The Concrete Confessional
This dream can't be, what it used to be, ever again I don't want this dream or the grievance it brings Can't justify greed at the cost of equality Tangled in endless archaic chains of power, profit, gain What about the poor bearing poverty's marks What about the sick whose lives are torn apart What about those whose rights aren't respected A nation of youth dejected It's time to rethink this dream you call American Corrupt beliefs, that some will call their heritage A burdened soul once searching for liberty Crowned in debt as the new face of slavery Died by design with a senseless hope and a never ending rope What about the leaders abusing authority Corrupt moral compass guarded bureaucracy What about those who died so we can live Our complacency must end It's time to rethink this dream you call American Corrupt beliefs, that some will call their heritage This dream can't be, what it used to be, ever again Spirits of the slain hiding in the corners of my mind Screaming when I kneel to look inside Stomach fucking turning and now it's disconcerting Fight fire with fire you'll see everyone's burning Turn on the TV for the murder spree Get distracted while they take your civil liberty Thoughts and prayers again, is that what it'll take? Which industries profit while lives are at stake Now hear the media fools discuss the killer's mind Staring at the screen to tell us what they find Manifesto, dollar, worship get on your knees So they can sell us a cure for the American disease It's time to rethink this dream that they call American Corrupt system of beliefs, some will call their heritage It's time to rethink this dream that they call American So one day it can mean something real again

Today is not the fucking day I sympathize with their pain Their negative ways Giving birth to endless cries and complaints I'm too close, just boiling with rage I choke on this feeling of war In my throat every day Swallowed every bitter pill, now I'm forced to chew Hearing every vicious word Their filthy mouths spew My thoughts descend into the abyss My heart is begging me to finish this Today I wish a motherfucker would try Think of someone other than themselves one time Today I wish a motherfucker would try To see this fucked up world through my eyes Please god don't let me act on these words And forgive those who choose to test my last nerve I see red, can't cleanse it away They took kindness for weakness Now they answer on this desperate day Wake up alone, again nothing's changed Infected my demons, all my visions become deranged Seven enemies to vanquish one by one Hatred blisters the surface of my tongue Today I wish a motherfucker would try Think of someone other than themselves one time Today I wish a motherfucker would try To see this fucked up world through my eyes Not today I thought they'd find a better way Today is not the fucking day

Leave no eye open To weep for the fallen A strange stillness Has started to sink in Inside the wall is scum and trash Blind from birth, only see what they lack Outside these walls, filth and shame Standing on unmarked asylum graves Something in the walls I hear them scratch, I hear them crawl Something in the walls The lurking fear has trapped them all When you're in league with vermin and bums It's no surprise all you get is crumbs When you're the worst, the worst of all kinds No one's shocked you're trapped inside Something in the walls I hear them scratch, I hear them crawl Something in the walls The lurking dread has trapped them all Something in the walls Blessed are the blind that feed them well Rats, rats

Sickness has come Disorder comes in many forms See the faces of angels deformed Moral decay, icons razed Witness another glimpse into the darkest age Welcome to chaos This is the fall of those who betrayed us Come one, die all Bodies put to flame as the heavens fall No shelter from the downpour Halos replaced by crimson thorns Weakness breaks all solemn vows Will all be deserted forever now From grace we've fallen In deceit we trust Delusions reign All thats iron turns to rust From grace we've fallen In deceit we trust Delusions reign What once was brilliant, now has turned to rust Sickness has come This has all become too much Atrocities like never seen before Innocence burns, children ripped from parent's arms Separation from this world Mankind reduced to feed the worms No on to shield us from this storm Saints now wear their bloodied crowns Weakness breaks all solemn vows Will all be forsaken forever now From grace we've fallen In deceit we trust Delusions reign All thats iron turns to rust From grace we've fallen In deceit we trust Delusions reign What once was brilliant, now has turned to rust Sickness has come This has left us in disgust The sickness has come

They say there's a sky above Can you see it from the hole they've dug Gotta have a soul first to sell it Everyone's got a story and they're dying to tell it In the land of blame, new cells with new strings Division and doubt is what they crave So fucking lost in a web of shit There's almost no one left that won't get caught in it Slaves to the screen Disciples of greed They want our end and they have the means Slaves to the screen Injustice machines Slaves to the screen Fanatics and fiends Disarmed by the powers that be When there's no one left to trust It's us against us Leaders crown with false patriotic wreath Spewing promises of opportunity Disillusioned, we imprison those Who numb their hearts and minds just to cope It's plain to see they don't even care Erasing equality, dismissing what's fair History forgotten conveniently Is destined to happened again repeatedly We are all just caught in the injustice machine

There's a beast in every man who breathes With him from birth until beside him in the grave A hideous presence just aching for release Its chains aren't as strong as its memory It lies dormant so far from dead Grating on me, this uninvited sense Its whisper like branches as they bend Twisting, grinding just threatening to snap Floods of frustration, cascading in my skull On the axis back and forth, the swinging pendulum So much damage, bashing each wall I hear the sand pounding in the hourglass as it falls Sometimes I just wish I could shut it all Off, off The endless rage that tells me something's Off, off The voice that's spitting lies, just turn it Off, off Tear away the scabs, I want them Off, off The demon on my back, just pull him off There it is again, telling you you can't That lump in your throat, you fight to swallow back There it is again, hoping that you won't Wishing failure but not giving up the ghost Silent voices, stabbing at peace Pushing off fingers from the ledge of sanity Like a thousand leeches, feeding on your wits Making something meaningless seem significant Sometimes I just wish I could shut it all Off, off The endless rage that tells me something's Off, off The voice that's spitting lies, just turn it Off, off Tear away the scabs, I want them Off, off The demon on my back, just pull him off This uninvited guest inside my brain With every threat whispered I feel nothing And when I'm at my best it intervenes How can I get anyone else to relate Silent voices, stabbing at peace On the edge, pushing my fingers off, off

