Your constant lies
What did love mean to you?

Taken all those years
And thrown them all away
You suffer with the guilt
By calling it devotion

No matter how much hate pours out of you
I take the punishment with a broken smile
Learn to love the abuse, if I get to stay with you

I want every last lying tongue ripped out
I want all the prying eyes plucked out

Just a way to convey
Desolation

That made you human
Apologies
Fall on deaf ears
Meaningless platitudes

Guilty conscience
Can you feel it?
Something is missing
You sold it all for

Profit margin
Was it worth it?
You’ve lost the right

Hoping for a better world in the next?
Will you be a lamb just a part of the flock?
Livestock born only for butchery

“I will give you food and shelter”
“But never kindness or love”
“For it is impossible to feel anything but disgust“
“For what is not wholesome”

You gave me all your insecurity
You told me this is how it has to be
You said that nothing had been ideal
So learn to love your mediocrity

You broke me down one insult at a time
You offered your love circumstantially
Now I leave you alone with your apathy
Walk away with remains of my dignity

“And now, we are hated”
“Objects of contempt”
“We are poor”
“The downtrodden”
“We are despised by all”
“We are hated”
“Despised by all”

Someday we all have to die
All we will be is a memory
Fleeting and easily forgotten
For those who hated us in our life

Your image put on display
Imperfections are showing through
Your fragile world is falling around you
It’s all coming down on your narrow shoulders

“Despised by all”

We were your audience
Long since driven mad
Captivated by the act
You designed to play the lead
Lost in your ego
Dancing like a fool
Greasepaint caked on thick
Look your best for the lights

Lay out your costume
Remember beauty fades
This is your only chance
To make them all see
How unique you are
So much more than ordinary
You became what you hate
So play on while we scream

“And now, we are hated”

Integrity was just a word for you
Something intangible with no value
Traded to the highest bidder
For your moment in the spotlight

Your grave waits on you
All your pride will amount to nothing
Under the dead earth in the end
You will decay the same as we all do
“We are hated”
“Objects of contempt”
“We are poor”
“Downtrodden”
“Despised by all”
“Despised by all”

“I stand before you today”

You made me whole
Feeding off your attention
You helped create me
Defined a personality
You made me human
Something worth your affection
You made a whipping boy
Born to serve your needs

You made my poison
Drug for your addiction
You took away free will
Lost in all your lies
You made me suffer
Simply for the pleasure
A temporary lover
Just like all the others

“If it is greatness we must destroy”
“Then let us drag our enemies”
“Out of the darkness”
“Let us shine a light”

“Nameless things with no memory”

We are products of obsolescence
Left behind in the name of constant progress
Children of a dead hollow empire
Promised life of pointless surplus
Factories churning out our intention
Poison measured by the cubic meter
Breathe deep excess of our invention
Choking on the taste of our decision

“We don’t know who we are”
“We don’t know where we are”
“Each of us woke up one moment”
“Here we were in the darkness”

Dead empire – One nation under fear
Freedom was just another word for obedience
Dead empire – One nation under madness
We burnt the world – To nothing but ashes

Dead empire – One nation under hate
Armed with only lies – everyone is an adversary
Dead empire – One nation under force
Slavery is the only thing that’s still free

“That’s the question we asked ourselves”
“A question with no answer”

Leading you single file to the gallows
Bred a legion to serve the corporation
Born to be nothing but product placement
Clamoring like infants for the decadence
Skeletons bleached out in the sunlight
When the graves have become one too many
Showing us our proud legacy
We have chosen to call a democracy

“That’s the question we asked ourselves”
“A question with no answer”
“Nameless things with no memory”
“No knowledge of what went before”
“No knowledge of what will be”
“No understanding of what is now”

I see black in every face
One little mark turn to disease
I see eventual breakdown
I know my days are numbered

I see the virus spreading
Infected blood has taken over
I see innocence that left me
I know my last sunrise is coming

“I’m alone”
“And I deserve to be all alone”
“I just want you to hate me (hate me, hate me)”

Now I want you to hate me
Now I want you to bruise me
Now I want you to erase me
Now I want you to regret me

Now I want you to break me
Now I want you to disfigure me
Now I want you to shatter me
Now I want you to shrink from me
Just don’t forget me

