My obsession with creating this perfect specimen
Of myself for your examination
In theory maybe there's a chance I can feel
And see through the painted glass and see just what is real
My relationship to this thing I call my soul
I stand alone with myself holy water of tears and blood
in theory maybe there's a chance I can feel
And see through the painted glass and see just what is real

All I ever want is for one small piece
To feel alive if I can make it through this pain alive and know
That time has passed me by
Maybe I can evolve into something that lives
Face up to your fear, you will conquer the pain, don't be afraid
Vengeance of yourself creates life for you

fragile life cut short by ignorance,
why couldn’t they give him just one chance
to be who he wanted to be,
live his life like you and me
a sentence of freedom was delivered to the thief
solely because of his narrow believe
a prison of death was condemned to the innocent,
why?
a victim of his own mind
chorus: weed out the bad seed,
social anxiety for what their originality?
a need for supremacy making us bleed,
the outcast youth,
don’t look that way at me
a tragic life of pain and difference,
they cannot see the love that exists
she lives like she wants to be,
fall in love eternally
the rocks and stones puncture her skin,
but cannot change the girl within
a life filled with fear of ignorance,
why?
a victim of her own mind
chorus: (there is no justice in this world
for those who feel that they are better than us
and feel the need to put us out of our misery)
I can’t define a reason why
we discriminate when we are all the same inside
in my mind I hear them cry and scream inside
I never had the will to die
don’t look that way at me punk
don’t look that way at me(4x)

eliminate the dream
that’s consuming every human being
a fire deep inside
fueled by beauty and by pride
she’s a beautiful girl
with beautiful hair, a beautiful smile,
but it only hides the fact she is dying deep inside
chorus: why must you degrade?
for other people’s insecurities?
you’ll see what you have made
and why she can’t believe in herself
and now you see this girl,
she is not what she appears to be
she hides behind a mask
of dirt and chemicals
and she only longs for the life she used to live
a happy life that she does not have to hide
chorus then she will fall down,
nothing will hold her above the ground
and all the masks in the world
will not hide the reflection of her soul
then she will fall down,
I cannot hold her above the ground
all the masks in this world will not hide her
why cant she believe
(believe in her self) 2x
believe in her self

my life
my inspiration,
you have forsaken me again
in death’s cold arms, fall into oblivion
how should I believe
a myth I’ve never known
now will these lifeless hands
reap the damage you have sown?

chorus: what else can I do but waste my time
while you linger in my soul and my mind
I would like to save your soul in time cause I don’t mind

so where do we go from here,
my childhood memories are passed
and now I reunite with my childhood at last
how could I believe
a father I’ve not known
the searing pain of truth hides the hate that’s grown

chorus the bond between father and son(4x)

my hands are open,
my eyes are dry and worn
from searching for a father
I’ve not known since I was born
how can you possibly break
something that never was?
how can you possibly break
the bond between father and son
my eyes are open,
my hands are dried and torn
from digging for the body
I’ve not known since I was born
how can you possibly break
something that never was?
how can you possibly break
the bond between father and son
this is the end
a string of death is in the air
as strong as I am now,
my father, you’re not forgotten friend
my eyes are open,
my hands are dead and torn
from digging for the body
I’ve not known since I was born

be-tray- all I see with bleeding eyes,
standing in the world divide
take our anger to the streets,
burn our cross we’ll burn your sheets
purge the world for purity,
who needs racial harmony?
warring soldiers from above,
sent by God
chorus: jump off the springboard head first in
end one million lives for your sin
driven by your anger, genocidal fear
follow your scapegoat leading to here
be-tray-all I see with burning eyes-
human life is compromised
holy churches filling seats
preaching racial unity
infiltrate our children’s minds,
filling them with old white lies
soon comes vengeance from above
sent by God
chorus(2x)
betrayal betrayal of the human race
(8x) human race the rat race human race

home.
emergency riot control,
sit back and watch the blood flow
from all these rebels who will not take this anymore
an organized revolt to show the world the faces
of those who will not be victimized again

chorus: why run away, when I can hide
and wonder what is wrong in my life
why should I laugh when I can cry?
aren't we supposed to be civilized?

this is the revolution on all which we can see,
reverse our evolution depending on technology
we now have come full circle,
this is the end
we must rise up and fight or fall with our environment

chorus: your system has failed us and left us with nothing,
your greed and self service resounds in everything
we won't be silent as earth goes up in flames,
we must take back,
we must take back the reigns

breakdown(2x): this is the revolution,
reverse our evolution,
your river has run dry a systematic breakdown,
your systematic structure,
the water has run dry

spoken:(a systematic breakdown, your systematic structure, the water has run dry, at least in my eyes)
