Rumor Mill
you are spreading lies, they're out of control.
you talk so much shit, but you have no clue. a judgement passed by
a jaded fool. your lack of understanding is starting to show!
you can't keep us down... we'll be back again! you can't keep us
down... we'll be back for you! don't get careless with the words
you choose or with what you may assume. a little light shed can bring
you the truth. think about it! before you make your next move.
you try to take us down... with what you say you know. you're generating
lies... they're out of control. reputation unsound... the cause leads
back to you. you may bring us down... but we'll be back for you,
because you can't keep us down!
At The Hand Of Our Disease
i saw light, then i saw a face, it made me feel
disgrace. how sick are our richer tastes. we just close our
eyes... to ease the pain. we just hold out our hands, trying to ease
the pain, but it just never goes away. so we wish there was
some way... to ease the pain. the light... made me realize.
the face... so much suffering. disgrace... for the human race.
our tastes... a sick disease. the pain... it never goes away.
i can't understand why we turn our backs when the truth comes out on the
common man.
Spidey's Song
target for hate. why? what did i do
to you? to make you hate me, i never even met you! you said
that i was cruel, but what did i do? can't you see that it's you?
you hate me? you ignorant fool! you don't even know me, you
don't even care. blinded by hate that's been there for years.
you glare at me and fuck with me, you're all about negativity. you
claim you speak the truth about what i did to you? well, some say
tomorrow will be a brighter day, but we're only this close to a war between
races. we need to drop the ignorant thoughts and open up our minds.
defuse the bombs we've made, and let our colors shine.
From Experience
sixteen years old and a world of choices.
so many people to look up to, less to avoid. there's changes to be
made kid. brace yourself for loves and illusions. life is full
of changes. don't be misled. stay true to your feelings.
and you'll be one step ahead. i used to belive in many things.
now its years later and i don't feel quite the same. i've changed
my favorite band, i've changed the life i led. but there are some
things that i'll never abandon.
Blind Participation
out of fear we've abandoned our relation to the
world that we call home. we go about in our ignorant ways, complaining
about the problems in which we blindly participate. i won't take
part in our decay. there will be change! at the thought of
attempting change, we fear the loss of our material ways. ignorance
is always the easiest way, but in our hearts and minds we know that we
need change.
A Solution
i looked deep inside myself... and i've got a solution!
trudging through life with a will to survive. i've kept my head above
water just knowing i've tried. been run through the mill so early
in life. it taught me no need for material life. i was
brought up loved in a low income family.
outcast by my peers because they had everything. fancy cars, flashy
clothes, but when you die... where will it all go? i looked deep
inside myself... and i've got a solution. i want this!... I want
that! i'm
sick and tired of hearing people bitch. there
are so many people, all running around. slaving in a rut... when
will they slow down? and see what there is to see. there is
so much that life has to bring. kick the greed, cause happiness is
all you need! look... deep... inside!
Caged View
i've seen the signs, they're all around us.
a picturesque view of misery and pain. i don't find myself above
it all. so i'm searching for a way to get out. the lid on this
world is about to blow. with all the mistakes that we made.
some may find it comforting. but inside of myself i'm feeling encaged.
it's time! to find out what it is that really matters to me.
it's time! to find the truth that i seek. it's time!
to find a meaning to this reality. it's time! to find a place
where i can breathe. i don't want to end up like those who choose
to waste their lives away. can't stomach the thought of a life in
utter pain. i feel the time is ripe to get out, before i make the
same mistakes. i won't turn my back, i know somewhere there is a
higher taste.
The Truth Is Out There
we ask the questions, but we are afraid of the
answers. so we settle back down into misery, to hide from the truth
for another day. i won't back down! content with some fool's
theories, we soak it up and claim to be supreme. but i ask, why don't
these ends meet? in response, misdirection and juggling. i...
cannot be... content with... what i know... and ignore it for another day!
we ignore the questions of our exsistence and consume ourselves with illusion.
i finally see no point to it my friend. i won't back down!
About Face
acceptance came, acceptance dazed, now your gone.
i never thought that you would go out that way. your dream of unity,
you shunned like the plauge. about face! we've marched down
the same path. overcoming countless obstacles. in
our struggle we stood side by side. never
fearing what lied down the road. we chose our course because of shared
beliefs and our differences fell few and far between. until one day
when a new clique came you turned. about face! you say, you
can't kill a dream... about face! i watched you rip it apart at the
seams... about face! you met the qualifications, but you were jus
a kid lost. you let it warp all that was inside you. overlooking
what it was gonna cost. now you're running in a pack. sharing
the same beliefs. but when a different taste steps into you, you
shut them out just like you did me. you say you can't kill a dream...
about face! you told me once you can't kill a dream. as it
turned out i watched you rip it apart at the seams. acceptance came,
acceptance dazed. your dreams died with you. and now you stand
alone in the end. because your dreams died with you.
All These Years (for Brian W.)
all these years we've remained, we've shared
each other's pain. been through all the change, our lives we've rearranged.
so many dreams have gone away, but one has never strayed. and our
friendship still remains, it will always be that way. we've grown
together through the days. proven all our loyalties in so many ways.
our bond will never break. family, not by blood. in the heart
is where it comes. it will always be that way. brothers 'till
the end. all these years... we've remained.
Can't Break Me
we see it every day. it will never go away.
they want you to be another number in the game. they tried to break
me. they couldn't get to me. they'll never get to me.
because you can't break me!
Something Must Be Done
to stay at home is not for me. i'm not a
fool to watch tv and let the world revolve around me. i don't know
what's going on. everyone's out to con. i can't make my own
decisions. something must be done, so we can live to see tomorrow.
something must be done, to beg, to steal, or have to borrow. don't
you listen to the news, by the time it gets to you who knows where it might
have been. who am i to tell you this? i'm just a number on
the list. that's why i'm so pissed. something must be done
right now!
