Rings Hollow

Trying hard to advice me
You thought you could sanitize me
but these stains don’t come out
It shouldn’t be so surprising
From what you know of me
I’m attempting to fade out
I’m looking for an escape out of the irony
You’ll try to get me to wake up
But it rings hollow
Rings hollow
I try to speak only truth now
Is it kind? Is it true? But then who holds the truth?
I’m sorry I’m so aloof now
But I can’t force myself to care
My progress just got aborted
You’re asking if I could to just ignore it
Keep that smiling face on
but it rings hollow
Rings hollow
Try to navigate through this fog of rage I
Try to organize all the pills I take
And when I think about what a fool I’ve been actin
Once again fucking up my fate
‘Cause this world’s just filth and the waste
”Are you sure that’s what you really believe?”
‘Cause I just want to annihilate
“Are you sure that’s what you really believe?”
“Are you sure that’s how you want them to see?”
And now I simmer in silence
I’m conjuring up some sort of subtle violence
You advised to hide it
But I can’t force myself to lie
My progress just got aborted
You’re asking if I could to just ignore it
Keep that smiling face on
but it rings hollow
I’ll try to find a truth I can validate
Try to navigate all the lies they say
And when I think about what a fool I’ve been actin
Once again fucking up my fate
‘Cause this world’s just filth and the waste
“Are you sure that’s what you really believe?”
‘Cause I just want to annihilate
“Are you sure that’s what you really believe?”
“Are you sure that’s how you want them to see?”
Rings hollow

Sisyphean Theme

One more time
This one will make it all right
One more time
To still the mind
One more try
You know that they know that you’re right
One more time
Fool the divine
The message is delivered
The liars will be damned
The fools will bow before you
The lions lay with lambs
One more time
This one will make it all right
One more time
To still the mind
One more try
You know that they know that you’re right
One more time
Fool the divine
Prometheus awakens
The fire’s burning out
The dogs of war are waiting
The push the boulder down

The Fascist Dawn

I've been waiting for the volume to finally come down
I've been living with these dark clouds following me around
The people I know say they’re in the same boat
But I'm pretty sure we made it that way
We've been gunning for the end since the very first fight
So why should we be surprised?
Wake up to see the fascist dawn, the light withdrawn
The white hooded harbingers of doom
Sound the alarm too many times
Until the danger comes alive
Our dystopian fantasies made true
Every time that motherfucker opens his mouth
I’m contemplating taking up arms
I want to love, but hatred puts his claws on my heart
And the clouds come out to bring the storm
So what will we do when that when that day finally comes?
Either way we'll have more battles ahead
Together we'll be wishing for that sun to return
And yet together we'll have made our beds
So wake up to see the fascist dawn, the light withdrawn
An Orange Hitler harbinger of doom
Call it a Hitler enough times
Until the nightmare comes alive
Our dystopian fantasies made true
Our dystopian fantasies made true
