Have another, creep into lucidity
Let these little yellow pills make you believe
You’re not unhappy, now you feel nothing at all
You’re becoming an insipid zombie
Emotion is life, the pain makes us feel alive
And happiness can never be prescribed
Now medicated, contemplating suicide
‘Cause there’s no meaning left in your life
Meet me in Montauk
I’ve been waiting there alone
I’d give anything to see you resurrected
As you slowly come to life
We can both apologize
For the destiny that we both took for granted
Burns a hole inside
Makes a martyr of my pride
But it’s better to be striving for something
Than stuck feeling nothing
You don’t protect your kids by hiding them from pain
Pushing mood enhancement drugs on them at such an early age
The adolescent years are frightening and confusing
And they leave teens feeling helpless and alone
In need of something

Time strangles mortality to its final breath
And our regrets stare at us blankly until the end
And the sea of opportunity was much too deep
We were afraid of drowning in our pain
And never finding what we seek
At times nostalgia laughs and spits in our face
Reminds us that things will never be the same
We can’t hold on
Look into the witch’s eye and rest assured
You’ll know to live each day
Unconscious of all your fears and apprehensions
We roam in purgatory choosing sides
Always hoping for a glimpse at afterlife
We go from pleasure to pain
From sane to insane
Struggling to create that beautiful place
For us to escape
We can’t move on
We can’t look forward to tomorrow
If we’re stuck living in yesterday

Strawberry fields have burned away
Our beautiful place has frozen over
Awake in dreams and asleep through life
As we create our own nightmare
Dehumanized, we fit the mold
And self has no place to call home
Trapped inside the world of dreams
I’m my greatest enemy
Characters play their role
And the joke’s always on me
The surface is guarded
By an army of incomprehensible numbers
We are the martyrs
Sacrificing our souls for euphoric fantasy
Measure my will in ounces
So I can pay by the pound
Nothing is free, not even our thoughts
Still we…cast aside all that is unknown
Never inquiring within
How meaningless our lives have become
We’re lacking a reason to live

Simple logic is our crutch
To the closed minded ignorance
Can you make your own opinions?
You were bred into this hate
You’re programmed to think this way
Realize your own objections
Just across this decadent street
There’s abandoned buildings
With families inside
With nothing to eat
They can’t even sleep
Cause they’re constantly terrified
I forget the petty hardships in my life
Try to see things from the other side
Are we too preoccupied to feel grateful?
Are we so blind?
Is it fear of what we don’t know
Or made up of the stories we’re told
Are we even that different at all?
Social class is not state of mind
With a paycheck you’ll never find
Who you are and what you stand for
I was there...
Standing in silence
Alone in the darkness
The night compassion died
Aware of my own distractions
A need for revision
I decided to care
Hats off to my generation
We’ve lost all meaning
We’ve lost all hope
We’re the children without any answers
From broken American homes
A body was born without a soul
So when nobody loved him he kept control
And he never felt anguish or sorrow or pain
Just a chemical makeup of body and brain
Our children are the soul-less
Tonight’s the perfect night
To be set free
From all of the tangible feelings that made us the way that we are
Now Hitler can be resurrected and show us how perfect we are

They are leading to our obliteration
Individualism will die
I’m proud to be an adversary
I am not afraid of their lies
I can see off into the distance
All these lives we’re lost for the truth
They stand tall on their pillar forgiving
Those without any clue
For years there were no answers
So they concocted stories
Fantasies to fill the blanks
As years went on there was advancement
And scientists progressively began to understand
But they taught their myth as fact
And refused to acknowledge
The discoveries man made
So then began the persecution of enlightenment
The evil power they could not withstand
If we can find a way to scratch beneath the surface
We’ll expose all the malevolence enduring our existence
There are lobbyists whose only goal in life is to destroy our periodical progression
Shaitan, bringer of light
The truth they denied out of spite
For the scientists, the reasons why
They put fear in the hearts of those they preach
You look up to the sky, you objectify
You see a picture of god in your mind
But you never sustain the belief in your heart
If you could find the child inside yourself
You may see your faith without guidelines
Total acceptance and love
The only truth from up above
