This was never a gimmick / or a passing trend
Sober ’til it’s over / To the bitter end
The X on my hand / Now and forever
The few and the proud / keeping it together
It’s time - to Set The Standard
It’s for the die hards / and not the try hards
This vow I hold true to my fuckin’ grave
Some dressed the part / but had no heart
We saw right through their foolish games

Beyond The Modes

Trapped by the modes, no way out
Tightening the ropes, you’re all caught up
Lust anger and greed, consume your soul
Envy, madness and illusion take control
BEYOND THE MODES
We gotta break free from these modes
of material nature, that bind us all
True freedom is there for us to attain
Self realization, our greatest gain
BEYOND THE MODES
OF PASSION AND IGNORANCE
We’re so conditioned to our misery
We view a distorted reality
Gotta let go of our false ego
To see things for what they truly are

Stolen Lives

Thougthlessly you fill your plate
You know the facts, but won’t relate
Ingesting only fear and pain
Every mouthful leaves bloodstains
We know the truth, but we close our eyes
Just for a taste, we steal their lives
Cognitive dissonance
bury your head in the sand
Say you’ll never make a difference
Just an excuse to remain complacent
Dissociate, depersonalize
so we don’t have to face the fear in their eyes
Can’t you hear their helpless cries?
At the end of their stolen lives
Behind closed doors, the fear, the pain
Our choices made will seal their fate
I beg compassion, it’s not too late
To save them from the butcher’s blade

End Of The Line
03:35

|

Reached out to communicate
You lashed out with words of hate
connection cut off, caught in a rage
Spewing insults to retaliate
You went too far, won’t take no more
I set my boundaries, I shut you out
This is the end of the line
Took my time, to straighten you out
Misconceptions you spout without the benefit of the doubt
The ugly pictures you paint,
of my beliefs and my chosen path
Only portray your own ignorance
