Free people will never remain free if they are not willing,
if need be, to fight for their vital interests. I watch your bullshit from the outside in, your disrespect and hate You think you're better than your fellow man, Controlled by fear you seal your fate How could you step on me, violate, desecrate and hate me But I'm just like you, like you, flesh and blood, I'm only human. I resist the pressure to be who you want me to be I resist the pressure, I resist so I am free. I see right through your condescending ways, as you look down on me But I could never stand and judge like you, I resist so I am free. My peace of mind, peace of mind will set me free But I'm just like you, like you, flesh and blood, in need of revolution. I resist so I am free. |

Welcome to the rat race, people killing themselves
To get ahead of the pack, backstab and attack. Out for self, the money, the power, the fame, Competition and greed in a world without shame. I stumble and fall along the path I've chosen, I face my fears, I won't be broken. Corrosion has a way of fucking with you sanity, I do what I gotta to preserve my humanity. Switchback-taking life as each day comes Switchback-facing fears, I never run, Switchback-never quit until I'm done I'm the underdog and I will overcome. Confrontation can break you down to your very last compound. Beat you down, drag you round, break you Refuse to bend, never ever let it take you Over the edge where you can never break through. Overcome, switchback, stand strong alone The good, the bad, the truth, the unknown Locked up at war with the demons within I fight to live, I live to win. Switchback-taking life as each day comes Switchback-facing fears, I never run, Switchback-never quit until I'm done I'm the underdog and I will overcome...x2 ... The harder that I battle with life's deceit, The stronger I stand on my own two feet. If I allow the world to assimilate my mind, Will my freedom be forever denied? Will I no longer be free in my mind? Will my freedom be forever denied?....... Switchback-taking life as each day comes Switchback-facing fears, I never run, Switchback-never quit until I'm done I'm the underdog and I will overcome...x2 |

To turn my anger into love and keep my feet planted on the ground. To undo stigmas societies branded, misconceptions about being a man. To be grateful, take nothing for granted, to live the truth as best I can. I seek the truth whatever that may be, I seek the answers to questions, please God help me. To look at people and see no color, vision clear of prejudice or spite, To treat people just like my brother, for this I pray with all my might. To learn to let go of all my fears and learn to embrace all of my tears, To search for faith and humility, to walk the path which sets me free. Salvation, from society, damnation, have mercy on me. So many lies I told, so many lives I've sold. So far away from who I am I never understand. So many things I regret, so many things that I let Take me away from myself, too late to take it back. So many dreams I had, so many lives I've lived So many friends I said goodbye forever So amny times I wish, so many times I dream, Do it again, I swear I'd never. In my quest to uncover the truth the deepest wounds get left behind As I seek serenity from the war, from the war inside my mind. |

Where to run to, where to hide,
much too full to swallow my pride But I'm still haunted by something inside as if another part of me has died. Paralyzed, I close my eyes, the pain inside surrounds me, Petrified, life fades away, at the end of my rope I'm waiting. Sometimes I feel like I'm all alone, empty inside, out of control. My heart a void, my empty soul, until it's filed I'll never be whole. How did things ever get so bad, sinking empty, full of despair I find myself alone and scared, in a world where nobody cares. Paralyzed, I close my eyes, the pain inside surrounds me, Petrified, life fades away, at the end of my rope I'm waiting. .. A hopeless end, afraid deep inside Relief from my pain, the end a suicide? The tears I've cried have left me blind I yearn to find peace, a presence of mind. ... Where to run to, where to hide, much too full to swallow my pride But I'm still haunted by something inside as if another part of me has died. Paralyzed, I close my eyes, the pain inside surrounds me, Petrified, life fades away, at the end of my rope I'm waiting. Paralyzed, I close my eyes, the pain inside surrounds me, Petrified, life fades away, at the end of my rope I'm waiting. |

I said I'd stand with you forever if you needed me
Help, arm in arm, hand over fist and carry you when necessary Like a fool I thought we'd walk tall forever all as one When the going got tough you stopped pushing and turned to run. I tried so hard, so sad to watch you drown. You turned and pointed fingers at the truest friend you ever had, And I prayed to God you'd find relief from the things that made your life sad. We were down forever, together forever all as one, But when the time came to step up and do it right, I saw you turn and run I tried so hard, to help you hold it down You never helped yourself, so sad to watch you drown. I tried so hard, to help you save your life You never helped yourself, shut the door and say good -bye. .. You and me, eye to eye, hands tied together, live or die Walk tall forever, all as one, never again, you turned to run.... All for None .... You and me, eye to eye, hands tied together, live or die Walk tall forever, all as one, never again, you turned to run...... |

