they gave me an example just a sliver of a sample something for me to go on something to believe a simple explanation a quick manipulation that was how it started that's how they got me i've stopped understanding it feels so, so undermining i don't know what they want from what do they want from they want from me i cannot breathe i cannot breathe inside the pyramid i had my own expectations once upon a time that every step i take wouldn't be a step behind they laid out our limitations and we're supposed to obey them to step out on our own would be to betray them codependent, not independent codependent, not independent codependent inside the pyramid there's no room to grow there's only room for one at the top there's no room to grow there's only room for one at the top

Concerns 03:12
i've got concerns look away, look away no one's listening to what we say their eyes are on us all they know our every move we created the technology that they abuse aren't you getting worried even in the least we're all lined up now to be part of the feast they've got our information they're working on a plan to make us all dependent on them no more free thinking no more free enterprise they fill our heads with threats and bully us with lies i've got concerns that if we all turn away, turn away we won't have anyone but ourselves to blame i've got concerns i'm not joking about the state of affairs yet to be broken aren't you getting worried even in the least we've all lined up now to be part of the feast

"leave me alone" i'm screaming can't you see i'm dreaming living a lie, the truth is dying peace and love there's no use trying gripping the truth has left you scarred purity of your soul has been marred believing the worst, hoping for the best a fucking waste of time, it's time to leave the nest believing the worst, hoping for the best a fucking waste of time, it's time to leave the nest you must learn responsibility to destroy your creativity your identity has become a number forget your name, learn your number your identity has become a number forget your name, learn your number move like a robot, move like a rerun forget about the past, forget about fun yesterday is beginning to look like today time has passed you by and now you are gray ride the subway like sheep the slaughterhouse used to be a lion but now you are a mouse the light in your eyes is gone you don't even know what's going on the light in your eyes is gone you don't even know what's going on your identity has become a number forget your name, learn your number your identity has become a number forget your name, learn your number

Meaningless 05:15
i have seen the distinct light of pretentious breathed the stale stench of repetitious created impossible barriers amended my personal constitutions and i still couldn't tell you what i've found no i still couldn't tell you what i've found too many minutes of my life have been wasted by people like you who have demonstrated time stands still when you have no watch and i haven't the time to fuck around no making something big from something small you were too frail to take that fall feeling like you've lost it all you've lost nothing at all something bad that was once so great something turned a love into a hate you pout and whine your days away a part of your life has been erased

Power Slide 01:55
tight rein harness ride full on skull tide pull back bite down bend down turn around it can be a power slide for the one on the inside you've given up broken down turned around and came around split second knee jerk spastic twitch blood perk whipped hard beat red fall limp half dead split second knee jerk

In Your Head 04:03
there will come a time when all your dreams disappear and your life will seem to serve no purpose all your hopes will be washed away someday soon, perhaps today you see yourself go through the motions someone else is pulling your strings like worthless junk floating in a ocean watch your master make you dance and sing the sun will not shine, no winds will blow nothing seems to work anymore the sun will not shine, no winds will blow nothing seems to work anymore gone like waste filth feeling sick trapped, walls surround me lost, no one's found me hell i made for myself trapped, walls surround me lost, no one's found me god laughs at me hell trapped lost god

New Apostles 07:02
three men drove a truck in the night each of them toting a staff devising a plan of deviant suppression urgent resurgent mental detergent flashing red lights of the brain police patrol cars spewing molten thoughts a cargo clashing configurations spitting forth through a megaphone: YOU CAN'T CONTROL THIS WE CONTROL YOU WE ARE THE NEW APOSTLES brown church red school clean minds plus conformity minus conscience equals happy healthy content human sheep
