FAILURE
Let’s
create a new plateau of pain here
Where we can elate and calm
Drain out the bottom
I won’t rest ‘til I’m dead and not a moment before
There’s so much yet to do and I’m impatient
I’m working hard at remaining a failure
I get my jollies and kicks from a rock star dream
And I’ve convinced myself that it’s all I need
So when I smack my mic, I’m acting useless and cruel
You know it makes me feel just like I’m fucking you
Don’t you dare call me a failure
I’ll still be around long after you’re gone
Don’t you dare call me a failure
To drink King Cobras and smell like the homeless
Don’t you dare call me a failure
I’ll still be around long after you’re gone |

| SILHOUETTE
I
hate everything every thing that you’ve made
The rhythm is unrewarding in this solo act of bloodletting
I want retribution
I want truth in every fiber of your being
Cauterized wounds are the only souvenirs that I kept from you
Like this promise ring worn like a forgotten thing
Bearing down on me I’m not free to live my own life
And everything I’ve forsaken for you
It seems to me I’ve been mistaken towards you
Misspent trust, unprecedented abuse
If trophies will be handed out, they’ll all be going to you
And if I ever get my chance
I’m gonna bloody up my hands
And if you haven’t guessed I’m hard to impress
But you’re the best and I’m impressed with how you’re killing
me
The rhythm is unrewarding in this solo act of bloodletting
I want retribution
I want truth in every fiber of your being
To see through scars
Of my eye’s only sore:
A burned silhouette
Of the dream we’d shared
If only for a while (though it was only for a while)
I’d never want it less
A burned silhouette of you
I can’t believe you when you say that you don’t understand
I couldn’t make this any clearer if I explained it with my hands
I couldn’t make this any clearer if I drew you a fucking map
The answer is “no”
To see through scars
Of my eye’s only sore:
A burned silhouette
Of the dream we had shared
If only for a while
A burned silhouette of you |

EASY
ANSWERS
The
easy answers won’t help us here
The easy answers never come too easily
What?
Why?
What did you think I’d become when you stopped calling me “son”?
What did you think you’d create by feeding me only hate, your hate, hate?
Hate! Hate!
You made rules to make sure
You made rules to make sure that I deserve this.

DEMORALIZED
Break
this shit off right here I can’t adhere
To this bullshit regime that you’ve made clear
There’s a stink of insurgence in the air
And when it hits I want to be there
And shout along to the beat of our own drum
Take to the streets when the revolution comes
“We are one!
And won’t be undone!”
We will not fall or be the ones you crawl to
To try to squeeze myself into your scene is futility
And I don’t see the point
And everything you ever offered me was never free and never what I want
To hollow sound and through
To find that everything I knew
Was worse than I ever thought at first
‘cause it was startlingly true
The “right” is wrong!
Wrong, wrong, wrong!
Here’s a little suggestion, provocative question:
Have you ever heard of The Inquisition?
A witch-hunt held in the name of the Lord the likes of which never seen before?
We will not fall or be the ones you crawl to
“Go forth and stake your claim,” I told you
“Go forth and carve your name on anything that moves” |

HURT
(a nasty side effect of breathing)
Don’t turn around, now, ‘cause I’m right behind you
And quickly gaining speed
This is what you’ll get when you forget about me
I’m like a child’s toy submerged in water
That grows to three times its size
And getting stronger than you possibly could realize
I won’t invest too much time in you
I won’t invest more care than I can spare
Corporate resolve: consuming all
There will not be a hole you can call your own
To flex the strength you’ve been privy to
Is all the penance we could possibly ask of you
To fall and be reborn and die again is all there is
You haven’t heard a single word I’ve said in all of this
If there’s a lesson to be learned in life
It’s if it doesn’t hurt, you’re not doing it right
Come on!
Just to have strength is not enough
Unless you flex what you’ve been taught
Help the weak to get through it all
Do you not plan to heed the call?
Call?
Call?
Call? |
