Do you ever think about the past, Do you feel empowered or do you just fall right on your ass, The question hangs up in the air above the shattered glass, I wish I could stop thinking about the past, Death seems to be the only thing that lasts. The future is uncertain and the present sucks some unwiped ass, The whole world reeks of unwashed clothes and our dreams have all been dashed, So why waste time be brutal and be crass Don't you ever think that I will look the other way, Never in a million years tomorrow or today, Skin and bone and flesh and brain like river to the sea, The life that falls away from me is now all yours to keep, American appetite, It's been keeping me up at night, But it's the only thing that keeps me alive, Paint your face in different shades and dance around the room, Keep an eye on everything and keep an eye on you, Sever ties with everyone and burn down every bridge, Conquer loss and cut the cost and learn to use your fists, No such thing as a bad time, Shitting on company time, It's what you do to survive, See how many drugs that I can fit inside my brain, See how many people now are drowning in the rain See how many tortured souls have come along too late, See how you and I have gone from happy to irate, American appetite, It's been keeping me up at night, But it's the only thing that keeps me alive, Never thought the cold, Could feel so warm, Never thought this bed of nails could, Comfort my old soul, My mind it wanders like a lost dog in the woods, I know that I didn’t do everything I could, All this laziness has earned me the place I am, Wasting away in this old room I always find such peace in, I can still remember the last time I felt truly happy oh, It wasn’t so long ago, What changed about me, How can I go back home, But home is not a place it’s a feeling you get when you know, You’re not alone, You don’t have to be alone,

Burning cop cars collecting daydreams, Building communes spreading the memes, Scaring the liberals with AR-15s, And I’m still alive like Jeffrey Epstein, Autobots assemble, Anti authoritarian assholes, Form the axis of anti evil, Behead the king before his people, Watering the tree of liberty, Like libertarians before the 60’s, Right wingers love to larp about the boog, But get scared when the people riot and loot, I can guarantee you that, If anything changes it is in fact, Because of the ones rioting who act, In defiance of the system that’s fed them crap, Tucker Carlson, Thinks we should all calm down, I think we should seize the means and spread the real wealth around, I know it isn’t popular, To democrats and republicrats, Which is why we should set them on fire, And stop negotiating with rats, It’s folk punk as fuck to defend yourselves, As one voice we all chant fuck 12, And escape to the rebel underground, And dead fascists can’t make a sound, Punk jaywalking anarchist, Walking down the street raising a fist, Pop your face like a gooey fucking cyst, So if you shoot you best not miss, Joe Scarborough, Thinks we should all calm down, I think we should seize the means and spread the real wealth around, I know it isn’t popular, To democrats and republicrats, Which is why we should set them on fire, And stop negotiating with rats,

Now we see the rising fire, Let the smoke rise ever higher, Let it burn for the whole world to see, Tell me one good fucking reason, Why it shouldn’t be open season, Time for me to treat you the way you treat me, Don’t forget that it’s you vs. the blue, Don’t turn your comrades in like a fool, Cause if you let it happen to them it will eventually happen to you, I’m only calling for justice, But in the end it’s just us, The state was never your friend, I don’t feel even slightly badly, When they throw bricks at your cars so madly, In fact i think it’s rather grand, Don’t forget that it’s you vs. the blue, Don’t turn your comrades in like a fool, Cause if you let it happen to them it will eventually happen to you, I will not mourn for you, I’ll mourn the lives you’ve ruined, You are the strong arm of the law, A law that isn’t natural, They say only love can vanquish hate, I say that love has to be earned, They say make America great, I say make America burn, You know exactly what you did to them. Don’t you ever play the victim, You know what you are you liar pig, You say that you’re just following orders, Which makes you stupid fucking cowards, Fucking burn it all to a fucking crisp

All On You 03:42
I search but cannot find, I see but I am blind, I don’t know what that means but someday I will, I wish I didn’t care for you, I wish that this was never true, I want to leave this place but I don’t think I ever will, I don’t want to fall in love again, God I hate this life I’m living, I don’t want to see the light in you, I want to see the dark in me, And blame it all on you, The more things change, The more they stay the same, Although I’ve seen it all it never ceases to amaze me, X2 I will not see you, You didn’t want me to, One day I’ll move on but today I choose to live in this, I don’t think this is really love, It’s just infatuation, People like me have a hard time making that distinction, I’m tired of my own self pity, I know it doesn’t help me to sit here and cry, It’s hard to accept when you’re not ready, If I latch on to you and you to me I might just ruin your life (chorus) IF I LATCH ON TO YOU, I WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE (chorus) The more things change the more they stay the same, I don't know what that means but someday I will

