It May Never Come - Steph
I can only take so much before I dry out like all the rest
If you bite the hands that feed they'll never do another good deed
but you know there are others who will give you what you need
why can't you work for yourself?
what has made you this way?
are you scarred by a painful life?
If others didn't hold you up, you would surely fall
it wouldn't take very long
wait forever for you chance, it may never come
Look around.. realize... that you control your life!
Helping hands only help for so long and then they start to push and hold you down
I see you falling... and you don't even care..
Should I help pick you up?
Or will you pull me down?
No Time - Steph
Where does all the time go?
Punched into clocks upon the wall.. transformed into a printed pay stub.
Time is money and no one ever has any extra time or extra money.
No one has time to be polite if they aren't being paid for it.
No one has time for other people, let alone time for themselves.
Time to sleep and time to eat and time to work but no time inbetween.
Break the fucking clocks! Break your fucking watch!
Take back your time! Take back your life!
Time is the tightest noose around our necks the heaviest ball upon the chain.
Time is what binds us all and makes us live as slaves each day.
We are not free as long as we let time control our lives.
Time is irrelevent.
Your life is relevant!
Where does all the time go?
Punched into clocks upon the wall.. transformed into a printed pay stub.
Physically Alive, Emotionally Dead - Steph
Your body lived on despite your brain, completely numb to emotional pain, you couldn't kill yourself, you were already half way dead... and when they came to examine your remains, they found a healthy body and inside your skull a rotting brain.
Worms squirmed from your nostrils, maggots spilled from you eyes like tears, this wasn't a suicide this man has been dead for years
Physically alive, emotionally dead
Like a zombie living day to day, you consumed and slept away the pain, it was clear you'd already passed away
Physically alive, emotionally dead
Why Did They Build a City in the Desert? - Steph
Like dark-eyed zombies we scramble to and fro, no concept of time as we work our fingers to the bone. The Vegas sun's an oven slowly baking us to death- if we don't leave now, how much time do we have left?
Tourists exist happily while we provide pleasure for those swine. They throw their money into machines while we work for every dime. Beyond the glitz and glamour is what they aren't supposed to see, but that my friend, is the home of you and me!
Standing in the valley, looking towards the strip, we don't see glamour, we see smog hanging over it, the dark cloud that surrounds us in the city that never sleeps. Wasteland driven madness, the heat burns us from the sky. The desert sun harasses us, fulfilling all my fears, Las Vegas is a wasteland, the worst I've seen yet, Sin City's devil sun just won't let up.
The Vegas Sun's an oven slowly baking us to death - if we don't leave now, how much time do we have left?!
And Why? - Steph
War is ravaging all across the lands- humans killing humans with bloodsoaked hands it's kill or be killed in this world of shit and no one holds any guilt for it/ slaughtering one another in good faith and good name/ taught to dehumanize the other side
we're killing and killing and killing and killing/ they're dying and dying and dying and dying and why?
oceans divide child and father/ wars in the street continue the slaughter/ people are dying everyday/ I just want to know why
Its kill or be killed in this world of shit and who holds any guilt for it?
No one seems to notice or care anymore.. people are dying and who cares what for?
Killing and killing and killing and killing/ dying and dying and dying and dying
The news broadcasts images of death/They talk about the casualties but what does it really mean?/ It's just a nicer way of saying dead human beings/Desensitize the U.S.A/ forget about all the death today..
Cheerful Robot - Steph
Lead me to a life that I can stand to live
to a life where I take less than I give
Will I ever be who I want to be
or am I doomed to a life of misery?
Am I really free?
Do I even want to be?
Or am I happy
living apathetically?
Can't get trapped in routine
must rise against the machine!
Ghost of War - Chivo
I've been around in every single war, I've seen your brothers and your grandfathers die. From Gettysburg, Normandy, Berlin, I'm always there when you won't survive.
Sunken ships, ghost submarines, blown up tanks, shot down planes
I'm an old war story soldiers don't like to tell but when they see me, they know it's their time.
From Gettysburg, Normandy, Berlin, I'm always there when you won't survive.
Look into my eyes and watch your death, see your friends covered in blood, blown off legs, some still on fire. Watch in horror as the chopper falls.. you'll all burn alive and melt together.
I'm and old war story soldiers don't like to tell but when they see me they know it's their time.
Bombardment - Chris
Thousands of images in one day
Billions of dollars insure they don't go way
Every thirty seconds you see something you should buy
Buy, consume, go in debt- in the blink of an eye
It's not human nature to consume what we don't need
so they remind us every day to meet their demands of greed
A newspaper costs ten dollars to produce and less than
one dollar to buy. Corporate advertisers pay the difference
for access to our eyes and minds
A bombardment of reminders eveywhere
of the products that they sell
assure they produce the consumers
to sustain the domination of this corporate hell!
Born Blind - Steph
It seems to others that I'm so unkind
I can't help it, I was born blind
You can't teach a blind man to see
Can you teach empathy to me?
Years of isolation left me unable to relate
They don't teach compassion in any class that I can take
Watching everyone live so happily
only pushes me deeper into my ...
