It was a miserable day today, Just like it was the day before. The dreams I had, had are gone. Crushed by this mundane world. I walk these empty streets, I'm by myself, Every step I take a risk. This affliction that has grown in me, Its only cause to bring me down. Down. Welcome, To my misery, To my tragedy, To my horror and terror, And feelings of despair. To futility, The Devil planted seeds, In the orchard of my skull, And this is what I see. The Devil planted seeds. The sky is overcast again. The smell of rain, it's in the air. My bones are aching to be laid to rest. Nobody really cares. I made this bed I lie in now. Bad decisions through my life. Come spread the word, this plague is real, And it exists to bring you down. Down. Welcome, To my misery, To my tragedy, To my horror and terror, And feelings of despair. To futility, The Devil planted seeds, In the orchard of my skull, And this is what I see. The Devil planted seeds. What you seed is what you get. What you seed is what you get. What you seed is what you get. Don't fret man, you ain't been here yet. Welcome, To my misery, To my tragedy, To my horror and terror, And feelings of despair. To futility, The Devil planted seeds, In the orchard of my skull, And this is what I see. The Devil planted seeds.

I've seen the twisted cross, Looming on the hill. I've seen the Devil's flag, and the triumph of the will. I watched the moon turn red, Right before the storm. I've witnessed grown men cry, and those of faith reform. There's no reason, there's no rhythm There's no logic anymore. We are living in this schism, This division is the law. I watched within the woods, As the fires had their way. Bore witness to the towers As they fell that fateful day. I've seen governments rise up, As many taken down. Tsunamis rearrange the land, While bombs destroy the ground. There's no reason, there's no rhythm There's no logic anymore. We are living in this schism, This division is the law. It's a brave new world It's a brave new world It's a brave new world It's a brave new world I've seen a princess die, Heard trumpets overhead. Felt tremors rise beneath my feet, Seen the bodies of the dead. Looked at photographs of Mars. Seen wars and lived in peace. Felt hate and love and pride and shame, Known lies and been deceived. There's no reason, there's no rhythm There's no logic anymore. We are living in this schism, This division is the law. I walk in acid rain. Felt the climate take a turn. Been burned by those that I called friend, And still I haven't learned. I know the ozone has a hole And Chernobyl's still aflame. The Amazon is almost gone, And I don't know who to blame. There's no reason, there's no rhythm There's no logic anymore. We are living in this schism, This division is the law. It's a brave new world that we unleash, Upon the old the dead, deceased. Can we really make a change this time? Cause until we came the world was fine. It's a brave new world that we would know. It's a brand new way to make a go. We leave no more chances up to fate, This is our last attempt to set things straight. There's no reason, there's no rhythm There's no logic anymore. We are living in this schism, This division is the law.

The instruments, the tools, you choose them well. You pick the best for the job you need to sell. This dialog, this construct, you create. Bring out the tears you falsely orchestrate. Manipulate things that make you frown. You take the world, you turn it upside down. With false pretense you tell me what you know. Push me to like the things you want me to. Something makes no sense to me, pushing me away. You have had my sympathy, each and every day. You orchestrate the tears you shed, In hopes that I will stay. I'll not fall for this again, Your symphony of sorrow. You'll sing for me, you'll sing for me, you'll sing for me tomorrow. Your symphony, your symphony, your symphony of sorrow. Believing lies like the ones you claim are true. You strategize each moment I'm with you. This is your trade not pomp and circumstance. The bed you've laid leaves nothing for romance. You castrate the meaning of the truth. Then offer bribes to distract the chosen few. You correlate and place your ducks in rows. You formulate the plans to make it so. Something makes no sense to me, pushing me away. You have had my sympathy, each and every day. You orchestrate the tears you shed, In hopes that I will stay. I'll not fall for this again, Your symphony of sorrow. You'll sing for me, you'll sing for me, you'll sing for me tomorrow. Your symphony, your symphony, your symphony of sorrow.

I'm out of time, I have no purpose The government has shut me down I demand some restitution as we have lost our moral ground Time to tell these politicians how the people really feel They re-write our constitutions don't give our nations time to heal I'm dancing with God In the Twilight of nothing Cast off your fears and come dance with me I'm drawing a line In the middle of nowhere there's nothing to prove and no one to see. I've lost my life, I've lost my patience, with these people telling me, who and what I must believe in, to form this new society. I don't need an execution, to help me realize the cost. Take a look around you people everything we love is lost. I'm dancing with God In the Twilight of nothing Cast off your fears and come dance with me I'm drawing a line In the middle of nowhere there's nothing to prove and no one to see. They told me I am not essential, A victim of this circumstance. They told me I might be infected, they told me that I couldn't dance. I'm tired of these facts and fictions I've had it with this attitude. I don't want this new religion, I don't need these platitudes. I'm dancing with God In the Twilight of nothing Cast off your fears and come dance with me I'm drawing a line In the middle of nowhere there's nothing to prove and no one to see. In the twilight of nothing

