Violent by Nature

Music: Skowron, Kelly Lyrics: Lykins Locked away, I'm hidden from your sight Forced to live in artificial light Made to suffer because of what I'm not A casualty in a war that must be fought So here I wait like the ones that came before And when I'm gone they'll need a thousand more You've decided that my life is yours to take So now I'm trapped in a world I did not make Chorus: Let me go Leave me be Stop your tests Set me free In my cell, I’m waiting for your test What hidden law makes you better than the rest You feed me drugs and see what you have made Day by day situation growing worse You weren't content to let nature take its course Now you suffer by the toxins that you use Terrified by the fate that you helped choose Repeat chorus Solo: Skowron Repeat verse Repeat chorus

Music: Lykins, Kelly Lyrics: Lykins Morbid fascination instilled within our young Raised and weaned on cold steel, the damage it has brought Little plastic war toys always within reach Replicas of war, what lessons do they teach Pre-chorus: Minimal control, that's why this land is great Accidental death, the lesson learned too late Escalating tensions sweeping 'cross our land A gun beneath your pillow you fail to understand Images of violence flicker on the screen Taken in by young eyes unsure of what it means Violent heritage echoed in their games Countless shattered lives, no one learns their names Repeat pre-chorus Chorus: Violent by nature (4x) Solo: Lykins Children raised on violence Soon no place to run Setting fights with bullets The nightmare's just begun Staring out the window Your child plays with friends Waving plastic pistols The circle never ends Repeat pre-chorus Repeat chorus

Music: Gulotta, Skowron, Kelly Lyrics: Lykins In their eyes of children is a world I wish could be Their definitions of this life derived so simply There's no one to hurt them and everything is fair The cruelty around them seems hidden from their stare Chorus: In their eyes I see a world where every man is free In their eyes I see a better place for you and me In their eyes I see a world where no one has to die In their eyes I see a place where there's never need to lie But as they grow this vision changes with every passing year Each misconception lost with shedding of a tear A world that once seemed safe is revealed to be so cold In a world disfigured by simply growing old Repeat chorus Solo: Lykins The simple definitions of this world you think you know Will surely start to crumble as your youthful body grows Love for you is simple, it supplies you with your needs In our world it's lethal for it bites the hand that feeds Repeat chorus Solo: Skowron

Music: Lykins, Gulotta Lyrics: Lykins Intro solo: Skowron Solo: Lykins Sometime at an early age a strange call beckoned you It urged you on to selfishness and told you what to do It taught you the word trust was just a tool that you could use To manipulate your target make them do what you would choose And still the call kept haunting you as you raced toward the end You went through life with blinders on, no chance to make a friend The call that you had answered is the one that's known as greed It's tempting lure of empty wealth is one few fail to heed Chorus: Too late to change, too late to change Just like a lemming you're blind to your fate You fail to question until it's too late Too late to change, too late to change Driven by something you don't understand Your lack of compassion is killing our land It made you poison once clear rivers, raze forests to the ground So you cut your expenses at the expense of those around You did not care your every touch brought sickness to the land The only green you care bout is the kind that you can spend Somehow after all this time you make it to the end And stare into that darkest void that longs to be your friend But something deep inside of you resists the need to quit You realize that only emptiness resides within the pit Repeat chorus Solo: Skowron Solo: Lykins You realize the harm you've done and what could yet come true The crimes that you've committed and what you still can do The goals you once held dearly now seem very strange Your new found care for mankind shows it's not too late to change

