I see the end begin I watch the sunset burn Through the gas-soaked rag of dissent Injustice at every turn I’ll light it up! Walk the edge Of right and wrong Sacrifice the fucking waves Lit by tears Lit by rage I’ll fight tomorrow like I did today Forward, out of the fire From the ashes I rise With love, I will survive That which I despise

Back on the wall So let them know I choose my own way to burn For the ones with their back to the wall This one is for you For those who stand in the way of progress I have nothing for you But anger And resentment That’s all you need To Carry out The burden You left for us I won’t let you bury me

Mouth like daggers. Inhale the pain. Stabbing my cheeks. Thoughtlessly trying to speak. Should go home, be alone. Quietly staring into nothing. Mind believes what it believes, no one wants to be around me.
6.
I can’t get any words Straight in my head Everything is just A stupid fucking mess My back against the wall The harder I stand the harder I fall Getting up won’t make them believe The harder you stare the harder you breath Ground under my feet I can’t cry I can’t speak You’ll never forgive me You’ll just fucking leave Can’t get words straight in my head My mind is a stupid mess I tried to be there I tried to be free But you’re the one That will never need me You’ll never free me.

Face left blue, vindictive scream. I don’t want to know. I see. I’m blind. Stick with my kind. Right all the time. Playback, rewind. My own placebo. These echos all around me. They validate my crimes. I’d rather bleed than ever cede to attempt some kind of alien approach. I’m fine. And I hate. And I’m scared. Like hell I’m not, What stupid thoughts. But maybe not, My mind’s so fraught. Is there something, Something shared? Are we the same? Two sides of the same coin. Not white, Not black But grey? Now it’s clearer. And there’s less fear. And now I finally see. Escaping these bonds, of futility. Emboldened by a lack of truth and proof and still-born narratives. Upheld by whims. A Gentry of keyboard masses. When in reality what we all want, It spans across all classes. Freedom to think. Freedom to choose. Freedom from harm when expressing your views. Freedom to be. Freedom to be. Freedom to be. Freedom to be.

grass isn't greener on the other side. when you're livin' your whole life like a lie. cryin' bout your first world problems. were all in the back seat just watchin'. I always wanted to tell you that I hate you. entitled brat think the whole word owes you. a live feed of a car crash indeed. so thirsty for attention have to post everything. my god it has to be so lonely. you paint a picture but its all so phony. cause all those followers they don't mean shit. don't wanna watch but we just cant quit. do you ever stop and think... I should probably take a break. how could you there's content to share. we all live in your world we all breath your air. post what's on your mind. tell us what to buy. capture all the times. what an exhausting life. and just like every other come and go sad fad from the internet... you'll die soon and just like every other come and go sad fad from the internet.... not soon enough

How did we get here? Because we think we aren't there. How did this happen? We looked the other way. Not by our intentions, they gave us distractions. They fucked our humanity and threw us away. My time is spent. Mind mind is spent. My life is spent searching for a way out. Limbo with satisfaction. Am I doing enough? Plagued by no reaction. Only awareness will kill us all.

One last walk in the cold night, electing thoughts in passing headlights. Before the dawn can claim the praise, the billboards beg me to repent again. I beg their words to let me in. “Let our hearts be broken.” But we can’t understand. There’s no way in when the locks are broken. We lose the fight when we start retreating, hiding from the consequence of time. There’s no love in a bliss that’s fleeting. We await the consequence of time. So long, farewell, all’s lost on the consequence of time. I can’t see it, only feel it. This is loss is a consequence of life. All’s lost on me. All’s lost on us. I’ll let these hands be tied so you’ll know how little I’ll fight. Dragging chains at rusted gates, it’s like I’m almost out of blood to bleed here. All this running comes to a close. I finally see the depths take hold to pick and choose what I can recall in hours that chip at the edge of your soul. There is nowhere to go. All’s lost on me. Where’s love when bleeding? All’s lost on a bliss that’s fleeting. All’s lost on me.

