Story Of The Year - In The Wake Of Determination (2005)
"We Don't Care Anymore"
Underneath the gun in front of waiting eyes Our time has just begun no second chance tonight
So we walk the longest days to live inside the shortest nights We compromise our hearts to keep them satisfied The shadows of our past, hard to ignore but judgment means nothing that's not what we're fighting for
We don't care anymore [x4]
Underneath the gun in front of doubting eyes We walk this path as one take on the world tonight And we'll carve our names into their bones We'll never sell ourselves that's not what we're fighting for
We don't care anymore [x4]
I won't let this love, I won't let this love die, I won't let it die There is only one thing that matters this time At the hands of judgment I won't let it die, no sacrifice, regrets left behind, I won't let it die
This time, yeah, this time I won't let it die, that's not what we're fighting for
We don't care anymore [x5]
No we don't care anymore We don't care anymore We don't care anymore
I won't let this love, I won't let this love die
"Take Me Back"
Do you still remember back when days were longer, dreams were bigger then The weight of the world had not yet landed on the shoulders of a man (I THOUGHT) I thought that time stood still, sheltered, protected They never told me this would end or that the leaves would fall again
So take me back, back to better days Cause this time between is wasting me away Take me back, when we were not afraid Cause this time between is wasting me away
There was a day when this world went to war and didn't bat an eye Real life in the movies felt the same to me and I never questioned why (I KNOW) I know the difference now, between fact and fiction But I've come to find that I've grown bitter in just 24 short years
So take me back, back to better days Cause this time between is wasting me away So take me back, when we were not afraid Cause this time between is wasting me away
Wasting me away, Waste away So now we're running, we're running blind into the light And we fall behind We're running and wasting away with time
So take me back, back to better days
Cause this time between is wasting me away Take me back, when we were not afraid [x3]
Cause this time between is wasting me away
Yeah take me back, just take me back, yeah take me back (Take me back) Yeah take me back, just take me back, yeah take me back (Take me back) When we were not afraid
"Our Time Is Now"
Today will be the day to start rising up and fighting back And from this moment on we will live our lives With open hearts and open eyes
Just keep pushing forward We take control, we take control Keep fighting onward We take control, we take control Keep pushing forward We take control, we take control And we will never step down
We won't fall or hesitate and from this rotting life we disengage Can we strive to break away and stop wasting time on these insecurities?
Just keep pushing forward We take control, we take control Keep fighting onward We take control, we take control Keep pushing forward We take control, we take control And we will never step down
Our time is now, our time is now, our time is now We won't step down, no we won't step down No we won't step down, no we won't step down We won't step down Because our world is waiting for us to live Because our world is waiting for us to live
So right now just keep pushing forward We take control, we take control Keep fighting onward We take control, we take control Just keep pushing forward We take control, we take control Keep fighting onward We take control, we take control And we'll never step down
Our time is now, our time is now, yeah
"Taste The Poison"
It's the same old story I've seen it all too many times It's the fall from glory that makes you feel...

And you know the hardest truth can flow like water now break down, the moment that it touches your mouth So place your lips against the bottle, take it down it feels good to lose control of everything but I wasn't myself, I wasn't myself, she said
And it's the same old story I've seen it all too many times it's the fall from glory that makes you feel alive

"Stereo"

"Sleep"
a million miles an hour we swallow dotted lines tonight and we ingest the pavement ignore the passing lights and the streets they call our names they call our names we'll never feel the same
tearing through this ghost town they haunt the lifeless streets still it seems they call our names they call our names we'll never feel the same

"March Of The Dead"
You tell yourself that you're not the same As you stand in line, your time will all be wasted Scum-littered earth, blind lead the dead Blood-thirsty zombies cloned to reject The colorful, the brightest eyes
So take these words for what they are (Lights out! Lights out!) That's what you say, what you say So take these words for what they are (Lights out! Lights out!) That's what you say, what you say, yeah!
Deny the chance to think for yourself You inherit lies, your time has all been wasted Follow tradition to quench your thirst And swallow vomit from ancestors So shun the queer and praise the skies
So take these words for what they are (Lights out! Lights out!) That's what you say, what you say So take these words for what they are (Lights out! Lights out!) That's what you say, what you say, yeah!
So now you stand in line Embrace your leaders Stand in line And feast on their words Stand in line Embrace your leaders Stand in line Feast on their words Refuse to learn And choke on dead traditions Are you gonna take your turn Or just stand in line?

