LONG LIVE THE JEWEL CITY
A constant life of paranoia
A drastic change from the peace of before
These city streets are filling up with chaos
Avoid eye contact at all times out there

Darkness falls to the sound of door locks
The people hide with no plan to react
Fear slowly takes them like a sickness
Bars on the windows and metal gates over doors

Too many people look away
Convinced that they can’t make a change
But we have got to have an impact
It’s time to make our voice heard loud and clear

If it’s not done for the people we should do it ourselves
“To protect and serve” is everyone’s job
It’s not someone else’s problem if no one will fix it
I swear 3 years ago we were still free

I’ve always loved it where I live
We’ll give up when we’re dead
We will stand firm and vow to protect everyone we love
I’ve always loved it where I live
We’ll give up when we’re dead
We will stand firm and vow to protect everyone we love

We refuse to be here tied down
We’ll use all means to make things right
It’s time to make our voice heard loud and clear
Use everything we can to take our lives back

TAKE OUR LIVES BACK

THIS TOWN CAN'T HOLD ME
I must escape
I need some change
I crave adventure
I want to break this routine
In search of everything
That might mean change to me
I want to see the world
From the inside out

This puzzle isn’t complete
I know there’s more for me
This town can’t hold me forever

Don’t want the same four walls
To be a prison
I love it here
But I know this isn’t all there is
Let’s grab the map
And let’s grab our gear
Then hit the road and see
Everything that we can see in every place out there

This puzzle isn’t complete
I know there’s more for me
This town can’t hold me forever
No more complacency
Forget your apathy
I want excitement to embrace me
Let’s go take it all in
When we look back we should all say
This was my life and I have no regrets

I must escape
I need some change
I crave adventure
I want to break this routine
In search of everything
That might mean change to me
I want to see the world
From the inside out

Let’s go take it all in
When we look back we should all say
This was my life and I have no regrets

UNDER A BLACKENED SKY
I want to deny…  Any part in the massacre laid out before me
I know I look guilty as sin…  And my hands are all cut up and bleeding and bruised

Some people may call me a monster
I know it’s ugly what I have become
I rely on my heightened senses
To do a job only I can get done
The sight of me may be disturbing
The thought of me may seem unreal
I do my work when the moon’s at its fullest
But you’ll never find me on the ground below

I’m all alone…  But I move like an army of thousands
The last thing that’s heard…  Is the air all around you being sliced in two

Some people may call me a monster
I know it’s ugly what I have become
I rely on my heightened senses
To do a job only I can get done
The sight of me may be disturbing
The thought of me may seem unreal
I do my work when the moon’s at its fullest
But you’ll never find me on the ground below

It’s a dirty job…  That doesn’t need to get done
But that could never stop me…  Because I was chosen
I don’t think it was talent…  Maybe just bad luck?
My brain won’t stop aching…  I con-ti-nue on
I couldn’t stop if I wanted to…  My path is laid out before me
I couldn’t stop if I wanted to…  My path is laid out before me
There’s no escape from this
There’s no escape from me
There’s no escape from this
There’s no escape from this
