Fragile existence, Life drained down, Pressure tested, No coming back around. Time stands still, Nothing seems to change, wishes of death fill the air, as the absence of light forever prevails. Confined - My mind plays tricks on me Depression Aggression Need to Self-Destruct Social Disjunction, Perception Distorted, Isolation, Mind Corroded. Accursed affliction, No escape, Silent screams of anguish, Existential despair. Confined - My mind plays tricks on me Depression Aggression Need to Self-Destruct
2.
Immersed in a twisted reality, My present seems so distant from me, Cold sweat and itching, The nightmare just begins. Distorted perception, Self-Diagnosed to escape pain, Over the counter medication, Anything that can fix me. Need to wake up, Need to sleep, There's a solution, Dose up and go deep. Force-fed, Fear induced, Lunar Eternity. My heartbeat rises, I can't seem to go numb, Saw the AD on the TV, Scared of what I've become. My health is their profit, Their business, my life, An industry designed to help, Slowly poisoning me until I die. Need to lose weight, Need to focus, Can't recognize myself, Gotta take another dose. Force-fed, Fear induced, Lunar Eternity.

Common Sense 04:04
Servants of an ideology, An unfortunate reality of trust, Disproven time and time again, This fallacy has been foisted on us. Women are kidnapped, murdered and raped, it's just a matter of time, Living became their survival game, Society waiting for the last one to die. Open your eyes, Common Sense is a lie. Children are born and abandoned, Emotionally Restrained, Numb and unloved, Disconnected from themselves. Blind faith reigns, hypocrites and deities, Wolves and sheep, Feeding their supremacy. Open your eyes, Common Sense is a lie. Drown the mind of the citizens in a sea of irrelevance, Addiction and depression, Mindless and pleasured existence Reality testing has started, A contradictory set of beliefs, Our perception is twisted, A fearful state of deceit
4.
I am nobody, I am everyone, I live inside your head. I am a silent voice, I am a virus, I am all your angsts. Your silence is betrayal, Living is resistance, Trapped! Barred existence! A model life, Living in denial, No choice, No human rights. A "perfect world" A "perfect structure" I over Us, I am nothing in your culture. Your silence is betrayal, Living is resistance, Trapped! Barred existence!
5.
The same tyrants are in power, A new chapter has begun, Same faces, different lies, With false promises they take control, With hatred they run our countries, Their military we fear, Putting numbers on our backs, Their pockets get filled. Am I poor enough to be on your agenda? Am I sick enough to be saved? Am I straight enough to have rights? False democracy! Falsehood and repetition, Truth is nowhere to be found, Pre-made decisions, Our options they devour. A silent massacre still at large, Sickness without cure, Poison is fed to us day to day, Our blood has tainted the truth! Am I poor enough to be on your agenda? Am I sick enough to be saved? Am I straight enough to have rights? False democracy!

Color Blind 04:21
Run in streets covered in filth, We´re terrorized by charlatans, Our kids will have no one else to play with, Betrayed by our kind. Pollution of ignorance, Lack of accountability, A society built by their pain and our hate, Corporations with growing profitability A history of violence, Acknowledge and respect, Wake up, We've become colorblind. We are all complicit in this tragedy, we are witnesses and murderers, Killed by our own apathy, We're not masters, just servants. Racist minds rule our countries, With their own agendas they divide, Religions drive insanity, By their hand they seek our demise. A history of violence, Acknowledge and respect, Wake up, We've become colorblind.
7.
When does my life begin and yours end? Why do I fear being alive? How can you live with yourself? You have taken away my rights! Castles made of sand, Your society will crumble, Your finger pulled the trigger, My blood is on your hands. Division and hatred, You spread disease, Your time will come, We will strike as one. Propaganda on the media, False promises and lies, You feed off racism and bigotry, I will feed off your demise. Poison infects our children, Their lives are being compromised, Prejudice and discrimination, Blinds follow the blind. Division and hatred, You spread disease, Time will come, we will strike as one. Your structures built up high, Harder they will fall, My finger now is on the trigger, There´s no one else you can call! Division and hatred, You spread disease, Your time will come, We will strike as one.
8.
Disposable 04:29
Our lives have been stolen, Taken away from us, Modern day slavery, Living lives we can't afford. Break your back for minimum wage, Work 40 years more, Retirement looks so far ahead, Institutionalized since the day that you were born. Birth, grow, reproduce and die Preconceived to consume, Complete cycle of life. No real emotion, No real love, No real connections, Superficial scum. Nobody cares, No one listens, Willful Ignorance, Polarization. Birth, grow, reproduce and die Preconceived to consume, Complete cycle of death.

about

Common Sense is a term that is used for "good judgement in practical matters" but the reality is that, there's no such thing as common sense. People can't come to an agreement on the easiest things so, how can we say that such a thing exists? Everybody is different and each head is a whole new world.
