A Matter of Time

I wake up to another rising Sun Already feeling like the day is done I can't shake this weight Another chance for us to save the day But those in charge keep pushing us away Are we just too late? Why...do you close your eyes? Why...do you speak your lies? And I cry Moving through another wasted day Our future quickly vanishing away We ignore the proof Going backwards as we move ahead How do we let ourselves get so misled? Who will stand for truth? Why...do you close your eyes? Why...do you speak your lies? And I cry What a time to be alive right now Just hoping to survive again somehow Even with the darkness in our way The time is now for truth to win the day What a time to be alive right now Just hoping to survive again somehow The future is still ours if we just fight We only have to choose to see the light See the light What a time to be alive right now Just hoping to survive again somehow Even with the darkness in our way The time is now for truth to win the day What a time to be alive right now Just hoping to survive again somehow The future is still ours if we just fight We only have to choose to see the light What a time to be alive right now (What a time to be alive) Just hoping to survive again somehow (Be alive) Even with the darkness in our way (Be alive) The time is now for truth to win the day

I know what you're thinking I know your pretense But I won't subscribe To your world of nonsense You may think you're right But your thinking is flawed Your vision is blinded Your feelings unthawed The world keeps on passing you by But you refuse to let go Of some sense of values imagined From a long time ago From a long time ago You talk about freedom But that is not true You want to subject us To your point of view Just go live your life And just let me live mine Get over yourself And stop wasting our time The world isn't yours to lord over We all have to share So stop looking out for yourself And...try starting to care Try starting to care Why don't you care? Why don't you care? It's time to speak up and it's time to cry out Your way of the world is not what life's about We all need to live and that's where we're the same But we're not some pawns that you play in your game The things that you say drive me out of my mind Stop with your bullshit, get back into line Your thinking's not right Your logic is flawed Your vision is blinded Your feeling's unthawed Just go live your life And I'll go live mine Stop fucking around And stop wasting our time The world keeps on passing you by But you refuse to let go Of some sense of values imagined From a long time ago From a long time ago The world isn't yours to lord over We all have to share So stop looking out for yourself And...try starting to care Try starting to care The world keeps on passing you by But you refuse to let go Of some sense of values imagined From a long time ago From a long time ago

Years Go By 04:13
Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh Find yourself on memory lane, see faces from your past Remember them like yesterday How did time fly by so fast? You see them in your memories, you see them in your dreams But nothing's as it was back then Nothing's ever as it seems Years go by in your mind Years go by in the blink of an eye Arrive at your reunion and you start to reconnect Lost friends and loves and memories Regale in retrospect Celebrate the times you shared as the moment takes you back But know the past is not today you can't escape the fact... Years go by in your mind Years go by in the blink of an eye Years go by in your mind Years go by it's a matter of time Years go by Years go by Years go by Years go by It's a matter of time It moves along on a line The past is left behind in the blink of an eye Years go by it's a matter of time Years go by in the blink of an eye Years go by it's a matter of time Years go by in the blink of an eye Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh

Look all around you and see what's at stake. A movement is coming which side will you take? Battle injustice or stay on the side? Will you stand up and fight or will you just run and hide Take a look at yourself Are you doing anything that can help? Take a look in your heart It's time that you start doing your part Life's not worth living if you don't take a stand and champion the causes of your fellow man Your apathy's weakness Your silence a joke How can you sit there when the system is broke? Time to wake up your mind and lay it on the line Gotta lay it on the line How can you keep saying that nothing is wrong when what's come to light has been like this all along The shield has been broken the trust is betrayed Lives have been stolen by the system we made Take a look at yourself Are you doing anything that can help? Take a look in your heart It's time that you start doing your part Life's not worth living if you don't take a stand and champion the causes of your fellow man Your apathy's weakness Your silence a joke How can you sit there when the system is broke? Time to wake up your mind and lay it on the line Gotta lay it on the line (It's time to wake up and understand) Now is the time (It's time to support your fellow 'man) For us to understand (It's time to step up and do what's right) (It's time to get up and join the fight) (It's time to wake up and understand) We must unite (It's time to support your fellow 'man) As one common 'man (It's time to step up and do what's right) (It's time to get up and join the fight) Take a stand Take a look at yourself Are you doing anything that can help? Take a look in your heart It's time that you start doing your part Life's not worth living if you don't take a stand and champion the causes of your fellow man Your apathy's weakness Your silence a joke How can you sit there when the system is broke? Time to wake up your mind and lay it on the line Gotta lay it on the line

I see the walls are closing in and I reach out for your hand I pull you closer as I try to think of some kind of plan We start to run, but then I look at you and think otherwise This battle’s not about retreating, but our will to survive What must I do to make things right? What can we do to win this fight? It’s down to you and me The world keeps swinging and it’s landing blows that cut to the heart With every shot we take it feels as if we’re pulling apart I take your hand and beg that you will be right there by my side There is no other way to win no other way to survive What must I do to make things right? What can we do to win this fight? Right here and now It’s time to take a stand I’ll fight for you Hand in hand, we battle together It’s down to you and me The walls keep closing in it seems the world has got us ensnared But we stand our ground as we defend this life we have shared With our resolve, we get ready to launch a counterattack To claim our life, our love, our liberty our dignity back What must I do to make things right? What can we do to win this fight? Right here and now It’s time to take a stand I’ll fight for you Hand in hand, we battle together Right here and now We lay it on the line I’ll fight for you Stand or fall, we’re in it together Forever and ever... It’s you and me against the world It’s you and me against the world It’s you and me against the world It’s you and me against the world We’re gonna stand our ground It’s you and me against the world It’s time to fight, it’s time to lay it all on the line It’s you and me against the world We’re gonna take them on, we’re gonna take them down It’s you and me against the world Now that we’re united, we’ll never be divided again It’s you and me against the world Nothing’s gonna stop us, nothing’s gonna stop us now It’s you and me against the world It’s time to fight, it’s time to lay it all on the line It’s you and me against the world We’re gonna take them on, we’re gonna take them down It’s you and me against the world Nothing’s gonna stop us, nothing’s gonna stop us now It’s you and me against the world It’s down to you and me

A pure DIY project, the songs were cleaned up as best as they could and assembled for this EP.
