Salo - Everyday

Born into confusion
With nothing but a sense of lost direction

I feel my time here's useless
Nothing left to tie me down to this world
I loathe my own existence
Still i here a voice calling from within

Divine, words of, wisdom
Providing me the answers
Strict, commands, i must, fulfill
To attain my own divinity

I can scream till there's no breathe left in my lungs
Everyone will hear

But no one fucking listens
Become an icon of diligent grandeur
At what cost?
The life of everything below you
Still taking orders from the top?

Lining the pockets of immortal tyrants
At all cost
With lust to someday possess their power
Our envy's what they feed upon and on

They will carry on

Look to your future with your head hung low
With your head hung low

Another day, another dollar
From my hand, into another
Pay the piper on and on
Till the pulpit of america is adorned in blood

Allow the father, to cast a sermon
To his flock, and fellow vermin
Apathy, can save a nation
From the horror its creating

I can scream
Till there's no will left in my heart
Everyone will here
But no one fucking listens

Become an icon of diligent grandeur
At what cost?
The life of everything below you
Still taking orders from the top?

Lining the pockets of immortal tyrants
At all cost
With lust to someday possess their power
Our envy's what they feed upon
Gods feed upon

Only hours ago
Her body belongs
To the sun-stroked pavement

But who is to know?
Who can recall her suffering?
Today

Time stops for one more
This moment of inexpressible despair
Transposed to comedy
On the lips of strangers

The talk of the day, at best
Engraved into history
That no one can recall
That no one can recall

Her body belongs to the sun-stroked pavement
But who is to know?

I am cold granite stone
At the end of your days
The succulent roses festooning your casket
As beautiful as birth
What few care to know
I can never forget

The pain that you cause
The wrong that you've done
Will not be overlooked by the county murder squad
Your crime has been judged
Your name taken down
And you're never seen again once transported underground

Nothing can compare to punishment administered by a mother who's child is molested
Little equals the wrath of a man provoked to claim vengeance when his lover's been raped

We are the blackened society
Erasing such cretins from royalties of light
The brutal judge and convicting jury
Condemning you to your fate

You're a dead man
Dead man walking
You're a dead man
Dead man walking

Dead man walking

Dead man walking

Beaten with a baseball bat
Dislocated ribs your limbs are smashed
Lying crippled your manhood's removed
Using hot sheers to cauterize the wound

Stuff the vile tool in your mouth
So you can see how it feels
Hammer to the back of the head
You will never reoffend

We are the blackened society
Erasing such cretins from royalties of light
The brutal judge and convicting jury
Condemning you to your fate

A contract was made the night you gluttonized
And so luridly had your way
When the time comes you will pay with your blood
Crucified in front of those that you prey

Now the time passes, no investigations made
The police all know where you've gone
To the underground where no body's been found
Another good deed done by the county murder squad

Endorphins purging from your body
Can you feel your bones grind?
You couldn't kick the shit if you tried
It's taken a hold on your life

You need something to kill the pain
Take another dose of apathy

And look away from all of us who care
I see right through your fucking blank stare
Your new love is killing you inside
You need a needle just to survive

This disdain age we live in
Surprised we live at all
With all the induced comforts
You need to keep control

I want to breathe
A breath, of strength, steady, fulfilling
Discharged, from reality
Escape, at will, absent, from life

And i know you can never change
Unless you overcome what's inside your veins
Collapsing over time
Abscesses forming on the outside

Stand behind your punctured wisdom
Holes in your words just like your skin
Marred by railroad tracks of failure
Accepting the shame your living in

Look from your bottle of despair
You can't climb out of
Your mangled eyes see life
You can't capture
The falling rain like stones
Stones on your skin
You writhe deep inside

Here lies a crippled old man
He was just a kid
His appearance says it all
There is no story left to tell

And i know you can never change
Unless you overcome what's inside your veins
Collapsing over time
Abscesses forming on the outside

Stand behind your punctured wisdom
Holes in your words just like your skin
Marred by railroad tracks of failure
Accepting the shame your living in
The rain like stones

Every single day
My problems growing larger
The quality of my life
Reducing every single day

I stare into the nothing
And feel so all alone
There's no humans to deny me
No systems can control

How i wish it would envelope
And show its face of gray
And take everything man's created
And wash it all away

I am the heart of misanthropy
What can i be proud of?
The death of anything of beauty that's walked, crawled or dared to breathe

A hard rain is coming
Our fate's not in our hands
Tower's are burning
A cleansing of the land

Each generation just fucked up from the last
Poisoned by their values
And ideals of success

