Pay your fucking dues, for a life that was taken Pay your fucking dues, to a world that is breaking Pay your fucking dues, a never ending excuse To keep us playing a game that only works when we all lose We wake up in this hole Pay your fucking dues, for a life that was taken Pay your fucking dues, to a world that is breaking Pay your fucking dues, continue the abuse Another endless maze, a dead end that they let you choose We wake up in this hole Burn! Burn it to the ground, we win this pound for pound Road not taken Vacant buildings sleep, we're living in the streets Road not taken Addresses keep burning when they're worth more than a person Road not taken When it's running at full speed the working class will bleed Road not taken

Side By Side 03:21
In step this mess will finally end One breath the death of all of this There is nothing left to break Leave this broken place to waste Never above, never below, by your side- we live as one Never above, never below, by your side- we've just begun We're born into this legacy A stain that can't be cleaned We can't run from destiny A poison, our disease When someone falls we pick them up As all, not one, we overcome In step the threat loses control In mass the last empire unfolds There is nothing left to break Leave this broken place to waste Never above, never below, by your side- we live as one Never above, never below, by your side- we've just begun We're born into this legacy A stain that can't be cleaned We can't run from destiny A poison, our disease When someone falls we pick them up As all, not one, we overcome We stand our ground To tomorrow leave the past to them We stand our ground Where we're going not where we've been Side by side we rise above Side by side we overcome

In the Dark 05:22
When it's time, time for me to go away When I die, do I leave this place the same Everything that's taken a piece of me Everyone I can no longer see I'll leave with you I'm leaving with you I can not eat, I can not think, if I don't know you I am not me, lost in debris, if I don't know you There's no end, we're not in You and me 'till death we bleed Alone as one This life unseen When the blaze flickers and loses the fight When the day burns and takes away the light Everything that's taken a piece of me Everyone I can no longer see I'll leave with you I'm leaving with you I can not sleep, I can not breathe, if I don't know you I am not me, choking beneath, if I don't know you There's no end, we're not in You and me 'till death we bleed Alone as one This life unseen Every day like it is the last Every day like this all could pass Knowing nothing is forever Life's a failure This can not last Every day like this all could pass Knowing nothing is forever Life's a failure Everyone will finally lose Life's only one absolute Floating on emptiness Getting lost without regret
