Misplaced, and struggling to see straight.
Cause my hearts not in this place. Not a trace.
Every minute out here I’m left to think about the life that I would give my all to live for one day.
I won’t let myself just slip away.
Stuck between the wants and needs that fuel the fire of life.
And is it so damn wrong to not want to have to sacrifice
the only thing I love in this god-forsaken life
the clock ticks away
and with every passing hour. My dream moves further astray.
so fucking step aside. As I step back to the light.
so step aside. Cause I have fire in my eyes

Youth Revolt

…and this is the truth.
So listen up, listen up.
Thousands of offenders yet to be exposed
And still they roam from church to church unopposed
People need to know, that there’s no truth in the unknown.
Consistent lies, and deep denial, you are the root of all evil
Think about the children, and all the innocence destroyed. Destroy.
Just to fill your void.
We are your enemies. A youth revolt to spread across the seas.
Advocates for what is right, and speakers of the truth
And this is the truth
So you can sing Hallelujah, and proclaim your faith
But no hymn can justify the choices that you make
So you can sing Hallelujah, and proclaim your faith
but not to me.

Sola Fide

It’s like they’re blinded, or they don’t even care.
They want salvation and they’ll give all it takes just to get them there
A dollar in indulgences, just to keep them warm
From the thought of nothing after all their worlds are torn.
Can you see the hypocrisy in your ways?
Your morals are diluted, priorities a haze
You say to love your neighbour like you love yourself,
but it seems after you’re taken care of, there’s no love left.
The church profiteers and war ensues.
No god is answering, the jokes on you.
Devastates countries, third-world disease
While the nefarious suit at the podium preaches,
with neon signs and gold paved roads
wine-stained teeth in hope for redemption
Like an opiate to pain,
the problem is still there, can you feel it?
I’ll be a savior in my own life,
reach out a hand to a brother in need.
Divorce the world.

Can you feel the anchor sinking?
Can you feel the death song in your throat?
Instead of time spent on building bridges,
You left your friends to drown when you built a moat.
How do you justify the choices you made
When its us who’ve moved on and it’s your life you hate?
Kaleidoscope eyes but you’re not seeing straight
Blame your problems on the world, its all the same.
ALL THE SAME
50 mgs and baby blues start to fade
Blame your problems on the world, its all the fucking same
Can you feel the anchor sinking?
Can you feel the death song in your throat?
Instead of time spent on building bridges,
You left your friends to drown when you built a moat.
I’d rather be 6 feet deep than give you another chance
You’re a dream catcher in a bottom feeder’s world.
Give off that shrug and go back to living the romanticized lives that keep you warm at night.
West coast smiles fade on interstate 94,
But J said this is what friends are for.

Based Life

I’ve got a silhouette of an old abandoned home
on the outskirts of consciousness, where it likes to roam.
So I took the blame for the fire caused by the heat under my tires
Burnt the bridge on my out as soon as I could drive.
Southbound of Tyandega on the bus route I remember
Charlotte sat me down and said “the only way now is forward.”
But its so hard to function when you can’t get past assumptions
that life likes to kick you when you’re down. Kick you when you're down.
I now live my life for me. I’m a renegade because I don’t give a fuck. I’m fucked to you because I live life my own way.
