Burn It Down 02:23
Look up Not into the sky, but forward Don't just sit there With your head down Staring at all the wood on the ground Let the friction Of your feet Catch the fallen leaves into an ember Burn it down The world is yours And don't forget to look up

I thought that my Utopia was coming around the bend But it drowned it in the state where the angels met my corps The congressmen sit in their chair As our leaders declare war Then the rebels start all over once again Let's all go AWOL Celebrate with clapping hands All around the world these activists all take the stand Live against brutality until the day you die Celebrate with Clapping Hands all around the world I'm pushing down the button Cause my blood runs way to thin Don't let them throw you're life away Go fight that war machine If united we strong Together we can't fall But that revaluation seems to carry on and on and on and on Let's all go AWOL Celebrate with clapping hands All around the world these activists all take the stand Live against brutality until the day you die Celebrate with Clapping Hands all around the world Thank you for putting all those flowers in the tanks Thank you for defying all those military ranks But this war machine keeps spinning on someone's fingertips Who's probably never done one single push up in his life Let's all go AWOL Celebrate with clapping hands All around the world these activists all take the stand Live against brutality until the day you die Celebrate with Clapping Hands all around the world Let's all go AWOL Celebrate with clapping hands All around the world these activists all take the stand Live against brutality until the day you die Celebrate with Clapping Hands all around the world

I'm not trying to walk a path Cause I can't walk straight to save my life I dropped out of church to ease my mind Still haven't found no Jesus Christ I lost everything that I once had I traded it all for a cigarette now I surround myself with Democrats Republicans and Interdependent Hypocrites I can't tell you who my leader is But I can tell you all about myself I don't believe in leaders I'm not trying to start a war Peace and violence are always knocking on the door I don't have to prove myself To anybody, you, or anyone else Go ahead and pick your side I'll be standing in the middle and I'll do it all over again Maybe they'll float up off the wall

You can be anti abortion You can throw your kid away You could pray to all your problems You could fear they'll never stay But I'm running from the clockworks stuck inside a horrorshow being preached that holy bible sell this man of god your soul for it gets ya into heaven the more money that you give keeps the church open on Sunday teach good morals to your kids so when they grow up they'll be congressmen presidents and priests keep the generations going even when you are deceased oh if i could restart history id do it in three heart beats one for hope and one for love one for angels from above I'd make sure there was never war there would be no need for peace all the animals get liberation every human free and the schools would teach you how to see a life without brutality As the apple on the teacher's desk turns rotten to the core there would be no fascist nations we'd never need a police state If three Heart Beats Were all i ever needed I Would Turn the world around Leave it hanging upside down. But those missiles of democracy Keep Flying from the Sky and you know it's never gonna stop Until the day we die

It's like I'm at the top of a roller coaster That moment of weightless gravity Downward velocity For every arsonist that stood in my way and burnt down bridges before I could well I've been looking for excuses to get out of town cause this town is a prison and prisons are boring but a little bit of good behavior goes a long way get out of jail free cards have been used every day I've danced with the devil but I never held his hand I've been offered plenty of times but I never took the chance Locked down inside of your room in a big empty house at the end of this town smashed windows rocks and molotovs are breaking down inside of my head smashed windows rocks and molotovs are breaking down inside of my head I guess there's no turning back some things were said you know the past is the past

People always tell me I should just keep my mouth shut Cause every time I open it I ruin somebody's luck They tell me not to talk about the war on drugs or politics Anarchy and judgement day members of the NRA Global leaders in their chairs Taxpayers loosing hair Credit cards and corporations Filled with greed built by the rich That's what makes my world spin People always tell me I should just keep my mouth shut Cause every time I open it I ruin somebody's luck They tell me not to talk about Oil spills and off shore drills Countries being torn apart By radioactive nuclear weapons That's what makes my world spin People always tell me I should just keep my mouth shut Cause every time I open it I ruin somebody's luck They tell me not to talk about The protest or the ninety-nine Bombs and cops presidents Prisoners stuck doing time That's what makes my world spin It goes round and round and round

I've got some enemies and friends hanging onto a system with broken down apologies or caught up in technology pushing away connected and tangled until the final cord gets ripped because the world keeps turning at a thousand miles an hour the apocalypse begins when it stops but since the world keeps turning it looks like we're all going to be stuck on this rock I lost my appetite for days I'm well aware it's not healthy woke up on the floor cold thirsty and hungry we're all living the dream but we're dieing the nightmare blowing up and shooting down egos Relationships that I was too afraid to have in the past decisions waited too long to make and all the chances that I didn't take I guess it's insecurity I had a very long day I haven't seen you in a month and if it helps I think I'm doing okay if you say your leaving do yourself a favor please just stay away
12.
You're not gonna build a boat and float on down the river without being stopped by a police officer or a dam you're gonna have to pull it out sooner than expected I really just hope you haven't tried it yet where I'm from the river flows north under bridges built for cars and trains so you can go to work next to highways and all the little towns there's a crackhouse in an ally that's about to be torn down but I don't care cause I don't hang out over there I don't got a pill addiction or a needle in my arm Make me a candidate with power for the people no corruption on the innocent and sees everyone's as equal Bring me a general who basses life off of human rights attacks with peace and never fights or needs a heart of purple show me a soldier with a hammer not a gun just so they can build a house we can destroy when it's all done when it's all done

about

A lot of the songs on this album have been with me for a long time. From Florida to Pennsylvania, I've been playing some of them since 2008. From shows with bands like Mischief Brew, Days N Daze, The Homeless Gospel Choir, Gnarly Whales, Texas Plant, and so much more over the past seven years, I have decided to take on the challenge of touring to the west coast. This is my new beginning. The life we live right now is the only one we know for sure exists, so I'm dealing a new hand and picking up new cards from the deck of life. Thank you to everyone who has been a supporter of my music or might have inspired me over the years. I would love to name each and everyone of you, but I would most likely be in front of this screen for hours, maybe even days.
