CUT OPEN
A LESSON LEARNT THE HARD WAY
NOW I CAN BARELY BREATHE
THE BONDS WE HAD LAY BURIED DOWN ALIVE
THEY SAY THE PAIN WILL FADE
BUT I FEEL CUT OPEN
WHAT'S DONE IS DONE
SO WHY DO I FEEL THE GASHES WARMLY LEAK
AND I UNDERSTAND IF YOU FEEL BETRAYED
HAVE NO WORRIES, CAUSE I FEEL THE SAME
WE USED TO FLY HIGH
SO HIGH ABOVE THE GROUND
BUT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG,
MY WINGS FELL APART
AND EVEN THOUGH WE TRIED
AND ALMOST REACHED THE SKY
ALL THAT’S LEFT IS SORELY BURIED DOWN ALIVE
AND I UNDERSTAND IF YOU FEEL BETRAYED
HAVE NO WORRIES, CAUSE I FEEL THE SAME
BLURRED SILHOUETTES OF BODIES
THAT USED TO WARM EACH OTHER'S SKIN
DISSOLVED IN A MIST, WITHERING AWAY
SOME BRUISES WILL NEVER HEAL
SO WE WITHER AWAY

CHEST PAIN
HIT ME HARD & LET ME FEEL YOU!
GIVE IT ALL YOUR WEIGHT! BATTER ME UP!
STOMP ME INTO THE MUD, GIVE ME PAIN!
SO TEAR ME DOWN & LET ME DROWN!
THROW ME AWAY!
I NEVER WAS THE ONE YOU LOVE!
CAUSE YOU NEVER EVER LOVED YOURSELF ANYWAY!
NO QUESTIONS ASKED, THE JUDGE’S CALL IS SACRED & SAFE
NO INSULT TAKEN, WHO AM I TO DECIDE MY OWN FATE?
I’M OVERTHINKING WHAT WENT WRONG
YOU SAID I BELONG.
HIT ME HARD, GIVE ME ALL YOUR PAIN!
PULL ME UNDER! THROW ME AWAY!
BULLY ME INTO SILENCE!
LET ME LIVE! LET ME BREATHE!
LET ME DECAY! (CHEST PAIN)
DAY IN, DAY OUT,
ANOTHER SCAR IS CARVED INTO MY SKIN
BEATEN BLACK & BLUE
HOW CAN I BE A HUMAN BEING
WHEN I’M BRUISED ON THE OUTSIDE & HARMED FROM WITHIN
IT’S HARD TO FEEL COMPLETE
WHEN THE ONLY LOVE I KNOWN IS A RAISED HAND & DEFEAT
WHAT GAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO USE ME ALL THE WAY?
GIVE ME THE KNIFE, THIS PAIN IS PART OF ME
THIS PAIN IS PART OF ME, SO I’LL TAKE IT AWAY

GENERATION HURT
YOU’RE GROWING UP BUT THE WALLS ARE CAVING IN
STRETCHING YOUR ARMS TO HOLD BACK WHAT’S COMING
AND EVEN THOUGH YOU’RE STANDING STRONG.
YOU’VE GOT THE FEELING THAT IT’S NEVER ENOUGH.
YOU’RE LIKE A SHIELD, YOU PROTECT THE CORE
AND REMAINS OF IDEALS YOU UPHELD BEFORE
LOOK IN THE MIRROR! CAN YOU TAKE IT?
YOU SEE SOMEONE YOU’D NEVER HAVE ADORED.
I TEND TO FORGIVE
BUT THE WORLD WALKS OVER ME
WITH EVERY STEP I TAKE,
I SUFFOCATE IN YOUR EMBRACE
BECAUSE I AM HURT!
BECAUSE I AM GENERATION HURT!
PAY YOUR SHARE ON SOCIETY’S BILL
JOIN OR DIE, NO AVAIL, JUST DEVOTION
WHAT I SAY IS I DON’T GIVE A FUCK WHAT YOU GIVE.
NOT GONNA CAPSIZE THIS SINKING SHIP
EVERY PAGE I TURN IS DRENCHED IN BLOOD.
WATER YOUR IRON PLANT ROOTED IN FRAUD.
WITH EVERY BREATH I TAKE, I SUFFOCATE
WITH EVERY BREATH I TAKE, I SUFFOCATE IN YOUR EMBRACE
I TEND TO FORGIVE
BUT THE WORLD WALKS OVER ME
WITH EVERY STEP I TAKE,
WITH EVERY MOVE I MAKE
I CAN’T TAKE ANOTHER BREATH.

