Crisis

to them you are nothing but a tool
an expectable life to use
they just want to bleed you dry
while you search for any way survive
a victim of circumstance
running out of ways to finance
on yourself you place the blame
but you’re just a pawn in their game
they prescribe problems
out of reach for you to solve them
lining their pockets with your addiction
they’ve engineered this affliction
the price of living is now too high
shutter at the idea of just trying to survive
debt pilling up and no one cares
looking for any form of release
now you turn to the streets
seams only in death you’ll find peace
they prescribe problems
out of reach for you to solve them
they don’t care whether you live or die
to them you’re just a dollar sign
the price to live scares you more than pain
shoveling out cash while you digging your grave
you don’t fit the parodical
a crisis built to watch you fall

Slow Violence

slow violence
humanity a virus on a dying rock
a race so parasitic that it destroys itself
do you not see through their lies?
or do you consciously sit by?
you’re either with me or you’re against me
there is on middle ground it's time to pick a side
excuses start to run thin
and you yourself can’t find a reason
and I won’t hear your words of slothfulness
is it kindness? no it’s common sense
through indoctrination
it is justified
but here is where I draw the line
left with ash and decay
as a people we have strayed
this violence done comes at a price
a war at which there is now two side
this is bigger than me more important than you
or the excuse of a life that you hold on to
it’s black and white there is no gray
the battle we're fighting starts today
our future is bleak and you don’t seem to see
that every life you take shaves off my empathy
prepare yourself for revolution
you’re the problem. I’m the solution.

Unfamiliar Ceiling

staring at an unfamiliar ceiling
numb now with no feeling
my will to live is shrinking
am I weak for even thinking?
that it might be my time
no sound, no touch, no mind
spiraling down further inside
there’s nothing good i will find
I lack strength to carry on
only the selfish path shown
trust, the first step to betrayal
love, leads to hate and will fail
they asked, "what lead you here?"
distrust I just want to disappear
just want to make it end
pray these pills start to mend
pressure building every day
this is my only escape
my one escape
I lack strength to carry on
only the selfish path shown
staring at an unfamiliar ceiling
sedated I’ve lost all feeling
sinking further into this hell
days feel like months and this is like a cell
wish I could go back and finish the job
the fight to survive has gone on too long
but then she came in with tears in her eyes
knowing her son tried to take his own life
... so now I fight
I’m still here despite
because darkest shadows
are cast by the brightest lights
so now I choose to fight
I remind myself there’s still a reason to live
and when you feeling weak I hope you find solace in this

Remember?
01:40

looking back at all the choices you ever made
I should have seen this coming from a mile away
remember when you said you'd be edge forever?
time won't change things 'cause you're the same
life's not hard you're just soft give me a better excuse
crushing under inconvenience well I for one refuse
remember when you said you'd be edge forever?
time won't change things you're still the same
you were always the weakest link in the chain
no wonder you're breaking
and I don't need initials to name this song
you're a sellout and you know who you are
but I'm still straight edge
