Self-Righteous
This time it's got to change.
I can't give up on my choice,
I can't give up on my life.
This time it's got to change.
I can't give up on my choice,
I can't give up on this right.
You'll continue to fight me,
on every move we make.
You'll continue to fight me,
on every path we take.
Easy for you to say,
you gave up long ago.
Never willing to push through.
The hardships, will push through me
and waste my time.
Observe the broken path,
as which they follow.
This time it's got to change.
I can't give up on my choice,
I can't give up on my life.
This time it's got to change.
I can't give up on my choice,
I can't give up on this right.

Back In The Day
Yeah I’m a wreck
I want to know exactly what you’re thinking
When you watch the
Quicksand rise up
It must be time to tell a story
That should raise your spirits
Remember the days
The lights seemed brighter
We would walk through
The shadows with no fear
I see the light from beneath
The darkness, push through
The fright line
Reach out your hand
To save a life
Expect that hand
To shake and quiver
To hold so much power
Would raise a question
Could you choose to
Save a life
Our whole life may be decided
By one answer
Our whole life should be decided
By our own answers
To life’s grand questions
Somehow its based on
The relevancy of our futures
Remember the days
The lights were brighter
Remember the days
The lights were brighter

Scratch the Surface
The death of me lets you know what its like to be free
The death of me lets you know what its like to be free
It’s what we seek
It’s our fate to be free
You got one chance to be
The winner or the loser
You got one chance to be
On top of the world
Fight this battle
For that sinking feeling you get
When you look into the eyes
Of the free
Wonder what its like to be them
Keep your chin up they say
Time to fight back and take what’s yours
Time to fight back
Regain Stability
It won’t take long
Stay true, stay strong
And be everything
No one asks you to be
Scratch the surface, feel the pain
Scratch the surface, feel the pain
It’s almost done, the journey isn’t long
It’s almost done, the journey isn’t long
Stay True, Stay Strong

Finish Strong
Now I know what to do,
in the face of adversity.
Leave not the mark of,
a distant soul,
trampled by the masses.
This won't be the last time I see your sorry ass.
You're the freak,
the one with the dead end philosophies.
Filtering every movement,
through the holes in our backwards society
You should not rely on the faults of others,
to swerve your judgements,
into the darkness of a lifetime.
I know what to do,
in the face of adversity.
Leave not the mark of,
a distant soul,
trampled by the masses.
Find out what it means to me.
Walk a mile in our shoes.
Trudge through the dirt
Dig through the torment
Wait, wait, for you to catch up.
Why should it be so difficult,
for you to keep up.
Stop draggin' your lazy ass
and keep on moving,
towards the finish line.
It's all you've got left.
Alexander Patrick Johnston:
Finish Strong,
Drive Through,
Finish Strong,
Drive through the torment.
Finish Strong,
Drive Through,
Finish Strong,
Drive through the torment.

Home Is Where The Helm Is
Push through the guards
Why does it seem to be the only
To have what’s ours
I don’t believe the tragedy
That has come from within ourselves
Monsters have arrived for the final time
Before they consume every last piece of dignity
It roams and you fail, to find the truth
The monsters will put up a good fight this time
We’ll take the fight
To bend the feeling of dark to light
Dispute will only force
The less evolved to want more
What is wanting more
Is it worth the wasteful decent of the crowd
Upon a wounded nation
You feel a chance to overcome
What haunts you
Where no one
Can diminish your life
Stand up
Stand up
Now you know that
You have become your own enemy
When you’re that close to hell
Bet you wish you had it differently
Monsters have arrived for the final time
Before they consume every last piece of dignity
It roams and you fail, to find the truth
This time
