1. PEOPLE AS PROBLEMS

The world is free, open your eyes!

In the hour of solace
On the news today
A body for distribution, for the media trade.

You should seek perfection,
You should seek the wise,
You're not fine, be fine, I'm fine.

Suffocated, I'm sick of trying
I've never seen a worse messiah
Desire is wasted, my flesh is fire
Bathe me now in this pyre of lies

What, they say
Dominates my soul
With, Their words
All I hear is lies
With, A change
Honesty will die
Stand, no fear
Battle for your mind

Turning off emotion
They tell me I'm un-safe
But the answers are coming shortly, after these clips of Pain

Inside you're lonely
A cocoon of shame
Feed me please these alibis, realise that lies are lies

I'm suffocated, I'm sick of trying
I've never seen a worse messiah
Death is wasted, my flesh is fire
Bathe me now in the fire

What is over?

What, they say
Dominates my soul
With, Their words
All I hear is lies
For, A cause
Honesty will die
Stand, no fear
Battle for your

What are the words they say?
Tell me the words they fear.

What are the words they say?
Tell me the words they fear.
What are the words they fear to say that make us all see Clear.

What are the words they fear?
What do they want us to fear?
Why do they want us to live our lives ruled by fear?

Tell me the words,
Tell me the words,
Tell me the words,
Tell me the truth!

They hate our minds,
They hate our speech,
They hate our thinking,
They hate what we say,
They fear our power,
They fear our minds,
They fear our ways,
They fear their time.

They our minds!
They fear our ways!
They fear our time!

What,
We say,
Causes change in time!
We,
Will rise,
There is no other time!
What,
We do,
Dominates their mind!
Why,
We fight,
Fucks me up inside!


2. DUMB ANGER

I tell myself it's all because of them,
Burning embers fed by lies within,
An excuse to keep myself pathetic, a blanket warning when I Am alone.

Alone,
Begin,
A tar black stains my one belief-believe

Pull the veil that blinds them from the sun,
Confront the fear within our system,
A stagnant mind will kill itself, and burning others? Welcome to our hell.
Our hell

Hell,
I say,
Apologies are lost in ashes

Don't place that hate on me,
Don't practice what you preach,
Don't place that hate on me,
The war's inside!
The war's inside!
Your soul and in your mind.

Don't place that hate on me,
Don't practice what you preach,
Don't place that hate on me,
The war's inside!
The war's inside!
We're divided!

Divided no equal,
And I wanna believe,
That we're all born as one,
Unite to be!

Separation,
Divided we lose,
Assimilation,
Divided we lose,
Demolition,
Divided we lose,
Demolition,
Unite!

Don't place your hate on me!
Don't practice what you preach!
Don't place your hate on me!
The war's inside!
The war's inside!
Don't place your hate on me!
Don't practice what you preach!
Don't place your hate on me!
That war's inside!
The war's inside!
We gotta unify us all!
Unify us all!
Propagate, it's not too late,
A mind that builds it's fellow beings,
We gotta unify us all!


3. BE HAPPY

Be happy...

Unsaveable!

We have the smallest insight into society,
Into our minds.
We know just enough to be afraid,
But not to stop.
Happy or not,
It's not the questions that I'm lacking.
But the answers,
To prosper!

Born a sinner, as may be given?
I was not taught to love.
Bleeding, scheming, burning, seething,
A glutton's punishment.
I spent my years in darkness thinking,
I don't deserve this much.
But I know if something loves me,
Then I'll have done enough!

Gimme visions,
Of death down from above.
If I don't,
Don't! don't!
Buy enough!

Be happy...

I keep on taking these pills for suffering,
But I don't take too much,
And I keep on spend spending to ease my burdens,
but I don't spend too much.
The money that drains my only veins is dry beyond belied,
And the only truth that sets me free,
Is buried deep beneath!

Gimme visions,
Of death down from above.
If I don't,
Don't! don't!
Buy enough!

Be happy...

Stop complaining [just be happy]
Stop demanding [just be happy]
Standing in fucking line!
Conform if you're to rise!

Born to follow [to the slaughter]
Ask no questions [getting hotter]
You're just a battery!
Shut up and be happy!

