Sticker this, censor this, ban this We've got something to say Police this, condemn this, damn this We'll be heard anyway Middle finger is the flag that I wave when I'm silenced... Listen here... Is it a possibility That we're all just equal? Slam the power down Abusing... Does it piss you off to be beat at your own game You lead us with false morals and shelter reality No more...we're not buying your product when You're selling The words preaching silence Insult me in my home When you were never invited To live life on your curve Frustrating Throw sticks into the spokes To relieve insecurities Stifle all ascension and sticker our freedom of speech So wrong Sticker this, censor this, ban this We've got something to say Police this, condemn this, damn this We'll be heard anyway Middle finger is the flag that I wave when I'm silenced... Silenced... Don't tell me what I want Don't tell me what I need Don't tell me how I need to feel I feel, goddamn nothing Dig the eyes out of my face and I can still see right Fuckin' through you Fuck you and everything you are I'm me, we're us and that's all Closed mind with a forum to criticize Keep your policy and I've got mine Exploit me, fabricate your lies We empower these cowards just to be left in Silence Listen here... Stand on my soapbox And speak my own piece Whatever you may think It's real Prevail through what is me And step on your beliefs Thieving spineless sellouts, robbing our integrity Sticker this, censor this, ban this We've got something to say Police this, condemn this, damn this We'll be heard anyway Middle finger is the flag that I wave when I'm ...

Do I deserve these beatings? Hating me Well, then cut, cut the noose and let me fall away I'm growing weak and tired of you And your little shoving games, fucking pushing me You pulled the trigger Trapped in the wake of your dream You're all killers, always fucking pushing me Insulting me, I've overcome I have found the strength of gods in me Crushing all unwilling, this is so unstoppable Hard as nails, hook that holds Reach down and find the strength of many in you My sanctuary calling my name So I run through to the light weeping through a cloud Darkened by a tainted dream of me Being pummelled by the tide crushing, killing me But I can't wake up Trapped in the wake of a dream You're all killers, always fucking pushing me Insulting me, I've overcome I have found the strength of gods in me Crushing all unwilling, this is so unstoppable Hard as nails, hook that holds Reach down and find the strength of many in you I arise in the Place of the Gathered of Waters, through the rolled back cloud of night, from the Father of Waters run forth through the spirit, rending asunder the veils of darkness, there was but a vastness of silence and of depth in the Place of the Gathering of Waters Terrible was the silence of an uncreated world, immeasurable the depth of that abyss. And the Countenances of Darkness half-formed arose, they abode not; they hasted away; and in the vastness of vacancy the Spirit moved; and the light-bearers existed for a space I have said: Darkness of the Darkness; are not with the Countenances of Darkness fallen with the kings that were? Do the Sons of the Night of Time endure forever? Not yet are they passed away Call it, call a truce I believe it, in it more and more comfort Purge the truth, I'll believe it I'm so weak and sore, shadowed Hide and seek, but you never looked I wait behind the door Call out, bite the hand that is feeding Compassion, no more I hope I never wake up Dream sewing filters, distort reality of what is mine Through light, this mind awakens I draw the line from then and now, awake and dreaming Forgotten past, future becomes mine Throw the chains all away Take control of your life Powers known, this is my Throw the chains all away Take control of your life Powers known, this is my dream You're all killers, always fucking pushing me Insulting me, I've overcome I have found the strength of gods in me Crushing all unwilling, this is so unstoppable Hard as nails, hook that holds Reach down and find the strength of many in you

Always, known in, all my time A little left of center now Reflect as I realize That all I need is to find the middle pillar path to sit like the sun by a star in the sky and just be Sinners, casting stones at me I, I stand, not crawling Not falling down I, I bleed the demons That drag me down I, I stand (For nothing) Not crawling (The center) Not falling down (Of calms within the eye) I, I'll bleed (For no one) The demons (But myself) That pull me down (For me and no one else) Goodbye, sunshine, I've put it out again, sad I'm over, personalities, conflicting I don't need you, or anyone, but me I'll just be, living my own life I feel my glowing center grow, infecting I feel alive Shovel dirt over lime Plant it in myself to sit like a seed under covers of earth and just be Sinners, pointing fingers at me I, I stand (For nothing) Not crawling (By myself) Not falling down I, I'll bleed (or no one) The demons (But myself) That drag me down I, I stand (For nothing) Not crawling (The center) Not falling down (Of calms within the eye) I, I'll bleed (For no one) The demons (But myself) That pull me down (For me and no one else) Come play kill (Refuse my body, refuse my shadow) Stone cold will (Refuse to lead this, refuse to follow) Bitter pills (Refuse to feed this, refuse to swallow) I'm fueled godless Come play, come play (Kill) Just be, just be, just be, just be, just be, just be I, I stand (For nothing) Not crawling (By myself) Not falling down I, I'll bleed (For no one) The demons (But myself) That drag me down I, I stand (For nothing) Not crawling (The center) Not falling down (Of calms within the eye) I, I'll bleed (For no one) The demons (But myself) That drag me down (For me and no one else)

