Waiting
03:18
|

I’ve been waiting for something but who knows what
Deep in remission I can’t figure out
Where the flames of old days and my rage ended up
Passion for passion just isn’t enough
I don’t give a fuck
Like when you said you’d die for this but you died of old age
Claimed you bled blue but it was fucking red
It scares me to death that I could end up the same
I’d rather die young than to reclaim your fate
At the end of your days with your last war waged
Was it accomplishment or guilt that your last breath exhaled
Were the battles that you chose really worth all your time
Is it paralysis or forethought that weighs on my mind
I believe we choose our fate, mine’s still left up to make
I want to look back one day at a better place than was left to me
It’s time to shake off that indifference, wise up, make a stand

The Law
02:22
|

Lenders foreclose, we’ve lost our homes
Employers don’t hire, we’ve lost our jobs
They get away with it, they get away with it
We’re all down here together with our fists in the air
Our songs in the streets don’t find penthouse ears
They get away with it, they get away with it
The law of the land states that any man
Who commits fraud’s a criminal with jail to be had
I haven’t seen those charges filed yet
No I haven’t seen those charges filed yet
Millions of people who are down on their luck?
More like millions of people who’ve been had and fucked
They get away with it, they get away with it
We keep our heads down and we continue on pace
We rise everyday but we don’t do a thing
They get away with it, they get away with it
There’s no oversight
If it were you, you know you’d be doing time
But the suits don’t pay for their fucking crimes

Date Night
03:34
|

Do you wanna go out?
Do you wanna go out screaming?
Do you wanna go out?
Do you wanna go out screaming?
With your head in the air, and your knees in the dirt
With your head full of lies about a heaven and an earth?
I knew before it got cold out
I knew before the lights went out
The other side’s a lie, no eternal bliss
It’s a short fucking trip we make the most of it
I refuse to be a slave to a hypocrite, I refuse to walk a line that requires me
To raise my hands, protest the things I believe, cause my brothers and my sisters any undue grief
The time will come when we’re fading
The time will come when we’ve hit the bricks
When the time comes for you to punch your final card
Will you die for yourself or an unavailable god, god no

Mortal, My Blood
04:12
|
|||
I dipped my head in a bucket of blood and came out with clean, dry skin
If I had another chance and my hands weren’t tied I’d be willing to do it again
Hold your mortality close to your heart but don’t let it lock you up
I don’t desire the life or approval of a deity, don’t get stuck
Every night when you’re on your knees, with your hands clasped tight, begging desperately
There’s no answer
Every night you pray silently but your words aren’t heard, they’re said earnestly
There’s no savior
I ran my hands all across a street that was full of broken glass
The river of blood that flowed down the side near the curb didn’t have a drop of mine
It’s the wandering mind of the curious man that turns his back to naked faith
Unquenchable thirst sparks intensity, when it finds you it’ll be liberating

Stay Immobile
03:32
|
|||
I’m just dying, dying for this all to come crashing down
Lusting for wreckage, begging for turmoil
Give me debris, give me cancerous particles in the air
Invade my lungs, I accept you
I embrace the fallout
There’s surrender, surrender on my mind
There’s surrender, surrender, we can’t keep crawling at this pace full time
Crawling oh so slow all the time, we’re crawling oh so slow
If there’s been progress made it’s invisible
It’s too little, too late
I accept it straight-faced
When we had our chance we did nothing
When we had our voice we were silent
Stay immobile
Stay silent

Smash, Retract, Repeat
02:43
|
|||
We beat our heads over again into these bricks
We beat our heads thoughtless and bloody
Smash, retract, repeat
Every chance another damned disappointment
The tests continue with the variables unchanged
Whispers of insanity drowned out by profiteers
So we smash, we smash, we smash
Smash, retract, repeat
There’s not a single bone so strong we can’t break it
