Rise Above

Hitting rock bottom
Time to turn it around
Screw them
We are all death bound 

	Cherish every free moment
	Keep your head up
	Through this time of adjustment
	In the face of the corrupt

		Break out of the mold you created
		Time for revamping
		Control how you're elated
		To the Past you must stop grasping

			Open your mind
			Pass no judgment
			Then you will find
			Abridgment

				Pooling of fabrication
				Part of deception and deceit
				Hear their indignation
				Struggle when you sleep

					Must overcome the hardships
					Pick up from the start
					No time to worship
					Drifting apart

						Put up or shut up 
						No more talking
						As the future develops
						Dead you are walking

							Now is the time
							Feel the love
							Reaction's enzyme
							RISE ABOVE

Wish You Could Be Here

Always resenting
Each moment
Kind of relenting
Cast in cement

	I know You are there
	All of the time
	Vanished in thin air
	At the drop of a dime

		This moment so crucial
		Running backwards blind
		So controversial
		A Death wish signed

			Tearing down 'bridges'
			Steady coasting
			Standing on 'ledges'
			Got my mind floating

				These words unspoken
				Got to live fast
				Dying and broken
				Not long will it last

					Never give up the fight
					You've got problems
					Now make them right
					You still wear your 'emblems'

						Do it in spite
						Of all that has happened
						Try with your might
						To be awakened

							Got a new mindset
							Seeing finally clear
							Never forget 
							That I WISH YOU COULD BE HERE

Rejected

Disconnect all reality
Live by virtue 
In totality
Remain true

	Guided by this energy
	Consuming you 
	Like an allergy
	Don't know what to do

		What is anything worth
		Lies and deceit 
		Not a part of Earth
		Feeling defeat

			Yet still believing
			If I die young
			Better start achieving
			Bite your tongue

				Reckless abandonment
				Twisting moral constructs
				Nothing is permanent
				Self destruct

					Dark clouds hover above
					Surrounding you in madness
					Turn your back on Love
					Drowned by the Devil's wickedness

						Shit piling up 
						Crucify your likeness
						Give up
						Filled with sickness

							Dead thoughts 
							Neglected
							Always getting caught
							REJECTED

Made To Suffer

Going down, DOWN
Retracted vigilance
Cast of town
Can't get a glance

Hurry up
To wait a minute
Half empty cup
Stuck in a rut

This is the final event 
Feel it coming 
Heaven sent
Time to sing

Rancid thoughts
Putrid actions
Blood clots
Counteractions

Chaos and disorder
Left me all alone
Constant torture
Cold, feeble bones

Why did you abandon
When I am so dependent
You see my perception
You put up a front

Wildly unstable 
Crash then burn
Just like the fable
Which way to turn

Tie the knot
Vanquishing halter
Carrying fraught
MADE TO SUFFER
