Half Empty 01:29
lyrics

It cuts in deep because of what it meant to me The sights burn my eyes, I can not stand to see The world is poisoned and it pretends it's ok But I close my ears and block out what it has to say I can't sleep I can't dream My surroundings Are harming me I fix my eyes to the ground and pave my own path I stay cleared away from the emotional bloodbath Ill thoughts fill my head. My mind is a cage Is there something in this world that can extinguish my rage I can't sleep I can't dream My surroundings Are harming me

I long for the sweet taste of Montclair concrete I've given all heart to the IE CA street There's no other place that I need to go Through thick and thin, I know that this is home Who are you To tell me What is right or wrong With our city More than comfort Beyond what I see California asphalt These are our streets Coast to coast We've reached some new lows The great soil is tainted And progress may never grow We live day by day Have different things to say Same neighborhood Do things in different ways Who are you To tell me What is right or wrong With our city More than comfort Beyond what I see California asphalt These are our streets I.

Sin Mente 01:11
lyrics

For as long as I can remember A childhood so wrongly rendered Two clenched fists to instill fear Threatening, spiteful, deceitful, and sincere I want to ask but I already know Devil in the flesh wouldn't see me grow There's not enough room for both of us here It was either me or you and you had made that clear You can't hide Their bullets are eager You can't hide Kneel before the reaper You wouldn't stop the violence until it stopped you With a hole in your head, what else can you do But lay lifeless in a box while you decay I'll be up here and live to see another day You can't face me now You're too deep in the ground

To Punish and Enslave 01:29
lyrics

I live a straight life I mind my business But there's a big problem We can't dismiss this Nation's biggest gang is made of police They will stop for nothing Until we're all deceased They're against us all They're not afraid to show it You brought hands to a gun fight And didn't even know it The PD approaches They're glad to make you hurt Slap on the handcuffs Kick you down in dirt Abiding by the laws Still used to the run down Keeping my hands up So I don't get gunned down Did I breathe too much air? Wrong place, wrong time? Did I look at you wrong? Where is the crime?

Another day We're still alive Not much motivation To try and survive The clock screams The ears ring The rising sun Is unforgiving The currency leaks While the long hours peak And it's killing me To start another week Running fast Dying slow Is it worth it? We may never know I'm running We're running So worn down But still running I found something to strengthen me Somewhere to let my thoughts run free So here we are The youth of forever We're ready to step up To any endeavor Lost all hope for what the future might bring So I put my faith into the underground scene
