Hive Mind 01:58
Separate and unequal In a system that’s evil They say we’re all the same But still expect you to change One in the same All held in chains One in the same Collective pain In the hive mind Assimilation, amalgamation One dream, one nightmare One people all the same Your differences, death sentences Desperate and lethal, Sick and starving people No future left in sight Bled dry by the watchers eye One in the same, All held in chains One in the same Collective pain in the hive mind Join or die Controlled by the hive mind Won’t get in line I’m out of step No place in this existence I won’t pay for it Won’t get in line I’m out of step One dream, one nightmare, one people Break the chain

Pressure 02:31
Weight of the world All I feel What will it take For these scars to heal My heart to turn to steel Sick of your sympathy This place is killing me All I know Long to see Freedom from this stark reality Slave to the ways I torture myself each and every day Give me the poison that I crave Vicious cycle, this won’t ever change Sick of your sympathy this place is killing me All I know, long to see Freedom from this stark reality Bite down and grit my teeth The pressures on, so I search for the strength to carry on I may be down, damned and diseased And the situations looking bleak Nothings ever too far gone I find the strength to carry on I may be down damned and diseased Life tries to bring me to my knees The anxiety is crippling But there is no defeat in me

A serpents tongue Behind your teeth Waiting to spew your Skewed beliefs Taking advantage Of the down and broken Hate runs in Every word you’ve spoken I’m waiting for your end You’ll get your due, in the harsh light of the truth You claim you’ve changed But the fact remains You use and abuse The ones who give you their faith You claim you’ve changed But the fact remains Always playing the victim You’re in love with the pain Fear through force Lying to the people For your own sick gain You’ll do anything To save some face Confronted with something You can’t escape I’m waiting for your end You’ll get your due In the harsh light of the truth You claim you’ve changed But the fact remains You use and abuse The ones who give you their faith You claim you’ve changed But the fact remains Always playing the victim You’re in love with the pain Now at the end of the noose The gavel comes swinging for you Dragged out into the light of the truth The gavel comes swinging for you You’ll get your due THE GAVEL SWINGS The gavel swings for you