I see old age forming
Endless sorrow creases your eyes
I see depression winning
I know my last winter is falling

I see a cold sterile blade
New earth piled six feet deep
I see the flowers dead in a pile
I know the devil is smiling at me

“I’m the one who was supposed to make everything”
“Okay for everybody”
“It just didn’t work out like that”

Working harder, living poorer

All for promises, of a different life

We let tyrants, cover up our eyes

You left us here

Some people say, “Born into the grave”
Endless pawns, play a fixed game
What will it take, for you to realize
No one took control, you sold it cheap

Will you fall in line, just one more time
March to the rhythm, of machinery
While you wait your turn, to sell your life away
For your funeral, in their factory

“She couldn’t pull back”
“No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t help her”
“She couldn’t pull back”

“She couldn’t pull back”
“No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t help her”
“She couldn’t pull back”

Day by day I became
Everything that I had always hated
Lost in a fantasy built on quicksand
Discovering just how far I could fall
Pour me another drink to end the anxiety
I’m trying in vain to hide my growing shame
Desperate for answers in the bottom of a bottle
This addiction has become my reality

Now I know how wrong I was
Now I know all the pain I caused
I know the smile I’ll never see again
I used to know what it was like to be alive
Now I know how wrong I was
Now I know all the pain I caused
I know the eyes I’ll never wipe clean
Now I know what it’s like to be dead inside

“She became everything to me”
“And I wanted to pull us back because we were killing each other”
“She couldn’t pull back”
“No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t help her”
“Then one day she just left”
“Didn’t say why”
“Didn’t take my calls”
“And I went into a downward spiral”
“And the next time I saw her, she was dead”

My free will replaced by need
One drink at a time I drown the agony
Night after night I commit suicide
Anything it takes to fade these memories

Show me something worth living for
Here I am with nothing left to offer
I’m back where I swore I’d never be again
A hollow man whispering junkie prayers

“Then one day she just left”
“Didn’t say why”
“Didn’t take my calls”
“And I went into a downward spiral”
“And the next time I saw her, she was dead”

Now I know how wrong I was
Now I know all the pain I caused
I know the smile I’ll never see again
I used to know what it was like to be alive
Now I know how wrong I was
Now I know all the pain I caused
I know the eyes I’ll never wipe clean
Now I know what it’s like to be dead inside

Dead inside
Dead inside
Dead inside
Dead inside
Dead inside
Dead inside
Dead inside

“Personally speaking, I can’t wait to watch life tear you apart”

There is a hole right through the middle of me
A piece to a puzzle that can never be complete
I want to see you suffer, want to see you empty
I want bridges burning bright behind me
Numb to everyone, like father like son
My hands are bloody but my conscience is so clean
Do you love me now that I am just like you?
Born with a hole where my heart should be

“And the conclusion I’ve come to is…”
“We want someone to get it right this time”
“But not me”
“Personally speaking, I can’t wait to watch life tear you apart”

Tear me open
Break me all apart
Shatter me, fracture me
Take out all of your hostility
Tear me open
Break me all apart
Shatter me, ruin me
Make me feel your insecurity

Come on, tell me everything you think is wrong with me
One last insult on your way into obscurity
Twist up your face, scream out all your rage
It’s not that hard to hate someone you created
Never miss a chance to tell me I was your mistake
I’ve lived my whole life listening to your disdain
Made in your image, you have only yourself to blame
Aren’t you proud of the monster that I became?

Tear me open
Break me all apart
Shatter me, fracture me
Take out all of your hostility

Tear me open
Break me all apart
Shatter me, ruin me
Make me feel your insecurity

“Personally speaking, I can’t wait to watch life tear you apart”

“For those of you who know me”
“You will be aware by now that my ambition is unlimited”
“You know that I will settle for nothing short of greatness”
“Or I will die trying”
“For those of you who do not yet know me”
“Allow me to introduce myself”

I have seen the end
Too tired to take another step
Found my mortality
In liquor fueled fantasy

I had given in
To all the prescriptions
Of so-called society
Beauty of conformity

So much suffering
Worn like a new flesh
Un-scarred from insults
Neither wounded nor afraid

The man you once knew
He withered and he died
What you see now
Is all that’s left alive

