Breach 02:58
May I strongly suggest we review our initiatives? We’re like dead animals on the side of the road being crushed by a million cars until our organs fall apart Guess what? It’s not that compelling when there’s so much injustice everyday Our decay - their control. We’re still just kids, get a spanking when we disobey So breach out All your efforts were so damn well intended Breach out there’s lack of recognition in this fight When alternatives ain’t far away It’s getting pretty hard to turn our heads the other way But we’re battle-born now DIY is game and we should play Guess what? It’s not that compelling when there’s so much injustice everyday Our decay - their control. Were still just kids get a spanking when we disobey So breach out All your efforts were so damn well intended Breach out Majorities are breaking bad inside When alternatives ain’t far away it’s getting pretty hard to turn our heads the other way But we’re battle-born now DIY is game and we should play And damned we should play Yeah we’ll find a way

Is making profit all that matters out there? Feel like a child screaming this is no fair Overlooking all the consequences don’t care And it’s so attractive to be unaware Or are we gonna bash it in? ‘Cause your protection, their responsibility Both won’t be found in companies or creeps you vote for ‘Cause the insurance, food and health care industry Build systems where improvements just ensure we’re going nowhere GPS advertisement just took over Your pants are down and they bend you over Genetic vegetables a fierce maneuver Our policy excess: their four leaf clover All the information makes me so hungover But we’ll flush it out, no nine to five mentality ‘Cause your protection their responsibility Both won’t be found in companies or creeps you vote for ‘Cause the insurance, food and health care industry Build systems where improvements just ensure we’re going nowhere

Prodigy 03:00
While he’s searching what its all about A million choices, nothing’s standing out And now the turmoil keeps him up at night Cash and student in, debt and graduate out But education should be curiosity It’s always asking why and finding your own prodigy He’s got a closet full of paradigms They will never see the light of day ‘Cause the door stays closed They just let him drown Text books have bogged him down He doesn’t know where he’ll belong now But education should be curiosity It’s always asking why and finding your own prodigy So let him wake up when its making sense a little more And he knows when it’s fucking wrong and all the concepts of what its based on So when he drops out and shakes off all the chains he’ll scream yolo Let him sail into the great unknown
4.
Escape 02:49
Sick commercials on a frantic screen And it feels like your whole life is like watching the fast and the furious number six: it ain’t easy, as dumb and pointless as five Buy a million likes, this world is all about appearance but it’s alright Reveal the bullshit, strip the lie And never give up the fight (so long) If I can never escape (hangin on) Or rearrange (control) The cover ups and the chaos, our instincts will lead the way We’ll never give up the fight If I can never escape Or rearrange We are experienced enough to know when it ain’t honesty If I can never escape Or rearrange the cover-ups and the chaos, our instincts will lead the way Less work and more play

Collateral 03:53
Every time you point one finger at someone realize three are pointed at yourself (but what does your thumb point at?) Expectation mostly causes demise, sweeps relations off the shelf The taxes feed the troops and the disgrace that destroys environment Nature decides how it prosecutes this case until we give a shit but then it´s Too late to blame it on a generation dead and buried mocked and gone Re-elect a monster, blame someone How could we ever know The information was on google but the wifi’s slow Now reproduce in millions, educate them all Our offspring’s welfare will be used as our collateral Every time you point one finger at someone realize three are pointed at yourself Expectation mostly causes demise, sweeps relations off the shelf And too late to blame it on a government you voted for yourself All the information was right there How could we ever know The information was on google but the wifi’s slow Now reproduce ourselves in millions let them take the fall Our offspring’s welfare will be used as our collateral

Side Effects 04:22
There's killers on the loose in this neighbourhood, so keep your doors locked tight Hide all your jewelry in cardboard containers and start killing all the lights Then watch the darkest night fall over us and see them sweeping in The only thing that can save you now is accepting you will never win So I'll just close my eyes and throw down all the best cards up my sleeve Cause my loss aversion had 15 years to affect what I achieve I won't be settling anymore now Until everything is gone Gone until the break of dawn. Morning has broken and everything‘s different, Stare down the barrel of pearl handled pistols In violin cases and holsters of gold, they took us for a ride They took it all away last night, but a part of me returned Accepted loss, gained more. It was the best I ever really earned So I'll just close my eyes and throw down all the best cards up my sleeve Cause my loss aversion had 15 years to affect what I achieve But I won't be settling anymore now Until everything is gone Gone until the break And truth will be told, we're getting old We’re choosing pennies over gold And social decay, forgetting the only risks Are in the hands we fold And with our eyes set down the road Turn these yellow bricks to gold Am I aware enough to see the new reality?

