WAKE UP 03:36
All we are is all we are and all we’ll ever be and looking for an answer isn’t what it means to see so wake up wake up shortening attention weakening beliefs So give it up for giving up don’t question what it means to live without inquiry to swallow what is fed while letting go the climbing rope, complacent till the end We’re all one, of a billion more Standing there, safe in line, tepidly and bored so wake up just wake up it’s the calling you’re surrounded so wake up If change is a religion then faith is what we need to live without an ounce of doubt or validations plea so remove yourself from the billion more standing there safe in line tepidly and bored So wake up just wake up It’s the calling you’re surrounded So wake up So gather up the precious things and throw them in the wind cause all in all this game we play is a toss up in the end so just wake up So wake up just wake up It’s the calling you’re surrounded So wake up

Couldn’t speak of a need for an ending Couldn’t dream of the journey impending Disbelief, within grief but pretending It gets better It gets better Hesitate at the gates of the pass through Memories, on a screen being reviewed Finding out, every doubt - reading the truth From this letter, this death letter Living another agenda Passively an offender Living another agenda The last call How will I follow? Dying a frantic believer Dying a frantic believer Without time, do you lie in the rapture? Or has the light flickered out ever after? Without a cure, we unsure keep lamenting it’s not better, it’s not better Living another agenda Passively an offender Living another agenda The last call how will I follow? Dying a frantic believer Dying a frantic believer In the end, the clock is unfolding… we’re comfortable with nothing or we’re anxiously, coming clean, hoping that you’re pleased by what you see The last call how will I follow? Dying a frantic believer Dying a frantic believer

STAY WITH US 03:59
Flew too high to come down again to go back again Escapist mind from this masquerade let the colors slowly fade Don’t throw it away, it’s a mistake Life left unknown There’s no reason Why you’re leaving us For cold hands and envelopes It’s no secret, just give it time to change your mind from giving up Cold hands and envelopes It’s no secret, just stay with us It’s alright to second guess, so put your mind to rest Days go by - decide To push away the pain, start building up again There’s no reason Why you’re leaving us For cold hands and envelopes It’s no secret, just give it time to change your mind from giving up Cold hands and envelopes It’s not worth it, just stay with us

COME ALIVE 05:01
The disease of the band of vultures Starts within from the faint of hope Giving in to the veiled imploring this way, look this way we keep buying it, we keep buying it, we keep buying it we keep buying it Everywhere, all around they’re pushing Breaking in, disguised in gold playing the voice of sanity and control they always say Quiet down, shut your mouth you might shake something keep what you need, what you bleed from the light of day “It’s ok,” to look the other way “It’s ok,” to keep your mind at bay …But it’s not right So will you come alive if all around you it’s out of sight & out of mind? don’t follow that road, there’s no hope so will you come alive, come alive? We all have a choice stay quiet or lose our voices they always say Quiet down, shut your mouth you might shake something keep what you need, what you bleed from the light of day “It’s ok,” to look the other way “It’s ok,” to keep your mind at bay It’s not right So will you come alive if all around you it’s out of sight & out of mind? don’t follow that road, there’s no hope so will you come alive, come alive? We are the sickness within the culture of keeping peace within fallacies around the world, you can hear the vultures circling their own prophecy they will destroy, destroy (live a lie) they will destroy, destroy So will you come alive if all around you it’s out of sight & out of mind? don’t follow that road, there’s no hope so will you come alive, come alive?

RIGHT NOW 03:47
Look to the right Look to the left everyone is searching how, how to pin down why strife, is a recurring word and why living by a noble cause won’t heed what they deserve Right now Right now And what if you’re wrong and there isn’t forgiveness No matter the cause there just isn’t forgiveness So beware of the snake in the garden and you should, you should beware of the offer of pardon now It’s all a skeptical production, so hold your tongue Living for miracles seduction won’t change what’s wrong right now If that’s the truth and there’s no reprieve Will you be the captain or the prisoner of the ailments to come? Right now? are you forgiven Right now? And what if you’re wrong and there isn’t forgiveness No matter the cause there just isn’t forgiveness So beware of the snake in the garden and you should, you should beware of the offer of pardon now It’s all a skeptical production, so hold your tongue Living for miracles seduction won’t change what’s wrong right now Are you living, can you live, are you living yet? Are you living, can you live, are you living yet? Are you living, can you live, are you living yet? Beware of the snake in the garden and you should, you should beware of the offer of pardon now It’s all a skeptical production, so hold your tongue Living for miracles seduction won’t change what’s wrong right now