“For those of you who know me”
“You will be aware by now that my ambition is unlimited”
“You know that I will settle for nothing short of greatness”
“Or I will die trying”

Stop.Listen.Think.Infest
We have nothing left to lose
Stop.Listen.Think.Infest
No one can hurt you, not anymore

Stop.Listen.Think.Infest
Now they know we won’t give in
Stop.Listen.Think.Infest
Strength is born from individuality

I have overcome them
All their petty lies
Become something more than them
I have opened my eyes

I have paid the price
And smiled through all the pain
Lived through the loss
Just to do it all again

Survival of the fittest
And I am still standing here
Cutting the strings
Of my own puppeteer

I will gladly die
But I will not believe
In a human nature
That defies apathy

“For those of you who know me”
“You will be aware by now that my ambition is unlimited”
“You know that I will settle for nothing short of greatness”
“Or I will die trying (or I will die trying)”

“For those of you who do not yet know me”
“Allow me to introduce myself”

Stop.Listen.Think.Infest
We have nothing left to lose
Stop.Listen.Think.Infest
No one can hurt you, not anymore

Stop.Listen.Think.Infest
Now they know we won’t give in
Stop.Listen.Think.Infest
Strength is born from individuality

Stop.Listen.Think.Infest
Stand up and fight or lose yourself
Stop.Listen.Think.Infest
Take back your pride and fight with me

Stop.Listen.Think.Infest
No matter who you were before
Stop.Listen.Think.Infest

“There are people living in boxes”
“There are people ready to shoot you if you look at them”
“And we are getting used to it”
“And we are getting used to it”

We built you altars of binary code
Knelt for your projection on our screen
We like and follow our way into your empire
These are the last days of sanity

Your only desire was for attention
You show the world your counterfeit emotion
The anguish around you means nothing to you
Unless someone will stream your virtue

Show me- your pain tolerance
All of your charity
In service to your vanity
Show me- your pain tolerance
Your plastic empathy
Synthetic humanity

Show me- your pain tolerance
You feel nothing
When no one is watching
Show me- your pain tolerance
You hollow effigy
I see right through you

“There are people ready to shoot you if you look at them”
“And we are getting used to it”

You monetize every decision
Your filters are so carefully chosen
Emotion curated for your platform
Of reptile faces feeding on attention

Your personality is a forgery
Your salary paid in tragedy
Invented for you by the majority
We’re drowning in your hypocrisy

“There are babies lying around in the streets”
“And we are getting used to it”
“There are people ready to shoot you if you look at them”

“She became everything to me”
“And I wanted to pull us back because we were killing each other”
“She couldn’t pull back”
“No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t help her”
“One day she just left”
“Didn’t say why”
“Didn’t take my calls”
“And then, I went into a downward spiral”

Day by day I became
Everything that I had always hated
Lost in a fantasy built on quicksand
Discovering just how far I could fall

Pour me another drink to end the anxiety
I’m trying in vain to hide my growing shame
Desperate for answers in the bottom of a bottle
This addiction has become my reality

“No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t help her”
“Then one day she just left”
“And I went into a downward spiral”
Now I know how wrong I was
Now I know all the pain I caused
I know the smile I’ll never see again
I used to know what it was like to be alive

Now I know how wrong I was
Now I know all the pain I caused
I know the eyes I’ll never wipe clean
Now I know what it’s like to be dead inside

Dead inside
I’m dead inside
I’m dead inside
Now I know what it’s like to be dead inside

My free will replaced by need
One drink at a time I drown the agony
Night after night I commit suicide
Anything it takes to fade these memories

Show me something worth living for
Here I am with nothing left to offer
I’m back where I swore I’d never be again
A hollow man whispering junkie prayers

“She became everything to me”
“I wanted to pull us back because we were killing each other”
“But she couldn’t pull back”
“No matter how hard I tried I couldn’t help her”
“One day she just left”
“Didn’t say why”
“Didn’t take my calls”
“And I went into a downward spiral”
“And the next time I saw her, she was dead”

Now I know how wrong I was
Now I know all the pain I caused
I know the smile I’ll never see again
I used to know what it was like to be alive

Now I know how wrong I was
Now I know all the pain I caused
I know the eyes I’ll never wipe clean
Now I know what it’s like to be dead inside