Storm Clouds, Forming above me, Can you see the forest for the trees, Deny, Turn a blind eye, Surely there’s others more fit to decide, Give the reins, To the ones who got us here in the first place, The haves, The have not’s. Give it time and equally we all rot, Dreaming, Of how it could be, You see the writing on the wall but choose not to believe, Finding, Comfort in fantasy, Leading us unto singularity, Hand of fate, Can we stop it or is it too late, Hold on, To this idea you’re sold on, Don’t let reality get in your way Never will you have this again, Go back to where you began, You now return to the sand, It was never yours it’s out of your hands x2

There shall be weeping, And gnashing of teeth, American bombs from American planes destroy unamerican dreams, A fascist state, Spewing forth it’s fire, Building apartheid, Bow before your heir, Clear the land, By my god’s command, Reclaim the sand, Lay waste to every woman and man, The cries of children mean nothing, As long as they are not one of us, Send them packing send them running, Return to ashes return to dust Send them to hell, That my children may dwell, Upon their graves, The ethnostate has been made, Mountains of bodies, Rivers of blood, We float within our ark upon the flood, Raining bullets, Hailing bombs, Destroying verses, Defying psalms

So what the fuck do i do, The only one i want to talk to is you, I don’t know if it’s awkward to write a song about you this fast but, Here it goes Cause I don’t know what to do to keep from falling on my ass, I’ve never been good at writing love songs, I usually only write fucking it up songs, Cause all I usually do is fuck things up for myself, But fuck it this songs for you cause I don’t got nobody else, Please let me know, As soon as you can, When you’re around, I’ll be waiting to be the man, To pick you up when you fall down, And turn you back around, I’ll keep you up off the ground, I don’t have much to do, Except beat this guitar and blow out my voice just trying to tell you, You matter and you’re unique and I think you’re really cool, I hope this shit ain’t too cheesy I’m afraid to look like a tool, We all have our problems, I know for fucking sure I got lots of em, I can’t work miracles but that won’t stop me from trying to, Cause all I’ve really got left for me is you, Please let me know, As soon as you can, When you’re around, I’ll be waiting to be the man, To pick you up when you fall down, And turn you back around, I’ll keep you up off the ground,

We’re gonna take your revolution repackage it and sell it back to you, With endorsements from Walmart Redbull Bayer and Mountain Dew, I want to go into an early grave from eating too much sugary crap I don't wanna change the world it's forbidden in my contract I sold my soul to a record label Don't make it shorter than 3 minutes that's too short, And don't get to thoughtful with your lyrics it limits the scope of your audience And if they're never challenged they're never wrong, It's Family friendly corporate punk, With reservations at denny’s and a mind full of junk If you're feeling down don't try too hard, Just eat another burger watch TV and listen to our Family friendly corporate punk I’ve been transformed from a man to a machine by a soulless industry, Which cares more about profits than humanity, But who gives a shitty shred of a shit I just want your money, I only care about real world issues when there’s something trending on fucking twitter, Ain’t it funny, I just wanna get on TV, I’ve already eaten three babies, Fill me up with all that is empty, Give me your parents money Capitalism! It's Family friendly corporate punk, With reservations at denny’s and a mind full of junk If you're feeling down don't try too hard, Just eat another burger watch TV and listen to our Family friendly corporate punk

I want to forget everything, Take the ball and chain of these memories off my leg, I want to be a better member of society, But this world was never made for me, I want to know what life is, I want to know what freedom is like, I want to feel excited, And stop feeling afraid to go outside, I want a life so much better than this, I want to know that I matter, Sometimes I wish that I could be skinny, Sometimes I wish I was fatter, I wish I didn’t need therapy, To keep my mind on track and my feet out of the fire, I wish I could escape this noose we call living, That only ever gets tighter, I speak no lies when I say, This planet is on a course for destruction, I see the proof every day, The great doomsday will seize the means of reproduction, And I just wish I didn’t have to see it happen, But oh boy did we earn this Looking back on all the mistakes we made, You’ll realize we deserve this,
