Nineteen 05:17
I wasn’t wasted Wasn’t prepared Why did you waste out when I needed you there? Holding Holding Out I know I could have wait I saw the smile on your face When we played like children When we played like children And I knew that you wanted that fight to show How you couldn’t be tamed You weren’t gonna be like they’d all become No, you weren’t the same Holding Holding your head Your cold and blood stained face I saw the smile that remained When we played like children When we played like children Nineteen Too Young to Know Slipstream Feel the pain when it comes Changing Things will never be the same But you’ll never know Holding Holding Out I know I could have wait I saw the smile on your face When we played like children When we played like children Holding Holding Out I know I could have wait I saw the smile on your face When we played like children When we played like children Nineteen Too Young to Know Slipstream Feel the pain when it comes Changing Things will never be the same But you’ll never know

Neighbour 04:26
Wasted time, empty spaces, People round here fighting for paper. Careless buying, people dying, And what happened to your neighbour? Isolation, In these four walls, My own prison, In comfort I will fall; Revolution, Rages quiet in my soul; Desolation, Voices ringing down the hall What happened to your neighbour? Are we expendable? Feels like no one’s in control. Bridge: Where does my help come from? My light, my salvation. Wasted time, empty spaces Laughter fades as joy is taken, Careless dying, nation’s crying out What happened to your neighbour?

At My Table 03:29
Look through my window Surprise at the things you might see Look in my eyes though Afraid of what you’ll find of me Come to my table Come tell me your fable Don’t tell me your stable Come eat at my table Oh, Lies only take you Away with the nights, what they make you I cannot judge Cause I am just like you Come lay down your burden Leave your pain behind Your future’s uncertain Peace at this table you’ll find Come to my table Come tell me your fable Don’t tell me your stable Come eat at my table Come to my table Come tell me your fable Don’t tell me your stable Come eat at my table

Raising Up 03:41
There’s too much violence in your tears Ignorance has taught you fear Dont blame the others for your Crimes Have to trust the ones who always were there by your side Wake up to the rising sun Cause the song gave you something New day of the raising up Cause they said you were nothing You suddenly fall inside a well But you got to rise and breathe again You pull from all the times you tried But you know it’s just a fire inside You know it’s just a fire inside Wake up to the rising sun Cause the song gave you something New day of the raising up Cause you know that you’re something New day of standing up To the masters and they’re sons You are the next thing, real thing, big screen, Libertine Raising up from the ashes, Rising up to greet the dawn, Raising up to meet the morning... Wake up to the rising sun Cause the song gave you something New day of the raising up Cause they said you were nothing New day of standing up To the masters and they’re sons You are the next thing, real thing, big screen, Libertine And you’re killing it now .....and you’re killing it now
