Familial Wound
01:45
|
|||
Suffering, dehumanized
visions flashing through his eyes
stolen youth of your begotten son
watch him turn his back on everyone
There's conditions to the love you give
torment, punish your own kids
plant the seed of shame and guilt
wreck the home that you've built

Cross to Bear
01:17
|

My cross to bare
my wound to bleed
raised to hate my anatomy
Ashamed of my body
ashamed of my mind
alone in my room
I spent all my time
Locked inside
Poisoned my light
crushed like a flower
kicking me down
steal all my power
My cross to bare
my wound to bleed
raised to hate
my anatomy

Coward in a Suit
01:05
|
|||
A mother
a daughter
a sister
a son
Discarded lives
by a wreckless politician
Sits somewhere on a yacht
guilty and cheap
while in a distant city
bodies burn in the street.
Swallow your shame
and bide some time
bury your guilt
stuff it with pride
But in the end
it's always the same
caught in a spiral
of labor and pain
nowhere to go
and nothing to gain
caught in a spiral
of labor and pain

Luxury Condos
01:23
|

High rise condos
in a row
as the city suffocates in smoke
plumes of smoke cover the sky
as madness unfolds before our eyes
Filth fills your lungs
Luxury home
High rise condos
Lined in a row
Terror, confusion
lack of sleep
and our hope for the future,
we cannot keep
Plumes of smoke cover the sky
as madness unfolds before our eyes
Then my fears, take ahold of me
lost all autonomy
slipping further into dystopia
as we give in to hysteria

Phantasm
01:35
|
|||
Dreaming of a brand new start
but my wounds are gaping
with a bleeding heart
and I ruined my body
and abused my mind
I'm getting older, wasted all my time
My inner child is pleading with me
to pick of the pieces and gain clarity
But I wipe my eyes and I push it down
the monkey on my back wants me to drown
and It's a lesson learned everyday
It's a lesson learned and we all changed
I want to touch
I want to taste
how it feels to be beyond this place
You won't learn if you cannot grow
and you will never be heard if your heart won't show.

Ishmael
02:18
|
|||
Knitting needles
making knots
there's an ache inside
as we begin to rot
Placed my pain on a pedestal
gave power a new name, it was subliminal
Don't want to work to gain, I'll be a criminal
They gave our pain a name, it was subliminal.
The seed of freedom repressed in us all
and our patience, fleeting as we wait for the call
This endless cycle it's all that we know,
The longer we remain,
The more apathy grows
Culture built on ugly agenda
without man, would there be no gorilla?
A beaten path
of genocide
Endless war
We all turn an eye

Final Test
01:24
|
|||
How's it feel
Disintegrate
sign the deal
seal your fait
Put your worth
on a shelf
lick your wounds
refuse help
In your dreams
they lay to rest
your final hour
your final breath

Kiss of the Whip
01:23
|
|||
Kiss of the whip
whip me into shape
swallow your pain
you're in an ugly state
Kiss of the whip
don't try to hide
embrace the kiss of the whip
and you'll learn to survive
Kiss of the whip
put me in my place
you feel small
but you got your mothers face
swallow your pain
don't try to hide
embace the kiss of the whip
you'll learn to survive