When everything is lost (Peel it all away) Haunting us with questions (Asking) Will we ever find the smile inside? (No) Is it hidden behind the sweating eyes? (Bleeding) Dead inside a scream that's pouring from me I'm planted in this skin (Constricting and pulling me) This dirty filthy skin (Rancid and stinging me) I burn behind the walls (That have become my world) The bearer of a gift, fuck your gift! Truth does not exist! But the lies do Truth does not exist! But the lies do They're buried in the skin Evolved Perversion of a truth, I'm stuck there (Inside of lies buried in me, why?) Alone Born into a world, never asked to be here Try to forget truth doesn't exist, truth! It doesn't exist, it doesn't exist, truth! Always inside a tragedy (Things never seem to go away) A room that I remember (Portraits I carry) Try letting go of this space (Bad habits can't kick me) The fool that fell from heaven, heaven Perversion of a truth, I'm stuck there (Inside of lies buried in me, why?) Alone Born into a world, never asked to be here Try to forget truth doesn't exist, truth! It doesn't exist, it doesn't exist, truth! Try to forget truth doesn't exist, truth! It doesn't exist, it doesn't exist, truth! It doesn't exist, it doesn't exist, truth! It doesn't exist, it doesn't exist, truth! It doesn't exist, it doesn't exist, truth! It doesn't exist, it doesn't exist, truth! Maybe we're all the children of a star Misguided in direction, our misdirection Pardon me while I pray for Light! I'm not the only one That walks between the rain, there are many I'm not the only one When everything is lost that doesn't surrender Perversion of a truth I'm stuck there (Inside of lies buried in me, why?) Alone Like walking through a world, never asked to be here Versions of the truth I'm not the only one Your versions of the truth Are not the only one Your versions of the truth Are not the only one Your versions of the truth Are not the only one Lies! Lies! Lies! Lies! Lies! Lies! Lies! Lies! Lies! Lies! Lies!

We've come here from so far away I can save you if you leave it all behind This suffering's been far too long Would you take a trip with me on the back of a star? I feel like this gravity Is just here to pull us down (Mother of creation, wait) Embrace the souls of a lost world Carry them away (Darkness, negative, receptive) Pour firmament between our waters Separate the space (Mother of destruction, wait) With a belt of skulls, strap me down And send the ship away (Progress with the process) Mine the souls from their casts Pour, form, and re-shape This dark womb wraps and covets me Redefining understanding if you open up the heart Nurturing this phenomenon We can carry you on our wings, our wings, through the dark Lightning flashes of insight Into the mirth of a dark sky Pain of division is nothing Joy of dissolution is everything (Mother of creation, wait) Embrace the souls of a lost world Carry them away (Darkness, negative, receptive) Pour firmament between our waters Separate the space (Mother of destruction, wait) With a belt of skulls, strap me down And send the ship away (Progress with the process) Mine the souls from their casts Pour, form, and re-shape Portal sits deep within the eye The eye of Yin's severity rewards understanding Portal sits deep within the eye The eye of Yin's severity rewards understanding Blackness consumes Body covets, core of nothing Blackness consumes Body covets, core of nothing Mother, I can remember a vault of security Would you take me away? Would you take me away? Won't you take me away? Away (Mother of creation, wait) Embrace the souls of a lost world Carry them away (Darkness, negative, receptive) Pour firmament between our waters Separate the space (Mother of destruction, wait) With a belt of skulls, strap me down And send the ship away (Progress with the process) Mine the souls from their casts Pour, form, and re-shape

