Go ahead and rise above See how far you get on top Held down just to impair you We know who’s ahead of the game You know who’ll get the blame You’re in the grip of the controller Do you really want it all back? See how far you get on top Held down just to impair you It’s the fear that you can’t do right See how you lose in your life Cut down, they will impale you Can you really get it on track? You tried to make it all stop Time will tell how much they denied you You just got burnt by the controller You’ll never know how to react You’re sucked to the very last drop Time will tell what has been denied you Are you clear in your mind and sight? Are you clear right out of your head? Just angry at things that have failed you So you want to get it all back You tried to make it all last Tied down to control you

Put me right through the ringer Run around with eyes on whatever Cut right down to half a member Mended back given no hope Scheming minds, new intentions Leave it broke flat begging for more You’ve made up your mind Whatever comes to your head Can never rely (on nothing) Everything points to the wrong direction Everything leading to any early decline Can’t take this any longer I’ll tell you right now Hate’s on the rise Just can’t deal with anymore wavering Can’t fit into anyone’s lies Take your eyes to a brand new picture Reach for one more impulse buy It’s me the loser Did everything wrong Go ahead with all your craving Go ahead and yearn for more

Another rude awakening The hard life that's been our school Oh, more of a cruel day's reckonings Our prime time used up too soon There is no kindness to waste Why help those crying for more? It spins you around, takes you for a ride What is the point to even try? Somehow gotta learn to accept the rejection The tired thoughts from troubling A weary mind from worrying Your constant fears upon wakening Your real life left in your dreams There is no kindness to waste Why help those crying for more? It spins you around, takes you for a ride What is the point to even try? Somehow gotta learn to accept the rejection, oh yeah Accept the rejection Accept the rejection Yeah Another Another Another rude awakening The hard life that's been our school More of a cruel day's reckonings Our prime time used up too soon There is no kindness to waste Why help those crying for more? It spins you around, takes you for a ride What's the point to even try? Somehow, some way, gotta learn to accept the rejection, oh yeah Accept the rejection

Confusions born here every day Spinning circles upon my brain No idea which way to go Roam around without a home So fucking lost, invalidated So brought down, demasculated All the joy just disappeared Another bed full of tears Coming apart at the seams Wanna be alone for the rest of my years Don’t come inside Leave it to me to go on unfortunately Hope dissolved, degenerated The negative has penetrated No wish for sympathy It’s all a mystery to me All my wishes evaporated Insecurities saturated So many flaws reappeared The wrong way I tend to steer

You’ve never come close to seeing what I’ve always had to face Image blatant and obvious - what’s there more to assess? Never looking beyond the frontal - all your present fears I hope to never be caught again by visions too clear Erase it, deface it, conceal it Just take it for the face value - concealment, nonetheless Just take it for the face value You never know what you may get A wise man carried on about what you see is what you get I’ve peeled off covers, revealing what I want to forget Why not go base yourself on simple visages Scarring the complexion or scratching the surface

Why should I devalue my position? Do I need to be part of the fold? Don’t need any sort of reason I’ll just go and follow my own path Take note of this: Anyone can trip Take note of this: You can walk with the best Walking with the finest Why should I sell myself short? Should I lower my ideals and standards? Must I settle for hand-me-downs? I deserve the best my mind can do - I can do I think I know which road to go It leads up to the very top I don’t need your sense of direction You can just stumble on and on

Never had a thought so how can you see me? A man without a mind can never judge evenly Forever passing judgment compared to a fraud I’ll never pare up: I’ll only distort your sight Only distort your sight It don’t matter, knife in your hand I’ll cut you down with a knife in my head I don’t matter, knife in my hand You can never mend it with a knife in your head I want a slice, can I carve evenly? A man with no part moves so passively Can I cut you up, can I say you’re a fraud? You’ll never pare up, I’ll only destroy your size

I just know it’s all gone wrong Feeling all the pressure can’t weather the storm Cause I kept myself in a cage all wound up and filled with rage Forgive oneself of nothing at all Pounding my head against the wall Guilt ridden and bound to lose Puncture my wounds, won’t see the truth I looked in the mirror, what did I see? One man bitter with apathy The whole thing turned out to be a joke But I’m not laughing, I’m without hope It’s never well thought out Just my instant demise I’m so bitter the hurt inside Haste and hatred my inner desire Ruptured I’ve lost it all My heart ripped out can’t stand at all Cause I’ve cost my brain to never relax Picking at all the torturous facts

My whole life counting dimes worried about uncertainty So I roll dice before I die, maybe get a little for me I bet it, bet it all - threw everything into a pile Regret it? Got nothing at all, no guarantees, no piece of the pie Got the eyes on you, black eyes on you Ruin it for you if they could Eyes on you, black eyes on you Manruin for his own good High life all the highlights covered on the plays of the day Baked out, burnt right out of it, brain fried beyond repair I tasted it, devoured it, ballooned right out of sight A done deal dealt out by fate Scored myself a bit of nonlife Fucked out, fucked out of everything Drained at the end of each day A red cent, no pennies from heaven Taken for a chump for life

I had a new premonition I have found the nonlight I have found a brand new renewal of sight Do you need a new genuflection? Do you wanna make a different pact? You’ve got to get in with the facts It’s the end - innocence gone Your whole meaning becomes undone Are you waiting for your resurrection Do you wanna make a difference pact? You’ve got to get in with the facts You’ve made an art of treachery You can snake right out of anything I’ve said I won’t do a thing To the double negative you can only agree

Be careful what you want It may be what you get Careful of yourself You may just kill yourself Watch out for all the ruin that you ask for Being trapped below Is that what you need? Careful what you get It may just get you back How much more? Relive the nightmares of the past Think twice about the ruin that you ask for Still ignoring all the warnings you see? A lifetime wronged you Dark signs warned you Feel me self destruct You’re gonna get exactly what you’re gonna let You suffer more and more and then blame yourself Those signposts that point to disaster Ignore the signals, you get what you see

Waiting impatiently to put together the facts Wishing for the best to move slightly against the grain Upwards, onwards, I hope I can rebound and flow I just hoped for one more chance to prove what I can do You gotta suffer the facts You gotta face the act The time for this is true I gotta close the door on you It’s all come into view I gotta close the door on you Hating all similar to all that I’ve been through Harping on all particulars that have given me pain From the onset, the downset Frustration taken it’s course Involving all my bitter thoughts in everything I do

A clue from knowledge Ward off the casualties The mindless banter of all the derogatory It’s the best thing that could happen Even with all the dread It would feel so good to see the back of your head Got my own sign, my own line To hell with the doubt Got my own sign, my own line You gotta hear me out Got my own sign, my own line Divisive and proud It’s my proud division that will free me Unclouded vision will free me Piece together the madness with a clue to all the wrong Follow the right way, never want to be wrong Pledge allegiance to all your own beliefs In accordance with your own individual breed Got my own sign, my own life Divisive and proud Got my own sign, my own time To hell with those in doubt Got my own place Divisive and proud It feels so good to see the back of your head.
