Overbearing Isolation

I wrote this song during a time in my life where I was dealing with high anxiety and bouts of depression and was just a way to get things off my chest.

Overbearing Isolation

“Each second of time is all the same to me When it seems that the world has forgotten about me Leaving nothing but an empty shell Living out the remainder of my life in an infinite hell They say nothing is impossible, so tell me please Why am I kept from the things that help to ease The pain and suffering I’ve dealt with for so long? I just want to know where and why it all went wrong...

This world continues to crush me, While wearing a psychotic grin Dealing with too much, too soon And I’m slowly wearing thin Secluding myself in a safe space ‘Cause I have no other choice Everyone assumes me to be strong, But they don’t hear my voice Words fall on deaf ears, all my cries of desperation Resulting in an endless cycle of overbearing isolation Expectations equal asphyxiation, like a noose around my neck And every day I force myself to deal with this shit again

Sometimes I question why I bother waking up in the first place When I know your frustration in me is still loaded on my plate Always believed the fable, life would be all I wanted it to be And if I let life pass me by, I’d only have myself to blame Yet everyone has their opinions, constantly judging me For straying from the beaten path and for that I should be ashamed Who the fuck are you to question the direction I take in life? When last I checked, you know nothing of my strife

This world continues to crush me, While wearing a psychotic grin Dealing with too much, too soon And I’m slowly wearing thin Secluding myself in a safe space ‘Cause I have no other choice Everyone assumes me to be strong, But they don’t hear my voice Words fall on deaf ears, all my cries of desperation Resulting in an endless cycle of overbearing isolation Expectations equal asphyxiation, like a noose around my neck And every day I force myself to deal with this shit again

Maybe all I need is a loyal friend A trusted ear to hear me out and help me mend And for all the judgmental cowards, I have a little something for you, Two long middle fingers and a big ‘FUCK YOU!’

This world continues to crush me, While wearing a psychotic grin Dealing with too much, too soon And I’m slowly wearing thin But I will crawl out from my safe space My resolve refuses to let me give in I’m out to prove you wrong, You’ll never ignore my voice again To make you eat your hypocritical words is my new inspiration Putting an end to this cycle of overbearing isolation You can save your judgments for yourself, I won’t let you win ‘Cause I will never force myself to deal with this shit again!”

Scratching the Surface

This song is one of my more personal songs that I wrote about one of my childhood friends who committed suicide and the roller coaster of emotions that went through me during that time.

Scratching the Surface

“It’s too late, it’s all over I wanted to help you, wanted to guide you But you’re no longer here Did reality really treat you so badly? Scarring your psyche to the point of no repair, Forcing you to throw it all away Forfeit your life and gain nothing in return Besides an eternity in the dirt

Every life has its beginning And every life has its end How did this become an option for you? Taking away the most precious gift of all Digging your own grave, Ending it all with a pull of the trigger I’m still trying to scratch the surface To what drove you over the edge

I struggle to comprehend what went through your mind When you made the decision, The decision to end your life in its prime You may not have realized it, But you’re not the only one affected by this catastrophe How did your support system fail to hold you up? The damage is done, there’s no second chance You’re not coming back

Every life has its beginning And every life has its end How did this become an option for you? Taking away the most precious gift of all Digging your own grave, Ending it all with a pull of the trigger I’m still trying to scratch the surface To what drove you over the edge

Maybe some minds are stronger than others I just can’t fathom a rhyme or reason Could someone have cured you? Could someone have saved you? Would you have accepted if someone offered a hand? If that someone was me, would it have changed a thing? I guess it doesn’t matter anyway, It’s not like you’re going to ever answer my questions

Every life has its beginning And every life has its end How did this become an option for you? Taking away the most precious gift of all Digging your own grave, Ending it all with a pull of the trigger I’m still trying to scratch the surface To what drove you over the edge

Forever scratching the surface To what drove you over......”

Domino Effect

This song is about trying to escape from a life that seems to be crumbling around you before it’s too late.

