Contemplate your judgment A finger you point in your disapproval Your cynical disillusion Practice what you preach Learn to perceive what you seek Learn to teach without being a leech Breaking down rhyme or reason To Configure your own list To skim by When claiming it's for them When all I see is selfishness Forfeit the right, to try and justify your reasons that I see as just spite. Break the silence Break the weak reasons Break your justification Graze the fire for your own tolerance Stand in the fire I do not bend

Discouraged 02:59
I live discouraged fighting this need. I've waged a war in my head. Thoughts that never seem to end. This image of my body cold and grey, bones and skin. Your the light I'll never believe in. Days filled with this promise, nights filled with this solace. I live discouraged fighting the need to find anything with promise. My heart has silenced. My mind revokes and discredits you in violence.

Stands on the edge Boy yet to become a better man A father, a brother, his lost mother Weak at the knees but they never seem to bend Open his mouth to spit you out Skies bleed red as his eyes, they cross right out Do you feel the pressure built on doubt Screamed this so many times that his voice has thinned out A feeble mind caused by apprehension dictates his self-worth Only carried on indebted to his maker Dragged through the mud as his ankles wear thin Lived a life that was never meant for him Lived a life with hate confined within But now a man, all he knows is to feel love is sin.
4.
Breaking the grasp show your difference to me I saw your life carved in stone Flock to the herd Or be the shepherd that goes unheard Show your greed Show that you can un-carve your life from stone That you can leave your "happy home" I'd take a knife, cut the tongue from every cheek who insist they know what's best for me You plead with me as I plead this insanity You quote with your silver tongue that you were not born to follow But I take everything I need, no man or god dictates this to me, so why don't you step forward and show your greed
5.
i see your outlandish ways sought for attention to build this misconception you built this wall so high you can't scale your backbiting only builds my aspirations to take this fucking hammer and cave you in indifference to be viewed as different unsupportive of equality you try to elude people into thinking your educated but you don't know a fucking thing you hold on to an ounce of hope that this might take you somewhere that you might conjure up wings and begin to sore i see that hope in eyes just know that i will burn your wings and refuse you flight

Sincerity 02:52
I keep my suffering built up in me disregarded this rope I need to set me free Flowers bloom in my darkened room But yet pedals fall with every rising moon But I'll never even root and stem I know that I'm my own master, my own bastard but all I see in me is nothing Sincerity I find in me when I wake but I'm the only company I will keep.

Crippled Man 01:59
Captured with the windows as our light Destroyed when sun goes down for the night Locked in this iron cage Told not to make a sound How could you hear our voice How could you hear our silent screams With pain and anguish running through my veins Left to battle, Love vs. hate A man I almost decided to fucking hate You weren't the only one to lose How couldn't you love your boys you were so far removed. I held on A grudge I carried on and on Love destroyed you it crippled who you really are.

Badgelicker 01:56
Forced into submission Over privileged powers Good or bad, bad or good Primitive men With guns in their hands Searching for safety In the gut of every man I'd cast aside my moral plan To watch you burn or be damned Mob mentalities Scared society So quick to wave a white flag And cast a stone with the other hand All goes unnoticed Scared society All goes unpunished Scared society

With Silence 01:06
instrumental

With Grace 03:28
Pass by in silence Expect me to extend my own hand To a self absorbed man Speak about me in shallow breath But you never spoke an honest word Hatred for the well known Hatred for the unknown Blood has turned into fire Boils and blisters as thoughts conspire I'll butcher conquest, I'll crucify, I collect I'll destroy anything with grace Subjectively, on my own demand A man I almost decided to fucking hate So place a knife in my hand I'd cut the world right out from under you. Something I wish you could understand is I wish you could break me.
