We finally found or place in the debt of leaders History shows us the path of this fallacy Is this a nation of liars and cowards? Media outlets have failed, these faulty factions bring us: Falsified fact in spite of the deaths; Spreading chaos throughout the world. They get what they want in spite of their debt, Their tactics have got fallacious appeal I‘ll never see how anyone believes what they say. Fucking anything that comes out of their mouths Is always nothing but lies to our faces, you fucking disgraces So what’s the real deal baby, Don’t get nothing for free I’ll never compromise my intellect To make an amends, you see have a big problem with your broken regime But I got no problem with shrugging off This fabricated dream - You’re all the same And no one owes you a thing (No one owes you a thing) Arrogance, straight the fools who detest such things. Perilous. The objective aftermath transpires quick. Great conceit, welcoming; Take note and laugh like it’s their fault, And slay the weak, purging what once was real.

Knee Deep In The Shit Justify the things I’ve learned over all of these years There are facts and there are fucking contradictions You’re no servant; you’re a person you deserve to be alive Serve your purpose, the purpose you yourself have deemed to be valid Break from the shackles of propaganda Open your mind to new methods of thought Take honor in your convictions Know what you mean and mean it when you say it Denial’s a powerful thing But you are better than this, and this I contend You can’t shut down the sounds of the truth, as hard as you try And you don’t know the half of it Indoctrination leaves you feeling deserted, This disease impedes progress and smothers the soul You’re a slave to the very ideal that created those demons that you are battling Busy making a mockery of reason and empathy, the death of us all Stay away from those vultures who tell you You’re wrong and you’re dead till you think the way that they do As you scoff at the very idea Your solution is to what? No you don’t know the half of it.

Modern existence Imperfect nothingness Consciousness forgot Past and present rot We came in peace And with open arms Your future’s deceased Nihilistic rage, unaware That I’m not a man, I’m a sucker I’m destined to suffer And it’s all for what? Yea I know that voice says leave it alone It’s your conscience, that sycophant mindless buffoon Forget what you know because it’s all a joke Saddle up, free ride lifetime on the back of the working man Our souls may atrophy With thoughts of a new day So instead I’ll drown this mess In alcohol and cigarettes Motives lost Just like tears in the fucking rain You shall fall Leave nothing different and cause only pain Just go to work and cash that check Pay the bills and form regrets Then stare at that glowing box And dream of dreams that I forgot Motives lost Just like tears in the fucking rain You shall fall Leave nothing different and cause only pain (only pain)

So tired of running away Can’t sustain the shame But you are pathetic Just shut your mouth, I can’t help you to understand That I never ever meant disrespect It’s just this feeling haunts me: We never understood anything. You’ll die, the earth, even the stars will burn out And when they do there will be no heaven for them What else should it mean? If nothing lasts forever How long’s nothing last- never. What’s the point of being? When ignorance becomes the only instinct that remains Dude have you ever even looked at the stars up above? An infinite space, a finite place, it defeats self-loathing. So I’ll wait, waiting for a resolve Waiting for tomorrow but tomorrow never comes We used to be complacent with things as they are Now it’s time to pray for the things that haven’t changed? No I’ll wait (under earth) Waiting for tomorrow till tomorrow never comes I’ll be waiting evermore. If I could take this chance, I would show you what this means to me But I’ve never been good at expressing myself As I look around I see nothing but hurt and regret, But I guess that’s the point, we see what we want You and I aren’t the same Just live your life and let me lead mine Never going to, don’t think I wanted to Never again, it’s always the same You never game me a chance To make my peace and get out of your fucking life Yea, tired of trying it seems But it keeps me waiting, justifies the lies you told Everybody else around the world Can see the truth, you’ve removed your very soul.
