can't hold me down
you try to stop me
but you never know where to start
and there's a spring
each drop, part of the mountain
always happens, not for nothing
carve a path now
with the strength of water drops
find the way to fall and nothing could ever hold you down
so throw your weight around
each drop take a little bit wicha
that's the way you carve a mountain
they can't hold us down
they try to stomp us, but they can't see past their feet
and we can spring from underneath
don't act like it never happens
build the pressure, with the strength of water drops
doesn't matter how long cuz, nothing could ever hold us down
we can wait around
each drop, building the pressure
last one in blows the motherfucker
don't act like this never happens

I’m Sad
No real worries to blame it on
Distraction
So I make up a snack and cover it in chocolate
Pack up a bowl and let my mind travel
Pulled up let down then you repeat
Cycle til you’re empty
And fall asleep to dream about it
Even in your dreams?
My dreams are all distracted lately
Each night
something new slowin me down
Why are you running?
I’m trying to get away from something sad
I’m empty
Temporarily
no more drives to satisfy
Anticipation
I go through the calendar see all the empty pages
Look at the charts, nothing is happening
Hopes up hands down til I face facts
I’m never gonna get there
And sadness is the only good response
Everything’s empty
And my future can’t help me baby
This hole
Nothing can pull me out
Diabolically
I’m stuck here in the moment feeling sad
Stand and Take it
Distractions can’t help me baby
This time
Nothing will pull me out
He’s not escaping
I’ll sit here in this moment feeling sad
You turn and face it
I’m done with all the runnin baby
This time
I’m gonna turn it around
And when you see him
I’ll make friends with the thing that makes me sad

We know you murdered our command
Now you prop him up
Show us all how good he compromises
We got our own list of demands
Things he forgot to say
cuz we don't like the weapons raised, the methods used to slay, our fearless leader
hi, wtf
fight against the lies but the facts don't have an effect, we'll have to stand up on our own two legs and say hi
we think the top dogs oughta quit their posts
go fetch your severance pay
we all know how good you earned that money
and we want it carved into a stone
big money won't control how the people live
cuz people see what money do
and people bout to prove
that we can do better
hi, wtf
fight against the greed but the corporations do it so well
we gotta kill em by not feeding them anything else
hi
stand up to the hate while you still got the right to say w.t.f.
fight against the lies but the facts don't have an effect
you'll have to stand up on your own two legs
callin out the hate makes the perpetrator think that they're right
we'll have to teach em when we see em in real life
fight against the greed but the corporations do it so well
we gotta kill em by not feeding them anything else
stand up to the power with numerical strength
we gotta build a wave and get ready to break
fight against the lies
suffocate the greed
cut em down to size by refusing to feed all of the gangsta companies that's fucking with people now
flood into the streets
stand up to the hate
get up in their face with numerical strength
because a wave is building and it's ready to break now

This romance, will it cool
Will fire burn to ash
What winter used to harden, summer only offers up to ocean gods.
Yeah, it'll all soon be gone
Yeah, children we're holding on

how to win

No matter how hard they try
They can’t hold the waters back
Like a wave that has come for the shore
We’re inevitable and when we decide
That we’re fighting for the lives
Of the least of us, then we’ve won
In this land, we have soldiers
To righteously defend
What we killed for and stole not too long ago
So before I decide that I’m owed a better life
I can wonder whose bodies its built upon
No matter how hard you play you will always lose a game
Called exploit everyone who has less than you
And I say when we decide that we’re fighting for the lives
Of the least of use, then we’ve won
For some, there’s no war, one can’t wait to help themselves
And no thought they should spare for the damage done
We’ll find it hard to make them quit
As long as we keep paying them
To provide every spoil that a war can buy
No matter how hard you wage, the spoils go to waste
And the lives you uprooted start dragging on you
And only when we decide to include them in the price
Will the things we buy be enough
There are those who build walls to divide us left and right
For they know that their castles are made of sand
No matter how high they build
They can’t hold the waters back
Like a wave that has come for the shore
We’re inevitable and as we embrace
The smaller lives, we will gain their power and smash
Every wall, and they will fall, freeing all of us