Unjustified persecution of my free mind.
I'm horrified, the cruel nature of you and your kind Crucified for just trying to be myself, Suicide, I'd rather die than live in your hell. I will not break, I will not bend, I will not go quietly, I will never bow down to them. I close my eyes, I can see more clearly, You criticize the things I hold dearly You victimize because you fear me It's your demise, you should have let me be. .. I will not break, I will not bend, I will not go quietly, I will never bow down to them. Break me. You won't break me Break me. You won't break me down ... The harder I swim against the tide the more it pulls me down Feel the pressure on my life, as I struggle and fight not to drown. Why do you, why do you try to break me, you'll never break me down I'll never let you break me, you'll never break me down. The more I try to live my life the harder you are on me There is no wrong there is no right, what will it take for you to see? Why do you, why do you try to break me, you'll never break me down I'll never let you break me, you'll never break me down Break me. You won't break me Break me.. down |

See the future, hate being unsure
Feel insecure, life without a cure Invade my body like it was your own A losing battle when challenged alone. I'm sick and tired of losing someone I love and admire I'm fucking tired of losing someone like you. How can you feel it unless it happens to you? Watching someone suffer there's nothing you can do. Sit and wait with love and hate, emotions, they destroy. I question my faith, how can a God, how can a God take? I'm sick and tired of losing someone I love and admire I'm fucking tired of losing someone like you. How can I worship a God who takes life away And leaves nothing but pain that never goes away. I lie in bed each night, struggle to fall asleep, Memories in my head, I pray my soul to keep. Tried an true, I get up everyday and say, Life's too short, no time to look the other way. Gotta face what's inside, I gotta do away With all the feelings behind my frozen heart, I pray. ... I'm sick and tired of losing someone I love and admire I'm fucking tired of losing someone like you. I'm sick and tired of losing someone I love and admire I'm fucking tired of losing someone like you. |

I will never forget what it is that you did to me,
And I will never understand why You insist upon inflicting pain and agony on me, forever everlasting. There's no way out, I'll never break free I will never forgive and forget how you abandoned me. There's no way out, I'll never break free I will never forgive and forget how you abandoned me All my fucking life I've kept my head held high, Respected myself through thick or thin, Never asked anybody for anything. I just want to live with peace and dignity But you insist on trying to bring me down. Where were you when I needed you, You were never around. I put my faith in you and you let me down. There's no way out, I'll never break free I will never forgive and forget how you abandoned me There's no way out, I'll never break free I will never forgive and forget how you abandoned me ... Where were you when I needed you, You were never around. I put my faith in you and you let me down. There's no way out, I'll never break free I will never forgive and forget how you abandoned me There's no way out, I'll never break free I will never forgive and forget how you abandoned me .... |

Out of sight and out of mind,
when you look at yourself do you find Everything you want to be or do you see what I see. Too late to change your life, step outside and say good-bye To everything you left behind, what you seek you may not find. As I shed my skin, I leave you behind As I shed my skin, I go on to a better life. Indecision fills my head, all the things I left unsaid, My heart is letting go, my pain you'll never know. If you love something set it free, what I love you took from me. Try to look, but you can't see, try to put the past behind me. As I shed my skin, I leave you behind As I shed my skin, I go on to a better life. As I shed my skin, I leave you behind As I shed my skin, I go on to a better life. How could you think it lasts forever, I sit and watch as you decline Can't you see it's gone forever, out of sight and out of mind. .. Twisted, broken, I sit and watch as you decline Help me, help yourself, out of sight and out of mind. ... I see you now on a different plane; broken, used up, pathetic, in pain, You scream and fight, deny the shame, your selfish heart is the one to blame. SO much time has filled the space since we've been standing face to face. Wasted breath I've tried to explain, still I see not a thing has changed. As I shed my skin, I leave you behind As I shed my skin, I go on to a better life. As I shed my skin, I leave you behind As I shed my skin, I go on to a better life. How could you think it lasts forever, I sit and watch as you decline Can't you see it's gone forever, out of sight and out of mind. |

Camouflage you close your eyes, hiding in plain sight
Wrapped tightly in blankets of lies, live whatever life you synthesize Disguise the truth about yourself, bury it six feet deep, Bring to life your deceit and stealth, lock the door and throw away the key. Hide behind your lies, I see through your disguise It leads to your demise, I see it in your eyes. Disarray your life slips into, falling apart at the seams, You can't understand what's going on, who you once were is forever gone. On and on the tangled web you weave, running from your past You listen to whatever you want to believe Too late karma comes around to you so fast. Hide behind your lies, I see through your disguise It leads to your demise, I see it in your eyes. Hide behind your lies, I see through your disguise It leads to your demise, I see it in your eyes. All you do is lie, cheat, deceive Everyone you hate, need believe All you do is lie. .. Flippin around the truth, you're slipping; Tighten the noose around your neck is ripping, Anything you wish, take a pen and script in Manufacture the truth all you do is lie… ... All you do is lie, cheat, deceive Everyone you hate, need believe All you do is lie, cheat, deceive Everyone you hate, need believe All you do is lie. |

