Pariah 02:34
Why are you so miserable? Why do you hate everyone? You're not the only one that feels ashamed (You're not alone) Everybody's an outcast in their own way Forgive and forget Everybody decides how much sin they can live with (how much sin can you live with?) But your body count is so damn sickening So tear out the pages left to read in your little black book Life is too short to be so damn pissed off all the time So drop the gun and join us in the light

Spitting rhymes or hitting vibratos It doesn't matter as long as you've got 'em Any congregation that satisfies you Any asshole'll always try to evacuate them (evacuate) Don't give them a fucking inch Don't run away from your voice, you're better than that Shattered eardrums is evidence of some god True evil dwells in silence, revels in its emptiness Become the decibels Speak with your ears There is a message in all of our heads That if we went deaf we would rather be dead They'll be glad not to hear you scream When you're forever in debt to the fucking soil Every note is a fucking blessing Only silence is pure abjectness The war on words, nonsensical There's only freedom in speech

Meat 02:35
Trapped in a world built like a cage Founded by predators in seven days We are the prey, we are the prey The pigs are quiet, have no words to say Feel the acid rain dripping down from lying airwaves The cranes are building up an empire hellbent on dragging us in The planet is turning into an endless cycle of things getting old It's getting old but no-one is getting tired at all Our meat is all they want The war will never end Our meat is all they want Punk rock won't save your life I know it's only rock and roll but I fucking hate it We all end up as dirt What's in it for me?

Face the facts, you haven't gone far enough deep inside your mind and out into the world Reach new horizons Don't ever stray from that path Your mind is forcing you to escape the clutches of your home Breath all kinds of air Let the clarity pierce your lungs Don't tread on ocean waters Don't drown in shallow standards You've got more than time to lose, man You've got more than time to lose Well I never knew the world could be so beautiful The constant smell of sweat and shit is making me fucking sick of sitting here and waiting for my life to end up in a hole I can't dig myself out of The sky has no limit for me Neither does the soil beneath my feet When all I do is look ahead I'll make my life, flash before my eyes But I've seen so much, that it will take twice as long

Progress 02:07
A shining light that has seemed to fade has given up on providing guidance Everything we thought we knew as kids Into a black abyss But for some there's still hope out there, a reason to believe Well you gotta believe in something As long as it brings you peace Turning my back creates a pain that I can't stomach It'll dig even deeper 'til my guts are on the floor and I can't feel a single fucking thing anymore I have achieved healthy progress I'll tear out the pages left to read I don't need them anymore
6.
Pages 05:00
The grass is always green but I can't feed this craving I've led a great life but still there is something missing A sense of security, a sense of comfort It feels like the world is stepping on my neck It's not what I had in mind, It's not what I had in mind My skies are never cloudy, my eyes are always closed My skies are never cloudy but still I'm searching for gold I tore out the pages left to read Never realized I needed to know the ending There was no conclusion for miles and miles What the hell is wrong with me? It's quite clear that I should be happy So I'll rewrite the whole thing In the end, it's my own story I burned those pages, they're gone Won't live like that anymore Turns out I didn't need the pages left to read

about

Quit living your life by the book. So many things can fuck you over and hurt you but the most important thing to do is to learn from them. If you keep the faith in your friends, music, your goals, what have you, on the same level as the faith you can have in yourself, if you can distance yourself a healthy amount from the things that hurt you while still learning from them, you can create your own path and stop walking down the one made for you by other people. You can grant yourself absolution. You can tear out the pages left to read and write your own ending.