Have we lost our integrity?
Become like our machines?
Hollow vessels manufactured
To do sadistic things

A hard rain is coming
Our fate's not in our hands
Tower's are burning
A cleansing of the land

Veins and tubes
Nerves and wires
Blood and oil

Lungs are weak
Steel is strong
Bone and ash

As we advance
Search for
A shadow's cast
On existence
Our existence
Cheap suit
Pine box
Big smile
All this
Endless
Knowledge
Pointless
Without
Solace
Woe

Woe

Lowly being
Forced to comply with the demands
Of this heartless machine

But i still breathe
This fucked up air
Damaged existence
Cannot be repaired
A hard rain will fall

Woe
Lay down and die
Just like your fallen icon
Rotting below
How can we move forward anymore?
Now that he's gone
Rotting below
The great dirge played

Woe

The great unrest begins
How long must we live this way?
Tragedy can't divide us
Without the pack we fall apart

Of me is cut away
And now i'm empty
I have less hope than yesterday
Dead today

This can't be the end
After all we fought for and lost
Freedom's larger than our boundaries
Of flesh and bone

Grief is a weight no man can lift
Like granite stone
Misery assumes the only gateway
Through reality

Children lose faith today
Because their hero's just a man
He too feels pain
He had their whole world in his hand

And traded it away
Spires to dirt
We must see through our desperation
Keep moving forward

All that stands before our eyes
Is left for us to pillage
And build
And build again

We lose more each passing year
We build, we burn
Recite the words that cut so deep
Till meaning's lost

Maybe that's what is meant for us
Benumbing repetition
Ballast the weight of your loss
And move forward

Ride on the backs of the lower class
The stepping stones of our existence
Bright eyes of children starting to fade
As they realize what is to come

Follow the money into your grave
A fistful of lies for an icon
Advancing further in the race to be dead
As if it's the newfound appeal

Climbing the structure of human
At the top is a breathe of fresh air
Those under foot at your mercy
Do what's been done unto you

Teach the cruel steps of survival
You learned through pursuing existence
The question on everyone's mind
Amongst the heap where do we stand?

A quandary amounting to nothing
Because we all fall in the end

You know what to do to get what you need
Degrade yourself further

Choke down the shit while they tug on your leash
To exploit you submission
Let them feel alpha for one more day
Just like prostitution

You'll swallow your pride as long as your paid
Have you no pride at all?

For some obscene reason
I still envy you
Or the power that you boast

Boast

Modern day slavery
For me to cradle such a power
I require slaves of my own denial

Of my limits as a person
You'll march me till i'm fucking dead

We must never forget what we are human beings

Now you know

Now you know what it means to be a slave
Strive so hard to fill an image unseen
Sever ties to get ahead realize
You're sinking lower
With every death a new life perpetuates
The infinite human

So funny
How we dance on a sheet of glass
Never knowing when the stones may fall
Composing into ash
Ash

With nuclear frenzy in the eyes of every behemoth
The power of fission shall soon be displayed

Profligacy, will wipe all this away

Profligacy, will wipe all this away

So convenient
Superior intelligence
Achieves extinction
At the push of a button

Bodies dispel into snowflakes
Like fluttering petals
Of dead roses
Brick and bone

Our epitaph
Like we were never here
Like fluttering petals
Of dead roses

Climax of intense pain
Invades while ribbed steel overwhelms
Stay faithful to your vital demands

Collapse

Gasps claim this moment true
Searing, primal, shank, submission
You must see through this nightmare

Burned from head to toe
If you could only escape this body for an instant
Some days are better than others
But overall
There is no sunlight from this bed

Your will to survive is immense
Beckon the titans of misery
Your suffering will never see an end
Yet you keep on fighting

All hail

This avatar of human strength
Refuse to give in
Refuse to break

Sterilized

Hospital bed is all that's left for you and me
What more is there to ask for?
Enough to keep our lungs breathing, blood flowing, our race crawling

We are the heart
We are the heart of this failing machine

We are the heart
We are the heart of this failing machine

We are the heart
We are the heart

We are the heart of this failing machine

We are the heart
We are the heart

We are the heart of this failing machine

Do not wake
From your dream state
Just stay in your bed
The reality
You don't want to see
Its much worse than in your head

Because you don't want to see what tomorrow brings

Sterilized
Hospital bed is all that's left for you and me
What more is there to ask for?
Enough to keep our lungs breathing, blood flowing, our race crawling

We are the heart
We are the heart of this failing machine

We are the heart

We are the heart of this failing machine

We are the heart

We are the heart

We are the heart of this failing machine

We are the heart

We are the heart

We are the heart of this failing machine
