lyrics

We're at the front of an army
This is not a message from me
We're at the front of an army
This is not something of me

A fight not of flesh and blood
But a fight of a greater kind
A place I thought I'd never find
A place where I've found my mind

This is not conscription
This is not conformity
This is the war against suffocation
This is my reality

And I won't sell my soul, they're pretty much insane
I'm breaking down these walls, I know I'm not the same
And I can see that I have changed
Their deception in disguise won't be my demise

The weight of the world won't hold us back
Living love will cement over the cracks
And pave the way for a new generation

It's not something of me
We've all been born into a world
That pushes us to the front lines
Of a war waged within the mind
And I know it has seen me fall to my knees
Thinking I wouldn't get back up or move at all
But can't you see?
This new found cause has become everything to me

And I won't sell my soul, they're pretty much insane
I'm breaking down these walls, I know I'm not the same
And I can see that I have changed
Their deception in disguise won't be my demise

Fight off these demons

Give me the strength to act this way
To live out these things that you say
And bring this depression to an end

Amazing songs,KSE lyrics helps me a lot,i lost my father recently(2020). The time where i was really close with him was in summer 2007 and i listened a lot to ADD Album at the time. So hearing KSE always reminds me of him,r.i.p. Jesse leach is an amazing vocalist and lyricist,howard too. love 'em both. Adam is a genius period. Mike's an amazing drawer/artist and bass player. Joel and justin are rythm legends,scott (old drummer i think)was a beast too. God bless you KSE cheers from France thejusticemetalsword