Dead inside
Dead inside
I’m dead inside
Now I know what it’s like to be dead inside

“I grabbed onto her skirt and I begged her not to leave”
“Then I watched her close the door and walk off down the hall”
“Never seeing her again”
“She had all of my attention”
“I had fallen in love with her”
“I believed that she could save me”
“Can you imagine how any of this felt?”
“Say something!”
“I stand here before you”
“Judge me, you bitch”

Can you feel me here where you left me?
Can you see me here waiting for you?
Are you listening to another heartbeat
Making those promises to someone else?
Can you hear me on the nights I wake
Screaming your name into an empty room?
Can you blame me for feeling this hatred?
All the years I’ve wasted
I am left devastated

“I had fallen in love with her”
“I believed that she could save me”

Come and share my suffering
Come and share my pain with me
Come and share these visions
Let me show you my version of hell
Come and share my suffering
Come and share my pain with me
Come and share these visions
Let me show you how this felt

“There’s some kind of pain”
“In a lot of us”
“We just don’t want to feel anymore”
“Pain says to us”
“Hell-“
“It’d be better off just feeling nothing at all”
“No, no, no (no, no, no, no, no)”
“And our souls go numb”

We have nowhere to call home
Childish dreams are long gone
Buried in the crumbling concrete
Shadows cast on blackened steel

Left living here in your waste
Hungry mouths fill with ashes
Bonfires burn, private nightmares
Every night, in every city

“Pain says to us”
“It’d be better off just feeling nothing at all”

I let the insects be my legacy
Nightmares are my only dreams
I’m all stitched together, I’m tearing at the seams
Pull my strings, tell me, how will you use me?

All we see are ruined lives
Reflecting images of our failures
All we hear are whispered crimes
Confessions made with blistered lips

Agony becomes a symphony
While we look on helplessly
When misery is the only currency
It will be our turn to be the wealthy

“Pain says to us”
“It’d be better off just feeling nothing at all”
“Until we go numb”
“And our souls go numb”

I let the insects be my legacy (Use me)
Nightmares are my only dreams (Use me)
I’m all stitched together, I’m tearing at the seams (Use me)
Pull my strings, tell me, how will you use me? (Use me)

I let the insects be my legacy (Use me)
Threadbare puppet, I’m twisting in agony (Use me)
Mouth wide open and I’m frozen in a silent scream (Use me)
Pull my strings, tell me, how will you use me?

“Our time is limited, we forget that”
“Death comes”
“Soon it’s as if we never existed”

“Death comes”
“Soon it’s as if we never existed”
“So remember to smile”

You want me to praise your society
I’m choking on all the brutality
Don’t ask me to believe in this fantasy
I’m going numb to inhumanity

You are just one more commodity
Don’t tell me this is how it’s supposed to be
All that you see is a counterfeit personality
Wearing the uniform people like you made for me

“Our time is limited”
“Death comes”
“So remember to smile”

I see your eyes full of fear
Born in a world that will never care
Your whole life was a tragedy
You’ve built a tolerance to this nightmare

Let the end come
Let the fires burn until nothing remains
Blacken the air, blot out the sun
Let’s welcome death with a broken smile

Let the end come
Let the flood waters drown us all
Pay no attention to our extinction
The world razed to the ground is all we deserve

“What is it to be human?”
“What is it to be alive?”
“I don’t know”

You want me to praise your society
I’m choking on all the brutality
Don’t ask me to believe in this fantasy
I’m going numb to your inhumanity

You are just one more commodity
Don’t tell me this is how it’s supposed to be
All that you see is a counterfeit personality
Wearing the uniform people like you made for me

“What is it to be human?”
“What is it to ache?”
“What is it to be alive?”
“I don’t know”

I’ll tell you anything you want to hear
I’ll pull you close, I’ll whisper in your ear
You’ve made all my hatred seem worthwhile
Every minute, every day, every year

Let the end come
Let the fires burn until nothing remains
Blacken the air, blot out the sun
Let’s welcome death with a broken smile

Let the end come
Let the flood waters drown us all
Pay no attention to our extinction
The world razed to the ground is all we deserve

“Our time is limited, we forget that”