It's easy to say we scream for change
when everyday we act the same. How can a troubled government make us scapegoats When we don't go out and vote. We're spewing, spouting, condemnation That the world we live in is a racist nation Since our opinions contradict our statements, We show our prejudiced affiliations. Decline of civilization A crime against humanity. In all our lies and our self pity It's time to stop our apathy. You say you're a victim in pain But you always prey on someone to blame. You want to end the suffering for the hungry and the poor When they ask for help you slam the door. You want housing for the public good But not in your own neighborhood. Industrial pollution makes you sick, But you ain't got time for politics. You want the world to be a better place For your children, your people, your friends or race, But selfish reasons drive us all, it's all for one and none for all. The truth means nothing in a world full of lies, Hypocrisy is man's demise. |

Treated unfairly, you resent everybody that has so much
Of the things in life that were taken away from you. So wrapped up in your misery, you never feel the love that surrounds you, So wrapped up in your misery, you never notice that life passed you by. You've waited all your life for the pain to go away Lock yourself inside a world that makes you hate. Left all alone, ignored by the one you need attention from For the things in life you never achieved on your own. He can't be bothered to care for you, to hold and respect and be there for you, He can't be a real father to you, some day he'll regret all the time that went by. You've waited all your life for the pain to go away And I've always hated to see you hurt inside. So much I try to help you but you push me away, Lock yourself inside a world that makes you hate Locked inside a world of hate. Beaten down for as long as you remember Your life was analyzed, criticized and dismembered Your hopes and dreams were suffering you've severed The pain you've endured, the suffering you've weathered You find it so hard to pull yourself together To face the world to your fears you surrender, You dream of a day you'll overcome and sever, The cycle of abuse and the pain you've carried forever. the pain you've carried forever.. ... You're not alone, there's so many others that cared for you, So many things in our lives you helped us all get through It means so much to me that you're here to share in my life And clam my fears, it means so much to me that you're alive, As you hold my child and wipe the tears from your eyes. You've waited all your life for the pain to go away And I've always hated to see you hurt inside. So much I try to help you but you push me away, Lock yourself inside a world that makes you hate You've waited all your life for the pain to go away Lock yourself inside a world that makes you hate.. |

Apocalypse fills my head,
fire and smoke turns the sky blood red, Thermonuclear warhead, chemical warfare, disease widespread. People kneel to the might of a figure head, mother earth lies silent on her death bed Into the fire the blind are led, five billion people will soon be dead. War is no solution to the conflicts that we face The end of our evolution, revolution, resist the hand of fate. Armageddon, the end draws near, reality becomes our biggest fear The future once seemed so free and clear, darkest hour, life disappears. Punishment for greed and lust, mass genocide, holocaust Foretold predictions of the end upon us, ashes to ashes, dust to dust. War is no solution to the conflicts that we face The end of our evolution, revolution, resist the hand of fate We wage a war which can't be won, Apocalyptic suicide, what have we done? Fire,, one day a great fire shall come Rain,, a cleansing rain will wash away the scum War,, blood thirsty savages we've become Revelation, judgment night and now we're done. I pride myself on my will to survive, I will fight to stay alive We've got the power, destroy or create, Terminate ourselves with our love for hate, Every night I kneel down and pray, There's nothing I can do to make it go away, We march for peace and scream for change But the dogs of war will forever remain. the dogs of war will forever remain... |

narrow East River flow with marrow, along side the bridge zombies pushing bodies in wheel barrels, bitches sterile follow on crutches of rusted arrows try to breath through esophagus stuffed with sparrows, the imperial, terrarembrium, the spherical, I turn the steering wheel and pull into a 7-Eleven, met up with Billy, Danny, Rob and Evan from the fucking Bio, yo we down for survival with acid raindrenched skin infest- ed by termites, hermaphrodites on bikes swing spikes, think twice as I try to pacify the pariah beside the driver and Shotgun kelly flips the visor, time to devise a plan to reverse the demise of man before he's met by the lastset of the sun, armageddon, no question to answer, disaster results from behavior patterns. Earth lay raped, escape to saturn in a capsule, thirteen days of travel. Upon arrival plans unravel, imbalance of chemical pheremones, clones with no genitals surround us, we can't fuck them, no means of reproduction. I hear a scream and turn in that direction, 33-23-33, I see seven, coming toward us, to reward us... Disorder, enter the Millenium, time gets shorter Disorder, behold a pale horse, new world disorder Armageddon, a new death is dawnin', I like the smell of napalm in the morning, four riders of the apocalypse descend from the north, a fear in my eye, I behold a pale horse. Armageddon, no time to cry we all die as the sky turns red, the missles start to fly. Factionstake action, eleven families rule, millenium approaches, survival of the roaches. Body armor will make you feel calmer or safe from the drama, deplow stealth military bombers, ass out, get down on your knees and pray; illuminati takes your soul on the eve of judgement day as the armies of darkness irradicate life and we all go to hell and satan fucks your wife. Strife, ter- ror without a minute to pray, human beings at odds, peace becom |
