the plaguing of ones peace of mind
an outrage, an outcry
is being withheld from your sight
make me adept at defeating my masters
who sell us this debt to wear
as chains
make no mistakes who deceives you
perverted our words
we're accustom to not question
these things are eating us away
fog of a civilization
clouded by judgement
taught to be estranged
from who you are
thou shall not parrot
unless thy covet
fill my heart with sin
I no longer recognize who I am
the nature of this beast
is unforgiving to inequalities
the children of our abomination
are being indoctrinated
trading their love for each other in
for a final diversion
you will be met
with opposition
but we must wake them up
we must set them free
the times we once imagined
are at our door
beating it in
asking you to turn away
know this trick will come back to haunt you
in pursuit of the absolute
truth we find our self
learn deception
of the tool
it wont make your life any easier
to live for money is to pit against our brother
we'll find one another
while at the depths
of isolation
revealing an ultimate purpose
to know yourself is
to save yourself
we activate the others
isolation
revealing an ultimate purpose
to know yourself is
to save yourself
we activate
in darkness we welcome the light back in
we've forgot our very nature
through times of sorrow and isolation
we find our enemy
is our self
and we break
if you looked down and saw the chains
collapse inside our heads
it makes alive
indoctrinated by the ways
the things we've taught ourselves
to make a lie
and I could only reach for more
I could only reach for more and I opened up that door
there's a scratching in our mind
you can't ignore it forever
you know that nothings ever right
observing this behavior
and then you open up your eyes
now see your soul staring back at you
eye to eye it still wants more
I remember
listen to intuition
it is buried in the depths of the soul
all I wanted to do was take the pain away

Sociopath smile
05:49
|

|
a mother screams violently thrusting and shaking
she finally pushes out the worm
freshly born into this world
an absorbent sponge that's only understanding is what he is told
a gift that generations kept handing down like poison unto their suckling tongues
not even the old would remember what the ominous sound was
preoccupied with things secular
and so we were lost and never found
we elevate do we impress our makers or do they frown upon us
cause all we can give back is a sociopath smile
and nothing can bring back the fucking color to what is now left only black and white
and with the power of this monochrome vision he weighs out his success
but there is no satisfying this hunger or thirst
he'll consider, like those before him what it really comes down to
but never once considering the repercussions
no inner peace left to create, a reflection of these motives
all that is left is this lifeless shell of man
left to create what he considers to be his final accomplishment, to be as god
but he failed
and all we're left with is the unspeakable misfortunes as we seem to free fall
we'll see how low you fall
and we'll see how low you can fall
we'll see how low you fall
I said a prayer for those of us
who haven't been sold
relinquish me from the debts
that will haunt us all
and I can feel it in us all
refuse to see or hear it
become the ones that falls

Exist

We leave this world alone
The body dies
but do we?
what is reality?
we decide what is
an illusion
it made me sick to see
it as it was
you'll find no redemption
in asking the question
a brick wall of ignorance holds strong
forever to be lost in contradictions
inside our minds
we know
eyes wide open
to pure darkness
a feeling of utter uselessness
inhibits motion
as you're carried away
on someone elses
complacent notion
can you feel the slaves hands hold you under
until the rain comes to wash away
the drudgery of living in this world
a wave of cries
entangled infinitely
in confusion
echos on
someone better wake
them up
too sick to see what we've become
each day exist for what function
yet we're moving closer
what is it all for and who the fuck do we owe an explanation to
let me show you
there is a boot over our heads
every last one of you
has the strength to pick yourself up
if only you would realize
that boot is you
it could stop
we live our lives to validate a lie
it holds us slave to it while it makes
it near impossible to breathe a full breathe
into my lungs so I can feel alive
We all create a lie for us to tell alike
we create an ego and call it ourself
and we'd die for it

I can no longer lay my concerns to rest
and I've got something to say if you will take it as that
please pay close attention to these words
they will inspire a vision so clear you can see it
but your freedom remains a fleeting illusion
to this day we only have ourselves to confirm
everything is only what we believe it to be
but will you, can you see it?
We stay focused on a collective interest but it is not about survival
we are components of a highly proficient machine
each bullet separated by a chamber
never once to question its existence
do you believe authority is obtained
by anything other than your willingness to submit
And in your eyes I see the pain of expectations upon you
and every one of us hides in disguises to keep us from knowing who
we really are confined within our own subjective view
but you can break free at anytime but first you must choose
