Rise Above

Hitting rock bottom
Time to turn it around
Screw them
We are all death bound 

	Cherish every free moment
	Keep your head up
	Through this time of adjustment
	In the face of the corrupt

		Break out of the mold you created
		Time for revamping
		Control how you're elated
		To the Past you must stop grasping

			Open your mind
			Pass no judgment
			Then you will find
			Abridgment

				Pooling of fabrication
				Part of deception and deceit
				Hear their indignation
				Struggle when you sleep

					Must overcome the hardships
					Pick up from the start
					No time to worship
					Drifting apart

						Put up or shut up 
						No more talking
						As the future develops
						Dead you are walking

							Now is the time
							Feel the love
							Reaction's enzyme
							RISE ABOVE
