A CLEANSING FIRE Kill all that lives and smother all that breathes anything to meet your needs We all go down with the ship you’d sink us all for your greed Man to this world a disease, burn everything to feed your gluttony once more than we’d ever need, what’s left is barely enough to survive A cleansing fire to protect life I’d leave it ruins wipe out mankind Raping-every resource, paving the world ,you’d suffocate the earth reaping-fear no consequence, you’d tear it all out you’d suffocate and end all life When the concrete crumbles a forest will grow in its place once man is extinct life can thrive

ANYWHERE BUT HERE I can’t Let go-this world comes down on me continually crushing my hopes and my dreams They say that when you pass-you find a better place there has to be something that’s better than this Not one second counts-it’s all just wasted time I gouge out my eyes to be blind of this world and I’d tear out my veins in the hopes of a far better place I wanna be anywhere but here and the last thing in this life that I wanna see is my name on the side of a bullet named peace Not one second counts-it’s all just wasted breath To be blind of this world I’d gouge out my eyes I’d rip out my veins in the hope a far better place I wanna be anywhere but here and the last thing is life that I want to see is my name on the side of a bullet named peace They say that when you pass-you find a better place There has to be something that’s better than this

ETERNAL RECURRENCE These walls that you hate have become your prison they mock you with silence-no matter how loud you scream There’s never sleep-anxiety controls you things that you’ve seen-haunt your daily life You’ve found yourself here before- never quite this desperate You’ll find yourself here again –the cycle keeps repeating Try to disassociate what you want from what you know try to close your eyes-when they open it’s still your life Watching it collapse- it brings satisfaction no hope for a change-this is your life You’ve found yourself here before-never quite this desperate You’ll find yourself here again –the cycle keeps repeating Its insane-nothing changes not the places or faces get slightly rearranged but otherwise stay the same Commit crime on the highest level -cliché white devils while you’re standing in line to buy food with your last dime It’s a crime –always struggling always grasping for something they take everything -still end up with nothing You feel insane-nothing changes all the faces and places you’ve seen thousands of times but slowly can’t recognize Feel you’ll suffocate-you see no escape-the door leading out seems terrifying The walls that you hate become your prison You’d take your life to reclaim your life -reclaim your life

Crisis 02:53
CRISIS What are you gonna have left to fight for-when all the causes have been lost Are you gonna accept your station-just chalk it all up as a loss Give me something I can stand for-stand till my legs turn to dust In this modern dark age we exist in shadows-avoid the light burning our eyes What about this modern world is really different from the old? How is this a modern at all? Refuse to accept, and violently reject the sentence you’ve past The life that you’ve planned out for me When there’s nothing left to stand on-when all your beliefs are gone Give me something to believe in-I’ll believe till all the buildings are rust In this modern dark age we exist in shadows- avoid the light burning our eyes What about our modern world is really different from the old? How is this a modern at all? Refuse to accept and violently I reject the sentence you’ve past and this life that you’ve planned out for me

In Shadows 02:00
IN SHADOWS We’re all born with a light in our eyes -with a chance to make something of our life but the more of this world that we see -that light it fades from our eyes so quickly When we become aware we learn doubt-with that awareness that light it burns out and in this darkness we can see more clearly-there's no path to follow-there’s no relief Suffering leads to contempt when it’s in our daily life when we fail everything that we try Through our youths that we barely survive told that hardships will help shape our lives so we hold onto an impossible dream-hoping to somehow shape our destinies Now that this violence is all that we know-now that this anger is all we have left with no path laid out ahead of you-lost in a world that never wanted you Suffering leads to contempt when its in our daily lives when we fail everything that we try We’re all born with a light in our eyes-born to a world that we cannot survive when we accept that there is no way out-with that awareness that light it burns out Now that this violence is all that we know-now that this anger is all we have left with no path laid out ahead of you-lost in a world that never wanted you Suffering leads to contempt when it’s in our daily lives when we fail everything that we try It’s your daily life

CUT THE VEINS A king doesn’t care if a peasant burns his home Police don’t care if we burn our own neighborhoods Life broken down to monetary weight Your worth in gold is far less than you think Ch: the only way to, make their system bleed Cut the veins that flow with currency The only way to dethrone a king To storm the castle, burn down the throne Fight amongst ourselves over scraps from their table Losing a class war & freedoms the cost Scales of justice long broken and perverted Our lives hold no value, they write off the loss Fight for scraps from the table Freedom’s the cost Not losing a class war-they lost

Trigger 02:12
TRIGGER I realize all the choices that I’ve made they were mine And the consequences of my actions I recognize I should’ve had a better shot at my life Misanthropic mind, my self destructive revenge Violent response, suicidal means to an end I should’ve had better shot at my life Ch: Buried all the rage and anger deep inside, but they’ll always be a trigger Short fuse ,time bomb, hand grenade with a hairline trigger No escape from this wrecking ball that is my life The anger fades but there’ll always be a trigger Not a victim- not of circumstance –not of chance You see me as disgrace –I see what I am I should’ve had a decent chance at my life You condescension brings anger sharper than knives You should’ve let me be I’d have suffered in silence I should’ve had a better shot at my life Ch: Buried all the rage and anger deep inside, but they’ll always be a trigger Short fuse ,time bomb, hand grenade with a hairline trigger No escape from this wrecking ball that is my life The anger fades but but reforms if you pull the right Not a victim of circumstance or of chance You see me as a disgrace and I know that’s what I am You should’ve let me be I’d have suffered in silence Should’ve let me drown in my own silence

Slowly Dying 01:41
SLOWLY DYING Come in the world with a boot on our necks-were struggling for scraps of respect Realize that there is no point in trying- we see we are all just slowly dying Life’s slowly fading-were turning to dust-we know there’s nothing left for us Life’s fading quickly-we’re all in a rush to find our place down in the dust Don’t wanna fix the problems –don’t wanna try at all Content to sit back and watch it all fall Don’t wanna fix the problems –don’t wanna try at all Content to watch it collapse You always remember the misinformation-you always forget that it’s false Always ready to go stand and accuse but never been ready to fall Don’t wanna fix the problems –don’t wanna try at all Content to sit back and watch it all fall Don’t wanna fix the problem–don’t wanna try at all Content to watch it collapse Frustration would bring me to tears if I wasn’t to jaded to feel Too jaded and angry to see that the problem is probably me Frustration it festers for years till I become too bitter to care Too jaded too angry to see that problem is probably me Come in this world with a boot on our necks-were struggling for scraps of respect realize that there is no more point in trying-we’re all just slowly dying

Oblivion 01:53
OBLIVION This is an insurrection this is insubordination there’s no justice that I can see there’s one solution that I can see Lies pile up like the money they steal, like bodies that lie in the street keep us divided to make us believe our differences are to blame Now that you’re backed against that wall, what are you gonna do now How are you gonna justify all those that die Bodies pile up as it’s shown on the screen-somehow no one’s committed a crime police exist to please the rich, keep the rest of us right in line now that you know that we see you, what are you gonna do now how are you gonna try to justify –all those that died This is a final solution –this is my only escape you’ll find no way to get away-you’ll find no guiding light cuz’ this is the only solution-the only way that I can see there’s no way back here for me –this is my final goodbye Device strapped tight-dead man’s insurance bright lights flash– path through the shadows there is no chance in hell for me this is justice from which you cannot hide This is justice in the hands of the worthless payback from which you cannot hide bright lights flash ,crash into the darkness Deadmans path into the light