I'm standing in what feels like a dream. Nothing here is what it seems. Realities taking its toll. I'm losing all sense of control. We're the dead generation We're the dead generation We're the dead generation We're the dead generation This is not a dream. This is not a dream. Close your eyes, realize, this is happening. This is not a dream. This is not a dream. Close your eyes, realize, this is happening. I'm suffocating. I'm suffocating. I cannot think to breathe. I cannot think to breathe. Save me I'm drowning. Save me I'm drowning. This darkness swallows me. The darkness swallows me. I'm drowning in darkness, I'm gasping for air, I reach out for someone but nobodies there. I'm floating in a world of deceit. Never trusting the people I meet. These thoughts that run through my mind, are like closets for nightmares to hide. We're the dead generation We're the dead generation We're the dead generation We're the dead generation This is not a dream. This is not a dream. Close your eyes, realize, this is happening. This is not a dream. This is not a dream. Close your eyes, realize, this is happening. I'm suffocating. I'm suffocating. I cannot think to breathe. I cannot think to breathe. Save me I'm drowning. Save me I'm drowning. This darkness swallows me. The darkness swallows me. I'm drowning in darkness, I'm gasping for air, I reach out for someone but nobodies there. I can't sleep for the monster inside. They are listening on every device. There are voices that want me to stay. No escape from the darkness today. We're the dead generation We're the dead generation We're the dead generation We're the dead generation This is not a dream. This is not a dream. Close your eyes, realize, this is happening. This is not a dream. This is not a dream. Close your eyes, realize, this is happening. I'm suffocating. I'm suffocating. I cannot think to breathe. I cannot think to breathe. Save me I'm drowning.

Society, Abandoned me, Pushed me aside and it's not fair. They can't control, the overflow, of information we now share. The warnings there, We're ill prepared, The times are changing so are we. To persevere, and carry on, You'll have to do so without me. I must escape and I can't stay. There is no place for me today. Won't hesitate and to be true This whole damn world has me confused. I'm terrified, demoralized. I've seen the worst that we can be, and in this state it's not too late, to find a place where I can breathe. You strangle me, humanity, With codes of conduct you pursue. The ebb and flow, the overtones, Leave me to feel like I'm accused. The warnings there, We're ill prepared, The times are changing so are we. To persevere, and carry on, You'll have to do so without me. I must escape and I can't stay. There is no place for me today. Won't hesitate and to be true This whole damn world has me confused. I'm terrified, demoralized. I've seen the worst that we can be, and in this state it's not too late, to find a place where I can breathe.

I shook the hands of millionaires, it did nothing for my soul. I've given grace with homeless men, I've struggled, and I've toiled. I have lived as some would dream, but never lost my way. Some won't believe the things I've seen, or that I haven't changed. My footings never faltered but I'm taking a step back. I'm looking from the outside in, I'm peering through the cracks. You don't need a reason, hell you don't know the truth. We just keep believing, in what their telling you. You tell me the truth but the truth is a lie. You teach me to hate then you make it a crime. You plan to control, you kill to provide, How does it feel to be rotten inside? Conspiracies, hatred and lies. You tell me the truth but the truth is a lie. Conspiracies, hatred and lies. You tell me the truth but the truth is a lie. Conspiracies, hatred and lies. You tell me the truth but the truth is a lie. You teach me to hate then you make it a crime You plan to control, you kill to provide, How does it feel to be rotten inside? I'd like to paint a picture, something you can see. I'd like to do a portrait of this new reality. Nothing left is sacred, nothing's left unscathed. When they told you they'd take care of us, They meant we'd be enslaved. My footings never faltered, but I'm taking a step back. I'm looking from the outside in, I'm peering through the cracks. You don't need a reason, hell you don't know the truth. We just keep believing, in what their telling you. You tell me the truth, but the truth is a lie. You teach me to hate, then you make it a crime. You plan to control, you kill to provide, How does it feel to be rotten inside? Conspiracies, hatred and lies. You tell me the truth but the truth is a lie. Conspiracies, hatred and lies. You tell me the truth but the truth is a lie. Conspiracies, hatred and lies. You tell me the truth but the truth is a lie. You teach me to hate then you make it a crime You plan to control, you kill to provide, How does it feel to be rotten inside? Cauterize these wounds of mine, Stop the bleeding for all time. Exorcise my deepest fears. Save me from this house of mirrors. I am not immune to you, you are not immune to me. I don't recognize this world. Hatred lies conspiracies. You tell me the truth, but the truth is a lie. You teach me to hate, then you make it a crime. You plan to control, you kill to provide, How does it feel to be rotten inside? Conspiracies, hatred and lies. You tell me the truth but the truth is a lie. Conspiracies, hatred and lies. You tell me the truth but the truth is a lie. Conspiracies, hatred and lies. You tell me the truth but the truth is a lie. You teach me to hate then you make it a crime You plan to control, you kill to provide, How does it feel to be rotten inside?

