Smoke em if you've got em
Cause nothing's for free
This cash that I made is for me
Bang on the drums
You can sound the alarm
I'll sleep like a babe while you're out in the street
I've earned what I've got now I'm up on the top
You're a pawn that I know how to play
So give it your best shot
Let it rain
Let it drown you in the same
Cut the chord
This world is ours to take
Pull back the curtain
Open the gate
Let it rain
And fight back every day
Rats in a cage starving for days
Fighting for scraps that they give
Days turn to nights under fluorescent lights
At least I'm in here and they're over there
It's easier to fight a fake enemy than climb to the top of the strings
Bred like dogs with small rewards
This is a reckoning
It's time you get what you deserve
Let it rain
Let it drown you in the same
Cut the chord
This world is ours to take
Pull back the curtain
Open the gate
Let it rain
And fight back every day
We are a force to be reckoned with
As we tear off our strings
Those with the power to change the world have taken it for themselves
As they pass the torch, we become the rain
And snuff them out
And snuff them out
Pull back the curtain
Open the gate
We are the rain
And we will drown you out

Frustration

Pulling in both directions
Letting go of truth
We're giving up
All alone in the basement
Biggest name in a crowded room
Logging off, logging on to the faceless
Bring hell with the click of a button
No longer recognize the place that is in front of me
Have we crumbled from the weight that is our doubt?
Like the weather it's a wealth of inconsistency
But we don't blink
We swallow it down again
Take a moment to check your facts
Cause once you break the dam it's hard to build it back
To build it back
No longer recognize the place that is in front of me
Have we crumbled from the weight that is our doubt?
Like the weather it's a wealth of inconsistency
But we don't blink
We swallow it down
We fill our cup but it's polluted at the source
Forget the truth
What we want is something more
In this dirt all we're gonna grow are thorns
It's time to take back our reality
Is it ever enough
No longer recognize the place that is in front of me
Have we crumbled from the weight that is our doubt?
Like the weather it's a wealth of inconsistency
But we don't blink
We swallow it down
We fill our cup but it's polluted at the source
Forget the truth
What we want is something more
In this dirt all we're gonna grow are thorns
It's time to take back our reality

Shithead

I am a shithead
A dick in many ways
Try to be nice but it's more than I can take
I see a moron want to hit him in the face
I shove it down but I just might break
I have a problem when you try to disagree
We flip a coin but it always lands on me
Who can I blame for this fucked up mental state
I'm another asshole who thinks he's great
Maybe this all is just a phase
It's only gone on twenty seven years
The fear that I will never change
But who cares I think I'm doing great
I can never see why you don't agree with me
In reality I'm the dick and maybe it's just me
A better way could've happened if I planned it
And I could've tried to understand it
Because your point of view is another truth, another truth
It's all the same we always point the blame
But we never try listening
It's time we suffer through or live with backwards twisted truth
We will disagree
But I'll try to comprehend and then maybe
We'll stop wading in this shit

Fractured Ethos

Is this what you want?
Roots are rotting out
Head is in the clouds
Patience wearing thin with everyone around
When all the bridges burn and the well runs out
Will your story change?
This is my life. Live for the high
Terrified you've made a big mistake
I'm on the path. You hold me back
Did I help create this?
On my way
Broken hands from beating on this wall
Best of luck
Live life like there's no tomorrow
It's easier said than done
The odds in your favor
Still gave it to the house
On the road to nowhere
(Breaking backs along the way)
Nothing left to do
But just stay out of your way
You know what I have to say
Is it making sense?
Backed into a corder
Losing my best friend
Stubborn in your beliefs
Remind me of me
But you're losing everything
Live life like there's no tomorrow
It's easier said than done
The odds in your favor
Still gave it to the house
On the road to nowhere
(Breaking backs along the way)
Nothing left to do
But just stay out of your way
Fuck your high
Just come down
Realize you're fading out
Not burning bright
It's a lie
Losing time
Lost your mind
You gotta take it back
Live life like there's no tomorrow
It's easier said than done
The odds in your favor
Still gave it to the house
On the road to nowhere
(Breaking backs along the way)
Nothing left to do
But just stay out of your way
Lost your mind
Lost your mind
You gotta take it back

It's written on all our faces
It's on the tip of my tongue
If there's a devil we made it
Inside of everyone
Trying to find something left in me
Looking for a little empathy
If I fake it long enough maybe I'll get it right
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
I feel it in my blood
Can you take it?
Can you take it?
And is it ever enough?
I wanna break
I wanna break the skin
Rectify what I'm holding it
Face it all and never second guess
Break the walls I built inside my head
Lying to myself just to get a grip
Hiding in the comfort of emptiness
When I'm all alone I feel more alive
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
I feel it in my blood
Can I make it?
Can I make it?
I'm running out of time
I wanna break
I wanna break the skin
Rectify what I'm holding it
Face it all and never second guess
Break the walls I built inside my head
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it sneaking in?
I wanna make it
No longer fake it
I wanna take control of me
I wanna take control
I wanna break
I wanna break the skin
Rectify what I'm holding it
Face it all and never second guess
Break the walls I built inside my head
Inside my head
