lyrics

My callous thoughts
Derive from the trials in place
Set forth by those that seek to help
But leave our homes in ruins

Everyone around me
Is suffocating and lifeless
Embraced in fear
To become the mindless

There is no mercy here
No one to stand up for you
Just live to make a name for yourself
And turn this place around

Can’t you tell they condemn the aberrance within me
You don’t have to conceal your divergency
God damn our “so-called” authority

The sky is upon us

We are harbingers
Of this resilience
Stand tall, let no one tear you down
So maintain fortitude
Inhale and exhale
Breathe until your lungs collapse

Corrupt the minds of the mainstream

Close-minded degenerates
Search for the top from where they’re standing
A never ending contention
