Another Day 03:14
Every morning when I wake up and as I try to rise I can't see the sun for the smoke before my eyes Rapidly descending into something I despise And it took so long for me to realise There's nowhere to run and nowhere to hide And no one who'll stand up and fight for your side No walking away from the future that's implied And one by one we start to witness the decline Hey, we've got to make this right, so give us just another day We've got to make this right, so give us just another day We've got to make this right, so give us just another day We're running out of time before we start to drift away There's a banging at my door again, I know it isn't me A lingering hangover of a harsh reality You've never had it easier they'll tell you that for free Is it all for nought? It's a possibility You're stuck on the swings and roundabouts, can't get off You're much too proud Struggling with the deafening thoughts you'd never Thought you'd say out loud The noise reaches a piercing din, nothing else is sinking in Laugh all you want, won't mean a thing, so many ways, where to begin? Hey, we've got to make this right, so give us just another day We've got to make this right, so give us just another day We've got to make this right, so give us just another day We're running out of time before we start to drift away Hey, we've got to make this right, so give us just another day We've got to make this right, so give us just another day We've got to make this right, so give us just another day We're running out of time before we start to drift away There's nowhere to run and nowhere to hide And no one who'll stand up and fight for your side There's nowhere to run and nowhere to hide And no one who'll stand up and fight for your side There's nowhere to run and nowhere to hide And no one who'll stand up and fight for your side There's nowhere to run and nowhere to hide And no one who'll stand up and fight for your side

Differences 04:36
Don't fade away The scars will heal much faster if you stay Sometimes you've got to batten down Keep your feet stuck to the ground When your world is turning upside down Some say that life's a blessing, some say it's a piece of shit But after all is said and done, we've all got to live with it So if you go your way and I'll go mine We'll both make tracks along parallel lines And meet back in the middle when we know that the time is right Because we're only human, as far as I can see And we all need our place in society Show a little more humility We can be who we all want to be Pay no mind, what's it doing anyway? When you're putting up your walls and burning bridges 'long the way Make your mark and have your say And maybe we'll make it through another day Don't say it's so It's not for you or me to know You have to see when enough's enough Before it all starts boiling up And the mist begins to overflow If your fists say more than your mind could ever Better get a hold of that emotional tether You're not too far gone, the gap's closer than ever Before you go, you have to know whether To take one step back or go full attack Because there's no use deciding when there's no way back Because we're only human, as far as I can see And we all need our place in society Show a little more humility We can be who we all want to be Pay no mind, what's it doing anyway? When you're putting up your walls and burning bridges 'long the way Make your mark and have your say And maybe we'll make it through another day It's differences that make us That's how it goes Doesn't mean tonight has got to end on a bloody nose

Beatdown 05:40
There's gonna be a beatdown Walls reverberate with the sound A rumble from the underground Too many youth lost under the kosh Is it any wonder they've all had enough? Beatdown, never forget The greatest to come has not happened yet Four short chords to settle the score If you wanted more, I guess this means war So they say we are the have-nots And our ideals are all we've got But if we stand together with united voices They're never gonna stop us There's gonna be a beatdown It's too little too late here I fear, isn't it clear? When you choose to ignore what we've all said before There's only so much that we can endure Beatdown, going against the grain Bring it all down with a crashing refrain Look in our eyes, tell me what do you see? What comes next don't come easily So they say we are the have-nots And our ideals are all we've got But if we stand together with united voices They're never gonna stop us They never lift a finger, get it all their own way They skim the top and scarper just as fast as you can say What do you think they're seeing on their big screen now? Where do you think they'll be when the shit comes down? You know there's no escaping because we're coming from all sides There's no turning back, you better run for your life This ain't some game we play, don't make me tell you twice We're showing our hand and we don't play nice So they say we are the have-nots And our ideals are all we've got But if we stand together with united voices They're never gonna stop us They're never gonna stop us now

The animals are coming out tonight The cage was left open, something ain't right You better stay home You better stay out of sight They feed on the scraps left over by society The kind they never offer to you or me But we all got our price And nothing comes for free And it's none for all and all for one The heart and soul is ripped out before they've even begun Keep those memories locked away in your head No giving or forgiving when you're living in the land of the dead Hush, what's that? What's coming round? What is this descending on our little town To come and pay you off When you're six feet underground? And it's none for all and all for one The heart and soul is ripped out before they've even begun Keep those memories locked away in your head No giving or forgiving when you're living in the land of the dead Shh, don't cry, there's nothing you can do You won't recognise here when they're through But if luck should have it They might just have a place for you And it's none for all and all for one The heart and soul is ripped out before they've even begun Keep those memories locked away in your head No giving or forgiving when you're living in the land of No giving or forgiving when you're living in the land of No giving or forgiving when you're living in the land of the dead

Don't you look back Do what you must do And if you want my company Then I'll go right along with you Don't you look back Do what you must do And if you want my company Then I'll go right along with you It's been so long Since you came my way Could have been a month or a thousand years But it feels just like yesterday I know we've had our ups and downs Tears and laughter, smiles and frowns But I'd never trade a moment in Because I wake up every morning feeling like I win Don't you look back Do what you must do And if you want my company Then I'll go right along with you Don't you look back Do what you must do And if you want my company Then I'll go right along with you I know you've got some way to go Don't want to rest on the ebb and flow I'd like to be there when I can But sometimes life don't go to plan Believe in you more and more each day But sometimes I can't find the words to say I'll be right here whenever you need Will it all pan out? Well, let's just see Don't you look back Do what you must do And if you want my company Then I'll go right along with you Don't you look back Do what you must do And if you want my company Then I'll go right along with you It's not always easy, I know But that's just the way it goes And if you feel you've reached an end We'll try again Don't you look back Do what you must do And if you want my company Then I'll go right along with you
