Another Way

Told me to take your empty dead end path
Be just like the rest and live for paper stacks
A life dedicated yet so removed of soul
When your greatest aspiration is to be bought and sold
Tell me what defines your worth
A course of action so assured
Spent life chasing time and stress
What’s there to show at your end?
Keep building your walls, think the whole world is within them
Is that a positive outlook or your fucked up opinion?
No thought to your actions, you feel it doesn’t concern you
The world can keep burning as long as it doesn’t burn you

Little hope in such crucial times
Gotta change the way we value life
Look around - hate on every front
But I know I’m not the only one
No platform for hate
Won’t let you sedate
We’ve wasted enough blood on you to prove
You say you want debate
We see through your lies
If you want to see a better world then educate and fight
Won’t stand your fucking attitudes
I’ve got mine, I know it’s true
Say they’ll change, you play their game
Find strength in numbers or starve and beg
Stand up organized and strong
Words into action will erase the wrong

Speak for yourself - I’ve heard enough of their talk to know
The walls of words that you hide behind
Another convenient lie you try to believe
You’re not exempt from a goddamn thing
No truth in your fucking ways
Closed off your mind yet still so full of faith
No truth in the shit you claim
Your mode of ignorance breeds only hate
Speak for yourself - I’ve heard enough of their talk to know
How much they pose to lead the blind
So secure in refusing all but those views
Principled lies meant for no one but you
Your front’s crumbling down
Under the weight of your lies
It’s about time you faced the truth
The days are numbered for your kind

Pay The Price

Obscured my vision with your fucking lies
Bullshit promises, fake and shallow ties
Enslaved us all to pleasure, pain, and doubt
But I won’t let you drag me down
Reduced us to objects of flesh and bone
But I know that we’re much more
Won’t stand idle
to these vacant lives
You’ve pushed too long
Someday you’re gonna have to pay the price

Drowned Out

Another wasted night spent trying to get your kicks
Living for the moment’s how you say you live
A lie you down and push on everyone in sight
Be one of the boys, follow, and turn off your mind
Take back what’s inside your head
Take back what you left for dead
Gotta prove yourself, take what you see as yours
Aspiring to your role, whatever it takes to score
Reducing everyone you meet to hulls of flesh
Drowned out who you could be chasing emptiness
What’s inside - make alive
Or are you just afraid of what you’ll find?
