I spent the sleepless nights of youth alive with madness With only concern for the truth, I walked this world alone Nothing could suffice this hateful heart of mine Be it blessing, or be it curse, to live with open eyes... From the ashes of awareness I can only rise
2.
Welcome to hell - life with open eyes Nails driven in with each cursed site IlImination exacts a painful price The less I have, the more I know Cliches never rang so true There are daggers in the smiles of the men who build this world And I have reached the threshold of despair A pebble in the sea, why do I fucking care? Through all my screams for change, all I've found is pain I long to slit the throats of those who choose to choke To walk among the fallen angels and their long forgotten plans To stand entirely alone Filled with purpose and desire, unlike those human shells Even angels must endure their own hidden hells So we push on through the devastation Complacently as slaves to our creation Why would you run in place if you could set the pace? It's time to slit the throats of those who choose to choke... Bound by human nature Our minds tied to the human world Can we not see the madness unfurled? Drawn in quarters, torn between life and death, love and hate To die in slavery or rise and break the chains Face the flames

The Message 02:37
It's time to revive the idea Rekindle the spirit that brought us here To live in silence is to live in fear So I'll speak my mind loud and clear This voice could be the spark to ignite the silent masses Let us all behold each voice that is full of passion I know tomorrow isn't promised to me So I must break free from the fear of failure, the fear of death The fears that breed our complacent disease We are all faced with this choice: Escape or recreate To live in hell or rewrite out fate One voice, one fucking pen-- How I long to begin again and leave this goddamned world behind Fuck you all, I don't care if it's all been said before These are the thoughts plaguing my mind And I know you don't want to hear For fear the truth may set you free Then what will you do? what's your excuse? And then when it all comes crashing down And your gods are nowhere to be found What the fuck will you do? what's your excuse? Beyond the walls of this world you've come to know Of dead-end streets and needless suffering Awaits a message dying to be read: Look beyond this fucking scene It's time to revive the idea

The clouds They followed me to what felt like no end Bled dry through the days All my hope abandoned Perhaps I have nothing left to give but this voice of discontent And so I carry on... Embedded in anger, my soul finds nourishment In the wastelands of the world, I find my fertile ground Disillusioned with everything Nothing is what it fucking seems The only beauty that I've found is right here-- Underground Just like you I drag myself through this human hell A mere piece of the machine fighting for scraps of myself Sometimes I fear that there's not enough love in this world To save us from ourselves We thought love would save us from the perils of This fucking world But we bled through those nights when love weighed too much When love was not enough (it's not enough)... So here's to my saving grace... Empty parking lots at 2am And hating the world with the best of friends To the precious few whose hearts are fucking true, Those candles in the dark who saw me through: When the crowd has gone and the dust has cleared I would end it all if you weren't still here All I need is a place to sleep and moments that cannot be bought
