Empires
Stripped down, emptied, left with nothing What the fuck did we work for? To be taken. castrated. I would give anything just to know your name So I can have my part in your fall I really just want to take back what's mine But what goes will come around to you. As I walk into an empty room Struck by an instant heart beat I feel the impending sense of doom Weigh down upon me I need a name along with a face To displace the outrage When nobody knows a goddamn thing It's time to realize we're fucked It's hard when there's no solution and we try to face the world with broken limbs If and when you're found then you'll be the one Then you will be the one to be left without a single fucking thing I'm falling to the ground And I'm feeling sick But really we are the ones who have been taken for our everything A berren sentiment of hopelessness attacks me Caving in my brain amazed it happened to me And the stress that follows is the part that really is tearing a hole inside of me. I try to look ahead for some sort of resolve, but while they are still breathing then the problem can never be solved. Defenseless, helpless can't stop thinking about taking my vengeances Can't believe that we were the ones dealt this. Numb to the world, feeling senseless. I guess I just accept the beating and try to forget this, and it's not my fault but I still regret it. It's not about pity and aggression Numb to the world and feeling senseless When you break your fucking back for some asshole to walk off with your life it is har to see the fucking point. I try to be productive but I can't escape the animosity Consumed with daydreams of cranial departure. I want to smash your fucking face So this is to whoever you are, I hope that it was worth it So this is to whoever you are, I'll sleep with one eye open for you This is to whoever you are... Fuck YOU.

What is the capacity of our lives How much shit can we fit to satisfy the fetish Of material commodities Possessions, the ruler of happiness I can't resist the overindulgence in this shit In order to truly understand our ridiculousness I would have to been stripped Taken away from my ever-growing mountain of bits It's not just a disorder of the rich It's nearly American to be stuck in this ditch Even when the majority is living in the pits At what fucking point can we agree that we really have enough? As the mountain forges upward, we suffocate in an abundant heap of our own chattels Assets like a drug, to satisfy Sufficiency is a dream The modern perception of adequacy is a fucking disgust Desire is an infinite void with out borders that can never fulfill the eternal lust If only we could see the boundaries Perhaps we would be able to draw the line to separate what we truly need Self-gratification seems to come wrapped in plastic With a price tag on it and every fucking store seems to have it We are told to soak it up To keep a full cup And this is considered a blessing What the fuck?

How can we grow if we are living in the past? Where progression is condemned and life is only just a path To an unknown unreal existence Better yet how can anyone believe it? You told me that Jesus loves us all but you sleep on the streets. You pray to god every night but your family can't eat I know that your aren't stupid, so what are you doing? It is not just yourself its the fucking world that it's screwing His eternal love has bred and epidemic of hate. Killed off our free will and replaced it with fate Until our seeds are born unpoisoned and uncontaminated Future generations will only know miseducation It's a scary situation when it's captured most of the entire fucking nation. I wish more than anything, for society to change, Stop Killing! Stop dying over religion and relying on god to feed their children Living life with out feeling It's a degradation to humanity, to believe that we all subserviently accept a Life of disease and wage slavery and they continue to teach the kids their Lives are out of their reach The cyclical onslaught leaves a bloody red chord in the name of the imaginary almighty lord. Everyone is killing each other because god loves us all. There's no hope for change unless this bullshit falls. There can be no peace until we murder the lord. Religion is a drain on society, and has held us back for centuries Countless acts of violence and atrocities Committed in the name of a supreme being Evolution means anti religion, and until we get there society is living in a fucking prison Because of a unsightly regressive history decorated with war There can be no peace till we murder the lord.

What the fuck Petrified, frozen I can't believe it I was wrong, but what the fuck are they? All 60 million of them Remove my blindfold of optimism so I can feel the ignorance come alive What is the appeal of deception and ignorance? This is bigger than your front door, your gun. I cry for the world, and every Fallujah that will ever happen in our future To the rest of the world, just know that we are sorry and that we care whether you live or die. Feels like I'm fighting against a brick wall and I can't help but feel like giving up Come on..Wake up and see that there's some other shit going on! It goes far beyond and unfortunately I learn that in this war I am just a pawn. There is no hope, seems like my only option is to not give a fuck and cope. Because when ignorance reigns, it really rains blood in the rest of the world and at home we're still all fucked. Just take a look around, look at what we have done Just take a look around, look at what we have become I can't lie to myself I boil in disgust when confronted with what's real And this time it was, but what about the rest of us, and those whole will die all because. So give in to the empire, let the bombs fly I pledge allegiance to nothing What is left to hope for? When things continually get worse And what is there to love, when I despise what I see happening I can't lie To myselft I can't love what I hate I am sorry but you are failing me and you failed the entire fucking world United they stand but divided we are All spit on your name until the day that you fucking fall.

