I take these pills I fall asleep. I take these pills I stay awake. How about consistency from day to day for fuck’s sake? I wish that I could shut my brain off and fade away. But when I’m left untethered, my mind wanders to a darker place. I feel like motel art, I don’t really add much. But if I were gone you might notice me missing for a month at best before I am replaced. Familiar scenery with a different face I am bad news A poor investment through and through. Don’t waste your time on me. I will only let you down. I feel the weight of the world and I don’t give a shit. Hate waking up every morning ‘cause I am sick of it. They say to pray it away, tell me to medicate. I don’t need advice I just need to dissociate. I promise you I’ll never go out like that. I’ll hide the body, but I’ll draw you a map. I’ve thought this through. The cable is tied. It may not look it, but I am dead inside. I am bad news A poor investment through and through. Don’t waste your time on me. I will only let you down. I am a let down. I am a six-foot tall walking pile of trash, Expecting everyone I meet to kiss my ass. And for what? The illusion of mild success? It doesn’t mean that my life sucks any less. The American dream is hard to chase for an insomniac. I don’t sleep. All I see is black. Through the darkness, we see the light. But I don’t know if I can go on with the fight.

You pray for the loved ones. You pray for the dead. And you pray to God to give us a way to bring the violence to an end. But your thoughts and prayers aren’t working. Its time we lay the blame. If your God exists he gave us Democracy to make the change. There is a weakness; In the belief that evil has boundaries. But how can we be so blind when we are waist deep in dead canaries? There can’t be silence now. Our voices must be loud. To drown out a rich man’s laughter as he pads his bank account. From his cold dead hands; We’ll pry his cold hard cash. Running corporate sponsors out of town, they’ll cut ties and cover their tracks. There is a weakness. In the belief that evil has boundaries. But how can we be so blind when we are waist deep in dead canaries? We have the numbers. But they have the gold. And money talks, but this conversation is getting old. Come Heller high water; You’ve taken us three steps back; You’ve torn the bricks; From the foundation of our path. There are no atheists in foxholes, but ground warfare has no place in a school. Why can’t we be safe in large crowds We need to bleach this cesspool Arming the people without organization is difficult to see. Growing indifference to violence be publicly decried. Your prayers can’t raise the dead; Their blood is on your hands. You line your pockets every time we take a bullet in the head. Your prayers can’t raise the dead; Your prayers won’t raise the dead; Their blood is on your hands.

You’re made of money Not of flesh and bone All I see is black mold spreading through our home In a class full of Kennedy’s you’re Lee Harvey Oswald Burning all your bridges ‘cause you’d rather build a wall I will question what you say On any given day Just because you disagree, that doesn’t mean its fake. The constant disrespect But what did we expect? When the racist, lying rapist is the one that we elect. I will question what you say On any given day Just because you disagree, that doesn’t mean its fake. He’s turning all the clocks Back to 1939 Its only a matter of time You’re just a puppet For the asshole from Kentucky Nothing but a magnet underneath our moral compass Turning true north, into due south Every time you open your mouth It’s a nice place to visit but you wouldn’t want to live here ‘Cause nothing grows from scorched earth, baby. So weary pilgrims beware. Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free And he will stack them one by one in a cage as the Mother of Exiles weeps How many people have to suffer by his hand Before we offer up the deodand? I will question what you say On any given day Just because you disagree, it doesn’t mean its fake. The constant disrespect But what could we expect? When the racist, lying rapist is the one that we elect. You’re a quintessential demagogue demanding our respect But you’re nothing but a stain on the office of the president. Just because he does what he says he will Doesn’t mean that we should contribute to the filth.

