The Cost

In a cutthroat time, who the fuck can we really blame?
Do we starve ourselves or just turn a blind eye?
So when the price is cheap, what the fuck does that really mean?
Inherited wealth built on the backs of slaves.
They're getting rich while we exploit each other.
They keep it all, we make pennies off of every dollar.
So when the price is cheap, what the fuck does that really mean?
Inherited wealth built on the backs of slaves
If you wanted savings this is what you fucking get.
The poor exploit the poor and the rich just get fucking rich.
We're at their mercy, hunger turns morality and desperation.

This Time Around
02:16
|

You put yourself on a pedestal.
A foundation built so high on an ego thats false.
So when the legs cave in from the weight of your head.
No one will be there for you, just self reflection instead.
And I cant help you.
This time around what you need is tough love.
Everything you know came crashing down, and I cant help you.
This time around.

Stuck

What can you do you when you're stuck in a rut?
Not easy to think when there's excess thoughts.
Manipulation hidden through emotions,
Some bonds were meant to be broken.
Not so easy to cut them off when it's someone meant to stay.
A prisoner of my own mind, I guess its better this way.
The guilt I carry, its weight shatters my bones.
Maybe its better this way; a thousand miles from home.

A Year of Loss
01:41

If not love lost, then its love thats been taken from me.
I don't expect you to know how its been weighing down on me.
It's been a whole year of loss, but it what it is.
No use in searching for a reaching hand from a world that doesn't know you exist.
The worlds at large.
You think you're the only one that matters?
The world wont stop spinning when hearts are shattered.
It's been a whole year of loss, but it is what it is.
I used to search for a silver lining but now i just don't give a shit.
I used to search for that reaching hand from strangers I don't even know.
Everyone's got enough on their plate, you gotta make it on your own.
These times are tough and swallowing pride goes down like a knife,
but you're gonna fend on your own for the rest of your life.
When we were kids we had it all someone was there to give us insight,
but decades later its just us; nobody cares or knows that you're alive.

Leech
02:30

If I look into the mirror, I'm scared at what I'll see.
Reminisce of the past draining every inch of me.
So with conflict I just shut down, trying my best to hide how I felt .
Keep my distance make myself uneasy to read.
I won't be victim to my own feelings.
Keep my distance make myself uneasy to read.
I won't become pray to any fucking leech.
So when my ribs cave in and I can barely breathe.
I'll find comfort in a false reality.
If I look inwards I'm scared at what I'll see.
I won't be victim to my own feelings.
If look inwards I'm scared at what I'll see.
I won't become pray to any fucking leech.
Like a leech.

Sinking Blade

How can one control what they can’t relate?
Always first speak about the oppression that was never faced.
Their greed spreads through internalized hate.
Leaving a blade sinking in our financial state.
Society's compassion disappears more day to day.
Peace will never exist in a capitalist place.