When passion's lost and all the trust is gone Way too far, for way too long Children crying, cast out and neglected Only in a world so cold, only in a world this cold Hold the hand of your best friend, look into their eyes Then watch them drift away Some might say, we've done the wrong things For way too long, for way too long Fever inside the storm So I'm turning away Away from the name (Calling your names) Away from the stones (Throw sticks and stones) Cause I'm through mending the wounds of us Keep your thorns Cause I'm running away Away from the games (Fucking head games) Away from the space (Hate this head space) The circumstances of a world so cold Burning whispers remind me of the days I was left alone in a world this cold Guilty of the same things, provoked by the cause I've left alone in a world so cold Fever inside the storm So I'm turning away Away from the name (Calling your names) Away from the stones (Throw sticks and stones) Cause I'm through mending the wounds of us Keep your thorns Cause I'm running away Away from the games (Fucking head games) Away from the space (Hate this head space) The circumstances of a world so cold I'm flying, I'm flying away Away from the names (Calling your names) Away from the games (Fucking head games) The circumstances of a world so cold Why does everyone feel like my enemy? Don't want any part of depression or darkness I've had enough Sick and tired, bring the sun, or I'm gone Or I'm gone I'm backing out, I'm no pawn No mother-fucking slave to this Never lied Never left Never lived Never loved Never lost Never hurt Never worry about being me, or anyone else Not a care, no concern, don't give a shit about anything Backing out, giving up, no mother-fucking Slave to this Never lied Never left Never lived Never loved Never lost Never hurt Never worry about being me, or anyone else Not a care, no concern, don't give a shit about anything I need to find a darkened corner A lightless corner Where it's safer and calmer I'm turning away Away from the name (Calling your names) Away from the stones (Throw sticks and stones) Cause I'm through mending the wounds of us I'm running away Away from the games (Fucking head games) Away from the space (Hate this head space) The circumstances of a world so cold I'm flying, I'm flying away Away from the names (Calling your names) Away from the games (Fucking head games) The circumstances of a world so cold

Patient Just as I am As always Watch the time go by Nothing left to pass by The minutes follow me Drunken little people Work away in me Why won't they leave me, leave me alone When I don't even want me, want me I have to, kill the words Before they, form my sentence The sentence that is me Judged by those that carry The patient sits in cradled arms That comfort me by strangling Why won't they leave me, leave me alone When I don't even want me The patient mental sits and stares An idle mind that's empty, screaming Staring back Why won't they leave him, leave him alone A passive speared ritual Drive by our war ship, the hate driven envy They have to kill the meal Before they can consume Consume my inner peace Without the understanding Trapped inside the works The hands are moving me The patient mental sits and stares An idle mind that's empty, screaming Staring back Why won't they leave him, leave him alone A passive speared ritual Drive by our war ship, the hate driven envy Release me Let me go Why do they observe me? There's nothing here to cure I can see the silhouettes That sit behind the mirror I'm just like a clock upon the wall Always moving, but never going anywhere The patient mental sits and stares An idle mind that's empty, screaming Staring back Why won't they leave him, leave him alone A passive speared ritual Drive by our war ship, the hate driven envy

This puzzle's dead inside Missing pieces growing eyes Mystery Little girls severity Little boys begging mercy Sticks break on me Cost of life at 23 Price of pain a golden ring All crimson Melting body rubber world Battle axe with locks of curls Introverted My cost, the price of a broken doll Can you remember that place The place you would go to make things okay 1000 points for insect stings Glue my spirit, break my wings Misery Libido steams infectious whore Cauterize and forge the sword Remember killing Children, learning the secret knock A nickel to enter that place The place you would go to make things okay My cost, the price of a broken doll Can you remember that place The place you would go to take pain away Games of passion taste so sweet Cut his throat and slaughter meat My secrets Seven heads for seven seas Darkened voices plead disease Dismembering me Children, wrestle to seal the bag Storing it deep in that place The place you would go and try to escape Children, learning the secret knock A nickel to enter that place The place you would go to make things okay My cost, the price of a broken doll Can you remember that place The place you would go to take pain away Skrying through reflections in a pool I see death coming, mowing down Do you remember the bedroom Was it your cell or was it your tomb Skrying through reflections in a pool I see death coming, mowing down Do you remember the bedroom Was it your cell or was it your tomb You're living through my hell You're living through my hell Children, learning the secret knock A nickel to enter that place The place you would go to make things okay My cost, the price of a broken doll Can you remember that place The place you would go to take pain away

(Believe in yourself) Let go of ego, strengthen within yourself! (All over with) We're coming, we're killing, we're changing the faces! I'm killing every fuckin' thing Until somebody gets this fuckin' point The point I'm trying to make I lead the mice on parade Down to the river of Kool-Aid And open up the flood gates I need a barrel of cyanide A pile of strychnine Until the whole damn world is dead Start over again (All over with) Fuck all the flags, the greed, the world leaders! (Run for the fence) We're coming, we're killing, we're changing the faces! Stop talking, negotiating Your feeble attempts toward world peace Ah, give me a fuckin' break! Need worldwide genocide, planetary suicide And when the whole damn world is dead There's your fuckin' peace! (All over with) Fuck all the flags, the greed, the world leaders! (Run for the fence) We're coming, we're killing, we're changing the faces! (Believe in yourself) Let go of ego, strengthen within yourself! (All over with) We're coming, we're killing, we're changing the faces! Oxygen wasters! Come on! We've come to save you (Save you from yourselves) Kill, or be killed!
