“Introduction to Self Destruction”
Start me off 1st
Give me a chance
To fall flat on
My imperfect face
Blend me in with
The homeless population
I have the spine of
A disabled elderly
I’m in survival mode
I’ll take your money
While hardly working
I’ll blow the game
I fumble the ball
A clumsy defect
You finally hired me
The first day I’m late
Constant mistakes
You should fire me
I try sometimes
And I’m likeable
Until I screw up
Costing you money
My first impression rules
You accept me on the team
Years of experience
I know I’m a liability
Introduction to self destruction
Inhale the toxic effect I bring to the table
I am so negative because of my true resume
I do not think I can overcome my history, but I’ll try
If I destruct, I can lose it all
Pressure is not my best suit
Taste the scars
The wound is ripe
Digest the risk
I want to win
Wake up
Life is short
Try again
Until it sticks
I’m inconsistent
Due to injuries
I implode
before I act
Can I beat my malfunctions?
Will I outlive my expectations
I come with good intentions
I’ll try not to think negative
Maybe with the right perception
This could be a new home for me
Thank you for the opportunity

Corporate Scapegoat

"Corporate Scapegoat" (The Epidemic Pt2)
Preaching to doctors
Force-fed down our throats
Commission off addiction
This is a catch 22
blackballing those in need
Crippled & Addicted
We blame the sales team
We need a product
Some would rather die without a drug
Slamming the Criminals
Those who have ruined bliss
Draw the line, eliminating comfort
The Epidemic Part 2 Continues
Fabricated lies
profit from an overdose
You are the key
Assistance is required
Guilty as Charged
I accept demise
A Chronic Victim
Drowning without rescue
Fuel to the fire
Is avoiding the signs
Stop pushing us out the window
Corporate Scapegoat
Research and Develop a Better world
(chorus 2- 2nd part)
Corporate Scapegoat
Are you a killer?
profiting off of the injured
Will we receive
Something
for our suffering?
America the prison of Pain
(bridge 2)
Selfish Corruption
The Verdict is Guilty
We Overthrow you
Let someone else cure the pain!!!
Caution will always search for relief.
I really hope we win the war on Pain.
we are losing unlike yesterday
Not in the year 2019. COVID has got you beat mother fu***!!!

The Coward
04:17

“The Coward”
You were a good person
You fought the bad
You can be ugly inside
Sometimes a Coward
Does anyone trust you
You will share a secret
False hope keeps me alive
Its only a matter of time
This love is not love anymore
I stop procrastinating
The change needs to save
Does the Coward deserve me?
I am the good guy
I live in a dark box
Surrounded by walls of black
You have betrayed me
More time then I can count
On one hand
In our team you are the chief
I should fire you in a heartbeat
I am the one who is right
You are the one who is wrong
The Coward attempts the balance
The Coward is not loyal
The Coward will disagree
The Coward battles for selfishness
Have I had enough for one life?
Only time and effort determines
Wondering in repeat circles
Contemplating escape letters
Trauma makes this more difficult
I love someone who is not what I want
Nothing will ever be satisfaction
I need a stable foundation rebuilt
Her smile steals my life
Her face is too warm to touch for me
I need a change and regain of control
False hope keeps me alive
Its only a matter of time
You are not what I want! (says the thought to its self)
(Through bad times this is how it can be perceived in a negative light)
We love what we hate and opposites can attract and keep the balance sometimes) The Coward is not always a coward but in moments of selfishness can act as though.

Wear the Snake

"Wear the Snake"
Taste the venom!!!!
Why live in fear
own fear itself
Start slithering
Taste the jungle
Burn the Rainbow
Form a cult
Awake the demon
Welcome to the
Kingdom
So close, so far from the truth
Don’t wear it!
Branch out of comfort
Building walls with palms of our hands-on fire
Why train
with guns
when our minds
can corrupt
Look at them
Competing
We need to claim
What is ours
Welcome to your new bed
sleeping with the enemy inside of you
Fantasize your bulletproof
Satisfied no matter what they throw at you
Wear the Snake!
Taste the venom
Embrace nature's peace
Fear is Erased
Dance with all attractive
Be the one who conquers
Stick a fork in the weak
Bury the life that betrayed you
Pound the whore with Ammo
Her wounds could use a pummeling
Blast the past with Napalm
Your new self is reborn
Wear the Snake around your neck
You can taste the venom
Wear the Snake
Play the enemies
Scar the Opponents
Shame the Guilty
Taste the Venom!

