Take a deep breath while you load up a mag
Feeling the tension take a look at the flag
Think about everything you wanted to have
Is today the day you end up in a body bag
I can’t sleep every night
Dreaming and racing through this endless fight
Dazed and confused
Over and over I die
Trying to wake up just to redo it again
Wake up every morning to a world that’s changed
I open my eyes and watch the sky turn gray
Don’t even try to feel cuz I’m numb to the pain
My mind took a trip but my body remains
My mind took a trip but my body remains
A time bomb tickin’ in the back of my head
A time bomb tickin’ in the back of my head
I got a time bomb tickin’ in the back of my head
I see a flash of light then everything goes red
Have you ever wondered when you’re gonna wind up dead
Just a victim of life waiting for the end
The greatest feats of the human race are often tainted by corruption
While the manipulation of the people by its leaders
Have created rifts that grow with more conviction and wider
each passing day
A smoking barrel and the taste of hot lead
Open your eyes can’t tell what’s alive or dead
Everything is gone there’s nothing left to have
Would you be better off in a body bag
Die die die now you’ll never reply
Stick to your guns while I punch you in the eye
Take my body and remove the soul
Nothing says submission like removing control
Look at my reflection and my face has changed
My skin is raw and I begin to fade
I try to forget but all I feel is pain
My soul took a trip but my body remains
My soul took a trip but my body remains
A time bomb tickin’ in the back of my head
A time bomb tickin’ in the back of my head
I got a time bomb tickin’ in the back of my head
I see a flash of light then everything goes red
Have you ever wondered when you’re gonna wind up dead
Just a victim of life waiting for the end
Don’t die for the cause of a greedy pig
You had no choice now you’re in a grave
Burn
You’ll burn for this
Death and despair
Don’t die for the greed

Compulsivity
01:50
|
|||
The United States of Hypocrisy
I’ll say whatever you want if it benefits me
The plight of the people turned into a slogan
Lining the pockets of a system that’s broken
Well I’ve had just about enough of all your compulsivity
What qualifies your position, total inadequacy
You got the big guns, one ton, professional opinion
Every time you start that shit I wanna tear it down uh
All these echo chambers keep dividing us up
Distracting us all from the truly corrupt
Throw that virtue signal up until we forget
Another empty promise and one more regret

The Reflective Glass
03:37
|
|||
Sometimes silence is the loudest sound of all
Thoughts ricochet inside your mind
Bounce off every wall
One life long search for the right thing to do
Countless paths in your sight
Which one to pursue
A deep rooted hunger thunders through the veins
A thirst for knowledge
Drives the life it claims
We all came to be
We will cease to exist
Make the most in between only if we persist
Step in front of the reflective glass see who's staring back
Peer inside the pupils into the soul, then you'll know the path
This too shall pass

Rise Up
04:19
|
|||
There you go again you put the
Bait on a hook and then you pull it away
Leave us, reaching for air
Trembling glassy eyed in shame
Who made you king and captor?
We never agreed to this
This isn’t the life you promised
Born leader or hypocrite
Where does your loyalty lie?
Or do you lie for loyalty?
This is a condemnation
No longer complacent
See the forest for the trees
Break out of our ignorant bliss
We don’t need your help
Consider this a bridge that has been burned
Cuz we can build it better by ourselves
Consider this a new breath of fresh air
Get out of our way
There you go again believing
All of your own lies behind a disguise
Too afraid to face your fears
So you deceive us
As you fall so shall we rise
This is an invitation
Rise up, never quit
Saw the forest and burned the trees
Stoke the fire while flame is lit
Rise up

The Changes We Ignore
03:02
|
|||
It doesn't matter, It doesn’t matter
It doesn’t matter how much we know
We keep on going, we keep on going
We keep on going down the same old road
Nothing is gonna, Nothing is gonna
Nothing is gonna change
Until we replace the ones causing the pain
You know I wish I could do more
To make the changes we ignore
It's gone on for far too long
The point of no return ain't far
We need to find a better way
Than starting wars and thoughts and prayers
I think that most of us concur
The greedy few consume us all
Do I have your attention yet
I think it's time for some fires to get lit
Fan the flames on the funeral pyre
The end is coming rapid fire
The world is burning
And time is frozen
If we don't come up for air
We'll all be drowning

Into the Eyes
02:56
|
|||
If you look into the eyes
Of all the ones you despise
I bet you’ll see their souls
Take your time
Where’s your heart
Were you blind?
From start
Or did you lose your way?
Why don’t you value your life?
Why do you cause others strife?
Isn’t there something you need?
That won’t keep fueling your greed
When you look into the eyes
Of your reflection inside
Can you even see your soul?
What makes you
Hate so much?
Do you have life
Without love
It’s not too late to
Turn it around
Every time you hide, behind your faith
I see a weakness
I see a fake
Fighting a war, you’ll never win
Fight for a cause
That’s out of date
If you need someone to fight
I’ll put my fists up tonight
Nothing about you is right
So let’s see what you got

Remove the Pain
04:59
|
|||
Just being alive, can break your heart
We’re all a witness, to suffering
Wish I could lead, more than one life
So I could give, everyone everything
Some nights I can see the demons
They visit me in my dreams
So I look to them for guidance
To tell me what this life really means
If I could cast out a spell that would remove the pain
I’d wake up each morning just to do it again
How can we trust, what we’ve never seen
Is this the life that we’re supposed to lead
Try to see the world, through another's eyes
We all keep secrets, and tell ourselves lies
The grass is greener, when we give it time
How can we grow, If we can't empathize?
Where is my will
Where is my voice
Where is the proof
I have a choice
Where is our will
Where is our voice
Where is our will
Where is our voice
Where is the proof that
We have a choice

Insomnia
03:57
|
|||
Won't somebody tell me why
Why this feeling just won't go away
(Good and gone as the day is long, but at night it stays)
My heart starts beating faster
And my hopes, they begin to sink
(Chemicals rush into my brain and I begin to think)
I'll never sleep again
It feels so hard to breath
I just need to scream
I can't fall asleep
(Someone help me)
Heart is beating fast
I just can't relax
Everything is black
(God please help me)
Won't somebody tell me how
How it is I got to be this way
(Anxious and I'm so afraid, I'm my worst enemy)
Now it's at the point where I would
Get down on my knees and pray
(I'm so tired and alone, when will I be okay)

Absence of Existence
03:20
|
|||
I want, something
That does not exist
Although, it did
At one time
Body, nor soul
Can be blamed
The burden lies within my mind
Can somebody tell me how
How can I get it back
No limit to what I’d do
If only I could have it back
I lie, awake
Night after night
Shuddering, shaking
My mind won’t stop
Racing, pacing
Can’t settle down
There is no outlet for the pain

Stay Alive
02:19
|
|||
Stay inside, stay inside
You’re gonna die, gonna die
Stay inside, stay inside
You’re gonna die, gonna die
Ten million questions but nobody’s got an answer
Creeping across the world taking over like a cancer
All these politicians thinking maybe it won’t get to them
The writing’s on the wall and it’s time for better leadership
Now the body count is rising
And we’re painfully aware
Everybody’s downsizing
We had plenty of time to prepare
Stay inside, stay inside
Save a life, save a life
Stay inside, stay inside
Save a life, save a life
If you're thinking that it's too late you've got it in your sights
Pedal backwards as they mitigate, neither side is right
If you're thinking that it's too late you've got it in your sights
Pedal backwards as they mitigate, neither side is right
If you pick a side, you ain't on mine
Now you see how fast
That everybody acts
Against a threat that don’t discriminate
