1.
Feel the tension  A new storm is building  Run for cover  A new storm is coming  Dark clouds descend  This is not a test  This is our storm  Uncompromising We’ll strike first  To rewrite the past  Of total oppression  Dismantle the system   Burn it to the ground Start all over again  This is our storm Every single day
2.
Bled Dry 02:20
Bleeding our life's blood dry before it has time to replenish
. No respect, no regard, no fucking conscience. 
Consume/Consume/Consume & Consume 
with reckless abandon. 
 When will you be satisfied? 
You greedy narcissistic fucks
 can't see an inch past your face. 
Value beyond commodity 
Is a concept you fail to realize. 
Your coffers are lined 
with the blood and suffering 
of 60 billion animals; 
slaughtered every year 
to feed, clothe and entertain you. 
You won't be happy 
until Mother Earth is bled the fuck dry. 

Bleed it 
(Nearly 8 billion humans have signed the dotted line for the earths demise. 
Each and every one of us are guilty as charged for signing Mother Earth’s death certificate) . You’ve signed the dotted line.
3.
Welcome the darkness/still not enough The end is nigh/still not enough 
 Continue the fight/still not enough 
 Sharpen the blades/still not enough 
It's still not enough
 Afraid to seem weak in the face of fear 
 Everything we work for is torn down year by year
 No food to eat. Can't make rent
. The elite profit at our expense 
 Fight and resist, every chance you get  
If we don't stand up/nothing will change 
If we don't speak up now/nothing will change 
If we don't act now/nothing will change  
 Nothing Will Change!
 Got no use for a system
 that breaks the hand of the weak
 A slow march to a silent death, 
9 to 5/5 days a week
 Fed a pill called the American dream
 but a living nightmare is our reality  (guess what?)
 It's still not enough 
 We just want to make this world a better place 
 We still can't breathe 
With their hands wrapped around our throats 
 We still can't breathe 
4.
FIGHT/RESIST 04:52
FIGHT RESIST
5.
Straight edge saved my life 
It matters not what you say  
Immune to your arrogant judgement
 Your negative outlook means nothing to me
 This has nothing to do with you
 This time it's all about me 
I said I'd never write this song 
 I said I wouldn’t give you the time of day 
I said I wouldn’t waste my breath on you  
I said I wouldn’t waste my life on fools
 That’s right I said…
But you forced my hand 
 Bridges that you’ve burned, they won’t be rebuilt
 Is that something that you’re proud of? 
 So self-consumed, so unaware 
 Take what you can  
Give nothing in return 
 Erase you from my life 
 You’ll die alone and broken  
Straight edge saved my life  
6.
(I want out) Haven't seen the sun in a hundred days or more 
 The cloud layer has settled at sea level
 The distain has built up
 Feeling trapped. 
No relief, no relief in sight 
 Stifling/Suffocating
 Compounding the pain 
 Magnifying the isolation
 Asphyxiating, yet left alive in utter misery 
 I want out
 But at times I want it all  
In love with this world
 So vivid are the colors littering the landscape 
with awe and perfection
 The heart is full…then come the clouds
 Colors fade to grey  
I want out 
 Don't know what to do, I know no way, I know no answer 
Nameless faces with blank stares 
hold zero reprieve  
Calls for help go unreceived 
I dig deep, deeper still with a shovel whose handle is broken. 
 Handle the stress it did not
 Splinters imbedded deep beneath the surface begin to show blood 
Calloused hands/forced smile  The taste of iron deep in the back of the throat
 Past the rotten teeth, passed the test, failed the exam
 The rest is up to you, or so they say 
 No relief/constant pain 
I want out 
7.
To What End? 02:53
How is it that we have not yet evolved?
 Armed with a history of past mistakes
 We move on with little reflection 
 Social ladders constructed so tall 
 We may never reach the top 
Climbing over each other 
We fall victim to our own actions 
 Insecurities harbor thoughts misdirected 
 Resulting in actions misguided 
 We trudge on steeped in entitlement 
 The top of the ladder remains out of sight 
 Issues at hand remain unresolved
 To what end?