Chasing All Extremities

“Chasing all Extremities”
In a castle looking downward
I watch black birds shit on apples
Cob webs cover me as a mask
My Skeletons appear on posted memes
Plastic Minds, copycats resume temporarily
Millenniums surpassed our expertise
Chasing all Extremities
Technology a new language
Battered woman are the crippled
Equal living screaming backwards
Sanded paper scratched faces
Oiled screens lubricate wisdom
Checkered dresses optical illusions
A cannabinoid acceptance, a legal self-destruction
I can’t keep up with today
What is this new technology?
Constant over progression
I think it’s time to retire, I WANT OUT!
Obsolete for my generation
Everyone is a winner now
I am chasing all extremities
Im practically in a wheel chair
I can’t follow what I cannot see
I can’t comprehend another language beyond me
Tie! me ! down! bury me before I drown out loud
Cash means nothing, a tip is bullshit
Digits, ratings and simple surveys mean everything to your well-being and existence!!!
Drugs are downloaded, and a high is virtual
Cameras are everywhere, someone is always listening and watching on
Is this the American future?
I missed the fucking boat
Or is this the New Survival of Robotic Prison programmed human. I think our generation has fallen off the cliff willingly
I refuse to keep up with this
This will backfire on us
Constant programming of robotics
Self-driving cars will kill us all
Obsolete for my perception
Everyone is now weakling
We rely on something with
A shield that can be hacked
I’m chasing this for nothing!!!!
Chasing all extreme....
Why am I chasing something that I think will cause us extinction one day
I really hope I can tolerate what is next for humanity…
My time has come and gone and I wasted it chasing all extremities

I'm Catatonic

“I'm Catatonic”
I am the one who waits the most
Sleeping it off because I cope, I am catatonic
Life goes on even if your dead
A comatose to the messenger, I am Catatonic
I am sick of living in a fantasy land
I want everything a dying person wish they could have
I am losing marbles from the sanity jar
I give it all up just so I can escape
(verse 2)
Walking a path to a world we love
Changing the past mechanically, I am catatonic
Impossibilities seem so hard to grasp
If I could move, I would be active, still I am a catatonic
Every day is new, I feel unglued
Instant failed attempts
Dropping valuables
Blessed by corruption
I disturb the morbid
I complain too much, I miss control
I wait for a chance
To achieve impossible
Don’t you ruin the hope that’s left
This can’t be the end of me.
I believe a new discovery
Could save me and my defeat
I am Catatonic!!
(Song is about being paralyzed by fear after severe trauma in this modern society that is holding us back to the nothingness we face. There is always hope but for now i feel...catatonic...metaphorically

"Forward Progress Blindfolded"
We are alone
Pressurize the wound that bleeds
Pass the test of wind
Hold us back, restraints in place
Plagiarize, a suicide
We let go of the steering wheel
This Is a joke
We advertise
own the copyright
All Rights reserved
The weight will push you down and paralyze
the domino effect consumes our every fear
Nerve damage hurts the more you strain it
Opponents cut us off as we lose the race
Change the game, walk with me
feed off of crowds, Enhance the Virus
Forward progress
IN a warzone
Forward progress
Is Blindfolded
Forward progress, but all we see is black
Forward progress, the path will drift ashore, for all of us
Forward progress, so close, so far away
Forward progress, we slide across the ice, not by choice
we will wonder under cover, over under torn asunder
We are beasts
turn the page of time
A charred example we burn alive
Can I feel my crippled bones?
I did not see it coming
Blinded by the cataracts
I did not see it coming
Channels changing without remotes
Always pushing forward
Always gaining speed
Constant noise interferes
Constant failures appear
Life throws knuckles
Glass face shattering
Simplistic beatings
I can win or lose as long as I Progress upwards
Pull the trigger
I need a close call
To smell the coffee
My reign was chaos morphed into mental sickness
Forward Progress is Blindfolded!!!

