Intro 01:21
2.
Force fed your identity Take off your mask you're not unique Can't speak, you're drowning Made astray with your own two feet Find the poison that's killing me Wake me from this endless sleep Born lost, unclean Sick of everything I see Blind to yourself, sick of everything I see Let's see you speak with my fist through your teeth No sense in apologies I want you to see what I see What my worlds come to be
3.
Surrounded by people in disguise And no one seems to see it through my eyes Let's just face the facts Snake in the grass I see through your act I'm sick of living through this life Surrounded by all these petty lies Transparent you can't run or hide Held down by your binding ties You're a servant to deceptive claims No way to numb the pain So, flock following sheep All you do is preach Bred to follow the herd Frauds like you stick together Satisfied following lies
4.
Excuse 01:47
An average life I don't want to lead Destroy the cycle of how it used to be Objectified through your power and greed Striving to satisfy your twisted needs Fight against the people that make an excuse That neglect the ones battered and brusied A nation built from hate in the past A rocky foundation not meant to last We can see their flaws But they refuse to change It's in our hands Put them in their place Smash it - the assumed role Oppressors made to understand Single those fucking cowards out and cast them down Cast them down
5.
Serving a life that's neglecting mine Something you'll never see eye to eye You're living beyond privilege to your life Stripping away their most basic rights Accuse, abuse, victimize Torment that you'll never recognize Never known a life of pain Never walked a path so strained The same old thinking the same old ways When will you change your sense of mind Who's the one taking all the blame It's your obligation to realize There's no reason, when your backs to the wall What will you do when your old views fall
6.
Blind to the world around you Open your eyes and seek some truth You're following society Why why why Can't you see You compromise morality Now you're lost for eternity Tainting your future Wallow in shame Taking no action Living in vain Blind to the world around you Open your eyes and seek some truth You're following society Why why why Can't you see You compromise morality Now you're lost for eternity Trapped inside your ways One day you'll pay You've got it twisted You're sick in the head It's about time For a reality check