Domino Effect

“Never saw it coming Never been so blind Retreat to your sanctuary Before these cursed stones Rain hellfire and ruin on your hallowed soil, Shattering your house of eggshells and glass Fragile groundwork destined to fall Seek an escape, but to no avail

After all of this, One piece topples and the temple tumbles down This life foils the countless attempts To put on a brave face and disguise the pain Uncertainty breeds apprehension and malice Must get away, far away from here Far away from this familiar place Before the last domino hits the ground

How could I see this coming? How could I be so blind? Withdraw to your safe haven Crawl into the hole from whence you came Refuse to emerge this last time Shroud your inner darkness from the ones you love Smoke and mirrors conceal demons that decay the soul Pray for an answer, but no one’s listening

After all of this, One piece topples and the temple tumbles down This life foils the countless attempts To put on a brave face and disguise the pain Uncertainty breeds apprehension and malice Must get away, far away from here Far away from this familiar place Before the last domino hits the ground

Before it all goes to waste Before the final shards of your being fade away Before the last domino hits the ground Pick up the pieces... Pick up the pieces... Pick up the pieces...

After all of this, One piece topples and the temple tumbles down This life foils the countless attempts To put on a brave face and disguise the pain Uncertainty breeds apprehension and malice Must get away, far away from here Far away from this familiar place Before the last domino hits the ground

After all of this, One piece topples and the temple tumbles down This life foils the countless attempts To put on a brave face and disguise the pain Uncertainty breeds apprehension and malice Must get away, far away from here Far away from this familiar place Before the last domino hits the ground”

Corrosive Idolizations

I wrote this song when I was in high school and it is about feeling like you’re being taken advantage of and forced to live up to expectations other than your own, as people force their preconceived images of you upon you without your consent.

Corrosive Idolizations

“Strenuous to measure up to what you expect of me A prodigy in the making, Everyone’s shining star But what if I should fail? Set fire to your self-serving adoration Wither and collapse in the midst of this angst I should be the one setting the expectations

I just want the praising to stop Destroy this toxic pedestal you’ve placed beneath my feet The parameters of your glorification Ostracizing me from the world at large Isolated within my own convoluted mind I’m a normal human being, I swear it! Stop treating me as your fucking Messiah! I’m not your savior, I’m not your martyr! I’m not your fucking immortal!

Everyone’s piling the weight of their worlds on me Forcing me to portray this marvel you’ve molded me to be All I ever wanted was to be myself Free of the accolades and the acclaim, Free of your selfish desires and motives Yet you continue to distort what I represent, Making me look like some fucking saint, An image I can do without

I just want the praising to stop Destroy this toxic pedestal you’ve placed beneath my feet The parameters of your glorification Ostracizing me from the world at large Isolated within my own convoluted mind I’m a normal human being, I swear it! Stop treating me as your fucking Messiah! I’m not your savior, I’m not your martyr! I’m not your fucking immortal!

I’ll never let you deify me again I’ll never be your golden ticket to fame and fortune I’ll never be your saving grace, your rags to riches story, Just a tormented soul eating himself alive It’s no one’s fault but your own, You and your corrosive idolizations!

I just want the praising to stop Destroy this toxic pedestal you’ve placed beneath my feet The parameters of your glorification Ostracizing me from the world at large Isolated within my own convoluted mind I’m a normal human being, I swear it! Stop treating me as your fucking Messiah! I’m not your savior, I’m not your martyr! I’m not your fucking immortal!

I’ll never be your prodigy! I’ll never be your saint! I’ll never be your deity! I’ll never be your Messiah! I’ll never be your savior! I’ll never be your martyr! I’ll never be your fucking immortal! It’s all your fucking fault! Fuck your corrosive idolizations!!!”

Forever Hating Me

This song goes out to all the fake people in your life who try to weasel their way into your inner circle just to attempt to tear you down from within.

Forever Hating Me

“Put an end to this today ‘Cause you only get in my way And I won’t tell you a damn thing ‘Cause you never fucking listen to anything You were placed on this earth to hate what I’m about All the times you tried to befriend me just to figure me out I’m sorry what I had to offer wasn’t what you had planned But in the end, baby, well that’s just too damn bad

You love to hate me No, you live to hate me And the best part about it is It doesn’t fucking phase me You always tried to play me Now you’re forever hating, Forever hating me...