Contradiction Specialist

“A Contradiction Specialist”
Open the box
A clown will appear
Try not to laugh
Is this a test of my sanity?
We try to agree
When it benefits both
As said as it seems
She still goes against me.
I have tried with a contradiction specialist
taking notes gathering proof of a contradiction
Who are you? Why be a hypocrite?
Why towards me? I thought I was your fucking soulmate
Going back on your word
Going against your belief
Is what I hear from you
A multiple personality (disorder)
You claim your perception
Someone helps hear it different
I am non-confrontational
But you have built up my anxiety
I don’t care if you turn on a friend
I do care when you lie and exaggerate
What I want might be impossible
Is it possible to live free again?
Walking off the plank to the sea
Looking down at my reflection
This man deserves the truth
She is a professional
She should front a con
Is she a witch?
Why do I put up with this?
As time goes by, I am poisoned
Give me a better reason to leave
One-way does not cut it
Stop changing your perception
Stop betraying our existence
You are a contradiction specialist
Stop going back on your word
I would like to be with a good person.
You are just a contradiction specialist

Apocalypse
03:26

"Apocalypse"
We walk in fear of all
6 feet apart from you
Stir up the crazy guys
Soon it will blow apart
I see that change has arrived
A future wearing masks
Since the pandemic began
I diagnose this the Apocalypse
Biological end of truth
This is a new depression
We walk in fear of another
Social distance is 6 feet
Crime is about to launch
Can we win and resume the old?
(Chorus)
The world panics
Millions will die
What is The Aftermath? (this is the Apocalypse)
Every Man for himself
COVID 19 rules us all
Some people work from home
Until they are told
Food, drugs and essential products
Are still available
The Apocalypse
riots form violent protests
We will never be the same again
This is only the 1st Chapter of the Apocalypse….
One life to live for one another still
This is only the 1st Chapter of the Apocalypse….
Lets get out of this alive…..and make sure it never comes back to bite.

Before I Die

"Before I Die"
I call out my past?
Can you believe me?
Am I Alive?
What is real?
The fear is still strong
Before I die I want to be satisfied
(prechorus)
Where will I live?
Would it even matter?
It’s me vs the world
I’m hanging from a rope
So much has past so much regret
Time’s is an adversary
We age so rapidly
The effort is hard
(heavy verse)
My time has run out
I hear it haunting in my sleep
Telling me how to die
The weakness has grown
I know my time has passed
I better live the life that’s left
Before I die, I need a 2nd chance
Before I die, so I can fix my regrets
I know its hard in my condition
I slave away with a (imprisoned) system against me
Before I die, I have a bucket list
Before I die, I choose to be reborn
(Post chorus)
my fate is being constructed…
If everyone smiles then the world is a playground (not a battleground)
I want to be high, a threshold of ecstasy
This is my last chance to live the extreme
If I lose control,
I return to darkness, A joke
My heart is made of gold and its thick,
(Somehow) I am wasting & worthless I cannot accept it
One life to live
One life to die
One life to try
I just want to be satisfied before I die!!!

“Sadistic Pressure Enhancement”
Demolition
Is a release
The beast is roaring
craving hostility
sadistic pressure
Jumping bridge
Pressure heavy
Walls crash around
A new found ground zero
Just look you’ll see
My face is beat red
I’m dying
Slowly, torturous
Blasting buildings
Demolition
Construction of my life
Is ascending then falling.
(prechorus)
Every day I try again
Repeat the cycle
Dancing with the man on top
I become stronger
I shrink in size
Sadistic pressure enhancement
Ignite the fire
Sadistic pressure enhancement
Forced to focus
Enough of …the same old shit
When will… I accept dominance
Self examine
Dancing for the man and to survive
(Pushing me to self destruction)
(I cannot predict
Will I ever Win?)
This time I won
Relief is survival
Pleasure is easier
I blame choices
Accept the defeat
Dream the retreat
