Destabilised, decentralised our craft diminishes with the tide We're dissonants in consonance holding on to what we love The world turns away the words die out All too content with things we never cared about. Where is the danger we used to hold? To defy the odds and all that we were told Against the grain swimming upstream Give me new signs of fury to redeem We drown our minds with empty words diversion leads the dance Into the abyss of the thieves where we underachieve They try to steal all we have left inside To skin us all leave us to bleed and than sell the hide Where is the danger we used to hold? To defy the odds and all that we were told Against the grain swimming upstream Give me new signs of fury to redeem Be annoyed, we're in distress Giving up won't clean your mess Take it on and fight the few who restrict all the dreams we pursue (Motherfucking hypo-crits)

Recovery Day 02:54
Let’s try again to not let it faze you. Don’t let it get to your head. All of these things you have been told. Just be the better man instead. Competing with your former self. Struggling to reach for the upper shelf. While a majority is stuck, stuck in their ways. Just waiting.. till the end of their days Never stand still, stop to self-reflect. Condemning everything you have said. The world is there to fuel their misery. But soon they will become a part of history. Competing with your former self. Struggling to reach for the upper shelf. While a majority is stuck, stuck in their ways. Just waiting.. till the end of their days So where is our recovery day? The day we will not adjust. I’m guessing we entered the fray Until we fade to dust. Competing with your former self. Struggling to reach for the upper shelf. While a majority is stuck, stuck in their ways. Just waiting.. till the end of their days .circling back whilst they regret till the end of their days

Everything these days is magnified with a factor ten Analysed by pseudo critics with their weird demands It's an arms race for the longest toes so we can all rise We stand for nothing, (stand for nothing)we’re fuelled by lies We're all so weak complaining online from an easy chair It's oh so easy to criticise when you know it's nowhere near fair Why are we all so busy with what other people do Start re-arranging your own mess, clean up that shit named you Too many statements and turtlenecks are the order of the day As long as you will stay in line you won't get blown away I'm sick and tired of all this shit made up to harm us all It’s a great collapse, you're the first to fall (you’ll fall!) We're all so weak complaining online from an easy chair It's oh so easy to criticise when you know it's nowhere near fair Why are we all so busy with what other people do Start re-arranging your own mess, clean up that shit named you(named you) what?

We stick around to be recognised To fulfill ourselves in each others eyes Questionable figures with their shady acts We run their errands with no care for the facts Try to think for once and see This glorified madness, is it all that we should be? Way too afraid to fail, we hide in agony We doubt our own actions giving in to the thirst To be acknowledged by those with succes We find ourselves chasing regress At this point they shine and lights guide your way A year from now they’ll have died away This act you put up might bring you short relief Until it drags you down with only debris to retrieve Try to think for once and see This glorified madness, is it all that we should be? Way too afraid to fail, we hide in agony We doubt our own actions giving in to the thirst To be acknowledged by those with succes We find ourselves chasing regress

Evil Intent 02:48
Such crooked plans drenched with evil intent It sickens me to my stomach and makes my hands shake I can't function off this anger and disbelief Where's the truth in deceptive hidden lies When do we feel .. satisfied? Someone sticks this misery on to me Planned out wreaking havoc on honesty I try to find the best in everyone I meet But somehow get drawn into this deceit, into deceit It resonates with past mistakes and days gone by When we're young we knew it all, everything else was a lie We should evolve and learn to empathise Where's the truth in deceptive hidden lies Salvaging remains.. with crooked lies In disbelief it holds me in a firm grip Being too kind giving evil a chance to grow They take a finger grab the hand and drag you down below Drag you down belong They drag you down, below

Coexist 02:32
In the current ghost of time, dark ages should be gone Nevertheless the narrow minded are ever going strong The developed mind should learn, to discern and tolerate Somehow we're still too dumb to learn, we sow the seeds of hate Every day I wonder, will we ever see the light To co exist in harmony without this great divide Dark clouds they reappear with populists that rise I hear them talk and my hope slowly dies I may not agree with you, but I stand for you right To voice your own opinion without violence and spite There's no point in killing, for whatever point of view True wealth lies in understanding, not fearing all that is new Every day I wonder, will we ever see the light To co exist in harmony without this great divide Dark clouds they reappear with populists that rise I hear them talk and my hope slowly dies In a way it feels like a balance shift Like nature's saying “ fight it off, the remaining ones will know” Right from wrong, but it never happens stupidity will prevail As long as we all shut our mouths, we're all damned to fail

Grown away 02:34
The dumb repetition of doing just the same Keeps itching like a parasite eating out my brain Surprise me with all the stuff I've never heard Instead of pushing orders and culling the herd Is there any progress when we abide by all these rules? There's no redemption in going back to the past The words you speak are empty phrases we have heard all before History repeats, there's no change anymore It hits me every time we've all grown away From angry words we used to keep going on It seems we're more concerned with how we to be liked Than to look around and learn from mistakes we have made Is there any progress when we abide by all these rules? There's no redemption in going back to the past The words you speak are empty phrases we have heard all before History repeats, there's no change anymore Money and status shouldn't be what we're aiming for Exposure is your goal there's no ideal anymore Why don't we stay angry, why don't we resist?