Music and lyrics: Lykins At the age of 15 your life is defined It's measured in ounces and grams The wisdom of ages is soon pushed away For a crystal that's purchased in drams No time for book learning, the street is your school It teaches a lesson that's real You shun lit and science, that's crap for your parents The only thing real is the deal Chorus: Words on a page, they're so hard to read The will to learn, it's not in your creed Why should I care, I really can't see The teaching of man, they mean nothing to me Sports is the answer that's what you've been told it's the only way you'll succeed A ball is your teacher, replaces the textbook It's the only tool that you'll need History and math are soon pushed away By the glory bestowed by a sport The classroom's forgotten, their teachings outdated You live by the rules of the court Repeat chorus Solo: Skowron Solo: Lykins Although things aren't perfect They're trying their best The choice is left up to you Resist the temptation of the easy way out The promises made just aren't true You've made your decision have given up trying And now there is no turning back Another statistic for our failing system Another that's slipped through the cracks Repeat chorus

Music: Gulotta, Zimmerman, Kelly Lyrics: Zimmerman Talk about humanity, what's wrong and what is right You take a human being and strip them of their life A tormented soul, trapped and left to decay In a controlled environment to die in a demented way Death row, he's awaiting, time just drags by Gas chamber awaits for him to pay for his crime When will the madness end, will it be today What terrible thoughts living day by day Chorus: The crime was committed, forever left condemned Left and forgotten, the fortune never ends Sentenced to death, delayed for seventeen years Left to go insane now death's his greatest fear 15 thousand dollars monthly that we pay To keep him alive, now that's insane Injustice prevails again, it's the American way No wonder we're in debt, why do we have to pay If the death penalty exists to make these convicts pay Kill them when convicted instead of awaiting To wait seventeen years is totally inhumane The crime has lost its meaning, it's ruthless to be so vain Repeat chorus Solo: Skowron Repeat first verse Repeat chorus

Music: Gulotta, Kelly Lyrics: Zimmerman Our forefathers came with a vision and dream, to settle on this land They built a great nation with blood and sweat, to benefit all of man A path of destruction they did not see, they did not understand Live for the moment instead of the future, typical for all of man Chorus: Overpopulation will soon take its toll The growth of mankind is simply out of control Soon no where to turn, we run short of precious land Take our complex problems and place them in our children's hands Living on a dream, a final prayer, future lies unseen Hope to make a difference in our lives, its up to you and me Destroying ourselves day by day, can we change at all Hope for the best and keep on fighting before we take a fall Repeat chorus In the past, wars were beneficial, man's its only enemy Without this devastation we have inequality People live longer than yesterday, their offspring on the rise It's modern science, will it be answer or will it be our demise Repeat chorus Solo: Skowron Repeat third verse Repeat chorus

Music: Gulotta, Kelly Lyrics: Zimmerman Trapped in my mind, the answers you won't find Deep despair, what I feel, lost in time, what I'm feeling Emotions lost all meaning, can not help what I'm feeling Tortured by pain, this agony is so insane Chorus: Diminishing away, day by day A life once fulfilling now stripped away It it's certain I must die I deserve the right to die Thousands of dollars everyday To keep me suffering in a life of pain I lie rotting be disease, eats away piece by piece Just leave me be Living through this Hell, life unravels, just as well Politics of man won't let me die, they just prolong my demise A life I did not choose, but it is certain I will lose A disgrace to myself it I take my family through this hell Repeat chorus Solo: Lykins Repeat first verse Repeat chorus

Music and lyrics: Lykins Forced to deal with decisions you never thought come true Abandoned by the ones you've trusted, no one's there for you Internal maelstrom of confusion, unsure of who you are The things you used in definition didn't take you very far Chorus: The things I felt before I'm not sure if they're there Words which meant so much fall on ears which just don't care Emotions all entangled, it's time to rearrange The seasons pass, emotions die, I'm helpless as things change We often times define ourselves by our titles and our friends We place our trust in fallacies which eventually will end But just like dreams that fade away with every morning's light We're left with only memories, no tangibles in sight Repeat chorus Solo: Lykins Now I find I'm all alone and wondering what is real Insecure of who I am, afraid of what I feel But I'm on the path to knowledge, the darkness won't last longer That which does not kill me, only makes me stronger Repeat chorus Things change Things change Things change Things change
