Collective Upheaval
01:23
|

Do some fucking good, arm the fucking neighborhood
When there's nothing left take it all and fuck the rest
Everything is free, help your own community
Do some fucking good and arm the fucking neighborhood
What crime isn't quickly justified
when you're forced to break the law to survive
when tomorrow isn't guaranteed to come
and today is filled with nothing but the pain, that remains
when you wake up and it chases you all day
I'm small but we are big, we can take back the means
I'm one but we are more, nothing less than everything
As one we stand our ground, using hunger, using thirst
Alone we stand no chance, nothing back only forward
Back in the hands, that gave it life
Collective upheaval
Do some fucking good, arm the fucking neighborhood
Collective upheaval
When there's nothing left take it all and fuck the rest
Collective upheaval
Everything is free, help your own community
Collective upheaval
Do some fucking good and arm the fucking neighborhood

Lost Time
01:30
|

Something more than this, our inheritance
Already broken at our expense
There's nothing left just let it fall
A full collapse will right the wrong
This lost time is an endless loop, devoid of truth
This lost time that won't release, we're on repeat
Coming face to face, conditioned fear and hate
A false reality, white washed to be clean
The poison in the clouds
The stains that bleach the ground
Every last drop of blood is on these hands
Of these hands
We have to face the fact, we're the villains of the past
Rewritten history, there's no end we just start again
This our inheritance, it's uneven at another's expense
A world built on the backs of the fallen
that feeds on keeping people at the bottom
This lost time came at a price, pain in lives
This lost time, we're deaf and blind by design
The poison in the clouds
The stains that bleach the ground
Every last drop of blood is on these hands
Of these hands
We have to face the fact, we're the villains of the past
Rewritten history, there's no end we just start again
Just let it burn

No we don't fucking need you
A poison nothing's immune
You're a disease on everything
A controlled burn to consume
The one thing standing between
a jail cell or living free
The wedge in our community
Get the fuck out
Kill then ask questions, excessive force
Pulling the trigger with no remorse
How do you sleep knowing the pain
We all are clean you are the stain
You fucking hide behind a shield
that keeps your true intent concealed
A mask won't last we see you
You are the weight that keeps us down
The impediment standing in the way
from taking back what belongs to us
If you dare to struggle you dare to win
You're all the same, hired to murder
There's no thin line you are disorder
It's all the same, murder renamed
and justified through lies to misdirect the blame
Sent out to scorch the earth so everything will die
Like salt you burn the earth so everything will die
You fucking hide behind a shield
that keeps your true intent concealed
A mask won't last we see you
Kill then ask questions, excessive force
Pulling the trigger with no remorse
How do you sleep knowing the pain
We all are clean you are the stain
No we don't fucking need you
A poison nothing's immune
You're a disease on everything
A controlled burn to consume
The one thing standing between
a jail cell or living free
The wedge in our community
Get the fuck out

You Aren't Special
02:06
|
|||
From day one you've been told
everything you want is under your control
The American Dream if a fucking lie just feeding the machine
When you think you're coming up with something new
Adding weight you didn't earn to what you do
We all center you and your conditioned faith
that turns a blind eye to a world that keeps you safe
Fuck me, fuck you
Nothing's different, nothing is the same
Fuck me, fuck you
We're all different, we are all the same
You don't deserve anything
better than the rest of us we all feel the same pain
You don't deserve anything
different from the rest of us we all bleed out the same
When the light comes to take you
When real life comes to break you
When there's no place left to hide
When all that's left is survive
If you want a picture of the future
imagine a boot stomping on your face (forever)
If you want a picture of the future
imagine a boot stomping on your face
Stepping on your face
Hey - time to stand up and to fucking fight
Hey - time to stand up as one and fight
Take to, take it to the streets
Take everything you need by force through numbers
Take to, take it to the streets
Take everything you need by force
Everything keeps closing in while suffocating all within
Everything is closing in and choking out the fight within
We stand united
We fall divided
Collective defiance to mandated compliance
Collective defiance

Bleed for Something
01:39
|
|||
Crippling debt, endless bills,
Keep moving or you will die
Out of breath, don't slow down,
Keep this pace for the rest of your life
Go to school, get a job,
Check each box while your health declines
Play the part, know your role,
Take the open place in line
Nothing left
Bleed out to the last drop
The breaking point
A suicide buy cop
Destroy or you will be destroyed
Left with nothing and with no choice
Violence is at the system's heart
Violence used to keep us apart
Everything's been mapped out, every single breath
Bring you into this world, slow walk you to your death
Nothing left
Bleed out to the last drop
The breaking point
A suicide buy cop
Pick your poison, quick death or draw it out
We're all meant to fail, some with but most without
When you need to eat, stop so you can breathe
Take whatever you need
Take back everything
It's only crime, break the laws of broken people
It's only crime, making survival illegal
Bleed for you, bleed for me
Not for them bleed for something

