Open up your eyes.
Mankind's, lost, its way.
Wars, breed, wars.
Filth, meets, filth.
Fear, buys, votes.
votes, mean, shit.
A nation consumed, by its own lies.
Corporate leaders, marked with a price.
Campaigning Hate, wolves seeking prey.
I, will not bury my, head into the sand,
filling pockets, of, political billionaires.
This, system is a joke, capitalistic thrones,
put to sleep, a nation full of mindless sheep.
Your, empty votes are void, disillusionment.
words are cheap, arm a fictitious president.
A Nation divides, by febal minds.
Sadistic bureaucrats, fund the design.
Where is your rage? Poverty and Ignorance reign.
When, will we, see,
through, corporate, greed.
With, in the, depth,
Is, Certain, death.

All the screams inside my head
Ditch the pain- ditch the dread
Tear my skin as it creeps
eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep
Pull my teeth out one by one
I knew this day would finally come...
*Mental Break
Down!-Down!-Down!-Down!
PMA chase these thoughts away!
Mental Break
Down!-Down!-Down!-Down!
I say my peace and I pray!
Mental Break
Down!-Down!-Down!-Down! sanity lost, I feel betrayed
Mental break down-down-down down down down down —
truth is we are all weak
future is looking bleak
state of aggression
Wrestle with depression
I preach the PMA
Showing signs of decay
Is it all in my brain!?
Or Am I going INSANE!
*Mental Break
Down!-Down!-Down!-Down!
PMA chase these thoughts away!
Mental Break
Down!-Down!-Down!-Down!
I say my peace and I pray!
Mental Break
Down!-Down!-Down!-Down!
sanity lost, I feel betrayed
Mental break down-down-down down down down down —
No where to hide
Overcome suicide
Trapped in my head
The ego has been fed
For days and days
Fuel for the fire
My words make me a liar
Death is upon me
Who will I offend?
Or wake from the dead?
Mental Break
Down!-Down!-Down!-Down!
PMA chase these thoughts away!
Mental Break
Down!-Down!-Down!-Down!
I say my peace and I pray!
Mental Break
Down!-Down!-Down!-Down!
sanity lost, I feel betrayed
Mental break down-down-down down!!!

When all else fails you just sit and wait and pray for god to come along and show you the way.
Cause every Sunday you show your face and now you feel you've paid in full so now you wanna see god come through for you.
You keep on praying - 'til one day you realize its fake.
I have no faith in anything that you fucking stand for.
i have no faith, i question all and don't follow blindly.
your selfish views, selfish pleas, selfishness makes you a slave.
I guess i just don't understand why everyone is living in fear.
scared of wrath and scared of death - scared to the point where its taken over your life. You're Life!
You're scared of something that just could end up to be nothing.
I have no faith in anything!
I have no faith and that sets me free!
In god i don't trust!
In god i do not trust!
You keep fucking praying -
Until one day you realize its fake.

Live fast, die young
I made a promise
And just like that I break it
Now I’m paying the price
Face reality and the consequence
This time you went to far
I don’t toe the line
I fucking cross it
Try and snuff my flame out
I’ll burn down every bridge on my way down
I'll burn it all down
I’ll burn it all, I'll burn it all down
Burn it down
I said I was going to break the chains
But instead I’m bound
I thought I tore those walls down
But I built them up instead
Now it’s all come crashing down

Stuck! in my brain
Bad thoughts keep flowing in
Can't stop them though I try so hard
Realization-How did I get so dark?
GRIEF
PAIN
Perpetuated by my brain
Mind poisoning thoughts
Confusing dreams, making me sick
Wanting to scream
Pushing away those close to me
Overthinking everything
Love
Hate relationship bound by a cord
Thoughts making me feel...
RIPPED AND TORN

