Failure To Consent

Ever since the day we met
I've seen nothing but ignorance in you
And you remain the same
But I'm still pushing forward
You made yourself believe that you've been kissed by god
But when the smoke clears and the dust settles
You see a crooked image
A reflection of your arrogance
Consequences of foolishness
They say ignorance is bliss
Now drown in your blissful misery
When you start to doubt
And you try to plead your case
No one will listen
BURN
Arrogance
Foolishness
Ignorance
Misery

Shared Beliefs

Yeah I see you
In plain sight
By the way you walk
and the way you talk
It's clear to me
You stand for nothing
You aim for nothing
Yeah we get it
Give me a break
Just another kid
You wanna to be tough
But you're missing the point
Your lack of cause
Makes you fail to see
True passion and
Shared believes
Dedication for progress
And the strength to overcome
We extend an open hand
This life is not a trend
Discover the meaning
Reinvent yourself
The time we have must not be wasted
Be the change in a world of hate
Kindness is never a weakness
We're here for a reason
You gotta fight with the odds that you're given
Make sure you’re not causing doubt
For the things you’re taking in and out

Friends With The Enemy
03:26
|
|||
|
Keep your eyes closed
To preserve your comfort
Away from confrontation
A lost sense of dignity
You've become too fucking lazy
To defend the ideals
you once stood for
A fake image of righteousness
Shake the hand of the adversary
Welcome them with open arms
Your words deceive the shallow
But we see right through you
Friends with the enemy
You've set your morals aside
You can't claim this legacy
If you've given up the fight
Friends with the enemy
You let your morals die
No fucking compromise
For the ones who dehumanize
No half measures
Never back down

Not A Silent Witness
03:40
|

|
Screeching teeth and eyes rolled back
Expressionless, soulless stare
Visions of distress, diseased slumber
When I'm wake it's no fucking different
Mouth full of poison
Disgusted by all
Sucking my life force
Into the void
No soul is left clean
As we're all covered in filth
In the form of moral regress
Progress turns into a backwards process
How am I supposed to grasp
The reality of degradation
I can't help but feel like
It won't get better
Struggle to retain my sanity
As I witness the death of morality
Everything makes me sick but I don't have
The means to end it
Eternal decay of the human mind
The rat race and the well endowed
Each day seems closer to the end
And it still feels like eternity
There's no going back from this
Filling glasses, doing nothing
The generations to come will bear our burdens
Rip and tear through it all
Struggle to retain my sanity
As I witness the death of morality
Everything makes me sick but I don't have
The means to end it

Driven by all the wrong reasons
You deceive the youth
Truth be told what you say
isn't always the truth
Maybe once you stood for something
Something that you left behind
To pursue made up glory
And preach values that you don't have
You talk about it, but I doubt it
You just wanna be seen
And I've been here long enough
To know you're not what you claim to be
This is not your playground
Moral shouldn't get you fame
And you've been here long enough
To know this is not a game
Validated by the opinions
Of the uninformed
It doesnt matter what you're worth
Only what your image shows
I had to learn the hard way
Idols will always crumble
Cementing the one truth
You gotta be your own hero
I stand in the ashes
Of the bridges I have burned
My will is forged from the pain
Of the lessons that I've learned

Running to safety, driven by
panic no time to think
Too much light scarring the night
It's all burning down
Run for cover
Hold one another
Salvation is buried
In a field of dust and ruins
Grab the hand of the one you hold dear
Tell them you love them, even in fear
Hold close, hold tight
If there’s a god we should make it through the night
Blow after blow
Strike after strike
The earth will open up
Witness hell before our eyes
Nothing survives the blast radius
Apocalyptic weaponry
Decimates all you see
Young and old will meet their maker
In the face of liberty

Deprived Of Life
02:41
|
|||
|
Enslaved and used
Innocence, trapped and captured
Exploited for profit
Turned against each other
Beaten and bruised
Bloodied and desperate
A soul that's seen too much
Violently tested
But I still see the kindness in their eyes
You can never take it away
Through the hardship and struggle
They are brutally tamed
Your reign will crumble
You’ll be judged for your sins
As i still got air left to breathe
They’ll be protected by all means
The Passion will always survive
Compassion keeps us alive
For the ones who've fallen
We will fight to give life

Pressure
02:45
|

|
Pressure
In the air breathe
Pressure
Tightens it's grip on me
Days spent in desolation
And the fear of living in vain
A constant wave of tension
Boundless fucking pressure
The tide of doubt
Is bursting out
With overwhelming force
Crushing me once more
Years lost
Time wasted
But the enemy is faceless
Anger turns to apathy
What will become of me
I dont wanna carry on as a burden
I gotta strive to breathe with a purpose
I don't wanna live forever
If I can't live today
Gotta pick myself up and stand strong
In the face of uncertainty
Wash away

Exile
03:28
|
|||
|
Breathing hopeless air
Marching to our doomsday
Eyes filled with sin
Death, whispering it’s call
Consumed and thrown away
Without reason, without hope
All the color fades to grey
Living to be buried alive
In the wake of a new day
It all stays the same
No chance to recover
No hope for us all
EXILE
Trapped between two worlds
Not even a glimpse of freedom
Illusion deceives the eyes
Our senses drowned
We will rot we will burn
A million years of darkness
In a fever dream
Poisoning all
