There Are No Answers

Another tyrant shows his face
Just a symptom of our disgrace
All our hope will be erased
While we beg and plead “no more!”
Lionize the worst of us
Erode the truth and break our trust
You really think they give a fuck
While we beg and plead “no more?”
Time brings another disaster
The rate of decay growing faster
Rot from within of this cancer
You pray but there are no answers
Strip away all decency
And revel in hypocrisy
Telling you what to believe
But it changes day to day.
Accusing us of their own sins
Crippling loss for petty wins
Under their lies we’re all pinned
How much more can we take?
Time brings another disaster
The rate of decay growing faster
Rot from within of this cancer
You pray but there are no answers
Bought off with new shiny toys
While our way of life’s destroyed
The dirty tactics they’ll employ
Do you really give a fuck?
So click like and subscribe
While we all choke and die
You couldn’t see through the lie
Did you ever give a fuck?
Time brings another disaster
The rate of decay growing faster
Rot from within of this cancer
You pray but there are no answers

What We Should Fear

Well how dare they
Want a better way!
Say what you say
But don’t say it that way.
It’s not my fault
That’s what I’ve been taught.
No second thought
To your pain.
Under
The knee
We choke and bleed.
We’ve lost our way
We pass the blame
We don’t look in the mirror.
We are what we should fear.
The constant need
To feed our greed.
We don’t look in the mirror.
We are what we should fear.
Well look at them
Marching in lock-step
Well let’s show them
That we’re real men.
With armor on
And a long baton.
My favorite song
Is your pain.
Under
The Knee
We choke and bleed.
We’ve lost our way
We pass the blame
We don’t look in the mirror.
We are what we should fear.
The constant need
To feed our greed.
We don’t look in the mirror.
We are what we should fear.

Lined up, the object of my spite.
The cause of all my worst fears in my sight.
Time’s come to set the wrong things right
My superiority won’t be denied.
Everything I see
Is right in front of me
Like a train that can’t be stopped.
But here comes tragedy
From the periphery
Like a train that can’t be stopped.
All mine, every thing in time
Every word you say must be a lie.
My life goes on if you die.
So unreal if not seen with my eyes.
And everything I see
Is right in front of me
Like a train that can’t be stopped.
But here comes tragedy
From the periphery
Like a train that can’t be stopped.

Patrol the block every morning,
In my truck I don't scare.
I'm protectin' my community
And they don't even care!
Without my weapon I'm nothing,
I fight a war in my head!
If you're not like me we're enemies,
I'd be more comfortable if you were dead.
Guns guns guns kills ten at a time!
Guns guns guns ooo I'm a good guy!
Guns guns guns so don't even try!
'cause my gun gun gun's worth more than your life!
My radio has informed me
they're coming for my guns!
I told them from my cold dead hands
they're gonna pry them from.
My neighbors think I'm an asshole
But they don't know a damn thing.
I got a taste for violence on my lips
And ammo in my veins!
Guns guns guns kills ten at a time!
Guns guns guns ooo I'm a good guy!
Guns guns guns so don't even try!
'cause my gun gun gun's worth more than your life!

Demystified

My senses broken
Dragged down too far deep inside
Once awoken
The sunlight seems to die.
Heavy-hearted
Wish to see what you could see
Hope’s departed
From me.
I want to see how you see all the time
Can’t stop looking closer for the lie
Machinations cannot be unseen
Heart and mind make bitter enemies.
Divine order
All things aligned in their place
My scrutiny smolders
A desire I can’t erase.
Face the idol
Hope to fall into its spell
But knowing casts me
To hell.
I want to see how you see all the time
Can’t stop looking closer for the lie
Machinations cannot be unseen
Heart and mind make bitter enemies.
A look behind the veil
To see the face behind
The power of the tale
It’s now demystified.
I want to see how you see all the time
Can’t stop looking closer for the lie
Machinations cannot be unseen
Heart and mind make bitter enemies.

No Way Home

Wake me from this dream,
It’s much worse than it seems.
Poison air, and water’s black,
And the earth is aflame.
They’ve bought and sold our lives,
And blame they will deny.
Another dollar in their stack,
To purchase our demise.
No way home.
We die alone.
Fed to the machine,
It cannot hear our screams.
There’s sacrifices to be made
And markets to appease.
All the hope is gone,
The journey back so long.
Darkness has consumed the light,
And dawn will never come.
No way home.
We die alone.
FUCK THEIR SELFISHNESS.
BURNED OUR DREAMS INTO ASHES.
FUCK THEIR HOPELESSNESS.
PLEASE JUST TAKE ME FUCKING HOME.
