The brave is anti fear 
The brave is anti lies

You dont need no friends
all they will do is hurt you
let them all go, why hold them up?
the family are so far behind,

we are so alone, in this life,
women want what you...

No Mommy No

Raising the gun aimming it at her daughter
she thought,

for unleavend bread and fish eyed wine

His feet on his desk
Smoking a cigarette

I OPENED A DOOR
TO PLACE NEVER SEEN.
MORE OF A NIGHTMARE
THAN IT WAS LIKE A DREAM.

FREEDOMS WERE BURNING
AS WERE THE STATES.
HEADS THAT WERE SEVERED
WERE ON SILVER PLATES.

TRUTHERS WERE SLAUGHTERED.
LIERS WERE PRAISED.
CHILDREN WERE CHIPPED
AND SHEEPLE WERE RAISED.

BEHIND...

Nothing bad like them,
they know every thing,
rights and wrongs.

They don't mind at all,
to produce funny words,
from what they speak.

They twist all the words,
from rights to wrongs,
and wrongs to rights,
to make others fool.

By getting what they...

certain words wont come out
a confused emotion filled with doubt
eyes tell the hearts desires
see the sin in the eyes of liers

From the lips of corn men 
Men who never understand

Ears of the willing

The truth stood downcast in the lie.
Ostracized stranger in line-up
Of liers wearing 'Who Me' masks
To hide behind their stone-face guilt.

The truth stood downcast in the lie
With story stranger than fiction
Backed...
