Outspoken Outcast

(
Play) (Video) (Info)

Clamping down an urge
Simmering disgusts
A balance
Between extreme direction and political righteousness

Accepting critical opinions
In a manner that goes against your every grain
Yet it seems that in order to "fit in" or to "get along"
We succumb to this putrid in preservation of our livelihood
Outspoken and outcast but they'll never outlast me
Out of sight and out of mind so get out of my mind
I'm outspoken and outcast but they'll never outlast me

Balanced on the edge, Outspoken Outcast
What did they allege? Carving way too fast?
Fierce upon the rail standing free flying past
Sleeping through the diamondz, but thoroughly outclassed

Go, Oh no
You go, down with the show
See, you won't carry me
We cannot get free, but they'll never outlast me

Outspoken Outcast
Never outlast
Outspoken Outcast
Go no no no

Slipping into layers, mobbed at every turn
Defining all the players, while on the hook you burn
You expect to be there to see me when I bail
But you're the sheep, the suspect, and out of mind you'll fail

Go, Oh no
You go, down with the show
See, you don't carry me
We cannot get free, but they'll never outlast me

Outspoken Outcast
Never outlast
Outspoken Outcast
Go no no no

Outspoken Outcast
Never outlast
Outspoken Outcast
Never outlast

 

Tick Tock

Tick tock tick tock
Tick tock tick tock

Who are you, and who am I
Buzzing in my brain, throbbing temple vein
Why won't you stop with your

Tick tock tick tock
Tick tock tick tock

It's nothing, nothing at all
Just your mouth aping the crawl
Between the moldering decays
That fill up all of our days

Mired in these ugly sessions
Crushing me with lemming lessons
Wrenching me to a plotted path
Which has no tolerance for wrath
With your

Tick tock tick tock
Tick tock tick tock

I know who you are. You are my enemy.
Fill me with disdain, Can't you just constrain
Your pointless feeble squawk
It's your

Tick tock tick tock
Tick tock tick tock

My pulse just like yours beats with the time
Without committing the crime
Of voicing every shred
Of thought that is inside your head

Your eye becomes the prize
And I can improvise
A method with which I'll end
The torture of a friend
No more
Tick tock tick tock

Where's that measured pacing now
Replaced with sudden fear your brow
Is raised high and poised to receive
A kind of pain you won't believe

Was it wrong and bad and cruel?
Am I just a raving fool?
To hate with every part of me
The soul expunging tyranny
Of Tick tock tick tock
Tick tock tick Tock

Shall we let all of our children die today?
Shall we let all of their futures get blown away?

Your gun control has no control

Over anybody…

Shall we fight until we can no longer see?
Shall we love liberty’s bell until it tolls for thee

You’re in love with anarchY
You’re in love with anarchy
You’re in love with anarchy
Until anarchy comes for you…

Shall we try to get past this insanity?
Shall we try to evolve our own humanity?

Your gun control has no control
Your gun control has no control
Your gun control has no control
Your gun control has no control
Your gun control has no control
Your gun control has no control
Your gun control has no control
Over anybody…

Shall we do the right things that must be done?
Or shall we just hand out guns to everyone?

You’re in love with anarchy
Because anarchy works for you

 

While I'm Awake

Some were born to follow the leader,
Some were born to make their own way,
Others were born in constant struggle,
Only wanting to live another day,
Some were born in perceived greatness,
Some were born to get their say,
Others were born just to defile,
Only wanting death and decay.

Our lives we create,
Our seeds our own to sow,
My own choices I make,
While I’m awake,
While I’m awake,
While I’m awake I’m in control…

Some were born to be killers,
Some were born to steal you away,
Others were born to keep this slime,
From seeing the light of day,
Some were born to stand in the shadows,
Some were born to stand in the light,
Most of us think we were born for a reason,
And all of us can’t help but be right.

The lives we create,
Our seeds our own to sow,
My own choices I make,
While I’m awake,
While I’m awake,
While I’m awake I’m in control…

 
Destruction Outside Of My Head

(
Play) (Video) (Info)

Destruction outside of my head
Destruction I can't be fed
Obstructions inside led
Their mangy terrible inhuman
Transactions
Destruction outside of my head
Destruction I can not be led
Conductions sinful decider
Transactions multiplied generations

Invincible
Impenetrable masked figure
Commotion
All the smoke screens
How is this OK?
Mocking masses shame

Destruction outside of my head
Corruption.
That's what I said
Communion.
Spiritual deviant
Posing like a rag doll
While hanging on your cross
Destruction I say it again
Destruction secretive insurgence
Silence yet manic depressant
Hogging the attention
To play their satisfaction