You tried to force my sickness Tried to drive me into madness And I don’t owe you a damn thing ‘Cause you were never fucking there for anything Firmly rooted on my path to bring about my fall All the times you lied to my face just to steal it all I’m sorry at times I was just too goddamn blind But in the end, baby, you only lost your mind

You love to hate me No, you live to hate me And the best part about it is It doesn’t fucking phase me You always tried to play me Now you’re forever hating, Forever hating me...

All this time you’ve tried to rip open the stitch All this time you’ve been an inconsiderate bitch All this time you’ve tried to see right through me All this time you’ve personified deception by saying you loved me All this time you’ve tried to destroy the virtue and reveal the vice All this time I’ve contemplated how you’re gonna pay the price

You love to hate me No, you live to hate me And the best part about it is It doesn’t fucking phase me You always tried to play me Now you’re forever hating, Forever hating me...

Forever hating me... Forever hating me... Hating me...... Hating me......”

Would You?

This particular song is about feeling abandoned by someone you care about and not having those feelings reciprocated in return like you feel they should be.

Would You?

“I don’t know what to say You never once listened to anything So why should I even try? ‘Cause you only neglect my screams and cries Leaving me deserted...

This feeling of affliction continues to linger But I’m not the one to point the finger At you...

Would you even care what happens to me? Or would you continue to suck the life out of me? Would you be there to pick me back up? Or would you leave me lying there in the rough? Would you shed your tears if I died tonight? Or would you once again disappear out of sight?

You’re trying to pull me apart Trying to plunder my heart And I need a reason why You’re never satisfied With the life I’m trying to live I’ve given all I can give What more do you want from me?

This feeling of affliction continues to linger But I’m not the one to point the finger At you...

Would you even care what happens to me? Or would you continue to suck the life out of me? Would you be there to pick me back up? Or would you leave me lying there in the rough? Would you shed your tears if I died tonight? Or would you once again disappear out of sight?

Now I wanna see The life you’d live without me Am I so important to you? Or have you played me as a fool? So many promises left behind Do they have the time to cross your mind? Or have you completely forsaken me?

This feeling of affliction continues to linger But I’m not the one to point the finger At you... AT YOU!!!

Would you even care what happens to me? Or would you continue to suck the life out of me? Would you be there to pick me back up? Or would you leave me lying there in the rough? Would you shed your tears if I died tonight? Or would you once again disappear out of sight?

Maybe I should be the one to point the finger At you... AT YOU!!!”

This song is about feeling guilty about the disintegration of a relationship with a significant other and wishing you could change the way things turned out.

Images

“The pictures by my bed remind me of your choice, Your choice to walk away ‘cause you had enough Every single time I hear your voice Reminds me just how badly I fucked things up Can’t believe how much it hurts, this feeling’s overwhelming I can only pray things will heal with time The monotony of life isn’t exactly helping Please, let’s just give this one last try...

As I lay alone at night, I’m greeted by images of you And I try to fathom a way to make it right But I don’t know what the hell to do I sit waiting for you to come around Waiting for you to walk through the front door I promise never again will I let you down All I want is you, that’s for sure...

Hard to admit, but every time I see your face It brings a smile to my own Don’t want you to vanish without a trace I couldn’t stand to lose something so beautiful I hate what I’ve done, hate how I feel Devoured by subconscious, silent screams This agonizing truth just doesn’t seem real Please, just let this be a bad dream...

As I lay alone at night, I’m greeted by images of you And I try to fathom a way to make it right But I don’t know what the hell to do I sit waiting for you to come around Waiting for you to walk through the front door I promise never again will I let you down All I want is you, that’s for sure...

I wake up missing you every single day Impotent and debilitated since you’ve gone away You’re my strength, my power, The fire that keeps me going And I’ll do whatever I can to get you to notice You’re the only one I want, only one I need Nothing else matters the way you do to me My world is barren without you here Begging you please while down on my knees, my dear...

As I lay alone at night, I’m greeted by images of you And I try to fathom a way to make it right But I don’t know what the hell to do I sit waiting for you to come around Waiting for you to walk through the front door I promise never again will I let you down All I want is you, that’s for sure...

