I Quit! 02:35
Watch a man work all day just to get by Can't afford his funeral when it's his time to die Work just seems to waste his time I don't want to work the rest of my life I fucking quit Watch a man work all day to keep his family fed But can't even afford to buy their daily bread Work just seems to take his life I give you my time, give you my life, but it still seems not good enough I give you my life, give you my time, but my worth is still written on a pay stub
3.
So many people, yet none seem to know All of the smart ones died long ago Apathy sets in, feelings start to fade The sad realization, that all is done in vain It's just too much work for something with no worth When all is done fate pardons no one I feel I'm held captive inside my own breath Each day it comes in the form of a test When I awake and open my eyes I'm given the choice to live kill or die Rather be dead for what it's worth to survive But can't bring myself to commit suicide People all around me deserving to die The disease swells inside me I'm infected with life Escape the monotony Life is our worst disease
4.
I am the light that illuminates the path And with these lies I'll eliminate the past With complacent tales for all those who have Moved forward in their quest to hold themselves back And I am the reason progression has failed You pray to the cross where your dreams have been nailed You follow a crowd plagued by superstition And kill one another in the name of religion Your life is the cost of social acceptance And without me you are left defenseless You're unfounded but just as relentless You put all your faith in uncertainty's immenseness Ignorance is your legacy Your life has been bathed in hypocrisy You do whatever the clergy's say Give up your life and become a slave I am the lie that confuses the masses

The Only 02:32
The street's a barren wasteland where the population's scared to walk Homes are filled with violence, children aren't allowed to talk The sky is filled with cameras watching over the genocide That slowly takes the place of American teenage suicide While families across the nation glue themselves to T.V. sets To hear about the priest raping kids on the internet All we can say is "let bygones be bygones" Lock up the drug addicts and free all the murderers You say you give me freedom, I will protest The only freedom I know of is death The world hears a gunshot, another kid is dead He was only trying to sell the drugs that kept his family fed The sky's a shade of green from a man eaten up with greed His office now is red, he put a bullet in his head And all the people down on Wall Street will agree That every man is equal, every man is free And everybody down in the gutter will confess Unless you are a millionaire, freedom is death
7.
Wide Awake 02:03
I can't sleep my mind is fried on trucker's speed My mind turns to shit with every capsule of pseudo-sleep While my heart races from the daily supplements that I need So why rest now, when I'm so jacked up I never eat? 48 hours gone I've worked my fingers to the bone, and I can't sleep Smash the T.V. kill the phone, there's nobody else left to call, and I can't sleep Days go on without end, can't help but feel I'm all alone, and I can't sleep How much longer will this last, I'm dead tired and wide awake I just stare at the wall as I lay in bed Serials of sleep and dream dance through my head Can't eat can't sleep these feelings I can't ignore Tossing and turning, I'll do it til Im sore
8.
Buried Alive 01:31
Tired of dealing with life when the debts just make me sick To live is just to suffer in the slot in which I fit I make progress to reach my goals but find out after time I'm only making it easier for those at the front of the line I'm not dead Now I sit around and watch my bosses all get fat I hit the point in life where there is no turning back I have the choice to free myself from my impending demise Break out of this fucking prison, and take back my life Now I get the details and gather the supplies That will put an end to my captors' useless lives For years I've been buried in this pit of greed and lies Today's a new day, from this grave I will rise

Funeral 02:24
Sitting tight and clean behind a desk made of oak He greets his mourning victim's with a smile that'll make you choke He's pouring out the lies from the hole in his face Milking the People's wallets while they're in their fucked up state And everything he says always sounds so fucking great To those whose judgement's clouded by their loved one's sudden fate The crying screaming sadness of the patrons in the parlor Mean nothing more to him than another bloody dollar You work all your life pinching pennies never to spend Then throw them all into your grave when your life's at end They're selling death The family lights a candle to pay respect to the one they've lost They cease to pay attention the the steady rising cost The extra padded casket, the flowers and the urn The fees are still accumulating as the body burns After the funeral's over, and the body's been disposed The bill has been delivered, and the cemetery closed The bank accounts are empty and the family's still in pain The director of this crime softly smiles and counts his gain
11.
The notion of self worth is gone No emotions to help you hold on When all the world is on it's knees, you feel this wasted life you lead Isn't worth the air you breath, all hopes now are shattered dreams All regrets and evil deeds are stirred inside to clearly see Now you too are on your knees, pray the lord your soul to keep Mouth is on the barrel Wrists are on the blade Feet are on the edge There's nothing to say Pray my son over your dead, and let their ghost inside your head Let them fill your soul with dread, pray my sone til all is said And when it's time, you will rise and feel the nothingness inside And hate yourself for every lie, and pray the lord today you'll die Life goes on without you, it's business as usual Every day is a part of our fade away We came here alone Smoking gun by your side as all your problems subside But the early hours bring dawn without you as time marches on We leave here alone
12.
Clock Out 01:41
I'm only alive when I'm asleep, I pray the lord my soul to keep If I don't die before I wake, My own life I'll have to take Broken bones and swollen limbs are my reward for existence My will to live is wearing thin, I die every time I clock in
13.
Your nauseas mold, ragged and tattered And soul that you sold, like it fucking mattered You whittled away the days of your life to smoke in your pipe Never gave in, because you never had to You were there to begin, from the day that they had you When the smoke clears everything is the same, because you'll never change Onward to die, from the rocks that he serves In mind blowing time, from the shocks to your nerves You take your life one hit at a time, from kilo to dime In your eyes... Voids It's a constant losing battle in this world you don't fit But don't ask for salvation because nobody owes you.. Shit To put in your needles Shit To put in your veins Shit Because you are so sick, because you're in such.. Pain From a world that don't need you Pain From a world that's not there Pain Until the day you realize nobody cares
14.
I'm only alive when I'm asleep, I pray the lord my soul to keep If I don't die before I wake my own life I'll have to take Broken bones and swollen limbs are my reward for existence My will to live is wearing thin, I die every time I clock in I live in a box A cubicle cell and I don't give a fuck to see this shit stop My life is secure unless I get laid off of my job Time's an expense I offer to keep the gears moving on Until all my days are gone I'm just a tool Fulfill all your dreams because I am a fucking fool Accumulate debt from years wasted attending school For a job that don't pay I became a slave to the corporate rule My life has turned to shit
15.
These are the hands of one man bound by the will of another They were once strong and willful and proud, but now they are spiteful and bitter The tools of regret and of shame, soulless and broken and tamed Soon is the time they must be untied and turned to the throat of our captor I won't go quietly Into the dark night This world will not be rid of me I won't be quelled without a fight I'm lost. The soul crushing death of my best of times Exhaust my will to keep pushing gets left behind Although I laugh in the face of elite defiantly I won't fall into a life of defeat and die silently -Fuck blah blah blah some shit I never wrote down-

about

In celebration of us doing shit with our time 10 years ago, we decided to do shit with our time in 2016, by putting a bunch of work into polishing turds that will most certainly fall to the bottom of your to do list.
