The More Things Change

You stabbed me in the back over a sliver
A feeling i have been betrayed
Both hands broken together
Clenching fists cause the rage

It comes in spades
From a life of pain
I don't care 'cause i don't give a fuck
It tears a path right through me

A systematic vision of survival
A struggle i alone engage
Tension burning inside me
Blood so sweet cause revenge

It comes in spades
From a life of pain
I don't care 'cause i don't give a fuck
It tears a path right through me

Revenge is mine
Suffering divine
Fractures break through bone
Frustration won't let go

Filled with lead and
Dumped into the river
And buried in a shallow grave
Both hands broken together
Clenching fists cause the rage

It comes in spades
From a life of pain
I don't care 'cause i don't give a fuck
It tears a path right through me

Bitterness infested,
Justice is molested
Govern my contested ways
As a child arrested,
As a man detested
Happiness inside my pain

You hate my life
Because you see my strife
Could never understand or try
It makes me mad
Because it makes me sad
But i don't care why

You fake it, mistake it
Fuck it away
Your lying is trying
My dignity

I see right through your soul
Can't help but feel this cold
But this city made me so

Life filled with deception,
Unwanted inception
Want redemption for it all
All my life
Frustrated, pushed, alienated
Wait for me to take a fall

My faith has waned
Because i feel the strain
In my eyes it's all gone wrong
We'll rise above
From this lack of love
It won't be long now

You fake it, mistake it
Fuck it away
Your lying is trying
My dignity

I see right through your soul
Can't help but feel this cold
But this city made me so

I'm not the only one
Can't be the only one

No

I am the thing that makes you sick
I am the blame that gets placed quick
Detect the crack within your lie (your lie)

I'll be the wrath of your disdain
I'll be the fear in you engrained
Become the facts that you deny (deny)

I can feel this pain is real
I hate deep down inside
And like broken glass you'll shatter
With bloody fists i'll batter
Like a ten ton hammer, son

1'll be the trembling in your breath
Trickle of blood upon your flesh
You'd love to watch me take the fall - fall!

I'll be the thing that you despise
'cause i'm the path to your demise
And i'm a be there standing tall - tall!

I can feel this pain is real
I hate deep down inside
And like broken glass you'll shatter
With bloody fists i'll batter
Like a ten ton hammer, son

I can't stand or take another day my friend
You could learn a thing or two
I can't stand or take another day my friend
You could learn a thing or two

I can feel this pain is real
I hate deep down inside
And like broken glass you'll shatter
With bloody fists i'll batter
Like a ten ton hammer, son

And i watched
Through bitter eyes
As the blood filled
In the cracks, black
A burning effigy
Told me i should
Kneel 'cause

I'm worshipping
With terror, a disease
Bum the sacred oil

Chorus:
They told us
There'd never come a day
They told us that
We need not worry
So we fucked around, thought
This shit would change
And turned our eyes away

I am the power siege
And the rush you
Will feel, thrill
Exploding out of me
Through clenched
Teeth i will scream out

We're suffering
With malice you deceive
Puke sold as salvation

They told us
There'd never come a day
They told us that
We need not worry
So we fucked around, thought
This shit would change
And turned our eyes away

Lead: logan

And i watched it slip away
And you watched it slip away
And we watched it slip away

'cause no one took a stand

A blind man asked an angel
Could you please help
But was told
Take me from this altar
I won't falter
But i might fall

This bitter man would understand
Through all his life,
A needle had
Been his saviour,
Been his god
So he tried to make a change
Tried to rearrange
Gun at his side,
Suicide

I can't help feel i been mistreated
Won't you listen to me

Chorus:
Despise all that i see
All that i feel
All that i want to be
Burned, blistered and raw
Tearing apart
All that is sane to me

A wise man half pariah
Half messiah
Came to seed
Rain down blood like fire
Born to sire
Racist breed

His dominance of ignorance
Was rhetoric that made no sense
Some believed in all the lies
But in my mind i know what's wrong
Way too fucking strong
Taste the revenge on my tongue

I can't help feel i been mistreated
Won't you listen to me

Despise all that i see
All that i feel
All that i want to be
Burned, blistered and raw
Tearing apart
All that is sane to me

[spoken part]

And now is my time to rise
And now is our time to rise
Our time to rise

Ignorant, indignant
Promises made in
Vain

Rise, i can't see like you
Rise, i can't feel like you
Rise, never be like you
Rise, time for all us to
Rise...
