Here we are at the start again, Stagnant once more. No movement forward. Arms crossed eyes blank are you still there? You live your life in the comments section Content to destroy from within Echo chamber that weakens our power Blank faces that say I've heard this before. We can no longer engage Without placing blame or fake outrage We've just become Each other's worst enemy Sharing ideas is not welcome here any longer We would rather attack than have each other's back It can be better than this, is this how we want it to be? We can no longer engage Without placing blame or fake outrage Stop our movement from going backward Smash the hive. Smash the hive More useless preaching to the converted choir Destroy the divide. Smash the hive We need to make this dangerous again And Take our ideas outside of our walls No more us vs us it’s us vs them We need to make this dangerous again No more us vs. Us - It’s us vs. Them

Once again with the gun in my hand, pull the top and down it goes I escaped this hole years ago now I’m looking out from the bottom These aren’t mistakes but the choices I have made I have regrets about the choices I’ve made I can’t take another day Living in this mental haze Not another fucking day I wish I had any sort of strength sick and depressed and life seems like a chore I’m not sure I can give any more I don’t know if I know another way out I fill my head with endless excuses and lies One more day I need to forget, another night I need to slip away I keep thinking that I’m better than this But I know I’m just tired and weak You saved me before. Can you save me again? I can’t take another day It’s in my blood but not in my heart My curse that I can’t push away You saved me once before, can you save me again

Diagnosed for another pill Our Deaths for profit off of your ill will One more friend one more family member Another dollar for the corporate doctor Here's a sample lets hope you get hooked Here's your cure and the side effects book I can't lose another friend I won't lose another friend To the Icy grip of prescription death To the dead stacked below the profit margin Legalized drug dealers in white coats A gateway to a world of hurt A chain reaction to another script Another addict at your disposal I can’t lose another friend I wont lost another friend One more empty shell drained of life A fucking ghost of what you used to be Another family ripped to pieces Another loved one taken away I tried to help Maybe I walked away to soon Maybe I was weaker than you You just wanted help and all you got was a prescription death. Drug dealers in white coats

G.O.D. 03:48
Banker backed wars Pushing global agendas Smoke and mirrors disguise artificial conflict and lies Dirty fucking rats Media altered reality Gold oil drugs GOD money god Occupation of foreign lands Devastation systematic elimination In order to acquire the resources we desire Feed it, we'll eat it Shove it down our throats Teach it, we'll learn Indoctrinate our soul Deceive us, mislead us Wrapped in the empires cloak Corporations calling the shots Drones are making the kills Bankers are reaping the spoils Humanity is paying the costs Gold - Oil - Drugs - God

Silenced 03:29
How did we get here? Where the victims are shamed and the Criminals are voted in. Bravery rewarded with a lifetime of blame A lifetime of inner fears and doubt And how can we ask why you kept your silence? How dare we ask why you kept your silence Why can't we believe you? A smear campaign to find the lie Perpetrators cast as heroes And we question privilege over truth I'm sorry they can't believe you Your rights are on trial Victims treated like the enemy We have to kill this culture Burn down their fucking world With your truth. And With their lies Burn down their fucking world Set fire to their version of the truth Time to flip the script and make them pay Flip the script and make the motherfuckers pay

No Shelter 03:14
Better life? I want that for you but we are too ignorant and entitled to let that happen You have sacrificed everything and we have given nothing Hateful rhetoric about walls that don't mean shit Where is our compassion where is our love for those in need Terrified children disposed of in camps like human trash Parents arrested and interrogated for their sacrifice What the fuck have we become? Stop this war Fuck your walls and fuck your borders Stop this war on the people. What the fuck have we become When we can turn away families in need When we put children in cages Are we trying to protect the fucking land we stole Free from Persecution Free from poverty Your so safe in your own little world And from the wars and the horrors that you see between your shows on the tv

Instilled 02:32
You close my eyes to any ideas but your own Keep me deaf to the sound of revolution Tie my hands from achieving my freedom You want my brain to think only my thoughts What are you doing to break the cycle? Talking drunk and inhaling their lies? Are you abstaining and staying stupid? Either way were still left behind Close my eyes. Keep Me Deaf. Instilled. So tell me how can they be your actions When it's their ideals that fill your head These thought are instilled upon us all And were told freedom is being lead When in reality freedom will only come When we realize who the fuck is really in control How can they be your actions When it's their ideas that fill your head?

Underneath 02:36
Deceitful is all you've been, Tear away at the false uncaring skins Corporations with bloody hands Is what lays underneath the lies you sold, The lies you told The blind leading the blind In a war against non existent enemies While you hide under your greed soaked camouflage Your corporate camouflage Now you walk a separate path, Now you're the puppet You're one of them, I see your strings