Get up, tired and weary This feeling has no back story it comes again in the morning out of the depths without warning Throughout the day, missing color Black and grey, vision is smothered I guess I’ll wait, till the morning But hoping for change gets so boring I can never see Why this keeps happening to me It’s as if, digging through my mind Is something that I regret with every breath and don’t know why So follow follow the haze peculiar mechanical days, seem familiar It’s clogging up my veins, and piling on the weight I’m hoping to find the answer why it comes again without warning the sudden change in the morning I can never see Why this keeps happening to me It’s as if, digging through my mind Is something that I regret with every breath and don’t know why Looking for a reason why something doesn’t feel right I’ve been down this road many times getting closer to the other side closer I know I’ll be fine this time it’s alright

HOLLOW 05:36
Always letting go While we can’t afford to keep Our heads buried in the sand, while the tide is rising With attention blown by constantly consuming We’re blind under the sand, while the days are breaking Hollow The days are breaking Hollow The truth is failing Can we recognize when the megaphone is aligned to feed us overtime, and keep our minds from questions Lets dig out from this, it’s all counterfeit They’ll keep piling on the sand, but we can stand above it Hollow The days are breaking Hollow The days are breaking Hollow What’s real is fading Hollow The truth is failing Time’s always wasted Time’s always wasted Time’s always wasted In lives that are wasted It’s time we’ve forsaken The practice of wasting our time Hollow The days are breaking Hollow The days are breaking Hollow What’s real is fading Hollow The truth is failing
8.
Out of breath Senseless Grinding our teeth until there’s nothing left Indifferent Privilege Held up as guard There’s gotta be something else Never never never call out the truth Push it far away from us Forever wallowing through from afar Don’t try to hide on the blind side it’s knocking - knocking your door Knocking at your door It’s heartless at best Turning cheek until there’s no one left Never never never call out the truth Push it far away from us Forever wallowing through from afar Don’t try to hide on the blind side It’s knocking - knocking your door Knocking at your door
9.
Hung up On life and living right back then that meant goodbye Dismissing all the signs That everything’s in line Never cared enough So I let, you, go I’m sorry - to hang you out to dry While searching for reasons - why I’m retreating every time when everything is fine Never cared enough Always pushing back So how’d you, know I’d come around When I, let, you, go? Know I’ll never know, know I’ll never know the right way to live Coming up the road, all I’ll ever know is what I can give to you Always, never let you down Stolen time, but you knew somehow We carried on, with our hands tied down And I’ll never let you go

SHUT IT DOWN 06:04
Shadowed, covered up Never thought it could Shuttered without a trace, underneath But go further, further down the heart of greed Chip away, let it all bleed out Though falling away is a tragedy I’m stuck with the feeling it’s how it’s meant to be… Swollen to the teeth tangled in deceit - don’t need it Disconnected needs Severing, severing leaving out the meaning of it all Where do we go now? When knowing’s not enough to shut it down Never ending running thin - don’t need it Buried underneath Threatening, threatening, pointing out the meaning of it all Are you better? Are you better for it? Where do we go now? When knowing’s not enough to shut it down Are you better without it? Where do we go now? When knowing’s not enough to shut it down

Empower students from underserved communities to graduate from college.

College Track recruits students from underserved communities and works continuously with them from the summer before ninth grade through college graduation. Our ten-year program removes the barriers that prevent students from earning their college degree by providing them with comprehensive academic support, leadership training, financial and college advising, and scholarships. We teach our students the skills necessary to succeed in college and beyond.

What matters most, for young adults to build a successful future, is a college degree. College graduates are 2 times more likely to be employed and they earn 1.6 times more than high school graduates. They are more likely to be productive, participating members of society, being 2 times more likely to vote and 2 times more likely to volunteer. And yet, today, 80.5 percent of low-income students DO NOT graduate from college.
