Existential crisis taking over me as the years go by don't know what to believe Living my life with no purpose inside Get drunk, get fucked, get messed up dont want to think of the future I've had enough Where do I turn? When it's all up to me Don't believe in myself or my ability I'm losing the war in my mind Positive outlook lost with time I'm staring at my problems smacking me in the face with a past that I can't erase Living my life with no purpose inside Get drunk, get fucked, get messed up dont want to think of the future I've had enough Where do I turn? When it's all left up to me Don't believe in myself or my ability Every time I try to change I return to the same mistakes Negative because that's who I am Numb myself from the pain that I feel Maybe then I can pretend my reflection's not real I hate myself, hate everything that I do I hate me more than you

Spineless 02:48
In the face of oppression You refuse to push back INACTION Giving into suppression Submission only way you know how to react IS ACTION Pacifism is nothing more than a victim mentality Dedication to nonviolence you think that promotes peace Confuse your selfishness with innocence but that's not reality What else can I do To try to convince you Your vision is blurry And your perspective is skewed I know how you feel I hear what you say I know what you think But I don't agree I won't shy from violence When ending bigotry In the face of oppression You refuse to push back INACTION Giving into suppression Submission only way you know how to react IS ACTION Abstention from force is not a solution needing others for your defense All you are is part of the problem adding to bystander effect I might stand up for you and fight your battles but you'll never get my respect Claim moral impunity turn the other cheek But you're no martyr When you're lookin to me You spineless coward you terrified little shit Rather accused a bully than a worthless pacifist YOU MAKE ME SICK You make sick you make me sick You make me fucking sick

Hide Behind A badge And gun Protect And serve More like Enforce and oppress We'll give up everything We put with the beatings We surrender to threats We put up with the shootings Keep giving in we'll have no freedom left While you While you Enforce and oppress We're ordered to respect you Just because of your badge It's hard to ignore bodies Of citizens that you dispatch There is no justice How can you expect compliance Without accountability? Equal retribution Instead of paid leave How many times Do innocent people have to die? Before something is done To make it right We just want transparency You extort money You steal property You are bullies You don't protect me I refuse to rely on police Take responsibility of life and property No more apathy No more controlling No more compliance It's time to riot We all lose in this systematic game When it's ruled by a state sponsored gang Resist tyranny

Free to obey, free if they say it's ok Freedom granted by a master but we're all still enslaved In the "land of the free" exists an industry that wants to profit off of imprisoning you and me Created a system to fill the prisons Mandatory minimum sentencing The war on drugs, feeds their machine they want to lock us in cages fuck the "land of the free" Fuck the "land of the free" Fuck the "land of the free" Prison labor is used to turn a profit from the products they produce Modern day slavery it is not justice it's only abuse UNITE REFUSE THEIR LIFE UNDER THE BOOT UNITE REFUSE THEIR LIFE UNDER THE BOOT 5% of the world's population 25% of its prisoners We're not free We're not free We're not freeeeeeeee WE'RE NOT FREE WE'RE NOT FREE WE'RE NOT FREE They're lying to you Controlling what you consume They want to legislate what you can do WE'RE NOT FREE We like to pretend we're the face of Liberty but The whole world can see We're not free

Human Shit 01:51
I don't really see A reason for humanity No narrative, no point, no greater meaning Except perpetuating endless bloodshed and suffering Hope it is naive History will repeat Oppression, war, and deceit Human experience a constant battle with no relief Humanity's a curse A plague upon this earth Extinction the only release Existence is torture Death is just Peace Ugh You can't explain to me why we exist. You can't convince me that were not all just shit. Pessimist because of what's in the past. Realize that it will always come back. COME BACK come back COME BACK Existence is torture Death is peace

So Loved 02:36
"Created in your image," how can that be true? If I hate myself, then I guess I hate you The "good book's" supposed to carry me through More questions than answers But silence from you Destined for torture since the day of my birth At least that's what it says if I don't follow your words Invent the rules and the punishments Bring me into this world with a desire to sin You call this "love" But that's not what it is Surrender my life to avoid the abyss Why create me just to send me to hell? Pretend it's my choice, you show "your love," so well I was raised to believe that I am incomplete Until I give my life to a god I can't see I should be thankful there's a plan for me I should be thankful that you offer to lead Condemned to death before I could even think There's no fucking plan, just poison that I refuse to drink Sick of cursing a god that I'll never meet Maybe I wasn't created for great things Maybe life truly has no meaning Could it be that religion Is just another system Used for control by men drunk with a vision Of telling you how to think How to Act Where to go These stories made up by man and I reject their control And I reject their control
