Yeah In the cold dead of night Wrest your self from sleep To face the morning light So Pathologically Trapped in a system that breaks originality In favor of bland safe marketability Middle of a long day Turns into working long weeks What are we doing this for Whose fucking stocks will increase At times we're all just little junkies and whores Clawing scratching unattainable dreams How much can we take To labor and to break Our backs against the system's walls I say smash it fucking down In control of our fate We produce and we create The guns from which we sell our souls I say smash it fucking all How ironic is the plan of our lives Working doubles to survive, to get by A passionless job in a meaningless lie I despise being trite to get by What do you offer? What can you create? What do you contribute? What profit is made? How much can we take To labor and to break Our backs against the system's walls I say smash it fucking down In control of our fate We produce and recreate The cost for which we sell our souls I say smash it fucking all I say smash it fucking down Smash it fucking down How much can we take To labor and to break Our backs against the system's walls I say smash it fucking down In control of our fate We produce and we create The guns from which we sell our souls I say smash it fucking all I say smash it fucking all

Go Picture yourself alone And trapped in a dark flooding room The water is rising up And signaling the impeding doom Kicking at the walls with bound legs Screaming at the world with no voice Breaking your hands against black walls The journey is long And wrought with peril I will be strong This is never-ending Please know I'd fight for you And listening after all this heartache You are my everything I'll simply die for you You are the greatest gift of all, yeah You are so heavenly And so I am tested Punished, broken, dejected Trying to buy you myself Vowing to find a way out Fake positivity All that's left fueling me The pain did not cause any doubt The journey is long And wrought with peril I will be strong This is never-ending Please know I'd fight for you And listening after all this heartache You are my everything I'll simply die for you You are the greatest gift of all, yeah You are so heavenly This I swear, by the blood of my own I will protect you, I could weather any storm This I swear, my heart on my home To love and protect you, to fight each and every war This I swear, it's all that I know To be your example, to stand up when others fall Down Please know I'd fight for you The clouds part And listening after all this heartache The angels sing I'll simply die for you And there you were sitting next to me You are the greatest gift of all, yeah The greatest smile, I will ever see You're everything You're heavenly Please know I'd fight for you The clouds part And listening after all this heartache The angels sing I'll simply die for you And there you were sitting next to me You are the greatest gift of all, yeah The greatest smile, I will ever see You're everything You're heavenly

Hold your breath, enable the sinner When good people go silent, there's no winners Only accomplices and deceivers When good people go silent, there's no winners To me, you're all the same You should be bound and draped in chains A bully, a rapist, it's all the same Overload the boat, don't drag the lake The only thing you're taking from me Is a burning ax to the carotid artery The only thing you're taking from me Is a burning ax to the carotid artery Some heads have gotta roll Cut off the head and burn the body down Burn it down There is a demon living inside of you A demon inside of you Destroy you, I can justify the violence Break through the shame and the silence After so much has been taken away The evil in you should be fully repaid Some heads have gotta roll Cut off the head and burn the body down Burn it down There is a demon living inside of you A demon inside of you And when the pushed push back, we'll see who's who We'll see who's who You will be damned, wasted in solitude Wasted in solitude And in the end In the fires of hell May be your torment Redefine and amplify your constant suffering Jet black your heart Cut out your heart Jet black your heart Cut out your heart There is no justice There is no justice Jet black your heart Cut out your heart Some heads have gotta roll Cut off the head and burn the body down Burn it down There is a demon living inside of you A demon inside of you And when the pushed push back, we'll see who's who We'll see who's fucking who You will be damned, wasted in solitude Wasted in solitude

