Unbeliever

You want to hold me back
You want to put me back down
You can relish your own thoughts
You can carry your own cross
You can pray to your own god
But you will not tread on me
Fear of the unknown
Lives inside of us all
Unwillingly bestowed
Faith as a means to control
Means to control
Yeah, you live in denial
So don’t you preach that shit to me
I will wake you from this fallacy
Unbeliever
Blind faith will never be enough
And the world will decay
You’ll deny all the evidence
And you are not like me
You’ll protect your own
And you’ll blame it on me and say
‘God condemns such a sinful existence’
Yeah you’ll blame it on me and say
‘This is how we atone’
Fuck that
A lens of righteousness blinds you from the truth
Safeguarded in scripture and shielded from the proof.
Fear of the unknown
Lives inside of us all
One that we’ve always known
Hate as a way to console
Way to console
Yeah, you live in denial
So don’t you preach that shit to me
I will wake you from this fallacy
Unbeliever
Blind faith will never be enough
And the world will decay
You’ll deny all the evidence
And you are not like me
You’ll protect your own
And you’ll blame it on me and say
‘God condemns such a sinful existence’
Yeah you’ll blame it on me and say
‘This is how we atone’
See me, a heretic in the flesh
Bound for eternal torment
With your god as my witness
I fear not my final breath
For justice and truth preside
I live in virtue to myself
I embrace the calm of nothingness
I’ll know nothing of hell

River of Needles
02:58
|
|||
|
The ebb and flow caressing softly
At first it seems
To nurture the mind
To live in a dream
A chemical lie
A reason to feel
A cure synthesized
A seed by design
Dragging to the river one more time
Another generation buried and their stock goes up
99 percent efficacy and business is booming
Of the lies they’ve sold
The worst being that our health is their pride and purpose
And the lives they’ve culled
We have not forgotten
The victims they shame
The ones who bear the full weight of this river of needles
They are not to blame
Organized in their ranks
Masters of out fate
Treading to the river one more time
The ignominious watching from the shadows
Bartering with our fucking lives
Of the lies they’ve sold
The worst being that our health is their pride and purpose
And the lives they’ve culled
We have not forgotten
The victims they shame
The ones who bare the full weight of this river of needles
They are not to blame

Bound to Malice
03:49
|
|||
|
A vice to feed
In time you’ll suffer
Are you bound to your malice
Have you fallen to madness
Or could it be that you’re just fucked up inside
Will you forge yourself a legacy like the one that’s been left at your feet
Or will the gift of time be squandered
And will the blessings be a waste
Will you neglect the ones who loved you
And let their home decay
On the path I carve through chaos
Any pride I find is stained
By a curse the world’s forgotten
And a past I can't contain
Could I pry myself from malice
With gratitude intact
And the wind at my back
I will stay the same despite our shadows
intertwined
The greatest source of shame inside, his
fate is bound to mine
Insatiable yet silently
A wicked hand grips the heart
Corrupt in its intent
With will to tear our bonds apart
Her nostrils found the scent
On the path I carve through chaos
Any pride I find is stained
By a curse the world’s forgotten
And a past I can't contain
Could I pry myself from malice
With gratitude intact
And the wind at my back
I will stay the same despite our shadows
intertwined
The greatest source of shame inside, his
fate is bound to mine
Are you bound to your malice
Have you fallen to madness
Or could it be that you’re just fucked up inside
Are you bound to your malice
Have you fallen to madness
Or could it be that you’re just fucked up inside

Blanket Statement
03:41
|
|||
|
Blanket statement to all those who ever tried to exploit me,
I am not a by product of my environment
The sweat of my brow is my own, a badge of my intent
Oil for the gears of change, a future to claim
Ambition of what you have shown with bastardized ideals
How much can one person hold, and how much can they steal
The roads they pave lead me home on my path to vengeance
Words that fill their walls of hubris, fill my veins with rage
So what happens when the serf doesn’t feed the fiefdom
When the edge of your blade hurts less than your whip and its flay
And your sins lay bare for the world to see them
Will your hunger pangs
loosen your grip on the reigns
The roads they pave lead me home on my path to vengeance
Words that fill their walls of hubris, fill my veins with rage
The penance of our day and age
We trade spirit for steal
Appraisals set through blood
Bound at birth
So what happens when the edge of your blade hurts less than
your whip and it’s flay
Blanket statement to all those who ever tried to exploit me,
I am not a by product of my environment
So what happens when the serf doesn’t feed the fiefdom
When the edge of your blade hurts less than your whip and its flay
