Instinct to 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? (x4) The lust denies the need (x5) Existence is the steady flow, The moulded image grows No care, 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? 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 peace syringed A glimpse into genocide My own emotions, a million strong A heart so full of emptiness Ripe for the Breaking ...You weren't born with the world falling at your feet The path is long sad 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 ponder to meet the agenda Scavengers start to gather Perverse visionaries taste the father The just rewards in controlled rebellion Tossed and probed like a gristly peace of meat Jock, 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 savaged, you take the final bow, The creative demonner shattered into a million pieces You're ripe for the breaking 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 Demo our mistakes Fixation blinds The pain of knowing The truth beyond... (repeat chorus x2) Unprepared A generous display Perhaps a replay Self-inflicted Reduced to nothing My piece of mind seduced Unworthiness The scars never heal... (repeat chorus) 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 My Own Worst Enemy Played out, wide off the mark Genie develops Skin to fiction More then in a world of fact My own worst enemy My own worst enemy Lifes feel treachery My own worst enemy Dams of emotion build A dull and turbid scream Cloudlike veils of black In fungles of hopes oppressed (repeat chorus) So many times, For no reason So many promised punches For what reason? Ceaseless decay Parallel obscene and flagreaf Ceaseless decay Restrained my mind cells So many times, For no reason So many promised punches For what reason? Ceaseless decay Parallel obscene and flagreaf Ceaseless decay Restrained my mind cells (repeat verses 3 & 4) (repeat verse 1 and chorus) Just Rewards I lived for the moment I grabbed hold and I didn't relent (the) skin of my teeth Holds me 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 spells of the toils are spent Where is the right place? Where is the right place, right time? If the face fits, wear it Faces lit 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 sunctimenious tides Down not our - just rewards! Looping tracks - just rewards! Stunted growth - just rewards! Dwindling hope - just rewards! Dogma Innocence- A painful reminiscence Of what was not And will never be Meant not for me An unjust war On the futile Bludgeaning 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 Bludgeaning my affection (wide open) Cries of overkill Regenerate a healing cathersis That bursts, meaningless Regenerate a healing cathersis That bursts, meaningless Gracefull - a selfish will The chilling thrill A play on the nerves to end 'all serves' As ponnace To a man's drying tear We fear hot deny ourselves 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 weigh 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? Beckoning so 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 graps - slip our grasp! Chasing tails without the basic facts Choose full pain, voilate, make the grade Text wires frey, 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 graps - slip our grasp! Chasing tails without the basic facts Diatribes Bite the bit, scream till you're blue in the face Rice pipe dreams of pession revolution? Feet soldiers With weapons of placards and bonners How will they stop the ret? No standing to reason 'couse season is treason It doesn't seem feasible Lie down And cry all you can The machine sells over you It just doesn't feasible - no! Black face to next - try pleading to sifinity Hands up, beat in, shattering the pursive dream But is it right to tolerate this fucked democratic process? Shattering the pursive 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 pursive dream? Placate, Sedate, Eradicate Lead the burden across my shoulders Pour the effiment on thick Placate, sedate, eradicate Am I worthy to carry the weight? Wage a war on my prone feelings Annesthetised and numb Placate, sedate, eradicate Strangely calm when I should be enraged Placate, sedate Placate, sedate Eradicate Don't befriend the silver scream As long as others face firing lines Reclise, relax take it in your stride Be the voyeur Tamed by rabid ontectuiners Engressed is rent life hell Placate, sedate, eradicate Only observing - I'm exempt 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, seathing dread My pressure defences melting away With anxiety I'm burning!
