We Burn 04:35
Patience lost, tempers rise We built these walls to keep this quiet We burn Fears and whispers spread like fire They get out and they run wild We Burn We burn We're all burned and we're all tired We've lost our homes and our desires We burn Our minds are tender, can we decide There is hope through the fire We burn We burn Take me now
2.
Aesthetics 05:50
If you feel like getting out Get out If you feel like breaking down Break down If you feel like you're alright tonight Don't forget that you're on borrowed time tonight Don't you get it why we close our eyes? You're so aesthetic that it lulls our minds Do you feel like it's enough enough? Do you feel like you got it rough? So rough Do you feel like you're in touch? A touch Do you know why you're in such a rush to lush? Don't you get it why we close our eyes You're so aesthetic that it lulls our minds Wake up and smile now You don't get it It's so poetic I fall in love with your vacant eyes I don't want to get stuck in this hole I don't want to get stuck in this hole

Phoenix 07:06
Rise from the ashes After we burn Same old reactions We never learn Bridges we set on fire with words that we say Rivers we drown in when we get in over our heads I can't say this is what I planned Or make this easy to understand I reach for the stars with my hand I fell short again
4.
Silent Cries 04:24
You have your documents We have our common sense You have your own pretext We have our arguments You say it's our defense To live behind a fence May I remind you you broke our lives Silent cries and violent wars Human nature takes its course You have a bias tongue And all the songs you've sung Have all been meaningless They gave our souls no rest And now you want us to Believe that what you do Will give the whole world a better life Silent cries and violent wars Human nature takes its course Silent cries and no remorse Silent cries and violent wars
5.
Low (free) 03:34
You planted seeds of doubt and watched them grow. Then when trouble sprouts you act like you don't know. Low, way low, way low down is where I go. I've got a pretty smile and my eyes glow. Sometimes I cannot deny it's all for show. I've got it figured out, but I don't know. And when it all comes crashing down, I guess I go... Low, way low, way low down is where I go.

Jade 05:22
You take from the poor man You take from him everything Give it all to the rich man Who doesn't need anything We follow in their footsteps Our children's children Making the same mistakes Iniquities of our forefathers Transgressions staining our bloody hands We serve up bitter fruit We're jaded Americans There's always more to loot For jaded America There's always more to take We never make mistakes We can't see what's at stake More violence will follow Politicians thriving on blood and oil We sing for the sorrow Left behind, buried in stolen soil We manifest destiny Shape the minds of the people we destroy Repetition of history But we still can't see the coming storm We serve up bitter fruit We're jaded Americans There's always more to loot For jaded America There's always more to take We never make mistakes We can't see what's at stake
7.
To Arms 02:51
Grab your own and hold them tight You're in the middle, you have to fight But do you know what side you're on? Do you know who you are? This world was built on lies We're all victims of our own device If you could just open your eyes And see who you are You've gone to far Lead us astray You can't hold us down To arms There is a war outside You're in the middle, you have to decide Is this a hill to die upon? Do you know who you are? This world was built on lies You're all alone and it's no surprise When it all comes tumbling down You see who you are You've gone to far Lead us astray You can't hold us down To arms
8.
The Tank 04:58
High above the clouds in the sky There is still sun There is still light Heal me up Before we wipe Heal me with Your sun, your light This place brings back memories Before I saw the light The night I fell to my enemies Now I return to fight
9.
Take down the tyrant Don't let him live When things get violent We won't forgive Within these walls we shiver Behind doors of confusion When these walls all shatter We lie down and cower Take down the tyrant Don't let him win When things get violent We can't forget Within these walls we shiver Behind doors of confusion When these walls all shatter We lie down and cower We watch terror rise We are terrified We all turn and hide We must turn and fight When the war ends We will be friends again
10.
Patterns 04:13
I see your face and I see patterns I hope your right and it won't matter Our lives are defined by disaster There is no happily ever after We fight and we die We laugh and we cry We have and we deny We love and we survive There are no tickets to paradise You take your chances here, roll the dye It makes no difference to run and hide We see right through your disguise We fight and we die We laugh and we cry We have and we deny We love and we survive
11.
Poltergeist 06:25
We built these houses On the bones of forgotten tribes Sucked right in By the pull of your rotten lies Lost inside a labyrinth Of your mind I try to walk towards the light I try