FORTUNE & GREED
SO YOU THINK WE’RE A MISFIT GENERATION
THAT WE DON’T HAVE WHAT IT TAKES, NO AMBITION
LOOK, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU HANDING OVER?
YOUR WORLD IS IN FLAMES
WE HAVE NO CHOICE SO WE TAKE WHAT YOU GIVE
PULLING OURSELVES UP BY THE BOOTSTRAPS
YOU'VE PULLED THE TRIGGER, BUT WE FORGIVE
EVEN THOUGH IT ALL GOES TO WASTE
SO SPIT ME OUT INTO THIS WORLD OF DISBELIEF
I'LL TAKE MY CHANCES, MY FORTUNE & GREED
YOUR DREAM IS DEAD, SO DON'T YOU DARE KILL MINE
INSIDE MY HEAD, IT RAGES AND SLOWLY BREAKS ME DOWN
IT’S HARD TO BREATHE WHEN YOU LIVE IN DEBT
GIVE ME LIFE, SPIT ME OUT, INTO THE LOANSHARK’S HANDS
LOADED BACKS AND HEAVY HEARTS
BOOTSTRAPS TIGHT, TEARS IN THE EYES
I DON’T WANT TO BUT I GOTTA TAKE WHAT YOU GIVE
THERE’S NO OTHER WAY BUT I FORGIVE
SAY WHAT YOU GOT TO SAY BUT DON’T LEAD ME ASTRAY
ONE, TWO OFF WE GO
TO LIVE OUR DREAM IN A WORLD UNKNOWN
THREE FOUR THERE’S NOTHING BUT SORROW
IN A WORLD WHERE THERE’S NO TOMORROW

DIRECT ACTION
I KNOW THERE’S A PLACE THAT WE BOTH KNOW
THERE IS A PLACE THAT WE CALL HOME.
DO YOU CARE AT ALL?
YOU TALK, YOU YELL “I LIVE FOR BETTER DAYS!“
BUT YOU’RE MISSING THE POINT,
YOUR LABEL CAN’T SAVE YOU FROM YOUR OLD WAYS
LOSING GROUND! ALIVE OR DEAD!
SINKING DEEP LIKE A SHIPWRECK.
DAY IN DAY OUT! FALLING APART!
BOW TO FATE! EXPLOIT! ROT OUT!
WE ARE LED TO CONFORM,
FORCED TO PAY THE ULTIMATE PRICE!
DAY BY DAY, LOSING GROUND! ACT NOW!
WOULD YOU ENLIST & MARCH TOWARDS DESTRUCTION?
WE’VE GOT EVERYTHING TO LOSE.
IT’S TIME FOR DIRECT ACTION!
DID YOU CHOOSE TO DECAY!
HAVE YOU MISSED THE POINT!
REBEL! THAT’S THE ONLY WAY
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
REWILD AGAIN & AGAIN WITH ALL THE PASSION!
WE’VE GOT EVERYTHING TO LOSE.
IT’S TIME FOR DIRECT ACTION!

CARDINAL WULF
I CAN’T BELIEVE HOW YOU CAN HOLD SUCH A RIGID VIEW!
WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN TOLD?
ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER CHURCH,
ANOTHER GOD-DAMN FAIRY TALE
EVERY BODY BOW DOWN, SEE? HAPPY DAYS!
THINGS ARE GETTING WORSE WHEN WE’RE GETTING MISLED,
IN GOD WE TRUST? WHAT KIND OF BULLSHIT IS THAT
DO YOU BELIEVE IN KINGDOM COME? WHAT IF IT’S HERE?
WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU DONE?
SO SAY YOUR PRAYERS, PUT YOUR FAITH IN BETTER DAYS
NAME MY SINS, MAKE ME OUT, OH YEAH!
CAUSE YOU’RE THE BETTER MAN!
WHEN THE KIND THOUGHT BECOMES THE KNIFE
YOU PROUDLY FLY THE FLAG
BUT I REMEMBER I’VE BEEN TOLD!
TOLD TO HAVE HEART
THE CHURCH IS BURNING INSIDE MY MIND
YOU WANNA JUDGE ME BECAUSE I’M DIFFERENT
I HAVE NO SYMPATHY FOR YOUR TWISTED MIND
OPEN YOUR TEXTBOOK TO LEARN WRONG FROM RIGHT
AND LET GOD CONTROL YOUR LITTLE LIFE!
I’LL NEVER GONNA DRINK THE POISON YOU SPREAD
I DIDN’T COME HERE TO REPENT
MAYBE YOU’RE RIGHT & I’M A GOD DAMN SINNER
WELL I SUPPOSE, I’LL SEE YOU IN HELL!
THINGS ARE GETTING WORSE AND WE’RE GETTING MISLED,
IN GOD WE TRUST? WHAT KIND OF BULLSHIT IS THAT!
I DON’T BELIEVE IN KINGDOM COME
I’VE BUILT MINE HERE, SO WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU DONE?
I CAN’T BELIEVE HOW YOU CAN HOLD
SUCH A RIGID VIEW! WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN TOLD?
I’LL SEE YOU IN HELL, I SUPPOSE!