The only thing I want is you...…”

Twisted Orgy

This song is one of the weirder songs that I’ve written and was written during a period where I was influenced by a lot of heavier kinds of metal and it, in turn, inspired me to create a song that was much darker than normal subjects I would typically write about and this song was the end result.

Twisted Orgy

“Grounded by the weight of this mist-filled night Fluid running through the veins like electric light Silence is what kills me, obstructing the calm Existential paranoia, igniting the bomb It takes two to tango and I’ve got the company Time at a standstill, the succubus roams free It’s all takin’ off, a freak show on parade Far from this stygian performance coming to a fade

Writing bodies taking form on the Devil’s bed Ripping the halo from above your fucking head Pleasure and anonymity standing hand in hand The mass of the passion slipping through the sand As the twilight unfurls, I’m in far too deep Walking the bridge between stimulation and sleep Wondering what the witch’s practice holds in store for me Just another victim of this twisted fuckin’ orgy

Absorbed into the abyss as it robs me of my soul Nightcrawlers probing for a way to become whole Blinded in black as the air becomes harder to breathe My shields are down, sword has been sheathed It takes two to tango and I have more than company For all malpractice in this time, it’s the epitome It’s all comin’ off, this freak show’s far from over As the outcasts circle ‘round, over and over

Writhing bodies taking form on the Devil’s bed Ripping the halo from above your fucking head Pleasure and anonymity standing hand in hand The mass of the passion slipping through the sand As the twilight unfurls, I’m in far too deep Walking the bridge between stimulation and sleep Wondering what the witch’s practice holds in store for me Just another victim of this twisted fuckin’ orgy

Taking the fall with a broken will and a tortured heart A front-row seat for my spirit coming apart A deviant fantasy forcing all to submit Transmutating the fiends, worthless pieces of shit It takes two to tango and I don’t want the company No route of escape, only degenerate intimacy It’s all blowin’ off, the freak show’s trapped me inside This midnight congregation is taking me for the ride

Writhing bodies taking form on the Devil’s bed Ripping the halo from above your fucking head Pleasure and anonymity standing hand in hand The mass of the passion slipping through the sand As the twilight unfurls, I’m in far too deep Walking the bridge between stimulation and sleep Wondering what the witch’s practice holds in store for me Just another victim of this twisted fuckin’ orgy

Writhing bodies taking form on the Devil’s bed Ripping the halo from above your fucking head Pleasure and anonymity standing hand in hand The mass of the passion slipping through the sand As the twilight unfurls, I’m in far too deep Walking the bridge between stimulation and sleep Wondering what the witch’s practice holds in store for me Just another victim of this twisted fuckin’ orgy”

Running on Overdrive

This song is pretty much about living life in the fast lane and embracing every second of the hectic ride we call life.

Running on Overdrive

“It’s staggering that I’m not severed Continuing on with these endeavors I’m the one riding this tidal wave Because it’s the frenzy I crave I’m far from an ordinary man

What's next? I’m not impressed I desire something more In this world, still alive Fuckin’ running on overdrive I’ll never embrace the established norm

It’s incredulous that I’m not broken This dormant monster has awoken I’m the one walking this crazy road Because it’s the only one I’ll ever know I’m undeniably not an ordinary man

What’s next? I’m not impressed I desire something more In this world, still alive Fuckin’ running on overdrive I’ll never embrace the established norm

Yearning for this chaotic shit My inner lantern has been lit Pushing and pulling Beginning, never ending Moving forward, even if I have to go it alone Bulldoze through every goddamn stone I’ll never be an ordinary man

What’s next? I’m not impressed I desire something more In this world, still alive Fuckin’ running on overdrive I’ll never embrace the established norm

What’s next? I’m not impressed I desire something more In this world, still alive Fuckin’ running on overdrive I’ll never embrace the established norm”

Adamant Excuses

This song is pretty much a call-out to all the weasels that have ever tried to make your life a miserable hell and pretty much telling them that shit will never fly.

