No One's Here

No One’s Here
From the outside, looking in
No idea where to begin
Try and find a place to be
Is this right for me?
Creating only obstacles.
Antagonize a fucking brawl
Imitate what you see
Violence randomly
Walk away unconcerned.
So, others won’t return
Just another cheap shot
An effort just to stop
You act like a fucking spear
And wonder why no ones’ here
Single out the weak and small.
Until you’re in an empty hall
And you wonder why no one is here

Blinders

|
Blinders
Your interests are all you see
Blinders on to everything
Leave behind a world of shit
You don’t even think of it
Just a selfish person coasting right on through
Zero consideration for those around you.
The loudest voice, the last word
The only opinion that’s ever heard
Social norms do not apply.
No hinderance to your life.
|

Delusion
01:07
|
|||
|
Delusion
It takes a conscious decision
To ignore what’s outside
Dilute your brain with television
To dull feeling alive
This won’t get any fucking better
I know it’s been said before
To say things could be worse
But look at what’s all around you
And tell me what you think first.

Woodfox
All of these days stuck in a cage.
Alone with his thoughts. Four walls and a cot.
Innocent, but still convicted.
Because of your views, you’re restricted.
With a voice they couldn’t stop
Locked away and left to rot.
Decades lost, no return.
Persevere as the world turns
Abusing their discretion.
To teach a fucking lesson
Humanity is lost
Will to live is quashed
To only numbers and a cost.
|

Divisiveness
00:58
|
|||
|
Divisiveness
Elitist. Only ones that matter
Narrow minds. Only makes it sadder
Closed out. Focused on the optics.
Apathy. No effort to stop it.
So sick of this. Divisiveness.
Collective mind casualty
Unable really see
Total lack of empathy
Unwilling to ever bend
Never want to make amends
Clueless to the message sent.

|
On Display
There’s only so long you can cover your tracks
At every turn there’s eyes on your back.
No solution to escape this net. At this point, I’ll just submit.
Accept defeat. Embrace the day. As my whole life is on display.
|

Obstinate
00:54
|
|||
|
Obstinate
Entertain or incite -- Reinforce that you’re right.
A world view curated. -- A reality fabricated.
Everything must fit your plan
Outside views. Can’t understand.
Disbelieve and turned blind eyes
Will never stop the sands of time.
Refuse to change a point of view.
New information won’t matter to you.
No amount of history will erase
The present situation you face
Pain and suffering will always be there.
As you turn you back and say a prayer.

Infinite Reaper
01:14
|
|||
|
Infinite Reaper
Decisions made in the heat
With the expectation of defeat
As the time marches on
Left to wonder when I’ll be gone.
Decisions made for the best
Still standing with the rest
“Live fast, die young”?
Left to wonder where I went so wrong
|

Deprogram
01:13
|
|||
|
Deprogram
Strike a nerve. Create a splash. Draw them in.
Invitation. Open arms. Now you’re within.
Read the rules. Learn the rules. Live the rules. Love the rules.
Deprogram / Erased
Individual / Replaced
Reprogram / Replaced
Individual / Erased
Cultivate and Isolate
Separate to propagate.

No Compromise

|

|
No Compromise
Entire planet localized to only what you see.
Only care for like minds. Everyone must agree.
Sadist at the concept of another’s plight
Laughing at the idea of another’s fright.
See yourself as always right. A true authority.
Insulate and isolate. A false reality.
When progress and open arms are seen negatively
Then there’s no way you and I can see eye to eye. Never - Never!
No interest in compromise. Superiority.
Unable to empathize, only disagree.
A fantasy of trauma should give you pause.
Instead, you laugh with satisfaction. Ignoring all your flaws.
See yourself as always right. A true authority.
Insulate and isolate. A false reality.
When progress and open arms are seen negatively
Then there’s no way you and I can see eye to eye - and ever, ever agree!

Detach
People will come and people will go
That’s the world around you
There’s barely a fucking thread
Of what brought us together
I can’t find a reason
Not to sever
I don’t need to live in the past
I wish you the best, those times didn’t last
I acknowledge the attempt to connect
It isn’t an option that I’ll select
Our history is just that
It’s decades behind and not coming back
People will come and people will go
That is the world that’s around you
People will change and people will grow
You’re wasting your breath trying to change me.

Deaf Ears
01:23
|
|||
|
Deaf Ears
No contact with the outside world. Just looking for some connection.
Keep reaching out for any contact. Time spent with every selection
Exhaust every other outlet. Only met with rejection.
Abandoned by those that can. Looking just to understand.
Reaching out to anyone. Hoping just to feel human.
Deaf ears.
In a quest to have a voice you seek out those who have no choice.
But sit and politely listen to the world that you live in.
Deaf ears.

|
Exhibited
Who Pulls the strings? Who calls the shots?
Who’s behind the scenes? Whose opinion is bought?
A daily life in paradise for all to see
Try to be so perfect. The goal is envy
Build yourself up. Become an idol. Influencer. Entitled.
Perfect shot. A product placed. Reality or just charade.
A daily life on display that’s set to expire
A new face comes along. Forced to retire.
Who’s next in line?
Who calls the shots? Who gives a shit?
There’s always a price. And you, you’ll fucking pay it.

Counterattack

Counterattack
I can’t do a thing without your second guess.
No matter what it is, you always take offense.
You always think you’re under attack
So, you choose to sabotage. Counterattack
Under a guise of helping, you interject.
Your self-interests you protect.
You think you’re a victim at every turn.
Because you seek out bridges to burn.
A sad existence you lead.
Only involvement is to heed
Everyone’s against you in your eyes.
Every move made you scrutinize
|

Substitutions

Substitutions
Not one single way. Opinions are vast.
So many voices different from the last.
There are pieces that can’t be left out.
It shouldn’t be a place for stepping on those around you to get ahead.
Not a stop on the road to success, fame, and glory.
You can’t remove your own effect
The things you do to make it work.
Following the recipe of someone else.
Expecting the outcome for yourself.

Algiers Point

Algiers Point
A disaster laid the cover to roll out martial law. Cosplay as a hero.
Instead, you maim. Instead, you hunt. Instead, you kill.
No one was the wiser. Viewed in high regard. No investigation.
How many hurt? How many scarred? How many dead?
A dark spot in history. A story never said. You seized on opportunity to leave some innocent dead.
|
||||
17. |
Last Word - Last Act
01:43
|
|||
|
Last Word // Last Act
So many people come and go. It can’t be avoided.
Some make it a better place and some just destroy it.
Last word. Last Act. You can change that.
Last word. Last Act. Or just let it pass.
Left with regret of things that were left unsaid.
Watch those around you mourn a friend who’s now dead.
Life and death have always been a bit intertwined.
I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t always on my mind.
Is this something that should make me feel guilt?
My life has crashed and burned and still got rebuilt.
I can’t change how I’m wired or the thoughts I have.
Only to just wait them out until they pass.
Find a distraction. Take your thoughts away.
No reaction. Just to face the day.
Perseverance. Numb to everything.
Decades later. I’m still the same.
