The Treaty Of Change
Leave your suffering at the door
I know you're new but we've seen this all before
Just come in and forget yourself
There's everything to gain with ourselves
Take off pride, Take off integrity
This change comes down to a treaty
Sign it with your blood
Sign it just like you should
It's the witness against offender
It's oppression against defenders
We're the rebels, We defend you
They're the system, They claim what's true
Here's the proof, Now go prove it
Leave what you believe out there
Those lies can't help you in here
We...

Ironic Plot
Caged and deranged,
Changed and enraged,
Chased and erased,
Faced and wasted,
Based on haste I fly through life,
Based on my face you’d think I was rushed,
Hushed for my words,
Crushed by their swords,
Brushed off for someone else,
Filled with hate,
Grilled with fate,
Sealed by fate,
Skilled to change,
Chilled with rage,
Beheaded,
Ahead of the future,
Memories are my sutures,
Dead memories change my searches,
Hidden from churches,
Leaning on crutches,
Judged and misjudged, ...

Dreams
Dreams are still alive,
They just don’t ever die,
Dreams keep us going,
Even when we want to die.
Who would’ve thought I’d still be here, Looking at you through my eyes, It’s a surprise I’m not dead, A surprise I’m still trying to get on top of this game, I’m just going for fame and the money, Forget the honeys and that game, I was that happy kid with everything, Parents and friends and toys, But I made some choices like touching those drugs and those drinks, Got the rises and sinks just thinking I’m cool, Even became a tool and didn’t give a damn, Then I got a wake up...

It's Time You Met The Monster
People want to know what it's like to be me,
What I hear and what I see,
How I view the things perceived,
Well here's a little insight into my sight;
Imagine a fountain of blood, Imagine a blood-filled flood,
I'm drowning,
Imagine the tree of life, Imagine a death-filled tree,
I'm trapped,
Imagine a wall of claw marks, Imagine a blood-covered wall,
I'm clawing to find my way out of myself, There's just no way to get out,
Just no certain clear path for me through this maze I find myself in,
Like a...

There She Sits
There she sits on the street, Waiting for something
People just walk right on by, Like they thrive off judging
But they don’t know they’re judging, They’re so blind
She wonders to herself; “When did the world become so unkind?”
You can walk right through her because she’s hidden behind her mask
She hides so we can’t ask, We stand in the sun to bask
She tries to stand, We knock her down and don’t understand
She can’t cry ‘cause her eyes are empty, Someone entered and emptied her
Now she just sits there on the street waiting for something

Escaping
I’ve been down that road before,
Swam from shore to shore just trying to get away,
Trying to find a way to escape from my demons,
I was trapped just fighting my way out,
I was taking the long way through but I made it through and I see the light of day,
For the first time I see the sun,
I can no longer be shunned for being low,
For ruining the show with my lows,
Now my aura glows,
Now I’m showing people what a soldier looks like,
What the true meaning of survivor is,
I don’t need reviving anymore,
I’m sure for the first time that I’m...

Lying On The Paper
Pen lying on the paper ‘cause I can’t think
Scribbles make their way across the paper with no direction
My thoughts spill out in no real order just trying to escape the confines of my mind
My knife staring at me waiting for my next block so he can be used again
Like he’ll be the one to shake me out of this
Pen lying on the paper ‘cause I can’t think
Misfit words coming together for that masterpiece
I try to make sense of the world like I can make sense of anything
Or tell someone how to make it through
Or tell someone I know what it takes
When I’m...

Calling Card
Burning flesh, Smells so sweet
Breaking skin, Feels so surreal
Slicing and dicing is the amateurs game
Strangulation is the pro’s vice
It’s like a calling card of ours
Burnt souls taste the sweetest
But blue blood gets me going
Breaking skin, Feels so surreal

Whats In A Name?
Whats in a name?
But syllables of fake identity,
Mirrored images of what we were made to be,
Painted stain glass windows of tainted high expectations,
Traces of our ancestor's hopes and dreams turned into ash,

The Aura Of The World
It's like the aura of the world turns neon for this second,
The colors peak in an oval ring of firey surprise,
They rise and fall like the ocean's tall,
They call out to me with voices of clear perfection,
It's like the gods of the sky wanted this moment to happen,
The stars aligned for my turn at joy,
I'm a toy in the bucket but it's time that I struck it,
Stuck gold at the end of the rainbow,
The heavens put on this show for me,
It's so pretty can't you see,
The practicality of this sight is almost run out by the tricks of the stars, ...

All We Are
All we are are gladiators battling to the death,
The dictators laughing at their little games,
It's the blind leading the blind in this game of the mind,
The disciplined masses stand in a line as they are killed one by one,
We dont see anything wrong with this,
What's wrong with us?
Can we stop this?
The tv sells it's scripted lies,
The radio spells it's moronic tales,
The news tells of the killings by troubled kids,
The suicide of fed up America,
Slit wrists with our erotica,
Thirst for blood fueled by the fued of the...

This Offer
I've made my mistakes,
Raised the stakes when I should've lowered the cost,
It cost me,
But I'm not one to die over it,
To stop trying over this,
To start crying over this,
But if this is the way to go then your done and I'm shunned and your pinned and I'm stunned by this moment in which we paused in,
But we both caused it,
We were both drawn in by this enticing offer,
To offer ourselves for the greater good of the world,
Or should have we declined,
So we didn't have to decline to hell for this,
Put our souls on their shelf for this,...
