You're Mediocre At Best
02:11
|

|
a mundane life is mediocre at best
if that's your case your just a big fucking waste
i’ll step over you on my next move
if that's fine with you then you make me fucking sick
don't sit back
blindly follow a crowd.
you've got one life, one chance
to make this really count
don't change who you are
to be part of their crowd
use your mind and always
think for yourself
easy to get caught up
in this bullshit game
just like that your back in line
with the rest of them
challenge everything
or you will sink fast
break out of your mold
and see it for yourself

you shout catchy slogans
and preach hollow words
why should anyone listen
we know you're full of shit
you’re just another parasite
infecting my fucking life.
where the fuck is your heart?
I'm sick of you
sick of your bullshit
you get behind any cause
that ever comes your way
it's people like you
that degrade those that really care
you are the reason
that i am fucking pissed!
you are the reason that i am fucking pissed
where the fuck is your heart?
please keep fighting,
you're giving me reasons
to hate you
you're shouting all your slogans
and preach your hollow words
give me a reason to listen
when you're full of shit
you’re just another parasite
infecting my fucking life.

decisions made in haste
are poor decisions made
these are your mistakes
they wont go away
don't sit and dwell
on those wrong turns
no one is perfect and
you're not either
existence without risk it just isn't for me
what’s life without regrets?
and take those chances before its too late
everyone has made mistakes
what’s life without regrets?
i don't regret living my life for me
accept what you have done
there is no turning back
there's a reason for everything
you have to take a chance
living in fear
only holds you back
i will never regret
living life for me
you’re not perfect.

One Fist
01:09
|
|||
|
no poetics needed
no four syllable words
i'll speak what’s on my mind
with these words that bite at my tongue
this is all about realism
not some high school fantasy
fall off your high horse
get back to reality
the real people are the ones
that end up mattering most
all we need is one fist.
ONE FIST.
all we need is two words.
FUCK YOU.

Sedatives
01:40
|
|||
|
how many good intentions
does it take
when the thought they carry is as hollow as their effort
all we’re missing is the binding that will amplify our voice
unbound we find ourselves
all we’re missing is the binding that will amplify our voice
unbound we find ourselves
take a step forward now it might be your last
an introduction to decline with a solo cast
words are wasted without actions that comply
so turn around and drive away
your on the couch and your drinking your fill
all were missing is the binding that will amplify our voice
unbound we find ourselves
all were missing is the binding that will amplify our voice
unbound we find ourselves
problem is you
and you will never know
problem is you
you take your sedatives
problem is you
and you die in your sleep
somewhere in this translation
the parts have dissipated
and the sum has become none

Shattered
01:43
|
|||
|
you're lack of self respect is the reason that you suffer
stand up for yourself you’re better then you think
people will use and abuse you to make you feel weaker
you're the only one that can end this viscous cycle
look into the mirror and within your eyes
can you recognize yourself in that reflection
this is a fight within your own mind
no one can do this for you
look at what i'm saying
can you tell me that i'm wrong
the time is now to stand up
and hold your ground
STAND UP.
HOLD YOU’RE GROUND.

I'll Confide
01:59
|
|||
|
these progressions make it easy to define
what’s in your eyes
every time a line is drawn you're on the other side
so i'll confide
i'm sickened by the sight of your face
but that's ok
keeping pace is something i'm working on
soon i'll be pro
the past is bursting at the seams
the weight it carries
is just too much
so now i am done
next time it wont matter
where you’re digging
or where i'm climbing
or even the direction
the place i am will be the place that i'll remain

Waste Of Space
01:29
|
|||
|
it's time i cast my judgment
for you this is the end of the line
every step you take is a reminder
of the things wrong with humanity
sit back and form opinions
for you this is the end of the line
all of the sudden you think you know everything
who gave you the right
who the fuck do you think you are
you think you know what i'm about
you will never understand me
stay the fuck out of my life
who gave you the right to judge me.
STAY THE FUCK OUT OF MY LIFE
you think you know what i'm about
STAY THE FUCK OUT OF MY LIFE