Remember when is a phrase for fools The here and now is what I choose It was better then is a saying I dread Will they ever under-fucking-stand I don't regret Not one single shred I let the weak lament Now I'm eager to forget The past is like a virus to some it infects A vestige of thoughts that I once had Now they want to tell me that it's not the same Some of us follow a path they can't see Remember when is a saying I reject What if today is all that we get It was better then well then I don't recall Will they ever stand or just crawl I don't regret Not one single shred I let the weak lament Now I'm eager to forget Will they ever.. Will they ever.. Will they ever.. Under-fucking-stand

Evil infects this place All innocence Nailed to a stake I see murder, I see rape I see children slaughtered in their dreams Shedding blood, in its wake There's no end to the hate So we're headed into the flames As we're paralyzed in this state Aggression is their messiah Resentment filled with twisted desire Tempers reveal true repulsion Unending blind devotion Live, how can they live Breathe, how can they breathe Sleep, how do they sleep When there are children slaughtered in their dreams Taking solace, giving pause Now the effect becomes the cause So destructive, so numb Sacrifice will not be enough Progression can never be achieved Soulless in the fiber of their being Deliverance attained by none Expression suppressed once again Butchered, maimed Mangled as they slept Slaughtered, tortured The part we've forgotten Was never to forget Slaughtered, tortured, murdered in their sleep The story we are told is a horror to believe How do we exist, rest and breathe Go about our lives with children dying as they dream

They seek out the sick, the weak and the lame To find their flaws and scatter the bait All joy will be buried for their primal urge To lessen the strain and cull the herd All they want is to silence the flock More helpless prey in their endless hunt We must be prepared, prepared to strike In that moment they come knocking in the night Wolves don't lose sleep Over the cries of sheep They awake baring teeth From nights of predator dreams Bare my teeth, shed my skin Let me embrace the apex within They hunger death, I'll give them more Become the hunter with wolves at my door Little do they know the hunt is now for them This grey line between us growing so thin Inclined to aggression with violence in mind Are we too foolish to see the divide Wolves don't lose sleep Over the cries of sheep Bare my teeth, shed my skin And embrace the apex within Wolves don't lose sleep Over the cries of sheep They awake baring teeth From nights of

You only know life's worth When you're taken to a place where life means nothing You only know what hurts When you dig to a place where the pain stops coming Some days will give you the ground Some days will give you the rope Someone will hand you the poison Who is it that pours it down your throat Follow follow What your gut is telling you or Swallow swallow Swallow what they're feeding you Death is on one side, the other is life Neither seems bright when you're walking the knife Follow follow What your gut is telling you or Swallow swallow Swallow what they're feeding you Looking at both sides, foes or friends Lighting the candle that burns at both ends You only know love's weight When you're carried to a place where acceptance is real You only put your faith In the places you know it's truly sincere Failure's on one side, the other is growth Neither is a choice when you're beneath the earth Follow follow What your gut is telling you or Swallow swallow Swallow what they're feeding you Follow follow What your gut is telling you or Swallow swallow Swallow what they're feeding you Death is on one side, the other is life Neither seems bright when you're walking the knife

When the end of sanity comes to you What will the silence say Will you express any remorse or throw decency away Clear conscience is forfeit when a heart's played false by praise Harmony ends swiftly, withers, dies and dissipates Always unwilling to give, so self-obsessed without respect Always unwilling to give but they take take take So many unfazed by greed, just arrogant so ignorant So many in dire need but they wait wait wait Then comes forth a message A lesson you'll surely learn Confidence is fragile so we see the damage earned A propped up false identity, bearing a faceless mark Dignity was not preserved, now we're at a loss All I hear is dissonance

I've heard them all say the road to hell is paved With intentions of the good at heart Their morals keep them watching Redemption is flaunted But temptation is so hard to ward off Hell, is the grin of the sadist preacher Hell, the taste of every sin and vice Hell, the eyes of the obedient masses At the bottom's where you'll Dwell and smile like the smug entitled Dwell among the waste in exile Dwell with the needle in your fucking arm You serve your masters well Now serve your masters in hell Flesh needs flesh Blood needs blood Have you served your masters well enough Lust needs lust Hate needs hate You live in the hell you create You serve your masters so well Their nightmares are made of songs hell's choir sings The screams of the damned so clear The rivers of fire, oceans of blood Will pale in comparison to here Hell, hell, hell You serve your masters well Hell, truest horrors of man come to life Hell, ancient lies that dull and deprive Hell, preying on confusion and torment At the bottom's wher you'll Dwell, with everyone casting judgement Dwell, imprisoned by belief and mindset Dwell, never being true to yourself
