Troubled Times

by Lifespent

/
1.
Twenty-Four 03:05
Twenty-four and still nothing to die for • Wasting my life searching for something more • Life seems to have no fucking meaning • in a world where money is king • All I see are empty fucking faces • and nothing I can relate to • But you know it’s all one big rat race • in which no one will ever care about you • I thought I was going down the right avenue • but it was too good to be true • Tried out so many fucking things • but nothing gives me the right feeling • Twenty-four and still nothing to die for • Wasting my life searching for something more • Feels like I’m putting my life on a shelf • everyone moving forward but myself • Stress slowly grinds my gear • My courage is slowly drowned by fear • Stress slowly grinds my gear • My courage is slowly drowned by fear
2.
You think you’re so righteous • A real fucking hero • But all you do is spit your judgement on everyone • Unable to think for yourself and tricked by the illusion • of a good self-image • you left your reason to die • Can’t sink someone to the bottom without sinking yourself • Fight fire with fire • and now you’re burning yourself • You will not be judge, jury and • you can not be judge, jury and executioner • Hiding behind your fucking screen • Preaching about what you’ve seen • But have you ever walked a mile • with real weight on your shoulders • Break yourself fool • You think you’re so righteous • A real fucking hero • But all you do is spit your judgement on everyone • Modern age vigilance • Another excuse to feed your need for power • Modern age vigilance
3.
The Cave 01:32
Built to destroy the mind • Carefully engineered to blind • A tool to serve the higher • Fulfilling their desire • Power, control, violence, deception, breeds • hate, ignorance, jealousy and fear • Dehumanized and raised to never fall • The perfect citizen stands tall • I wonder if we’ll ever see the fire • Will we ever aim for something higher?
4.
My surroundings are dazed • Trapped in this growing maze • All following the straight line • Classical way to kill time • Walls are being built • without any guilt • Temperature is falling • Slowly and alone we’re dying • Ears are turning deaf • as we make our way to death • No more compassion • in the name of progression • All those who choose to • look in the right direction • will suffer no repression • but will dwell in delusion • No one can escape • My fate seems locked • No escape, no freedom • I might just die • and bury this anger with me • We live in troubled times • No luck in this world of crimes • We live in troubled times • No luck in this world of crimes
5.
The root of all evil • has got its grip on you • And through silence and penance • you live a life without consistence • Break your chains • Before nothing remains • Break your chains • Before nothing remains • Torch it all to see clear • or lose sight and disappear • Torch it all to be free • or die in the hands of the enemy
