Let Go
Another time another place i might have had a smile
on my face this could have been such a beautiful thing but now it's just
a fucking waste of time we've said what had to be said the issue's discussed
already dead we're clinging to something what? we don't know it's
about time we just let go what's the point? why do we bother?
just to try and hurt each other? or to try and save part of what
was there? put on an act pretend like we care avoiding the outcome
we both know cut the shit and just let go all this back and forth cheap
shots no remorse no chance wounds to mend when is this all gonna end?
all i ever wanted was some fucking peace.
Call To Arms
Another cause, heed the call, everybody rally 'round
don't contemplate if it's right, just follow the crowd but don't you dare
disagree cause they'll question your loyalty their idea of comraderie is
to heed their call to arms who appointed you the moral judge? pointing
your fingers at everyone don't pull that guilt trip bullshit on me nothing
you say or do can decide for me so go ahead, keep your rules, i'll choose
my own wars your accusations and harsh words can't do me any harm cause
i don't believe in blind loyalty that's just mob mentality i will answer
what's right for me and not your call to arms.
Potential For A Fall
Here's another tale, a replay of society's failures
out for ourselves, bred to consume in pursuit of wealth and the ones in
charge, once secure show disregard for future generations who must endure
what's left behind no compassion, no caution, no forethought potential
for a fall no forethought, no vision, no future potential for a fall go
about our lives as we turn a blind eye as long as i get mine potential
for a fall submissive, complacent, sit back and let it slip away just can't
seem to hold it together and yet we continue with the charade of being
individuals as we get spoon-fed, kept in check by the latest trends are
we that shallow? is getting your groove on all that matters? i'm
not asking you to bleed but show consideration please sit back and let
it slip away we can't seem to hold it together we can't seem to get it
right.
Falter
Always looking, always waiting anticipating fickle
and jaded sometimes sloppy working the body the pressure is in my head
i won't falter the hell with meeting expectations proudly displaying imperfections
sometimes sloppy working the body the pressure is in my head i won't falter
it won't be the end of me 'cause i won't let it get to me.
The Future Is Mine
if you want to save me leave me alone with your
sick polluted soul if you want to save me leave me alone the future's mine
it's such a waste of precious time, precious years precious feelings that
are misdirected and should be disconnected it's such a shame to learn a
lesson after giving of yourself in all so many ways to find it didn't pay
if you want to save me leave me alone with your sick polluted soul if you
want to save me leave me alone - now! don't want to compromise myself
low self image hasn't got the best of confidence at least not yet it hasn't
only the least affected can be the most respected just to escape is worth
the temporary pain and hurt if you want to save me leave me alone with
your sick polluted soul if you want to save me leave me alone i've had
enough this time the future is mine my friends objectively told me again
and again about the things that i refused to see.
Guilty
i watch as innocence is slaughtered can't stop
the ringing in my head you can't see what i see, you can't feel what i
feel guilty - the time will surely come guilty - when i pay a heavy price
- guilty! i search for love but find opression can't stop the ringing
in my head you can't see what i see, you can't feel what i feel just when
i've fought out of the corner i find my back against the wall my rules
are far too hard to live by, they beat me down from inside guilty - my
standards are pathetic guilty - i fail myself again.
Falling Apart
My enemies lurk in the corner of my eye falling
apart staring back from the dark shadows in my mind faling apart my trust
is like a crumbling statue falling apart i try to hide but find no refuge
faling apart they seem so threatening they all seem so threatening they're
all coming after me the enemy's after me - that's a problem from what i
see the land of the free is ready to arm me to the teeth - that's a problem
we're free to cheat, free to steal free to wreck each other at will they
shock my chill, shock my senses never let down my defenses kundalini's
in a mess and i'm shattering from stress they victimize, traumatize and
i'm as vulnerable as a child all the sounds i hear at night is my alarm
going off? are my windows shut and locked as i fumble trough my keys
you see me falling apart at the seams falling apart the enemy's after me.
Sanctuary
This is for the one who saved me accepts me for
who i am, just me and always gives back tenfold whatever i give respect
was never ever questioned, every feeling reciprocated mutual ideals and
passion straight from the soul (from my soul) when i'm safely in your arms
there i find my sanctuary help me weather every storm, you're my sanctuary,
my true love there are those who tried to use you even ones who would abuse
you they never took the time to see what i see how you're always waiting
for me kept me sane while all was crazy and so i give you what's dearest
to me my true love the very first time you touched my soul from that day
on never want to let you go.