Your denial will lead you single-file into the ground You're already dead! You're already dead! You're already dead! You're already dead! You're dead!!
"Pay Your Enemy"
Your face is never missed Your cleverness, the cunning words did not exist Bitter, bleak, you're fucking weak You know you don't deserve a thing You fight for pride to save your name To heal the scars and erase the shame Dig the grave, dig the grave Save an ounce of dignity 'Cause there's nothing left to prove TO YOU!
You've become the enemy Let it go (whoa, whoa!) But you'll never take the blame So let it go (whoa, whoa!)
I'll tear it down, arrogant, sycophant Flatter everyone you can I'm pulling teeth, 'cause talk is cheap And my regrets are elbow-deep So now it's time to chase the dream With hand grenades and gasoline Burn it down, burn it down Every gracious word you speak 'Cause now I see right through, so FUCK YOU!
You've become the enemy Let it go (whoa, whoa!) But you'll never take the blame So let it go (whoa, whoa whoa!)
The time has come, you know TO JUST LET GO! JUST LET IT ALL GO!
And it's not enough That you're handing everything Still you smile to my face But this time, I'LL TEAR IT DOWN! I'LL TEAR IT DOWN! I'll tear it down 'Cause there's nothing left to prove to you
You've become the enemy Let it go (whoa, whoa!) But you'll never take the blame So let it go (whoa, whoa whoa!)
You are your own worst enemy, we know (Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa, whoa whoa!)
"Wake Up The Voiceless"
I've swallowed every hook Fallen for their disguise Lived by the book Felt the blade of the knife As it pressed against my neck We're taught to imitate Segregate and divide Do what we're told Rise and fall with the tide If we refuse to play the pawn They will hear us screaming...
WAKE UP THE VOICELESS! WAKE UP THE REVOLUTION! Whoa, we are alive tonight! WAKE UP THE VOICELESS! WAKE UP THE REVOLUTION! Whoa, we are alive tonight!
They advertise your life Through a blanket of lies Expand the truth So their profits will rise Ignore the sacrifice Liars casting stones At the gods they create We're amplified to provide what they take If we refuse to play the role They will hear us screaming...
WAKE UP THE VOICELESS! WAKE UP THE REVOLUTION! Whoa, we are alive tonight! WAKE UP THE VOICELESS! WAKE UP THE REVOLUTION! Whoa, we are alive tonight!
GO!!
They're the reason for defiance We can't ignore We're the promise of a new day This is a war The blood will spill The voices will be heard And tonight, we are alive
I've swallowed every hook Fallen for their disguise Lived by the book Felt the blade of the knife But I refuse to play the role They will hear me screaming...
WAKE UP THE VOICELESS! WAKE UP THE REVOLUTION!
Whoa, we are alive tonight! WAKE UP THE VOICELESS! WAKE UP THE REVOLUTION! [x3]
Whoa, we are alive tonight! [x2]
We are alive tonight! [x4]
""Is This My Fate?", He Asked Them"
Do you really fucking think that it's a choice, a way of life played by discrimination? you're narrow-minded, quick to judge with bible belt tunnel vision
This is ignorance failure to evolve is failure to us all when will you learn that this is where we fall failure to evolve is failure to us all when will you learn that this is where we fall where we fall
"Is this my fate!?" he asked them they answered, condemning him to burn rejected, forsaken, for being fucking born I can't believe that this is still a question that needs an answer a bigot's eyes judging lives based on the sex of who you fuck
This is ignorance failure to evolve is failure to us all when will you learn that this is where we fall failure to evolve is failure to us all when will you learn that is where we fall where we fall
Burn (burn), burn (burn) judged and condemned to burn (burn), burn (burn) judged and condemned to burn
When will you learn? will you learn? when will you learn?
