Wake the master
Is all you survey Pictures down the well of my thoughts In settled dust they're hidden away Forced down the yellow pills then I stepped into the screen God were you sleeping so you couldn't hear their screams God were you sleeping, something feels so strange When I open my eyes wide you fade away, you fade away Reflections on this wall consume the tides consuming me Rejuvinated and cold reasons ripped apart, man bought an d sold I open doors never chosen for me Lost my sense of reality Now I'm free like a rat in a cage Sleeping God You're a stranger to me Now I know my place in life as time devours me more each day Sands will sift away, our time slips away Can you feel it slipping away, you're growing older day by day Now I know my place in life and it devours me more each day, no, no 02. Burned Device
Down in the deep, black hole of my heart
I feel the pain inside of the dreams that died And I saw a dark message clawed on a wall today, it said Forever burn this world, it's far too late Now I stare out my window, I see the towers rise Toxics seep into my backyard before my very eyes Industrial revolution, no other solution For the junk cultured junkies needs So take a deep breath because it ain't over yet The machine it's got to bring you down to your knees Outside the gates of redemption inside my happy home Contact with big Mr. Mega Bucks on my cellular phone Dollar for dollar the business hounds holler Sour mouthed stomachs well fed And I'm moving the game yet I still complain The paranoia, it swells inside my head How will I ever know which way the wind blows Will there be no place to hide when the storm comes down To tear off my hide, defenseless, rich or poor When the wolves start gathering round my door Self-destructed, I never anticipated Such pain from the things that I've created Burn, burn, burn, burn, the device and the ice that's in my heart Burn down the lies and the hatred in my eyes Let it burn, burn to see the world turn And it's all there in front of me And I feel compelled to make you see...reality This is the turning point, these are the crossroads Detonated lunacy and it's not a dream, it's not a dream No greener sky, no blacker seay, no greater war inside of me Now I stare out my window, the patients on the lawn Loved ones visiting hours wonder what went wrong, wrong, wrong Outside the gates of redemption, my mind is never alone Hospitalized, lobotomized, big machine, please come take me home This is reality 03. Deviation
Fractured chess game knights move
Chaos no point to prove I've been changing my open mind Self defensive intentions you'll never find Deviation detour your moral code You Understand I refuse to play the role Say have a seat, I think I'll stand Stained glass here I come with brick in hand No explanations, for my deviation I'll give no explanation, for my deviation See me, are you surprised I symbolize all you despise Never, never your faithful pawn You run your rat race, it's that I spit upon No explanations for my deviation I'll give no explanations, for my deviation No explanation for my deviation 04. October Thorns
What was it, something that I realized
A need inside me took me by surprise I see two sides now, I just don't know Subjected now an addict of control Mirror yourself if you can even try Gaze deep into God's sleepy eye Arabesques in my cold burn freeze Deliverance upon my dirty knees Dominator life's blood, my need The balance in my hands, the life blood seed Underneath a hood of stars, I realized just who you are Ooh, my October thorns in my side It makes me wonder will the need subside You miscalculated the algebra of need I died for you, now why shouldn't you return the favor You've come to learn junkie of control The more you push the stuff, the more it flows Twist the plot of demand supply A grim reflection of both you and I Now I know just who you really are I realized just who I really am Now I now just who I really am 05. No More Fun
I see the mighty fortress crumble, tumble to the ground
Swarms of rumbling bumble bees, consume the frantic crowd Seething, breeding mescaline drench the pretty girls Boredom for excuse, there's no more fun in the world Me outside my window, me inside my door Inside or outside, I don't give a fuck no more Say I'm angry, have a lousy attitude It's hard to be optimistic when I share the world with you Pretentious asshole, time to move aside Can't survive on your hypocrisy and lies You're building up, but you're tearing down The mighty fortress crumbles, tumbles to the ground And I can't understand, can't understand, can't comprehend Indifference to my fellow man, no longer amused Just pissed off and confused, still I laugh Me eyes are dry and I don't know why, I wonder why... And I'm so fucking happy 06. Suffer The Masses
The promise cast, the hopeful lured
