We All Fall
01:40
|
|||
|
YOU WORKED YOUR WHOLE LIFE TO GET TO A POINT
STRUGGLE AND STRUGGLE WITH HOPE TO ENJOY IT
NO ONE IS IMMORTAL OR IMPENETRABLE
THE ENDING IS ALWAYS THE SAME. WE ALL FALL
PULLED AWAY THROUGH NO FAULT OF YOURS
GONE THROUGH YOUR FINGERS. NOTHING ENDURES
NO ONE IS IMMORTAL OR IMPENETRABLE
THE ENDING IS ALWAYS THE SAME - WE ALL FALL
YOU CAME FROM NOTHING TO RISE TO THE TOP
BUILDING AND BUILDING NO REASON TO STOP
YOU WORKED YOUR WHOLE LIFE, WHAT WAS THE POINT?
STRUGGLE AND STRUGGLE BUT DID YOU ENJOY IT?
LOOK AT YOU NOW - WATCHING IT SLIP
INTO YOUR REARVIEW - AND OUT OF YOUR GRIP

Invalidation
02:10
|
|||
|
THE FACE THAT YOU SEE IN MIRROR IS UNSTOPPABLE
THE WORLD IS YOURS - THERE FOR THE TAKING
NOT A THING ON YOUR LIST TO DO DIFFERENTLY
IT’S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME FOR THE PIECES TO FALL INTO PLACE
HOPING, PRAYING, TRYING TO GET EYES ON YOU
ADAPTING, CHANGING, DOING WHATEVER THAT YOU CAN DO
STRUGGLING WAITING BELITTLING THOSE AHEAD OF YOU
TALKING JUDGING DESTROYING BECAUSE IT’S ALL THAT YOU CAN DO
A PERFECT IDEAL THAT’S OUT OF YOUR REACH
NEVER GIVEN THE CHANCE
FINDING OPPONENTS AND TEARING THEM DOWN
THE ONLY WAY YOU’RE TRYING TO ADVANCE
HOPING, PRAYING, TRYING TO GET EYES ON YOU
ADAPTING, CHANGING, DOING WHATEVER THAT YOU CAN DO
BITTER, ANGRY. MOVING INSIDE OF YOURSELF
IMAGINED. DESTRUCTION. INVALIDATION OF SOMEBODY ELSE
IMAGINED. DESTRUCTION. DOMINATE. INVALIDATION
THE FACE THAT YOU SEE IN MIRROR IS UNSTOPPABLE
WHEN WILL THE PIECES FALL INTO PLACE?
YOU’VE SOWED THE SEEDS OF DISSENT AT EVERY CHANCE
SO WHY HASN’T THAT LEAD TO YOUR HAPPINESS AND SUCCESS?

Culture of Death
02:23
|
|||
|
YOU THINK YOU KNOW HOW ALL THINGS SHOULD GO
SMARTEST IN THE ROOM - THE ONE WHO KNOWS
DO WHAT YOU WANT – FORCE IT TO FIT
SHORTEST OF SIGHT - THE QUICKEST OF FIX
YOUR SPOTLIGHT MAKES YOU BLIND
SPOUTING SOLUTIONS THAT YOU FIND
KEEP THE CURTAINS DRAWN TIGHT
HIDING FAILURE FROM THEIR SIGHT
TEARING DOWN ALL THOSE IN YOUR WAY
CONSTANTLY TALKING - NOTHING TO SAY
CREATING A BIG SPLASH - SHAKING IT UP
LEAVE IT BEHIND - FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO CLEAN UP
A SAVIOR - IS HOW YOU MARKET YOURSELF
THE ANSWER: YOU’RE JUST HERE TO HELP?
SO FOCUSED ON YOUR FOCUS. SO DRIVEN BY YOUR DRIVE
NO REAL CONCEPT, JUST KEEP THEM ALIVE
A SALES PITCH THAT NO ONE ASKED FOR
THE PRODUCT? IS YOU, AND WHAT YOU’VE GOT IN STORE
YOU’RE EMBEDDED
IN A CULTURE OF DEATH
ACT LIKE IT ISN’T
IT’S A CULTURE OF DEATH
INHUMAN CONDITIONS - YOU’RE AT THE HELM
ALL YOU ACCOMPLISH. OVERLOAD. OVERWHELM
|

