1. THE HEIST

To a man faced with death
The reserve note is key
No solution in sight
It all falls on me
What’s a man to do
It’s either death or it’s greed
Watch the innocent suffer
Watch the innocent bleed
Life on your back
Not a single fighting chance
It’s all set and planned
So with the devil I shall dance
Time’s rendered dry
So completion comes first
Nothing difficult
Leave every witness in the dirt
I pound my head against the wall
Trying so hard to please them all
Preservation instinct
And the will to survive
Idealistic visions
Keep the last hope alive
Let’s not sensationalize
Desperate measures for desperate times
If all else fails
Maybe I’ll still have relief
You can catch me in the headlines
Morals and empathy killed the thief
At the end of the day
If you show them your trust
They’ll show your back a blade
Simple, good intentions
Are paving the way
Maybe hell ain’t so bad,
Now that home is a fucking cage


2. BELLA

You’re saying so much
With your mouth wide shut
Because now that you’re the judge
It looks like no one made the cut
I can see all you swallow
How it sits in your guts
Watch one door after another as it gets pushed shut
You’re insightful and you’re kind
But you’re hateful and you’re fucking blind
And you’re destined to grow old
With a heart cold like mine
The taste in your mouth
And the shell on your skin
Say “tell the people that you hate why you wear that grin”
Just keep it all together
Prepare your adieu
For this anthill that cares
Just not about you
These people run a system
That won’t give you shit
So take their air
Take their water
Make em beg for it
Beg for soothing
Of a warped and parasitic mind
Delusion has no boundary
Truth cannot be defined
Trapped with these creatures
You don’t know how to trust
Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust to dust


3. THREATS

I trust you’ve all noticed the tension
We crumble at the mention
Of equality or simple dissension
And I think it finally warrants aggression
Trickle down promises have come up dry
Maybe the world needs one more “bad guy”
Protect and serve
As the symbol of authority
And continue minimizing the majority
Sworn against this force fed conformity
The ones who think have become main priority
And will be punished accordingly
Just do my job
Disband the lynch mob
Until it finally hit home
You couldn’t leave well enough alone
Now the people have turned to the streets
I’ve gained insight and perspective
And now serve the bloodthirsty collective
We have always known you were the culprit
We have always seen through all your bullshit
I’m sorry
But it needs to be said
The world looks brighter
With a bullet in your head
So if you think this is the worst
Things can get
Please by all means
Consider me a fucking threat


4. DELTA

Simplicity ascending forms disorder
Immobility’s lost and stagnant comfort
The flower and the father
Have both strayed far from the seed
I am redemption
I am correction
The reconstruction of a creed
Oh stranger
Oh behemoth
Why must you run
From this sinless demon
Perpetual pursuit
Of some permitted forbidden fruit
Hands up before they shoot
Caught in an endless loop
Simplicity ascending forms disorder
Immobility’s lost and stagnant comfort
Awake
In this nightmare that keeps me awake
