Refused
Everlasting E.P.
Another page in a history book
Another lie to justify the lands we took
Another page in a history book
Another lie to forget the lifes we took
Another page in a history book
Another lie to justify the lands we took
Another page in a history book
Another lie
History repeats itself
In another second
Generations of exploitations
And we just don't get it
Burn it -- burn this lie down
Burn it -- no more enslavement
Burn it -- burn this history page
Burn it -- just fucking burn it
Human life is still worth less
Than possession of power
And we are slaves of today
Under fascist co-operations
Burn it -- burn this lie down
Burn it -- no more enslavement
Burn it -- burn this history page
Burn it -- just fucking burn it
Another page in a history book
Another lie to justify the lands we took
Another page in a history book
Another lie to forget the lifes we took
Another page in a history book
Another lie to justify the lands we took
Another page in a history book
Another lie to forget the lifes we took
Structured to maintain the awareness
And the civilizations we made
The lands we plundered and the cultures we raped
Were all part of progression
The victims of a capitalist system
Just statistics in history books
That glorify mass murders
And the genocides
What has changed and what have we accomplished
In our strive for equality?
Oppression rules and money controls
In a world were war is still
Economically beneficial
For those in power
In a sexist, (racist), homophobic existence
We still fight for freedom
How come your symbols of freedom only restrict?
How come your symbols of pride to me ain't worth nothing?
How come your symbols of freedom only restrict?
How come your symbols of pride to me ain't worth nothing?
How come your symbols of freedom only restrict?
How come your symbols of pride to me ain't worth nothing?
How come your symbols of freedom only restrict?
How come your symbols of pride to me ain't worth nothing?
What better way to oppress us than to make us safe
To make us node in approval to the system we created
Our freedom, our bill of right, just assurance to make us abide
To make us serve their purposes and to serve our time
But I will destroy a system that's build on greed
I will destroy tradition that makes us bleed
I will shut down the power of all those who have lied to me
I will defy their image of what they want me to be
But I will destroy a system that's build on greed
I will destroy tradition that makes us bleed
I will shut down the power of all those who have lied to me
I will defy their image of what they expect me to be
How come your symbols of freedom only restrict?
How come your symbols of pride to me ain't worth nothing?
How come your symbols of freedom only restrict?
How come your symbols of pride to me ain't worth nothing?
The weight of my words is not enough to make up for the words I didnt't say.
I'm sorry, I didn't want to close the door, just afraid to suffocate.
Inside these arms I find confort, I will try not to break another mirror
Cause that would mean I would only break myself.
This body where has it taken, fosaken me, fosaken me. Let me be.
My eyes never felt this sore.
If only had I known more.
Self centered, myself to blame.
Death is fucking you insane.
A selfish boy with fear doubts afraid to let it inside.
I promise myself that I won't break it another time.
No question asked, just answers taken
My guilt, my thoughts, my mind were whose to judge?
I think I need to breathe, to let the door be open
But the only one who is choking me is myself.
Why can't I see that you are the sun, the rain, the fuel I need inside, why can't I see?
I'll try
I won't listen, I'll cry, Sunflower Princess
I won't listen, I'll cry, Sunflower Princess
I won't listen, I'll cry, Sunflower Princess
I won't listen, I'll cry, Sunflower Princess
I will choose my diet with care
And like that wasn't enough
I already wrote you a goodbye note
To say farewell to you
Your TV world
Your fake ideals
Your selfish ways
Compromising truth
Nothing has come to an end
I'm so glad I never followed you
Impossible to progress
Burn your flag to possess
The strengh and knowledge that
You repress
I choose my diet with comfort
And like that wasn't enough
I wrote a thank you note
For what you tried to make of me
A prepackaged blueprint
A cut to fit product
Thank you for absolutely nothing
Impossible to progress
Burn your flag to possess
The strengh and knowledge that
You repress
Impossible to progress
Burn your flag to possess
The strengh and knowledge that
You repress
We are just blueprints -- we are just products
Individuality lost in conformity -- I am not me
We are just blueprints -- we are just products
Individuality now means anonymity -- we are not free
We are just blueprints -- we are just products
Individuality lost in conformity -- I am not me
We are just blueprints -- we are just products
Individuality now means anonymity -- we are not free
This one will not change -- turn down that fad again
Complamency -- overcome, overdone
Everlasting -- I've won
No second chance -- it's just begun
This one will not change -- turn down that fad again
Complamency -- overcome, overdone
Everlasting -- I've won
No second chance -- it's just begun
Struck down in convenience, tradition chosen way
Who describes, who decides our ideas of fun?
I will not become
What I despise
I found a reason
Your truths are lies
Directed
Attached
Reason will overcome
The bounds of conformity
We are still waiting
I will not become
What I despise
I found a reason
Your truths are lies
Struggle to overcome
Generations of secondhand liars
Struggle to overcome
The past mistakes
Struggle to overcome
Generations of secondhand liars
Struggle to overcome
The past mistakes
This one will not change -- turn down that fad again
Complamency -- overcome, overdone
Everlasting -- I've won
No second chance -- it's just begun
The real revolution starts within
The real revolution starts within
Locked down and caged our lives directed
We just can't ignore the real reasons
We are just as much to blame as anyone else
Silent in apathy we won't make a difference
How can we say
That we are not a part of the problem
We are not a part of the problem
That's not true
How can we say
That we are not a part of the problem
We are not a part of the problem
Stereotype values and intoxication
Won't bring about change
There's a reason for the rejection
I feel it in my range
A protest to insufficiency
A purpose to save and heal
A balance to recover
The distorded picture
How can we say
That we are not a part of the problem
We are not a part of the problem
That's not true
How can we say
That we are not a part of the problem
We are not a part of the problem
Words mean nothing
Action is what counts
And when it comes down to it
Don't count me out
Words mean nothing
Action is what counts
And when it comes down to action
Don't count me out
I try to write every line with perfection
Scarred to constantly remember the violence
The wound you put me through
It never meant the pain to you
Weak one shall continue as weak one
And when it hurts it wont be the last time
Clouded thoughts make it harder to fly
Your pornographic dream is a lie
This pretty face
This pretty face
This pretty face
Suppose I could oppose the role that you set for me
The object you tried to make of me
But this time I will just close my eyes
Bite my lips and try not to cry
Point that gun at your own head
Kill this male ego dead
Constantly fueled, constantly fed
Watch this beautiful skin turn red
This pretty face
This pretty face
This pretty face
Your constant abuse
Your constant comments
Your constant date rapes
And constant drive
Your constant abuse
Your constant comments
Your constant date rapes
And constant drive
To destroy... This pretty face
