(It seems the time has come)
I embrace my position in this system
I am fine wasting my time
(You feel it in your spine)
I submit to the keepers of my mind
Don't try to run
There's nowhere to hide
Cuz I'm just a cog
In this filthy machine
Give me the drug
Sweet, seductive release
(wasting my time, am I wasting my time?)
(Indeed the time has passed)
I deny my position in this system
I am done wasting my time
(It's broken down your spine)
Don't give in to the keepers of your mind
There's nowhere to run
And too much to fight
Cuz I'm just a cog
In this filthy machine
Give me the drug
Sweet, seductive release
I'm just a cog in this filthy machine
Give me the drug God, I need this release
You're just a cog in this filthy machine
you need the drug gonna set yourselves free
I deny my position in this system, I am fine
Deny your position in this system, wasting time
Deny your position in this system til you die
(wasting my time)

Cycle of the Self
04:08

I've come back again to life
All my memories have died
Where is this place I have come to?
And what the hell am I supposed to do?
All these fears make me stray
From the path away from me
I am here searching for
The answers that will unlock the doors
I've had enough of these cycles that rewind
and it's my hope that this life will be my last ride
I have been here now a while
Despite misleading me, I survive
This world is a hell that is cozy
Addicting me, and now I'd like to stay
All these tears pave the way
To a path straight to me
I have been searching for
The answers that can open doors
I've done my time with riding cycles in reverse
And these comfort zones are nothing but a curse
I will be searching for
The answers that can open doors
I've done enough of living cycles of myself
And at the end will I transcend to something else?

Hit and Run
06:15

|
Lights out in the crosswalk
You blindside me
Lying facedown in the street
With my broken teeth
I'm bleeding out I see you've gone
This is a hit-and-run
Someone will call for help
Someone will save the day
But nobody's moving
No one has a word to say
I read your eyes they said "You're mine"
The pace was steady all seemed fine
I just needed time
Hindsight makes this ache
Like a pounding heart full of terror
And I won't stand for watching you
Fade away in my rearview mirror
Broken down and gasping
No recourse will come
Inaction is what brought me here
to this hit-and-run
Nobody's made that call
Concern grows in their eyes
Still, nobody's moving
No one thinks that I'll survive
I read your eyes they said "Entwined"
But those were lies
This impact is hard to describe
Hindsight makes this sting
Like the burning blink of a fever
And I am helplessly watching you
Fade away in my rearview mirror
I never knew you suffered silently,
You pined for me now it shows
Eroding from the inside,
It swallows me whole
To think I've died to you
Don't let go
Not knowing what you needed
I buried my soul
So much for happy endings
This dies out in the cold
Hindsight Makes this burn
Like the dressing ripped from a flesh wound
And now I see you shrinking away, away yeah
Hindsight sheds bright light
On my choices that pushed you so far away
And now you have disappeared
In my rearview mirror
My rearview mirror
My rearview mirror
My rearview mirror
My rearview mirror

The Veil

Because it's hard to see
We are the enemy, it's clear
No, I won't, no, I won't live in fear
This is unraveling the veil
Behind that cloth disguise
Is an evil face they want to hide
Is it so hard for you to see
How they have gained control
And how they refuse to let you know
That they manipulate your mind
And we will be their pawns
As long as we still let them lead
They want all of what we got
They are tearing us apart
Because its hard to see
We are the enemy it's true
How is this so lost on you?
There must be some way
To make all this crystal clear
No, I won't
No, I won't live in fear
Now that you've seen behind the veil
Look at those sullen eyes
They're designed to hide with smiles and lies
I know that this is hard to see
Undoing their control hinges upon if we agree
That they manipulate our minds
And we remain their pawns
Reacting to a toxic feed
They want all of what we got
They are tearing us apart
They got all the things we want
They are slowly killing us
Because it's hard to see
We are the enemy, it's true
How is this still lost on you?
There must be some way to make all this crystal clear
No, I won't
No, I won't live in fear
Replace all the leaders and make them the past
You say the same shit over, and over
Empty promises you know you'll break
Just to maintain your position
And cover your ass
Now it's not so hard to see
We are the enemy to them
They want you to hate your friends
The window's closing fast
This may just be my last
Chance for hope, chance to set someone free
Now I've forced you to see
We are the enemy to them
They want you to kill your friends
We have always been
The threat against their throne
Cut my throat, gut my freedom of speech
