The uncertainty of today
brings me strength in tomorrow
It’s the only thing I know
Slowly learning how to let go
I look back at my fucking life
I’m not wasting away this time
The uncertainty of today
brings me strength in tomorrow
It’s the only thing I know
Slowly learning how to let go
I look back at my fucking past
A feeling that will never last
This is it
I am nothing

Life Of Contempt

Still find myself stuck in a daydream
What’s left to make of my word?
In regards to my health: checking myself
Still my voice goes unheard
If only I could seek the answers
that you’ve come to find.
But today it’s so clear to me
you’re being left behind.
There’s nothing you can do
I’ve got to see this through
There’s nothing left to say
This change starts today
There’s nothing left for these eyes to see:
a crumbled broken world
We are all to blame.

Controller II
01:37
|

The power of information,
in an age where they say that you don’t have the time
Striving for a sense of accomplishment
Searching for a purpose to live a decent life
Realize that there is no will left to live
while you deal with they take and you give
Come to find all of this time was a lie
Stopped dead in your tracks: right where you began.
Reset the clock and watch the time stop
and wait for the judgement to cease.
Mental prison takes tolls and in hearts there are holes
on display there for all that can see.
It’s hard not to tell there’s a problem,
you can tell if you look at my eyes.
Deal with the stress as you’re put to the test
Stopped dead in your tracks: right where you began.
You ask me why
I am the way that I am
Well you don’t see
What I see
Every move that I make
Calculated and precise
I can’t help that it’s the way that I am
Bite the hand of the controller, I object

I can’t tell what’s fake and what’s real
Whatever gets me through the day is how I feel
On the outside, I show signs of age
Justify my lifestyle, send me on my way
Alone with the signs of the times
With every step you take you get closer to the line
On the outside, I show signs of age
Justify my lifestyle, send me on my way
I cannot tell what is real or fake

Shattered
02:27

Burning alive
Never asked for this pain
There will be no end
Suffering through
this fucking life.
Can’t ever win at these games
Total defeat.
Pure disgust
is running straight through my veins.
All hope is gone
Mass destruction is all
Don’t know how the fuck I am supposed to breathe when hate is surrounding me?
Why is everything so fucking hard to believe?
Can’t believe me? Try again
I’m bending over backwards just to try and see clearly
through all this bullshit you put me through.
Shattered to pieces.

70 Billion
01:23
|
|||
|
Trapped in a cage with no escape while tears of fear run down their face
Screams of terror fill the halls. Don’t you have any compassion at all?
70 billion dead each year. When the profits rise lives disappear
An industry built on death and it fucking makes me sick
I will be the voice of the voiceless until every cage is empty.

Consumption

I don’t wanna believe
I don’t wanna be
Don’t wanna dream if all that’s left is defeat
Consuming, all the young, precious lives
Can’t handle the heat
Feels so bittersweet
Walking earth day by day, and repeat
Free all the innocent beings
Stand for your right
Won’t end without a fight
Don’t let them take you down and with no feeling
Lives, coming to an end
Don’t let them take you down and with no feeling

Manipulation Tactics
03:18
|

|
Manipulation tactics: used by those with something to gain from you
Just a bunch of theatrics used to get your own way on any given day
Choose your words wisely for that reaction that you so desperately seek
And say a bunch of shit you don’t really mean as a way to trick those who you see as weak
It’s nothing new to me
It’s fucking plain to see
Friendships only used as a way to gain social capital every single day
With your cover now blown and your true intent showing
and the way you make yourself seem all-knowing.
The way that you put yourself first: guaranteed to only cause pain.
So the next time you think you’re going undetected
just know that you’re going to get what’s expected.
Lie to me
It’s my burden to bear
Fuck with me
Cry to me.

Loss
03:24
|

Won’t pretend it’s fine
So full of loss inside
An exhausted mind with nothing left to find
What’s the point in ending what is someone else’s joy?
Back the fuck off - and soon you will get yours
Who’s to really say?
It’s all a fucking game
No choice to make, what’s gone is gone
We are not the same.
I won’t pretend that it’s fine
I’m so full of loss inside
An exhausted mind with nothing left to hide
What’s the point in ending someone else’s joy?
All secrets aside
Can’t have no fucking pride
What’s left to give? Someone please help me stop this mind.
The loss of all that I hold dear to me,
signifying the end of meaning.
Life: a hollow shell of false triggers in my brain shooting off one by one,
while everything I love turns to dust.
So who’s to really fuckin’ say?
It’s just all a fucking game.
No choice to make, what’s gone is gone
I won’t pretend that I’m fine.

Reinvigorate

Back to life with a mind that’s as sharp as a knife
I gotta have it one way or another
Pain of mind, on the line, coming in from behind
It’s gonna happen. They got your number.
Life to live, the way it goes, but inside you know
It’s all worth it so then fuck it.
Just in time, you realize that it can’t all be fine
But still I get it so don’t bother…
I can no longer rely on other people to fulfill my aspirations or achieve my desires
because the world is a disappointing mess that can never be solved.
Due to the powers that be and the systems that are in place
I can no longer trust my government or peer groups to make healthy decisions for me
based in logic or reasoning.
The prevalence of deception being sold as information runs rampant through our community,
blaming each other when the real enemy is clearer than ever.
No progress can be made inside until you find the true sense of strength within.
