Intro/Trenches

Inside of me is an angel and a demon
And every fucking day is a constant fight between them
I live my life and try and keep my focus
But it's hard not to choke in a fucking swarm of locusts
Of walking-talking egos as far as I can see
The world's at odds against a guy like me
But this alienation is the price I pay to be free
I won't lose my spine I won't waste my time
My eye's grow sore man, they see too much
I see dreams die, I see minds collect dust
I'm just a mind, but the only fucking mind that I can trust
There is no freedom in that life of shitty feelings and pointless nights
I need some light to see, I need some air to breathe
So I can surf the wave of uncertainty
And if I should crash may I not fall asleep
And just become another motherfucking brain-dead sheep
I'll leave everything behind for what a clear mind brings
With new blood coursing through my veins I'll find strength to see
Decisions decisions in this life I must make
Gotta keep it together to find my own way
God knows what I will find in the deepest trenchs of my mind

Purchase Personality

I ain't got much but that's more than you got
Piece of mind that could never be bought
You're just a stupid fool, you're just a fucking tool
And all I want to be in life is fucking everything that you're not
Just so oblivious to the fact that you're stuck wearing a fucking mask
You couldn't figure out who the fuck you are
So caught up in hiding scars upon scars
I'm trapped in a world of insecurity
Nobody likes what they fucking see
You've got to look more than skin deep to find the person you oughta be
You wanted to find yourself all you found was an excuse
Just a borrowed personality that's already been used
You lowered your standards, you cracked under the pressure
Mediocrities a bitch why would you try and impress her
I make my own decisions for bad or for good
Accepted the sacrifice that I'll be misunderstood
But in a world like this you can blend in or stand out
Kneel to someone else or hold you're own higher ground
Compromise is suicide to all the things that I hold dear
I won't ever fucking settle or give into that fear
Your fucking front may have worked on someone else's eyes
but motherfucker I can see right through your hollow disguise
Now you're a slave to the personality you put up
Never thinking past the confines of your front
Trapped in the cage of your status quo
Trying to fit a mold you'll never be able to grow
If you're ever going to feel free, you've got to stop holding onto that shit
Swallow your pride and fucking just let go
You don't believe in anything besides your own self-doubt
Living for nothing what the fuck is your life about
This life made you a loser now you're so desperate to win
You've got to find a way to fit into your own fucking skin
I know we all have a right to a point of view
But I will never be judged by the fucking likes of you
How could you understand me when you can't understand yourself

No Substance

Another stock in the market, another sheep in the flock
I feel no fucking substance has I stare at the clock
There's got to be something more, something to fight for
I won't just be another number, I'm looking for something more
Poisoned youth raised in a world so hollow
Part of a rat race I refuse to follow
But you never cared because you never thought twice
You let ignorance become you're greatest vice
Sentenced by society just to stand in line
You're so fucking unaware there's so much more to life
Is this hollow dream all that you can perceive
Goddamn I just wish you could see the fucking things I see
Not a slave to the radio you're a slave to your scene
Not a slave to the streets you're a slave to a machine
Open your eyes, see through the lies
There's more to this life than what it fucking seems
You've got no fucking substance
Does it strike you with fear to hear something sincere
I'll do whatever it takes to get this message to your ear
If you're playing somebody else you can't think for yourself
Smash your TV stop listening and just fucking wake up
