Picking my brain And I still can't find a reason for your war Needless to say Such behavior in the past has left us warned No, I won't pledge My allegiance and the outcome serves me right What about those who've bled? Lost all sense of hope and daily fear in their lives In the interest of whom (In the interest of whom?) Are many lives lost? In the interest of whom? Take part in your war Picking my brain And I'm troubled by the question: Who'll kill man? Needless to say From our actions, answers have been made clear What's the protocol? With my pride in the struggle, I Pose a threat Against the ruling class In the interest of whom Are many lives lost? In the interest of whom? Take part in your war (Fuck you, no, thanks) Fuck you, no, thanks Fuck you, no, thanks I won't, I won't fight I know your lies War, you know everything about death And you're smothering me I can't catch my breath See right through you
2.
A will to survive Shackled and silent Oppressive self-religion Holds us back Token hands close Tightly around necks Neglecting those Which would impair them Each chosen word Burns through my heart Complacent standards Torn apart But there's not room Left for ignorance Who's held legs Prone to movement Who's held back (Who's held back) Who's held... (Who's held back) All torn apart, who's held back (All torn apart) Us, us (Torn apart)
3.
Certain choices make things seem all right At the same time It's a notion For the big at heart A constant struggle To be torn apart Torn apart Torn apart Torn apart Torn apart Creative use of words to delegate To appear all right It's a notion For the big at heart A constant struggle To be torn apart Torn apart Torn apart Torn apart Torn apart Correcting your behavior (Correcting your behavior) No, I'm not the savior (No, I'm not the savior) Though I still remain (Though I refuse to remain mute) I'll challenge you (I'll challenge you and those alike) And those alike ('Cause ignorance is what's kept you blind) Is what's left you blind Don't care if (Don't care if disrespect is what you feel) Disrespect (If disrespect is what you feel)
4.
Since when is it over? Overwhelmed with defeat Perhaps a chance for Mistakes is threatening Downsize your loss Propelled by my greed Means just getting one more chance One more chance to ridicule me Each arm posed, the blood Holds still How will I How will I know? We used to sit Together, eyes locked Anticipating Each time we'd meet Each arm posed The blood spills Help them Through the night (The martyr takes a step) Are they close? (Takes a step towards) (Towards the unexpected) Do they know (Floating down) (Floating down, no one in sight) About it? (No one in sight) I don't doubt it (No one in sight) Now all there is To look forward to Is your Is your Now all there is To look forward to Is your Anti participation
5.
All votes are in Deconstruction of a culture seems obvious Reconstruction of a culture homogenous Snatch the taste for compassion, nothing but lies Land of the free, liberty All votes are in. Unanimous
6.
When your words spill, I realize Them wiser than past days A complete turn around, you've come around And taken everything A new perspective Gives me great... To reanalyze My trust in you Although I can't quite comprehend this reckoning Just to recognize Such arrogance irrelevant Your useless words come to mind A new perspective Gives me great faith To reanalyze My trust in you Seen better days (Seen better days) Taken everything (Taken everything) Wiser than past days (Wiser than past days) Now I've lost all faith (Now I've lost all faith)
7.
Feel the weight (Sometimes silence) Overwhelming force (Is all I need) Sent on a quest (Sometimes silence) Consciousness (Is all...) Take all prior notions back (Hands tied behind our backs) Giving away what you did (Hands tied behind our backs) Hands tied behind backs (Hands tied behind our backs) Closer, closer than you meant (Hands tied behind our backs)
8.
Fell from grace Off weak limbs Now to stand Means everything Confidence fades As I wallow in so deep (Walls come crashing down) As I wallow in so deep (Crashing all around) As I wallow in so deep As I wallow in so deep Just a taste It takes hold Admitting I was wrong Forced to recognize your sympathy As I wallow in so deep (Walls come crashing down) As I wallow in so deep (Crashing all around) As I wallow in so deep As I wallow in so deep Forced to recognize Your own self pity Forced to recognize Your own self pity Forced to recognize Your own self pity Forced to recognize Your own Forced to recognize Your own self pity Your own Self pity
9.
Your words could have held the ground up under my feet Although I can't recall the purpose, each one still stings Thinking back on things now filled with regret I wish we shared more time, something we'll never get back Listened Patiently Listened patiently but denial's never kind Escaping what's believed; starting to realize Instrumental in the shaping of a young mind Taught me everything, something you think I'd recognize But your words still strike a chord Each one more important Your words mean All I've got Each one more important Each one more important than the last Each one still strikes a chord Each one still strikes a chord It's all I've got Each one more important Each one more important than the last Each one still strikes a chord Deep inside my heart They're all I've got Each one more important More important than the last Your words still sting Some strike a chord Your words still sting Some strike a chord All I've got, each one more important (Only here and now Only here and now Only here and now Only here and now) All I've got, each one more important (The past creates a Camouflage to cover My wounded eyes Mistrust mistaken) All I've got, each one more important (I'm apathetic I'm apathetic I'm apathetic I'm apathetic, only) All I've got, each one more important (Only here and now Only here and now The past takes a little time To pacify satifaction)
