War for an Idea
Self-destructive preservation Cocoon sustains, dissolves my resolve My own worst critic, my enemy A slave to my own hatred of life And the need to reinvent, to grow Though I wish no ill will on you I cannot stand any of your Acceptance of the inevitable What if it wasn't us this time Golden goose beat to death by jealous hands Bloated by past pious plans So now we'll starve Everything I could ever build or do Will all fade away and die just like you A simple existence, is insufficient I'm exhausted and unrepentant What if it wasn't us this time Golden goose beat to death by jealous hands Bloated by past pious plans So now we'll starve Resilient or regenerate I'll never show you which But I know, skinny shoes Get you nowhere on this unstable ground Nowhere Never have been good at math It never served my purpose anyway Laws of physics have no hold on me Twist life to my own cross-eyed view And if I'm not moving faster Than everything in my way I'm consumed with the feeling of failure Not content unless I lead the way What if it wasn't us this time Golden goose beat to death by jealous hands Bloated by past pious plans So now we'll starve Everything I could ever destroy or do Will all fade away and die just like you Simple existence, is insufficient I'm exhausted and unrepentant

You're making it hard not to hate you You've convinced yourself that you're fighting for your life Well now you are If those words are your justification Then fuck your god Look, I get it We've been power drunk But you're not making your point With a bomb, gun and knife Look, I get it I love the underdog as well But when you kill innocents you're Just asking us to show you why I won't pray for peace 'Cause that's what got us here In the first place You're making it hard not to hate you You've convinced yourself that you're fighting for your life Well now you are If those words are your justification Then fuck your god Look, I get it You've been wronged collaterally Left in the sand to struggle till you die But you're just proving why Look, I get it Your god tells you this dirt is your birthright But you're still acting like philistines No matter which flag you fly And for the record, fuck 'em all You're making it hard not to hate you You've convinced yourself that you're fighting for your life Well now you are If those words are your justification Then fuck your god Look, I get it Your ancestors died for liberty But this metal you hold dear has Done more harm than good Look, I get it You feel righteous justification Saving babies outweighs her choice but It shows that you don't know struggle You're making it hard not to hate you You've convinced yourself that you're fighting for your life Well now you are If those words are your justification Then fuck your god Goddamn, I get it This is the best humanity is capable of We are tribal and can only consume, destroy or procreate But at least don't be a bitch And take responsibility

Sun rising through this windshield Rubber on this open road Singing tales of our conquests And battles we were told were lost Aches replace money, fear Earned inheritance proud to call our own Losing nothing but leeches Nothing but leeches along the way Warships sailed away and, left us Here burning bridges Staring at the sun for their return, dead set To justify pyromania Footings laid by liars and self-servants Will all be lost in flames It will build bright beacons For those blinded, by the smoke May the flames we ignite Light the darkness of their transgression Foster progression And carry through those honest few Those honest few Warships sailed away and, left us Here burning bridges Staring at the sun for their return, dead set To justify pyromania Until wolves have historians Tales of the hunt will always Glorify the hunter Warships sailed away and, left us Here burning bridges Staring at the sun for their return, dead set To justify pyromania Footings laid by liars and self-servants Will all be lost in flames It will build bright beacons For those blinded, by the smoke May the flames we ignite Light the darkness of their transgression Foster progression And carry through those honest few May the bridges that we burn Light your way

Morality is plain to see Without dogma or bended knee You, me, we three Every man for himself Tune this tune into A lifetime that I have been through Therapy for little ol' me And hopefully a new view Morality is plain to see Without dogma or bended knee You, me, we three Every man for himself Holy, rusted But you can still put your trust in Me Morality is plain to see Without dogma or bended knee You, me, we three Every man for himself Admission of the unexplained Memory retained or planted Or taken for granted Admission of the unexplained Memory retained or planted Or taken for granted Holy, rusted But you can still put your trust in Me And stand on my back But don't forget I'll build back I'll build back again I'll build back again from nothing From nothing Morality is plain to see Without dogma or bended knee You, me, we three Every man for himself Spirits, gods or weakened states Echoes of fates that you fear Transmitted electronically, now sonically Chilling all that you hold dear Holy, rusted But you can still put your trust in Me Holy, rusted But you can still put your trust in Me Holy, rusted But you can still put your trust in Me