Ignorance caught up with you, you made the fall All your believes were temporary bullshit after all Like a blind berzerker in a herd of monkey’s crashing into a wall You’ll never blame yourself and rather burn it down Now keep your thoughts at bay Unleash the beast in your head No delusion, it is the message we convey And throw it all away Don’t leave your options shattered Ain’t it obvious that your verve is in decay Cause your destructive narrow-minded believes are pestilence You’ll always shoot the opportunity to make it stop Forever hide your dreams, thoughts, fears..just scrape the cover off You’ll never blame yourself You rather burn it down Now keep your thoughts at bay Unleash the beast in your head No delusion, it is the message we convey Throw it all away You’re stuck in tunnel vision Until your life is displayed If you’re stuck in repetition, then break the rut ‘cause life won’t wait

On my own again As if I was unemployed but with good settlements. Too lazy to apply in this weak economy I must come off as deranged and juvenile, drowned. Push away and reconcile I should abduct all my friends ‘cause they all formed a family / stay home A “normal” life? It makes me wonder, but do I really wanna know? Enough with the demolition. I damn well know, can’t make it alone And I found out that most relationships are about the changes you make and letting go What am I holding on to ‘cause nothing’s the same anymore Now all the turbulence makes me sick but still makes me feel at home I fucking lost it again As if I am unemployed with decent settlements, too lazy to apply I should burn / simply destroy my escape plan blueprint 9/11 style Jaded by the loss after a while But the darkness will go away ‘cause I can turn the lights on It’s hard to give myself away ‘cause I’m all that I own I am all I own

Drive Away 03:54
This fucking disease is sweeping through our city's streets The street light halos are all I see But their bloodshot eyes are just too bright: they’re burning in my back I feel this whole town is preying on me I gotta get away from here now And I thought I was the one supposed to save you But I can't get through them no matter what I do So I burn all of their bridges down Get the hell out of this town See them burning in the rear view mirror and drive away. So I leave it behind, but I know I'll be back around someday To search the city, to try and find you As I walk around I realize, I can't turn back the clock I count my losses, and start the engine. I gotta get away from here now When I thought I was the one supposed to save you But I can't get through them no matter what I do So I burn all of their bridges down Get the hell out of this town See them burning in the rear view mirror and drive away. When I thought I was the one supposed to save you (so I just drive away from everything) But I can't get through them no matter what I do (And follow highways till the ocean blue) So I burn all of their bridges down Get the fuck out of this town See them burning in the rear view mirror and drive away.

Human Nature 03:10
Determined to raise your kids right Don’t practice what you preach inside Your household is a violent muppet show It’s like you woke up in an abandoned flight Expected someone by your side But feel like you are doing this alone Mother nature just wants to be left alone Genetic relapse started hundred years ago We procreate a lot but seem to fail in taking good care of our own Which will be passed on On welfare, addicted but kids seemed right You wanted to get up when they cried But got distracted by your mobile phone And did you ever give it a thought Apathetic reproduction from the start a course of nature or your own? The environment wants to be left alone Genetic relapse started hundred years ago We procreate a lot but seem to fail in taking good care of our own ‘Cause mother nature just wants to be left alone Genetic relapse started hundred years ago We procreate a lot but seem to fail in taking good care of our own Which will be passed on

How can you call this “your” country everyday? What did you do for it besides joining the N.R.A? How can you call this your homeland? It’s a stage in your own Broadway Your territory where just your kids may grow A piece of planet, why YOU own it still remains unknown How can you call this - like sitting shotgun in a van you drive alone You found confidence in borderlines and in labeling every race And now your source for hating immigrants and your fear keep up the pace Deep inside your narrow mind You’re gonna get another thing coming We’ll erase the border lines While the pole ice melts we watch the tides You’ll be the refugee How can you call this “your” country everyday? What did you do for it besides just being born in vein? How can you call this your homeland? It’s a stage in your own Broadway Your territory where just your kids may grow Where your ancestors killed a race so you can call it home How can you call this - like sitting shotgun in a van you drive alone We watch the tides You’re gonna get another thing coming You may open up your big surprise We’ll erase the border lines You’re the refugee You’re m.c.d.d You’re the leprosy of a better world We’re in your zone Now we’re all front row, staying seated, laughing at your show
