Scorn 03:40
Restricting your rhetoric Every phrase pre-determined Word by word in unison You all give the same sermon Simple minds think alike Every sheep needs a guide So you abide by the lowest common denominator Why do you feel obliged to sacrifice substance for common ground? Honesty outweighs artifcial scorn But tilting at windmills seems so much easier Than giving in to the fact that you live life without concern Restricting your rhetoric Every phrase predetermined Word by word in unison You all give the same sermon Simple minds think alike Every sheep needs a guide So you abide by the lowest common denominator If they truly cared about making a difference How has it been all these years and the only complaint that remains is about the lack of change? Fed up with your artificial scorn Give in to the fact that you live life without concern
2.
You carry yourself as if raising the same old questions would be the same as creating change Comforting yourself with the thought that your observations could initiate a change for the better Pointing fingers Does not equal a helping hand With all due respect - is it worth rehashing old arguments If you lack the depth to offer a new solution? So quick to point out insufficiencies There is no blame, just the wish for you to stop pretending You carry yourself as if In order to be a part of this You'd be bound to deliver the same old story No safe haven without turning waves And you don't see at all How your projections Reflect disaffection With yourself
3.
Defense 04:32
I can see the irony In going on about complaining Your complete lack of self-awareness Is what seperates you from me Twisting the world Until it fits in with your simple minded opinions Regardless of inconsistencies To search for the culprit You should ask yourself what you stand for Trying to put everyone on the defense Demanding perfection of everyone but yourself I can see irony In going on about complaining Moving on from past projections Turn around and bounce back Twisting the world Until it fits in with your simple minded opinions Regardless of inconsistencies Trying to put everyone on the defense Demanding perfection of everyone but yourself
4.
Fraternized in self-imposed exclusion A brigade of privileged hypocrites You would rather fabricate complication Than own up to the easy path your life has taken Their biggest fear is to be rejected So they all play along Isn't it disturbing that they tell you to fulfill yourself yet expect you to sing their same old song? They pride themselves on non-conformity but want you to be led on They will lead you on I won't kneel to a speech that forces me to agree Fraternized in self-imposed exclusion A brigade of privileged hypocrites You built up a facade to hide behind But anxiety sprouts from the inside
5.
Powerless, depressed self-hating and full of regrets A sense of inferiority Suffering from neglect Mirrored in those you deem Weak, defeated Autonomy lost Missing the inner sense of confidence in your ability to solve your own problems Striving to be a voice for the voiceless regardless of your lack of involvement Powerless, depressed self-hating and full of regrets A sense of inferiority Autonomy lost [Deprived of all distress Too dependent on the fear of a threat Bleak constructs meant to harvest compassion Thriving on a martyr's complex] Striving to be a voice for the voiceless regardless of your lack of involvement Trapped inside a chamber of echoes
6.
You're wrong You won't see me fall For your farce and your indoctrination So vain yet so thin-skinned No compromise for appreciation, no dumbing down Your self-rigtheousness will drag you to the ground They will follow wherever the stream goes Swimming in sewage will only get you so far You're treading water and fail to see That you spoiled the ship for a hap'orth of tar You're wrong You won't see me fall To misguidance and compromise Just to fit an outworn pattern Emerald waves run dry Stranded by the tide Emerald waves run dry Stranded by the tide Exposing rotten structure At the bottom of the river
