Public Demand
02:44
|

Attention, the only requirement for success
An existence dominated by chasing trends
We demand distractions
And gratification for free
Content with nothing
Wasting away
This is what we deserve
It's what we asked for
This is what we deserve
After all, it's what we asked for
So we ask ourselves
Has the whole world gone insane?
It was all build-on-demand
And now we regret that we got exactly what we wanted
This is what we deserve
It's what we asked for
This is what we deserve
It's what we asked for
It was all designed by public demand
Don't act like you didn't see
But what we get is never what we want
We asked for a circus
We exalted the clowns
Now go enjoy the show
This is what we asked for
This is what we asked for
We get what we deserve

Target

How much time can you spend in denial
Before you see you’re just as entitled
As the people you blame
For all that's wrong in your life
You built your whole world around a target on your back
Nothing is there
You're not special
No one's out to get you
No matter how much you want it
It's in your head
There’s no one there
No matter how much you want it
It's in your head
Same for you as for everyone else
Nothing you do will change
It's just how it is
Fuck you
Life will make no exception
No matter how much you victimize
I hope one day you will realize
That you're not special
No one's special

Losing Fast
02:07
|
|||
|
When the laughter fades
What have we left?
Diseased souls so distressed
More and more distanced
All I can do is get on with life
Riddicule and make fun of anything around us
Just to fill the void of despair
And keep on with life
Just to keep on
All I know is how to keep going
Everday the same as the last
Don't even know what game I’m playing
But it seems I’m losing fast
Wasting time
Let the days go by
Counting minutes
Waiting to die

Reality Fades
01:39
|
|||
|
Everyday worse than before
More stressed and at the same time more bored
Losing all sense of time
I’ll never settle, never relax
What is made up, and what are the facts?
And reality fades
I see
I see
Nothing's real to me
Never settle, never relax
What is made up, and what are the facts?
Reality fades
I can't see
Nothing's real to me
Everyday worse than before
More stressed out and at the same time more bored
Losing grip of time
One more distraction
One more pill
One more hit
One more game
One more rush
Anything just to get away

Epiphany

This is all your life will have to offer
Work, eat, sleep
It’s all over

Useless
02:35
|
|||
|
Wasting your time
Trying to find a way
Path has been set by someone else
You will never fucking change
Stay in line, act your age
Fear will always rule your heart
Do your job, play your part
Spend your days locked in chains
Waste you time until nothing remains
A life not worth living is the price that you'll pay
Trying to find something you think will last
When all that you have belongs to someone else
Lie to your friends, lie to yourself
"I'm better off this way"
You can't face yourself
Denial, living a lie
Denial, you're better off dead

Let Them Know
02:12
|
|||
|
You exert yourself
To stand above everyone else
You make sure that all can see
There's nothing about you to look into
It's their fault of their own
You point them out, let them know
That you're the judge, they must go
And they will know
Fear, all your life
To be back outside, once again
All that you know is that fear, inside
Fear for your life
So let’s get rid of the problem
It's not you, it's them
Kick them while their down
And make sure it hurts
It might be you next time around

Make It Count
01:52
|
|||
|
Life's hard when it has no meaning
No one to bail me out, but myself
So I'll just have to make it count
If not, I'll just sink
Where did I go wrong?
I have forgotten when I started failing
All the tasks I was faced with
I just hope to end this cycle
And give myself some rest
I'd give anything to understand
What to do to start over
Failing is how your learn
But I've been here before
And nothing's changed
Nothing's changed for me
I'm the same as before
The day I end this strife
Will be the best day of my life

Nothing
01:38
|
|||
|
In all that you do, you follow morals and codes
Live by the law, do as you're told
Decide for yorself, it's the only freedom you've got
You gave that choice up, you let yourself go
You are nothing
You have nothing
You are nothing
Nothing
In all that you do, you follow morals and codes
You Live by the law, you do as your told

Empty Shell
00:49
|
|||
|
The more I hear, the more confused I get
What are trying to get out of life?
I can't relate
Are you content with just getting by?
What?
I try to meet your eye but no one's there
You're gone but you don't care

Asking For More
02:26
|
|||
|
Live the same days again
As I did long ago
History repeats
Make the same mistakes I did long ago
Supposed to learn from the past
At least that's what I'm told
Same path as I've been on before
As if last time wasn't bad enough
Now I'm back asking for more
As I'm up to my neck
Trying to get out
History repeats
Pulling me back down
Here I was thinking I was getting smarter
When I'm right back where I started
Back again on page one
Ask myself what I've done
I’m too blind to see
I kicked my legs from under me
I got lost a time or two
Gave up life, I was through
There's no greater plan
Life is in my own hands
