1. Exist To Resist

So one-dimensional
The people that pulled the strings and turned your life around
It is intentional, believe me
The way they keep you in the dark, it's how they keep you down

I exist, exist to resist

The motivation to persist
A strange intangible existence fueled everything
Accomplished up to now that time has changed perceptions viewed to
To something slightly gone askew

I exist, exist to resist

But existing to resist was lost somehow

2. Rape Of Persephone

I've been around forever, watching, waiting
She was the one
Took what I wanted, what I longed for
With no remorse

Rape, in the night
To defile the pure, it takes a soul that's dark and sure
Power mad, sick, disease, no cure
Screaming murder, try to fight him away
Colors run, flag of white displayed

Rape, in the night
Never be the same, life is not a stupid, useless game
Somebody has to take the blame
Screaming murder, try to fight him away
Colors run, flag of white soiled gray

Where do you think you're going
I'll tell you where you've been
Through the glass so darkly
An angel has fallen

Rape, in the night
To defile the pure, it takes a soul that's dark and sure
Power mad, sick, disease, no cure
Screaming murder, try to fight him away
Colors run, flag of white lays frayed
Every time

3. Doubt

He only sees what he wants
It serves to fool and distract him
While slowly everything's haunted, cursed and stained

His temple that was his home
Showed itself as mere cold stone
To finally feel all alone is horribly purifying

And it's doubt that fills my head
Dreadful doubt dripping in dread

Leave me to live in my own world
I've had enough of yours
Follow the program and make plans
To become self-assured
Didn't end up the golden champion
Ended up on the floor

Paid all the dues I could afford
But what was due me got lost
Found I had gained some small respect
But I get little more
They say if at first you don't succeed
Leave well enough alone
Could never live just for the dollar
'Cause life is only unknown

4. Colorblind

What are you looking at
What is the matter
Are you that high upon the social ladder
Divide and conquer, you got it right
Just trust the differences between black and white

I wear my uniform, you wear yours too
You may not think so but you don't have a clue
The people who believe they are the rule
Are such exceptional delusional fools

Become colorblind
Defeat, don't define

Time ??? nerves inside
Concealed behind vacuous eyes
Tick, tick, ticking me off more
An emotional wreck in the guise of a bore

Wavering on the edge
One last straw shoves me off the ledge
Fall, fall, falling to my surprise
Owing this to my prejudice's demise

I was but blind before, but now I see
What is to become of you and of me
I can't do it alone, and so we flail
And wallow in this world so frazzled and frail

5. Deter-My-Nation

They tell us to wait, yeah we'll wait but for how long
Keep us quiet, dismiss our ideas but for how long
Let's concentrate and reevaluate
The economy's sunk and we've all got to pull together to raise it up

Deter my nation

Endless campaigning, a void in your ??? for how long
Promises preached, the nation's appeased but for how long
The first to complain is usually the last one to vote
Well my vote is cast, we need a national antidote

This is not certain
Preach to spread fear
I'm venting my frustration with the hope that you'll hear

Be aware of your future and who's plotting it out
If you neglect your nation you deserve to live in doubt

Well it's a wise man who opens up his mind before his mouth
Some politicians these days are in a wisdom drought

Take some pride in your country give some love to your land
Sentiment is not enough to really give a damn

They're racing again, to plant what you see but for how long
Count up your votes, gain a big lead, but for how long
We'll have to wait to face our fate
To see if from our entanglements I'll still be able to extricate

Deter my nation
Deter my nation
Deter my nation
Determination

It's so much fun to judge everyone, isn't it

6. Throughout Me, Threw Out You

Love you, is what I do
Need you, desire in my blood for you
At first, I had control
For my worst distinguished feeling to be bold

Syringe pulses into my veins
Eyes roll back I'm in love again

I knelt, a bed has taken the cross' place
Hopeless, my guard went down
Numbness, my smile's converted to a frown

(Enticed by forbidden fire
Reasons get worn down to the wire
Until some exhibit displays
We've all come unblind to our own weakness)

If ??? sees this word
Cold facts, show me that I'm absurd
Mistakes, from which I've learned
Taught me, to never let myself get burned

Love again
Never love again

7. Second Degree Sleepwalking

I hold vexations back inside of my mind
Like a dam, denying frustration, a way out
The pressure builds

At night while my mind slumbers off at rest so deep
Hatred guides my steps as I walk in my sleep

Cold murders littered in the wake of my dream
I'm deaf to every scream

My subconscious secret to living stress-free
Is manslaughter in the second degree

8. A

You've all the answers to how people should all live their lives
Well if you show me a wretch who does what he can to survive
Then I'll, I'll show you resistance, you call it a shame
We are the ???

Now deviation is not found in your dictionary
Ask me the question, just how different can equate with free
And I'll, I'll show you the answer, the happiness game
It's rooted in our crime of not being the same
Cause we're not the same
And never will be

9. The Other

You've been crashing down ???
But then we'd all know what if something ??? to entice us even more ???

The ??? is yours sometime to spite in disguise
Where your deepest fears and secrets hide

Demon over mind, it's all inside you
If you only knew, the other is just you

My name is allegiance. for we are many
We're not confined by any law or prayer
Your torture and destruction ???
In life, who told you life was ever fair

Oh no

You think you've finally met the debt, well guess again
You're only playing with ???, a blind child
