Fortitude 01:18
lyrics
I'm here to conquer strong on my feet I'm not the kind that you'll defeat I've seen it all I've suffered a lot Now I'm giving life my best shot

The Lowdown 03:02
lyrics
There was a time about a year ago I hit the bottom was at a low It's in my mind my thoughts everyday all the mistakes I made The wrong people the wrong crowd everyday getting pulled further down It was the worst year of my life I don't know how I survived Running with a sheep, playing with a wolf Spending dollars in my sleep, I thought I'd reached defeat Managed to get played, Get punk'd, Made to feel like a fool Always coping the blame, Now look at the outcome Sure I may have been young, I may have made bad choices But I feel like I've won, I'm the one that's successful Though I may have been young, I may have made bad choices But I feel like I've won, I'm the one that's successful I got far away from there from the life I couldn't bare I conquered my fears, Now I'm fearless I bounced right back, It was time to get out, It was time to get back on track, It was time to live This is the lowdown These words roll off my tongue, I've loved lost I'm not the defeated one I'm still here my footings still strong, I will survive. I'm still here I'm still strong I've got the strength to carry on I'm still here I'm still strong I've got the strength to move on I'm still here I'm still strong I've got the strength to carry on I'm still here I'm still strong I've got the strength to move on I still survived, Life's back on track, I'm moving forward and I will never look back

Corporate Greed 03:16
lyrics
Here we go, Here we go again, Here we fucking go again New faces new tricks same lies same kicks Here we go, Here we go again, Here we fucking go again New faces new tricks same lies same kicks It's always the same, It's never going to change We fill their pockets, Blacking out our names Putting good will in a payroll filled with greed Hope against hope we'll get what we need Not realising they'll never follow through Tell me where you stand which side are you Which side are you? Raise your voice but just make sure you're singing their song and locking your door, Raise your voice but not to loud don't want to break out of the crowd It's always the same, We fill their pockets, Blacking out our names Time after time after god damn time, The same line same fucking punch line, Left or right you'll meet in the middle, That's where the damage is done. Time after time after god damn time, The same line same fucking punch line, Left or right you'll meet in the middle, That's where the damage is done. It's time to wake up cause this record is broken It's been playing the same song for way too long It's time to wake up cause this record is broken It's been playing the same song for way too long Way too long Turn a blind eye and we'll batten down the hatch Lock the doors bar the windows rebellions in the air Independent and fully aware Leave a life that's just and fair

Unrelieved 03:28
lyrics
I can't work out what's wrong with me struggling to get through each day I'm so god damn miserable over everything I lead life with the biggest stride Positivity flows through my mind But somehow the smallest of things completely destroy me Get out of my mind, I just want to be happy Get out of my mind, Let me live It feel's like I've got depression, It's getting worse night after night Not to mention the anxiety, This is one hell of a fight It feel's like I've got depression, It's getting worse night after night Not to mention the anxiety, This is one hell of a fight I lead life with the biggest stride Positivity flows through my mind But somehow the smallest of things completely destroy me Get out of my mind, I just want to be happy Get out of my mind, Let me live Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Get out Unshakable Dead in the water treading on thin ice Sinking through quick sand running blind in an endless night It feel's like I've got depression, It's getting worse night after night Not to mention the anxiety, This is one hell of a fight It feel's like I've got depression, It's getting worse night after night Not to mention the anxiety, This is one hell of a fight

Time Turner 02:52
lyrics
I've been grinding the nine till five, Just trying to stay alive All the while feeling dead inside, It's a killer of the mind Of the heart how can I survive, That which stems my flow and crushes my pride, Faceless your just a number just a hired gun They just wait for you to stumble, Then the hammer falls All that you've built, It's time to watch it crumble They just wait for you to stumble, Then the hammer falls All that you've built, It's time to watch it crumble I just want to break out, Breakout stand up and shout Scream and scream this will not break me I just want to break out, Breakout stand up and shout Scream and scream this will not break me You think your able to control me but your authority means squat I'm quite happy to leave so you can try and fill my spot You think your able to control me but your authority means squat I'm quite happy to leave so you can try and fill my spot You wont control me I wont conform You wont control me I wont conform You wont control me I wont conform You wont control me I wont conform

Victim/Strength 02:58
lyrics
Don't ever think you've got nowhere to go, That your life is over you've reached your low Don't ever think you've got nowhere to go that you should give up or give in I've been there, I know what it's like The battle's inside your mind You want to give up Let your mind win But you are stronger than you truly think You want to give up Let your mind win But you are stronger than you truly think Don't ever think you've got nowhere to go, That your life is over you've reached your low Don't ever think you've got nowhere to go that you should give up or give in You go to school and you get heckled up front Your straight up miserable All the kinds think they're fucking tough For pulling you down for thinking they're top You don't know what to do You think you can't go on You don't know what to do Your done Pick yourself up, get back on your feet You know your stronger than them, You can't be beat Challenge yourself and the tricks in your mind You can finally be happy enjoy your life Moral of this is that you shouldn't give in, Life is a gift such a beautiful thing. You've got your friends and family by your side, You'll spend the rest of your years up on a high Pick yourself up Get on your feet Challenge yourself You wont be beat Pick yourself up Get on your feet Challenge yourself You wont be beat Don't ever think you've got nowhere to go that your life is over you've reached your low.