What You Fear
01:28
|
|||
|
SO MANY FACES, NONE STAY TOO LONG
NOBODY LINGERS- BLINK AND THEY’RE GONE
PEOPLE JUST FALL INTO LINE
AFTER FILLING THE VOID INSIDE
ALL YOUR OPTIONS DISAPPEAR
BECOMING WHAT YOU FEAR
PATIENTLY WAITING. YOU’VE WASTED YOUR PRIME
SKIPPED AND PASSED OVER. FURTHER TO CLIMB
TRY TO RETURN. WHERE YOU BEGAN
WATCH A FUCKBOY, TURN A FUCKMAN
|

Kingsnake
01:33
|
|||
|
LOOKING AT A WALL, AS MY DAY JUST INCHES BY
REPETITION AND ATTRITION IS HOW I SURVIVE
DEAD EYES MEET WITH FACE THAT’S IN FRONT OF ME
DOING ALL I CAN TO CONTAIN MY APATHY
IMMUNE TO ALL THEIR VENOM
JUST LIKE THE KINGSNAKE
SURROUNDED BY THIS TOXIC WORLD
THAT WON’T CAUSE ME TO BREAK
ANOTHER NEW FACE. ANOTHER BACK TO STAB
KEEPING MYSELF SAFE BY AVOIDING THEIR GRASP
I GET PULLED INTO IT; BUT I’M NOT HARMED
IMMUNE TO THEIR VENOM. LEAVING THEM DISARMED
|
||||
6. |
About to End
02:33
|
|||
|
A FETISH I CANNOT DESCRIBE
CONSTANTLY THINKING ABOUT HOW I’LL DIE
ARMED ROBBERY, HIT BY A CAR
A PLANE CRASH OR SOMETHING BIZARRE
COMES WITHOUT A WARNING
I DON’T NEED AN EXCUSE
STOP A MOMENT AND CLOSE MY EYES
IN MY MIND IT’S MY DEMISE
NOT ANOTHER DAY AWAKE. NEVER ANOTHER STEP TO TAKE
WILL IT BE AROUND THE BEND? WILL I KNOW IT’S ABOUT TO END?
DOESN’T BRING ME SADNESS. DOESN’T BRING ME JOY
WILL IT AROUND THE BEND? WILL I KNOW IT’S ABOUT TO END?
ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL - INTO A FIERY WRECK
CHRONIC DISEASE. A BROKEN NECK
I’VE ACCEPTED THEM ALL. AND I’M PREPARED FOR WHAT’S NEXT

Cocalero
01:11
|
|||
|
ANOTHER GENERATION - DOING WHAT YOU ALWAYS HAVE DONE
YOUR WHOLE LIFE UNDER THE SUN. YOUR WHOLE LIFE UNDER A GUN
THE WORK THAT YOU DO MAKES ANOTHER MAN RICH
CAN’T RISE AGAINST. IT’S JUST TOO DANGEROUS
WHAT THEY MAKE IN A WEEK YOU WON’T GET IN A YEAR
DIFFICULT LABOR. LIVING IN FEAR
ANOTHER GENERATION. DOING WHAT YOU ALWAYS HAVE DONE
YOUR WHOLE LIFE UNDER THE SUN. YOUR WHOLE LIFE UNDER A GUN
YOUR CULTURE’S BEEN STOLEN FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO GAIN
NEVER ANY OPTION TO RESIST OR COMPLAIN
THE MINIMAL PAY TO KEEP YOU ALIVE
BLIND OBEDIENCE OR PAY WITH YOUR LIFE
YOUR WHOLE LIFE UNDER THE SUN
YOUR WHOLE LIFE UNDER A GUN
|

8. |
Buried in a Lie
01:46
|
|||
|
YOUR BRIDGES BURNED AFTER CONCEPTION
ANOTHER LETTER WITH REJECTION
FILLED WITH ANGER AND CONFUSION
SO MANY QUESTIONS. NO SOLUTION
TRY TO MAKE SENSE OF THE PIECES
NEVER GIVEN - ANY REASON
EVERY TURN. ANOTHER BATTLE
SPENT YOUR WHOLE LIFE TRYING TO UNRAVEL
ANOTHER YEAR. SAME ROUTINE
ASHAMED OF YOUR FAMILY
SACRIFICE EVERYTHING
JUST TRYING TO BREAK THROUGH
ALWAYS FIND SOMETHING NEW
HURT BY THE ONE WHO SHOULD HAVE HELPED YOU
BURIED IN A LIE – THAT NO ONE COULD FATHOM
BURIED IN A LIE – THAT NO ONE WOULD HEAR
BURIED IN A LIE – THAT SHOULDN’T HAVE HAPPENED
BURIED IN A LIE – BUT YOU PERSEVERED

