Fry My Mind
02:08
|

I wish a pen and paper would be enough
When I am sitting here spilling out my guts
I know I can't be with you, that you're not good for me
I was fine before this, fuck off and let it be
I thought about it all
Psychoanalyzed
Being quite serious
I wish the silence wasn't so loud
The way you looked at me
Filled me up with doubt
We were in different places, you were no good for me
I said it once before, fuck off and let me be
I thought about it all
Psychoanalyzed
Being quite serious
I just want to fry my mind
I'd rather not feel antagonized
Being quite serious
I just want to fry my mind
Just want to fry my mind

Not Today
02:34
|

Never was a model child
Always marched to the beat of her own drum
Good days were less than shitty days
Never thought she'd come this far
Not Today
Asked herself if what she did was okay
Did he mean to look at you that way?
Did he mean to put his hands up your dress?
He didn't deserve your innocence, ignorant
Accused of all these notions
Feeling freedom is no longer the same
I saw, you felt as he played
Feeling freedom is no longer the same
Not Today
No longer the same…
Fumble these struggles everyday
You sit down at home, and she has bills to pay
Living for work, and working to live
Her American dream washed away, far away
Accused of all these notions
Feeling freedom is no longer the same
I saw, you felt as he played
Feeling freedom is no longer the same
Not Today

Bully
02:44
|

How many lives have you taken apart?
How many people fell under your petty hands?
How much hatred is enough for your entertainment?
Not to worry, the show must go on
I think you're such a bore
Because of you we lost control
Trade in our pride, our goals
Thanks to your greed we lost it all
How many years do we put up with this shit?
How many times can we say we've had enough?
How many mistakes can you possibly convey?
How many chances have we had to do the right things?
I think you're such a bore
Because of you we lost control
Trade in our pride, our goals
Thanks to your greed we lost it all
Stare in the mirror
Do you like what you see?
Sit behind a keyboard, not caring who you bully
Not now or not ever
Will you ever change, but I will carry on
I think you're such a bore
Because of you we lost control
Trade in our pride, our goals
Thanks to your greed we lost it all

Resistance
01:42
|

Resistance is coming
Oppression will decay
We walk among the surface, time to celebrate
Racism will die, relinquish your faith
To put us through the tests that mere men create
I cannot understand
The fuckers in command
America's on board like a game of chess
If you're not playing clean you will be put in a trance
You're part of the resistance so throw away the plan
If you're feeling tired, come take my hand
Divided we were once but now together we stand
Drama's all I see
Death seen on tv
Killing mother earth, melting pot of the freed
If it were up to me, I'd kill humanity
Land of the living dead, melting pot of the freed
They'll destroy you if they can
Part of the master plan
Now it's time to rise up, destroy them if we can
Changes never come if we don't put them on demand
You're part of the resistance so throw away the plan
If you're feeling tired, come take my hand
Divided we were once but now together we stand
Drama's all I see
Death seen on tv
Killing mother earth, melting pot of the freed
If it were up to me, I'd kill humanity
Land of the living dead, melting pot of the freed

Parasite
02:22
|

The signs have spoken
Parasites everywhere I see
Your bones have broken
At this point will they heal back again?
Tearing my skin open
As the feet of dirt sink into me
Burn it up, burn it down
Suffocate me, did I drown?
These people leave me such a distaste
Us trying to fit in
But I'm not a puzzle you can just squeeze in
I'm telling you, fuck you
You fucking parasite, you can't just get it right
You fucking parasite, how can you sleep at night?
You fucking parasite, you don't know wrong from right
How can you sleep at night, you fucking parasite
All I can say is I fucking hate you
Hate you 'til I die
Hate whoever made you
I'm telling you, I'm telling you
You drive me fucking crazy
At the end of it, it's me and only me
Against the hazy days
You fucking people leave me such a distaste
Us trying to fit in
But I'm not a puzzle you can just squeeze in
I'm telling you, fuck you
You fucking parasite, you can't just get it right
You fucking parasite, how can you sleep at night?
You fucking parasite, you don't know wrong from right
How can you sleep at night, you fucking parasite

Worst Enemy
02:40
|
|||
There's no ending in sight
No hope for a better tomorrow
Everything stresses me out
Where's the light at the end of the tunnel?
And I can't find words to tell you
And yes everything sucks
But once the pain is over
We'll rise among the dust
I know the fabric of time is fine
Will we learn to open our eyes?
You couldn't set me free
You became the worst part of me
I'm slowly sinking
This human isn't me
I'm not a shallow person
Will you please rescue me?
And I can't find words to tell you
And yes everything sucks
But once the pain is over
We'll rise among the dust
I know the fabric of time is fine
Will we learn to open our eyes?
You couldn't set me free
You became the worst part of me
I know the fabric of time is fine
Will we learn to open our eyes?
You couldn't set me free
You became the worst part of me
Watching myself turn into
Who I said I wouldn't be
Caught in despair, in shambles
Becoming my worst enemy

