1.
The bastard song of a neglectful dad Left out in the rain and I can't maintain A splitting image of my roots And I don't have shit to show Every choice is one for the worse And things are looking bleak It's gonna get worse A life long losing streak Stuck in a corner Breath on our necks Forgotten or left Burn the world The world is cold and I feel its glare I am expendable and nothing but a name Do I rise up? I don't have a choice All I have is this tiny voice It's drowned by you, it's drowned by them And this is where I snap
2.
This is a story of a fucked up kid Who never felt good and right no matter what he did I never put my faith in much, but I put my faith in you You don't think I know my worth? Well I do, so fuck you I live for real when I'm living out of spite The grass was never green, and I only saw what I wanted to see I am what I am and I don't change for shit Every claim is false A recluse in every sense of the word Estranged to the world I take it back, leaving the nest I'm not alright, but I'll be fine
3.
It's dog eat dog when you're a toothless cog And your funds are insufficient When the market drops your worth is gone And you're back at the beginning Brick in your hand is your pension plan Clothes on your back is your 401(k) You'll realize your fucked when you understand There's got to be a better way From the bottom to the top Until they squeeze every last drop One shift of the ladder and you'll see it all shatter Back, back to the bottom When it all comes raining down We'll be the first ones to hit the ground Built on our backs, it'll only collapse Back, back to the bottom In the burning ash and heaps of trash What you know will be in ruins No ceiling of glass, no bourgeois class And no sanctuary to hide in After the dive you'll be eaten alive And your outlook will change It's a struggle just to survive When you're at the bottom of the chain Wealth or debt, it won't mean shit Back, back to the bottom Out of the black, into the red Back, back to the bottom It'll only last, until the collapse Back, back to the bottom
4.
“The way you live is wrong" Well you don’t need his grace It’s a tool so sharpen your mind God left you behind My critical thoughts Filter through my rotten brain A goat amongst sheep His flock is all the same He favors none but himself No morality on a shelf Every stigma, is set ablaze Tradition is slavery Barbarians at best If you lean on a crutch then you are crippled for life Stand on your own two feet Live by your failures and your success No time for shortcomings or second guesses

Hold Us Back 01:38
You were born with a rational mind But it has been left behind Made obedient with false fear Fold your hands when the end is near Hold contempt for the unkept And hatred for what you can't accept A mind is a terrible thing to waste And yours is only taking space You hold us back You hold... Your small mind has closed the doors To things that we can't ignore A horse to water, but you won't drink We can save ourselves if you'll only think Hold us back with what you lack One step forward, two steps back You don't know wrong from right You've only seen with your own sight You only fear losing control So you dig us deeper into this hole It's a struggle to get on track With your ignorance holding us back
6.
Point your fingers when things go wrong Leave us in debt and say so long Adrift at sea and we can't swim We're torn limb from limb They conquer when we divide So hurry up and pick a side In this tug of war no one wins We're torn limb from limb Hold it together at opposite ends We'll be torn limb from limb Ripped apart, again and again We'll be torn limb from limb There's no words, no compromise This is where all hope dies This is when we meet our end We're torn limb from limb We can end this regime Tear it apart at the seams We can start from scratch again We're torn limb from limb Torn limb from limb Ripped apart again
7.
Take a look around one last time Before we limp across the finish line Face the end like the rest of your kind A countdown until the day we die Blood and flesh to pave the way The same slogan on a different day Same bullshit, a different name A new beginning but it's all the same Endless rows of endless stones Just more holes to dump your bones The differences that make us slaves Will only lead us to our graves Just a name to give you some worth You pledge allegiance since day of your birth A flag to wave and a song to sing Another excuse to pull your strings Keep fighting for nothing Keep believing in nothing In the end you'll still be in uniform graves
8.
Tired with being compared to you Just a reject from your point of view "Wasting your time", is what you say But at least I can say I did it my way I'll take my chances on my own Face these obstacles alone Won't stay on track, won't keep the pace I won't compete in your losing race A career, a home, and a wife How's it feel to be living the life? You grew up too fast, trying to please Only to die bitter and unhappy My aim is different, but my goals are right I don't need to defend myself or pick a fight After you've gone to be all you can be I'll still be here and I'll still be me The losing race I'll try my best, but it just won't do Because I'll never be as good as you I'll just have to find my own way through

Washed Away 01:48
Dig your ditches, build your dams Hold it back for as long as you can A leak will make this levee break And cleanse the earth of this mistake Concrete cracks and rebar rots Oceans over parking lots Grind us down, into the earth Back to the dirt that gave us birth Down, down, down, washed away Flood the earth and wash away this stain Down, down, down, washed away Flush this civilization down the drain Sprout again from the cracks Cleared the slate and taken back All your progress is erased Every monument effaced Streets and buildings turn to dust Every memory is crushed Let our flesh give rebirth When the meek inherit the earth Down, down, down, washed away
10.
Your poor excuses are nothing new Just blatant lies or half of the truth How much more did you think we'd take? This will be your last mistake It's your last mistake Falling backwards on a slippery slope Losing your grip on the hanging rope It's the final straw to break your back Coiled around your neck when we tighten the slack How much more did you think we'd take? This will be your last mistake No second chances, no goodbyes Just a quick kick to cut the ties How much more did you think we'd take? This will be your last mistake
11.
A Void 02:10
Everything so watered down and fake Just a shell of what it ever could be I will not make a single compromise That’s not who I ever was Now I lose every single drop of sleep My eyes so dark with the worries of this life And I think every day until I calm A void is only filled by stepping out of line I'm not ok I will not be patronized No bright side to speak of Freedom leased to a suit and tie My ideals and your ideas We don’t see eye to eye Void, a void We are not a commodity No niche market to speak of Reality is what we see My brain Thinks in fucked up patterns and lines I can’t produce a smile When I don’t think everything’s fine Your culture of glamour and excess Is a million miles away from me (Chorus x2) (First Verse)
12.
Can't feel my hands, they're tied behind my back Can't clear my vision, all I see is black And if I wait for an answer, I'll never fucking know Because trying and failing is the only way I'll grow No, it's not so easy, when you refuse to quit Sure, stay content, but I won't commit So, tell me, what's your secret? Yeah? Thanks for nothing I can't think, when there's nothing in my head I can't move, if I can't even get out of bed And If you wait for an answer, you'll never fucking get it If you never take the risk, then you'll live to regret it You'll never know, if you never even try You'll never live, when you're waiting to die
