I dont know even know where I'm going
Why am I so fucking lonely
Wake up, with the seeds im sowing
Get up, sing this testimony
You need to stand up
Need to erupt
Gotta be in the fight
Call bullshit on sight
When I see you outside
Let me hear ya
Let me hear ya
This is my testimony
This is my testimony
Society is for the wealthy
Power structure. Status quo
Watcha gonna do to change it?
Watcha gonna?
Gonna do to change it?
Recognizing other strife
Live a conscious life
Can I do more?
I know I can
Never stop pushin'
Moving forward
Pausing at the shore
Watchin' the boats sail
Go, explore!
Sing your testimony
Pausing at the shore
Watchin' the boats sail
Go, explore!
Sing your testimony
This is my testimony
This is my testimony
This is my testimony
This is my testimony
Pausing at the shore
Watchin' the boats sail
Go, explore!
Sing your testimony
Pausing at the shore
Watchin' the boats sail
Go, explore!
Sing your testimony

Getting up 1 again
This is where their life has led
All they see is bad
Why is life like this
How long has it been
Since the breeze felt nice
Season after season
Leaves never change,
Colors stay the same
Each day walkin' by
The lake shoreline
You deserve to live not work to die
Stop and smell the
Stop and smell the
Lakefront Lillies (Lakefront Lillies)
Lakefront Lillies (Lakefront Lillies)
Lakefront Lillies (Lakefront Lillies)
Lakefront Lillies (Lakefront Lillies)
Growin' hope here and there
Take a breath now anywhere
Never let the depths
Take from whats above
Always search life
For at least one thing
Gets you up at dawn
Everyday a step
Colors change with time
Each day lookin' to
The lake shoreline
You deserve to live not work to die
Stop and smell the
Stop and smell the
Lakefront Lillies (Lakefront Lillies)
Lakefront Lillies (Lakefront Lillies)
Lakefront Lillies (Lakefront Lillies)
Go out find
your space
Your people
You say I’ve tried
I say try again
Lakefront Lillies
You deserve to live not work to die
Lakefront Lillies
You can start now
Go outside
And find your shoreline

Playin' the game of life, I needed a cheat code
Feelin' like my character sucks, but I could never pick a new one
My life’s a mess I cant keep straight
Taking bets on the thoughts racing in my head
I dont know
When It will
Stop but I
Know I Wont
Stop Not Now
When I
have come
So Far
Hopeful theres a benefit to my birth
Searchin' for my scene somewhere on this earth
Doubt writhing all around my brain
Anxiety wont quiet me
Depression suppression
The game has changed but I’m getting better
I dont know
When It will
Stop but I
Know I Wont
Stop Not Now
When I
have come
So Far
I dont know
When It will
Stop but I
Know I Wont
Stop Not Now
When I
have come
So Far
I will strive
I will try
Cuz I dont think that I deserve this happiness
All of this
I dont know
When It will
Stop but I
Know I Wont
Stop Not Now
When I
have come
So Far
I dont know
When It will
Stop but I
Know I Wont
Stop Not Now
When I
have come
So Far
I think that I might deserve this happiness
All of this

I have a question for those present tonight
Who died and made us king?
Sitting on piles of wealth atop bones
Bones of disenfranchised people
How the fuck can you sleep at night?
Waking, slandering humans asking for rights
You Speak: “Progressing past systemic slavery takes time!”
A step in the right direction each year
Will take centuries to walk a mile
Progress is not enough
“Progress” placates shouting voices
“Progress” appeases protesting after leaders become martyrs
America was founded by stealing rights
America’s foundation can never be right
America is still enslaving and stealing rights
America is still waiting on progress
We need to listen and learn to follow
Learn to follow
Learn to follow

Sunrise introduced me to someone
They would one day change everything
To them I run and I will
Catch my breath with
You right here
Sunset introduced me to their laugh
It would one day fill everything
Their dreams leave me breathless
Catch my breath with
You right here and now
Moonlight introduced us closer yet
Those moments, they were everything
Walking hand in hand to
Catch my breath with
You right here and now
Sunrise introduces them every day
No doubt that they’ve changed everything
Always remember: Stop and
Catch my breath with you right here and now
I want the longest forever
Everytime
But it's the shortest now
Everytime
I want the longest forever
Everytime
But it's the shortest now
Everytime
I want the longest forever
Everytime
But it's the shortest now
Everytime

Slowly
Building
The courage to be myself
Tidal waves of doubt, they come
Crashing
Finding
A channel to the shoreline
Stand on the sand guide me in
I want to hear you find reason
As light fades, so do my spirits
Everytime, gone! Water rising now
Tidal waves, crash!
You want to see me lose reason
As tides lie, you are sinking
Everytime, gone! Water rises now
Tidal waves, crash!
(instrumental Bridge)
Progress will never come fast enough to make me happy
Self doubt can only be drowned out by the compliments of others
Find it hard to finish stop, say that I am satisfied
Everrising guilty tide no way to stay dry
No way to stay dry
No way to stay dry
