You're Nothing 06:43
lyrics
buy track
You can't change me no - I can't believe that you'd try You can't make me jump - I'll never ask you how high Why treat me like this - suppose you think I asked for it? Don't treat me like shit - don't believe their lies Stare deep into my eyes, what do you see. I hear your two faced lies, you can't touch me. I find it so amusing. You've no idea. How stupid you are to me. Insignificant. And then it happens you come to me with tears in your eyes Saying shit like "feel sorry for me" - another tasteless lie (YOU ARE) Piece of shit of society, you did me wrong now let me be One true friend controversy, just left you you're nothing Wasted time you've left me - right back at the start Don't act like a child - don't understand why you make it so hard Vicious words of angst - spite me to prove yourself Fucking hypocrite - you do what you blame me for You speak with tongues of fire Jump down my throat Abuse with screams of "liar" Your reasons are a joke I feel I need some space But then I miss you when you go away Can't seem to get your facts stright Ain't that the truth / insignificant And then it happens you come to me with tears in your eyes Saying shit like "feel sorry for me" - another tasteless lie (YOU ARE) Piece of shit of society, you did me wrong now let me be One true friend controversy, just left you you're nothing

No Sacrifice 07:27
lyrics
buy track
Shock and awe tactics bloodshed is everywhere As they add up the cost Your presence solidifies one guarantee Everything will be lost Punished for no crime A life that brings endless / eternal fear A saviour, there is not one Perish - needlessly here You all shall die! No sacrifice! You lived your life! But not today Anarchy from the skies, pouring acid rain Purity corrodes, good withers and dies Mass paranoia and disdain How much can you take? A life that brings eternal fear A saviour there is not one Perish, needlessly here You all shall die! No sacrifice! You lived your life! But not today Always the first to complain, always up for causing pain Playing your shitty music on the train, while innocent you remain

Here To Stay 04:49
lyrics
buy track
Got no time for less than sincere Meddling antics better not come near me I'm motoring on with the things that count Know just what I need there is no doubt To think that once, you were here The road ahead has never been so clear Life junkie hanging for it It's giving me the ultimate fix Achieving more and more every day Now that you're gone I'm here to stay Colourful road getting here today Tales of humour, love loss and play Now that I know where I should be I'm standing tall, no one can stop me You may expect my shit for free Weed out the weak - true friends support endlessly Life lover living it You'll never get me to submit Don't ever bother getting in my way One dream at a time, I'm here to stay

Eliminate 04:12
lyrics
buy track
Well I'll go through this life Just how I wanna be And I'll take on this life Full of positivity Maybe that's not in fashion Maybe that's not right now But while you're talking I'm doing In the end the latter counts What you think I should say What you think I should do What you think I should be Is precisely what you'll never see Against your scheming evil ways Against all the lies that you say Done with inconsiderates Egotistical ingrates (and) Fad chasing fickle drones I'll always walk alone All I can ever be Your nemesis eternally If you dare to rear your head I will subdue Continuing on this path I must see through Time is so short I can't give you your dues I'd like to but I'm focused on healthier avenues What I am about most will never see Not fueled by recognition or glory I'll never judge and I'll always be me Breaking through the middle consistently They don't want you to sing It's not a competition so they'll never tune in They don't want you to play While it'd be simpler if I did, I'll never go away (Fuck what you say) Now time for us to strike back Rallying for the attack Nothing can interrupt me We stand against - we are anti Now time for us to strike back Rallying for the attack On a mission to obliterate Cause mass extinction of what I hate Eliminate

Rebellion 07:53
lyrics
buy track
Very few can escape my reach Utter devastation I teach So strong I make my victims feel To the point where it seems so real The poison that cunningly Subtracts all good qualities Is everything the victim needs The obvious cannot be seen Add to the fast growing tally Self inspired calamity Violence, abuse, incoherency Hero's honesty Most addictive in existence Encouraged from adolescence Once abused now the abusee The next generation falls victim to me Beautiful mess taking hold of thee Lust for feeling free artificially Deep down I know you're crushing me But a way out I do not see My rebellion grows The truths are known But some can't be shown This one you'll never own It's all about breaking the patterns Focusing on what really matters Time for excuses gone, before evil has won Those bad habits you gotta shatter So many things that will be missed Lost opportunity from self imposed sick We gotta make it count, while we are still around It's time to stand up and be counted
