Out of My Hands

To end world hunger?
Or for more profit?
Food is wasted
Covered in flies
All my choice
Is taken away
Big business
Standing in my way
To end world hunger?
Or for more profit?
Corporations
Feed us lies
All my choice
Is taken away
Big business
Standing in my way
What I see
I don't understand
Lies on the labels
Corrupt obfuscation
Big business
Dominate the shelves
Turn me into
Something else
Human decency dies in the boardroom
But there's an easy solution
Cut the Monsanto execs apart
And wear their skin
To end world hunger?
Or for more profit?
Corporations
Feed us lies
What I see
I don't understand
Lies on the labels
Corrupt obfuscation

Never Again

What you do when I'm not around
Guess our friendship doesn't mean shit
I guess those words you said
They were fucking lies
When you said you wouldn't do it
When you said you would be there
Have my back
Cut me some slack
I don't want to see your fucking face again

Blindspot

blindspot blindspot
like it's over
like you changed it
blindspot blindspot
like it's over
like you changed it
don't fucking pretend
when I look around, what do I see?
you made a big show but didn't change a fucking thing
while you were patting yourself on the back
the problem brushed by the hairs on your neck
self-congratulation, press tour going well
self-righteous bullshit, see you in hell
and while you were patting yourself on the back...?
blindspot blindspot
act like it's over
act like you changed it
blindspot blindspot
act like it's over
act like you changed it

Pretend to Care

conformist conformist
you point your fucking finger
conformist conformist
you can't look in the mirror
look outside yourself
but you can't see within
see something you desire
and you meet it with hatred
draw your conclusion
pretend you don't care
but you're burning inside
just to fit in
you see what we've built
and try to tear it down
you'll soon disappear
But I'll still be around
conformist conformist
you point your fucking finger
conformist conformist
you can't look in the mirror

Tomb
01:20
|
|||
You tell me it's my problem to solve
I don't believe that at all
You've made your fucking bed
And it's where you'll be laid to rest
Won't let you drag me down
strap myself to the tracks for you?
You tell me it's my problem to solve
I don't believe that at all
As the train rolls across your chest
This is where you'll be laid to rest

The Gate
01:57
|
|||
A shadow looms over our past and future
we traveled through a blood-stained gate
something unsightly inside
Passed on pain with no words to explain
Tragedy birthed me, so how can I live?
Torn from my roots by fear
Foolish pride in what was forced on me
seeking something far out of reach
Was I given this name I bear?
Or was I branded out of sight
Secrets hidden, genealogies erased and denied
I walk through life, legacy unseen
Others can't hide what's etched in their skin
Only so much in common, but this question, it persists
Reminded til the end of eternity
Of what might of been and what can never be
A future, free, never severed
Was I given this name I bear?
Or was I branded out of sight
Piecemeal, the peace we earned, gone in what seems like a flash
And how can we ever get it back?
I walk through life, legacy unseen
Others can't hide what's etched in their skin
Only so much in common, but this question, it persists
Reminded til the end of eternity
Of what might of been and what can never be
A future, free, never severed
History is a nightmare and I have to wake up

In a Daze
02:00
|
|||
Fill my ears with nonsense
Invoke nature
But whose nature?
Shackled by language
Between two poles
The limits of human imagination
You tell me it doesn't make sense
Molded the world in your image
Ask questions you've already answered
Order and chaos freely co-exist
Fill my ears with nonsense
Reveal your nature
Not my nature
Shackled by language
Always in pairs
The limits of human knowledge
And when the world starts to bend
You still won't see me clearly
The foundation shakes and falls away
Outside of what once confined us
I speak of these meaningless abstractions
Like freedom, truth, friendship, integrity
We impregnate these symbols with meaning
Beyond the emptiness that they imply
How can I move forward in my existence
When what I hold most dear is inside me
We seek an ideology with words and concepts to fit our daily lives and give us tools to act
What I know is what I think and feel is as good as any truth
And every moment replays again and again and again
At once as tragedy and farce
