When you got forced off your star Did you go looking for strangers? Through thicker curtains afar (we’re all set) Red-eyed from the water Watch you drown Go put your head in the sink Did you get bored of me so quick? These wrists are slit by design (we’re all) get set Red-eyed from the water Watch you drown Catch fire, deep inside me As I come Interject the sex into the violence come alive with a needle in my eye overdose on vinyl straight from the wire Watch the virus implanting in her eye Watch the virus implanting in her eye (x4) Red-eyed from the water Watch you drown Catch fire, deep inside me As I come

And I Contemplate my being Karma and believing Constructs of my mind, mind A map Laid out for solutions Not for resolution Devil’s in the details, in the details, oooh Brought up in the middle of millennial delusion Caught up with the latest trends of modern mass confusion yet? Divvy up your style, divvy up your life Take a breath or you’ll be running out of it Blame it all on gender A confession of surrender, To shout to make them listen in To practice hate not discipline Listen, I think we all want the same thing To be a good person and to break all the barriers The various stereotypes, the hatred’s gotta go But if we stop with the listening this bomb is gonna blow (it’s gonna blow) The very moment that we arrive at the conclusion that the life we are born in is not fair Then that’s where we start assuming that out there’s another human tryin’a steal the things that we’ve come to hold dear But nothings gonna change with you sitting there and nothing’s gonna change with you spitting at Everyone and everything you think is out to get you Noone’s gonna bother if you dare em not to let you Just be reasonable and play the cards you’re dealt Don’t accuse someone of cheating when your losing cause you failed And I’m not talking about those that truly suffer That are willing to sit down and talk it out like brothers This is about the kind that’s choosing not to listen, not to think about the lessons we have learned from our history Violence breeds violence and kindness breeds kindness Socrates died to hold a mirror to society, and silently accepted his fate in wise sobriety Can we get a holler for the people seeking silences Coz whether faith or sciences the day we form alliances we choose a side to fight against and die for our fucking sin Brought up in the middle of millennial delusion Caught up with the latest trends of modern mass confusion yet? Divvy up your style, divvy up your life Take a breath or you’ll be running out of it Take a breath or you’ll be running out of it Brought up in the middle of millennial delusion (Where is that self in you?) Caught up with the latest trends of modern mass confusion yet? (Where is that self in you?) Divvy up your style, divvy up your life (Where is that self in you?) Take a breath or you’ll be running out of it Brought up in the middle of millennial delusion Caught up with the latest trends of modern mass confusion yet? Divvy up your style, divvy up your life Take a breath or you’ll be running out of it

Where is the shit that fucking rocks (whoo) That blew my brains out, kept me in the safe zone Rock That kept me fighting One in a million saved by the silence Rock Where is my jam at? Where is the shit that I could you could be so fucking mad at? Rock We keep on fighting One in a million saved by the silence Am I the only who gets these motherfuckers take a gun to school to point at every bully ever to fuck with them? Ever to kick your ass and piss all over your satchel, ever to pants you, or diss you, in front of your crush or class and That’s that. You’d be a psycho not to crack up, not to grab a Glock and shove it up some assholes’ asshole. I couldn’t get a gun. Maybe that’s the only reason that I didn’t do it, didn’t let it all go that far I’m gettin’ it now, I’m happier now, I’m letting it out, straight from the mouth of the victim Let it be heard that I’m a victim, I wish it was different, wish I was with the, other guys at school that lived a life of fulfillment, that played the part of the villain, that I considered killing, in many minutes of willingly menacing imagining, I am a product of environment, that doesn’t make me innocent. Uh Different life now. It took a while but I feel better bout myself now, learned how to give myself what others wouldn’t, learned that everything is pain, but it’s easier if you don’t, give in / to the / hate and / find a / way to / go create / I think I / wouldn’t have survived a single day without it, day without it Where is the shit that fucking rocks (whoo) That blew my brains out, kept me in the safe zone Rock That kept me fighting One in a million saved by the silence Rock Where is my jam at?
