Years Past
Break the dam
Flood the nile
They've watched us kick and scream all the while

To their wind
We will be stone
We've learned from grass, we can't be blown

Away
We go
Years of the unkown
Years of enslavement
Hunger and apathy grown
Like grass we were
they stomped and cut
And trimmed from birth
Now we know
to be like stone
now we know
secrets grown

break the damn
flood the nile
they've watched us kick and scream all the while

to their wind
we will be stone
we've learned from grass, we can't be blown

in peices
we were
disunified and angry
turning on each other
we were so hungry
to rip out a throat
in response to our choke
holding to the past
as the future was wrote
our backs turned
a whip in place to
new problems we must face

We'll break the dam
We'll flood the nile
For too long have they watched the bodies pile
Our brothers and sisters
We let them die
By sitting on our hands-
trusting every lie

And to their wind
We will be stone
We'll no longer twist, be ripped or grown
From the roots
To be planted as they pleased
Now we must be stone
No longer on our knees



The Lowest Animal
We have stolen the stars
Made them our own
Dark are the skies
But bright are our homes
The mountains are ours
We've made them fall
To be turned into powder
And made into walls

Conquerers of sky
Of land and of sea
The new controllers
For our own opportunity

The fuel of the earth
Is ours to take
We claim the right
She crumbles in our wake
And the waters once ran
Through the land so green
Runs now in fossits
To keep us all clean

Reaping the ground
For what we can find
Taking it all
To our actions we're blind

We've created gods
And killed them off
Minds have been grabbed
Malliable and soft
Tamed and caged
The wildest beasts
To be made extinct
Feast after feast

The lion hunts
In order to survive
When humans hunt
Everything dies

Trees once grew
Where skyscrappers are
And valleys of gold
Now highways for cars
Kingdoms and lords
Of the highest ways
When the lowest animal lives
Everyone pays




Death To The Capitalist
We're tired of the myth
We're tired of the greed
False human emotion
Through advertising
Of all the waste
It's time to taste
Your own medicine-
It's never free


death to the capitalist


It's always anything for you
It's anything for your creed
Always a fresh mind
To plant your rotten seed
But now we know
The truth is in our eyes
The mind control is over
Pull the trigger on the lies


death to the capitalist


To you, the capitalist
Time to end your power trip




....one more....sorry it's alot, i know. if you're still reading, i appreciate your time!



I can't remember the crime
But it keeps me paranoid
Fill up that empty hole
Cover up the void
Come to think, it can't come to mind
I've forgotten who I am
I'm as relative as time
The same things into my mouth
That come out of my ass
Come out as the reality
I'm swimming in chlorine gas
Go at it quick, do it fast
Time's running out, can't outlast
As I sit in my favorite chair
Feeling insane, feeling sick
But after a couple of these
It gives me that same old dream
Please don't tell me it's a trick
I know it's broken, I can't fix
What should be left alone
In the dark it all feels the same
With a sick realization
That I can't remember my name
I still go at it, used and lame
What's behind me, I'll give it a kick
After all those years
That same nervous tick
When the smoke clears it returns to me
That I never really could see
Phone's off the hook, put down my book
If I close my eyes
I won't have to look
Hide from the truth
Like a rotten tooth
Reaching up in my brain
The doctors telling me I'm insane
Just a couple of these for the pain
Once after work
Once before bed
Down my throat, out my ass
Until the day that I'm dead
But I can still remember
That one girl in her summer dress
Looking kind of depressed
As I walk to my apartment flat
Stepping over bums and rats
The city is so very loud
I know I'm one with the crowd
Fast as the food rotting inside me
As I sleep in fron of the TV
Where my college education got me
Here you learn nothing is free
It starts to hurt when I sit so long
My ears ringing that continous song
A buzz that goes throught the gray
Behind my closed eyes
Cozy with dolled up lies
And all the girls in their summer dresses pass
My mind spins, it's all so fast
There's nothing here to save
Walk away with a nod and a wave
My hand passes by
No sound is made
Quietly slipping away
We're all stuck here, no escape
Stuck here in our own hate
My eyes fixed upon that familiar screen
Taking comfort in the obscene
And that girl passes by in her summer dress
Looking all kind of depressed



that's it from me. thanks for reading if you did. now post yours!

 

sick songs persona! it's good to see people responding. and thanks for the love too! post some more, lets make this site poetic! \m/

 

yeah i hear ya fist...i started typing mine up from the huge amount of paper that i've thrown away from shitty song lyrics (or at least one's I didn't like). a good way to get some shit going is to just write/type whats on your mind...kind of like a stream of consciousness....and eventually something good will come from it that you can build on. Get a notebook or something along the lines of that, carry it around with you in case you think of something when you're out and about, and just start going at it.
