Dissection for Sport
02:59
|
|||
|
You bleed, repeat, creating
A heartbeat that depletes for nothing
A new noise, a new void left empty
It destroys any joy from anything
Screaming no one hears
Movement no one feels
Dissection for sport
Fuck me for everything
Chasing a life that won't ever lead to anything
Fuck me, fuck you, fuck everyone else too
You bleed, repeat, keep healing
A heartbeat that depletes all feeling
A new noise, a new void lost dreaming
It destroys all the joy and meaning
Take what you want from me, on display is another autopsy
A dive into the abyss of misery, slowly bleeding out over and over again
What do you want from me, another cut mixed with gasoline
For public safety I've been quarantined, in a cage I built out of my dreams
Always needing more, the hunger now defined
There's no end game, there is no end
A five to nine for a nine to five
There are worse ways to fucking die
Going up when everyone is down
Giving up is the only way to survive
Take what you wanted from me, using me until you get what you need
I don't know if I'll be back here again, every time it's different digging within
Take what you wanted from me, get your fill while I slowly bleed
I don't know how much longer I can take it,
there's nothing wrong if you never fucking make it

Without a Body
04:41
|
|||
|
I know it's not your fault
It's harder than I thought
I had to run away from you
I'm never coming back again
Nothing to keep me in this place
Nothing will start until it ends
A death without a body
A loss you aren't allowed to grieve
A passing that no one can see
Why won't you just go the fuck away
Haunted by the ghost of all the pain
Hidden from sight, the funeral
A final night, stuck in this hole
Reborn in flames, burned by the sun
Under the moon, first breath alone
I had to run away from you
Only so much that I can take
I can't keep circling the same drain
A permanence not a short break
A death without a body
A loss you aren't allowed to grieve
A passing that no one can see
There will never be enough space
Living with the echoes of the pain
Hidden from sight, the funeral
A final night, stuck in this hole
Reborn in flames, burned by the sun
Under the moon, first breath alone
To die does not require flesh
More than one way to end in death
Losses come from necessity
They don't all end in tragedy
I know that this is not your fault
It always ends worse than I thought
I know that this is not your fault
It always ends worse than I thought
The end is a new beginning
The end is a new beginning

Set Yourself on Fire
02:19
|
|||
|
We all want to be left alone, free to be unknown
Dressed in black, ready to attack, afraid of no tombstone
Trying to find a way to fight through all this noise
It's so loud everything in its path is destroyed
We're born into this war, of profitized despair
We're facing the same enemy so we should be pushing back together
Set yourself on fire, give everything that you fucking can
Set yourself on fire, nothing's stronger than when we all stand
We all want to be left alone, resistance to control
Dressed in black with a fucking bat and ready to revolt
Trying to find a way to fight through all this noise
So loud you have to scream so we can hear your voice
We're all in the same trench, dug out for our defense
We're facing the same enemy so we should be pushing back together
Set yourself on fire, give everything that you fucking can
Set yourself on fire, nothing's stronger than these fucking hands
What do you need
What makes you bleed
The pain you carry every day
No one should be able to take your freedom away
It's time, side by side we all will stand our fucking ground
There's more of us than them so lets take back this town
Take back whatever it is that you care about
It's time to end this manufactured droubt
What makes you bleed, the pain you carry every day
You bleed the same as everyone you hate

Fuck Trophies
03:50
|
|||
|
The world is black and it's cold
Eviscerate to control
It cuts down into your soul
A darkness over us all
It came for me, waking up to the reality
All the pain, the misery
The world is bleeding just for you
You think you've got it all beat
Got everything you need
A good job, a new house, and another fuck trophy
You think you're better than me, you figured out everything
You're got your life all mapped out, your success never in doubt
There's no avoiding your fate
Loss does not discriminate
It came for me, like a crash you can't unsee
A slow moving tragedy perpetuated in front of our eyes
You think you've got it all beat
Got everything you need
A good job, a new house, and another fuck trophy
You think you're better than me, you figured out everything
You're got your life all mapped out, your success never in doubt
There's no avoiding your fate
Loss does not discriminate
You live your life while we all die
You carry on while we burn
While you're asleep the water will rise
While you're asleep the water will rise
The world is burning just for you
You think you've got it all beat
Got everything you need
A good job, a new house, and another fuck trophy
You think you're better than me, you figured out everything
You're got your life all mapped out, your success never in doubt
There's no avoiding your fate
Loss does not discriminate
You and me are both sinking on this ship
You and me are both forced to deal with this shit

