Brother Respite
04:07

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."

Great Recession Returns
03:11
|

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

Dissociative Amnesia
22:07
|
|||
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
