In Public
03:03
|

in the midst of the flock watching
figures hollow and false
eyes wide open with an empty gaze
masks upon faceless faces
swarming to consume
apathetic and attuned
at loss for words and thoughts
when faced with do's and dont's
programmed
to adhere, to comply, to behave, to forget
as the vultures near
a lush future
of neverending bliss
awaits for all
in a world divided we stand
break down the walls, use your heart

Clandestine

a system that favors the few
while keeping the masses starved
global scale class war
atrocities that can’t go on
nameless sons in ample fodder
blood offerings in the name of profit
when deaths shrug off to a statistic
and attrition is of popular demand
we are plagued with indifference
idly standing by the horrors at hand
we monetized our souls
believing in a fake dream
they privatize our lives
perpetuating their grand scheme
broken we lie
ever in debt
helpless we give
our lives’ worth
unable to fathom the
true depths of corruption

Κατήφορος

all hands at work for a brighter future
to serve and protect the mother machine
automatons that breed
subservient to marketing needs
we know of price
but not of value
stereotype hive-minded pawns at play
the collective voice keeps at bay
but the king is dead and so is the queen though it’s hard to see when you’re asleep in a dream with all your fears standing there naked and obscene
nailed to the cross of mediocrity
blurred aspirations come to pass
the immolation of one's humanity
at the glorious altar of musts
stand tall
shed your chains
rise above
the lies
rise above the lies
tumbling down this endless decline
waiting for some kind of hope to shine

Rigid Mass
02:33
|

with fiery hatred and blackened hearts
bystanders watch the ever rising death toll
unwaged war
the serpent’s eggs already hatched
and thousands feed on life’s carcass
they spread their venom wasting away
and prayers won’t stop the coming plague
mind your own and see no knife drawn
look away as bodies are being washed ashore
whitewash the snake, ‘cause after all
violence is what we adore
break the cycle, end the hatred
stand together through injustice and dismay
aid the ones of lesser fortune
smash the base of this fascist state
in the name of security they
strip you down of your liberties
caged beasts with benefits
in the age of modern slaves
i have a dream of equity
of even chances and solidarity
a better world for everyone
is it so hard to grasp?

Modern Love
02:52
|
|||
senses dulled, eyes centered
shreds of truth interpolated
unyielding thirst for acceptance
indulging selfish needs
adopting tailored habits
pretense voices guide you
so critical to feel connected
to be part of the whole
within a second's distance
and yet so far apart
losing touch, slowly fading
our precious love lies jaded
i cut my heart out and let it die
bleed out all the
bleed out all the
all the promises and the tremors
all the empty words and the forevers
for I have yet to find something
something worth fighting for
other than an arid solace
to forgive and forget
a place to bury old guilt
and be atoned
past this wretched feast
i cut my heart out and let it die
bleed out all the forevers

Urban Development
02:19
|

rise of insignificance
a plan into fruition
maneuvers to no avail
inherent decomposition
no one knows
no one else
in the grey nameless streets
no one knows and
no one cares
if you even exist
raised mass graves of concrete
solely for profit
cold cells to put our egos in
where the sun doesn’t reach
weak on comprehension
rearranging possessions
consumed by ambition
inhuman disposition
think not
slave to the labor
envy thy neighbor
self-contempt in your
squalid survival
raised mass graves of concrete
solely for profit
cold cells to put our egos in
where the sun doesn’t reach
selfness erased
no more than ants in a maze
unaware of what’s in store
or how much we’ll pay it for

Saturday Night Cure

stranded in your haven
life inside four walls
swimming in circles
miles from the shore
I want to know
what do you hope for
deliberately forsaken
early morning waste
purchased isolation
with a bitter taste
what do you hope for
by settling for nothing
(I wonder how much more)
how much more
can you swallow
(how far will you go to)
to avoid the situation
always on late expectations
nothing ventured
nothing gained
self-betterment is a long road from hell
good intentions aren’t always meant for the best
no point in repeating it all in your head
let new mistakes bring out your best
stop planning for failure
(just how far will you go to)
to avoid the situation
always on late expectations
stop looking through one glass eye
distracting yourself while you subside
nothing ventured
nothing gained

For my Friends
02:40
|
|||
staring back at the abyss
from the noose end of the rope
lost in empty cities
stranded without hope
for all the fires have burnt out
all that’s left is daily strife
on our knees, hands stretched
begging for more life
always eager to point the finger
on someone else for our mistakes
wearing the hollow crown of self-righteousness
we thrive on envy
we breathe on hatred
a world where bigotry
and intolerance rule sacred
so much is lost and we’re losing still
all we know is kill and kill and kill
ravage the lands, poison the heavens
nature’s worst in stance and behavior
little minions in our boxes
deaf and blind at true causes
exercising our free will
to belittle what is real
through self-awareness comes evolution
a grand step into disillusion
