Billion dollar industry
Promising help
Offering slow death
Profitable as fuck
Creating illusion
Of trust and authority
Revel in from others'
Pain and misery
Your best cure
Are these pills forever
Your best cure
Ah, it cannot be cured!
Come back more
When your health declines
We'll make it worse
Even more!
Chorus:
Label me insane
My madness is not my enemy
Darkside you hide
Is where I flourish
Label me insane
By your fucked up terms of sanity
Befriend the darkness
That's how I flourish
Your diagnosis
I take as fact
You don't even know
What the fuck it is
Call me schizotypal
Call me depressed
Call me schizophrenic
Incurably ill
The fact is
I still feel, I do care, I'm not dead inside
Yet you say the only cure is to
Kill it all!
Chorus
Doctor, brainwash me with how terrible that is
Make me feel inadequate
Make me think that I'm so fucked up
And stuff my mouth with all the pills that pay your bills
Oh shit, save me!
I trust my future in your hands
You're sworn to heal me
Oh, do as you please
Experiment with my consciousness!
Chorus
The one who cares
Is yourself
The one who can help
Is yourself

Existential Survival

Ignorance hurts more than a sharp tongue
Suggesting self worth score
Zero reasons to pursue
Am I molesting you with my heart on the sleeve?
Is it just just a noise you cover your ears to?
I better die trying
Quitting is ultimate failure
Blood coagulates
Pain will numb
I will make it through
Burning out slowly
Sanity is at the stake
What do you do when odds are against you?
Pain reaches limit
Nothing can hurt you
Fear reaches point
You're no longer scared
All your hate that was meant to stop me
Has turned to determination
To prove you all wrong
What the fuck am I doing?
I'm killing what keeps me alive
Even if the world turns away
I will make it through
I'm fighting a battle
With no one else but myself
No winners here
I have to let myself be
You know
The best lessons in life are the toughest ones
People letting you down instil the faith in you
It's not like the outwardly shallow praise
It will fade eventually
It's the long lasting inner confidence you develop
When all the world seems against you
Let the words that once used to stop you
Now drive you
Don't get away from your pain
Turn that poison to fuel
By wanting me to fail
You've helped me succeed
I better die trying
Quitting is ultimate failure
Blood coagulates
Pain will numb
I will make it through

Smear the mud in their faces
Then call them dirty
Sacrifice the present
To the agitated history
Truth buried in ancestors' graves
Their spirits demand you to reincarnate it
History repeats its tragic self
Devote your life to keep it looping deadly
Fight for peace by destroying
Fight for love by hating
Cut off blood supply
Perish in hostility
Glorify your holy belief prison
Justification shuts down vision
Blameshifting. Backfires.
I guess we've reached a point of no return.
You're burning bridges that I've built
Choice of status quo over responsibility
Stagnation rooted deep in traditions
Living memories pass on offense between generations
Move forward going backwards
Words contradict each other
The trust is gone
Schizophrenia can only be seen by observer
You love to hate and hate to love
Trade all you have just to chase a chimera
Cut off blood supply
Perish in hostility
Glorify your holy belief prison
Justification shuts down vision
Blameshifting. Backfires.
I guess we've reached a point of no return.
You're burning bridges that I've built
Oh well we reached that point of no return
You're burning down bridges that I've built
Believe the lies you live in
Nothing has to be changed
Believe the lies you live in
To have an excuse
One finger points and three are pointing back at you
Despise mirrors back all you hate
the most in yooooooooooou
Blaaaaaaaame!

Sell Your Soul
03:07

The more you get the less you feel
satisfaction of what you've achieved
The more you get the more you want
Hooked, addicted, high on greediness
Sell your soul
Bury conscioness
Walk over everyone
You don't care who you hurt
who you let down,
whose throat you cut open
All what matters for you is a success,
power and all the fucking riches in the world
Love is a matter of conquering stuff
Get more to be loved
Self worth is addicted to fame
So rise above the crowd!
Sell your soul
Buy happiness
Tear down joy.
Earn more!
Pay me more
And I will be your friend!
Buy me more
To show you really care
Praise me more
And maybe I'll be nice to you too..
Grasp what you can to survive
Poverty is worse than death
You can't Oh no you can't afford to do
meaningful work for the sake of idea.
It's a fucking waste of time!
So tell me exactly
How much do you ask for your soul?
Foooor hoow much
Would you sell the trust?
Sell your soul
Get all you want
But in return
I own your life

Belong nowhere
Be long now here
Running around joining different tribes
Switching masks to get the highest ranks
Just to find a nowhere to belong
Hide behind versitality
Call it your broad view but in reality
You're searching for a place to fit in
Beggar for the appreciation
Starving from the lack of praise
You give others the right
To determine your worth
Trying to meet
All expectations
Trading your authenticity
For a promise of likeability
You trade your self respect away
Try to find yourself on the outside
The search is over
Your true belonging
Has always been within
To stay true to yourself
Be ready to stand alone
Belong nowhere
Be long now here
Please everyone
Belong nowhere
Own your story
Be long now here
Be long now here