Stabbing by the pointed words Tortures of the damned you'll find Guilt preys upon the human mind All you know and all you feel Is all there is and all that's real Innocent told you're a worthless pain Eventually drives all insane Bleak optimism gained A lame excuse to hide the pain Instinct stifled be ashamed For what you feel is right and sane Suffering, told what you feel and need is wrong When conflicting with the machine The machine that's run so long Suffer the masses, contradicting views inside Suffer the masses, the personality divides Suffer the masses, what's told and what you know Suffer the masses, now, now the neuroses grows Generations handed down The false smile to hide your frown Instinct stifled don't be afraid For what you feel is right and sane The promise cast, the hopeful lured Stabbed by the pointed words Tortures of the stabbed you'll find As guilt devours your broken mind 07. 6, Six, VI
Doing the descend, I've been waiting
To step into a dream It is, it was, it seems Satan in your stereo, crucifix receptacle Menace in your muddy eyes, a candy coated fear Do I remember me, transcending partisan Hunter and hunted, now one in the same Vast delirium, multitudes of attitude T.V. is your brain Vile, greasy vermin nicotine scars Cheap, lethal bourbon, my refuge in the bar Open mind defended, seen through a filtered lens Gaze upon the symbolism, I wanna know what the message sends Warfare concealed a symbolism, a martyr for your daughter Stigmatised in my holy water, 666 Is it threatening as it seems Sometimes there's nothing left to tell Sometimes I can't understand myself No, no single key, to calculated spontaneity Confusion, illusion What use sanity Battering down the walls built inside of me Battering down... Passing me through revolving doors Your will whole of the law Doors in your mind unwind, unwind Symbol in your muddy eyes words are dismissable Nothing is true, all is permissible Open mind defended, seen through a filtered lens Sometimes There's nothing left to tell Sometimes I can't understand myself No, no single key, to calculated spontaneity Confusion, illusion What use sanity Battering down the walls built inside of me Battering down the walls built inside of me Battering down... 08. Greed
Greed can't wash your filthy hands
Now you know Just where you really stand Competition. Man against man Vicious players, Game of life has no plan. Candiate for office, You vote for me, I'm young, smart, smooth-talkin', no one can bullshit me Promises promises Just another vote. High paid thief in office, sharpened lies cut your throat What do you really want What will you pay To stab another back, To get your way And grease the painted palms, all gagged and bound You try to rip me off I'll bring you down Kill Or be killed, that's what we're all taught Money, drugs, religion, they've all got their plots To make it to the big time, then pay off the cops It's greed that motivates them and only death will make them stop Guilt tool of the trade, you crushed someone's mind To get your own way, you were my friend You've cut the bloodline that never ends 09. EMTEK
Experiment for the government, I hear they're paying well
I needed the money, all I have is my courage to sell Innoculations for the benefit of all mankind A human guinea pig, I've laid my life on the line I didn't plan on this misery, this drastic change Organ donor before my death, what a foolish risk Had suspicions when they hooked the needle to my wrist Felt the sickness as the fluid gushed beneath my flesh My peeling skin turns green, at least I can pay the rent Masochistic nausea I can't chase away Transforming my life is fading away Blood cells mutating in unnatural ways Hair is receding, my skin turns to scales Genetic imbalance of self-induced hell Distort the tissue to create the strain Biological warfare is their f*&$#*g game I've paid the price the naive accessory Cash mutated, I am no longer me From the labs out to the streets the virus strays Transforming my life is fading away Blood cells mutating in unnatural ways Hair is receding, my skin turns to scales Genetic imbalance from self-induced hell No immunization, no antidote to sell Genetic imbalance from self-induced hell 10. Scars
Stare up into the sky, who's in charge
Will it matter which bills are paid when she decides to do us harm Forces of nature destiny control Even the rich can't buy their lives When death becomes her toll No conscience no love a heartless dare No matter where you hide she's there Rape the land, bite the hand that feeds you One day gonna take it away Feel the chill from her icy stare No self control, it will take its toll The life we're living here Scars on her face, filth in her hair, pollution in her eyes We kill the creatures she creates Then we wonder why she cries Scars on her face, filth in her hair, pollution in her eyes We kill the creatures she creates Then we wonder why she cries With the power she possesses, wipe clean the slate again Mass operation or daddy's cash It just won't matter who's your friend |
