I remember when we were young You would call me a brother Saying, "You're family's better than mine." Even though I know it's true You were using it to Grab at my sensitivity My want to help everybody So I would be comfortable around you You pulled me in I tried to resist Yanking on the chain Trying to escape But you reel me in I'm done with this shit I'm escaping now Just when I think I have made it out Forgotten about you once and for all The memories come flooding back in Telling me, "You must tackle this in a better way Than how you have been doing it for years. So speak it out now." I felt a snapping in the link And now the truth is on the brink Of being revealed by me The stuff that my brain hid for years You know where I reside No real sense to try and hide One of these day I will be gone Hopefully, it won't take long I'll find a better to Move on from all the trauma That you inflicted on me I am done with all this hell now Why, you think there's a way to start again? It ended a long time ago, my friend I never was a brother And you were not a friend You were my enemy throughout my youth I was just too young to understand Just when I think I have made it out Forgotten about you once and for all The memories come flooding back in Telling me, "You must tackle this in a better way Than how you have been doing it for years. So speak it out now."

Up at the top is where you sit Consumerist values, you live on our supplies You love seeing us suffer, we all know this We call for assistance and you always ignore it Pick all the lies you made for the poor And invest it in things you know they look for Advertise it to make them want more Even though it's the people you deplore Welcome to the hall of judgement The greats are bleeding from their portaits You stand there like a guard But have you seen the calender on the wall? It's 2008 You know what that means? It's the great comedown, the vast falloff You're coming down with me! I'm taking you down with me And everybody will see But, of course, just like all the time You find a way to survive And crawl back up the ladder And laugh at us down under Stuck in the country of degrade Of the land you felt right to invade It's my class you like to cascade Until we've completely decayed How much longer will we stand?! How come you always rise again?! You're some destructive hydra We're vindicative phoenixes emerging from ash We've cried for help and you pretend We are the trash on riverbeds We've been grasping at straws that you snatch A break is something that we can never catch I'm taking you down with me And everybody will see Discrimination of everybody you fear When you see us, you always steer clear Always hoping that we never interfere I bet you hope that we would all disappear But, would you look at that! 0'8 is back! Recession returns and your funds are off the track Now it's time for you to lose what we lack Life decides to give you a deserved rollback Now you know how we feel all the time We are the people you would rather have die Cut off all the services that were made to help us Just so you can keep your supplies in check We're all in need of desperate help But if you keep pushing us down, don't be surprised if we fight back We're all suffering right now So why would you want to make it all worse? I'm taking you down with me And everybody will see

Well, now, it's coming back to haunt me The imagery is surfacing Of what you did to me To my friends and family Stacking everything up on each other I'm fearing I'm breaking Can't escape this time No matter how much I beg The inner workings made me forget Of what you did when I was young You can call it being young But nothing changes the trauma That you gave to me Of every time you pushed the limits Of every time I tried to back away What did you want from me? What did you want from me?! What did you want from me?! What did you want from me?! What did you want from me?! We can play our games And you try to inch closer And all the signs I gave For you to back away You only tried harder Is there a way to escape this? Someone guide me to the exit Lead me to the concluding closure I don't want this to affect me anymore But everything I've said about you Has found a way to burrow into My endless subconscious thoughts And I can't forget I'm only going to remember more I'm pleading to move on I just want to move on The visions of all that you did To my family, to my friends All you did to me They're engraved in here What did you want from me?! What did you want from me?! What did you want from me?! What did you want from me?! The steps you had taken I should have seen them But I was too young to comprehend How could I understand? Look, I don't know where to go from here I'm trying to figure it out But I don't know where to start And it's all coming back And I don't know what to think A breakdown in my father's car Driving back to Ludington The topics arose And the pieces fell into place My father saw them connect The stare I gave Off in the distance The highway flying back It sucks crying in front of a parent Especially when they went through a similar experience It all sparks the memories in my mind What did you want from me?! What did you want from me?! What did you want from me?! What did you want from me?! Cowardice actions Advancing on someone For how much I tried to push back You kept on going What did you do when I was asleep? Do I want to know what happened to me? I hate the times I speculate Because I see the connections to everything I just want to escape Leave the past behind But I judge everyone I meet To what you did to me No, I can't forgive No, you cant amend I just have to avoid you As best I can That Goodwill doesn't exist Well, it does, but I won't go to it I'm a pacifist, I'm a pacifist But if I see you again I don't know what will happen What did you want from me?! What did you want from me?! What did you want from me?! What did you want from me?! I won't let you destroy me I'll move on from this chapter one day At least I hope No, you won't turn my friends on me We all know you by name I should have listened to my sister She knew you were bad news My mother saw the signs Even I knew I couldn't trust you But you made me afraid of the consequences If I tried to bring up your fallacies I had to wait it out Why did I have to wait so long? If your own brother is scared of you I can only imagine what you've done No, I never want to talk to again I don't want to witness you again I'll hug my brother and sister They now know what you've done They're with me on this Hopefully, I can get away from this Let me move on from this Let me feel the sunshine again I've been waiting for it for a while now Why can't it shine now? What did you want from me?! What did you want from me?! What did you want from me?! What did you want from me?! I won't let you destroy me I'll move on from this chapter one day At least I hope No, you won't turn my friends on me We all know you by name

about

Overdrive Abstractions acts as a sequel to Out of the Void and Hello, Old Friend. This album deals with paranoia, dissociative amnesia, schizophrenia, loss of connections, loss on one's grip on reality, bitterness from the world, self-doubt, and emotional and sexual trauma, which, sadly, we suffer from.
