I have something to prove Something to prove to you You are not what you think you are The ideals, principles and morals you stand for are a collective lie If only you could see yourself from another's eyes Your actions have consequences and this lesson I hope you soon learn Violence is the breath that powers your being and with every word you scream, with every punch you throw, and with every empty thought you have, your life becomes more meaningless. The struggle to create purpose for the path you chose is all in vain and you will never be more than the simple hoodlum you allowed yourself to become

Mon frère 00:37
You don’t lie to me, you lie to yourself What you are and what you could be are based on passion, not trying to fit in. I can see through the front you have put up, I see the sadness you hide from the world I will destroy the wall that is your false pride Speak to me the truth of your life.
3.
Don’t tell me what’s impossible I’ll show you impossible Your thick skull impedes new thinking Allow me to think for you I shall free your being from the cage you created These hands know freedom Now shall your lifeless face Your words speak no truth
4.
My teeth kicked in, struggling to breathe, the only thought that runs through my mind as I watch this display of pride. Sticks and stones are your balled fists of insecurity and my words are nothing more than that, simple breaths of truth that you cannot handle. So take me out, show me what you are made of, I will take all you have to offer the world. My teeth kicked in, struggling to breathe
5.
It’s all a lie and we know it Hidden hands guide our nation, leading we the people to the weak and dark path of apathy. What we believe to right and true, is diluted from strength and passion to the choice between the lesser of two evils. This is what we’ve become We place our trust in faith, we place bets on our future This is what we’ve become, people filled with rage Driven by faith in leaders who have lost touch with our reality We have no power, no drive to stand up for what we truly believe That’s all a lie, and we know it.
6.
Tell yourself you are weak Plant the seed and water with care Let them all know you expect nothing of yourself Reap what you sow This life you chose
7.
Complacent with mediocrity no dreams to chase All lost in the pursuit of money Hope for happiness washed away In the gray of certainty Complacent with mediocrity In the gray of certainty
8.
So fucking interesting so fucking intelligent That’s why you won’t leave me alone Keep on talking; tell me you got screwed over How life isn’t fair, you fucked yourself You made those choices End of the line

Ghosts 06:36
My motivation has been lost in the years spread too thin for too long. High expectations create even bigger lows when you can’t reach the top, take those extra steps into that unknown. Depths of self-pity are only darkened because I have given up. There’s a light I can’t see a hope I don’t feel, I have given up There was a time when nothing scared me, when persistence and dedication powered my being, now they’re simply words spit from my mouth onto that face that stares back through that mirror. My revival will only come when I bury my pride and see the reality of failure I have not given up I have not given up I have not given up I will bury my pride