Sorry Son, but you’re wrong, And you know it till you’re dead and gone Your worship and tribute is not enough to postpone We’re going to die alone Another false hope ministry I won’t apologize because you’re lying to yourself You won’t deliver me We’re all going to rot in the same place No matter what you say; No matter what you say Your fantasies will never replace When I’m dead and gone You shouldn’t care The ones that loved me will miss me? Don’t you fucking dare. Your arguments are invalid; yeah, they’ve got no teeth I have several eyewitness accounts that say when we die, we turn into sacks of meat All warfare is based on deception, and our perception depends on that lie. Promising us paradise to keep us docile, but we all know what happens when we die No matter what you say; No matter what you say We’re all going to rot in the same place Its all the same to me What you do with my remains when I’m deceased. But should I really continue to take up space? I DON’T CARE Take my pictures down, sell my belongings I DON’T CARE You can change the subject of all my stories I DON’T CARE Erase any trace of my existence I DON’T CARE I’ll rot in the ground if that’s where you want me I DON’T CARE We only live just to die? What a nightmare! Oh, I beg to differ. It sounds like a nice long rest after a hard day. Tell me, what could be better? When I’m dead and gone You shouldn’t care The ones that loved me will miss me? Don’t you fucking dare Don’t you fucking dare You’re going to die alone I’m going to die alone We’re going to die alone.

We came to party, but instead we’re censored by our peers Enjoy the ride, prepare to meet your greatest fears Your conscience called but there was no one there to answer the phone. God has forsaken us, so party like your parents aren’t home. Lie through your teeth, you’re no longer under oath. We’ll drive hot pokers through the eyes of the holiest ghosts If heavy metal is blasphemy, well then we’re going to hell But when I meet the devil, I’ll have nothing left to sell. You’re several seconds left on the breath before the plunge. That freezing in your veins is the ocean filling up your lungs. So keep your books, keep your fairy tales. They’re getting old. There’s nothing left to do if you want to save your soul. So praise the lord from the comfort of your home. Just keep Christ in Christmas, and out of rock n’ roll. If god gave rock n’ roll to you, well he’s a lying son of a bitch. He can’t give away what was never his to give. Grant me serenity to reject the things I cannot change. We’re faster than fashion when I wear you like bloodstains. So keep your books, keep your fairy tales. They’re getting old. There’s nothing left to do if you want to save your soul. So praise the lord from the comfort of your home. Just keep Christ in Christmas, and out of rock n’ roll. When you’re out on your own, and your skin starts to burn. Your eyes start to blister and your stomach starts to turn. You attempt to build your church upon this rock n’ roll, but the earth will open up and swallow that fucker whole. Then you’ll know. So keep your books, keep your fairy tales. They’re getting old. There’s nothing left to do if you want to save your soul. So praise the lord from the comfort of your home. Just keep Christ in Christmas, and out of rock n’ roll.

When I was younger I had friends that I could trust Likeminded people I could turn to when I’m feeling lost But now I’m getting older, everyone is moving on And I can’t blame them because no one wants a pessimist around for very long But look on the bright side You’ll never wonder how I’m feeling on the inside I can’t fake content in spite of everything that’s wrong I guess that’s why people never want to be around for very long So what’s next? I don’t know what you expect I’m just a constant disappointment with a lack of respect Most people spent their 20’s making friends and having sex But I lack the social skills that others use to connect Its not my fault, my parents left me as a kid; Ever since I’m only capable of seeming un-relatable; I prefer self-deprecation over verbal masturbation Because small talk makes me sick and I can’t give you validation But look on the bright side; You’ll never wonder how I’m feeling on the inside. I can’t fake content in spite of everything that’s wrong I guess that’s why people never want to be around for very long Notwithstanding their predictions I’ve exceeded expectations I’m alive despite my efforts But I’m lacking social graces So its hard for me to understand the scope of my offenses Until I see your awkward glances and the looks upon your faces I’m not the man that I wanted to be But I’d never want you to take pity on me I am not well-adjusted, but I can be trusted; To tell you the truth though it leaves you disgusted There’s no cause for alarm, because I’m probably fine But what’s the point of existence when you live in exile So look on the bright side You’ll never wonder how I’m feeling on the inside I can’t fake content in spite of everything that’s wrong I guess that’s why people never want to be around for very long.