Adamant Excuses

“I’m so sick of this And I spit on every one of your intentions ‘Cause I know the person you really are The goddamn hypocrite who tried to fuck things up for me The son-of-a-bitch who thought they could bring out the worst in me

You’re so desperate and pathetic What the fuck are you trying to pull? The story never changes The adamant excuses will always remain the same Who exactly are you trying to convince? I know you for the liar, The instigator, The scumbag you really are

The biggest pretender of them all A heartless coward masked in deceit You will never change for anyone Your translucent disguise doesn’t fool me You’ll always be a cruel, insecure worm And I hope it eats at you ‘til your grave

You’re so desperate and pathetic What the fuck are you trying to pull? The story never changes The adamant excuses will always remain the same Who exactly are you trying to convince? I know you for the liar, The instigator, The scumbag you really are

YOU WILL NEVER FUCKING CHANGE!!!”

Justify My Existence

This song is about taking control of you own life and not leaving the control of your life in the hands of others.

Justify My Existence

“I can choose not to deal with this I can continue to live in silence I have no will to do this I have the right to end this

Don’t presume you have the power To decide what’s wrong or right...

I don’t have to explain myself I don’t have to tell you things You have no right to know I don’t have to give a reason for being here I don’t have to justify my existence All because you want me to

I can choose not to feel this I will continue to live in silence I’ve lost all will to do this I’ll exert my right to end this

Don’t presume you have the power To decide what’s wrong or right...

I don’t have to explain myself I don’t have to tell you things You have no right to know I don’t have to give a reason for being here I don’t have to justify my existence All because you want me to

Throw your hate at me Try to wipe your slate clean Bring the fight to me TRY TO TAKE IT OUT ON ME!!!

Don’t presume you have the power To decide what’s wrong or right...

I don’t have to explain myself I don’t have to tell you things You have no right to know I don’t have to give a reason for being here I don’t have to justify my existence All because you want me to

All because you want me to...…”

Enigmatic Life

This song is a more introspective song and is basically about pondering the many mysteries surrounding our daily lives and wondering why things the way they are.

Enigmatic Life

“As far as I can see Everything’s just an unknown mystery A world of disembodied entities A world submerged in obscurity A world overflowing with greed Just too many questions about this known reality

What is the purpose of it all? Where is the center inside these non-immaculate walls? Who is responsible for all of this? When will time give its final kiss? How long must we survive? Why are we living this enigmatic life?

No one seems to realize The herd aimlessly wanders, hypnotized As we relish every chance to criticize While hiding behind our own clever lies It seems like every second is do or die But does anybody wonder why?

What is the purpose of it all? Where is the center inside these non-immaculate walls? Who is responsible for all of this? When will time give its final kiss? How long must we survive? Why are we living this enigmatic life?

Nothing is understandable Feelings and emotions so impalpable And these thoughts remain so immoral Because this realm is deemed inescapable No one being is immortal So we’ll just continue to push and pull

What is the purpose of it all? Where is the center inside these non-immaculate walls? Who is responsible for all of this? When will time give its final kiss? How long must we survive? Why are we living this enigmatic life?

There is some unknown purpose to it all Yet there is no center inside these non-immaculate walls We are responsible for all of this Maybe time has already given its final kiss So eternally we must survive Persevere through this enigmatic life”

Protect

This song is a deeply personal song of mine that I wrote while I was in high school and it is about a friend of mine who was abused by her significant other and about feeling helpless as to what I could do to stop it.

Protect

“Why do I feel like this? I’ve failed you once again I let you throw yourself at him I watched from the outskirts Watched him use you, Watched him abuse you Should’ve tried harder to be there What kind of friend am I?

I should’ve been right beside you It’s what I said I’d always do Promised I would always protect you But I took the step back and left you alone All alone to deal with that fucking asshole Should’ve put the boot to his throat When I had the chance I’m so sorry you’ve had to endure this hell

So many things I wish I had done Could’ve stepped up and changed the outcome But I squeezed my eyes shut To blind myself to the pain you felt, Breeding my innermost regrets I watched him pull your hair And boss you around As you drowned in tears, begging him to stop What kind of friend am I?

