One Life Not Wasted

The words still ringing in my ears
Walk the streets unable to feel
I’ve learned so much from your life
But it was snatched away and I still can’t hide
Myself from the fact that this world doesn’t care
About my struggles or the losses I bare
The virtuous get washed away
While the pieces of shit make it through unscathed.
When I ask myself
What does this world have left?
It’s full of ignorant humans
Who are better off dead
When I searched to find
What was left
All I found was selfishness
And disrespect
Build your martyr with someone else’s misery
shed crocodile tears to gain sympathy
Can’t escape the heart wrenching pain
And the lack of will to carry on
Motivation is dead when your heroes are gone
A virtuous man in his grave means more to the world than the scum who walk this earth today (One life not wasted)
For one more laugh and the warmth of your embrace I’d put a thousand useless lives in your place
A virtuous man in his grave means more to the world than the scum who walk this earth today (One life not wasted)

The new world conquered by the elite
sword in hand, forced destiny
Look to the past, Our foundation rests
upon the blood soaked dirt and the bones of the oppressed
Push the myth of the American dream
Caste system created by Greed
One nation under the dollar sign and liberty for none.
There's no such thing as justice when it only works for some.
Centuries pass, cries go unheard. Our leaders deaf to this fucking world.
Deaf to this fucking world.
Man pinned against the next, feel the pull the strings,
Tension, hatred
and the violence it brings.
Early grave work guided by
the dying hand of fate
Feed the nation’s addiction
to incarcerate
Vultures Rape, appropriate
the culture of those they oppress.
Displace communities
and call it progress.
Benefiting at others expense
Crooked profit, Columbus effect.
Drown in ignorance.
Stand behind hateful rhetoric and fascist ideology
Instead of change, they'd rather see the strange fruit hanging from the tree.
Can't afford to take care of the poor
Beaten down and ignored
Victim blame, fail to recognize that
Not all bootstraps are the same length.
Broken lives
Paralyzed
Beaten down
Cast aside
Choked to death as we watch our dreams die
World enslaved with no shame
Colorblind and ignorant
The cowards deny Their privilege that gets them further in life
Others Work harder to achieve the same
Oppressed by a system that refuses to change

Toll of Influence (2016)

The cost of sanity in society is solitude
sever ties
We make you believe
We own your culture
We own your freedom to choose
What is real
We have been telling you what to feel
Reclaim
your mind
from consuming all this trash
that's made from the bones
of a dying world.
