Taken, taken, taken away Every plan I put in motion, every sacrifice I made It stays, it stays the same Now the sun is shining but i’m soaked in rain Creeping up and filling in Rot the gut, it never ends Talk about commitment Fail to make amends It never stops, or goes away I rip the weeds from my garden every day Infected roots bare poison fruit It never stops, or goes away I rip the weeds from my garden every day Promise me there’s a plan for my escape Promise me there’s a single shred of faith Can’t rely on change for changes sake Can’t rely on a spirit meant to break It never stops or goes away I rip the weeds from my garden every day Infected roots bare poisoned fruit It never stops or goes away I rip the weeds from my garden every day Manic thoughts Panic states Reflection showing me everything’s the same Look into the mirror Meet the one you blame Look into the mirror Meet the one you blame

Jesus Bones 02:39
Foundation starts to shake From the pounding full of angst And this door isn’t holding back What’s in destruction’s wake I want to know how every bone will break How many breaths are left for me to take I try to hold the light but the darkness lies in wait How do I own it? How do I control it? Suffocate the breathing Cut the air flowing Grinding broken glass in between my teeth Sharpened words dig the shrapnel deep Drive the nail in place It’s the square route in a circle race Stubborn as I stand I am wound tightly, it’s a classic case I want to know how every promise breaks Who’s going to bet against the chips I’ve placed? Fix my focus with these notes on the page I try to hold the light but the darkness lies in wait Grinding broken glass in between my teeth Sharpened words dig the shrapnel deep How do I own it? How do I control it? Suffocate the breathing Cut the air flowing Wounds won’t heal Until the dirt’s cleaned out

It’s their desperation, the risk they take To flee the terror of a failing state Endanger life for just a little taste Of freedom, relief, and a sense of place Militias stalking the coasts for blood Indenturing captives in the desert sun Traversing the open sea To feel the sand’s opportunity All quiet on the western front While they cry for help in the eastern mud Refusing the calls to deliver aid Because the waiving flag is a different shade Suffering in silence Suffering within They break their spirit Break their fucking will Held between no man's land Prisoners divide kin from kin All quiet on the western front While they cry for help in the eastern mud Refusing the calls to deliver aid Because the waiving flag is a different shade When the well dries up The bread has turned to crumbs They’ll look down at the street And use the stones to speak Every window deserves a brick

Mass displacement From a homeland tainted Scars are burned into This rotting landscape Desert, desert Desert maker Traitor, traitor Broke the vows made sacred Barren lands where the life’s been drained The earth’s been cracked and the fields are stained There’s a poisoned thirst from the scorching rays Soaked with acid rain Desert maker Mass displacement From a homeland tainted Scars are burned into This rotting landscape Desert, desert Desert maker Traitor, traitor Broke the vows made sacred Killing what sustains us Defying what will save us It’s all too late We will steal We will ache We will starve We will break The last sun has set

Atlas shrugging at the mouths we need to feed Your blood’s a color different than what we bleed You’ve been trying to prevent it Still living with your hate and resentment They’re selling you’re buying in Fraudulent patriot Blue line penitent Cosplay soldier False American Do you see what I see? Or did they make you believe This lie This lie of liberty Do you see what I see? Or did they make you believe This lie This lie of liberty See the cracks in a fractured State Kneel before your coiled snake Fraudulent Patriot Blue Line penitent Cosplay Soldier False American Do you see what I see? Or did they make you believe This lie This lie of liberty See the cracks in a fractured State Kneel before your coiled snake

C.T.E 02:39
Mind is melting Drip by drip Footsteps approaching Sitting home alone Feel the vibrations Don’t pick up the phone Eyes are twitching Hands are shaking Know they’re watching Every move I’m making Ringing in the ears, it’s too much to take You’ve had a grudge with me, what the fuck did you just say? They’re coming for me Locusts swarm Mind melting Drip by drip Who knows what day it is? Don’t recognize their face The lighting starts to dim The battery starts to drain Turn the volume down Just got to stay in bed The candle’s melted wax You broke your fucking head Mind melting Drip by drip

Collision 02:40
Ties have been severed Sovereign is crumbling Institutions ending We’re searching for something Green turning red Driving straight ahead Steel against steel From the abstract to real Existing on separate planes and never shall they meet With the worst still yet to come we are skidding towards defeat Glass breaking on the blacktop Better steer clear, take the hint This side would rather die then give a fucking inch Red syndicate’s agenda Co-opt the minds of our own You think you can trust them? They uphold the status quo Can’t look away Away from the crash Can’t look away Away from the crash Collision Back up your words Make a claim to the throne Wear the crown of thorns Bastard king Existing on separate planes and never shall they meet With the worst still yet to come we are skidding towards defeat Ties have been severed Sovereign is crumbling Institutions ending We’re searching for something This side would rather die Than give a fucking inch

Twilight hangs over the town Eyes dropping to face the ground There’s a feeling in the air That something’s growing Something’s fuming Something’s moving Something’s brewing Signs glued to the walls The paint sprayed along the halls Read the tags across the doors Soak it in and heed their call Pouring gas upon the fire Smashing statues of the martyrs Are you still one of the living? With your fist up in the street Are you still one of the living? Standing out amongst the sheep Tensions rise with the hatred of speech Crowds assemble, mass panic in the heat The words of one incite the violence of a nation Sliding into chaos, death of liberation Are you still one of the living? With your fist up in the street Are you still one of the living? Standing out amongst the sheep Pouring gas upon the fire Smashing statues of the martyrs The beast is fed Now watch as it grows Power corrupts And we lose control
9.
The only truth is presence It melts away the sin I want the hammer smashing Cerebral hell we’re in Killing the future self With the burdens of our history Killing the future self Not a single moment meant to be Transcend the lies we’re telling Friction internally Detachment from our hemorrhage Set drifting out to sea Killing the future self With the burdens of our history Killing the future self Not a single moment meant to be Hammer Smashing Now the train’s come off the tracks And the knuckles are turning white I’m clawing up the mountain Still the summit’s not in sight Yes I feel the pressure Yes I feel the strain No I can’t escape it It always ends the same It always ends It always ends the same

Are you going to save yourself? A burning sun won’t pierce your shadows cloak Choking out the light you need to grow But I know there’s still some water left to flow Endless routes from endless springs Infinite paths to better things But you gotta be willing to float Open up your arms, embrace the hope But you build the dam, you plug the hole Killing yourself with every day that goes On and on Repeat the lies that you’re telling yourself to live Yea I’m wise to the game The books say it’s a mindset But your mind’s still set the same Walk together with the godhead Still reaching for a hand Always getting in your own way Can’t accept what it demands You can fill the days With the storm and the rain The nights fall silent And it’s deafening Soaking in your guilt, sinking in denial You still can’t hide the termites in your smile Repeat the lies that you’re telling yourself to live Yea I’m wise to the game The books say it’s a mindset But your mind’s still set the same Walk together with the godhead Still reaching for a hand Always getting in your own way Can’t accept what it demands Are you going to save yourself? Change the way you think about pain