What You Need
02:39
|
|||
|
You want it, you need it
Every day it continues to hurt
Just one more, this last time
There is no pain that can remain inert
Russian roulette every time you get high
It's worth the rest when it's how you survive
Something you can't control is demonized
The freedom of leaving it all behind
You want it, you need it
There's something beautiful in tragedy
Just one more, this last time
There is no fear when you've been here before
Russian roulette every time you get high
It's worth the rest when it's how you survive
Something you can't control is demonized
The freedom of leaving it all behind
We have to fight each day to stay alive
The need for flight should never be denied
We're born the same
We all live through pain
Put on a straight face and do your best
When you're not guaranteed your next breath
Time to go up, then fall back down
It's not the destination but the journey that counts
Turn on, tune in, and then drop out
It's better to go with than have to go without
It's time to slow, everything down
The joy of getting lost with no plan to be found
Ejection seat, a quick escape
From 10,000 feet you can't see all the flaws
You think you're better than me
You live behind lies you believe
Afraid to face the truth, we are the same
When I need a way, to get through the day, everything's the same
I look for another exit
When I think about, punching in and out, all I live without
I look for another exit
When I'm at my worst, and about to burst, choking on my thirst
I look for another exit
When I want to die, barely scraping by, nothing left to try
I look for another exit

No More Presidents
04:13
|
|||
|
You're just a distraction, the circus under the big tent
You're a side show attraction, no more presidents
Putting out all the fires you started
You are the virus we are catharsis
Get rid of the world's biggest con artist
Lift up the voices we have discarded
You won't stop until you have all taken everything for yourselves
Nothing for us
To all the people making a profit on our backs better watch out
Here we come
You standing in my way, looking for how you can gain
The symbol of the past, no more presidents
Putting out all the fires you started
You are the virus we are catharsis
Get rid of the world's biggest con artist
Lift up the voices we have discarded
You won't stop until you have all taken everything for yourselves
Nothing for us
To all the people making a profit on our backs better watch out
Here we come
You won't stop until you have all taken everything for yourselves
Nothing for us
To all the people making a profit on our backs better watch out
Here we come
It's not a game
Life or death
Burn down everything
Start over
Life or Death
Burn down everything
Start over
Putting out all the fires you started
You are the virus we are cathartic
Get rid of the world's biggest con artist
Lift up the voices we have discarded
You won't stop until you have all taken everything for yourselves
Nothing for us
To all the people making a profit on our backs better watch out
Here we come
You won't stop until you have all taken everything for yourselves
Nothing for us
To all the people making a profit on our backs better watch out
Here we come
Burn down the republic
Burn down the republic
Start with the president
Take back the power we own

In Memorium
04:52
|
|||
|
Powerless so we red in tooth and claw take fire to the streets
Lead to think that we are blind but you are weak
Bought and sold unseen, taking everything
Looking the other way while the ground rots beneath
It is the same story that keeps repeating
The loop returns again, denial dilutes meaning
We stand upon a rock, not alone but as one
Each step leaves a trail, nothing is undone
I want to run as far as I can get from here
A wasteland that's on fire with people I can't stand
A chokehold on us all, there is nowhere to hide
No cost that buys more time, the end won't be denied
Not master of your fate, it's not going away
Free of church and state, impermanence remains
We're all tied to this rock, down to the last drop
Echoes from our past, waves that never stop
I want to run as far as I can get from here
A wasteland that's on fire with people I can't stand
A chokehold on us all, there is nowhere to hide
No cost that buys more time, the end won't be denied
Stuck in a daze, a foggy haze
Keeping us occupied so we don't put up a fight
Stuck on replay, endless delays
Willing to sacrifice our future for a price
It's a new day but I'm stuck here dying with you
You get in the way so we're stuck here dying with you
Nothing they do, nothing they say carries weight
Decaying monuments of yesterday, digging our grave
Powerless so we red in tooth and claw take fire to the streets
Lead to think that we are blind but you are weak
Bought and sold unseen, taking everything
Looking the other way while the ground rots beneath

One Drop
04:01
|

|
Invisibility in twenty nineteen
Continues to lean on a false binary
Your blood is a weapon, what they can't control
Something they fear, something they don't know
Separate, break us down, turned around
Subjugate, wipe us clean, forced identity
Invisibility in nineteen nineteen
Continues to shape our society
Your blood is a weapon, something they know
Something they fear, fire from below
Separate, break us down, turned around
Subjugate, wipe us clean, forced identity
Built on the backs of bodies in chains
One nation under people's pain
On stolen ground with stolen money
One nation poisoned by ourselves
Built on the backs of bodies in chains
One nation under people's pain
On stolen ground with stolen money
One nation poisoned by ourselves
One nation poisoned by ourselves
One nation poisoned by ourselves
We are an active war zone
We are an active war zone
Burn

