Raging Bull

Mean what you say and say what you mean
Now you've got me tripping on thee strings
Strings that tug at my every nerve
Controlling my actions and my words
Cause' when the raging bull's got you it's got ahold of your head
Can't fucking see straight when all you see is red
Past pains still sink their teeth into me
But I can't let these scars decide how I'm gonna be
The things you do burn me like a fuse
But I refuse to be dragged down by you
Won't let your bullshit get to my head
You know all I need some kind of escape
To get my mind off all these fucking things
I'm no ones puppet you can watch me cut these strings
Letting go of past mistakes
Leave behind the wasted rage
With new hope (for better days)

Fools Gold

Your eyes have been monopolized
Your ears bought and sold
You ate shit and now it's set your standards
When will all of this grow old?
Can't reward greed with my respect
I'm sorry but I'm just not fucking impressed
Decked in excess but what does it provide?
Boasted and gift wrapped with nothing inside
You'll never grow content with such an absent mind
Maybe if you could just get over your fake ass pride
You might finally find the eyes to see
How much of you is in shit that you don't need
Ugly girl with a pretty face
Knowing nothing but how to manipulate
You may think you glow like a shining star
But I can always see you and your kind for what you truly are
Can't put a fucking price on my head
You will never put a (price on my head)
The things you own, have robbed you blind
But you will never put a price on my head
You will never put a price on my head
When all your gold is fools gold

Closed Reality

Can't we put our differences aside
When different minds can still see eye to eye
Cause' in the end we're all full of shit
Nobody's perfect, unless you're living a fucking lie
I just can't fucking believe that you refuse to understand
While your pointing fingers with your dirty hands
I never said I was perfect, I'm so fucking far from it
But this is my own life and I'm not sweating your shit
TO EACH HIS FUCKING OWN
So quick to judge someone else
Just to avoid looking back at yourself
So tell me why should I waste my time
Trying to dive into the shallow waters of your unopen mind
If You can't see me
Then I can't see you
What are you trying to hide
What are you trying to prove
Don't expect me to apologize
When you could never take the time to fucking see my side

So sorry man
So sorry for the cards that you've been dealt
But there's no time to live with regret
While there's still time to change yourself
Looking at yourself through their eyes
Too blind to see what you've compromised
Open up to see the truth
So when negativity fogs you can see right through
Cause' in this life you gotta know when to persue,
Lost opportunities from fear of something new
Recognize the path you must take,
No regrets just live for you no matter what the fuck it takes
Because you will never see the light hiding in the shadows of someone else
And you will never truly live life if you can't be yourself
So don't let this world fucking hold you back
Open the hands of your clenched fist
Reach out and grab whatever matters the most
And just don't let go
(reach out) and grab this life for your own
(rise up) above faking on a stage
These are your finest days, it's time to (turn a page)
Know yourself, know this world
To find the strength to not let it's crooked ways hold you back
Growing up in a world where we're destined to lose
About all we got left is control of our attitude

Minds Eye

Plugged in yet disconnected
Wisdom outsourced by the information age
Something always does our thinking for us
We've forgotten how to use our brains
Barren minds, and lost ambitions
With nothing here to make us fucking feel whole
If you lead a life with a head so empty
You'll let deception fill the gaps in your soul
Society
What the fuck have you done to me?
Raised to believe
Broadcast bullshit here on every screen
Tuned to their beat
Deaf to the reality in our own streets
I guess you gotta be fucking asleep
To somehow see their american dream
The only truth you'll find is the truth inside
Don't live the lie, open (your minds eye)
21 years in a world of fake
Accepting the fact that I just have no place
I've can run but I can't hide
From all these things eating me up inside
So for now I'm spilling my guts
Before this world swallows my heart
I know it's hard to think in these fast changing times
But it's not how much but what you do with your time
This world will drain the life from your veins
Never let this spark of youth fade away
Concrete walls to hide their lies
A wall of screens to drain our lives
And every year the line draws closer
But I'm still searching for substance in this modern enclosure

No Substance

Another Stock in the market, another sheep in the flock
I feel no fucking substance as I stare at the clock
There's gotta be something more, something to fight for
I won't 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 your 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 in your ear
If you're playing someone else, you can't think for yourself
Smash your TV stop listening and just fucking WAKE UP
