Our lives are under attack From those sworn to protect We won't settle for scraps We will fight back! We have nothing to lose Your slavery is refused We're done with your abuse Light the fuse! This is our revolution We'll seize the means of production Across these burnt out states We unite, destroy these chains Our antidote to suffering Will be our physical pain It's too late for your absolution This is the rust belt revolution From each by ability To each by his needs As history repeats As tragedy! This is our revolution We'll seize the means of production Across these burnt out states We unite, destroy these chains Our antidote to suffering Will be our physical pain It's too late for your absolution This is the rust belt revolution No this fight will not be Minds working peacefully We will build the pyre They'll bathe in fire! Destroy every throne They'll reap what they've sown Wage war coast to coast Til the one percent hang from lamp posts

Every day I try to be something I'm not Every night I fall asleep with the lights on Maybe today I'll feel better than before But I'm not holding my breath You make my weak at the knees You make me strong when I am empty I remember every single word you said to me But I can hardly repeat them back I woke up in a body bag I closed my eyes, hit snooze a hundred more times Then I felt the rush, I felt warm I think I even felt happy You make my weak at the knees You make me strong when I am empty I remember every single word you said to me But I can hardly repeat them back In a red room, full of strangers I try to spot you, try to talk to you In a red room, fill of strangers I try to smile at you from afar

Nothing worth having comes easy But I sure could use a break I'm worn out on cold and tired folks In this dirty rust belt state But I do it every day I wake before the dawn I lace up these old worn out work boots And I put my game face on Don't forget you're here forever Do it for her! So you can push and you can shove (do it for her) But you won't make me give up (do it for her) The world against me's not enough (do it for her) I do it for her So I'm done burning bridges Lord knows I've torched my share But I have enough smoke in my lungs It's too much effort to care No I'm done living in the past I've got the future next to me As her quiet breathing take the pain away I'm right where I need to be Don't forget you're here forever Do it for her! So you can push and you can shove (do it for her) But you won't make me give up (do it for her) The world against me's not enough (do it for her) I do it for her I know that I'm here forever But forever's not so bad Cause it's going to take forever To give you all the love I have So I know odds are against me But I'm damn sure gonna try Cause I know I'll never be perfect But maybe I can be in your eyes Do it for her! So you can push and you can shove (do it for her) But you won't make me give up (do it for her) The world against me's not enough (do it for her) I do it for her

Been struggling with feeling like myself again Been playing some card game that I know I can’t win Don’t know how long a boy is meant to live this way But I sure as shit won’t have it another way These manifestations are shaped a lot like men in suits They smell like doctors and uncaring eyes This tastes like another lonely September night And it feels like another sappy song I’ve been facing all these demons in 1-player mode But I can no longer face them Face them on my own Another 3am booze-soaked smoke-filled night Cobble together these plans, fuck us if we see morning I just want to feel like I’ve lived But I know you do too This sidewalk has been paved with self-righteous feelings Selfish thoughts that I wish I didn’t feel I could explode any day now But I think I'd like to try I’ve been facing all these demons in 1-player mode But I can no longer face them Face them on my own

I've wrote 37 songs About how you've done me wrong And only one about the ways you've loved me An endless list of lame cliches About your evil little ways And all the twists of knives you buried in me But I'm done getting wasted over you Wasting paper, ink and my blood too You've already wasted enough time But the life you waste won't be mine I'm writing a comeback story Maybe the best ever done I'll climb this mountain, slay the beast And this is only chapter one Our story'sover, start the next Life has no ever after My story's gonna blow your fucking mind And this is just the first chapter I've died a thousand deaths And not a single one less But all of them were only in my head Each time I survive the sword I pick myself up of the floor And turn the page instead I'm writing a comeback story Maybe the best ever done I'll climb this mountain, slay the beast And this is only chapter one Our story's over, start the next Life has no ever after My story's gonna blow your fucking mind And this is just the first chapter No more will I raise my hands to fight No matter what storm may rise These hands have found the words to write I will do more than survive I'm writing a comeback story Maybe the best ever done I'll climb this mountain, slay the beast And this is only chapter one Our story's over, start the next Life has no ever after My story's gonna blow your fucking mind And this is just the first chapter
