Toxic

Brought up on bullshit I’ve come to despise
That the measure of a man is the sum of his might
(But) a man who tells a young boy that it’s not okay to cry
Is an example of a man who believes in old lies
Ch/ It’s out out of line - no doubt about it
This patriarchal bromance has become toxic
What will it take for us to understand
Positions of power don’t make you a man (2x)
Nothing is weak about expressing his feelings
Who shares, cares and loves, and never stops believing
A man should have emotions, it’s what makes and keeps him strong
Let go of the lie that your feelings are wrong
You learn it from movies, books and TV
From a young age you internalize the belief
That a position of control is a man’s rightful place
But this train of thought is a fucking disgrace

Don't Panic

Have you ever been let down?
Have you ever been let down by a friend?
You’re gonna get let down.
Situation didn’t go your way again.
Expectation didn’t pan out.
Maybe you’re just asking for too much.
Maybe it’s just not in you
In your reach but so far out of touch
Don’t panic
It’s in your sight
Keep trying
Everything’s gonna be alright.

What We Need

Most of the time
walk through life
Alienated
Head held low
down on myself
Afraid to reach out
Can't give up
this constant struggle
its so frustrating
Always forgetting
it's up to me
and how I perceive things
I guess its time to take a step back
stop focusing on all the things that I lack
and take a good look at what I can do to evolve
Now its time to take control
Some times it feels like
we can't depend on each other
look around, we all go through it
no different from one another
What I Need, What I need I can Become
What We Need, what we need We Can Become.
Time to depend on ourselves

Bed Of Nails

I don’t care what you think
or do or say at all
Your sanctimony sucks
You’re putting up a wall
And when you find yourself
alone and confused.
They’ve turned their backs (on you)
The one’s you’ve abused.
And when you find yourself
Bewildered and alone
Lying on that bed of nails
(you’ll)Reap what you’ve sown.
Made your bed now die in it
Ain’t no use denying it
Now’s the time for you to go fuck off!

Paid Vacation

Here I sit. All alone
Blackened heart. Silent home.
Once again I’m taken from my beat
My badge, my gun. I’m off the street.
Fucking civilians. You’ll know my hate.
Respect the badge, or meet your fate.
I miss the days. I miss the night.
Cracking some skulls It feels so right.
Without my work, I don’t know who I am
Electric tape over my body cam.
Reinstatement. It’s imminent.
My paid vacation. Merely a stint.
Ch/ I miss the days. Miss the night.
But I’ll be back out in the fight.
You’ll see my anger. Feel my rage.
I am the warden of your cage.
I miss the days. I miss the nights.
I’ve got a riot to incite.
You’ll see my anger. Feel my rage.
I am the warden of your cage.
I’ve hurt some people. So they say.
White by night. Blue by day.
They had it coming. You probably do to.
Sworn to protect and serve the fuck out of you.
Nightstick justice will be meted out
My boys in blue it’s what we’re all about
I miss the days. I miss the nights.
I’ve got a riot to incite.
I am a wolf, among the sheep.
Shut your fucking mouth. Not a peep.
My gang in blue, we rule this town
One false move. We’ll gun you down.
Ch/ I miss the days. Miss the night.
But I’ll be back out in the fight.
You’ll see my anger. Feel my rage.
I am the warden of your cage.
I miss the days. I miss the nights.
I’ve got a riot to incite.
You’ll feel my anger. See my rage.
I am the warden of your cage.

Murder's In

You can find us any day of the week
A bunch of latch-key kids on a dead-end street
We choose our family they are our friends
We try to get by to the very end, but for some, it meant prison
You can find us any day of the week
A bunch of latch-key kids on a dead-end street
I trust my family. I trust my friends.
Try to get thru to the bitter end, but
Fuck all the damage, and fuck all the loss.
Fuck consequences, and all of the cost.
Ronnie’s got his finger on the button again
The world is ending disco’s out and murder is in
Ch/ Oh no! Again!
Losing my family, losing my friends
In the pen, again!
Doin’ life on the installment plan.
Oh no! Again
Another 90 day violation.