I should’ve been right beside you It’s what I said I’d always do Promised I would always protect you But I took the step back and left you alone All alone to deal with that fucking asshole Should’ve put the knife through his back When I had the chance I’m so sorry you’ve had to endure this hell

I screwed up in the worst possible way And I feel like I don’t deserve reprieve Even when you say it’s not my fault, I still had this duty from the start I appreciate you still trust in me After all I didn’t do for you Just know if he ever comes around my way, Never again will he see the light of day

I should’ve been right beside you It’s what I said I’d always do Promised I would always protect you But I took the step back and left you alone All alone to deal with that fucking asshole Should’ve put the bullet in his head When I had the chance I’m so sorry you’ve had to endure this hell

From now on, I’ll be right beside you Living up to what I said I’d always do I promise I will always protect you I’ll never again take the step back and leave you alone You’ll never again have to deal with that fucking asshole ‘Cause I’ll put him ten feet underground if I get the chance He’ll be sorry you’ve had to endure this hell”

Dangerous Leviathan

This particular song I wrote during my time as a political science major at UC Irvine and it is based off the political theories of the philosopher Thomas Hobbes and his book ‘Leviathan’, which details the chaotic state of nature that human kind would be in without central authority. So, I decided to write a song from the perspective of a prominent authoritative figure (in most cases, a dictator) who rules with an iron fist and manipulates the natural chaos and dissension of the lives of the masses to maintain power and control.

Dangerous Leviathan

“This life has grown way too chaotic Solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short Uncertainty breeding organic disorder But I will take the reigns Put the fear of God in you Tremble before my wrath and if you resist You will be cast into the fire Because I am the alpha and the omega!

Each of us is equal in strength, Equal in prudence, Rational beings all the same But I’ll be the one to carry the torch Stand above the rest and pull you along Pull you out of your state of nature Transcending into an omnipotent motherfucker, A DANGEROUS LEVIATHAN!!!

Rampaging savages tearing apart this realm Pillaging the lands and raping the earth It’s about time you take a little trip Into the belly of the beast You will learn obedience And bow at my fucking feet Impervious to your hostility ‘cause in the end You knew you’d die without me!

Each of us is equal in strength, Equal in prudence, Rational beings all the same But I’ll be the one to carry the torch Stand above the rest and pull you along Pull you out of your state of nature Transcending into an omnipotent motherfucker, A DANGEROUS LEVIATHAN!!!

Face it, you’d be nothing If I hadn’t come along and led the way You would’ve fought off your peers, one by one, ‘Til there were none left standing Because of my iron fist and absolute strength You need not be afraid of the unknown any longer My society has risen and this is certain Dare challenge my throne and you will be bludgeoned Right into the fucking ground!

Each of us is equal in strength, Equal in prudence, Rational beings all the same But I’ll be the one to carry the torch Stand above the rest and pull you along Pull you out of your state of nature Transcending into an omnipotent motherfucker, A DANGEROUS LEVIATHAN!!!

I am a divine motherfucker, A DANGEROUS LEVIATHAN!!!”

Go to Sleep

This song is about always being there for someone you love to comfort them and just being their guardian angel because the love you have for them runs so deep.

Go to Sleep

“Don’t you worry ‘bout a thing ‘Cause I’ll be the one to give you everything Everything you want, everything you need You’ll never have to beg, never have to plead I’ll be the one you confide in, the one you talk to And I’ll never push you away, I’ll never mock you ‘Cause I want to be there for each and every day And I swear to you that I’ll make your whole life O.K.

From now on, you don’t have to cry late at night ‘Cause I will sell my soul to make you feel alright I swear I’ll keep the promises that others couldn’t keep I’m right here beside you, baby, Hush now, go to sleep...

Don’t you fret about a thing I’ll be the one to do or fix anything Anything for you, anything at all I’ll be your foundation for whenever you fall I’ll be the one you love, the one you’ll always trust This bond will never burn to ashes, never turn to dust ‘Cause I want to be there for each and every smile Together, we’ll conquer the world, travel any number of miles

From now on, you don’t have to cry late at night ‘Cause I will sell my soul to make you feel alright I swear I’ll keep the promises that others couldn’t keep I’m right here beside you, baby, Hush now, go to sleep...