Human Animal - F.E.A.R.
03:42

Time and time again I think to myself
and I wonder why… wonder why
is this what’s to look forward to?
Each day I worry I haven’t loved enough,
I haven’t done my part… done my part.
What’s gonna fill these lonely hearts?
Need to disconnect for me to connect.
I want to quiet the past… quiet the past,
and I gotta ask is any of this fucking real?
F.E.A.R.
False Evidence Appearing Real.
F.E.A.R.
and Forget Everything And Run.
As I look to you my Mother Earth
and my Father Sky… Father Sky,
I wanna feel the ground beneath my feet.
I can’t lower all of these mountains.
Gotta raise myself up… raise myself up
to get over these illusions in front of me.
F.E.A.R.
False Evidence Appearing Real.
F.E.A.R.
and Forget Everything And Run.
Total surrender so I can be fit for service.
The lies, the guilt,
is building up inside me.
The fear, the pain,
is fueling my anxiety.
The hope, the faith,
please come out & guide me.
The force, the strength,
so I can be fit for service.
F.E.A.R.
False Evidence Appearing Real.
F.E.A.R.
and Forget Everything And Run.

This demon is anear
It has conjured feelings of disgust
It makes you weep in fear
I hope for something so much more for us
This demon is up here
It harbors feelings of hopelessness
It makes you weep in fear
I've always hoped for something better than this
Price of progress
Why can't you just live
Like the rest of us
Reaching out for help
Nobody actually cares enough
Pay the true high cost
Like the rest of us
When will this shit end
Kill the rest of us, fuck
Wage war all the time
Abandon everything
Despondent, demoralized, defiled
When you live your life on their time
Lives lost all the time
Turn your backs on everyone
Depressing, disheartened piece of shit
When you live your life on their time
We are the ultimate sacrifice
Price of progress

"SOMEWHERE TO CALL OUR OWN"
home: noun - the place where one lives permanently; a place of refuge
through lonely years
we stumbled
lost and confused
battered and bruised
until we found somewhere to call our own
a place where it's safe to be fucked up
and see eye to eye
and heart to mind
or so we'd like to believe
have we forgotten what that means?
I'd never thought I'd come to know
a time when the damaged and the rejects
would be at each another's throats
don't you see that we're all just broken pieces
making up one whole?
what are we thinking?
we can do better
frightened eyes
faceless names
somewhere there's someone who has lost their way
what will they find when they finally end up here?
will we be ready to help them fill their empty spaces
the way we still embrace someone doing that for us years ago
or will they find us tearing each other apart
we'll....be....here
in this somewhere
we call our own
until the end
until the end
I will be here for them til the end
until the end
until the end
I will be here for you til the end

I’m so goddamn sick
Torn apart and I’m sick of this shit
My personality’s split
Self sabotaging everyday I exist
Eternal Anxiety
Never ending paranoia
Angry fits of rage
I’m so scared to be alone
Monster hid in mania
You don’t know how insane I feel
My reality to bare
I’ll do it on my own
Brain broken and cursed
For better or for worse
Always going through the ups and downs
Sink or swim I refuse to drown
Over emotional
Abandonment fulfills my dread
Basket case fucked in the head
Begging for the face of death
I wish I no longer felt
A constant war within myself
Sorrow yes I know her well
A matrimony made in hell
As much as all this hurts
Tryna throw me in the goddamn dirt
I’ll fight back and do whatever works
I'm pushing through I will prevail

Bull Cult - Bury Yr Id
01:16
|
|||
|
Getting what you want often means you're not proving to others that you're right. Solving all your problems and getting your outcome means avoiding the impulse to fight. So be right or get what you want.
Bury your id.
Knuckle dragging style & acting tough defies consensus; just let them save face. It's what you take away at end of the day that determines whose winning the race.

Decline - Paper Thin
01:54

You thought you'd never change
that all of your intentions would stay the same
Your words are lost to the wind
I see those convictions were paper thin
Friends have come and friends have gone
I'm not assigning blame
You're free to choose, as I have too
(And) my values still remain
Time rolls on, yet I'm still strong
Your ghost stays in the past
These core beliefs, that shaped our lives
Were they the only common thread?
Friends have come and friends have gone
I'm not assigning blame
You're free to choose, as I have too
(Yet) my values still remain
I remain
Now
You're paper thin
You're paper thin
You're paper thin
You're paper thin