Disassociate Try not to feel Pay no attention to it It won't seem real A blind eye enables what we quell Then nature takes it course And breaks your will I can't pick up the pieces As fast as you throw them away I can't hold you together If you don't want to stay Don't want to be your light I burned myself so much I died inside So what is left of me? A bitter broken memory Don't want to live your life I can no longer even sympathize With what you've come to be A bitter broken memory Here we are You expect me to face hell's fury I survive Sharing the pieces of your heartache I'm imperfect too, a jaded monster just like you I can barely fake it for me And I won't play the game for the benefit of you I can't pick up the pieces As fast as you throw them away I can't hold you together If you don't want to stay Don't want to be your light I burned myself so much I died inside So what is left of me? A bitter broken memory Don't want to live your life I can no longer even sympathize With what you've come to be A bitter broken memory Don't want to be your light I burned myself so much I died inside So what is left of me? A bitter broken memory Don't want to live your life I can no longer even sympathize With what you've come to be A bitter broken memory A bitter broken memory A bitter broken memory

It's the end of the world and nobody cares We got problems of our own So nobody stares at themselves in the mirror anymore A good hard look can shake you to the core, so Do you know who you are? Part of the solution or the one at fault, yeah Look in your heart Pull the pin, be careful where the fragments go Live for yourself, don't care about collateral Damage and such don’t mean too much When your heads stuck up in your own asshole It's easy not to see (so easy) To be blind to the fact that the problems That lay before us as a we (as a we) Were created by a lack of our respect, so Do you know who you are? Part of the solution or the one at fault, yeah Look in your heart In your heart Do you know, yeah, who you are? In your heart Yeah, do you know who you are? (I do, I do, I know who I am) Part of the solution or the one at fault (Cause today I'm standing up) Look in your heart In your heart Do you know, yeah, who you are? In your heart

Lie down, curl up in a ball You'll never even need to crawl Strive for shit, slave to it You're working for the means to an end Build walls and watch bridges fall So hungry for the new next best Strive for shit, slave to it You're working for the means to an end Does your heart have a beat? Does it just sit in your chest? Crowding your soul, taking space While you wait for a place to decay There is more to this life Than the flesh and the pain Who keeps carving their mark on your fate? While you wait for a place to decay To decay Wide open skies (Wide open skies) A billion dreams or dead stars in the night Exploding cannonballs Breaking down the walls between you and life It's time to open up your eyes To cut all strings and die To draw the fucking line Between the living and alive Does your heart have a beat? Does it just sit in your chest? Crowding your soul, taking space While you wait for a place to decay There is more to this life Than the flesh and the pain Who keeps carving their mark on your fate? While you wait for a place to decay Your greed Our greed Consumes Everything Does your heart have a beat? Does it sit in your chest? Crowding your soul, taking space While you wait for a place to decay There is more to this life Than the flesh and the pain Who keeps carving their mark on your fate? While you wait for a place to decay

There you go, you dumb kid Running your mouth again and again Talking all that shit with a big grin Tripping on words again and again Oh how exceptional the sound Of your word vomit coming out You're getting caught up saying foolish things I don't believe you believe half the shit you say Say what you want, I don't give a fuck I learn things the hard way Lay yourself down on the tracks (lay down) Be crucified by your own words You're no cross bearer You're not a fucking martyr (Just a kid, only a fool) Barely man enough to stand You're no cross bearer You're not a fucking martyr You're no cross bearer You're no martyr The world doesn't need more mindless shit Labeled as unique, there's no heart to it You may never feel it like I feel it You'll never learn, there's no heart to it But you've got the biggest fucking balls Brass ones that drag as you crawl And for some reason, I think you stole them You may be faking after all Say what you want, I don't give a fuck I learn things the hard way Lay yourself down on the tracks (lay down) Be crucified by your own words You're no cross bearer You're not a fucking martyr (Just a kid, only a fool) Barely man enough to stand You're no cross bearer You're not a fucking martyr Say what you want, I don't give a fuck I learn things the hard way Say what you want, we don't give a fuck We learn things the hard way Say what you want, we don't give a fuck We learn things the hard way Lay yourself down on the tracks (lay down) Be crucified by your own words You're no cross bearer You're not a fucking martyr (Just a kid, only a fool) Barely man enough to stand You're no cross bearer You're not a fucking martyr

