Rust 02:21
my palms pushed against the static embrace the white noise within. my brain is running frantic holding my breath until the end. her light shines through, right through her vitals. you can see the disease, and still I feel spiteful. airwaves collectively seeping grasping what I can never hold. radiation fills my entire being now you've been told. she loves me. she loves me not.

Tony Jones 02:42
here we go again. daily routines, broken dreams. no unification too many contradictions. what the fuck is up? so many copycats, liars, and thieves. we've lost control. I'm really at a loss. all you fuckheads ever do is deceive. it's taken it's toll. so you've had a taste. was it everything you thought it would be? or was it all a waste? are you full of regret or sympathy? do you finally see all the damage and chaos around? or are you simply blind, unable to see what surrounds?

born into innocence not ever knowing what is imminent chaos, murder, rape behind a cloak of seclusion even a privileged life is complete delusion. but in a moment life turns on a dime, bringing you down with it into hard times. you keep on pushing looking for liberation, but it's never there, it's just a starving nation. lost in a world of billions always an enemy not a friend. assume the worst on this rotten earth, keep anticipating the end. disgusted by all the children who all hold a similar fate. it's a sad but true pity to never know what fuels this hate. innocence is a monster killed eventually by time. with the pandemonium the opportunity has arrived. the story is already written, a disastrous comedy. some people say devastation, I call it an odyssey.

Swamp Ass 02:05
you say you're a punk, and this what you live for, but you're too god damn scared to get your ass up. you're too busy texting and telling your friends how much this band fucking sucks. you're wearing a misfits shirt, but say you're too old, that moving around is for kids. you're drinking your beer and sitting at the bar, that must be what true punk rock is. it's more than the vinyl you own or the shirt that you found at the goodwill. it's a message, a purpose, a feeling of process, and you don't understand shit. i hope that your wife and kids know that you have lost all your spine. and that you gave into the society that you once said once a crime. now you stole a life from them, and completely changed yourself. you're too fucking concerned with what everyone else thinks. live for your fucking self.

the truth is I'm a lot like you fucking scared and without a clue. I get enraged at the lack of common sense. when people force their beliefs I go on the offense. OH YEAH! why do you really continue to pray? when it does nothing day after day. it gives you some shining light of relief thinking you did something with a stupid belief. so what if I'm not saved in your eyes? I believe nothing happens when I fucking die. you cling on tightly to a string of faith. it's bound to snap. just sit and wait. the truth is that I envy you being able to believe in absolutes, always looking for the easy way out afraid to live with any doubts. OH YEAH!

washed ashore I have no clue where I am the position of the sun hard to say where I've been what day month year it is all reality is out the door so I guess I'll walk on and try to see what's in store everything I see is so foreign yet everyone looks like me can I get some recognition so I can find out where I have to be hey people I need some help here yet the footsteps never stop I'm just trying to make things clear

Dry 03:20
staring at the back of your head just tracing back so I can predict the end but I'm at a loss, you see, it's just a movie playing over and over again. you said, no, wait, you screamed what did ever matter to me? well I can assure it mattered more than it ever did to you. praying, hoping, fighting for a better result, worrying about every move I make in this world. I try to tell myself that it's not our fault, but the proof is right in front of me. how do you continue? robots in a line just waiting, waiting to die. working, for nothing, not a single fucking goal in sight. blindness seems like a common disease when all you have to do is open your eyes. yet you still go on like there's a reason to fight. this is true passion, with these words I've written down on the page. I'm going to take action, and feed your ears with my sadness and rage.

Insomnia 01:56
tired, but I still can't sleep. hopeful, but afraid to dream. force the things that I need to survive. my bodies giving up, as if it's been deprived. staring at the ceiling looking to rest. I close my eyes hoping sleep comes next. I feel so weak I can't get out of bed, and there is nothing I can do that will clear my head. I've overcome every obstacle I've fought, and my life's just started and this is what I've been taught. take every moment as a chance to learn, and if in the end you want the world to burn. just remember there are others like you, and there are better ways to show what you have to prove.

David 03:35
this child born with a strong heart. his future should have been secure. his mother had a heart of gold, and she would love this child through thick and thin. but his father was a weak man, he could no longer bear the pain. a newborn child, his job was lost, an affair all riding on his back. he took his life, and left his son and wife to fend for themselves. now five years old, he realizes his fathers never home. his mom wastes away on all the shit she can pump in her veins. he can't make any friends. everyone pretends as they pass him by. nobody gives a glance, or a fucking chance. they leave him alone to sit and cry. as he grows taller, he becomes wiser, and starts to wonder what's left on this earth. mom doesn't know he exists. she just wants her fix, and looks at life as though she has been cursed. he's finally built up the courage, to come and share his thoughts. he has been preparing, doesn't care if he is caught. no remorse inside for what lies ahead. his vision is clear as well as his head. he empties his guns of their shells. then turns the pistol on himself.
