Melodies

(album: The Ascent - 2012)

What are you waiting for?
Why won't you make a sound?
Boy don't you hold back
Son don't you slow down
Your family sings melodies
Why won't you listen boy?
Your family sings melodies
Why won't you listen boy?

Try to remember
The guilt will never go
You already know
I'm not the first to say
The world is yours to hold
Why wont you fight?
Why wont you make this right?
Put up your fists
Take back your fucking life

Now is the time to get up
And change your life

What are you waiting for?
Why won't you make a sound?
Boy don't you hold back
Son don't you slow down
Your family sings melodies
Why won't you listen boy?
Your family sings melodies
Why won't you listen boy?

Full speed ahead
If you trip, life's a bitch
So get up and do it again
I wouldn't say to leave your dreams at bay
Why wont you fight?
Why wont you make this right?
Put up your fists
Take back your fucking life

Now is the time to get up
And change your life

What are you waiting for?
Why won't you make a sound?
Boy don't you hold back
Son don't you slow down
Your family sings melodies
Why won't you listen boy?
Your family sings melodies
Why won't you listen boy?

This is in my bones
This is the only way I feel at home
I wont let go, it's all I know

Your family sings melodies
Why won't you listen boy?