You’re not one to judge. See, I was raised a broken man’s son with one foot in the grave. I disagree with your religion, but your choice I respect. But, can you really say the right to life is worth the neglect? You petty proselyte, consider the truth when you try to force your antiquated views on our youth. You’re quick with malice and your morals are not viable. You're only fooling yourself. Quit lying to us and insisting you’re concern is for the kids. Your demiurgic privilege is enough to make me sick. Oh what a lovely tea party I just wish you had spared me the invite. You see, I am not the type who is concerned with deception and meritless fights. Your “morals” are a veiled attempt to subject her to your control. She is suffering for suffrage and dissolving traditional roles. You’ve got no god damn problem spending money to create laws that result in starving kids on the street. Notwithstanding all your lord and savior taught you about, you wouldn't spend a dime to put food in its mouth. Once the kid is born you lose interest at best. Even if it’s sucking dope milk from its mother’s breast. The kid’s an addict it is weak and infirm. Just as long as Jesus knows the mother carried to term. Quit lying to yourself and insisting you’re concern is for the kids. Your demiurgic privilege is enough to make me sick. We will row through the fog and expose you as a counterfeit. And we will wade through swamp of your bullshit. Your religion doesn’t mean we must all subscribe to the gospel of delusions. I won’t abide. Don’t you worry, we know the drill. The thought-picker scourge is moving in for the kill. So save your breath for your last words. You better make them profound or voice is never going to be heard. We are lost, we are dead. We are pounding on the door, we are starving, we are left unfed. Your end game will never make sense to me. From the looks were better off stillborn in the USA. Stillborn in the USA Stillborn in the USA Stillborn in the USA Wish I was stillborn in the USA.

Truth Decay 03:18
Shadows in bottles, cast into oceans. Casting out despair. Cashing in cancer for character assassins, but my body is unaware. I am losing my teeth, and appearances mean everything. You are bad, but I can’t see your bones. I have never felt so alone. Living a lie. Breathing in dirt. Waiting to die. Defeating your assumptions of us. No different than the wolves that we run from, frothing at the mouth. Salivating hate. You are the flesh that we masticate. So it goes. So it goes. I can see through the dark, I am never going home. Home is a concept I never could grasp. The exits are sealed at the Cocoanut Grove. Living a lie. Breathing in dirt. Waiting to die. Defeating your assumptions of us. Living a lie. Breathing in dirt. Waiting to die. You asked more. You asked more. You asked more than I ever could give. But the quickest way to a man’s heart is through his fourth and fifth rib. You asked more. You asked more. You asked more than I ever could give. But the quickest way to a man’s heart is through his fourth and fifth rib. I would rather die from exposure, than burn to death while I try to fit in. If I could keep my thoughts in a jar, I would laugh as the onlookers’ faces caved in. I am losing my touch. I am losing my sense of touch. I would hold back your hair as you choke on the dust.

The education industrial complex has turned a generation into financial martyrs They should have been protectors, but laid down their shields in the face of economic marauders Then they jacked up tuition, and increased admissions, and handed out negligent financial assistance We should have kept our distance A life sentence in financial prison With no hope for an early release I keep my cash in a canister ‘Cause I’ve got places to be Her eyes remind me of a panic attack Or perhaps she is starting to see That the education finance system Is an Anti-Intellectual scheme In loco parentis, they should act as parents, and place our interests ahead of other matters But they exploit student athletes and cover up assault and let us mortgage our future before we can vote Then they will leave us in financial ruin Obscene rental rates and gentrification We just wanted an education A life sentence in financial prison With no hope for an early release; I keep my cash in a canister Cause I’ve got places to be Her eyes remind me of a panic attack Or perhaps she is starting to see That they’ll keep the educated suppressed To protect the aristocracy I took the road less traveled To avoid my past But someone else’s feet have beaten down the path When the pillars of success turn into monuments of stress Its hard to use what we have learned to benefit the rest They’ll bury us in debt to stop political dissent If we have to work ourselves to death, we can’t voice our contempt As soon as we’re accepted, we are cattle led to slaughter We offered up our bank accounts to feed the knowledge-monger With no one qualified to represent your sons and daughters, Once again the lenders preyed and left us economic horror But in retrospect, we’re all incorrect, its all just a waste of time I can’t take it back, but I wish I could give my younger self advice.
