1.
Husk 00:58
Like grain to flour, Ground to dust. The only way to sort meat from husk. Which form will I take? Will I find some use? Or is this all a waste?
2.
Rodent 00:24
Coward. Liar. Destruction Is aimed at you. I’ll swallow my pride And bide my time. But for the lying motherfucker that destroyed my life, Not a moment of peace. Not a second of ease. Just a rat motherfucker looking over his shoulder.
3.
Trapped 00:13
Trapped Between the gun and the dollar sign Living lives of their design. Strike back, Crush them all Fight for your life.
4.
How can you place yourself above them? You did nothing but slide out on the lucky side Of an invisible dividing line. Tear it down. If the roles were reversed, Can you say you wouldn’t do the same? If what stood between you and salvation, An arbitrary line in the sand? Tear it down. The end result of our exploitation and consumption- It makes life unbearable on the other side. You say “that’s just how it is,” But man it doesn’t have to be this way. No fences, no walls, no border, no flag. Free movement for all.

Compulsion 01:48
I want be everything you fear, Crush the power you hold into dust. I want to be everything you think I am, To bathe in your disgust. Don’t want to think. Don’t want to feel. Want to summon every ounce of hate in my veins And smash everything that I see. Unleash the monster you wish I was. Watch the fear creep across your face As you realize the power you hold Can’t free you from my grip. I know that’s what you want. Create the monsters you seek to cage. Caught in a cycle of your making. Recidivism equals capital gain. That’s what you want. System fueled by impotent rage. Caught in a cycle. Won’t get your hands on me again. I want to be everything you fear, Crush the power you hold into dust.

Where is truth when every word’s a fucking lie? Can’t fall victim to their thought control. They tell you what you want, they control consensus. Truth is in action. Fuck what they say, Watch what they do. Where is truth when every word’s a fucking lie? Can’t fall victim to their propaganda. They tell you what you need, it’s manipulation. Truth is in action. Fuck what they say, Watch what they do. It’s in action.
7.
Exit 01:46
I’m just so tired, Dragged down by an unseen weight. Worn down, I drag these hidden chains. Steeped in a pain that I can’t explain. When your world falls apart (every day) And you can’t make a move to save yourself How can you put that on anyone else? Theres no way to shift this weight. No fault, no one to blame. Worn down, Drowned out. When your world falls apart (every day) And you can’t make a move to save yourself. And when it feels so endless I’ll make my final exit. I make the drive to take the dive I feel the sun my back, Stare at the line where sea meets sky.
8.
No connection. Self rejection. I can’t care for you, I can’t care for myself. I retreat inside. I can’t push you away if I don’t let you in. Just let me be. Let me be nothing to no one. Just let me be. No connection, no destruction. I won’t be the source of anymore pain. A return to solitude.
9.
Conditional 01:02
You say I turned my back, But I’m not the one who caved. You crossed the line in search of approval. I think you know we were never the same. Make no mistake, This comes with conditions. You want blind support? You fucking know that’s not me. Question, challenge, improve Or what’s the point? I’ll ignore every jab for attention, Every desperate attempt to get in my head. Say you’re better off but you still need my approval. You can’t beg for respect.
10.
Crushed 01:57
They say “...no ethical consumption...” But we’ve all got to eat. We play their game, we sell our time. It’s voluntary exploitation We buy into their dream, but it’s always out of reach. We get crushed, We just get stepped on. Kept off balance, just a step behind We get crushed, We never had a chance. They write the rules, we can’t keep up. “The dollars I’ve saved aren’t worth the days that I’ve spent” While these dreams of peace and comfort That run through my head, They get crushed Again and again and again.
