The American Charade

Does the free world need a leader
Or are we just doing our deed
The polls stack up against us
All of the votes won by greed
Staring at a screen telling you what the truth is
Now your lucid insanity is in do not refuse it
Damned if you do or if you don’t
The rebels say no while the sheep lose their coat
And if I had a side to choose
I’d hop off the fence and shout we all lose
I just don’t care anymore
All of your politics bore
The American charade
You’ll only know the truth when it’s shoved into your face
When she walks up on the stage
Misinformed America doesn’t even know her name
I just don’t care anymore
All of your politics bore

True Nature

How does it work for you
True nature of the man
Telling friends and enemies same kind of stories
And still don’t see the problem
You killed it
You kill me
On fire for eternity
What do you mean
Your false integrity
How do we condemn you
Your personality stinks as much as you do
So clean your act and your ass
Demise is surely brewing
Selfish yet unrestrained
Unempathetic traits
Overt reactions too
Unwilling to change your ways
Cope now
Behold the terror of the life you’ve fabricated
Inside your mind you know you are the bearer
Of this curse
Of this shame
Of my open wound bleeding
Desperate connection
Such quick praise then shunned
Charisma is no cure
Oneself is deemed too pure
Fake now
Take now
Fake now
Take now
Just show yourself
Just show yourself
Selfless yet unrestrained
So hard to love yet easy to hate
Your trust is not a gift
Committing to a selfish lie
Selfish yet unrestrained
Unempathetic traits
Overt reactions too
Unwilling to change your ways

It’s like a dark cloud’s hanging over me
A light suspended just out of reach
I can’t take this anymore
Searching for life like it’s an open door
Oh the cycle never ends
It spirals down forever
Light shot through the window
Like a dagger in my eyes
My expression of disgust
Is just a long string of sighs
Where is the hunger for a new day
A day that echoes life
When I awaken with this hatred
It quenches all the light
I can’t take this anymore
This feels like some place that I’ve been before
Oh the cycle never ends
It spirals down forever
I’m lost in a sea of apathy
Waiting for the waves to take me away
But the wind is gone and it’s been so long
I think it’s begging me to stay
I can’t take this anymore
This looks like some place that I’ve been before
Oh the cycle never ends
I’m lost in a sea of apathy
Waiting for the waves to take me away
But the wind is gone and it’s been so long
I think it’s begging me to stay

Let go into a dark trance
As I close my eyes
Let go into subconscious tales
A dream of life
Consequence of actions seems irrelevant
I think of all sin to be the least of it
Give into the lie
In my dreams where my fears all come to life
In the deep of my sleep where all love and hate arise
The real world calls me home but I don’t want that anymore
I’d rather stay right here in the comfort of my fears
Cause it’s not real
Hushed to sleep as the day it expires
Drifting away as the tension grows higher
How could it be
The betrayal I see
Finger on the trigger but the walls are thin
The clock is ticking backwards
I can’t make sense of it
Aches and pains for the sake of being awake
A luxury that’s been taken away
Break free from reality
Lucidity a lie that’s becoming me
In my dreams where my fears all come to life
In the deep of my sleep where all love and hate arise
The real world calls me home but I don’t want that anymore
I’d rather stay right here in the comfort of my fears
Cause it’s not real
It’s not real
In my dreams

Risky Business

All these years of irrationality
You’ve still got nothing to say
You’ll never become the best that you can be
You’ll keep treading in your own ways
You don’t think that we can’t tell
The faux of your shell
In the end you’re just another
Cog in the fall
Can’t seem to see
The other ones
Who want you to
Put away the gun
All I can see
You’ll be the one
To shoot them in
The back again
You think everything should be handed to you on a silver platter
Let the free man suffer for your high class perfect disaster
Crack the whip and watch them fall into line
But how did you miss the sign
No pets no food no weapons or youse
I’m so sorry to have wasted your time
Now that you’re done interrupting
And pushing all of my buttons
It’s time for you to go
Are you stupid
