Only the strong survive , yeh right and the dead are alive
Ignorance rules and the Ignorant rule
Their are those who believe and follow like a fool
Crashing and bashing , the lies keep on lasting
All of the etheopians aren't just fasting
Bill Gates has a billion dollars and you say so what
As Chuck down the street has to drive a Mack truck
The rich get richer and the poor slowly die
While the middle class waits for its piece of the pie
If you want the lies
Be prepared to die
As I sit back and sigh
But do not forget to help those who stare into your eyes
Take the advantage , life the oppression
Keep trying to manage and teach all the lesson
That your village will not pillage
We are taught or so we thought
That what we know is what we need to know
But when the world unfolds , even all the gold
Will not save your soul
They come after you with their promises and their speaches
While they stab you in the back and slither like creatures
They convince you not to fall away , they tell you how system must stay
But believe the lies and I tell you will pay
They twist the rules , try to mold the fools
I guarentee that in the end all will loose
We are the worlds police , we will even help the poor people in Belize
Jump right up to fight in anothers war
While every day another woman is doomed to become a crack whore
I'm tired of all this its making me sore
I just want to open the door
You must see whats behind and absorb the information
Before they can take it and add fuel to your frustration
They fuel my frustration
Government fuels my frustration
Politicians fuel my frustration
The media fuels my frustration!
I just ask one thing , before you make your decision
step back and evaluate the situation
We are taught or so we thought
That what we know is what we need to know
But when the world unfolds , even all the gold
Will not save your soul
THEY !
'chris'
THEY bring me down when I feel up.
Snatch my soul and twist ,
THEY bring me down when I feel up.
Why do I feel Like this !
What did I do? What did I say?
THEY , I yelled Hey. And THEY stepped toward me.
Pushing and shoving , I took cover by ducking.
THEY found me it's up. But I won't give up.
Running , I flee , But still THEY find me.
THEY bring me down when I feel up.
Snatch my soul and twist ,
THEY bring me down when I feel up.
Why do I feel Like this !
I'm scared , It's fear.
I cry , I don't lie , I ask WHY!
Never did I have a chance ,
Never did THEY let me out of their sight.
THEY claim THEY are compassionate , YEH RIGHT!
But I know what THEY are gonna do , THEY'll do it to you!
Block your mind , cleanse your thoughts.
Ignore the tension let your mind drop.
Heed my word , Intake my voice!
Watch THEM die and REJOICE!
THEY bring me down when I feel up.
Snatch my soul and twist ,
THEY bring me down when I feel up.
Why do I feel Like this !
I'm going insane , THEY can't be tamed.
When I think of THEM it's always the same.
THEY chase , THEY ridicule , And I exclaim ,
I AM NOT A FOOL!
I AM NOT YOUR TOOL!
I WILL NOT FOLLOW YOU!
In darkness and in doom it sweeps away ,
THEY follow you untill your saved ,
If you keep in line and away from THEM,
You walk into their trap.
You must fight back ,
You must not go down,
THEY are evil , you are powerful
THEY are insignificant.
THEY bring me down when I feel up.
Snatch my soul and twist ,
THEY bring me down when I feel up.
Why do I feel Like this !
Learn from my mistakes do not run away.
Face your problem every day , all day.
It has come time for my last stand.
I hope you will take my hand, hold it TIGHT!
Stand for a FIGHT!
........
Extnguished are THEY , triumphant am I.
THEY brought me down when I felt up.
"Checkmate"
Never do I listen to the warning
I am feeling diminshed so I turn it around.
I wll not think twice,
My fight never ends ... I never can quit , though currently I am held down.
"Panoramic"
Positioned dead center , all is dark except ,
Upon my shoulders lay my two friends
Stepping forward I speak aloud
Silence consumes the audience
"My route"
Tears shed constantly,
Living in a constant agonizing state,
Always banned,
Nevermore I say , back to the old way,
Repeating cycle of left turns.
Torn by the seems.
I emerge up into the world , only to be dragged back down
That is my Meddly for now ... More to Come ... I will switch it up now and then ...