An abundance of black clothing Does not make you ready for a funeral In the safe stupor of youth You make hopeless promises When God appears to look away You, my dear friend, stayed out of His gaze For far too long He couldn’t save you And I couldn’t face you ‘Cause it’s not so easy And I’m not so strong I remember every song we wrote For nobody but ourselves Every story we told And tattoos in gold The lost boys never get to grow old Tell me, what is closure when You still speak to me in my dreams And when every word I’ll ever scream Comes from you? It’s what you didn’t know that killed you And what I’ll never know that’s killing me Was this an accident? Or was it your intent To leave this land behind and finally fly free? This isn’t what I meant when I said, “I hope we never grow old.” I remember every song we wrote I remember every story we told I will grow up without you ‘Cause the lost boys never get to grow old

I did a drug, thought that it would help, It didn't I did another drug, thought that it would help It didn't I did more of the first drug, no difference Thought this time that things would be different Days turn to weeks Weeks turn to months Can't get no sleep, can't stay warm I can withdraw, alienate myself from everyone That might teach them some kind of lesson That might show them how much I care It was the best I could come up with alone How do they expect me to do things Restless, consumed, and non-moving Harmless, shamed, and under control Just the way this death machine wants me I was a little bit drunk when I wrote this Only the dog here to notice

sing with me tonight I will keep you close my voice is yours your soul alive let me carry you home I remember

Tell me what remains of all those statements made. Explanations fall so short of the truth. I've heard it all before a million times. Excuses run so thin. They make me sick. My ears are deaf to you, so you can save your breath. When it's all said and done I'll still be here and you won't have enough fingers to count the years. My empathy is lost, my understanding is not coming back. Commitments carved of the thinnest glass, it's just a matter of time before they crack. I put my fist through your empty words. I put this ink under my skin. I'm not giving up.

Vicious world breaks you down takes away your breath Underneath your paper skin you have nothing left Push yourself down into a box, put up on a shelf Sitting back just to witness it done by everyone else Stand on the side, waiting for your time, just to feel alive Passing you by! Stand on the side, dragging your feet, you fail to question Struggling inside Living in silence, buried in regret The choice is yours, let's not forget Waiting for the moment to be yourself Witnessing the world through someone else Stand on the side, waiting for your time, just to feel alive While the world keeps passing you by Stand on the side, dragging your feet, you fail to question Watching them rise, watching them rise....dying inside Watching them Rise! Lost in confusion, a fantasy of who we aught to be Release the fear letting go of what keeps holding me...down No more waiting! This is the time!

We’ve been duped by this artifice The myth of advancement But progress only leads To power’s expansion We use their tools in turn, they use us We serve, produce and we become products At what cost do we accept this fate? Integrated in the web of machinery We sacrifice all that we have At what cost? At what cost do we accept this fate? AT WHAT COST? Progression. Production. Control. Alienation. Degradation. Wreckage.

Broke free with the pull of a trigger And it started a war It took every bullet I had Just to even the score It was never a fair fight Someone had to retreat Forever was a peace we never meant to keep No end No begin No lose No win Tie it off peel back the skin Can't stop the rot Cut off the limb The sun don't shine here anymore The sun don't shine here anymore

Weight of the world All I feel What will it take For these scars to heal My heart to turn to steel Sick of your sympathy This place is killing me All I know Long to see Freedom from this stark reality Slave to the ways I torture myself each and every day Give me the poison that I crave Vicious cycle, this won’t ever change Sick of your sympathy this place is killing me All I know, long to see Freedom from this stark reality Bite down and grit my teeth The pressures on, so I search for the strength to carry on I may be down, damned and diseased And the situations looking bleak Nothings ever too far gone I find the strength to carry on I may be down damned and diseased Life tries to bring me to my knees The anxiety is crippling But there is no defeat in me

those who gave words without something done pave the roads never led to anyone all that counts is what we're leaving with but don't waste a raised fist if it opens it is empty something placed replaces what was missed it's when you can look back after giving to an end it's going your own way and bringing who you can a pledge to none without the other we're all writing in sand but you can sign with another as days pass you will still have the difference I could never survive with abandon without lyric I never thought you'd love to hear it some will leave and we aren't to blame even with distance we still feel the same I will carry that weight when there's no place for home save this place that we are

This black hole sucked me in. I feel myself going under, darkness seeping in. I’m sick of all the sadness, so tired of all the pain. Looking for a release, wanna rid myself of shame. Just give me some catharsis in all my dark days. Just give me some hope—things won’t remain this way. Give me some self-confidence to stop playing this game. I owe it to myself to live through all this pain. I want to be the remedy to my own self-hate.
