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

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

Enforce and Oppress

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

Under the Boot

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

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

"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
