Disarray
Album • 2002
I’ve been cursed, betrayed Tortured without remorse in this land of waste On this earth I decay Hater of all - an image I portray For as a child I was convinced You get what you give, you get what you earn But now I realize the truth These words of old were nothing more than false hope My left swept aside The corporate American dollar dictates the ride To my name not a dime The wealthy laugh and prosper as I die But as a child I was convinced You get what you give, you get what you earn Now I realize the truth These words of old were nothing more than false hope Our hearts grow bitter as the truth unfolds In the depths of the wreckage one word says all… Hate

I’ve been given nothing All that I have I’ve gotten on my own Ain’t got a pot to piss in I hope one day I’ll reap all I have sown Seen many peers go to the top Still these shallow trenches I call home The system loves to drag me down But time and time again I get back up And I stand tall, my pride is bruised yet I’m content Not all success is measured in dollars and cents I blink my eyes and your fifteen minutes are up As time goes by look who’s still around And to this day I know what I’m talking about To this day I’ve got both feet on the ground To this day I play what I feel in my gut To this day I bow down to no one To this day I’ve been working so long And still the break I need hasn’t showed up Sometimes I feel like giving in But something tells me I still ain’t had enough I try and try and try again To finally gain the status I deserve Rejection fuels the fire So set my soul ablaze and watch me burn In this corporate world the hype and image make me sick When it’s for real the fame and money don’t mean shit I blink my eyes and your fifteen minutes are up As time goes by look who’s still around

Just because I laugh doesn’t mean I’m happy I was just envisioning your death Just because I’m known don’t mean I got it easy Actually my life’s a total wreck Just because I speak doesn’t mean I like you I could care less if you live or die Just because I’m broke doesn’t mean I’m struggling You can’t get ahead in this world so I don’t try What’s gonna be is gonna be There ain’t a damn thing I can do Gain some strength from the pain Or you can die there It’s up to you Voice of reason Just because I scream doesn’t mean I’m crazy I’m just relieving stress from my poor mind Just because I’m alone doesn’t mean I’m lonely I’ve got the same number of friends as my back’s got knives

The hourglass slowly drains of life Pressures and stress burn my insides Taking chances, collect what’s mine Do all I can within this lifetime In the race for myself I control the outcome Coward people conform their minds Stick with the normal, live half assed shit lives Not for me I try to be the best If I fail I’ll take the consequences In the race for myself I control the outcome These open wounds I self inflict These open wounds I self inflict If I risk nothing I will gain nothing I will be nothing These open wounds I self inflict

Abuse me for your sole enjoyment Bore me with your piss pathetic lives Enjoy the hell you’ve brought upon me It’s coming back on you multiplied The never ending quest for it The never ending quest for revenge You kick my legs out from under me Now you’d best watch your back when I rise Cause I’ll break your arms and rip your spine out Throw glass shavings in your eyes The never ending quest for it The never ending quest for revenge I have traveled down a road paved with tears I have fought my way through life all these years But soon I’ll get my chance to win Soon I’ll thrive Soon I will put an end to my strife Revenge

Scenic route to hell with no resistance Though it’s been a struggle it’s something I’d never change Since I was a child I have always known There’d be many miles of nasty ass road But compromise equals regret Around the world enough to find You go for broke or fall in line Nothing to fear, could die today But for now I’m riding down the path I paved Your negative views do not affect me You’re the definition of what I don’t want to be People waste their lives spinning in the dirt But when all is said and done what’s it all worth? Yeah compromise equals regret Around the world enough to find You go for broke or fall in line Nothing to fear, could die today But for now I’m riding down the path I paved The path of no regrets

Something burns in my mind, yeah Through the mile high flames of hell I walked alone, head held high Years of struggle and here I stand Still I have to prove myself When will I own your respect? Waited all my life to live So I could see this day Invested all my time in this I will not let you take it away from me Cause I’ve come this far and I ain’t turning back Heart filled of rage and war I will not be taken out My point of existence, reason to live My childhood dream, my destiny My lifelong mission until my final breath This life’s a lesson will I learn from it? Pushing the boundaries of an indie band All of this I do myself no helping hand, nothing Stab me end my suffering Years of sacrifice and pain Still the light at the end of the tunnel burns Waited all my life to live So I could see this day Invested all my time in this I will not let you take it away from me Cause I’ve come this far and I ain’t turning back Heart filled of rage and war I will not be taken out My point of existence, reason to live My childhood dream, my destiny My lifelong mission until my final breath This life’s a lesson, will I learn from it or not? I can’t tell if I’ll be here past today So I’ll keep moving onward Until I depart from this world

Staring in the face of God Wondering how I let myself fall down this low I hate myself I hate my life Wish I could turn back time and not be born My life Spend my time in an endless grind This is what I have become A victim of a system that I cannot rise above But I will not submit myself To your world of greed I will not surrender my life To the powers that be The powers that Powers that be All my life I’ve been a slave Held down by the factors I can’t control You force feed pain, manipulate I’m sickened by everything that you stand for My life Spend my time in an endless grind This is what I have become A victim of a system that I cannot rise above But I will not submit myself To your world of greed I will not surrender my life To the powers that be The powers that Powers that be Weight of this fallen world pulls me under Try to lift myself from the ashes The powers that be

You’re just another spoiled fake, upper class ass wipe Family money paid your way straight into the spotlight But it all becomes so apparent Your weakness, despair seem to Rise above, rise above the second-rate hype One of those things where you are given more than due And still you think that the world owes you a favor That’s not the way I feel You never had your share of hard times and pain, I’ve had mine It’s been a day to day never-ending uphill climb Still I go the distance through pain and persistence While you’re content with the boundaries set I define There will come a day when you choke on your silver spoon And when you finally reach your rock bottom, just remember I’ll be standing until the death

In a frail mental state Can’t pick myself up from this all time low Looking back on past days Where I have been, what have I done? My frustration escalates To the point of self-extinction For I have been thrown into this hell My day to day fight to exist, there’s no point in life Nothing to gain Hatred builds within me Blistered mind erosion Darkness swallows me whole Demons live in my burned soul Reached the end of my chain Can’t find a reason to proceed on Like a pistol, point blank I’m expected to fucking go off Innocent lives I’ll take Without reason, without remorse

I close my eyes and think of ways I can rise above A world that wants me To fade away and never matter at all Nobody told me life would be so unkind They’re always messing with my mind I’m a survivor My scars are deep and my body’s worn And while the world cowers I stare straight into the eye of the storm Father told me to prepare for a fight Make the most of your life That’s why Never back down Pile on the pressure, gonna roll right through This time I’m not gonna be sent home Stand up, scream out Keep your head held high, yeah win or lose You’ve got to do all that you want Before your life is gone
