lyrics

save me. I’m drowning in the entertainment
well I’d rather be bored than witness this façade
deafen me. you’re far too loud
I can’t stand the sound
and do the words have any meaning now?

Fuck your judgment.

savor my name. take advantage of what you’ve been given
well I don’t believe a thing they said since the fucking beginning
we’re force fed an acquired taste

another secret they’ve hidden from view
another lie we see right through.
don't let them play us for a fool
this is the death of me not you

(FT Taylor Huston of Field Day)
in all the time that you’ve been wasting, we were picking up the pieces
trying to fit them into places they could be accommodated
if they want to say fuck the system, they can go and build their own one then
they say freedom don’t come free, we say at least not without pain


silence is a self inflicted gift we were never ever born with
good lives have been lost to seal this fate.
and I’m counting down the days
until the reaper comes for me

shred, fight, lose.

no freedom without pain
we choose to choke upon the shit we create

bleed. throw is away. lay to waste
the innocence we still possess
suffering silently

simple minds and simple lives will always settle for less
and try to blame it on the ones above them like there’s no hope left
I try to believe that when it comes to me I’ve got a choice in this
I’m painfully free, my own fate.