I'm Shooting Back
03:23
|
|||
|
I'm shooting back
I'm fucking sick of this shit
Only so much, until it's time to resist
I'm punching back at everyone that comes at me
Open your eyes
Waking up to a world of suffering
Gun shots and a bird circles overhead
To a job in a life of servitude
It doesn't matter if I'm alive or dead
It's never ending, stuck in a loop
Killing yourself to live check to check
It's never ending, a constant fall
Feeling the bottom coming knowing that you're next
Take the best parts of me
Kill the drive that gave me any strength
Beat me down so I won't fight back
Misery is a way to distract
The fucking end to this day, looking for a quick escape
Looking for any fucking way to fight endless pain
Take your pick, up or fucking down
Not what you want, what you fucking need
Take your pick, left or fucking right
To each their own, whatever brings you peace
It's not you, it's not me
It is everyone that wants to see you bleed
It's not you, it's not me
Pin us against each other is how they mislead
Everyone that wants to see you bleed
Back us all into a corner slowly take the weakest
Pinning us against each other set the scales unequal
Everything keeps closing in with no sign of it stopping
Back us all into a corner
They want everything to themselves
They own everything we do
Everything we make and everything we know
I can't take another minute in this fucking place
I will never work again for someone else's wage
Ready set go! fucking burn it all to the ground
There is no fix we start from new
Burn down every prison, take down the state
Dismantle the oppressive systems of hate
There is no I, only a we
When they attack this time I'm shooting back
Burn your local bank, the police station
Anything standing in the way of liberation
There is no I, only a we
When they attack this time I'm shooting back
Not this time

Trickle-Down Immunity
03:32
|
|||
|
When a traffic stop is another death sentence
When a wellness check is another loss of life
What crime, can they commit
What crime, they won't acquit
There's no avoiding causing unintended violence
When seeing another murder is met with silence
Hiding behind your faith
The state won't keep you safe
Trickle-down qualified immunity
Benefits from police brutality
Show the way, be the role model
Held in place by white supremacy
A failing mental health does not mean blood
A mass shooter exempted from above
Congress is an accomplice
To criminals wearing a badge
Congress is an accomplice
To home grown terrorists
When the same crime has a different punishment
When the bias of a judge means life or death
What crime, can they commit
What crime, they won't acquit
There's no avoiding causing unintended violence
When seeing another murder is met with silence
Hiding behind your faith
The state won't keep you safe
Trickle-down qualified immunity
Benefits from police brutality
Show the way, be the role model
Held in place by white supremacy
A failing mental health does not mean blood
A mass shooter exempted from above
This goes both ways, don't be afraid to use your weight
You didn't ask for privilege but you better use it
The past repeats because no one wants to abuse it
This goes both ways, don't be afraid to use your weight
There's already blood on these hands
We've already stained this land
Blood on these hands
No one is above you, above me
No one's standing on your dreams
Above you, above me
Standing side by side we're free

Showdown at Sunset
03:31
|
|||
|
It never came, break from the same, tedium repeated every day
Pressure building up, pushing all of us, everything is nothing everything is pain
(Fuck everything, fuck everyone, hide all the hate, hide all the pain)
Fill the void, welcome noise, something to let go
When there's no more, lying on the floor, anything to let go
It went away, wind that would change
Light that would stay, light that remained
The sun goes down, the day light ends
The silent air the night begins
Numb the day
One more drink
One last hit
Tie me off
Swallow it

Smoking Crack

Smoking crack in Tucson Arizona
Drunk as fuck working hard to not be sober
Waking up, throwing up
Hair of the dog chasing away every hangover
This will never end
Each night comes again
This will never, end
Getting fucked at seven eleven
Nothing stops nothing ends in the present
No tomorrow just today to burn away
This is a plea, a eulogy, not a confession
There's nothing that comes even close
Then running away from your home
Smoking crack in Tucson Arizona
Speed it up fill the cup to make it slower
Waking up, already fucked
When nothing goes right, never has and never will
This will never end
Every night comes back again
This will never, end
Getting fucked at seven eleven
Nothing stops nothing ends in the present
No tomorrow just today to burn away
This is a plea, a eulogy, not a confession
There's nothing that comes even close
Then running away from your home
Every day trying to decimate
To avoid stopping so I can't feel the pain
Every day falling further down the drain
Everything blurs when you get far away
Left with the scars of yesterday
The fear of what could come my way
Not knowing what's been pushing me
To self destruct on my way out
Getting fucked at seven eleven
Nothing stops nothing ends in the present
No tomorrow just today to burn away
This is a plea, a eulogy, not a confession
There's nothing that comes even close
Then running away from your home

My Best Friend
05:11
|
|||
|
You wait for me, my oldest friend who needs me
You take from me, when I've hit bottom, my worst
When I'm trapped you come for me
When I'm blind you make it hard to see
Turned around you like to keep me down
When I'm lost you make it hard to sleep
I know you, you know me
By my side, misery
I take the weight, without me there is no you
I fight alone, hopeless for something, nothing
When I'm trapped you come for me
When I'm blind you make it hard to see
Turned around you like to keep me down
When I'm lost you make it hard to think
I know you, you know me
By my side, my misery
Your lungs empty, the grip tightening
Let go drifting, my best friend, my best friend
The floor spinning, the walls crumbling
Let go falling, my best friend, my best friend
This endless void, empty cold, isolates, decompose
Fade away, suffocate,
Anything you do to get through
