STREETS WILL IGNITE The world's been hijacked The strong keep keeping the hold Where it's money over nothing And nothing's ever been harder to be sold Controlled by corporations By old gray business men Who Counter punch the system I believe it's time to reveal their sins The streets will ignite Until freedom takes its flight Until people grab control Spark a revolt And riot against the world Because it is our turn So watch and learn The gangs been locked up The rules have been changed Cut up and sold back to the land's that Grew it and chopped it up for their own demands Like children in bubbles I feel they're slipping Damn these fools It's time to rise up and fix the state we're in What's different about the world that we're living in? We all keep banging our heads to the same rhythm What's connected with the world that the wars are laced in? We all keep waving our flag. The streets will ignite Until freedom takes its flight Until people grab control Spark a revolt And riot against the world Because it is our turn To let it burn Stop You’ll never catch me looking

L By L 03:45
L BY L Please say what you mean Please don’t scream unless you mean what you say And if you kiss me tonight Before I leave to sleep Know I'll be waking in the morning wondering If you ever loved me Because you say those words Why don’t you? Don’t you? Because you say those words Why won't you? We talk too much Without ever saying a word We kiss we touch Look what love’s brought us We talk too loud Without ever making a sound We’ve broken down Look what love's taught us Little by little by little by little Please say I promise you this Stay awake from the rest of us Just sit back Please don’t watch me relapse I can say that my mind's drawn to confusion Thinking about the way you’ve been thinking about how you look But only through a photograph of a memory Because you say those words How could you? Could you? Because you say those words Why would you? We talk too much Without ever saying a word We kiss we touch Look what love’s brought us We talk too loud Without ever making a sound We’ve broken down Look what love's taught us Little by little by little by little

CONTROL (ALIVE AGAIN) To come back I know I've wanted to All this time I fall past Backwards towards thoughts that were fixed in my mind Forget about the concept of future You just control your mind I swear about the times I've been given Cause I can't control the lines Forever I've been packed away And still I can't go Forever I will find my way Back to my mind And back in control I come back You’re patiently waiting I know I've tempted this multiple times I tend to fall on bad habits These addictions must be fixed now Forget about the context of futures You just control your eyes I swear about the lines I've been living But I can't control the fire Taken I’m taken Taking control Forever I've been packed away And still I can't go home Forever I will find my way Back to my mind I’m back in control Forever I will be taking control of my sweet lows Of my sweet lows

Hush 03:28
Hush Time, time wouldn’t tear us apart desire, desire I will wear you with style love, love should be fair on your heart would it be right to stare and not touch? so let’s start and let’s go until the end babe we don’t need to run, we don’t need to run we can take this nice and slow we don’t need to rush, we don’t need to rush we just need to let this grow Baby, hush Stars, stars they with fill up the sky your touch and embrace I can feel it Let me shout the truth with an attitude for this world to view let’s blow smoke and drink whiskey and make sure that you’ll miss me it’s in the games that leave us bare so let’s start let’s go until the end babe we don’t need to run, we don’t need to run we can take this nice and slow we don’t need to rush, we don’t need to rush we just need to let this grow baby hush
