Testimony 02:44
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

Blackjack 03:23
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

Listen 02:44
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

Breathless 03:15
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

Kawabunga 03:10
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