A Virus In The Air
02:17

we all want someone else to blame
we’re all victims, we’re all the same
a million voices, a million names
stripped of their lives and locked away
it's power and struggle to stay alive
and barely get things done to survive
we're all the victim, all the same
we all want someone else to blame
all want something, all need more
no one will win
go wrap the noose around your neck
go put a bullet into your fucking head
don't take for granted your right to think
don't cast aside your right to see
it's power and struggle to stay alive
and barely get things done to survive
we're all the victim, all the same
we all want someone else to blame
you want something, you want more
no one will win
they try so hard to see the truth inside our eyes
they try so hard to see the pain inside our lives
all the victims, all the same
we all need someone to blame
we all want something, all need more
no one wins this fucking war

do you remember how long its been
since your words held any weight?
you don't seem to care about what you said
you think i don't know what's going on
you don't seem to care about how i'm left feeling
you think i'm afraid to react?
don't expect willingness to compromise,
all i see is red
nothing’s getting better
i don't care when i’ll see you again
there's no place for you in my heart
you don't seem to care about what you said
no sense in pretending everything is fine.
you don't seem to care about how i'm left feeling
come near me i'll cut the smile off your face.
there's nothing you can do, don't waste your breath
this is all i've got and you’re in my way.
don't expect willingness to compromise,
this is all i've got and you’re in my way.

i don't know you anymore, you've shown me a side
i never imagined or ever wanted to see
your new words, same as before
how am i supposed to see
what lies behind your crooked smile
i don't feel like i know you anymore
you're a stranger in a foggy past
you don't care about what you said
there's no question in my mind
about what has to happen
i'm not laying down
there's no words you can say to change my mind
its all over now and it wont be back
turned that new leaf with a knife to the back
pushed too far and you think it's a joke.
FUCK YOU FOR NOT CARING
i don't want it anymore
your half truths and bullshit lies
i don't want you anymore
get the fuck out of my face
open your eyes and deal with the consequences
’cause i'm moving on…

Changes

we will change
you stay the same
never clinging to the past
i always look to the future
i won' t stand still
just keep moving forward
don't ever stop
keep pushing on
you may think that i am in the wrong
when it is all said and done
you will be the one who's gone
and i'll look back and i will laugh
WE WILL CHANGE
BUT YOU STAY THE SAME
don't ever stop keep pushing on.

How can you not see the frustration in their eyes?
How can you not hear their adolescent cries
theres children having children
theres children turned to crime
the suit and ties campaign to help
with the kids still lost through guided lines
sometimes I wonder why these kids sit alone and cry
they look for a way out
they wish that they could die
you think your conditional love
will somehow make them see
well they close their eyes again
they're all alone and it's you they don't want to be!
all the restrictions that you made
all the times you made them pay
thinking this will somehow make them learn
you told them they'll go to hell
you told them that they're gonna burn!
Your so called good intentions
force fed interventions
your so called good intentions
force fed manipulation
and with all the restrictions that you made
and all the times you made them, pray
did you really think this would make them learn?

Standards and Practices
01:40
|

Clapping is contagious
I refuse to play this
And my hands are clean
Cause I don't care
Every time I see your face
I find something has been replaced
Some idea or a standard once held up
Why are you here
Were you ever really there
Were you always this way
Did you ever fucking care
Clapping is contagious
I refuse to play this
And my hands are clean
Cause I don't care
Words spoken from a stage
For the mass benefit of rage
Something so much more
But I refuse to let this hurt me
|

Take A Stand
01:31
|
|||
|
I walk alone down this crowded street
Blank stares and vacant minds they all stare back at me
They refuse to think they will never see
There is so much more to life
why wont they realize
Take a look around open your eyes open your mind
wake up you are not a robot
why cant they think for themselves
knowledge is out there how can they keep their eyes shut
The time is now start living your life
Thoughts and actions
go hand in hand
Better get ready
Its time to take a stand
Open your eyes its time to take a fucking stand
|
||||
18. |

I will always stand strong
I will fight to hold my ground
Your resistance gives me strength
My convictions will never fail
But to myself I will always remain true
I don't want your approval
I don't need your popularity
I will say things that you don't want to hear
But I always speak my mind
