Surrounded 02:32
Surrounded By sincerest stupidity Swelling with age As time moves on Rationale fades Along with integrity And intellect As the planet abscesses What's to expect? Devoid of virtue And communication Hatred is fashion Love in stagnation Surrounded By the greed of the sullen Destroying the Earth Money is god And compassion, absurd Is a rat race worth winning If we all fall Victim to the plague Of a life lived so small Devoid of virtue And communication Hatred is fashion Love in stagnation Surrounded Surrounded By fucking idiots

Bitchin' and moanin' And pissin' and groanin' Acting like a child Whose candy's been stolen Pointing your finger With no one to blame But yourself for the fucking Mistakes you have made Pathetic and poignant I know you enjoy it You're being what you wanna be You're a victim Screamin' and cryin' But you can't deny it You cut your own slice Now you might as well try it The world is your scapegoat And you're a disgrace For the shame that I see When I look at your face Sad and subservient But I know you earned it You're being all that you can be You're a victim "The bigger they are, the harder they fall", right? That's what they always said, "The bigger they are the harder they fucking fall" Cuz let me tell you something, that's fucking bullshit! The bigger they are, the harder they fucking hit That's why we gotta come together We gotta organize as a community And show these mother fuckers That we will not be cowed We will not be bullied And we will not do what they say we should do Simply because they say that we should do it There's always gonna be people out there Who think that they can get what they want Off the sweat of our backs Off of telling us what to do So that's why we gotta stand up We gotta stand together And with one voice, we gotta tell these people WE. WILL. NOT. BE. USED! You're a victim You're being what you wanna be Victim BItchin' and moanin' and pissin' and groanin' Victim You're being all that you can be Victim You're being all that you can be You're a victim

Infected 02:07
You can never trust the media Corporate money writes the news Never trust a priest giving kids Hand jobs in the pews Never trust a fucking cop Who propagates brutality Or any politician Because they all lack morality Does it make you want to fucking cry? The whole world is infected You can never trust the government Surveilling your home Never trust a way monger Willing to kill their own When hope is gone and trust is lost And truth has been neglected Does it make you want to fucking cry? The whole world is infected Does it make you want to fucking cry? The whole world is infected
5.
Pills 02:26
A pill to wake, a pill to sleep A pill to put my mind at ease It's 8 am, a day to greet A pill to wake for woe is me A pill to kill! A pill to wake, a pill to sleep How many more are left to eat? It's 4 am, still not a wink A pill to wake, I'll never sleep A pill to kill ANXIETY A pill to kill DUBIETY A pill to kill SOCIETY A pill to kill The rest of me
6.
Runaway 02:00
Running Running away From the problems and Mistakes we have made We'll keep running Running away Never looking back Or accepting blame Running Running away Like we're too incompetent To every try to change We'll keep running Running away No surprise we choose to lie In the beds we have made Why are we running away?
7.
The Storm 03:21
Dreading the storm As the sky becomes grey Sun has gone away Face in my hands Now it's painfully clear You're no longer here A darkness fills today with gloom Covered in a sorrow that consumes Events that lead my mind astray We've all gotta die anytime, anyway A one-sided battle's No battle at all Constructed to fall You said you weren't ready To lose the fight (I) know how hard you tried A battle lost, the greatest cost No shortest straw, no coin to toss Events that lead my mind astray We've all gotta die anyhow, anyway Thousand yard stare back Try not to react Pieces left destroyed None will fill the void With a last laugh, you disappear I watch the waves crash from the pier With a last thought as I stare at the bay We've all gotta die anywhere, anyway We've all gotta die anytime, anyway We've all gotta die anyhow, anyway We've all gotta die anywhere, anyway But, I know I'll miss you everyday, anyway