TODAY’S ASHES, TOMORROW’S ASHES
A THOUSAND TIMES RE-FABRICATED LIES
BEHOLD! THE WINNER’S ABOUT TO CLAIM THE PRIZE!
A LOVE FOR LOVE, AN EYE FOR AN EYE!
5 YEARS OF FUN, THEN CONSUME & DIE!
HIT A BUTTON MEET YOUR DEEPEST DESIRES!
FILL YOUR POCKETS WITH DUST!
LEADERS WEAR BIG SHINY SMILES!
BUT EVEN METAL TURNS TO RUST!
SPREAD COMPASSION BUT DON’T TOUCH MY GUNS!
SAVE THE AIR TO MAX MY FUNDS!
COME ONE & JOIN US!
BUT DON’T GET TOO CLOSE!
THIS HOW IT GOES! FUCK YOU!
IT SEEMS SO CLEAR TO ME
WE’RE BEING LED TO BE ALIENATED!
COUNTERFEIT RULES WRITTEN OVER DEAD BODIES
GLORY TO THE WINNER - SHAME ON THE DEAD!
BRAINWASHED - BRAINDEAD - SQUEEZED OUT
CHOKED TILL THE LAST BREATH
HOW DO YOU DO!
FUCK YOU!
FUCK YOUR EMPTY PHRASES!
BRAINWASHED - BRAINDEAD - SQUEEZED OUT!

CULT OF KILL
ALL RIGHT, SO THIS IS HOW WE LIVE.
ONE SOLUTION TO PROTECT MY SKIN.
YOU WANT YOUR PEACE? GO BUY A GUN!
PROTECT & SERVE - WE’RE ALL AS ONE!
CONGRATS YOU MADE A WISE DECISION!
THE WORLD IS SAFER WITH YOU ON OUR SIDE!
NOW SHOW YOUR GUN TO YOUR BULLIED SON!
HEY BOY! DAD’S HERE AND WE’RE JUST FINE!
THE DEATH TOLL IS RISING
WHAT A WONDROUS THRILL
WE WATCH FROM A DISTANCE
THE CULT OF KILL
THE TRUTH’S HARD TO SWALLOW
IT’S A BITTER PILL
THE CULT OF KILL
MY CULT OF KILL
REALITY CHECK: BLOODY STAINS
WILL YOU TELL ME WHAT ATE YOUR FUCKING BRAIN!
PUTTING A GUN INTO CHILDREN’S HANDS
SPREADING VIOLENCE, SPREADING DEATH, HOW IS THAT OKAY?
KIDS ARE GETTING SHOT BEHIND THEIR DESKS
MARTIAL LAW IN IT’S PUREST SENSE
YOU FUCK ME UP? I’LL SHOOT YOU DOWN
SELF-DEFENCE - I’M CLEAN I’M ALL RIGHT
IS THIS MOVING FORWARD? IS THIS WHAT YOU MEAN?
I’LL TAKE IT FROM YOUR COLD, DEAD HANDS, FUCK YOUR AR-15.
ALL RIGHT, SO THIS IS HOW I LIVE.
MY SOLUTION TO PROTECT MY SKIN
IS NO GUN IN YOUR COLD DEAD HANDS
FUCK YOUR AR-15.
SO SHUT YOUR MOUTH & HOLD YOUR BREATH.
WHAT’S A GUN IF NOT A TOOL OF DEATH.
I WANT PEACE, I DON’T NEED YOUR GUN.
I DON’T BELIEVE THAT WE’RE AS ONE.
I’M NOT AS ONE, I’M NOT LIKE YOU
FUCK YOUR AR-15

FOR ONE DAY TOO LONG
I’VE BEEN LIVING ON FALSE HOPE FOR ONE DAY TOO LONG
CARRIED THE WEIGHT OF “ONE BODY, ONE SOUL”
BUT ALONG THE WAY I REALISED I GOTTA LET YOU GO
ALL I SEE ARE BUMPS IN THE ROAD.
BUT WE GOTTA CHOOSE WHERE WE WANNA GO!
IF YOU KNEW THAT THIS WOULD END UP IN HEARTBREAK,
WHERE WOULD YOU GO?!
FOR ONE DAY TOO LONG!
I HAD SO MANY SAD SUNNY DAYS
WHEN THE LIGHT FELT LIKE PITCH BLACK
I FELT LIKE I HATE TO BREATHE!
SO I’LL DROP YOUR HAND & LET YOU DROWN IN YOUR BELIEFS
CAUSE IS TIME FOR ME TO MOVE ON!
AND I HATE TO LEAVE BUT I HAVE TO GO!
ALL THE WEIGHT DROPS DOWN!
WHEN YOU CONFESS YOUR ADDICTIONS!
NO BLAME, NO FAULT & I APOLOGISE
WHO THE FUCK AM I?
TO SEE MYSELF AS A SAVIOUR!
LEARN TO LOVE, TO LIE & DIE
LEARN TO LOVE, TO BREAK FREE & FLY.
WHERE WILL YOU GO!
TESTING MY NERVES. FUCK, THIS FEELS HEAVY
ON THE WAY TO A MENTAL BREAKDOWN
THIS ANGER BREAKS MY LEVEE
BUT NOW I KNOW WHERE TO GO
