even now the terrifying fluid is coursing through your veins I was wrong it's death that gives this world its point we love a rose because we know it will soon be gone whoever loved a stone?

Now we're pulling the wires intraveneous your limbs are no longer your conscious behavior if that's fine with you... We can all live forever We are the technology in the year 3011 you are memories... your head chip expired it's dangerous if you don't jack in and take the upgrade your memories can all live forever A virus is spreading it's digital it's easy and painless cause it makes you numb we can all live forever cause we are the technology in the year 3011 we're fighting for our memories in the year 3011 the wires are a part of you as long as we keep with the times our memories are safe

All along the west we made cities where kids fear regret and they will do whatever to keep from dying but I don't know where they get the idea that we are all not the same and anything less is dying we try to objectify the youth til there's nothing left for them to say we try to identify with you til there's nowhere left for them to go All along the west remains the idea that we were right when we left but nothing is safe from death the kids believe that finding the place we belong is far away

The Business 02:08
my lungs are breathing fire my chest is gonna explode we've go this under control cause my god is bigger than yours we do what's good for the business make money baby! we're going to take it all from you what's left could fund a bomb or two we do what's good for the business borrow yourself away
5.
how did we get left so far behind? well that's the question that is killing me How could I relieve this son of mine? well that's the question that is killing me the truth is arduous I said I want to know the truth the truth is arduous you sell yourself how do they expect us to survive when they have taken every breath from me? how will I relieve this son of mine well that's the question that is killing me we've got to face our future enemies or one day they'll take away everything.
6.
If this is a test to see if my enemies are stronger than I I'm willing to put up a fight we'll take all your history and put it to rest we'll build a new covenant on top of it there's too many hostages waiting for god tell them it's useless he's not coming down fighting for truth we'll burn every last one down like it or not this a war take out a pen and write every last word down like it or not this is a war maybe your preachers hand can save you from death well... if you REALLY believe maybe your precious god is really a stone maybe he's sleeping wake him up wake him up In the blink of an eye we'll fight all our enemies stronger than I if they're willing to put up a fight you are not alone we'll fight all our enemies stronger than I If they're willing to put up a fight there's too many hostages waiting for god tell them it's useless there are no miracles.

When the liars build their castles out of me we all say that we're alive and free my disposition makes me wonder "what's for me?" and you'll never get ahead with honesty if there's no way out of this we'll have a bigger problem I'll never be you I don't want to be a liar I don't want to be a thief I don't want to be your dealer I just want to live for me We need a better system or else.
8.
now I was trying to remember when this shit just wasn't happening but I guess it's true it always does there really is no time in life when I don't feel like a fucking knife is slowly digging deeper you wanna know how I stay alive don't be the one whose living a lie or ever let them stop you it's not how we live it's who we are you can take my place when I'm dead and gone if you think this is the worst it gets then you're better off without me if life is like a cigarette I burn it up and inhale it but at least I know that it's MY habit I keep my hand on solid stone I keep my hand on solid stone we don't fall for pious hopes we don't fall for pious hopes are you with me? well are you with me? you're either with me or you can pray for better days that never come You'll have to kill me you'll have to break me you'll have to kill me or you can pray for better days that never come it's not how we live it's who we are you can take my place when I'm dead and fucking gone if you think this is the worst it gets then you're better off without me
9.
I think I've had it up to here and now you're my problem you ought to sleep one eye open I'll cut your throat wide open you've heard of me the new justice you'll get away but not this fucking time you motherfucker I think I've had my share of loss but I never got that desperate to take from those like us who work to feed their own did you think you deserve a piece of mine? you ought to sleep one eye open I'll cut your throat wide open you've heard of me the new justice you'll get away but not this fucking time and when you see me coming in from above you better pray it won't take very long cause I believe in consequence above the law when you know, you know you're doing wrong code of respect: taking from me is like taking from you only you took less.

Out Of Touch 02:43
We were born of bright lights and in stages we look up when glimpses look like dreams All this time searching for something that will ease our minds of what we're supposed to be out of touch with silence and people in a rush to make ourselves complete we grew up learning what we needed then we died when it was not what it seemed it takes time to build a kingdom but you can't lift these bricks staring at a screen we grew up planting what they seeded we are weaker now to things you cannot speed
11.
Outside the window skating in the street two kids full of hope one's me take it to the edge take it to impress me could've been anything, something "none of these kids understand the victim no one like me no one like me" promises in poverty that echo your past and drive you to fulfill the joke of who will laugh last but it never came true not like I thought two kids out of rope one gave out there is no peace there is no justice only my rage only my darkness you can't run away you can't run away let's face it you can't run away you can't run away from everything I felt the child slip away as I grew into defenses you laid down in the dirt and made peace with the rain like no one knows your suffering or feels the same pain but everyone's the same everyone's the same it's just some of us rely on the blame but not me not me not me there is no peace there is no justice only my rage only my darkness
12.
Out of the clouds Out of the sky you've got nothing to sell give me the proof give me a sign give me something we dance in a river of burning blood to prove a scripture we took all the strength between me and you and threw it away now we've got such a bad addiction it's like a drug the righteous will guilt the weak and call it love we taught our kids to fear themselves in the eyes of a savior then we took all the strength between me and you and threw it away now we've got such a bad addiction it's like a drug to whatever makes you feel like a god it's time to let go the world we've built is burning down to prove nothing the church you've built is burning down to the sound of evolutionaires we'll stand up and prod the legions our hearts are never turning back there's no god there's only you and me we took all the words from an ancient book and distort the value so we took all the strength between me and you and threw it away now we've got such a bad addiction it's like a drug to whatever makes you feel like a god.
