Hellscape 02:24
Nothing can take my mind off of this pain Realize that this life is vain Emptiness everywhere you turn Nowhere to run every bridge burned Escape a hell where Your thoughts betray your will Run from the flames But you got nowhere to turn Every bridge BURNED stuck here to bleed out BLEED Move forward, can't stop running for your life Nothing seems to make sense anymore My pain is worthless; others suffer more Hide the hurt, swallow your tongue Don't turn to the blade, that decision is wrong Escape a hell where Your thoughts betray your will Run from the flames But you got nowhere to turn Every bridge BURNED stuck here to bleed out BLEED Move forward, can't stop running for your life Take a look in the mirror, and you'll see where you're heading Falling down faster than hell fire turns you into dust BURN Burning Bleeding Escape Hell And Find your own fucking way Don't wanna see another friend's life fade away

Fuck You 02:03
Why do take a stand against what you don't understand? Mind your own shit, shut up and save your fucking spit Fuck the shit you contrive, stay outta other people's lives Get the fuck away with your hate, intimacy you can't dictate NO You're a fucking disgrace Your threats of violence - feeding my rage Put you back into place It’s you who’s gotta fucking change What the fuck is threatening your masculinity? Better mind your own shit, shut up and save your fucking spit Fuck your hate, it’s a fucking stalemate Get the fuck away with your hate, feedom of love you can't dictate FUCK YOU You're a fucking disgrace Your threats of violence - feeding my rage Put you back into place It’s you who’s gotta fucking change YOU’RE - CHOKING ON - YOUR HATE You're running head first straight into a wall If other people's lives make you feel so small You better change your ways or you'll get stomped out Open your mind, you're running out of time

(Take a long hard look at how this place works The morbid relationship between power and money: Money ain’t power Dead bodies ain’t a reasonable price you motherfuckers, we’re running straight to the gates of hell and you ain’t doing shit to stop it, let me show what hell looks like...) WORLD STILL SICK Being forced To face reality At an age so young Diseased humanity Risk a gang robbery Stabbed for a twenty Or get your head smashed in You're on the wrong territory None can predict when their fate will be sealed THIS WORLD BLEEDS Will you be a victim of violence and greed? THIS WORLD BLEEDS Cast away into a sea of despair Life created, used and now depleted Work like machine, made from flesh System fail, all life defeated None can predict when their fate will be sealed THIS WORLD BLEEDS Will you be a victim of violence and greed? THIS WORLD BLEEDS While you break your back for a fistful of cash While all you dreams TURN TO ASH While the children are left out on their own Who the fuck will teach them RIGHT FROM WRONG WORLD. STILL. SICK.

Step outside of your own reality Society has always lacked equality Police targeting visible minorities And all that shit running on your tax money Culture of punishment Criminalize the innocent Forced into a cage with hardenend convicts Suffer or get on their side, learn new tricks Forget your guilt, give it the deep six Hunger for crime punishment can't fix Culture of punishment Criminalize the innocent Corrupt economy feeds itself from abuse We lock up the people, the wrongfully accused In a system based on exploitation Those in power steal from the population Choose between work or a life of crime Deprived from help the ill-fated... DECLINE
