Words and music by Nolan Randall Grinding out and I'm almost done With just a couple left to make it complete Gonna ride 'til the race is run I know that finishing would be quite a feat Said goodbye to my social life I knew a little time off wouldn't hurt me Because this dog has a ton of fight After all, I'm on a mission of mercy Only thing on my mind right now Is that I'm willing to go the distance Who, what, where, when, and why or how The only way is to go the distance Look for something for what it's worth And try to make it into what you believe Rites of passage starting from birth From what you want to what you're gonna achieve Many people think I'm not there It seems that what I'm doing is depressing Leaping over top every stair We just might see who will be second guessing Only thing on my mind right now Is that I'm willing to go the distance Who, what, where, when, and why or how The only way is to go the distance Making up as I go along Don't wanna leave anything understated Taking what I can from each song The only way they're gonna be created Only thing on my mind right now Is that I'm willing to go the distance Who, what, where, when, and why or how The only way is to go the distance Only thing on my mind right now Is that I'm willing to go the distance Who, what, where, when, and why or how The only way is to go the distance

Maybe 05:01
Words and music by Nolan Randall Thought you might reciprocate your alternate affairs Somebody else, somebody else Looking for the answers in the desert of the sun You've come so far, you've come so far Doesn't matter if we're early or late Feel the pressure when you carry the weight Dig a hole in front of the garden gate And you're trying to avoid the things you haven't planned, where we began Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Ew-whoa-ew-whoa-ew-whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Ew-whoa-ew-whoa-ew-whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Ew-whoa-ew-whoa-ew-whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Ew-whoa-ew-whoa-ew-whoa-oh Maybe it's something that you are Maybe it's close to feeling far Maybe we look like we are through Maybe we thought more than we knew Maybe you just need a place where nothing's typical Where have you gone? Where have you gone? Never thought you'd settle for less than what you bargained for Don't be afraid, don't be afraid Doesn't matter if we're early or late Feel the pressure when you carry the weight Dig a hole in front of the garden gate And you're trying to avoid the things you haven't planned, where we began Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Ew-whoa-ew-whoa-ew-whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Ew-whoa-ew-whoa-ew-whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Ew-whoa-ew-whoa-ew-whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Ew-whoa-ew-whoa-ew-whoa-oh Maybe you're falling out of grace Maybe your fears are out of place Maybe the people are the same Maybe they are what we became Doesn't matter if we're early or late Feel the pressure when you carry the weight Dig a hole in front of the garden gate And you're trying to avoid the things you haven't planned, where we began Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Ew-whoa-ew-whoa-ew-whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Ew-whoa-ew-whoa-ew-whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Ew-whoa-ew-whoa-ew-whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Ew-whoa-ew-whoa-ew-whoa-oh Maybe it's something that you are Maybe it's close to feeling far Maybe the people are the same Maybe they are what we became Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Ew-whoa-ew-whoa-ew-whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Ew-whoa-ew-whoa-ew-whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Ew-whoa-ew-whoa-ew-whoa-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Ew-whoa-ew-whoa-ew-whoa-oh

Rising Above 03:58
Words and music by Nolan Randall We walked away from a messy situation Our minds are filled with ghosts We fall apart while there's nothing left to mention Our feet are on the coast Is there another way to find exactly what we're looking for? Is there a reason why we can't ignore while no one's keeping score? It's all a matter of your destination The feeling of some kind of love It doesn't matter if you leave the station The feeling of rising above We're on a journey that seems like it's never-ending Our fears, they interfere We're always spending a lot of time comprehending Our fate will reappear Are we another estimation they can't get a hold of? Are we to act upon the things we desire? So we keep rising above? It's all a matter of your destination Something is not what it was It doesn't matter if you leave the station The feeling of rising above Rising above, rising above, we're all just rising above Rising above, rising above, we're all just rising above Rising above, rising above, we're all just rising above Rising above, rising above, we're all just rising above

Words and music by Nolan Randall Battle going on out in the field Weaknesses are shown, they are revealed Several men are going to engage What they don’t see, they are on a stage Justice is gone, prepare for the Siege of Megiddo It won’t take long, beware of the Siege of Megiddo Dangerously armed, what is the deal? Bow before your god if you don’t kneel Grimacing the likes of golden age What is this that causes so much rage? Justice is gone, prepare for the Siege of Megiddo It won’t be long, beware of the Siege of Megiddo The blood that’s lost is the cost An enemy across sea To be alive is the drive We’re on the Siege of Megiddo So much love is given to a weapon Something happened on the way to heaven War is over with all this destruction Don’t forget, it’s all an introduction Justice is gone, prepare for the Siege of Megiddo It won’t take long, beware of the Siege of Megiddo Justice is gone, prepare for the Siege of Megiddo It won’t be long, beware of the Siege of Megiddo

Words and music by Nolan Randall It’s time to realize our destiny Can’t help but wonder what the next could be We take a leap of faith to get somewhere Nobody’s ever gonna really care The universe has a mind of it’s own We want to go and reap what we have sown There’s more to what we haven’t figured out It takes a lot to know what it’s about I’ll do anything I want, and I’m feeling no regrets Keeping an eye on the world by my side And I’m feeling no regrets Why can’t we all go and appreciate? That way we won’t have to reiterate What are we fighting for when nothing’s right? We have to give everything all our might Figuring out where you are going to The only way you’re gonna make it through We have to work the job until it’s done But after that we’re gonna have some fun I’ll do anything I want, and I’m feeling no regrets Keeping an eye on the world by my side And I’m feeling no regrets I’ll do anything I want, and I’m feeling no regrets Keeping an eye on the world by my side And I’m feeling no regrets Keeping an eye on the world by my side And I’m feeling no regrets Keeping an eye on the world by my side And I’m feeling no regrets Keeping an eye on the world by my side And I’m feeling no regrets Keeping an eye on the world by my side And I’m feeling no regrets Let’s fall into an unfamiliar place Regardless of the fears we cannot face Is there a point in even giving up? There’s certain doors that we might wanna shut Don’t even think about what people say Some of them want to throw it all away As long as you look out for number one There is no way you’re gonna come undun I’ll do anything I want, and I’m feeling no regrets Keeping an eye on the world by my side And I’m feeling no regrets I’ll do anything I want, and I’m feeling no regrets Keeping an eye on the world by my side And I’m feeling no regrets Keeping an eye, an eye for an eye And I’m feeling no regrets Keeping an eye on the world by my side And I’m feeling no regrets

What's Real 03:43
Words and music by Nolan Randall Take home everything you wanted And see where it will go Moral codes are never haunted As far as you will know Places to remind us of what's real First you lie, and then you try to steal Try to hide, there's nothing to conceal Places to remind us of what's real You wake up from a dream you had And realized so well Life is an illusion of bad You've come to break the spell Places to remind us of what's real Every scar in time is gonna heal Dream about your life if it's ideal Places to remind us of what's real All the obscure things you've seen now Are what's expected here Place a bet on things you allow And never shed a tear Places to remind us of what's real First you lie and then you try to steal Dream about your life if it's ideal Places to remind us of what's real
