Snowpiercer 02:48
On board a bullet train, across the frozen plains Living in ceaseless strain, Won't take this shit for another fucking day Crammed in a squalid space, a claustrophobic cage want me to keep my place You gravitate like a moth to fucking flame Our nature's bare fragility, a lesson in futility of revolutions We're all the same, we're struggling in vain Dispose of your nobility, give me order and stability, humanely packaged Join the revolt, we're getting to the front You spend your numbered days, lost in a drugged out haze Clouded in ecstasy, obliviant to the inequalities at play More offended by curse words, middle fingers and symbols than famine, warfare, holocaust I'll overthrow your iron rule, slowly becoming just like you a vicious circle through and through, Humanity's perpetual doom

I woke up today, my bloodstains were lined on the pavement Thought bubble light bulbs, exclamation marks all around Let's go, leave this place, we are but one consciousness drifting The year of the dragon has come I'm right outside your door and I'm coming back for more (tick-tock) I'm God, your one and only I echo through the ages but my name constantly changes I choose whether you get a two dollar salary or an Apple Iphone 6c I'm right outside your door and I'm coming back for more (tick-tock) I like my pop stars young and my lawyers looking sharp (tick-tock) Chase your wildest dreams, profit is immune to sleep So chase your selfish dreams, profit is immune to sleep On top yesterday and I'll stay on top 'till tomorrow My empire was built on catholic guilt and white sorrows So go chase your selfish dreams, Opportunism never sleeps

In such a twisted mind like his, ambition spreads like a disease too far beyond the pale Merchandising hopes of yesterday, an angel's face soothes their fears away Throwing their homes into disarray, all for the sake of material gain It kills me, divides me by ten, it thrills me Devours the colourblind, you're next in line Desire and death, they pave his way, the ones who go against his reign Shall witness sleep eternal There will be pain, there will be shame, there will be blood Whose discontent shall manifest? Which one of you shall join the rest? When I point my finger, I'll bury you deep, out of sight I am liberation, the Third Revelation refined When I point my finger, I'll bury you deeper, good night Cuz I'm liberation, the Third Revelation refined, and you're next in line

For all the times that you clenched your hand in mine, asking me to set aside thought provoking sounds and lines well tonight i'll make you proud, the pre-chorus kicks in now we made it simple and dumbed down, dont worry i wont say anything profound Dont let guitars or pounding drums fool you, it's mass appeal Feel-good three chords, meaningless words heading down nowheresville Of all the signs that we gave with you in mind tell us which ones feel right, and the rest will soon comply market research never lies You have been so kind to us Pointless notes suffuse the sonic spectrum, lacking meaning every single time All this random riff and filler fusion gives off the illusion of experimentation So i play without restraint, so in love with my own self So alone

It takes a while for failed ideologies to rot A quarter man and three machine, serenated by vaccines Born of biased perception and corroded thought I was looking out for me, you were looking down on me Hold on, just a little longer Breathe out only to breathe in Well, will you...or are you...? I wanna live on grandma's farm, wanna tear her sheep apart wanna live on grandma's farm I do take offence when you expose my ploy I'm a manchild, that's my toy I'm a redneck farmer boy Don't care about my lack of ethics Why care? I'm a freakin' MAN! I wanna live on grandma's farm, decapitate pigs all night long wanna live on grandma's farm With the wind in my hair

Resist to brutes or surrender, boy Unto the Holy Empire Should i taint my hands with blood to plot and to conspire? And the past knocks on your door with a knack for vengeance (K)nightmares come alive, I'll be on their minds and I'll strike when the time is right Resist to brutes or surrender, boy You've got but one desire Your righteousness and tireless drive could swallow the earth entire There's too much pressure and not enough release (K)nightmares come alive, I'll be on their minds and I'll strike when the time is right This land is divine, we'll reclaim its pride and I'll strike when the time is right And the past knocks on your door with a knack for vengeance And the past knocks on your doo, paralyzing

I am a pacifist, I'm a conformist Politically correct, against all violence Except when it's made in China or stored in butcher shops Except when it fuels my car or hits anarchists with steel batons If you choose no side, with oppressors you align Keep your blinders tight, you might change or grow a spine Selective compassion has a tendency to breed alienation has a tendency to rationalize hypocrisy These bloodshot eyes can not forgive you, please realise you got the mindset of a victimizer Hell is coming our way, gets closer everyday But still got no complaints, we are untouchable We are the night sky shitting all your falling stars We are the chosen the Almighty's blessed sons If you choose no side, with oppressors you align Count your blessings right, you might change or grow a spine

Simon Says 03:34
Home is where I want to be, home is on a city by the sea and when you find a clue, get me through I'll be coming home to you Hope is beyond the new frontier, hope has made us last another year Every time you call, I'll be comin' home to you Trying to spark bits of commotion, 16 and on the run, monkey on my back What is it with this sense of tension? My vapor daydreams bursting at the seams Perhaps this information has gotten the best of you Don't let it bring you down The record's skipping, yet worry is slipping through You're leaving this ghost town (come around) Driving across this barren desert Can't see the pouring rain ahead for miles Is this the sound of your disconcert beseeching guidance from counterfeit smiles?
