These man made morals, like perfectly paved sidewalks,
force direction and safety, as they watch us like hawks.
They teach us to walk with blinders,
like the horses they wish we were,
to carry their causes on our backs
without questioning what they're for.
We simply nod and agree, we are bred to be lazy.
They set the world on fire, and we are the gasoline.

We're a nation of expectations, entitled children who have more than most.
Gluttons with an insatiable greed who feel entitled to the wealth of their fathers ghost.
Our grasp surpassed by our reach. Our ends don't justify the means.
Copy and pasting what we're told, instead of thinking on our own.
There's no more common sense. There's only indifference.
Everyone wants a helping hand, but when the role is reversed we put our heads in the sand.
What has become of us? United in fear, divided by mistrust.
Taking what we feel we deserve. Motives hide like wolves in the herd.

You've lost the light, that I thought I had found.
Given up on the flight and settled to remain here on the ground.
Force comfort and rest. Adjust to unpleasantness.
You gave up on what you had.

You know that your greatest compromise weighs heavy in your eyes.
I can see that it's something you cannot hide.

These things that weigh you down, don't let them get the best of you, because we all have burdens to bear.
In the beginning it was only he would drink, until she told him she was going to leave.
Yet she forgave him every time, refused to judge him for his crime.
Just run away form those that hold you down. The longer you tread these waters, the more likely you will drown.
So find a way to shed these burdens that you've kept. You can't expect to move on until you take the first step.
Time only made things worse. The violence more commonly occurred.
Long sleeves in 100 degrees. Glasses hide the eyes she doesn't want to be seen.
Like brush strokes up her wrist, scars paint the tale of when she tried to leave it all behind.

Why don't we hush our voices and speak with our hips? Keep at bay these anxious lips.
Our intentions conveyed with these kissing palms. Traverse these curves, recite their psalms.
All traces of humanity have gone astray. Tonight we'll give in to our animal ways.
There won't be a witness, as the moon hides her face. Stars flee from the sky, as the night is disgraced and our innocence dies.
We get down to our most basic form, never as pure as the day we were born.
We can't control this carnal need, to go numb to the world, embrace this ancient deed.
Eager rays of the sun wish to cleanse the earth of all we've done.
To speak of love would leave a bitter taste. To offer more than lust would be a waste.

White knuckle grip on the world, and we're not letting go. Never living outside of the moment, we're young and out of control. We cut the strings and set ourselves free.
We are a dying breed. In debt to death, we live, and whether seconds or years we all pay, we'll pay in the end.
So we live at the edge just to see how close we can get, so when we're put in the ground we'll have no regrets.
We stand above the soil, because we're not finished yet.
Like the flame of a candle we live on borrowed time, so we burn quick and burn bright.
Youth is a commodity that you can't take to your grave. If you don't spend it all then it's taken away.
We cut the strings and set ourselves free. We are who we want to be.
In debt to death, we live, and whether seconds or years we all pay, we'll pay in the end.

Denial surrounds a naive boy,
as he plays in the field.
Precious time escapes him,
ignorant to what is real.
There's a thief in the shadows
waiting to breed.
To take away what is his,
to take from him what he needs.

Clench your fists, and grab on tight to the things that you hold true.
When there’s no one left to stand with it’s all that you can do.
Plant your feet in the dirt and look to those you love to keep you strong.
(This is our cry! This is our call!)
This is our anthem. This is our song!
We’re all we’ve got left, so stand up, so stand up, against everything.
You’ve gotta fight to see another day.
If this is hell than I don’t want to see those pearly gates,

You fed them your lies and you stole all their earnings away.
You made a market for those that want to be saved.
What you're doing isn't something new. Religion is an ancient form of revenue.
Your pockets fill as you betray their trust. Your gaudy cross encased in rust.
The needy starve while you take your fill. Eyes to the sky with your hand in the till.
You spread the plague while you sell the cure, a modern day zealot entrepreneur.
You take advantage of those who seek the help, by selling pardons from hell.
Your scripture says give up what you own, but yet you preach from a golden throne.

Welcome to the show.
Please don't look at me, I can't bear to show you what's underneath.
you wear a mask to shield us from who you really are.
It's no surprise they idolize you, they think it's true that you're a star.
You define your life by the beast that you project.
Oh, what a facade. No shame! No respect!
You're on the stage, you play out your part.
You're life's a party, but you've got no heart.

The shadows will lead us back
The silhouettes point to the west.!

I will not be kept from the life
That I was meant to lead.

Rah!

We'll drown him in his vices,
We'll hang him by his feet.
Mutiny...mutiny
We'll feed his body to the sea.

Well i've heard rumors that he's lost his way,
locked in his cabin where he drinks all day.
This ship, a coffin.

Look at my life, tell me what do you see.
Someone that's given up, or someone that still believes?
I find meaning in what you try to avoid. You've come to build it up, but I've come to destroy.
I go through life one day at a time. I'm at piece with the filth and the grime.
No possessions, but Ive seen the world. I smashed the oyster and found my own pearl.
We don't live for the future, and we aren't held back by our past, We are uncommon trash.
We don't live according to your plan. You can't judge what you don't understand.
You live your life in constant fear. We took a hammer to your standards. We don't need them here.

I’ve used your trust for target practice, and I used your lust to fulfill mine.
The buzzards pick at names I used to know, but my path is set and I will die
alone.
You should’ve ran me out when you had the chance, but now I’m here to stay.
The man in black said «Boy don’t take your guns to town» but I’ve never been
one to listen to reason, this heart, this act of treason.
I gave my soul to this steel, because the dead can feel no guilt.
Gave purpose to the lifeless, to fill what can’t be filled.
