Stop and take a look read between the lines
You'll see the world and all its lies
Everything and everyone is not as they seem
Out for themselves bathing in greed
Pictures and images are faded by the sun
Sand in the glass is pouring down
Messages of memories are crooked on the wall
Poorly chosen no meaning at all
Don't let your dreams interfere with reality
They don't taste the sweat, They know no regret
When it comes crashing down, They won't be around
We get knocked down perseverance gets us up
The test of a real man is to get back up
We still bleed
Leaves to ash and skin to bone
We still bleed on our own
We still bleed
Silence these voices so we will be heard
Exaggeration is a play on words
Every time we look around its just getting older
Don't accept or forget it
We're just left over and starving for hunger
Patience a beast we go no time for
Falling prey to wasted words without any substance
They don't follow through they're eating at you
We won't give in....We won't lay down....Watch Us Rise
Rise, Rise, Rise, Watch Us Rise, Rise, Rise, Rise
Watch us fucking rise....That's right
The will possesses the drive
Its inside all of us
Passion eliminates our fear
Its inside all of us
Set your own goals and oppose all the criticism
We are all free to challenge the skeptic mind
Just Rise, Rise, Rise, Rise
