Hiding away Avoiding society Can't face the world A reclusive entity I put on a façade when I go out My shyness masked by intoxicants

Opethrone 04:48
Darkness spreads across the land Seated upon it's throne Terror in civilian hearts And panic in their bones Fly you fools The end is near Steel yourselves Death is here From towers in the poisoned lands The orders are given Ash falls from forsaken skies And smoke fills our lungs Fly you fools The end is near Steel yourselves Death is here Fly you fools The end is near

I feel incorporeal. Not comprised of matter. Having no material existence. But I can see my hands as they grasp for help. Nothing feels real. I don't feel tangible. Nothing feels. Awash with dismay. Pirouetting into the void. Like some coin spun by an unseen hand. A rock skipping along the surface. Soaring through the air, only feeling the water for a moment. Drowned in the end with overwhelming sensation. And I can see my hands as they grasp for help. Nothing feels real. Nothing feels tangible. Nothing feels.
4.
Falling to my death (breathe in, breathe out) Fighting for my life (breathe in, breathe out) I'm still here (breathe in, breathe out) Change is in the air I've changed myself, I've changed my name No longer will I feel ashamed The weight of your shadow's gone This is who I a really am Doom is near Kill your fears

Dystopeia 05:21
The world's one fire It keeps getting hotter People are dying in the streets From disease, poverty, and police The rich get richer As we all suffer What are we to do as the world crumbles? We're marching in the streets, ignored by the elite Now we're stuck in the middle of a mass extinction event The dystopian future we always thought was fiction Trapped in a system built by wealthy white men And they thought of every single contingency plan The world's one fire It keeps getting hotter People are dying in the streets From disease, poverty, and police The rich get richer As we all suffer What are we to do as the world crumbles? Brutalized in the streets, by those sworn to protect the peace Now we're spiraling out of control in this dystopian state Ensnared by a structure built on greed and hate Shadow and gloom close in from every side How were we ever meant to survive?

Yoko Ope No 05:09
Betrayed, deceived, let down, treachery Stabbed in the back Who can I trust? A personal attack I feel so fucking lost I want to escape from this god damn place I've lost my faith in humanity Betrayal has rattled me to the core I don't know what to do anymore A slap across the face The word resounds again A memory I can't erase Betrayed I want to escape from this god damn place I've lost my faith in humanity Betrayal has rattled me to the core I don't know what to do anymore I must press on to my doom With or without you

Opesick 04:00
Fair and balanced From people you know A friend you can turn to Facts first But the fox is cunning And he brought his friends They speak in circles Like vultures over prey Their sources: each other Their audience: themselves The ouroboros feeds itself By shitting in its mouth Endless cycles of misinformed Hearing the same lies from the day they're born Injustice falls on closed eyes and poisoned hearts It's not a deaf ear that refuses to hear How do we stop the endless feed of prejudice and greed? Targeted ads, a pandering myriad of lies and deceit Presented to the proud who stand for what they believe A country of freedom built on stolen land and slavery It's sickening That we're arguing For human rights And you'd say no
8.
Ent Strike 03:41
Living in squalor and fear 'cause the rent goes up every year and the landlord won't fix a thing Says all I do is complain Exploitation of the working class A machination, to keep us in our place Kill your landlord! A monthly reminder of our indoctrination Into the hellscape of capitalism Every landlord's a parasite Ruining their tenant's lives Charging us to exist And we're supposed to be content
9.
I hate myself more than I hate anyone else And if I ever stop drinking, I might kill myself 'Cause these coping mechanisms that are killing me Are the same ones keeping me fucking breathing Drink, forget, this nightmare that we live in Smoke away, the pain that you feel everyday Pop a pill, neglect everything you feel Rail the line, pretend everything is fine No amount of alcohol can end the pain There's not enough drugs to end the suffering People are starving, living without homes While men in uniforms flaunt their guns There's kids in cages, there's death in the streets And you say these murderers protect the weak Revolution will not come If we're sitting in our rooms When your votes stop changing things How will you cope with all the dead human beings? I hate myself more than I hate anyone else And if I ever stop drinking, I might kill myself 'Cause these coping mechanisms that are killing me Are the same ones keeping me fucking breathing

Desperadope 05:21
Alone again, condemned No home, no friends, abandoned Engulfed in hopelessness Crushed by a deluge of stress Dread shrieks like a bird of prey Hunting me as I run away Darkness deeper than the eye can see Colors lost, my senses leave me A light when all other lights go out Calms my nerves, suspends the doubt A moment of clarity, I think I'm fine But nightmares stir in the back of my mind Fear still fills my heart A terror waits out there in the dark
11.
Never going to give you up There's no hope of returning Intrusive thoughts you can't unthink Devouring your mind You have to let go of this fucking thing Or it will consume your life Can't let go so easily The habit's been formed It gets harder to repress the urge The longer you hold on I want to go home Only time will tell If you can save yourself
12.
So much time has passed There and back again This thing has followed me home I thought I was finally done A fading scar from the past A reminder not to go back To the way things were before Overwhelmed by fear I still hate myself some days; but there are others; where I can live with the decisions I've made.
13.
This journey has torn me apart My home no longer has my heart I'm leaving and I'm not coming back I'm finally letting go of the past That's haunted me for so long I'm finally done, I'm fucking done
