Life takes its toll, pressure piles on, breaking but mending, disciplined and strong. Break away the shackles that bind. We get to choose our paths and I’ve chosen mine. Life, I choose life. Where you gonna run? Where you gonna hide? What you gonna say to the reaper inside your mind? Living through this pain, we gain strength. Some stray from the path but I’m destined to remain. Break away the shackles that bind. We get to choose our paths and I’ve chosen mine. Life, we choose life. Where you gonna run? Where you gonna hide? What you gonna say to the reaper inside your motherfuckin' mind?

Huddle up behind closed doors and define our wants and needs. We won’t question anything, we’ll feed your greed if you're the hand that feeds. Projections are on track, and we’ll do our part to spread your disease. All while we struggle to stay afloat and make ends meet. No one, no one makes it out alive. Nothing to gain, too much to lose. The consequences for our action's long-overdue. There'll be nothing to fight for, no one left to blame. When it's time, we all lose. Shower me in riches, anchor me to my hollow desires. They drown me at a pace that I can’t escape, I can’t escape. This place is a fucking waste land, where we can’t help but to fit the mold, where everything you hold dear is bought and sold, bought and sold. No one, no one makes it out alive. No, no one makes it out alive. No, nothing will be left behind. Digging ourselves to an early grave. No future, no hope, no meaning, no home, when the price of morality is undersold. Nothing to gain, too much to lose. The consequences for our action's long-overdue. There'll be nothing to fight for, no one left to blame. When it's time, we all lose. We all lose. Nothing will be left behind We all lose. No one makes it out alive Nothing to fight for, no one left to blame. When it’s time, I lose, you lose.

Exploit Me 02:18
I hate this fucking place, this dreaded rat race. I hate that I clock myself in and participate. Exploit my labor, take away my means to dream, show me to my desk and drain the life out of me. Exploit. Exploit. Exploit. Day and night exploit me, exploit me, exploit me. Night and day exploit, exploit, exploit. Day and night exploit me, exploit me, exploit me. Night and day exploit. Clock me out of work, give me my TV, let me pretend this is where I’m free. Tell me your lies, make me believe, what you’re selling’s what i need. Consume, consume, consume. Night and day consume, I’ll consume, I’ll consume. Day and night consume, consume, consume. Night and day consume, I'll consume, I’ll consume. Day and night consume. Exploit my labor, take away my means to dream. Show me to my desk and drain the life out of me. Clock me out of work, sit me in front of my TV. Make me believe, what you’re selling’s what I need Exploit me, exploit me, exploit me. Day and night consume, I’ll consume, I’ll consume. Night and day exploit me, exploit me, exploit me. Day and night consume, I'll consume, I’ll consume. Day and night and night and day. Day and night and night and day.

Contemplating, contemplating. Life spent hesitating. Can’t seem to pull the trigger. All my problems seem much bigger Try to envision, try to plan, I’ve tried it all before. Assess the risk, execute, but if I jump, I might fall. Calm my mind, take a breath, I’ve tried it all before. Social pressure that I’m under, can’t take it anymore. Overthinking, overthinking. Life spent second-guessing. Clear my head of these doubts, take my place I want out. Calm my mind, take a breath, I’ve tried it all before. Social pressure that I’m under, can’t take it anymore. Try to envision, try to plan, I’ve tried it all before. Assess the risk, execute, but if I jump, I might fuckin' fall. You seem to have it all figured out, but now, now I see, you’re mistaking, you're mistaking ignorance for confidence. Ignorance for confidence. You're mistaking ignorance for confidence.

Fuck your gods, fuck your masters, fuck your heaven, fuck your hell. Fuck the wars that you wage, fuck the spewing of your hate. Target on my back, label me an extremist, while your brothers burn crosses in the name of Jesus. Fuck your gods, fuck your masters, fuck your heaven, fuck your hell. Fuck the wars that you wage, fuck the spewing of your hate. You best repent, before it’s too late, It’s too late. The truth shall set you free, and I am the truth.

Bleed Blue 02:08
Enforcer enforcer, first and foremost. Abuser oppressor, a slippery slope. Intimidate the innocent, arrest and oppress. Escalating violence while demanding respect. You want order, order over justice. Fuck your creed, fuck your blue allegiance. State our claims but they fall on deaf ears. Charge and acquitted, all in a year. Perpetuate brutality, abuse and oppress. Escalating violence while demanding respect. You want order, order over justice. Fuck your creed, fuck your blue code of silence. Where's the scale of justice? Where's the sword of Justicia? If justice shall ever reign, then let the guilty fucking hang. Block by block, precinct by precinct, burn it down and give justice some meaning. Take it to the streets, ignore our pleas, barricade the block and open fire. Say it’s just a few, but you all bleed blue, serve to protect the chosen few. Burn it, burn it, burn it to the ground. Burn it, burn it, burn it to the ground. You get what you get, and what you get is well deserved, what you get is justice served.
