Kingdom of Apathy
asphyxiation , i cant breathe
cos the dirt in the air holds on too tight,
for my lungs, are now closed
all the stress is addictive anxiously await, the next move
fighting for all intents and purposes
its what you all wanted taken for granted
burden to ourselves, its not too late
where are the vows that we're supposed to keep?
Nothing but empty promises and broken dreams
closing doors and searching for answers - asphyxiation
as far as you can see, in their kingdom of apathy
i'm, searching for salvation again, i guess we're tired
of asking for the same old shit, now pressure is mounting
nothing, will change as it is, abusing ourselves - again
time waits for no one
begging for mercy, begging for change
we are all broken by the world by design ...
force fed, and by our own hand
what have we become, no-one, nothing is sacred
i cant breathe cos the dirt in the air holds on too tight,
for my lungs, are now closed
all the stress is addictive anxiously await, the next move
fighting for all intents and purposes
its what you all wanted taken for granted
burden to ourselves, its not too late
it is not too late
where are the vows that we're supposed to keep?
Nothing but empty promises and broken dreams
closing doors and searching for answers - asphyxiation
as far as you can see, in their kingdom of apathy
as far as you can see, in their kingdom of apathy
How could you, do this to, another person like you?
How could you, do this to, another, someone like you?
How could you, do this to, another person like you?
How could you, do this to, another, person
How could you, do this to, another person like you?
How could you, do this to, another someone

Paresthesia
Paresthesia - a kind of inner torment
rip and tearing my soul from the inside out, reaction
root and branch, begin anew. its all i've known
its happening again. what?
was something said and done
to break the cycle, now my thoughts are lugging around
like a ball and a chain, such affliction
wearing you down, staring you down
if the cracked old mirror's to be believed
you'll never see the light of day
that you live for, The apprehesion
dreading something to die for
needles and pins, crawling the skin
holding within, to restrain and hold on
living with a sense of purpose
(so much that can't hurt us)
breath it in deep, adjust and focus. carries on
a broken recording, skipping round the subject of the mind,
the path leads you down ... The Way ... AWAY
The worst enemy here is all my own
wearing you down, staring you down
if the cracked old mirror's to be believed
you'll never see the light of day
that you live for, The apprehesion
dreading something to live for
needles and pins, crawling the skin
holding within, to restrain and hold
living with a sense of purpose
(so much that can't hurt us)
breath it in deep, adjust and focus and carries on

Atlas Down

atlas down
blank - staring into space, selling souls and dreaming of the end
choices made and falling down this is how we get back up
scratching the surface - i'm climbing at the walls
feed these bad habits - i'm breaking brand new skin
Nothing but emptyness wrecking the soul suffer in silence no more
you are not alone in holding yourself to account in the void
mocking and leading you on, this is not the end, its right there
staring right back you had nothing to prove
fighting the urge to give in, this is when, we stand back up
for today, holding fast, tightened grip on this reality
decending, i'm sinking, emptiness wrecking my soul, you never know
starving gnawing tearing flesh from bone
carving names and making this my own
this is where i found my home
incarcerated inside of my head, withering purgatory
this is where i found my home
blackness falls upon the fields, barren are their needs
creative souls fall by the wayside, listen as they bleed
silent scream, they beg for mercy, preying not to drown
tired arms that hold the answer, weighing atlas down
hungry for aquired habit, dying for their art
sanguine dreams pale into nothing, heavy is the heart
leaden is the air around them, vultures circle round
ashen is the search for meaning, weighing atlas down
decending, i'm sinking, emptiness wrecking my soul, you never know
starving gnawing tearing flesh from bone
carving names and making this my own
this is where i found my home
incarcerated inside of my head, withering purgatory
this is where i found my home
breaking the cycle, cutting the chains, fighting resistance
facing yourself and the choices you've made
steadfast, the weight of the world
YOU'RE NOT ALONE
owning the path, yes we've been here before
standing straight up to the fight
YOU'RE NOT ALONE
This is our Home, This is our family
never forgot who you are
YOU, ARE NOT ALONE

Bleed the Sky

Bleed the Sky
we cannot walk this path, erase the growing shadows
time to start anew
disease in dispair for us, not much hope for the conscious
pernicious landscape, the fear of losing ground
going without, waves crashing down, cant bare the sound of silence
so here we are, stand in the darkness upon the cliff edge
falling, for newspeak, numb to suffering
bleed the sky upon us all, with burning eyes
they wait for us to fall, its all for one, and none for all
but we wont fall, we'll start anew
surrounded by all exits, trapped inside with no escape
is this a pennance for that which haunts us
like a half remembered dream, or a long forgotten past
the pride before the fall, what shall be no more
fear of losing ground, going without, crashing down
bleed the sky upon us all, with burning eyes
they wait for us to fall, its all for one, and none for all
but we wont fall, we'll start anew
so now the veil is lifted
you turned your back on your fellow man
and the fools that followed
the warning signs were right there
but did you try to read them?
this willful ignorance, at best a weakness
these petty beings that we are
gone in a blink of an eye
look down upon thee and
cry in dispair
choose now or soon be chosen
extinction eventual
no empire lives forever
no empire lives forever
but we won't fall, we'll start a-new
bleed the sky upon us all, with burning eyes
they wait for us to fall, its all for one, and none for all
but we wont fall, we'll start anew