Even after all those years I still don't get it, This shit we buy into and all the fucked up things we do It's all conformity for a seemingly warm bath To be like everyone else and yearn for something you’ll never get For a brief moment I want you to stand still Wonder why you're doing this, and is it still free will? It's all so modest when you're just like the rest Think of all the great chances you have left Sometimes I take a look to find this promised land It never dawns from the desert, fakes are all I see with no demand Soothing and reassuring it must feel great.. when everyone will agree with anything you’re ever gonna say I'd rather be alone than be a bloated clown A product of society waiting to be put down Like a scavenger waiting for his luck to run down Desperate and lonely even though everybody's around It could be me but it doesn't please me To follow these social standards seems like a fallacy For a brief moment I want you to stand still Wonder why you're even doing this, is it still free will? I'd rather be alone than be a bloated clown A product of society waiting to be put down Like a scavenger waiting for his luck to run down Desperate and lonely even though everybody's around

The middle age, of sedated friends All so confident we have a means to an end Diversion for the easy molded mind Soon we all forget what we ever tried to find I saw it in us, together we would stand Like every time before, they all came and went The sad reflections of your withered ideals Make me fight , not to be a spineless man who kneels I will never be like you , your petty excuses won’t do I will grow as you stumble onto your end without a clue It’s seems too hard to keep your head up high Always against the stream, stuck asking why I doubted myself a million times before Still there’s no reason to quit, to fight only once more I thought we’d stand the test of time and go Decimate mediocrity and care for what we know
11.
The world is getting weirder as days just flash on by Repetitive behavior of the dumb and ill behaved If this was the greatest test of our time I’d be just fine Somehow we can’t place this in perspective, and lay it on the line Sometimes I shake my head in disbelief How to deal with the puerility I receive We’re all demanding for our capitalistic gains Only dying for the next trend, to eat our brains There is no zombie threat there is no killing spree around So we are all offended by some restriction in our time It’s hard to see perspective when you’ve always had it all Sometimes hardships and pain can help you learn, something after all Sometimes I shake my head in disbelief How to deal with the puerility I receive We’re all demanding for our capitalistic gains Only dying for the next trend, to eat our brains The world is getting weirder as days just flash on by Repetitive behavior of the dumb and ill behaved If this was the greatest test of our time I’d be just fine Somehow we can’t place this in perspective, and lay it on the line

It's Over 03:17
It is over, silence fills my mind All the chaos of days before are now far behind It feels so stale now ,like emptiness prevails No more remnants are left of those ancient tales You said it before you don’t prioritise this sentiment no more, so you don’t pursue, it to any end No more plans to run away in your dystopia A brief fleeing instinct to a far gone utopia No more scattered contact, or grief for your sin Bridges burn, a beautiful fire, an end with no begin A weight of my chest I’m learning to fly You’ve exited this vicious circle, leave it to die You said it before you don’t prioritise this sentiment no more, so you don’t pursue, it to any end No more plans to run away in your dystopia A brief fleeing instinct to a far gone utopia It’s over and out, weakness will not take me on There’s no lie, when the past is long gone You wore this like a guilt over your life The succubuses have returned to hell to not further defy.

Designed for nothing, made to fade away Death lurks in the shadows constant threat of decay We paint so many pictures how to live our lives We tend to get so scared at times we fail to try Something out of nothing, a cure for this disease Not waiting to be judged not waiting till I cease Something more than nothing is what keeps us going on This passion in our hearts is what we thrive upon Monuments to remind us, we're only passing by As if it's all forbidden, to step it up this time Nothing has a meaning till we make it for ourselves And looking in the mirror never got us anywhere Something out of nothing, a cure for this disease Not waiting to be judged not waiting till I cease Something more than nothing is what keeps us going on This passion in our hearts is what we thrive upon, Go! It might not make much sense but it’s all that we leave So we might as well insist to do it without grieve

Ultraviolet 02:31
It’s unimaginable for me, this herd mentality You’re all the same, we’re all to blame and nothing will ever change This is all slowly going down to the same proverbial drain Stupidity reigns, great promises fade out and die in vain It somehow never ceases to amaze me In the time of instant information we’re somehow swayed by idiocracy You’d think at this point our evolution would shine Somehow we’re put in reverse speeding into decline I’d wish to see that we could do better than this today Reality somehow smacks me down and chases my hope away Like a bully in high school pushing all sense away again Grooming a polished turd, straight into the abyss with no plan We’re on the brink of collapse but diverted astray Nothing matters outside your comfort zone any way We fail again and fail again to see with our open eyes Like a drug addict falling back for another shot, shot-of-lies

Held down by the constant pressure of your peers The age of information like a flood into our ears It was never as hard to deviate as it is today It takes your A game to distance yourself away Where do we keep our sanity? When everything is thrown in our face each day How can it be good for anyone if it comes that easily? Free from the rules in the shadows they operate Hidden agendas, population control they sow the seeds of hate We're all defined by a digit bubble on a wire This cloud saved identity of the walking dead will see us expire It's a social genocide for uniformity A twisted machine telling you, consume! and don’t question me. There's no margin for error when it's only yes or no No room for personality, in the robot show Where do we keep our sanity? When everything is thrown in our face each day How can it be good for anyone if it comes that easily Free from the rules in the shadows they operate Hidden agendas, population control they sow the seeds of hate We're all defined by a digit bubble on a wire This cloud saved identity of the walking dead will see us expire Free from the rules in the shadows they operate Hidden agendas, population control they sow the seeds of hate We're all defined by a digit bubble on a wire This cloud saved identity of the walking dead will see us expire