I'm your silent arbiter Making judgments you'll endure I decide your pending fate quietly I'll orchestrate I am the answer in disguise I hold the future of your lives Don't question me or ask me why Feel my silence I'm the silent arbiter Trapped inside my quiet world Never will I see release Forever silence follows me Silence is a friend of mine. Helps me navigate the times. Passing judgment on your lives, I decide who lives or dies. Silence is a friend of mine. Helps me navigate the times. Passing judgment on your lives, I decide who lives or dies. Like a placid referee No emotion comes from me Drawing lines within the sand You must comply to my demands I procure the final word My verdict will not be unheard Feel your rights have been denied Feel my silence I'm the silent arbiter Trapped inside my quiet world Never will I see release Forever silence follows me Silence is a friend of mine. Helps me navigate the times. Passing judgment on your lives, I decide who lives or dies. Silence is a friend of mine. Helps me navigate the times. Passing judgment on your lives, I decide who lives or dies.

In between the anger, the fury, and the spite, I'm full of piss and vinegar, of malice and contempt. The spots I see in front of me are bullet holes of hate. And the carnage that I render is the wrath upon my wake. I'm jaded by tomorrow, because it's promise brings, A detrimental moment, for pain and suffering. My blood begins to boil, and my temperature will rise, and I swear by all that's sacred, that everything will burn. Burn Can you handle my aggression, the energy within, as you speak my condemnation and trigger my distaste. More is the temptation, the nauseating urge, Your proposals aren't just vexing, they are getting on my nerves. Deep inside the system, where corruption rules the day, Double talk and arrogance, and snobbery are king. Here lies my distemper, a twitch I feel throughout. The poison of your ignorance just makes me want to scream. The enemy is all I see whichever way I look. This battlefield for our ideals is constant and absurd. The questions posed but you all know I'm piss and vinegar. The questions posed but this I know I'm piss and vinegar. In between the anger, the fury, and the spite, I'm full of piss and vinegar, of malice and contempt. The spots I see in front of me are bullet holes of hate, and the carnage that I render is the wrath upon my wake.

There's not so many of us now. Not like there were days ago. I remember times have changed. I still see the world of old. Just a handful here remain, to salvage what we left behind. Sorrow haunts these empty shells, and the will to stay alive. The sour rain burns down on us, brings with it a stain of waste. Filth, Filth Tomorrow's dream forever lost, they will never be replaced. Filth, Filth It's the fall of all we are, the end of everything we've made. Filth, Filth The acrid stench as cities rot when they drop their filth grenades. When the filth grenade was thrown, there was a silence you could hear. That dirty bomb consumed it all, contaminates, and stripped us bare. your paper currency is lost Your trades, your stature, and your pride. this detonation shook the earth, and now we struggle to survive. The sour rain burns down on us, brings with it a stain of waste. Filth, Filth Tomorrow's dream forever lost, they will never be replaced. Filth, Filth It's the fall of all we are, the end of everything we've made. Filth, Filth The acrid stench as cities rot when they drop their filth grenades. The things we used to criticize, seem so distant, far away. As we look up to the skies, we can see the end of days. It's darker here now, than it was, We scavenge for a means to be. The sun has set, in filth we lie, Cursed for all eternity. The sour rain burns down on us, brings with it a stain of waste. Filth, Filth Tomorrow's dream forever lost, they will never be replaced. Filth, Filth It's the fall of all we are, the end of everything we've made. Filth, Filth The acrid stench as cities rot when they drop their filth grenades.

It is a mystery, The way you see me. No matter how hard, I try to show you. There's nothing left here, There's no more reason, There's no more spark, There's no more fire. I won't forgive you, So don't you follow. Set your own course, To make things right. Don't make me hate you, Don't make me shudder, You want your own way, Make that your fight. Don't do what I do. Don't do what I say. Don't think how I think. Don't make what I may. Don't live how I live. Don't dream what I dream. Don't hope like I hope. Don't feel like I've felt. Don't love like I've loved, but hate as I will. Don't fight the system, don't be as I am. Don't hurt like I hurt, don't play like I play. Don't bleed like I've bled, you don't want this pain. Don't be like I am, Don't dance like I dance. It starts with yearning, The need inside you, Like embers burning, to be let loose. I've lost that feeling, my head is reeling, my spirits broken, I'm out of time. It won't destroy you, So I implore you, To fight your own fight, To make your way. This time is fleeting, We're all competing, Hold on to something, get through the day. The light is lost, the light is lost, the light is lost, the light is lost, The light is lost, the light is lost, the light is lost, the light is lost Don't do what I do. Don't do what I say. Don't think how I think. Don't make what I may. Don't live how I live. Don't dream what I dream. This light is lost, this light is lost. Don't hope like I hope. Don't feel like I've felt. Don't love like I've loved, but hate as I will. Don't fight the system, don't be as I am. The light is lost, the light is lost. Don't hurt like I hurt, don't play like I play. Don't bleed like I've bled, you don't want this pain. Don't be like I am, Don't dance like I dance. The light is lost, the light is lost. The light is lost, the light is lost, the light is lost, the light is lost, The light is lost, the light is lost, the light is lost, the light is lost
