The Storm 04:07
The storm is coming The fire burning The winds of change are here There is no returning Autocrats pushing corporate statism Cannibalize each other fighting over you, me, everything Who gets the right to slowly bleed You and me build the industry Without compliance they're left with nothing Replace the assembly line Indoctrination's begun We're taking back what's rightfully ours The end of them is our new start The storm is coming The ground keeps flooding Like the air we all are free tied down by nothing Kleptocrats buying our approval The people's wealth under their control You, me, all we bleed goes to grease this oppressive machine You and me are everything Without compliance they're left with nothing Fresh off the assembly line We are all commodified We're taking back what's rightfully ours The end of them is our new start They're coming for me, will you speak out They fill prisons for profit You say nothing They're coming for me, will you speak out Our neighbor's die in the streets You say nothing Obedience is the same as pulling the trigger Submission in the name, protecting the killer There's no turning back We're at the gates it's no time to relax There's no turning back We can sit back down after the collapse This was built It can be undone Born of men This can be undone

Back and forth, around the sun again Four more years, stuck in a delusion Pick a team, win another race We all lose, no winners in this game They lie, they cheat, out for themselves Fighting over who gets to take and steal, from me and you Bite the hand that bleeds you The illusion of choice is how they oppress We're collateral damage in our own conquest They pit us against each other, neighbor verse neighbor Distract us with division, they are the circus How much more, can we fucking take Every day, until we fucking break It's the same, either fucking way Left or right, misery remains They lie, they cheat, and take from us everything that we work for They fight for the lion's share There's a price on our heads The illusion of choice is how they oppress We're collateral damage in our own conquest They pit us against each other, neighbor verse neighbor Distract us with division, they are the circus Rob a bank, redistribute into our hands Take it back, a world of stolen land Bring it down, every last prison Dismantle our racist institutions Molotovs burn down wall street There has to be something more than this beyond control of the capitalist There has to be something more than This, is no way to survive, fighting every day for our lives The tables will fucking turn, when this republic burns Back and forth, around the sun again Another year, another delusion Sit back and look the other way while they continue to tighten our restraints They lie, they cheat, they're living by a different set of fucking rules Like vultures they fight for the scraps Picking meat off our bones The illusion of choice is how they oppress We're collateral damage in our own conquest They pit us against each other, neighbor verse neighbor Distract us with division, they are the circus Nothing stops, nothing ends, nothing breaks if we sit by Living this, endless loop, every day, another boot Nothing stops, nothing ends, nothing breaks if we sit by

I'm stuck in debt and behind on rent I'll never catch up I want to go and find my landlord's house Show them what it's like to be thrown out I want to take revenge on everyone that makes a living off of me The days are bought and sold The nights are long and cold This world will beat you down but I can do better cuz I know that nothing ever stops There's always more work I'm always on the clock I owe money, bills keep stacking up I'll never catch up I want to go burn down my local bank Remove the boot off my neck I want to take revenge on everyone that makes a living off of me The days are bought and sold The nights are long and cold This world will beat you down but I can do better cuz I know that nothing ever stops There's always more work I'm always on the clock Loss for me is a familiar face Nothing will hurt when you're expecting pain All I know, how it feels to fail Taking a hit over and over again These bones will break It feels like I lost a fight that I didn't even know took place Forever I am haunted by the ghosts of my mistakes It seems like I'll never climb out of this empty hole There's no one that I can blame I'm holding the shovel It's easy to get angry when everything seems empty Choking on my own debris while the world rewards cheating It's easy to medicate, hide from everything I hate Poison that keeps me healthy, balance to stay on my feet Sometimes I just want to watch it burn It's a distraction so that I can finally breathe Sometimes I just want to tear it down Tear it fucking down Injuries heal misery fades and scars remain Tomorrow will come, and bring along a new set of problems Behind again, kicked to the street I'll never catch up I want to go set fire to city hall Rebuild a system that works for us all I want to take revenge on everyone that makes a living, off of me

Nothing ever changes Static is contagious Comfort of the same Our past born in hate The end right where we begin The time is now the day today we face our sins The last excuse has been made The exorcism of our ghosts begins today Everything we've learned is a fucking lie The vicious are victorious The truth they rewrite Everything we're taught is meant to deceive Control is easier when you don't know what to believe There's no tomorrow until we face yesterday There's no catharsis if you don't face the pain The air, putrid stagnant The wind has no passion The warmth of the fire Safety from a funeral pyre The end where we start again Rome always burns, the crown will fall, regimes give in The last whisper of the past will go silent when it falls on deaf ears en masse Everything we've learned is a fucking lie The vicious are victorious The truth they rewrite Everything we're taught is meant to deceive Control is easier when you don't know what to believe There's no tomorrow until we face yesterday There's no catharsis if you don't face the pain We can't continue this path Get uncomfortable, nothing ever lasts Everything that you think you know is apocryphal It's the undertow We can't run from ourselves We can't hide from this hell

We are born with no home, all alone Naked as we came A blank page, with no words, yet to learn Ghosts of our past remain Nothing's set in stone, everything is overturned There's no down the road when today continues to burn (we burn) When I'm losing blood, pain from what I love I remember that I am not by myself Wake each day in the same endless loop Running in place We were taught different walks, but we all end in the same fate Plans are meant to break, everything is incomplete There's no future when, now is not a guarantee When I'm losing blood, pain from what I love I remember that I am not by myself Hey, you and me We're in this trench, side by side Hey, we are fighting against the same thing Hey, we are both struggling We're in this hole, side by side Hey, our backs are against the same wall Hey, united we stand divided we fall This is not the only way When the sun goes away, falls and dies Reborn the next day Not too late for a change, second chance No gods no masters No gods no masters
