lyrics:

1) SHAMELESS

Taunted by the beautiful, the ugly kids, we know our roles.
Straighten up your act conform or get out.
Become what you're not, the ultimate goal.
It's all a lie, there's no positive change.
It's been drilled into our brains.
We need to get away and realize
that there is no shame or reason to hide.
Don't let them tell you otherwise,
don't let them change your mind.
Don't let their ideals of beauty
tear you up inside.
In this world of insecurities
so many forced to their knees.
Driven insane just to be accepted.
Sacrifice themselves, so many are infected.
To the ashamed, you are beautiful,
don't destroy yourselves for their profit.
To the broken, you are beautiful,
stand up now and just don't accept it.
Don't let them tell you otherwise,
don't let them change your mind.
Don't let their ideas of beauty
tear you up inside.

2) I'M SURROUNDED BY WINNERS

Think for yourself? Why do that?
When others can do it while you sit back.
You let your identity go to waste
so you could get caught up in that rat race.
Surrounded by these mindless clones,
why don't they leave us alone?
Surrounded by these mindless clones,
leave us alone!
I've watched your kind come and go.
You purchase an image and act like you know.
These parasitic losers wanna make a name.
In a quest for empty fame.
Surrounded by these mindless clones,
why don't they leave us alone?
Surrounded by these mindless clones,
leave us alone!
It must be easy to buy your friends
when you sell yourself out for a heartless trend.
Get the approval of whoever is deemed cool.
So much conformity in this city of tools.


3) WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING

I see people so convinced,
everyone has the right idea.
Everyone knows their destiny,
just sitting around and waiting to die,
old statements and attitudes,
catastrophically headstrong without a clue.
Shoving ideas in everyone's faces.
Will we ever get over it,
will we ever face this?
We‘re all guilty,
we're all wrong,
we've all hurt each other before.
Gotta make everyone think like you,
make sure they do as you do.
Suffocate the masses with your will,
and make sure that fear as installed.
It seems the pompous will rule the Earth,
it seems the assholes will reign supreme.
Mindless human nature takes control.
Belief systems become militant cults.

4) WE'RE DONE FOR

Thousands of years, and we haven't learned a thing.
So at continues, this manifest destiny.
All of the blood shed, and all the power gained.
Cemented cycle, nothing will ever change.
From greedy hearts and corrupt minds.
So much to destroy and not enough time,
Command and conquer what is not yours.
No need to ask what its all for.
Yours for the taking, from the east to west.
Do it for "God and Country," whatever sounds the best.
Arrogant patriots and maniacs in power
will bring this world to its final hours.
From greedy hearts and corrupt minds.
So much to destroy and not enough time.
Command and conquer what is not yours.
No need to ask what its all for.
You're wrong.

5) CAN'T GO BACK

Nostalgia doesn't do it anymore,
and I don't know why I try anymore.
I try to recapture something that's gone.
Someone please tell me what is wrong.
Plagued with uncertainty don't know what to do.
There's nothing left to even hold on to.
All I can do is watch it fall apart.
Can I pick up these pieces and try to restart?
Is it wrong to want it back.
Or should it just stay in the past?
I guess it was all just wasted time
to put so much into your kind.
Plagued with uncertainty, don't know what to do.
There's nothing left to even hold onto.
All I can do is watch it fall apart.
Can I pick up these pieces and try to restart?
Nostalgia doesn't do it anymore
and I don't know why I try anymore.
I should be done with this,
I should be done with you,
but still don't know what to do.

6) STRANGER

The one thing I know is that I don't belong here.
I'm caught in a trap in this suburban nightmare.
The petty cliques people on pedestals.
All that I see has taken its toll.
The one place I thought I could get away
has degenerated into a thoughtless game.
The lines are drawn and I'm fine with that.
I don't care for your mentality or the way you act.
I can't believe we were in this together.
From the way it looks its not getting any better.
The one place I thought I could get away
has degenerated into a thoughtless game.
I've become a stranger.

7) KILL THE HYPE

You market your novelty.
Blinded by hype they cannot see.
Cash in on the impressionable.
Sustained by a sea of fools.
Kill the hype.
Kill the hype.
Seen it before, makes me so sick
how people actually worship these pricks.
Spare me from your dull routine.
Tell me, what does it all mean?
Kill the hype.
Kill the hype.
Take your popularity,
take your cheap fame.
You think that you're special?
You're really just the same.
Refuse to buy into your greed,
refuse to back your petty needs.
Won't join those who water this down
I'll watch as it crashes down.
Put up your facade of devotion and caring.
The blind will eat it up without even sharing.
The mindless keep your ego trip going.
Feed them more lies, the cash keeps on flowing.

8) NO MAN'S TOOL

The evil and righteous, they're all the same.
They all need pawns for their selfish games.
Being a number doesn't appeal to me.
Won't join your ranks, why can't you see
that my life doesn't belong to you.
My life doesn't belong to you.
So many struggle to reach the top
only to find it doesn't stop.
So many lives are bought and sold.
Humanity is strapped, its lifeless and cold.
Why sell myself to your moral corruption
just to further your ways of destruction?
I'll do my own thing, you won't mold me.
I won't be another champion of mediocrity
because
my life doesn't belong to you.
My life doesn't belong to you.
I will see it through because
my life doesn't belong to you.
My Life doesn't belong to you.
My life doesn't belong to you.
I will see it through because
my life doesn t belong to you.
