The Warriors 04:40
Everyday reminds how, We get up we get up, and we strive to survive in the now The bottom line, I’ll redefine divine ways I’ll take what’s mine today Travel Outwards, journey inwards to find This life digs deep Face the past for Those before you mastered The beaten course We are the warriors I’ve crawled through the Earth And sifted through the dirt, just to find out what it means Sacrifice yourself to earn, What others only dream Travel Outwards, journey inwards to find This life digs deep Face the past for Those before you mastered The beaten course We are the warriors I foresee distant stars to be Free from all that you see in me

How did I get led astray We are wrong Whatever made me feel this way Fanning the fire grew the flame I've realized, you and I Are so much better when we stay But now, we are the product Can't stop, a new construct Guard’s down, we surrender Now were, tougher together Changing paths Led away for all to see Through my fingers and now it’s gone But now, we are the product Can't stop, a new construct Guard’s down, we surrender Now were, tougher together How did I get led astray But now, we are the product Can't stop, a new construct Guard’s down, we surrender Now were, tougher together

Silence to bring the only one back, only one that masquerades around a silly fact Silence to numb the child within that, he himself anticipates that he had met his match For all that I know (for all) is it worth it cause it hurts? (things are looking up), A wretched universe (never again), show me what I'm worth To see what we made in our search, create, it quickly escalates, it's bigger than the earth Silence to choose the artifacts that, Will remain to recreate all that will die and pass Silence to cease the cardiac dance, dissipates then melts away another soul collapsed For all that I know (for all) is it worth it cause it hurts? (things are looking up), A wretched universe (never again), show me what I'm worth To see what we made in our search, create, it quickly escalates, it's bigger than the earth

Failure to translate My mental state Where did it all go? I thought we knew each other better than that Brittle and hollow Do what you’re told to and follow the dance I’ve said it before and the fact remains, We all construct and then rearrange what’s true (make it up, make it up) Flashing lights as illumination strikes now I’m sure Lies procured And it feels the same (But you know that it’s not) Nothing has changed (You know I will) And the fascinations we’ve fabricated I’ve said the same thing time and time again Time to face yourself man don’t pretend

You can see me, you can feel me Yet discretely try to defeat me, what does that say about you? Because lately, I’ve been thinking About the active state of misleading, take a look at yourself before you blame someone else

The scent you left lingering in my room infectious Like a virus I’m left helpless What am I to do when innocence consumes? Looking back, it was something fresh and new Just another thing to do, just another thing to do I know, oh it goes to show we’ve Made due, this was all we knew as the Moon falls, loving through the night Tomorrow, we will say good bye You and I are creatures acting naturally Don’t think with our heads just move our bodies I wanna hold you close, and kiss your lips You’re the one I want Feeling like we’re losing grip With all we’ve done tonight We will be entwined The beauty that we find No concept of time I know, oh it goes to show we’ve Made due, this was all we knew as the Moon falls, loving through the night Tomorrow, we will say good bye You and I are creatures acting naturally Don’t think with our heads just move our bodies Through the night losing sight, Turn the lights out, blur Do it right, I won’t fight Baby make me slur I know, oh it goes to show we’ve Made due, this was all we knew as the Moon falls, loving through the night Tomorrow, we will say good bye I know, oh it goes to show we’ve Made due, this was all we knew as the Moon falls, loving through the night Tomorrow, we will say good bye You and I are creatures acting naturally Don’t think with our heads just move our bodies

Every time I drive up to your light The anxiety inside, with the thought of just your sight I can’t wait til we collide As we fall right out the sky I get lost inside your eyes As time slips by and I can’t defy, These things they got a hold on me I’m going through my darkest days Stuck inside this endless maze Monotony, has gotten me, acting, acting, catastrophically Can’t you see there’s so much more, dwelling, buried deep inside of me, GO And you still attempt to define our lives, And we won’t abide to the lies contrived No I won’t take this anymore Realizing the path I’ve come to abhor All these rules they bling, and constrict me All these paths define First come, first serve What you get is what you’ve earned First come, first serve What you get is what you’ve earned

And I can’t find a moment Or a reason to hold onto myself Can I be so soft-spoken? Unusual token of my wealth You are the one that had kept up and stepped up beyond our senseless selves And is this my condolence Impossible to please Please help me out Don’t pin it all back on me, Pin it all back on me Your words come out, affluent and leave The room aloud I’m surprised by now, you haven’t figured out How it all went down I know what’s going on You know that you were wrong I guess I’m moving on Baby just play along Am I chasing this feeling lying under the ceiling by ourselves? I look in your direction Damn you’re such a tease Your words come out, affluent and leave The room aloud I’m surprised by now, you haven’t figured out It all went down We scream and shout and still you don’t believe how it went down