I’ve never been more adamant about anything in my life There’s not a happier place than with you by my side There’s still a lot to learn, but we will get through it together We can get lost in our fantasy world and stay there forever

From now on, you don’t have to cry late at night ‘Cause I will sell my soul to make you feel alright I swear I’ll keep the promises that others couldn’t keep I’m right here beside you, baby, Hush now, go to sleep...

I’m right here beside you, baby, Hush now, go to sleep...…”

Withstanding Illusions

This particular song is about shining a light on the farce that is our current political system and how potential change always gets hyped up but never gets seen through and how the masses are becoming fed up with it.

Withstanding Illusions

“I’ve laid low for far too long Waiting and fading as life moves along Then it dawns on me things are as they ever were The world’s still a farce, change hasn’t occurred War, greed, hate, and lies Deceit and corruption lead to innocent demise So I dig deep inside, searching for solutions Tapping into pandemonium for worldwide revolution

Years have come and gone Yet this promised advancement has yet to follow Same elaborate fabrications we’re forced to digest Same old bullshit still hard to swallow This dormant fire within has erupted once more So I raise my middle fingers to this everlasting status quo Shedding light on these withstanding illusions Throwing a wrench into the ebb and flow

Too much time has expired with nothing figured out The same talking heads spewing shit from their mouths Disguised as these leaders with an omniscient view But I comprehend that no one has a clue Parties gathering followers like some psychotic cult If they have all the answers, where are the fucking results? Total irrelevance as to which side gets their way It’s the same redundant inadequacy, day after day

Years have come and gone Yet this promised advancement has yet to follow Same elaborate fabrications we’re forced to digest Same old bullshit still hard to swallow This dormant fire within has erupted once more So I raise my middle fingers to this everlasting status quo Shedding light on these withstanding illusions Throwing a wrench into the ebb and flow

Let’s face it, we’ve strayed far from the course While the jackals bleed us dry without any remorse The sheep remain blind, no connecting the dots Doesn’t matter one damn bit who’s calling the shots The world seemingly too complicated for anyone to grasp While the foundation slowly rusts, on the verge of collapse We’re a parody for a higher power, they’re laughing it up All this human race has ever known is to fuck everything up

Years have come and gone Yet this promised advancement has yet to follow Same elaborate fabrications we’re forced to digest Same old bullshit still hard to swallow This dormant fire within has erupted once more So I raise my middle fingers to this everlasting status quo Shedding light on these withstanding illusions Throwing a wrench into the ebb and flow

I will shed light on these withstanding illusions Throw a wrench into the ebb and flow...…”

Tied Through Blood

This song is about having someone there for you through thick and thin, even when you feel like you haven’t done enough to deserve the love and support.

Tied Through Blood

“Whenever I tried to pull away, It seems that I always dragged you with me Whenever I tried to inflict harm upon myself, You were there to pull the knife away from my chest Whenever I told myself I was a perpetual letdown, You would whisper in my ear that I would triumph over all And whenever I said that I would never love again, You forced me to prove myself wrong

I suppose we’ll stick it out until the end I’ll carry you and you’ll carry me You never cut the cord like everyone else Even when I played the part of the pompous ass Don’t know the reason, but we’re bonded together Altruistically tied through blood It turns out that we’re one and the same

Whenever I was intoxicated, You made sure I had a home to come back to Whenever I would take the fall from grace, You never once left me to die out there Whenever I would snap and break shit in trivial rage, You never hesitated to sweep up the broken glass And whenever I wallowed in my abhorrent past, You turned my focus towards a prosperous future

I suppose we’ll stick it out until the end I’ll carry you and you’ll carry me You never cut the cord like everyone else Even when I played the part of the pompous ass Don’t know the reason, but we’re bonded together Altruistically tied through blood It turns out that we’re one and the same

Whenever I felt the end was closing in, You reminded me it was only the beginning And whenever I felt isolated in this world, You were the one person I could confide in, The only person I could count on...

I suppose we’ll stick it out until the end I’ll carry you and you’ll carry me You never cut the cord like everyone else Even when I played the part of the pompous ass Don’t know the reason, but we’re bonded together Altruistically tied through blood It turns out that we’re one and the same

Turns out that we’re one and the same...…”