Wake up, fight back, open your eyes and see that we are under attack Take it for granted and they will take it all right back Right back is where we are going, regression to the Dark Age Open up our present lives and it's another fucking black page Read between the lines and it's another black page Prepare for the oncoming storm, the shadows will plague this world for years Social apocalypse from fucked up politics, prepare to be ruled Welcome to the hell you have created, not even your lord approves I hope you are all happy, but I want change or I want out The association with this addiction is far too shameful for me to just smile Acceptance is castration Apathy is too difficult when disgust boils my blood Welcome to a world eradicated of love Soon I am going to explode The cultural divide breeds believers of the lies No solution on either side, just waiting for a change of tide Chaos, all I see is madness, how the hell could anyone let this shit happen? Cuz when it's all fucked up, maybe they will realize that they're all stuck Soon we're going to crawl back to living in a cave FAce the consequences because you dug your own grave The setbacks and atrocities will be the markers of our age The next chapter of our lives is just another black page So here I am screaming, tired and ugly Get the fuck off me, you can't fucking touch me Wake up, fight back, open your eyes and see that we are under attack Take it for granted and they will take it all right back

Pressure is building I'm going to explode I can't escape this self destructive mode Hang in there it will be ok I promise there will be a better day I won't let you turn your back We will struggle through the days I can't watch you check out On all the the promises that you've made I'm there for you all the time I wish I could stop you from this better crime (SUICIDE) I forced myself in, I locked myself out Now I'm just another face in the crowd That's not true you're one of a kind Don't let this world pull you behind Times are rough I think I had enough I've got to break free from the world's hand cuffs I can't wait until the fucking end If you won't do it, I'll put a bullet in my head Grab my hand for my last breath As my tortured soul creates death Hang in there it will be ok I promise there will be a better day The tears in my eyes won't let me see what my own fucking mind is doing to me I wish I could save you this needs to stop right now but all I can do is ask myself HOW

Everything is fine did you really believe it Sold to the nation, but just simply repeated Could not imagine it was all their imagination Indoctrination of a mere creation Towering over the world It's all for the safety of your family But any further questions Render you the new enemy It's like war is peace And freedom is slavery Ignorance is strength and is treated as bravery Payback for daddy And all your buddies are happy I won't believe the fucking lies An Orwelian nightmare seems to be the times I was marching in the streets because I saw the fucking signs Of a worldwide onslaught to feed the fucking giant I will not believe the fucking lies I can't take any more news seeling a product Try to keep me quiet, I won't be silent They told me to soak it up fast and join the national brainwash hastily Pop back your prescription and god bless us all as the world goes fucking crazy. Pledge allegiance to the lies, and to the disguise So we can dampen out the cries and let the bombs fly To what ends must we contend? Overpower, control in the name of defense I don't know how the world is going to deal with it Since we're struck with another four years of this shit Now they found your man but when will we see the final cost And in the end, how many lives were lost Not yours, or any of your peers' Tear our fucking families apart, and now for over a year I would rather die, than kill for you You fucking scumbag, FUCK YOU!!! Sell it to the nation like it's the fucking superbowl But I know not to play their role I can't stomach another dose of their lies "Kill for this! Die for this!" even though the truth is right in front of you eyes Lies.

The dream is dead and seldom lived So there has to be a better way than just hoping to be rich But I look around and what I see Plutocracy You're purose is to pollute me, to degrade me Plutocracy sign my name unwillingly agree to fucking slavery I know it fucking sucks, but what can I do I've got to hold on, have to try to make it through When we are left on our own to freeze, every man is the enemy Spend my life to improve his Toil while he is spoiled It doesn't make sense Everyday it kills me But what can I do To be a part of the system is to be ruled No one is given a fair chance and at times life is a gamble Brought it to existence born already wearing the capitalist shackles. Push me to the bottom and crush me into the earth HOw low I go or tall I stand traces back to my birth Use it to defile my freedom and despoil my home Desecrate my mind and my life as a whole I know there is more to life than this, but I can't just forget You want to feed yourself, then place your bet The only true freedom from this shit is isolation But I won't live interned to a cage in captivation

Self-soothing, self-improving but not long 'till we start shooting Trained to be insane and punished for the same Consider this a withdrawl of my own name Where the fuck are we after two thousand years. What have we become? Just some cavemen with guns, almost like life is a game and we do it just for fun Disable your brain and make your move to insane Just do your fucking job and you won't be the one to blame We are always the ones to blame. I want to live free, no masters, no gods Stay young until I die but somehow that's odd A purposeful facade suppressing who we are... They ruined freedom so I am going to shut it down Progress is less than gradual when we are still killing each other, seems like we will go a full circle end up back in trouble I'm going to stand tall above the oppression above the hate Stand firm on my own two feet, I know it's hard but I am going to carry my weight. Fuck ignorance, I'd rather be the invisible man, and stay the fuck out of their master plan Live my life, the way that I am supposed to, as a human, not as a fucking drone. Every day, I look around and I see what we value and it boggles my mind I can't participate any more Shut it down!
