How many times can you read the same book before the pages fall out? [The same old story for thousands of years, words poring out are burning these eyes] We’re so damn tired of reuse and repeat, Please tell us that we’re not alone! [The same damn story for thousands of years, words spewing out, burning these ears] (we dont die, we just influence, with our words) X2 (We’ll) (Do) (Our) Part (Best)

A man who's constantly cashing his check feeding those he'll live to regret while the books were left wordless an artist spoke up: "we've been stripped of all color!" a canvas corrupt they're a leach sucking into his head feeding every crumb left unfed the magic of being intact is that everyone leaves you alone catering to this nest infected (INFESTED UNITY) with eyes worn out to acceptance (INFESTED UNITY) father o father please tell us why the ground is all gone and with it the sky over and over.

Shootout 04:30
what's your take on matters above? you live a life of slow decay the stars have aligned and my minds set fire to every bridge that these hands have burned you kneel for safety and pain to be lifted but all i know is your wasting my time we drink to stay warm and bow to the alter but everything ends when its our time i'm quite sure there must be something more to this game of life we all play empty men preaching empty fucking thoughts and i know they're overwhelmed by those who think for themselves the misfortune of selling out to a body never found and when were sleeping who's watching you the eyes of our father or the eyes of the ignorant?

Wilderness 04:47
so i sit while my head catches up to the rest of my body a man i once knew just a shell of his former self who'd of thought i could grow up so loved and so proud but feel so alone? I'm just another victim of disputing parties with no means to an end, we are all infected. we were raised like wolves always fighting for alpha no permanent leader. No permanent growth It's sickening how you've thrown away all of us who you've held so fucking high as you mediate and mentor everyone on your right wrongs and wrong rights victims of abandonment thrown aside for a being that doesn't exist. these sick thoughts always lingering from the day i was born to the day i couldnt see no more and i'm done with my excuses always running from the facts: "he's never coming back home" and i'm never going out again I've known you my whole life a life filled with my regrets a life you've never gave a fuck about your ignorance is fucking bliss and yet my anger and my pride wont let me confess that you're worthless i'm too proud to confess that you're worthless.

Grudge 04:49
they ask, how'd you get so bitter? Don't you feel incomplete? It's a lesson learned that we're all one in the same try to be your best do as you will i wont forget open your eyes man (open your eyes) if there's one thing the book got right: It's look out for your brother. do as you will i wont forget open your eyes man (open your eyes) imitation is flattering (but resale is fraud) Skewing the words (from your so called god) do what you love but be your own man father can't pay for babies lack of demand dont walk tall knowing you stole from legends they spoke of creation, rebellion, progression respect what has been yet continue to push write your own chapter to get in this book (waaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhnnnnnnnn) save yourself (but it still doesnt help you) do as you will i wont forget open your eyes man (open your eyes) and now we know.

and it can be hard to swallow when your mouth is full of rotten words a man with high hopes sets sail on a sea of lost dreams deception waves of fallacy (heh) HEY YOU SIGN YOUR SOUL AWAY id carry this weight alone but these wavves (heh 2) have swallowed me whole There's safety in numbers (buying or selling) unwanted eyes look down on me (on every mountain that i have come to walk) to shiver in the cold (a false claim to acceptance) permits a life alone (for faded glory) and you shoveled it's path but ive chose to walk this tired road because this tree i've grown is growing on it's own but if left unwatched you'd burn down every fucking branch and if left unnoticed you'd sell the root to every seed. hey you sign your soul away and i guess it's human need to feed on other beings you've opened doors you cant close i guess the end begins and it can be hard to swallow when your mouth is full of rotten words and expiration claiming it's life at sea (and i've come to recognize) a bite to heal a salted wound (the shadow of the man behind it's greedy eyes) but i wont take my medicine (because it's children's Tylenol idiot) ill take my chances on the road ahead. as it's thoughts grow more extreme it's mind attracts that bitter green and i've come to recognize (cause i'd rather be fucking dead) the shadow of a man behind it's greedy eyes (then act in a play where the curtains never close) cause i wont take my medicine ill take my chances on the road ahead cause id rather be fucking dead than act in a play where the curtains never close (jahsgd jjjaue ooooasjhrf skdjfhskdfuuu hsd iiiek sdjfhsh sksdiek sldkfj skddkeei DECODE 7 skdjfhs ALERT sdkfjyy ffj4dj UVB jksdhfkjshf76 kjsdhfhh4d MAD)

Purgatory 02:44
This is the truth of us in pain. Trapped the prison, of our own brain. Plagued by a repertoire of mindless mistakes, a purgatory of regret, and passive ways. Trial and Error a fetish for serenity my curtins close and my lack of empathy The progressions closed my head held high i regret fucking nothing.

one in the same we live in that tree my mom shes a bitch so i say: FUCK YOU (womb fury)

captain oh captain were knee deep in water our fortunes ahead but were all going under and you've got alot to learn about seeing the world but youre speaking in tongues and i'm staring at the sea and im really scared it's big enough to eat us all and im really scared and we live with no regrets the ocean always has out back but only when the favors returned and im staring at the deck and im really fucking anxious there's a man with a suit on backwards and im really scared he keeps swimming into me just looking to get his fill just another victim of ocean foreplay you can run you can hide but your just killing time