As I look back into your eyes.
Look back into mine and say you can.
Now I will stand with you on your own plan.
But with your part THEY fell .
THEY brought me down when I felt up.
But now THEY plague hell.
'Chris'
Rather upset when I'm not learning
All I do is mourning , cause my blood keeps pouring.
Out of my veins,
The pains in my brain,
But it is more than that , as it drains.
The feelings rush over and assult,
It's not your fault.
Taste the salt , break the glass Mr. Walt,
Don't let it come down on your consience.
Try to fight back at the nonsense , have some tolerance.
Quit searching for yourself,
Your drowning knee deep in wealth.
You have more than you think dont stay stealth,
Keep it open and avoid the incognito ,
Ignore the media hype just like you were Judge Ito.
Don't hit the bottle , leave the Blunt alone,
Always be happy cause im depressed when I hear you moan.
I hear my phone , But I'm paranoid that it's tapped.
Keep living life in fear and I'll fall into the trap.
If I listen to the news , I'd be afraid that the nukes will rain the ground.
Look what I found , My soul and it is constantly held down,
So I lift it up way high in the sky,
Away from all of the pathetic people who make me cry.
Walkin' stalkin' in my big black boots , string up the noose,
I don't care what you do but don't forget your roots.
Ignoring your family is like ignoring you God,
Ignore them both and you be underneath the sod.
My ignorance is power in the United States,
A true American is proud to be an asshole, with that theres not much debate.
But the others are too they just are not able to comprehend their own fate,
I act as I roll my dice,
A bit of luck would be nice,
But it has always been as cold as ice.
So I rely on my wit and intuition,
To keep me away from all the friction.
I'll give my rendition of our living conditions.
You want an arguement , I will make a dent,
You cant pay your rent ,
When I'm bored I'll go pitch a tent.
I do not care about much in here.
It just passes me by year after year.
I play off all my fears hiding all my tears.
Of course I understand the situation I live in,
But can you understand this world filled with sin.
A distorted reality is common for me to see.
Above the tree, that sits on my lawn,
Why do I feel like a pawn,
When I'm not at all.
With a twist of fate you'll break the fall.
Despite all my fighting , I still cannot break ,
Out of the checkmate...
I will mature into the next generation.
I will become successful , I will show those who don't believe in me ,
and I Will not FAIL!!!
I WILL be the first to break my Checkmate!!!
'chris'
The one light that focuses on stage
All is in step
The time has come for a new page
As I become the sage
Unlike others both speak nice ,
Of all of us until the end
They give twice the good advice
As I am released from the vise
I am audible and all listen to my views
The ensuing applause makes me proud
I have given witness to the truths
Amazed that my words have moved
Our minds meld together
Thoughs converging attempting to make sense
It occurs, now begins our endevour
Together our peace may rule forever
'Chris'
Emotions run through sporadically,
Everday I wish to no longer see.
No longer see me.
All I want to be,
Is nothing to be.
All I want to be,
Is something to me.
My mind always late,
Why do you twist my fate.
Always used as bate,
I try to open the gate , its does not move
I pull the gate , with all my might
I kick the gate , cussing and yelling
I cry , it is locked.
Kicked like sand,
It is too hard to stand.
But it is the next day.
Coming back to where it starts,
I watch myself ignite and burn .
As I am taken apart.
No pleasant dreams.
Always a part of evil sceems,
With holding all my screams.
Wishing to be part of a team.
Left empty and deserted , I walk along the side of the never ending road
A road with out cars and rest stops.
No water to quench my thirst , no food to stop my hunger
Just pain.
Just raw emotions , uncontrollable and unstable .
Labled and packaged but never shipped out,
Left alone to wither
Left alone to cry
Left alone to rage
Left alone to be confused
Left alone and ridiculed secretly ,
No matter how hard I try to break the seal , all is in vain.
No one can break me free of this air tight seal ,
Everyday I lose a little more,
Everyday I begin to gasp harder for air.
Until my peace is found,
Underground.
