Collective Action

Reduced us down to atoms
Prohibited to coalesce
Behind the problems of our age
Told us not to sweat
Monetize our every move
Pit us against one another
Create a custom world
Meant for whatever you druther
Placated by distractions
For Me, Myself, and I
There's a method to their madness
They don't want us to be unified
Don't Go It Alone
We have the numbers to make our mark
It's One For All and All for one
Let Us Take Collective Action
A metaphysical madhouse, designed for isolation
So interconnected, yet completely separated
We played right into their crooked game
Our society is fucked and I fucking hate it
Don't Go It Alone
We have the numbers to make our mark
It's One For All and All for one
Let us Take Collective Action

All my life been told to conform
Society mandates we follow their norms
So I broke away, carved by own path
Dedicated to the core, theres no turning back
Purportedly value the freedom of self
That lofty ideal put back on the shelf
Be true to yourself at your own risk
Start towing the line or they'll get pissed
Ideals are what fuel this flame
Why we pledge to go against the grain
Our identities don't need to be the same
Do whatever it takes to remain untamed
There's an old saying that's true to this day
Keep your mouth shut if you've got nothing good to say

Draw Your Lines

Existence on this earth is rough
Debts are paid, decisions will be made suffering will ensue
You can't choose what happens in this life
But it's your choice whether or not to continue
Draw your lines
Stake your claim
Only you
Live with your pain
Only you
Can know your hurt
Build your walls
Know your worth
Hatred burns inside you
It feels like there's nothing left
I promise you, this is not the end
Find a purpose within your (fucking) self

Anything and Everything, all up in the air
Fixated on what will become of what our heart bears
So little time when theres so much yet to come
With each passing second, whats done could be undone
Here and Now; we only get one chance
Here and Now; take an affirmative stance
Here and Now; so we can advance
Here and Now!
Relics of a bygone era are destoryed or preserved
History can't repeat itself except for lessons we have yet to learn
Some things are better off left in the past
No reason to recreate a moment that wasn't built to last
Here and Now; we only get one chance
Here and Now; take an affirmative stance
Here and Now; so we can advance
Here and Now!
Grounded in the ashes of what we clung to
Keep your eyes on the prize and create something new

Something happened
It made you change
Something fucked
Can you explain?
So tough, so brave
So you fight
Hate called ignorance
Hindered your sights
Something missing
In your eyes
Something hateful
Made you blind
So tough, so brave
So you fight
Hate called ignorance
Hindered your sights
Your fucking sight, man
Times change
And people change
There's so many things
Nothing seems the same
All the things you do
I feel sorry for you
Don't hear a word I've said
You better use your head
Someone's mind
Made this hate
Someone's mind
Forced this pain
So tough, so brave
So you fight
Hate called ignorance
Hindered your sights
