Kill The Heart

Simple song for stupid people
Same old shit still spins the wheel
Down the creek
They can’t wait
To drink it up
Perfect hit but emotionless
Reality becomes reachless
Pseudo truths
Fake grass roots
Can’t get enough!
You can’t be surprised by the dead not being revived
Don't hold a candle to ones barely clinging to life
Management behind the mix
Manufactures most of the hits
Miss the mark
Kill the heart
Record it bleed
Give me truth; hold back the hype
Give me insight; instill pride
Take the shit
And bury it
Six feet deep
You can’t be surprised by the dead not being revived
Don't hold a candle to the ones barely clinging to life
Recycled phrases never bring any changes
Reboot the genre, forget those who are famous
Leave them to be nameless

The Circus

When I fell asleep the world was pretty much at peace and it was looking like a brighter day
Connections were created leavin’ the past outdated and nothing could get in the way
Information was spread that could enlighten the heads of the leaders of the new century
With them standing in line and the future on their minds they were just about set to lead
Then something broke the norm, I was awoke by a storm or was it just a bad dream
The screams and shouts they seemed to grow so loud that I had to finally had to believe
There's circus in the states that's got me fearing for the fates of the audience in the front row
Cause the elephant and ass have forgotten their class and now they're running out of control
The big tops coming down on the frenzied fleeing crowd as they search for an escape
But only two exits exist and you're gonna have to pick which one will seal your fate.
A failed businessman with a fatal racist plan and a lady lying with the rich people
With that massive population and such a vast nation choosing the lesser of two evils
The heat's on the rise and it's boiling the insides of the merchants of disbelief
Because they can't stand the truth even if it's been proved they're still here to cause major mischief
Facts and figures can't lie, can't be swayed to deny that takes a little bit of human touch
To mix beliefs with the truth to help further your view seems to me to be a little bit too much
You can't vote for gender or race, put a check next to hope and change and think that'll make a safe space
You gotta provoke the shift that's gonna help to lift this world into a better place

Rust & Die
06:54

Time moves so fast and I move so slow
Beliefs change so quick so that I don't know
When my words and my tone became so strong
Or when my idea of right switched to wrong
Or have I been wrong all along, all along
Growing up in a time with different expectations
Life lessons were long lost over generations
Misinformation was what I had received
Word from the mission was what I believed
Was that what made me so displeased, so displeased
It's so easy to hurt the ones you love
But it's so hard for them to give you up
Death is warm and quick or so I have heard
Life has worn me down and made me hate the world
And if I die alone I'll get what I deserve
Work and the weekend was more than enough
Lay the hammer down just to pick that bottle up
When the emptiness comes it’s hard to be refilled
Emotions left unchecked always become unskilled
Until they cannot be rebuilt, be rebuilt
It's so easy to hurt the ones you love
But it's so hard for them to give you up
Death is warm and quick or so I have heard
Life has worn me down and made me hate the world
And if I die alone I'll get what I deserve
When all your heroes have held such hard lives
It's futile to pass along any good advice
Don’t let them see the tear drops in your eyes
Because real strong men should never have to cry
Even when loved ones rust and die, rust and die