Simple not stupid Proud of every callus Every brick in your palace Every scar, even those Driven by emotion And a bottle or two Narrow roads, wide axles Tall trees hold secret histories Your turn to make your name Worth the lives your ancestors gave Rebel pride Doesn't mean that you're blind Prove your worth Find a new flag to call Our own Honest, maybe to a fault Never had sleeves Never anything up them Proud your word is your bond Time to show the will to Own your legacy Crushed cans, empty bottles Liquid affects what reflects but Look honestly, look hard Be the change I know you are Rebel pride Doesn't mean that you're blind Prove your worth Find a new flag to call Our own You don't need ignorance You don't need cowardice Parading as your deliverance Broad shoulders carry the weight of generations Rebel pride Doesn't mean that you're blind Prove your worth Find a new flag to call Our own Don't lose focus We're just dust and rust Following this jet stream Lead for your kin Citizen of this planet Don't take it for granted Your tribe like any other Whether you admit it or not The easy road to hate, discriminate Prove that you are better than fate Rebel pride Doesn't mean that you're blind Prove your worth Find a new flag to call Our own

The calming quiet of 1 AM When your eyes match the color of the stars I'd give up everything to stay right here You calm my mind and you heal my scars And I regret that I have but one life to live Fist full of feathers Our angels just out of reach, oh And I regret that I have but one life to give to you Make me the place that you hide And whoa oh, we will survive And I regret that I have but one life to live Fist full of feathers Our angels just out of reach, oh And I regret that I have but one life to give to you You stand before me naked and eclipse the world In the pale light that makes us look like one Why can't the rest of the world be this pure Together, we will survive this hell And I regret that I have but one life to live Fist full of feathers Our angels just out of reach, oh And I regret that I have but one life to give to you Make me the place that you hide And whoa oh, we will survive That cleansing feeling of the summer night's air When all the stars seemed to hold us there Together we'll watch this world melt away From our rooftop fortress home Make me the place that you hide And whoa oh, we will survive

Hide and beat Little man scared and weak Dishonor, despite any culture Unforgivable institution gone on too long Climb on a stool Look me in the eye Tell me why you're not man enough to control The most base instinct, the most basic desire How can you justify rape? You betray your creator I can’t wait to watch you grow to hate yourself Pathetic excuse for existence If you can't respect those Who gave you life Your mother, your daughter, your wife How can you justify rape? You betray your creator I can't wait to watch you grow to hate yourself Once again religion and abuse hand in hand Perversion of the ideal and life itself You’re a disgrace to the god you serve No matter which one No fear no shame Your culture Must be destroyed I have no pity Your own actions the only true dishonor You invalidated your life the moment that you chose to harm her How can you justify rape? You betray your creator I can't wait to watch you grow to hate yourself You're a disgrace to the god you serve No matter which one

I didn’t know I wasn’t breathing Until you couldn’t If you’ll forgive me I’ll choke the world for you My hands around your throat Still haunts me to this day That one moment of true regret Buckles my knees at the very thought of it Holding my breath, trying to kill the memory Penance and pain, all in vain That rage inside of me Aimed at you erroneously No apology will rectify I will atone for the rest of my life I didn’t know I wasn’t breathing Until you couldn’t If you’ll forgive me I’ll choke the world for you My hands around your throat The way I've dreamed to do to enemies But clearly couldn't carry through with anyway Even if they deserved it Time to put these hands to better use They’ve just been diggin' my grave thus far That rage inside of me Aimed at you erroneously No apology will rectify I will atone for the rest of my life I didn’t know I wasn’t breathing Until you couldn’t If you’ll forgive me I’ll choke the world for you If you’ll forgive me I’ll choke this world for you

All my heroes are vilified All my heroes are left behind So why not me Pushing harder just makes it harder to hold on This train is flying downhill now Letting go is worse than pushing on All my heroes are vilified All my heroes are left behind So why not me An impending failure haunting me again Unattainable goals seem to be the only worthy ones I know I'm breaking myself And all of us in the process Oh, incapable of hindsight My reflection's in the flames All my heroes are vilified All my heroes are left behind So why not me My body burning as I struggle on A charred corpse is success enough for me Proof of a life lived every moment until my death This reflection will not fade away I know I'm breaking myself And all of us in the process Instinct is the antithesis of evolution Comfort is the crutch that holds you down

These bridges will burn Lighting this path into the distance Both a homage to those who have inspired us And hopefully inspiration to any of you listening now Entire races are fighting just to live equally And be ignored by opportunist oligarchs One third of the population faces death daily From guns, gods or just a lack of water One third of women worldwide face violence Because they are the fairer sex And insecure little men can't handle it In the grand scheme of things What have we done? What can we do? I don't know that there is a simple answer to that But I can promise we will never quit asking If you see me, ask For now May the bridges we burn light your way We've burnt a few Following those who've stood taller than us Those who sacrificed more than we needed to Those who fought harder than we had to And we will burn more Every single one we have to Let us educate, inform, inspire each other Hold each other's feet to this fire These bridges will burn Let's make sure they're worth it