Morally Confused
Morraly confused cause i'm faced with the scum
the scum that keeps my emotions numb fight with the images, i fight with
my thoughts suppress all the violence & keep backing off am i still
good if i want to see it am i still sane if i want to feel it the love
in my heart ain't the answer to it blood on my hands and morraly confused
i feel the pain that i inflict there's a lot of baggage that keeps building
up baggage that's always annoying as fuck annoying reminders of how it
is frustrating shit that'll never change i can't be bothered with problem
solvers all sound alike, they're all pantomime i can't be bothered with
problem solvers leave me to stew here alone in my fuckin juice i don't
know, i don't know what's right i can't shut these images out.
Hindsight
don't think of the could've beens don't think of
what shoul've been weed out your weaknesses piled up issue makes a mess
don't think you had a chance don't dwell on lost romance nothing is guaranteed
or caters to stupidity they say life is what you make it can't go back
and try to change it learn to live with your regrets choose a path choose
it right it's all there in black and white disassociate joy and wealth
just don't even kid yourself the say life is what you make it can't go
back and try to change it choises that were made opportunities push away
the pain and move on with no delay move on accept the shame learn to live
with your regrets move on with no delay move on accept the shame it's all
behind you anyway.
Martin
Hidden like the squalor that we create martin wants
out of this but poverty keeps him in this place sratching like the vermin
between the walls martin needs a friend but the people the he meets just
give him shit and pretend, they're no good he's not blind, all he needs
is a single ray of light life's too short but seems too long when lonliness
becomes the norm life's too short but seems too long and it may come as
no surprise but the lonliness in martin's eyes was good enough and life
itself was long enough knowing full well, knowing what's going on knowing
for far too long, jealous he's so jealous of all the fun martin needs a
friend but the pricks that he meets just give him shit and pretend long
enough, life itself was long enough had enough, he laid down when he had
enough.
Pass The Buck
Close your eyes and you're sure to see apathy pass
the buck so you don't show sympathy the beaten path don't let it lead you
misery the fear you hold will only cheat you don't let it eat you like
a cancer we all pay for the shit we do pass the buck not to me out of touch
with the things that set us free pass the buck not to me out of touch sitting
back while we watch 'em bleed senseless, have we gone numb? youth
led by image, what have we become? heartless it's the way to be maybe
it's for you but it's not for me not for me.
Quiet Man
He stares back, he glares back at the eye of the
vicious storm he's holding on defiantly cause he won't give up his decency
not sucked in by evil nonsense not weighted by a guilty conscience the
quiet man leads a quiet life hoping for the day he sees the light his reticence
was heaven sent and everywhere he turned he saw the ways of the world and
they were hell bent he kept his virtue to himself peace of mind is a fleeting
thing and he's not sure when he comes across it peace of mind is a fleeting
thing at least sometimes he can enjoy it, that's more than they can say
cause they don't change their evil ways more than they can say cause they're
trapped in the storm they created the quiet man could say he's seen so
many lives decay but he chose to never spread his word so when he's gone
his virtue fades away.
Drastic
Think of where you came from think about your past
wouldn't you look ridiculous selling out at last don't bite more than you
can chew in the search for the perfect you don't bite more than you can
chew you gotta be true, you gotta be true don't bite more than you can
chew in the search for the perfect you don't be drastic, don't be drastic
that could be me that could be you no one is immune cut some slack before
you mock those trying to improve we've all been there too we always pull
through we've got to learn humility we won't make the same mistakes.
(Just A) Patsy
Put defenses to rest when justice becomes moot
defy - let others follow suit to start the uprise is to start the war paranoid
conspiracies galore what's the point to maintain your innocence what's
the point to play into their game what's the use to even try any way pigs
that are out to put you away just a patsy played for a fool crooked games
are what they're playing lying, cheating, self defeating crooked games
are what they're playing accusations so demeaning, played for a fool crooked
games are what they're playing lying, cheating, self defeating crooked
games are what they're playing accusations forcing you to put defenses
to rest.
