We’ve got more power than we know what to do with don’t believe me then kids looks like this time we’ve gotta prove it So get off your knees and on your feet I got some friend think you should meet Introducing this is Your Resonation Only the strong ever survive If you wanna make it out alive Join the resonation it’s time you pick a side Never been complicated it’s always been inside You’ve got your dreams come and show me Make me believe You’ve got the power go start your revolution but what are you fighting for is it the problem or solution We may just want to dance all day and night But we still know what’s wrong from right What do they know They don’t know about redemption Can you hear the resonation Can you feel your last chance passing by

How was I supposed to know it was time to let it go Somewhere you gave up the dream well I guess that wasn't up to me Looks like I've been left on my own with nothing left to show Cause I've always been a little slow but this looks like a new low Welcome to the end of the line oh please wish me better luck next time They can all say what they want I'm never gonna stop I won't drag them down This might be all just Wishful Thinking But I think I will stick around I won't ever quits This might be all just Wishful Thinking, But I think they can't handle this I could use a fresh new start got losing down to an art This could be my only chance to prove to myself I won't come last So if that is your best shot man you better make it count Don't know what they're in for this time Cause they're not putting up a fight I'm gonna make 'em see the light Judge and jury set me free give me strength to just believe My whole life always told me that there's just some things I could never be well they Haven't seen anything yet I’m gonna show 'em something they won't forget

Future Tense 03:09
Looking for wisdom in all the wrong places like on the bathroom walls and television stations And if I had answers I wouldn’t have anything all I’ve got are questions and no one else is listening None of this makes any sense Past and present Future Tense None of this makes any sense I’m just past and present Future Tense Make up your mind and tell me where we’re going and just what do you need I got no way of knowing Everything is nothing so what are we so proud of can’t get something for free so nothing is all I have found Today’s the oldest that I’ll ever want to be Cause no one likes you when you’re twenty-three It’s time to grow up and quit your damn complaining just get out on the road if you’re lost so what so are we And now if you don’t try you still just end up nowhere you’ve got your whole life and fortune favors those who

Is it worse to be the quitter or worse to be the winner when we When we’re not fighting anymore then tell me what we’re dying for Spinning out of control faster looks like this is a catastrophe And nothing’s ever been so clear you gotta get me outta here. I just want to make it through Find the difference between love and truth Find what it means to be a man When you’ve got nothing left to lose And I don’t want to know the answers cause the cure is worse than the disease Who knows how this all will end well I guess that just depends I can see the smoking gun marching closer to extinction Don’t want to go out like this not as a Goddamn hypocrite Not listening to your fighting words maybe you just haven’t heard We’re not martyrs anymore I’ll tell you what we’re living for Just because the ship is sinking that doesn’t mean that I’ll just quit and leave Looks like they just raised the stakes I’ll do Whatever It Takes

Tell me who I am I can't seem to remember anymore forgotten more about myself my friends and everyone than I'll ever learn again What should I believe when my reflection it don’t seem to resemble me and I stay awake all night cause I'm afraid to sleep I'm afraid of what I'll see I'm afraid of everything Some more hollow words from a hollow man Some more shallow thoughts for my shallow plans I don't know what to do Waste my time I’m Wasted Without You So what is wrong with me I'll waste my second chance I don't know how to change and how I want to feel is three time zones away but I'll stay

Not A Test 03:27
I don’t have a prayer you don’t have a clue the truth’s what you make yeah it’s up to you Cause I’m passive aggressive a loser and a pain I’ve got no direction got no one to blame Out on a limb now that was my mistake I’m taking it back now cause this is such a waste This is Not A Test If we’re desperate then that’s the first step Said you’re afraid well I think you’ll find that you better be want to stay alive Now I’ve got a question what’s in it for me If you’ve got the answer what’s it gonna be It’s time that we find out who is using who Don’t like what you find out then what are you gonna do

Gun For Hire 03:34
Well I've got my bad ideas and you've got some strange desires Good thing we've made this connection want to see how far we can let this go Oh let me know I've got my high hopes and dreams and you've got your down to earth plans But I’m still so young and restless think this time I'm finally gonna blow Gonna explode I’m a lover not a fighter but I’d be your Gun For Hire If you’d let it go And I think things would be better if we’d just get it together girl Let me know What it takes to be the one I've got electric guitars and you've got your friends and sisters All the boys think they’d be better but honey we both know they don’t know me So I disagree What it takes to be The one that you want at the end of the night The one that you need to be in your life The one that you know's gonna put up the fight To be the best damn man you've ever had

Oh baby how long can we play this game this game there’s no winning And baby no this ain’t what I’ve wanted to say so I guess I’ll keep singing Now this ain’t a joke and I gave you the signs I thought I’d be with you the rest of my life But baby now I know I’ve been wrong before Now is this the end oh don’t think it I can’t pretend we’re not sinking And hearts they mend Should we say enough is enough Enough’s Never Enough Oh baby now I know we’ve talked about this before but nothing’s been changing So baby oh should I just walk out your door could you give a warning My heart’s on my sleeve so if you’d be so kind You’d quit being cruel and make up your damn mind Cause baby don’t think I can take anymore Oh baby we’ve both got our share of regrets ain’t ya scared this’ll be one And baby thing’s were so good I could never forget you but now I need a reason And you’ve gotta show me lay it on the line Was your love for real was I wasting my time Cause baby I swore that I’d never waste yours

It's just a penny for your thoughts it's just dollar for my Lies now we're far too broke for either and I can't look you in the eyes And I can't find anyone to sympathize so won't you please just take me away And I’m still so very lonely cause all I’ve got is this mirror I hate the things I see in it it just shows me but clearer Who's to say who is a villain when we never found a hero Some things they never change So here's to you this is my last Confession It may not be the truth but baby I got discretion No amount of praying's gonna change what I am I wish I was dead And it may be so cliche but I can't take anymore When everyday's the same the hell am I living for When nothing ever changes why should I give a damn I wish I was dead How can anyone stand living when everything's so fleeting and every time I stop and think I think my brain needs cleaning The greatest joke that was ever told pretended this had meaning when everything's just a game So here we are in this slow suicide and everytime we question it we might just realize That the greatest things in life are the one's we’ll never find That nothing gold ever stays

She couldn't tell a lie I'm gonna miss her no matter how I try I'm no good with goodbyes never know what to say I'm scared I'll spend my life wishing I had stayed Cause she had all the right things So I’ll try to follow through But when you live a world apart There's not much I can do So I'm always gonna wonder Yes I'm always gonna wonder Could there have been a happy ending If I'd just stayed in Peru I guess I must be blind it's not like it is every day I find A girl who makes me believe I can do anything and if I'd never met her I'd miss her just the same Sweetest girl I've ever met memories I won't forget, Haven't given up just yet on the life we could've had Stealing kisses on the street all the pictures I will keep Conversations were so sweet now I'm missing her so bad Must have been all meant to be if I'd done things differently When did I get so lucky yes she made my favorite days From the night we hardly slept lying next to her in bed She's my bittersweet regret but at least I can still say We’ll Always Have Cusco
