i want to see, i want to feel
i need to be, dont want to kneel
i want to love, i want to scream
I want to sleep i want to dream i want it clean
but thats when it all kicks in
dont want to lust, i need to trust
i want to shine and not to rust
i want the speed, that plants the seed
that spreads the feed and builds the need
but thats when it all kicks in
Dont want the pain, but want the gain
i want the brain but not the strain,
Touch the flame without the maim,
and eat it all without the shame
but thats when it all kicks in
i want to win without defense
I want the future without suspense
I want prove im not dense, and have the sense
to breathe in poisoned air with open vents
list the grievance, make it just
i want to shine and not to rust
list the OUTRAGE and mistrust
i want the shine and not the rust
see my world for what it is... Duck and Cover.
see my world for what it is.
see my world for what its not.
Duck and Cover.
i want to shine and not to rust
thats when it all kicks in
but then it all kicks in

You gotta look over your shoulder
you gotta see where you are going
you gotta watch the time, its all you got
you gotta lose the pain that brings you down
you have to surmise the lot
you never lust over the lost
if your falling over tripwire then its all been self-set
you have to… live pushin forward or your stations beset
you must never look back, and you cant fawn over regret
its hard to.. gaze into the future and the past is all set
with your eyes glued to the tv as you fill with regret
you gotta jump over coals as the fire’s your debt
you have to read between the lines and ID the threat
you gotta keep that ear to the ground
the stampede is coming around

someone take me out
pull me up
pull me out
change the tone
unleash the drones
show the unknown
null and void
stop the annoyed
destroyed
cruise to lose
call in a truce
calm and diffuse
someone take me out
pull me up
pull me out
change my mind
keep in time
show me a sign
emotions get the best of me
i cant fix it
i cant make-believe
depression get the best of me
i can't change it.
so ill just wear it on my sleeve
and im tired
i cant fix it
i cant change it
so ill wear it on my sleeve
I've been running for so long
ive been hiding for so long

Keep me wide awake
nightmare cause havoc instead
but i know its all inside my head
pour me into a dream
another day of feeling dead
overwhelmed and feeling dread
mental breakdown
all shook up and shook down
Angels drag me from the lake
bloated from my mistakes
double vision, showing shakes
empty soul, and seeing snakes
torn down life around it.
its how it was made
took the fear away
release the shade
but now im back from the grave
pulling out the gray
only to see a brand new day
and a fever for the flavor of the taste
that will take it all away
but the urge never stops
as the notion kicks in
wake up wanting in, in out in and out and in and out
Got to sleep wanting out
shake the ground and feeling doubt
pick my self up and take it on
Angels drag me from the lake
bloated from my mistakes
double vision, showing shakes
empty soul, and seeing snakes
Solitary confinement, but never really alone
drown the voices when they scream
bite the bullet. slide it in, grind it
but the urge never, ever stops

toxins feed the oceans
yet the world goes around
no one tries to stop it
as the problems abound
paper dragon lurks in the shade
ready to strike, ready to pounce
gobbles up clueless orders
takes flesh by the pound plus an ounce
cant keep the pills from your mouth or your feet on the ground
lament in the bathroom, to stifle the sound
another day and dollar, another wellness check
ring around the collar, fingers around your neck
then the flood comes down, and its rushing fast
you are expendable, not built to last
try to prepare but the trains pounding fast
you cannot move, you're chained to the tracks
point-blank.
action plan.

you're losing sight I'm losing hand
plant seeds on barren land
sinking fast on the quickest of sand
atrophy makes it hard to stand
building structures on sacred land
will always tarnish the brand
loss of luck equates expand
rot sets in on the polished and grand
broken dreams and broken bones
swinging the fist brings it all back home
take a few to the dome
only to turn out, outgrown
feet are tired and the hands are sore
every day you can't take it no more
put the jam on soggy bread
fill the belly of the barely fed.
ride it until wheels come off
or until you become sad and soft

breathe in the air
inspect the oversight
exhale the pain and
push through the fight
scream at the sky - breathe in
yell into the night - breathe out
immunize the strain - breathe in
stay away from the light - breathe out
gasp in for air and -breathe in
as your angels stare - breathe out
caution damned, ignore beware -breathe in /breathe out
scream out in pain - breathe in
feel your body drain - breathe out
then let others see- breathe in
you have a need. - breathe out
check your vitals check your pulse
assess the damage, rethink impulse
check your vitals check your pulse
check the scene, visions revulse
check your vitals check your pulse
trauma positive, intelligence false
check your vitals check your pulse
shattered bones, tendons avulse
Come on!
breathe in, breathe out
there no wrong and no right, just stay away from the light
