
She understands now as he cried
Sometimes you pay a debt with life
Keep your head up
Take another piece of me
I've given all I've got
To make sure that I'm not alone
I'm never looking back
And I'm ok now
Living too fast
We're dying way too young
The whole world is against us
What have they ever done
I've gotta keep it together
But I'm not the only one
Open up your eyes
It's up to you to save two lives
Open up your eyes
Take another piece of me
I've given all I've got
To make sure that I'm not alone
I'm never looking back
And I'm ok now

Follow your dreams
That's what they always say
Don't let anyone stand in your way
And don't let anyone tell you who to be
I guess that applies to everyone
Everyone but me
I know they think
I won't amount do anything
And I know they think
I'm just some crazy kid
With my head caught in the clouds
I'll never make anybody proud
I know exactly what they think
And I don't care one bit
I wanna hide
But they always find me first
I wanna be my best
But I'm always at my worst
I wanna be a hero
But I'm not flawless or a size zero
Such a pretty picture
But it's not real
I know they think
I won't amount do anything
And I know they think
I'm just some crazy kid
With my head caught in the clouds
I'll never make anybody proud
I know exactly what they think
And I don't care one bit
Tell me what it feels like
To never finish anything
Tell me what it feels like
To live life for everybody else
And I don't need a label
No, not a single dollar
To know that I've been successful
And I don't need to be seen on any tv
To know, to know that you'll remember me