Hollow
02:35
|
|||
Woke up to smell the roses
Anxiety came knocking
This senseless deprivation
This lack of motivation
Turning me inside out
Something that takes me nowhere
Losing myself sometimes
Maybe holding on too tight
Drowning in your cup of water
Thinking that this could make it better
This is a bitter pill to swallow
It leaves everything inside me so hollow
Hollow
Woke up to hate myself
I just need medication
Perpetually frustrated
Always stuck feeling jaded
Turning me inside out
Something that takes me nowhere
Losing myself sometimes
I'm holding on too tight
Drowning in your cup of water
Thinking that this could make it better
This is a bitter pill to swallow
It leaves everything inside me so hollow
Hollow

Only Human
02:03
|

Wake me up when it's over
Will I get to move on?
I'm not scared to say sorry for things that I have done
I'm not afraid to tell you, I know when I fuck up
But I'll take no excuses for the things you have done
Because these demons, they always follow me
I'm only human, give me a chance to breathe
I'll never follow, I was put here to lead
I'm only human, give me some space to breathe
I just want out of this hell
So high up, until I fell
I just want to run fast and exit this place today
I know I am a monster, I could have told you that
I'm not scared to admit that I'm a fucking mess
I'm not afraid to fall, I will get up again
You couldn't take my worst, you will not get my best
Because these demons, they always follow me
I'm only human, give me a chance to breathe
I'll never follow, I was put here to lead
I'm only human, give me some space to breathe
I just want out of this hell
So high up, until I fell
I just want to run fast and exit this place today

Never Settle
02:34
|

I'm not going to settle
It keeps me up at night
I toss and turn again and again
The nightmare doesn't seem to end
She walks through the shadows
Of mistakes she's passed
She'll go back to fix them from time to time
But time keeps passing by
Your hands aren't fragile, just drifting away
They say the answer will come
But you know we have to wait
Time's not my friend, this lingering won't end
It keeps me settled, but I just can't settle again
I won't settle again
You thought I was broken
You tried to fix me
But let me remind you when nothing is broken
There's nothing to fix
As I make my anthem
I'll walk these broken paths
Go down the road, walk through it all
If I could do it again
Your hands aren't fragile, just drifting away
They say the answer will come
But you know we have to wait
Time's not my friend, this lingering won't end
It keeps me settled, but I just can't settle again
I won't settle again
Won't settle again

Pray For All
02:15
|

Tune in to your radio station
Hear the fight song blasting through
Stay awake, sleep deprivation
Bringing the war now to you
There are things that are out of control
Simple things that we often ignore
A cry for help, a desperate soul
Let's fight for us, let pray for all
So many lives in danger
So many kids unsafe
So much money wasted
On wars we can't afford to pay
I see mothers crying
Burying their young
Innocents imprisoned
Just to die for a bigger cause
Tune in to your radio station
Hear the fight song blasting through
Stay awake, sleep deprivation
Bringing the war now to you
There are things that are out of control
Simple things that we often ignore
A cry for help, a desperate soul
Let's fight for us, let pray for all
Sign your life at eighteen
To the ones that turn their back on you
Daily veteran suicide, spiking through the roof
Tax our lives day to day
Everything they promise you
Take the opportunity that stands in front of you

Pick Your Poison
02:15
|

He comes at night to eat his prey
Destructive thoughts won't fade away
Am I an empty shell?
While someone else controls my head
And I'll be here taking these victories
It's a long road to who I'll become
Thanks mother mercy for what you have done
Programmed to follow, to fit your agenda
Distractions around me, my head is all messed up
Programmed to follow, to fit your agenda
Distractions around me, I am the pretender
Pick your poison
Sell your drugs
I sit behind these broken bars
These pills won't do anything for me
"You're born with this anxiety"
You think I'm fine
As far as the eyes can see
Programmed to follow, to fit your agenda
Distractions around me, my head is all messed up
Programmed to follow, to fit your agenda
Distractions around me, I am the pretender
Visions, the visions
The reason, the treason
I sit in this prison, as I watch the seasons
Visions, the visions
The reason, the treason
I sit in this prison, as I watch the seasons
