1971 05:02
For mankind, some awake to no meaning Who failed their fathers for not being just like them As year go by, the wiser we grow For this path chosen It's walked barefooted and cold Tales always told of them who make it And of evil who come and take it All away Together we climb with common purpose As today fades, tomorrow will come not as worthless No matter how hard we fall We still stand here tonight We are united from feelings of defeat But from this day forward Positivity is all we need You can take your money and your greed We are 1971 We are free "Free" is a misused word and meaning It's all our faults for not seeing Kept by a barrier made from doubt Neglecting all the things you are and are about There’s no reason now to hide There will always be a number of rules we abide by But don't be fooled by the fool that comes with lies Sometimes, the closest person hold secrets you don't want to find

True Grit 04:03
Singing words once sought For our home, not native land That was wounded once but were trying to let the blood to clot Golden hearts strewn across From prairie, mountain and sea With gentle character they were known to be, knew to be We’re not ashamed of who we are But we’re ashamed of what’s become Pride’s been lost to the dust An iron will has been left to rust Are we the only ones Facing an oily wall That will take us to our graves With people passive left a name to shame, a name to shame Every sentence is a kiss Every paragraph an embrace For This love we resist, we resist We’re not ashamed of who we are But we’re ashamed of what’s become Pride’s been lost to the dust And iron will has been left to rust

As we enter the next chapter Let the scars we amount grow thin Let the world go on no further A rebellion from within Let the absurd walls crumble Because it’s all absurd and nothing Its only space between us that inhibits our becoming So let her feel free to walk the street naked And comfortable in her own skin For a better place to live in It’s not about any sort of “Human Nature” It’s a constant reoccurring of Unlearning the binary failure So pour the water for the Men in the team suits Down the drain their dollars spent on Objectification So let her feel free to walk the streets naked And comfortable in her own skin For a better place to live in

Should’ve been the one to know That this train was moving too slow Headed straight for a black hole Even though my heart still grows, and grows And I followed you too far Waiting for our third chance That’s racing just how long we’ll last But every day’s become the same Still placing everyone else to blame, to blame And I followed you too far

White Lies 04:00
All I see is nothing. Nothing does something to me. In a world of hatred, that howls for relief. What makes us close? What is this bothering? A handful of footsteps moving, to drift away with the sea. All I hear are White Lies, To keep alive this thing It is our native poetry, Our song of passivity I hear all the doubt! Under breaths under sheets Just lend me your heart, Hear White Lies with me I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR ANSWERS, BUT YOU’VE BEEN KEEPING THEM BEHIND CLOSED DOORS

The Movement 07:01
To all that feel Injustice from within We write these words for something to believe in Lies have taunted our hearts And our minds remain in the dark Chain attached to the ground Listen for a sound Can you hear the movement? It's what we all need Abstract mammal gone wrong To make you feel the same as it's become Monstrosity at best It'll put you to the test It's in your heart To overcome this Can you hear the movement? Is it what we all need? Can you hear the movement? It's you, you need to believe in. Listen for a sound And fight to let it out, Death is a one way ticket But this life leaves us with no doubt, Now you will stand