The falling's out, but we'd be back Like a gunshot that may have hurt less Than the words I caught in the chest as your body rot I tried to catch you but in truth my heart dropped I fall through the floor Hell can hurt like this All the things I'll never say, the way it never plays (Never plays) Out the way I see it in my head The pain, the way it haunts me lingering for days (Lingering) No funeral for what it could have been Paralyzed again, engaged on the auto pilot We can fight it but it's hard to hide it Trying to deny the loss Trying to hide the fact that I haven't slept for days (I haven't slept for days) And you won't stop crying (And you won't stop crying) These moments before dawn I'd rather be dying I fall through the floor Hell can hurt like this All the things I'll never say, the way it never plays (Never plays) Out the way I see it in my head The pain, the way it haunts me lingering for days (Lingering) No funeral for what it could have been All the things I'll never say, the way it never plays (Never plays) Out the way I see it in my head The pain, the way it haunts me lingering for days (Lingering) No funeral for what it could have been I haven't slept for days And you won't stop crying These moments before dawn Feel just like dying But what do I know I'm still here, broken and alone with my fears

Hunted by mindless beasts Haunted by my desire To create and destroy To defy with a smile Everyday is stick and move Either way they’re after you Mediocre, their soulless lives They offer nothing They have no pride They’re always after me Pleading eyes, vacant arms They’re always draining me Needy souls, empty hearts Can’t pull the wool over my eyes (I can still see) I'm so tired but I won't stop moving Fearful my humanity is running away I’m not foolish, I won't stop dreaming I know that I can be better than I am today The pressure builds and I'm starting to break I'm so tired but I won't stop moving Fearful my humanity is running away Away, far from here From all the cowards and fear Far away, from here From all the cowards and fear To push beyond one's self To live in the unknown To push beyond one's self To live in the unknown Can’t pull the wool over my eyes (I can still see) Can’t pull the wool over my eyes (You can’t blind me) I'm so tired but I won't stop moving Fearful my humanity is running away I’m not foolish, I won't stop dreaming I know that I can be better than I am today The pressure builds and I'm starting to break I'm so tired but I won't stop moving Fearful my humanity is running away Go! If you've never been tested Then you'll never see What lives inside of you Is worth more than anything If you've never been tested Then you'll never see What lives inside of you Is worth more than anything And at that moment When I doubt myself I pick my feet up And I hit the ground I'm so tired but I won't stop moving Fearful my humanity is running away I’m not foolish, I won't stop dreaming I know that I can be better than I am today The pressure builds and I'm starting to break I'm so tired but I won't stop moving Fearful my humanity is running away Away Running away

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa (I'm living recklessly) Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa (I'm living recklessly) A black hole, a raging river The void inside of me Compelling me, driving me, I'm incomplete Molding me, holding me up on my fate There's something about The wind in the trees It's haunting to me Despair in the air, anxiety on the breeze There's something about The sound of the waves It holds me under It never takes It's getting the best of me, I'm living recklessly A black hole, a raging river The void inside of me Compelling me, driving me, I'm incomplete Molding me, holding me up on my fate I'm living recklessly I'm living recklessly This hideous creation, self made Beautiful inspiration, I'm plagued (Day by day) I'm hostage to my own creation (Day by day) I'm possessed, an abomination Somewhere beyond And past the point of nothing left It will fuel me on It will give me a new breath, go And from the pages Of ancient prophecy A mythical plague Propels my destiny The betrayer of man Forced a quest for certainty Never asking myself What beats inside of me Never asking my soul What hides inside of me I won't break so easily I choose my own direction I can't stop (No) Can't stop my evolution I can't stop (No) Can't stop this revolution I can't stop (No) Can't stop my evolution I can't stop (No) Can't stop this revolution Go