Hollow Heart

Hollow Heart
smoke, is in the air
the city is burning again
malcontent, in the culture
the class is systematic
torn, the rock and hard place
the homestead turning sour
a sickley taste on the tongue
consume and all devoured
With poisened words and a hollow heart
We face another day..
A thought for the world
That's been torn apart
We evolve or we decay
fake, you'll hear them scream
begging for all what they demand
they know not what they do now
the rot is setting in
heads turned in all directions
these neoteric trends
no one cares, no one listens
corrupted by their own ends
so we all fall down ...
With poisoned words and a hollow heart
We face another day..
A thought for the world
That's been torn apart
We evolve or we decay
with envious eyes
blame those with the least
the working classes stand defeated
why? we know the reason
tempted, by new distractions
Human, a tribal nature
kill ... or be killed
With poisened words and a hollow heart
We face another day..
A thought for the world
That's been torn apart
We evolve or we decay
living the dream, or living the lie
nobody cares if it’s wrong or right
living the dream, or living the lie
nobody cares if we live or die

Traitorous
so, so sick and tired.
this again, yeah it's nothing new
wake up, a lucid dream and i ...
i cant hold on
a vacant stare watching the whole world go by
all that is going to the dogs and their fighting at the door
breaking - this trend - for hate - again and again
if only you could hear, the. traitor. thats. inside
controlling, a war inside the home
its where you feel unknown. alone.
so Lets pretend, im better off this way
wasting all the days
wasting away
all said and done
just like you know it was before
all said and done, just like before
all said and done like you know it was before
just giving ups so easy when there's nothing left to lose
stand up and fight, this one they've heard it before
it's only you that can hear the. traitor. thats. inside
controlling, a war inside the home
its where you feel unknown. alone
so Lets pretend, im better off this way
wasting all the days
wasting away
controlling, a war inside your head
this is where feel unknown. slow death
Lets pretend, i'm better off this way
wasting away days - always
controlling war inside the home
this is where you will feel unknown
its better off this way
waste all the days away
now you're alone

The Line
plastic paper trails and payment, flying off the rails
burning through it all to keep warm, hammering the nails
this damned life, planting you down to the floor where you land
graves of trees, cracks in the pavement, now watch where you stand
don't. miss. out. don't miss out,
sale of the century - oh it wont last
no, space to grow - no place i know
step free from the line that you walk
step out of the world that you know
breaking the cycles and chains, its not who we're meant to be
step free from the line that you walk
step out of the world that you know
a trip to the other side, is this how the others live?
step free from the line
cant see the wood for the forest - you wont live
trashed, packed down and buried, boxed into your own
landfill existence no rest for the low life
sold out, where did they go?, now, when
are the doors closing and cleansing the air, hold your tongue
walking along lets them know that you're there.
don't. miss. out. dont miss out
sale of the century - oh it wont last
no, space to grow - no, place i know
[chorus]
with hope in my heart, dreams in my fist
praying to those that i know don't exist
believing the voices , that tell me i'm wrong
damning them all, because it is now time to be free
stepping away from the line
with hope in my heart, and dreams in my fist
taking each day like a line from a list
reading my story like a tragedy
holding on tight while we find our own way to be free
stepping away from the line
no, space to grow
its been too long
suffering through all the silence i've wrought
this changes the day
start anew, plant the seeds of a change
this wont be the same

Kayfabe
self obsession for connection play it how you want
like the idea of your influence, reaching for the stars
aligning in front of the mirror, fairest of them all?
maybe that was you, waiting for the fall
tell them your name, pay into fame
sell your angle, confirmation of their bias
say it again like you mean it
watch - now the tables turn as youre climbing to nowhere
watch - as you crash and burn and no one fucking cares
how do you live like this?
with no meaningful way to exist
so buried in the lies that you tell world, watch the tables turn
as you crash and burn, as you crash and burn
You're hiding yourself in plain sight, a character, for the stage
holding profile over substance, fly into the lights
so you said that you were such a good fit, but didnt care what for
talking of a show, selling off, selling out so
tell them your name, pay into fame
sell your angle, confirmation of their bias
say it again like you mean it
its written in your face, clear as day
but i dont think you know
Buried in your lies, kayfabe is your lie
how do you live like this?
with no meaningful way to exist
so buried in the lies that you tell world, watch the tables turn
as you crash and burn, as you crash and burn
watch as you crash and burn
watch as you crash and burn
watch as you crash and burn
now, you are the victim
how the tables turned
is it like you thought?
access to anxiety
now showing your fear of missing out
of social currency
buying into fame
selling off, selling out yourself
