- Bound
there's always a cage in search of a bird
we're chained
bound by a choice, betrayed by our words
we're framed
like rats in a lab, behave for rewards
we're trained
and your thumb's up your ass
as you wait for a change
- incubation
Another promise sinking
A fleeting thought
Twist the knife slowly
It's almost done
I don't want to get down
On my knees today
After all this time
Do I still have to beg
- Independence Day
I live in the shadows of cleptocrats
and brothels on pennsylvania ave.
with children of the leviathan
out for blood, whatever it takes to win
so let's face it
many don't mind another whitewash
'cause they sure love the hegemony
- No Saints Allowed
No saints allowed in the peep show
No saints allowed in the neon glow
No saint but me
Her halo appears when the light shines through
When you look into the peep show
It looks into you
But not me
- Red Lines
he catalyst that we can't talk about
when our eyes turn to glass
and the walls start to come down
one night on the floor
one night against the wall
everytime tracking the cracks in my skull
we've spun on red lines
- Strained
The blood has dried, the time has passed,
With our devices, built to last,
Somehow, someway, we just keep going...
So afraid, so strained, crushed by,
The weight, of the world,
Somehow, I just keep going,
Like tore-up ragged toys,
- The Thirst
She's lashed to the mast
And me to the helm
I'm screaming prayers and curses
She looks underwhelmed
Her mouth is dry with thirst
She'll drink until she bursts… with heroin
We used to build castles
