On a conveyor belt line
Just a cog in the machine
They need to silence me
Don't let me think of me
All the colors on the wall
Are just cubical beiges and grays
That life that once was
Stripped away by its claws
Held in captivity
Like an animal never to be freed
All the colors on the wall
Are just cubical beiges and grays
Regime machine tear me
Piece from piece
And take away the thing
That makes me a human being
I don't think you understand
People just don't work that way
There's something wrong with your head
You'll just make them afraid
All the colors on the wall
Are just cubical beiges and grays
Regime machine tear me
Piece from piece
And take away the thing
That makes me a human being

Bodies

Looking around
Where has all the time gone
Wasted now
Yet I still feel empty
Bodies
Everywhere
Bodies
All I see
My soul
I don't remember the last time
My bones
Had something left to hold
Bodies
Everywhere
Bodies
All I see
Left forgotten
My final resting place
Empty vessel
My body has decayed
Child in white
Appears to me at night
From the darkness
To bring me to the light
Left to die
Now I understand why
Still so cruel
The World threw me away
Bodies
Everywhere
Bodies
All I see
Hollow
Rotten and forgotten
Too cold
This ground in which I lie
Bodies
Everywhere
Bodies
All I see
Left forgotten
My final resting place
Empty vessel
My body has decayed
Child in white
Appears to me at night
From the darkness
To bring me to the light
Kill your body
Left forgotten
My final resting place
Empty vessel
My body has decayed
Child in white
Appears to me at night
From the darkness
To bring me to the light

Giving Up on Friends
02:48

In the place that you call your home
Are your actions still the same?
Do you keep your integrity
Or just put up an act instead?
Is there something wrong with your head?
It can't be 'cause everyone's the same
Where have all the good people gone?
Did they all get betrayed and say
Can I give my trust away?
(I don't think so, I don't think so-o)
I gave up on having friends today
(Oh you know-o, Oh you know-o-o)
Should I go outside anyway?
(I don't think so, I don't think so-o)
I gave up on trying again today
(Oh you know-o, Oh you know-o-o)
Will you still call them friends on the day
When they're all dancing on your grave?
Where have all the good people gone?
Did they all get betrayed and say
Can I give my trust away?
(I don't think so, I don't think so-o)
I gave up on having friends today
(Oh you know-o, Oh you know-o-o)
Should I go outside anyway?
(I don't think so, I don't think so-o)
I gave up on trying again today
(Oh you know-o, Oh you know-o-o)
Can I give my trust away?
(I don't think so, I don't think so-o)
I gave up on having friends today
(Oh you know-o, Oh you know-o-o)
Should I go outside anyway?
(I don't think so, I don't think so-o)
I gave up on trying again today
(Oh you know-o, Oh you know-o-o)

Heaven's Gates

I made another mistake again (oh no)
Should I just stop trying at all? (I think so)
Each chance I take is another step (to trip on)
Is it even worth it anymore (to go on)
Helpless and hopeless
Selfish and soulless
I don't understand what I did wrong (I don't know)
Won't someone give me a sign at all (just tell me)
Just why is my head the way it is? (it's broken)
Wish I could just be like all of them (oh I wish)
Helpless and hopeless
Selfish and soulless
Have I fallen too far from grace to be taken into Heaven's gates?
I hope and pray it's not too late to save myself from such a fate
Can't fix the problems with my brain I wish that I could be the same
Oh what's it like up there today just can't allow myself to stay
Should I even try to fix myself? (can I though)
I'm not too sure if I can at all (I'm doubtful)
I try to help but I keep failing (it's useless)
Maybe I was just a bad mistake (a failure)
Helpless and hopeless
Selfish and soulless
Have I fallen too far from grace to be taken into Heaven's gates?
I hope and pray it's not too late to save myself from such a fate
Can't fix the problems with my brain I wish that I could be the same
Oh what's it like up there today I can't allow myself to stay

My time of absence
Leaves me with nothing
Where have they all gone
Nowhere to be found
I'm standing clueless
To how I fell down
Like a coca-cola advertisement
Behind the scene of a man being beaten to death
An ounce of power can turn even the best man
Into a shell of what he once was
They're all paid actors in the end
Their plastic faces make them look so dead
Don't need humanity, your soul is merely a brand
What's the point of a friend if they leave you in the end
Is this your progress
An electric fence
Blocking my exit
State-sponsored malice
Bare-knees broken glass
Murder used for peace
Like a coca-cola advertisement
Behind the scene of a man being beaten to death
An ounce of power can turn even the best man
Into a shell of what he once was
They're all paid actors in the end
Their plastic faces make them look so dead
Don't need humanity, your soul is merely a brand
What's the point of a friend if they leave you in the end

Yesterday Erased
03:47
|

|
Locked away in cages, just like animals (that's what we are)
Giving us our morning pills, make sure that you're full (oh I am)
Of the things that they call food, that they still feed to us (though tubes)
Keep yourselves separated, or you just might catch it (I already have)
Who cares about tomorrow?
They already erased yesterday
Nothing left to follow
It all feels like such a waste
Choking on the ashes
Of a world you set a
Light for your own pleasure
Throwing away the future
Every single day's the same, but they still love it (because they're told to)
I'm beginning to gain, a disdain for everything (from my separation)
Where has all this time gone, they took it away (but why would they want it?)
I don't know what their plan is, but I guarantee that it ain't good (wait what's happening?)
Who cares about tomorrow?
They already erased yesterday
Nothing left to follow
It all feels like such a waste
Choking on the ashes
Of a world you set a
Light for your own pleasure
Throwing away the future
I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-feel so happy
in my happy place (in my cell)
Who cares about tomorrow?
They already erased yesterday
Nothing left to follow
It all feels like such a waste
Throw away your...
Throw away your...
Throw away your...
Throw away your...
Life

Everything's Alright
06:15

I've had good things happen to me
But only when I was asleep
When I wake up they disappear
And leave me cold and so empty
It's such a complicated mess
How my thoughts flow through my head
It's a blessing occasionally
But it so often curses me
I'm sorry for the things I can't control
And I'll try, to be, better tomorrow
But it's alright
But it's alright
I haven't always been that great
The past is still there haunting me
Something I've tried to escape
But it's still hard to break free
There's still good inside you now
You just have to win the fight
Push your inner darkness down
And try to reach up to the light
I'm sorry for the things I can't control
And I'll try, to be, better tomorrow
But it's alright
But it's alright
Are you really living life
When you just sit there and complain
Don't waste all of your energy
On the things that you can't maintain
Don't just sit and count the days
Live all the ones you still have left
Make the most of your short stay
Treat every day like it's your last
I'm sorry for the things I can't control
And I'll try, to be, better tomorrow
But it's alright
But it's alright
Everything's alright
And we're all gonna be just fine

I try to do as much as I possibly can.
New album in the works.
Neopoliten recommends:
Really great noise rock from a band/artist that I give my eternal support. A really great album overflowing with personality that's in your face and doesn't back off. Formerly of deblimp.bandcamp.com
go to album
Chamber pop emo/math rock that's filled with excellent dynamics that seamlessly switch between minimalism and full-force maximalism. The vocal style here is powerful and really unique.

Absolutely love this album. I really like the keys, the horns, the grooves and tone that sets this album apart from being just another rock album. It has both power and an atmosphere to make it something even more special to me. some of the lyrics hit close to home as well. The performances are great, and the mix of it all has a certain tone throughout. Anyways, brilliant stuff!
