1. Greed Killing
The wrong time, the wrong place,our smiling face of distrust.
Buried, the seed
deep in all our heads.
Prepared ourselves for the fall.
The greed killing !
Instinct of mistrust,
instinct - the lust.
Their butchery of feelings,
geared for the
greed killing.
The greed killing !
Not now, then when ?
Not now, then when ?
When ?
The lust denies the need.
Existence is a steady flow,
the moulded image grows.
No core, no faith in what you are,
the pressure builds
right from the start.
Could it be just sour grapes ?
Or have we failed
to fit their shape ?
It's always give, and never take.
How much more can we give ?
How much more can we take ?
2. Glimpse Into Genocide
Blindness leading,which one of me is real ?
Through corridors of uncertainty -
a force without form.
I've dug a hole so deep,
full of the shit of compromise.
For once can't I keep
pain on the outside.
Adapt.
Take on release.
Others.
Thoughts infringed.
Adapt.
Take on release.
A life -
On pause syringed.
A glimpse into genocide.
My own emotions,
a million strong.
A heart so full of emptiness-
none of them belong.
3. Ripe For The Breaking
...you weren't born with the worldfalling at your feet -
The path is long and agonizing
being dragged on your knees.
...and the silver spoon in your mouth
tastes spoilt with rust.
When all that glitters isn't gold
and fortunes turn to dust.
You're prime for the raping.
And when you don't pander
to meet the agenda,
scavengers
start to gather.
Perverse visionaries taste the lather ;
the just rewards in controlled rebellion.
Tossed and probed like
a gristly piece of meat,
lock, stock, and barrel slave.
You just don't
contradict Big Brother ;
he's got the right to push you under.
...and they pledge you the earth,
then pull you six feet down.
And you're branded with the stigma ;
unusable dropouts.
...and with inspiration ravaged,
you take the final bow,
The creative demeanor
shattered into a million pieces.
You're ripe for the breaking.
4. Cursed To Crawl
A fragile peace that exists inside.A frame so shallow,
so narrow-minded.
An open wound -
we run inside.
A raging turmoil.
Helplessness confides...
Cursed to crawl
for my pale and bleeding heart.
Cursed to crawl.
Pale and bleeding.
Enter this sphere,
commonplace,
borderline.
Between my rage,
between our hate,
damn our mistakes.
Fixation blinds.
The pain of knowing
the truth beyond...
Cursed to crawl
for my pale and bleeding heart.
Cursed to crawl.
Pale and bleeding.
Unprepared.
A gruesome display,
perhaps a replay -
self-inflicted.
Reduced to nothing,
my piece of mind seduced.
Unworthiness.
The scars never heal...
Cursed to crawl
for my pale and bleeding heart.
Cursed to crawl.
Pale and bleeding.
5. Cold Forgiveness
25 years severed,take it and like it,
feel like there's nothing more,
end of story.
Thirsty, despised,
real love destroys.
Hungry for anger.
Hungry for...anger.
The face behind the face.
Cold forgiveness meant not for me.
Race against time,
collapse.
Fall in line,
nothing is sacred.
Thirsty, despised,
real love destroys.
Hungry for anger.
Hungry for...anger.
The face behind the face.
Cold forgiveness meant not for me.
6. My Own Worst Enemy
Played out, wide off the mark,mania develops,
akin to fiction
more than to a world of fact.
My own worst enemy.
My own worst enemy.
Lifes foul treachery.
My own worst enemy.
Dams of emotion build
a dull and turbid screen,
cloudlike veils of black
in jungles of hopes oppressed.
So many times,
for no reason.
So many promised punches,
for what reason ?
Ceaseless decay,
parallel obscene and flagrant.
Ceaseless decay,
restrained my mind coils.
So many times,

My own worst enemy.

Lifes foul treachery.

