Trapped 02:19
Trapped in a life stricken with pain. It’s not what you envisioned it being. Played the role. Lost control. Society pushed. Now your back is against the wall. Fallen helpless to systematic pressure. Trusted the road to paradise was flawless. Beaten. You might as well face it nothing is changing. You’re fighting a battle, it’s endless, with no way out. Defeated dreams now disowned. You clench to your sanity a single hope. All alone. Shattered soul. You’ve cried so hard all the tears are gone. Fallen helpless to systematic pressure. Trusted the road to paradise was flawless. Beaten. You might as well face it nothing is changing. You’re fighting a battle, it’s endless, with no way out. You’re broken. Fed up. Pressed your luck. It’s no use. Dug your grave. In demise. Drowning in self-destruction. A product of social repression. Hands are tied. In darkness you struggle. Trapped inside this life you can’t win.

Round and round you go again with the same archaic story. At the cost of my disdain you insult, discount, my outlook. Bound by what you think holy you impose your judgment on me because I choose not to believe in fictional illusion. Round and round again, the thought control continues on a population of feeble brainwashed people. Conditioned to believe their god will save them and willing to kill to attain salvation. Can’t you see through the conning, the mission of deception? Formed to enslave and control instilling blind submission. Teaching lies and preaching hate, through religious propaganda. Bred to slay down the unsaved for righteous exaltation. To pursue equality, and for peaceful coexistence, let’s respect autonomy. Dissent should not be a hindrance. No matter what we believe, we should embrace acceptance and not push conformity on to others that are different. Round and round again, the thought control continues on a population of feeble brainwashed people. Conditioned to believe their god will save them and willing to kill to attain salvation.

Who is watching you, who is tracking you? Products of a digital age. Who is watching you, who is mining you? Saving every action you take. Who is watching you, who is profiling you? Inspecting every move you make. Who is watching you, who is controlling you? Living on a virtual stage. All fall down. All fall down. All fall down. We all fall down. Who is watching you, who is misleading you? Blinded by a technology race. Who is watching you, who is deceiving you? Adverting you in cyberspace. Who is watching you, who is exploiting you? Profiting off the powerless prey. Who is watching you, who is coercing you? Clouding the desire for change. All fall down. All fall down. All fall down. We all fall down. Who is watching you, who is surveying you? Underneath the government’s gaze. Who is watching you, who is policing you? Render a succession of slaves. Who is watching you, who is disillusioned you? Convincing you this is okay. Who is watching you, who is suppressing you? As your freedom is uploaded away.

Reunify 01:39
Lie after lie, another war is staged. Life upon life, another war is waged. Dire days will come proving we can’t live as one. There is fear of terror, nations at arms, bombs for peace, guns for power. Killing one by one. Dying for freedom. The Third World War is knocking at the door. The ‘New World Order’ is moving forward. Ask yourself, “Why we fight. What’s the price of human life?” Reunify War after war, we’re divided by hate. Day upon day, empathy decays. Dire days will come proving we can’t live as one. The time is now to take a stance against all war and for true freedom. Object and refuse to fight. Show respect for human life. Reunify

Amoral 02:34
An image shown on the T.V. distorts reality. Plastic dreams to hide the lies, locked inside. Vapid roles to have, to hold. Prescribed normality. Shiny screens to blur our eyes. What a bribe. Don’t care for your oppression. Don’t care for your morality. Don’t care for your values. They are not for me. Don’t care for your oppression. Don’t care for your morality. Don’t care for your values. I do not agree. A pretty veil to mask the scheme ensures complacency. Programmed norms embed our lives. Forced in line. A future built for you, for me, produced clandestinely. Passive minds captured in time. What a bribe. Don’t care for your oppression. Don’t care for your morality. Don’t care for your values. They are not for me. Don’t care for your oppression. Don’t care for your morality. Don’t care for your values. I do not agree. A vision of what life could be. Suspend the disbelief. Scripted scenes and shit we buy glorified. A censored way to live, to die. Moral corruptioning reinforced and publicized. What a bribe. Don’t care for your oppression. Don’t care for your morality. Don’t care for your values. They are not for me. Don’t care for your oppression. Don’t care for your morality. Don’t care for your values. I do not agree.

Her destined life cycle, a symbol of pain, controlled by a system imposing her fate. A sexist institution constructed long ago. In the Garden of Eden, man cast the first stone. Her struggle is our struggle. The malice we face. There’s a multitude of problems maintaining our rage. Our voice. Our choice. Our life. Our fate. Treated as the enemy, raised in shadows. A noose tied beyond the ages, too slowly unraveled. She’s a victim of violence, abused, demeaned, and raped. This patriarchal rule instills a fucking life of pain. Forced to find a suitor, fall in love, become his slave, make his perfect children, as it’s meant to be. A woman’s path planned, no choice to be free. Resist these ideologies. Reclaim your destiny. Our voice. Our choice. Our life. Our fate. Our destined life cycle, the embodiment of pain. Speak out against the system controlling our fate. Revise the ideologies created from hate. Question what you’re taught. Design your own way.