Invincible
Impenetrable masked figure
Commotion
All the smoke screens
How is this OK?
Mocking masses shame

Comatose

(
Play) (Video) (Info)

I took my time and time would tell,
Locked away in a mental cell.
Emotional refugee,
I looked around and death was all I’d see.
I can’t believe its heaven or hell,
But the way I felt it might as well,
Or just cold nothingness,
As our molecules leave their shell,
But what I heard that day,
Left me comatose…

And I want to feel,
The sunshine on my face,
And not feel out of place.
I can’t, I can’t…
And I want to see,
The smile upon your face,
Nothing can take your place.
I can’t, I can’t…

I talked to you the same day,
I can’t recall the song you played,
An hour or two before,
Death came knocking at your door.
The next morning I found out,
The day I learned what life’s about.
Your mom she saw and tried,
But seeing us would only make her cry,
Forever, numbingly,
Comatose…

And I want to feel,
The sunshine on my face,
And not feel out of place.
I can’t, I can’t…
And I want to see,
The smile upon your face,
Nothing can take your place.
I can’t, I can’t…

 

Nothing

(
Play) (Video) (Info)

In the darkest of the night it comes alive
To take your life, the great divide
The darkness has you in the depths of the earth
You wish that maybe you’ll be reborn in birth
But there’s nothing but darkness for you
No matter what you do

Oh your life’s been taken
And you think you’re shaking
But there’s darkness around you
And you’re saying this can’t be so
You can’t let go… You can’t let go…

You try to see but you have no sight
You’re all in darkness and you wish you could feel fright
But you feel nothing, nothing at all
And this nothing is your downfall
Fall… Fall…

Welcome my son to the great void
You think there’s an afterlife but it’s all devoid
Now you’re thinking all the people are wrong
And you can’t be reminded by a simple song
That there’s nothing, nothing at all
There must be something, infinite and all

So you better live your life like it’s the only one you got
Yeah you better live your life like you only got one shot
Cause there’s nothing, nothing at all
So you better think twice before you make that fall.

A place where you can feel
Beings of the unknown
Wrap around your body
And strangle your mind

You will be a delight in their feast
Among scavenger demons
Feeling the unbearable pain
As you become buried in their teeth

Not a cry or a scream for help
Can remove you from this desolate place
Not a soul can hear you
Not one soul

Your body is shredded into pieces
And strewn throughout the demons teeth
You're swallowed into hell
And digested into a fiery pit

You will forever live in sin
In the scorching depths of hell
In death you cannot dwell
In death you can not dwell

 

Another Death

(
Play) (Video) (Info)

Anger penetrates my soul
My mind drifts just like the endless sea
Knowing I have to face the troubles
My body seeks to be free

What is this I am hearing
Another death
What is this I am seeing
Another death
What is this I am feeling
Another death

Knowing what to say or do
The world still burns with hatred
The tribulations that men face
Is what I've been set up against

What is this I am hearing
Another death
What is this I am seeing
Another death
What is this I am feeling
Another death

Burns with hatred burns with hate
Penetrates it penetrate
Up against it up against

Anger penetrates my soul
My mind drifts like the endless sea
Knowing I have to face the troubles
My body seeks to be free

What is this I am hearing
Another death
What is this I am seeing
Another death
What is this I am feeling
Another death

Over-reactor Meltdown

(
Play) (Video) (Info)

Sneer at your degeneration,
Scowl all the time,
Energy drained negative relation,
Far from sublime

Then I hear,
Alarms go off in your mind,
Your half-life you just can’t find,
Super-heated steam clouds your vision,
Irradiated by your poisonous fission.

It’s clear the problem is in the core,
It’s unstable,
We fear the coolant is no more,
You’re not able

To see the fallout melt inside,
A reaction you just can’t hide,
Uranium decays in your head,
Even Geiger can’t count the dead.

 

Burn Down The Straw Men

(
Play) (Video) (Info)

Distracted by so many things
The ignorance it brings
Our logic is a lie

Spewing out straw from sound holes
Ignoring all the tolls
The dust is in our eyes

We’re gonna watch them burn down
We’re gonna watch all the straw men burn to the ground

We all have straw in our shoes
We all know what to do
It’s not hard to see

We can no longer pretend
The fallacies have to end
In burning effigies

We’re gonna watch them burn down
We’re gonna watch all the straw men burn to the ground

Burn down the straw men

When all the smoke finally clears
We’ll wash away all the tears
And the truth we’ll see

No longer drawing them near
When the straw men disappear
There’ll just be lucidity

We’re gonna watch them burn down
We’re gonna watch all the straw men burn to the ground

Burn down the straw men