7. Just Rewards
I lived for the moment.I grabbed hold
and I didn't relent (the) skin of my teeth,
holds no longer.
And now I come to claim
my just rewards.
Face down ! ground down with no recourse.
And now I come to claim
my just rewards.
The spoils of the toils are spent.
Where is the right place ?
Where is the right place, right time ?
If the face fits, we wear it.
Faces fit
while heart and soul slopes on.
Scraping through -
Just Rewards !
Dig the dirt -
Just Rewards !
Hold your ground -
Just Rewards !
Being sucked down -
Just Rewards !
Where is the right place ?
Where is the right place, right time ?
When you lay down on your own law,
you swim against the sanctimonious tides.
Down not out -
Just Rewards !
Looping tracks -
Just Rewards !
Stunted down -
Just Rewards !
Dwindling hope -
Just Rewards !
8. Dogma
Innocence -a painful reminiscence
of what was not
and will never be.
Meant not for me.
An unjust war
on the futile.
Bludgeoning my affection
(wide open)
cries of overkill.
Scraps of memories
flung from our master's table.
A plan I'm sure to disable.
Allegiance to none other.
Bludgeoning my affection
(wide open)
cries of overkill.
Regenerate a healing catharsis
that bursts, meaningless.
Regenerate a healing catharsis
that bursts, meaningless.
Graceful - a selfish will.
The chilling thrill,
a play on the nerves
to end " all serves ".
As penance
to a man's drying tear,
we leer but deny ourselves.
9. Take The Strain
Take the strain !Can you take it ?
Take the strain !
or even fake it ?
Take the strain !
Aren't we lucky
Take the strain !
to be breathing ?
Take the strain !
Are you the man in the next bed
without the tubes,
without the life support ?
Maybe the man
whose pockets
weight you down.
Take the strain !
Do you wear strife
Take the strain !
like a clown ?
Take the strain !
Or accumulate
Take the strain !
with a frown ?
Take the strain !
Are you the animal
that escapes the snares and traps ?
Bearing no quarry scars,
and the hunter's crown.
We were taught to follow leaders -
Follow leaders !
Never to challenge the singular pack.
The goals they set
slip the grasp -
Slip our grasp !
Chasing tails
without the basic facts.
Choose full pain, violate,
make the grade.
Taut wires fray,
electro-brain,
take the strain !
We were taught to follow leaders -
Follow leaders !
Never to challenge the singular pack.
The goals they set
slip the grasp -
Slip our grasp !
Chasing tails
without the basic facts.
10. Diatribes
Bite the bit,scream till you're blue in the face.
Nice pipe dreams
or passive revolution ?
Foot soldiers
with weapons of placards and banners.
How will they stop the rot ?
No standing to reason,
'cause reason is treason -
it doesn't seem feasible.
Lie down,
and cry all you can.
The machine rolls over you.
It just don't
seem feasible - No !
Black face to nazi -
try pleading affinity.
Hands up, boot in,
shattering the passive dream.
But is it right to tolerate
this fucked democratic process ? - No ! !
Shattering the passive dream.
Is it 'cause we like to hear
the sound of our own voice ?
Big-hearted diatribes,
just like my dilemma.
Time to return compliments,
shattering the passive dream ?
11. Placate, Sedate, Eradicate
Load the burden across my shoulders.Pour the effluent on thick.
Placate, sedate, eradicate.
Am I worthy to carry the weight ?
Wage a war
on my prone feelings,
anaesthetised and numb.
Placate, sedate, eradicate.
Strangely calm
when I should be enraged.
Placate, sedate.
Placate, sedate.
Eradicate.
Don't befriend
the silver screen,
as lons as others face firing lines.
Recline, relax
take it in your stride,
be the voyeur.
Tamed by rabid entertainers.
Engrossed in real life hell.
Placate, sedate, eradicate.
Only observing - I'm exempt.
12. Corrosive Elements
Staying on an even keel.Keeping a gauge.
Sanity hangs in the balance.
(I) could go
either way.
Cerebral half life.
The darkest Summer days.
My pressure defences
melting away.
'Cause I can't level this brimming,
seething dread.
My pressure defences
melting away.
With anxiety I'm burning !
Stripping down to the core.
Corrosive Elements,
Corrosive Elements inducing.
Corrosive Elements,
Corrosive Elements that sap being.
