through all the time you kept me tapped in your world you made me hate myself and all that I loved fear all that I ever loved within those years you taught me to fear and hate, you thought me broken, docile – slave to your whims set up to fall for your sins you ripped the pride from my chest made me forget to detest it’s time for you to fear me it’s time for you to fear me I feel your loss no longer as I am growing stronger it’s time for you to fear me it’s time for you to fear me hate what I am.but what I am – you made me fear what I am, but, what I am – you made me I have become I smell your fear and I want you to know right from the front you brought me into this world I will rip you from your world you broke my morality my kindness, my fragility see what’s left stands before you warped reflection before you I hate more than you can hate I now control my own fate you will bow down before me you will bow down before me you had a need to control my freedom, future, my soul you will bow down before me you will bow down before me hate what I am.but what I am – you made me fear what I am, but, what I am – you made me I have become was broken but now rebuilt and yet you still have no guilt made me in your own image reflection’s me – your image you did this all to yourself your hubris has become filth oh how the great have fallen mot far enough, you’ve fallen a hollow man you wanted once predator, now hunted you had a chance. It’s too late you had a choice. It’s too late I cut the strings that made me dance for you. Now I am free to become to become hate what I am.but what I am – you made me fear what I am, but, what I am – you made me I have become

Nobody Knows jBecause my eyes never show All the pain that they hold inside And I’ve never told The ideas that unfold When I talk to myself at night The bottle comes out and it fizzes open I poor myself a glass of my pain I know that in a moment I still won’t feel right But nothing will be wrong just the same He doesn’t mind Or regret how He makes ya feel sad inside And he doesn’t care If you never hear The words that may save your life The bottle comes out and it fizzes open I poor myself a glass of my pain I know that in a moment I still won’t feel right But nothing will be wrong just the same I always close My eyes real tight For fear that the dark is alive And if you escape Temptation in time Your one step ahead of mine The bottle comes out and it fizzes open I poor myself a glass of my pain I know that in a moment I still won’t feel right But nothing will be wrong just the same

Scorn 05:47
You are trying to deceive me now, but I am playing you game. You’re loves lost forlorn angel, and your searching for someone to shame. The threat of loneliness is what, you use to get your way. Deception, lies and mistrust are, all of you that still remains. Angry and alone with only hatred for my pain I still feel your venom flowing slowly through my veins. To make you feel the way I feel, this is what I’ve sworn.. I will make you know my scorn. Don’t try playing this game with me, WOMAN! You know you cannot win. And don’t think that your own shit doesn’t stink, it reeks of your bloody sins You use you flesh to ma-ni-pu-late, me to a slave of your skin You will wear my hate forever, as you’re trapped in the webs that you spin Angry and alone with only hatred for my pain I still feel your venom flowing slowly through my veins To make you feel the way I feel, this is what I’ve sworn I will make you know my scorn. You forced my hand and created your own scars you wear in shame You feel my wrath and you feel my hate, for me it was not a game. You believed that because you were, a woman on me you had claim You scorned me abecause you knew you could and I scorned you because of my pain. Angry and alone with only hatred for my pain I still feel your venom flowing slowly through my veins. To make you feel the way I feel, this is what I’ve sworn.. I will make you know my scorn.

Sitting alone here, behind an empty glass Looking down on me is there more I must ask Is there more to this life? I am fighting for my pride I rage I scream I hate I fight I will not quit until I fall I will not bow I still stand tall I am cut off all I wanted was more All is refused me in madness I roar Is there more to this life? I am fighting for my pride I rage I scream I hate I fight I will not quit until I fall I will not bow I still stand tall Eighty-sixed all alone in the street I am not done at the closed doors I scream Is there more to this life? I am fighting for my pride I rage I scream I hate I fight I will not quit until I fall I will not bow I still stand tall To hell with death and to hell with life To hell with me I cannot die You stole my pride and you ripped my heart This is why for I have fought

