Intro / Numb

Help me understand
Time and time again
I hear my name come out your mouth
Speaking as if you know what I’m about
What do you hope to gain?
Bury my truth with your fucking lies
You know nothing of my situations
Making nothing but complications
And twisting my words
Just to come out on top
Help me understand
I don’t care what you have to say to me
Just save your breath
Numb to your apology
Help me understand

Perfect World
01:27
|
|||
Secrets are found in the cracks of the streets
No silver spoons
Just sorrow and concrete
We wanted something more
It wasn’t meant for us
We never had the option
The doors were always shut
Speaking up to keep us down
Living like a puppet on a string
Just stop and look around
We won’t
We won’t live life that way
The bricks were laid to build this prison
But they never knew about the strength within us
We rattled the cage and broke down the walls
And we’ll do it again until your perfect world falls
Who are you to speak?
Like you read it out a fucking book
Who are you to speak?
Now that the facts are out
You’re looking kinda shook

No Clear View
03:09
|
|||
Every day seems to be the same
Nothing's ever changed
This world, our home
It has us trapped and we have one here to blame
Man look at where, where we've put ourselves
Constantly fighting to reach the top
We still see no end, waiting for it to stop
Time to wake up
Doing nothing but pretending
Time to wake up
Nothing but wishful thinking
Our vision is blurred from the truth
No clear view
With no explanations, not even a few
Always looking to start again
But can't seem to change
Can we say that we ever once tried?
A foreign thought that still feels so strange
Ignorance is bliss
They say we can't escape this
We beg to differ
Yeah, we're the proof

Fraud
02:00
|
|||
I’ve got to admit
It took a while to see past the bullshit You always seem to spit
It’s escalated
And you’re losing control
Nothing here for you to hold
Why’s it so hard to see?
You’re past the point of no return You still haven’t learned
Respect is given when its earned
Reach for what you lack Living off the scraps Talk is fucking cheap You’re going nowhere You’ll see
What’s with the hesitation?
Can’t stand the confrontation?
Didn’t think any of this would ever surface? No big surprise
You pretend to get by
Just to hide who you are on the inside
You built yourself up
Just to fall in the end
I hope this strikes a nerve
This song is the least you deserve
At this rate
None of this is up for debate Talk is fucking cheap
It’s not hard to see

Better Off
01:57
|
|||
For three years
All I did was bite my tongue
Too much time has passed
It bled for far too long
The scales were always tipped in your favor
I watched my life slowly peel away
I ask "what for"?
Same routine on repeat every damn day
But now I'm through
You've been blocking up my view
Of what life could possibly look like
If there happened to be an absence of you
It's time I broke away
From this crooked game
I'm taking back control
Of everything you fucking stole
Watch me rise to the top as you fade away
Can you blame me for finally wanting to start anew?
Despite what you've heard, I'll be fine
I'll be fine without you
Better off without you

Between the Lines
00:41
|
|||
Man, here we are again
You serve and protect?
We can read between the lines
Your true nature's neglect
Refuse to see what fuels our rage
It still takes a lot to be on the same page
Loyal to the corruption
It's clear as day
This ain't no fucking assumption
The voice of the unheard, the unwanted
No more silence caused by actions so absurd
Make a change before expecting one from me

The Weight
02:26
|
|||
Broken kid walking all alone
Taking one step after the next
Counts his steps like he’s counting the days till he fits in like the rest
Living off the crooked smiles and broken promises
Never had a glimpse of what foundation really is
Cast Out
Left in the dark by the world he never knew
Cast Out
Lost in the world
Searching for something true
A day came where his heart sank deep down in his chest
Sick of waiting for a sign or a feeling to possess
So what’s left?
What can he do?
What path is there to take?
But turning back or moving forward
The choice was his to make
Cast Out
Left in the dark by the world he never knew
Cast Out
Lost in the world
Searching for something true
Stopped taking advice from those who never show their face
Finally he’s got his head on straight
Shrugging off the weight

Lockstep
02:11
|
|||
You expect me to believe
We have the means to succeed
The life that was promised to me
Will never be truly free
Liars and thieves make their plans
We play right into their hands
Walking in lockstep with those
Who’d leave us to rot, but we know
What they call freedom’s not for us
Moments away from collapse
Grasping for what we can’t have
I’m sick to death of the fight
For the scraps that are left, it’s not right
Their lies are something we can’t trust
Making their moves in the dark It’s been this way since the start
Shine some light on the unknown the fault is theirs alone
You’ve reached the top but you’re by yourself
You bought the lie that your worth is your wealth
We’ve been cast aside
Socially immobile
Expendable lives at your disposal
Why’d you think it had to be this way?
You want the system that’s in place to stay
If that’s how you feel
Don’t be surprised
When we take to the streets and fight for our lives
You expect me to believe
No more
You expect us to believe
No more

N.E.C.
01:44
|
|||
Enough's enough
I don’t get it
These words aren‘t empty
They just aren’t sinking in
Hatred clouding your brain
You treat my skin as a sin
Weak minded fools
Too blind to see the truth
Brainwashed to see
A twisted reality
My fucking paranoia
Has spiked a whole new high
You think I have to pay
Cause I was born this way
Trying to break through these chains
Trying to break from this cycle
You will never feel this pain
Weak minded fools
Too blind to see the truth
Brainwashed to see
A twisted reality
Reminiscing on moments that were never meant to last
You only have yourselves to blame
For how this world is in this state of shame
Fuck you

Outside Looking In
03:10
|
|||
It’s been so hard to put this into words
But it’s effect on me I wear it on my sleeve
A simple phase that's what you believe
You’re outside looking in
That’s where you’ve always been
Can’t you see
Hey, hey
We bleed the same, but we are still set apart
It’s clear to me
Hey, hey
You can’t comprehend what it’s all about
Day after day
Year after year
All the blood and sweat from everyone here
Built this up and it was built to last
Despite the hardship and pain of the past
Save your thoughts and your lack of acceptance
Even though we’ve all come to expect it
The fuse is lit
And there’s no putting it out
Open your eyes
There’s no doubt
No putting this out
“Misunderstood”
A so called curse on us
Spoken words of the blind
That’s how we’ll always be defined
Just stop and take it all in
You’ll be shocked at what you find
A small look in our minds