Whole
01:37
|

|
THE VERSION ACCEPTED ISN’T WHAT IT SEEMS
COAST ON ASSUMPTIONS BECAUSE THEY SATISFY YOUR NEEDS
NEVER STOP AND SAY YOUR TRUE ROLE
ROB AND FABRICATE TO APPEAR WHOLE
IT GETS EASIER. SMILE AND NOD
KEEP IT MOVING. KEEP IT BROAD
CAN’T BEAR TO LOOK AT YOUR SELF NOW
ANOTHER NEW ENCOUNTER. ANOTHER OMISSION
FEELING LIKE A FAILURE. BECAUSE OF YOUR DECISIONS
WHEN WILL IT EVER FUCKING STOP?
THE VERSION ACCEPTED ISN’T WHAT IT SEEMS
COAST ON ASSUMPTIONS BECAUSE THEY SATISFY YOUR NEEDS
ROB AND FABRICATE TO APPEAR WHOLE
WHOLE

Single Use
01:33
|

|
IT’S ALWAYS THE OPTION THAT YOU CHOOSE
THE ONLY CONTACT IS OUT OF THE BLUE
FILL YOUR NEEDS AND EXIT FROM THE SPACE
GET WHAT YOU’RE AFTER AND THEN TURN THE PAGE
ONLY SERVE A PURPOSE FOR A SINGLE THING
USED AND DISCARDED IN A SINGLE RING
I’M ALWAYS PLEASANT WITH THE REQUEST
TRY AND FIND THE ANSWER THAT WORKS BEST
I GET A THANK YOU FOR THE HELP
UNTIL I GET ASKED AGAIN BY SOMEONE ELSE
I LISTEN TO WHAT YOU’RE ASKING AND THEN I FILL YOUR NEED
I WAS SICK OF GETTING NOTHING BACK. AND I CONCEDE
THIS TIME IS THE LAST TIME

Ready to Strike
02:59

BEHIND A SMILE AND WELCOMING TONE
RESTS A MIND BETTER LEFT ALONE
PROVIDING A SERVICE ON THAT YOU RELY
PASSING JUDGEMENT AS YOU TRY TO GET BY
DON’T KNOW HOW IT WORKED OUT THIS WAY
BUT YOU DEPEND ON WHAT HE CONVEYS
NO LONGER SEE HUMANS
NO CAUSE AND EFFECT
A NUMBER ON A SPREADSHEET.
ANOTHER BOX TO CHECK
COMMENDED - A SHINING LIGHT
HELP THE HELPLESS - THE GOOD FIGHT
LOST COMPASSION - IF THERE EVER WAS
PROVIDING - BUT FIRST TO JUDGE
DEHUMANIZED - PLACING BLAME
MAKING JOKES - EACH ONE’S THE SAME
THE FINAL PRODUCT OF WHAT’S CONSUMED
THE WORST VERSION IS WHAT’S ASSUMED
LACKING COMPASSION. IT’S JUST A JOB
BEHIND LOCKED DOORS. WORRIED TO BE ROBBED
EXPECTING DANGER AND READY TO STRIKE
A BLADE IN HIS POCKET TO TAKE YOUR LIFE
|

12. |
Nothing Left
01:33
|
|||
|
CRUSHED UNDERFOOT JUST LIKE A BUG
WORN DOWN TO A FUCKING NUB
NEVER LETS UP. NEVER A BREAK
PILED UPON. IT’S ALL I CAN TAKE
THEY KNOW WHAT’S GOOD FOR YOU. DON’T YOU FORGET IT
IT WON’T STOP UNTIL THEY’RE LIVING INSIDE YOUR HEAD
TAKING OVER MY LIFE
ALWAYS SECOND GUESS EVERY CHOICE I MAKE
NO MATTER WHAT I GIVE. IT’S TAKE AND TAKE AND TAKE
ANY ACTION, CAUSES A NEGATIVE EFFECT
CHIPPING AWAY, UNTIL THERE’S NOTHING… NOTHING LEFT
LOST THE WILL TO RESIST
BARELY ABLE TO EXIST
NOTHING LEFT INSIDE THIS SHELL
DIDN’T REALIZE THAT I WAS FOR SALE

PIB is my favourite hardcore band. I love their sound and aggression. No one does it like them. It’s a perfect blend of hardcore, punk, grunge, dirty and grimey. PIB ‘til I DIE