SLA 06:22
Standing screaming in my face, breaking down my walls You say that you’re my saving grace, that all the world should fall Dreaming of a broken world, and standing on your grave If we were to let chaos rule, no one would be saved. Screaming out your viscous words, where is their true meaning? Blind devotion is your crutch, and on it you are leaning People who scream out these words, know nothing of our lives If you don’t get just what you want, our freedom thus denied Savage, obsession, on us it ruled divine Mankind, Aggression, we’ve left that world behind To see you weeping in disgrace, when your wish is granted To know that it was you that caused, the pain your kin were handed When all your loved ones look at you, as all their homes are burning They’ll know your lack of vision caused, all their children hurting Screaming out your viscous words, where is their true meaning? Blind devotion is your crutch, and on it you are leaning People who scream out these words, know nothing of our lives If you don’t get just what you want, freedom is denied Savage, obsession, on us it ruled divine Mankind, Aggression, we’ve left that world behind You scream at me that your beliefs, are the written gospel Ignorance has made you blind, blindness made you hostile A thousand lies you tell yourself, you think you are insightful If your hatred has made you god, where are your disciples You are no more than a sheep, follow those who lead you Your leaders have betrayed us all, with the lies they feed you Your outcries of blinded faith leave us all in doubt If you don’t have a better way, Shut your bloody mouth Savage, obsession, on us it ruled divine Mankind, Aggression, we’ve left that world behind

I have been so lonely, can’t feel this bottle in my hand Tears glaze my cheeks in the mirror, sorrow dries my soul like sand Countless times I’ve mouthed the barrel, or gripped the pills in my hand But always I fail, oh lord I’m weak am I a man. In the evening, I chase my demons all away But in the morning, the face of one I can’t escape No passions left to fight onward, a better world if I die No sorrows for the living, for they are stronger than I And as I stand still, a shallow pulse beating slow. I hear the winds cry, and call me onward to my home. Through these years I have been fighting, to myself have I lied. Alone still I have only, my self to hold me when I cry. The time is here for me to make peace, as I listen to the rain. No more can I stand proudly, so now I die alone in vein. In the evening, I chase my demons all away But in the morning, the face of one I can’t escape And as I stand still, a shallow pulse beating slow. I hear the winds cry, and call me onward to my home.

Free 04:33
I am not afraid of what I am. And I am free I am free to do just what I’m told. But am I free? Free to slave to give the rich more wealth Still, I am free. We are all fed full of lies. Bullshit, I am not free. Freedom, but remember your freedom Freedom, but what’s left of your freedom Freedom, truth looking down on us Freedom, were we ever free at all. All of us are told that we are free. And we believe Free to stay inside our social class Yet we believe. Most of us are paid at just enough Just to survive Multi nationals have made us slaves Decide your lives Freedom, but remember your freedom Freedom, but what’s left of your freedom Freedom, truth looking down on us Freedom, were we ever free at all. Bring it down If we do not do just what we’re told Then we will starve If we don’t believe in what we’re told We’re behind bars. Poverty and prejudice are tools Used by the rich To keep us at each others throats so that - The rich stay rich. Freedom, but remember your freedom Freedom, but what’s left of your freedom Freedom, truth looking down on us Freedom, were we ever free at all. We are not free

For You 04:02
Stand beside the cliff and loose my mind Will I jump or will I run The setting sun is growing red in my eyes I want it over, I want it done I will leave you alone in this place I was there once, and found my hate for you Hit the wall now. Broken hands are mine I feel like fire running from the light She found it easier to give me lies I didn’t feel my heart begin to die I will leave you alone in this place I was there once, and found my hate for you

Slave... 03:43
again help me

I see the people stare and quickly look away I see their faces turn and some begin to pray Freedom of what to think, but no freedom to say Branded a traitor, for questioning the king Viewed as a leper, I won’t let myself be saved Kept from the village because they say I’m unclean My thought is a sickness and contagious to the free But you won’t recognize, there’s more demons like me I will not betray myself Keeping my thoughts in a cell Waist my freedom like you waist your freedom I see the people stare and quickly turn away I see their faces turn and some begin to pray Freedom of what to think, but no freedom to say Branded a traitor, for questioning the king I will not betray myself Keeping my thoughts in a cell Waist my freedom like you waist your freedom I will not betray myself Leper, Unclean Leper, Sickness Leper, Treason Leper, Freedom

Why don’t you join us in reality Dropped bombs on people’s heads won’t set them free This life is just a bridge in passing Can you pay the toll? I will not bleed Why do you listen to the fear and hate Control with violence - has become your fate This life is just a bridge in passing Can you pay the toll? I will not bleed I will not You bleed, we all bleed, and we all bleed red Your life is fallacy until we are dead This life is just a bridge in passing Can you pay the toll? I will not bleed
