It's beyond our control
Hands clenched down - Don't know what to do
Flames and riots and all your data exploited
In this world they say was created
We must rise up and cut clean through
the brainwashed visions and messages they circulate
Credit-reliant systems,
factories and processed victims
Death, pain, and suffering are mandatory
Obeying a puppet is mandatory
Hold my hand 'cause we're still going to make it
As they deny science and push to rewrite history
When will our world wake up?
You're being lied to by the ones who are
Telling you that you're being lied to (it's true)
This zone is just too comfortable
For you to question your grandfather

Time Stamp

With everyday that slides beneath our feet,
Another hero gone.
We're left to hold it down.
We circumnavigate the earth,
Penetrating the deepest chasms of our minds.
Searching for a sign -
Something beyond consciousness.
How cliche - this clarity.
It never articulated.
We worship the day - breathing the deepest breaths,
Digesting every ounce of this world.
Tell me that this misfortune is a lie.
Tell me that there is another side.
Tell me the end is just a lie.
This cancer, dementia, and hospital bedside.
Repair these blown circuits
So we can properly exist.

Burning Tradition
01:50
|

You are so certain, so unwilling
To deny that your truth is (pre)defined.
What's been instilled is written in blood
And forever ingrained into stone.
"Don't you dare question...
My traditions that were...
Virtuously injected at birth.
Make no fucking mistake,
I'm a martyr defending my faith.
And don't you ever forget it.
My rules are the only rules.
Don't you ever defy them.
The structure of my past
Can never be fractured
And I'm here to defend it
With this gun in my hand."
Your parade this bridge because
Everyone else does.
And the sands of time never
Separated you from your truth
Like they should have.
And when your logic proves
Nothing but false
And it stares you intensely down,
Will you still deny?

Redefined

Anxiety creeping beneath.
Hold on because this won't last forever.
Hold strong we'll get through this together.
Am I breathing deep? Am I breathing OK?
My vision's not clean but I can see the sun.
Clear thoughts now a permanent beige,
When a loved one is gone.
Buried in thoughts to be encrypted at another day...at another day.
So accept these words before you go...one last time.
I'll continue on in this world you'll never get to see,
For all I know.
Coming to terms with this new reality,
I'll never give up hope.
What I've learned from you, I'll endlessly promote.
My promise to myself and the ones I love.
Never letting go of your grasp.
Final visits in sadness
Never appreciated the love and support.
It was emptied without pride and respect,
That you deserved.
Could never express it.
Could never express it.

Borrowed Time

Working hard - will it inspire me?
I'm halfway through my time, not living the dream.
But say hello and let's have a drink.
I'm on borrowed time,
So let's make this deal sweet.
I'm obsessed with mistakes,
And I'm obsessed with these streets.
I can't get ahead and I've tasted defeat.
I'm on borrowed time,
So let's make this deal sweet.
Alive - to be free?
A lie - being free?
We want no diamonds, no luxuries.
We still feel lucky.
Your flaunts mean nothing.
Can't wait for these hands to become untied.

Fear Accolades

Let the diaphragm sink and wash away this memory.
I'm immune to the thought.
This open jaw, laid on the ground.
Incomprehensible acts can't be ignored.
Can't dislodge this pain that I only to purge and redeem.
From where did this bitter hate come? This profound scorn?
This persistent degradation?
Alone and reduced, the dry air cracks the skin.
The pale discolored heart nearly requires resuscitation.
Amputate this target off my back.
Disrupt these cross-hairs, steadily attached.
For you it was envy and entertainment.
But you assigned it to deliver a climate of torment.
Using the leverage. Temporarily possessed.
A scar, a stain, an un-erasable event.
Blocking fruition, blocking my vision.
This early tribulation built upon myself.
Character flaws produced distorted adolescence.
Shattered ego, it was submitted to shame.
What gives the rewards for coping with this pain?
You want to take my heart?
You want to take my pride away?
And leave my with these scars,
Something that never goes away.
