Hoax 03:44
Well nothing really went according to plan, we got got by our own stupidity Although it feels like it's out of our hands, it stays in our heads through mindless publicity It shouldn't take this long to understand, you can't solve all of life's great mysteries But humanity feeds off the imagery of passed down tales taught throughout history And just cause you heard them say, “this is the only way” It doesn't mean your perspective is any less subjective We're not meant to be a part - a part of the problem Without first admitting our failures how will we solve them - it's a mutual involvement The meaning of life, in itself, is a hoax - a hoax Have we all fallen victim to the punchline of the longest running joke? Shape your future into what you desire, don't let regret be your final confession Cause when it all comes down to the wire, all we have is our dreams and the way we address them Hope is the spark that ignites the fire, it's in everything that breathes but it's not often mentioned Life lesson to aid your progression: you are the answer to all of your questions

What is the voice of a generation? Is it an industry replication of a false idol for the blind demographic, looking to start the next new sensation? Numb your senses for "the greater good" Until everything is misunderstood Keep yourself in line don't ask questions just take notes We are one We're not yours to control Follow none What is the voice of a generation? Is it psychological manipulation? A subtle effort to weaken the masses, freedom of thought replaced by dictation Numb your senses for "the greater good" And don't forget to do what they would Keep yourself in line don't ask questions just take notes One by one We're not yours to control Follow none Think for yourself x4 Be your own voice, speak for yourself x3

Lost our sense of direction and now there's a fork in the road Born to follow the blood on the pavement, a choice that was never my own All of the gold in the world ain't worth, the price that we pay to survive Cause surviving is dying to prove that there's more to life than just being alive You're blind from the lust in your eyes The streets will flood when the markets collide Corruption through currency, slaves till we die Believe what they tell you while in fear we hide In god we trust In fear we hide In god we trust Found our means of protection, it was down the barrel of a gun Shot dead while in whispers they said "as long as the cheque still comes" Point me in the direction of something that history cannot repeat Our impending self destruction is the fork in the road, the direction we go is yet to be seen You're blind from the lust in your eyes The streets will flood when the markets collide Corruption through currency, slaves till we die Believe what they tell you while in fear we hide In god we trust In fear we hide In god we trust

Blind Spot 03:55
There's no escaping (what I've created) Claustrophobic, suffocating Surpressed by the thoughts (more often than not) That turns hope into heartache and life to a blind spot Desperate for a crutch (release me) We turn and run from ourselves until we lose touch Of the things that put purpose in place of our fears This disposition doesn't just disappear And I know that it sounds strange But things are meant to change Believe it to be true That change starts with you
