Strife

Heavier than all cannons of war Shadows will fall on us Did you not see, could not believe Louder than all I cried Did you notice the girl The girl you just passed by Did you see her at all The state that she was in A nation of cowards and egos Me is all that counts The smell of misantropia Heavy like smog in this town Do you realize, people are just giving up Civil rights and common sense For the cult of the damned Did you notice The giant meltdown I wish you all knew There's a cancer in the family Self-centered, blinded by the bling Exposed in the absence of a soul Shown off by a grand loveless ego Best to consume Did you notice The giant meltdown I wish you all knew There's a cancer in the family Heavier than all cannons of war Shadows will fall on us Did you not see, could not believe Louder than all I cried A nation of cowards and egos Me is all that counts The smell of misantropia Heavy like smog in this town A nation of cowards and egos Me is all that counts The smell of misantropia Heavy like smog in this town

Undetatched, yet so close How to crawl out of this hole? Gotta find my way out while I can This is my domain One two three four Little children better lock the door One two three four Little children better lock the door Since the day we trusted Elected men to rule Under the impression That we had a choice Time and time again We thankfully accepted All these little changes Took place while we were sleeping sheep One two three four Little children better lock the door One two three four Little children better lock the door Democracy came and then went Trapped in a system that failed All of the effort applied Meant nothing, nothing Democracy came and then went Trapped in a system that failed All of the effort applied Meant nothing, nothing in the end We never once complained Like dead fish go with the flow We never once complained Like dead fish go with the flow The only world that I know Break free, don't mind the mud Break the spell now, now's the time, go! One two three four Little children better lock the door One two three four Little children better lock the door Democracy came and then went Trapped in a system that failed All of the effort applied Meant nothing, nothing Democracy came and then went Trapped in a system that failed All of the effort applied Meant nothing, nothing in the end Understand the power Understand the notion Understand the power Of a raw emotion

And I found you Alive and well And I found you Alive and well In a daydream Fueled by wine Nothing's real When I lost you Eons ago Felt so low Bear my shame Nothing's real How do I tell your friends How do I tell myself That leaving you behind To follow my own mind Was a fatal blow to your dreams How do I tell your friends How do I tell myself That leaving you behind To follow my own mind Was a fatal blow to your dreams When I found out What was wrong Heart was pounding Faster now Bodies heal My mistake Can never be repaired Everything Was my fault Bodies heal How do I tell your friends How do I tell myself That leaving you behind To follow my own mind Was a fatal blow to your dreams How do I tell your friends How do I tell myself That leaving you behind To follow my own mind Was a fatal blow to your dreams

This night open forever This night will never end The sins of our days passed Has come to cul-de-sac A loop ending in nowhere Close to eternity Our hell strange as it may seem Is the life we've lead so far to this curse Suffer eternally Instantly Suffer the ghosts of your past today - yūrei This day Perpetuum mobile Endlessly Suffer the ghosts of your past today - yūrei You robbed people of their things You stole with no remorse Your boss gave you a bonus A check that didn't bounce Obey the mighty okane Obey never betray Obey very important Never mind the lives you gave to this curse Suffer eternally Instantly Suffer the ghosts of your past today - yūrei This day Perpetuum mobile Endlessly Suffer the ghosts of your past today - yūrei Suits and ties Spreading lies Never trust Never trust Suffer eternally Instantly Suffer the ghosts of your past today - yūrei This day Perpetuum mobile Endlessly Suffer the ghosts of your past today - yūrei They will never change They will never change They are the yūrei They are the yūrei They will never change They will never change They are the yūrei They are the yūrei They will never change They will never change They are the yūrei They are the yūrei

Under the influence Over the mountains and valleys Deeper than all philosophy combined Sentenced to death and blessed with procreation Blink of an eye, slight of hand Here in our soul No one dares enter the chambers where everything hatches The everneed is spawned in mind of man And our meaning is unresolved So keep your soul tight inside Here in our soul Deeper than we control Lies our purpose Waiting for us Here in our soul Deeper than we control Lies our purpose Waiting for us Here in our soul Deeper than we control Lies our purpose Waiting for us

Saturday, just before we go Into Babylon, setting all our wit To the side today So that we can pay All the things we think that We really need We go in a loop, buying endlessly Taking bigger loans, crazy interest So that we can pay our loans today For our massive house Biggest on the street You and I should be on the streets Of our town today, protesting the way That we're just a force of consumerism Covert communism As if any ism ever worked You will never be free again Beaten down human Buy what you don't need while it's on sale Consumer formerly known as human Birth, school, work, death, payment is due So I counted every Every little penny Hardly covers any Of the bills I have to pay Headaches every monthly Never any money House is full of bullshit All this crap I had to buy You and I should be on the streets Of our town today, protesting the way That we're just a force of consumerism Covert communism As if any ism ever worked You will never be free again Beaten down human Buy what you don't need while it's on sale Consumer formerly known as human Birth, school, work, death, payment is due
