Wisdom few are brave enough to seek it
There's a very well hidden secret
But I must pray for a spark in your mind
You must listen and wake up..
its only a matter of time
I don't know about you
but suddenly i carry this grief
Millions of innocent people
Content with this fucked up fate
and ignoring the truth
Its so hard to get use to
Accepting the facts
The man sticking it to us
yeah right in our broken backs
Slowly they will bleed us dry
The American dream
became awkward
and now is too heavy to fly.
Sickness and death
our trust in them
was the first step
To our ultimate demise
The struggle, The Trouble
Sit Tight, and Stay Humble
The Poison Has Clouded
and tainted our judgement
The abundance
of ignorance
Makes my conscious
so nauseous
Tricks are for kids
I think Ive had enough
Tricks are for kids
Its time to grow up

In-case you missed the memo Ive memorized all of the lies
like natural plants in the soil genetically modified
the cost of cancer is a paycheck you so quietly keep
A population soon to face its greatest defeat
... cause they're still asleep
We try to wake them up with the songs that we scream
Few barely notice and continue with a dying dream
Nine to Five Until you Die Making another man's greedy dime
Repeat after me our freedom was earned
No struggle suffered yeah since we've been born
Force fed all this information
none concerned with japan's radiation
Time is pushing us further
towards one world, one nation
Get ready to bury the dollar
Because soon it will be dead
Time is pushing us
Further, and further and further and further instead
Lets stop being negative
for a quick second
It cant be as bad as we say it is
Oh wait just kidding of course it is
Don't take any of this personally
I'm Just expressing my internal grief
Too many afraid to speak what they think
You just stand back while i sit in the front seat
Embrace tomorrow, for soon we'll all be history
Have you Ever questioned the blessing of life's mystery
Im not afraid of what i know
Im afraid of you don't
You'd be surprised with what you find
and Start to see through all the lies
that your loving government secretly hides
Knowledge is power
You appear to be so weak

Calcified (Rough Demo)

Everything will be just a waste of time
Until you find your purpose in this life
Love yourself and the universe will come
Youve got to believe in your.....
Fragmented self
And no one else
In order for growth to occur
Keep asking questions
until your sure
Explore every option
as if there is no cure
for a false sense
of intelligence
Perfectly executed
a brainwashed passive nation
who can't talk
because their thoughts
have been properly distracted
and It makes me so sick to mention
Old men keep dreaming up
more wars for us to all die in
Technology is there to save the world
But they purposely hide it
Increases of cancer within our nation
Chemical based diets - Oh a trending sensation
Every lie they've seem to supply
You swallow down, and continue to buy
Standing in line, with your third eye blind,
working 9 to fives, its about time you just stepped aside
Repeat after me we are all free
Repeat after me we are all free
to be taken advantage of
Repeat after me, Repeat after me
we are all free to be taken advantage of

Eventually' i will' unfold' these creases- in your mind~
so this Toxic exposure takes it's time to unwind
Somewhere lost
forgotten ghost
a Wandering vessel
an Endless search
Coast to coast
Come here; stay close
the light is the heart of home
The dimmest soul will never grow
the Echo; the truth vibration
it's up against our skin
Too many stay the same
the echo; the truth vibration
It's up against our skin
Now tell me Will you let it in?!!!!