Every Part
01:11
|
|||
Everything I hide rising up again
Every day's a fight that I never win
In an endless loop, constant up and down
Bracing for the crash, racing to the end
This is it, this is part of me
Without lies, without nothing
This is part of me
Something loud so I can hear
Another way that I can feel
Something bright so I can see
Another way that is more real
Sitting at a sprint
These walls are closing in
Running out of time
The walls are closing in
Something loud so I can hear
Another way that I can feel
Something bright so I can see
Another way that is more real
Every part of me
Something real
Every part of me

On the Watch
03:39
|
|||
Devoid of light, nothing but weight
Holding you down, suffocating pinned in place
When it just won't stop, when it never ends
All of the sacrifices start over again
This is your life, be on the watch
There are ways out, somewhere to cross
You only die once but live everyday
Death is finite but life will still remain
This life is death
It's all that's left
Fuck the oppressive state
Fuck the cops filled with hate
Fuck every last person
who thinks they own your fate
Go all out, there is no bottom just the ground
Every last terrible thing
All the hurt and all the pain
Won't change a god damn thing
Your life is your life
So fuck it all, everything behind you is the same
So fuck it all, every reminder fuels the flame
Death is more universal than life
Everyone dies not everyone lives
It's better to burn out than to fade away
Losing myself, I tried everything
To find courage I knew in youth
Welcome the hell that was killing you
Devoid of light, nothing but weight
Holding you down, suffocation pinned in place
The arroyo's wet, the deluge won't stop
It will go dry, everything will have it's end
This is your life, be on the watch
There are ways out, somewhere to cross
You only die once but live everyday
Death is finite but life will still remain
This life is death
It's all that's left
Life is death- darkness makes everything more bright
Life is death- the black makes everything more white
This is the last breath you will ever take
Will you just let it dissipate
Every minute you are alive, go!
Every moment passing you by, go!
This is the last breath you will ever take
Will you just throw it all away

Death by Noise
01:39
|
|||
When will it stop chasing me
What you can't unsee
We keep reliving the past
Our lost history
Death by noise,
Death by a thousand cuts,
Everyone's to blame,
Everyone's the victim
Everyone's the same
Why won't it go the fuck away, a shadow that remains
blackens every day, whiteness is a stain
When you're given everything nothing will be enough
When you think this centers you, gifted grace from above
Loss for me has consumed everything
I don't need anything more than you
Insert yourself into another's fate
Self deception that you carry any weight
We are all death, destroyer of worlds

Separate Unequal
01:21
|
|||
The same way into this life
The same way out we all die
The same choices we make will deviate
Separate unequal
Scaled of justice, the imbalance
Blindfolded truth breeds violence
Two different lines that we walk
Different rules written in chalk
Ghosts from our past alive today
The hardships that we all face
The same mistakes we all make
Divergent paths we take that choose our face
Separate unequal

Useful Idiot
01:14
|
|||
We want it all without the work, force fed we feed
Leave it to someone else to tell us how to think
The ground is shifting while we're staring at the lights
For entertainment trade away your rights
The circus is the new bread
Amusement to our death
Like a cloud hanging over our head
More leaves us all with less
We are the useful idiot
Self medicate to block it out but it plays into the game
Sit back and wait, it's all the same
It's a brave new world stuck in 1984
A willing public and oppressive state control
Follow the leader to make sure you're never last
The people do their bidding without being told
The circus is the new bread
Amusement to our death
Like a cloud hanging over our head
More leaves us all with less
We are the useful idiot

Social Credit Score
01:21
|
|||
It's not a tragedy if we don't all agree
Nothing is lost, nothing is gained
Social credit score shielding you from the world
All the time you waste, every moment you erase is gone
This life is burned under the gun
We're all on the same sinking ship
We bail together or we sink
What's your agony, voyeur or vanity
Hating your self, fake it through hell
Living in the clouds telling others what's allowed
All the time we waste, every moment we erase is gone
This life is burned under the gun
We're all on the same sinking ship
We bail together or we sink
This world's alive
It's burning while we're safe inside

Kill the Gods
01:09
|
|||
One more drink to keep blurring the past
to keep pushing back reality
One more drink to forget what I've lost
Never had, never will, never be
Kill your gods!
Burn your past, there's no fate
Kill your gods!
One chance to live today
One more drink and I'm feeling ok
about everything that's gone away
About living in violence while beaten to silence
Kill your gods!
Bury your past, there is no fate
No tomorrow, only today
Take the pain, it's the same, it never stops
Fuck your hope, fuck your dreams, fuck all your thoughts
It never stops