Man, here we are again
You serve and protect?
We can read between the lines
Your true nature's neglect
Refuse to see what fuels our rage
It still takes a lot to be on the same page
Loyal to the corruption
It's clear as day
This ain't no fucking assumption
The voice of the unheard, the unwanted
No more silence caused by actions so absurd
Make a change before expecting one from me
|

I believe what you're saying.
I knew it wasn't me. It's them.
I don't do this everyday.
Give me a break
Just having fun. No one got hurt.
Until they do and the mask comes off
And your walls fall down
Now it's you and the mirror
It's not you. It's them. Self deception
The way of deception is self deception.

enter umbra:
smoke and mirrors
lungs fill up while I look in
get your licks up on the surface,
theres no sugar down and under
circuitry so complex it only works itself
I caged my head in the clouds
and my feet underground
everytime I close my eyes I crash a thousand cars and all my loved ones die
surging with the urges to mutilate and all the guilt of every unwanted thought it brings
how did it get like this?
psychosomatic ticks keeping the feeble conscious stuck inside a broken stereo
no control on the dial of deathfmradio
all I’ve seen now I see despised
don’t you get it?
I didn't expect a thing
you sing to wage war
you sing to build this cage
violent opera, sing me to death
how'd it get like this?

Dehumanized and transparent.
Eroding from, self decay.
Desecrate, your creation.
Memories fade and waste away.
Psychosis consumes.
Flesh starts to rot.
Convulsing ensues.
Harvest deceit,
reduced and deceived.
Internal defeat.
Dehumanized and transparent.
Eroding from, self decay.
Desecrate, your creation.
Calculated insanity.
Grinding your fucking teeth,
defiling humanity.
Entombed within your disease,
genetically obsolete.
Desecrate cerebral state.

Wounded Touch - Excision
02:27
|

|
Behind the nerve of each thought
lies the harsh voice of another,
an invasive growth that speaks
with words that should be my own.
Where I step, where I lay,
where I peel back skin, I see only your face.
Hands laying mercy,
put sharpened edge to vein.
Pry teeth under skin and resect the touch
that withers and atrophies.
You will not thrive inside me,
where your breath falls
will be no cross I’ll bear.
I will do as I must to live so my spite survives.
You will not thrive inside me.
You will not contort and shape this life.
Malignant voice under tissue, with scalpel,
I tear you out.
My spite survives.
Every breath is remission.
Every breath is my revenge.

Cursed, forbidden to roam
Tied, to the Undead
Waste, floating inside
Time, dissipates
Burdened

Cursed, Forbidden to roam
Tied, to the Undead
Cornered, losing of sight
Grey, filter of life
Burdened
Buried Slowly
Cursed, Plagued
Burdened
Buried slowly

You try to put us in our place but
we refuse
You try to shame us for our looks but
we refuse
You try to take away our rights but
We refuse
You try to make us feel ashamed but
We refuse
We refuse to live a lie
Sublimate to sate your ego
Subjugate to stay alive
We refuse to stay quiet
We refuse to cover up
Fuck you and your fragile ego
We refuse your rule
We will not be silent
We will compete
We are stronger than you think
We refuse
Side with the patriarchy and you will lose
Submission can be refused and we refuse

It’s running out, so the time is now
Make your move, don’t stand still
Precious time
Not gonna take it easy, Falling asleep at the wheel
Breathing in all we can until there’s nothing left to give Eyes are open, the goal is clear not to waste away what we hold dear Knuckle down and go for broke it’s the moment we won’t get back
This is the hour of need
I still believe this is not beyond me
Fading
Fleeting
Slipping
Take control

I'm a person just like you
But I've got better things to do
Than sit around and fuck my head
Hang out with the living dead
Snort white shit up my nose
Pass out at the shows
I don't even think about speed
That's just something I don't need
I've got the Straight Edge!
I'm a person just like you
But I've got better things to do
Than sit around and smoke dope
'Cause I know that I can cope
Laugh at the thought at eating ludes
Laugh at the the thought of sniffing glue
Always gonna keep in touch
Never gonna use a crutch
I've got the Straight Edge!
I've got the Straight Edge!
I've got the Straight Edge!
