Raised from the ashes of the broken hands
of the seldom noticed of the working man
My eyes are bright my mind is fresh
This life seems perfect I must confess
The taste of light around my tongue
It fills me up and carries to the sun
And every bruise that's ever gained
Will bear a witness they'll know my name
Begins the day a new generation
Shadows of doubt across a curious nation
This is the first hour of the last day that your arms will not be tied behind your backs to instill structure and at those who leave you'll laugh young minds for molding futures selling at a rate you wouldn't guess blindfolds withholding information be conditioned by the best
Blankets to the hungry take advantage make some money
Make it sour don't devour murder innocence for power bloody mess no sign of stopping on a skyscraper looming over the world
Problems increase
Beg for release
Some will not make
It out alive
After 2 you'll die
Hello hello I am your friend and I'll stick with you till the end of this song not the world and you're wrong in assuming that this life is gonna give you what you want
Turn around this heaven is a hell word of advice believe what you read not just some but everything thin the flesh on your bones and paste it on a magazine look ahead to the front here's your future coming up stick your hands to grab hold because now we're speeding up
grip it tight the fog is raining dense
And the man who built the fence in your mind made to keep you far behind while at the same time gives an illusion that some day you will succeed
Have everything you want and need here's a little spoiler
The ends a tragedy died alone and the soul is shriveled up like it sat in the sun and those dreams begin to rot coinciding with a million other voices who will sing the same song and the men in suits will all sing along
And you will work for them you were conditioned to behave hold the chains in the teenage part of game
When I count to three you will
Obey authority!
Follow majority!
You're being sent of to a place where you will stab people in their back just for a raise and you will quickly fall under the greatest country's intoxicating haze
This is not a form of brainwashing
This is not a form of brainwashing
This is not a form of brainwashing
123!

My children's bones
My empire's built
You will contribute
This ground will soak
Rain from the sky
Paints crimson art
The youth emerge
To play their part
No more will flowers bloom these care free days will be consumed by education and a working nation with eyes set tight on that generation look sharp stay clean for the high inspection submit yourself to the greater lessons do not gamble your future's pence give in and pay that small two cents and let go
Then you fell in love
And you danced all night
Promised you'd never let go
And that the days would be bright
Burning the candles for heat
Not to admire the light
The glass eventually breaks
Lay in the rage just to bask
Go to bed with the snakes
And wake up wearing a mask
My dear where has time gone?
I fear those words we said have neared the end of days
And now we will part ways
So long
Coming home
Here i come

An Awfully Big Adventure

Plastic plastered paradise
And don't you feel alive?
From rotting deep inside encased in broken glass
Believe they called your name
Redone a thousand times
Adrenaline for me to share with the insane
Reveal everything you know and cast it for the show
Best actors on the scene
Awaiting tragedy to strike and light it all on fire
I just want to see some action a finale start it up
Give me love and death
I reside with a poltergeist
She keeps me safe and nice
And dwells among the stars over town
Dream
Cloaked in ecstasy
And hiding in the sea
As reality collapsed sing to me
Welcome home my prince my prize
Sleep alone precious device
Restless bones the taste divine
Brother! Brother where have you gone to?
No one knows where you're going
No one knows where you've been
Brother! Brother where have you gone to?
Are they still stuck at goodbyes?
Will you drown in their sins?
And the moment they catch me my nightmares are gone
Hollowed out by the beatings controlled by the song
Is the moment so fleeting that I can't repent?
A transgression beheld by the arms of decent!
Perplexed
In a state of despair
Sucking in dirt
When gasping for air
A baby is born
broken the bones
A harbinger
Of your crumbling throne
The queen gave up her crown!
The release of my name sounded like a surprise
As it burst from her lungs
Intertwined with the sky
A marvelous moment
The artist's goodbye
As I fell asleep in the grays of her eyes
A lunar benevolent waltz into dawn
I'm ready for hell fire I'm ready to drown
So darling a diamond an angel above
My life was a lie
Sew these buttons onto my eyes
Contain your fears
Last breathes and cheers
They won't come near you
Poison your friends to
Ensure the end of
This parade
Your lemonade sir
Your renegade sir
Guns aimed at you
Who will you shoot?
What is the truth?
What will you do?
Is this a nightmare?
Obey the fate's heir
Fall on your knees
You'll build with broken hands
You'll bleed on stone slumber in sand.
Sturdy nails with feeble tools
You'll build with feeble tools
You'll bleed on stone slumber in sand
Sturdy nails with broken hands

Sweet dreams my faithful comrade
Are the lights dim from the life you once had?
Do the monsters still haunt your nighttime travels?
Waiting for your sanity to slowly unravel
Float in the gifts you gave me
But i promise none of them will save me
Like a drag on your last cigarette
Deeply held but you know you will soon forget
Increasing the desire for a little more sorrow
Do I dance in the darkness with the nonbelievers?
Or bathe in the essence of every achiever?
A long way from home suffering withdrawals
Strung out on a series of fatal close calls
And here we are
After all this time we haven't gone far
Sweet dreams a downright cycle
Served time now preparing for a new arrival
A perpetual rhythm holding hands with fate
And breaking every bone of yours to recreate
And the process is never ending
The dynasty is always sending innocent souls to turn the wheels
While dangling a string promising false appeal
Adhere to this
no rest for the weary