Be happy!

Suffer, pull down with me,
We're peeling back all the layers.
Stop, spending and see,
Your life is more than payments!

[Lease your soul out]
Happiness, it ain't right.
But it is worth fighting for it.
So open the door,
And don't conform!

I do what I can to barely to survive,
I've earned my will to live.
Ain't no keepin' money heaps,
Cause that don't help me sleep!

Gimme visions,
Of death down from above.
If I don't,
Don't! don't!
Buy enough!

Be happy...


4. SUBSERVANTS

For the years that I've been chained up,
For the self that I've confined,
For the withering and the suffering,
For my loneliness in time.

I have regrets,
For my soul it was consumed,
And I'm not afraid of dying,
for the years of soul abuse.

What's troubling me,
I bow down to knees.

Crawl!
Claw back inch by inch!

Practice the same lies,
Hold the same lies,
Worship the same lies,
Over me

Tell me now I'm suffering,
That only you can see,
I'm worshipping perfection,
Repeating litanies.
Cause they are right, they preach my light,
Don my crown of thorns.
A worm for all the selfless suffering,
Flogging dead the horse!

What's troubling me,
I bow down to knees.

I crawl!
Claw back inch by inch.
Broken!
Beaten, soiled soul.
I refuse, I will rise!
Don't let 'em keep you down!

Dead from all the silence,
Numb from blinding seas,
Drowning in the waves of torment and condescending screams.

I wish the pain would rip away,
And then maybe I'd see,
I'd have my own voice coming back,
As hoarse as it may seem.

What's troubling me,
I bow down to knees.

I crawl!
Claw back inch by inch.
Broken!
Beaten, soiled soul.
I refuse, I will rise!
Don't let 'em keep you down!

Practice the same lies that make us insane!
Worship the same lies that douse us in pain!

Pain, seeking the pain,
Past, seeking the suffering,
Pain, seek the pain,
Break all of your mental prisons!

Crawl!

I am naked my heart beating!
At least it's my own beat this!
Broken skulls but open eyes,
pains of perseverance!

I worshiped the same lies,
I practiced them all.
But my worries of being herem
That I'll return to fall...
To my knees.

Practice the same lies,
Hold the same lies,
Worship the same lies,
Sold my soul!
Practice the same lies,
Hold the same lies,
Worship the same lies,
Feed the hole!
Practice the same lies,
Hold the same lies,
Worship the same lies,
Worst of all!
Practice the same lies,
Hold the same lies,
Worship the same lies,
I sold my soul to be...

Someone,
Someone,
Else!


5. PAIN IN ME

I’m alive but naked and afraid,
Why can’t you be right,
I glimpse, but breathing is strained,
Your ‘good enough’ ain’t shit.
And the fear, it plagues me inside.
Hate!
Trapped in this darkness, who am I?
Nothing…

Severed.

I’d sell my sell for,
Got pins for eyes,
Too tired to sleep so I just churn inside!

And now I’m beating,
Myself desired,
Barricaded from deceitful lies!

[What can’t I trust inside?]

Shut up!
Shut up, shut up!
Shut up!
The voices inside!
Shut up!
Shut up, shut up!
Shut up!
The voice inside
Shut up!
Shut up, shut up!
Shut up!

Self abandoned,
I’m sleep deprived.
The dark keeps closing on these sleepless nights!

I’m all consuming,
Heart beat that strikes,
I feel too bruised to survive the signs!

[Commit the treason]

Shut up!
Shut up, shut up!
Shut up!
The voices inside!
Shut up!
Shut up, shut up!
Shut up!
The voice inside
[Who is your god?]
Shut up!
Shut up, shut up!
Shut up!
The voice inside!
Shut up!
Shut up, shut up!
Shut!

My soul is broken,
Inside I’m torn,
Where is my ending?
To suffer,
From this fall?

Do it, do it, do it!
My soul is broken,
Prove it, prove it, prove it,
Destroy yourself,
Fight it, fight it, fight it,
I’m your god,
Descend, descend, descend,
I did it to myself!

Save,
Me,
Now,

Save,
Me,
From,

Save,
Me,
God?

The darkness it will dwell!

I will persevere
