Isolated by value
I am nothing
Only the glorified
Are bestowed with a name
We are the disease to suffer is to please
These narcissistic animals sit back and watch me bleed
A conscious life to lead destructed by our greed
The selfishness of ignorance now has you on your knees
Silenced never will you speak again
Biased only trusting what you're told
Overthrow your memory
Overload your sensory
Making sense of what I am to be
No future in a life not meant for me
Animals so far from natural
Take from the sacred land
These actions are indisputable
And dismissed by demand
Animals so far from natural
Take from the sacred land
These actions are inexcusable
And dismissed by demand
Scream
Scream when they try to hold you down
Scream
Scream when they try to hold you down
Scream
Scream when they try to hold you down
Scream

Rotation

Rotating with a perspective as stale as the air you breathe
With no developments this constant fear envelops me
Rotating with a perspective as pale as the life you bleed
With no developments this constant fear envelops me
I excelled the motions
Eyes set to kill but void of devotion
Pity everyone but never would I question myself
As a culprit a cog in this wretched machine
When they sold the world to our owners
They knew we all wanted the same
When they sold the world to our elders
They knew we were one in the same
Compromised by their fake advice
Half human and half a device
They advertise this life to you like its a game we play
Could you admit that we are the ones to blame
Admit to your mistakes
Rotating with a perspective as stale as the air you breathe
With no developments this constant fear envelops me
Rotating with a perspective as pale as the life you bleed
With no developments this constant fear envelops me
I excelled the motions
With a mouth full of fabrication
Pity everyone but never would I question myself
As a culprit, a cog in this crooked machine
When they sold the world to our owners
They knew we all wanted the same
When they sold the world to our elders
They all knew
Compromised by their fake advice
Half human and half a device
They advertise this life to you like its a game we play
Could you admit that we are the ones to blame
Admit your fucking mistakes
Succumb to imperfection
Or choke on your last words

Destruction

To anyone who's willing to listen
With an open heart
And an open mind
Initialize
Awaken and arise
It's time to change and restore our lives
Reclaim the world make them suffer their demise
And watch their vile nature equalize
I cant comply, I'll clarify, I'd rather die
Such a promising design
Every penny every lie
Every second wasted in this fucking paradigm
What's the point in grinding my life away
If I am living just to fucking die
Wake to see this golden light an exposure from inside
An expression so benign it could reveal the walls of time
Consuming information ancient secrets
And the knowledge of sentient life
Restricted by our system devised for disappointment
I am so disappointed
I think it's time to stop and live
And free yourself
Reveal yourself
I'd rather be myself and live poor
Than die for their money
I'd rather be myself and live poor than die
Kill them all for their money
Kill them all for their money yeah
Kill them all for their money
Kill them all you psychopath
Such a promising design
Every penny every lie
Every second wasted in this fucking paradigm
What's the point in grinding my life away
If I am living just to fucking die
Wake to see this golden light an exposure from inside
An expression so benign it could reveal the walls of time
Consuming information ancient secrets
And the knowledge of sentient life

Who's got the knife deep in my back
Life's on the line no one to attack but
I gotta fight it's in my blood
Gotta fight for the truth and the light and love
I have a life I need to protect
I have a heart so full of respect but
I feel alone with my thoughts in mind
Everybody around me seems trapped inside
Everyday everywhere I go
No satisfaction in our situation
But contentment for the convenience of living
On account of my pain taking it day by day
There's no way that I can compete with them
I'm just gonna throw it all away
So you sold the world yeah
And everything you own
And everything you are
A hollowed mind
Empty inside
So empty inside
And I'm so lucky just to be alive
Yeah I'm grateful for it all
So grateful I don't want to throw it all away
Wasting my time for someone else's gain
On account of my pain pissing it all away
I have no choice
None at all
This is the way it is
So you sold the world yeah
And everything you own
And everything you are
So useless
It's such bullshit
And I'm clueless

Dear Mother
05:06
|

|
Separated from reality
Solidified in solitude
The silence is deafening
And it leaves me to presume
Mirrors reflecting shattered imagery
Visions that question me and what I've seen
Discover the purpose to uncover the mystery
Deep down inside beneath
Remove the veil from whatever this may be
Our freedom monetized involuntarily
What is free
Who is free
Free from what
Free from who
Dear mother you've shown me such beauty
There's nothing left to hide so speak right through me
Dear mother I'm so fucking sorry they keep on destroying
Everything given to me
Dear mother you've shown me such beauty
I've seen the darker side and they cannot fool me
Dear mother you've shown me the way
Now show them your love and guide us today
Dear mother
Dear mother
Dear mother
Dear mother
Dear mother
Dear mother
Dear mother
Dear mother
