There is a virus that spreads like the plague
A chronic condition, the only treatments they say
Is a change of dialogue, a bottle of pills
"But I just wanna blackout so wake me up when i care"
Is it the terror of absence you fear
In silence you suffer and the madness you feel
When sleep is hopeless, I choke up in tears
when I think of the past and all the people I've seen this kill
Now’s the time wake up and take control
Damn all the bastards that you know
You're not alone as it may seem
Cause in the end, all we need
Is something to believe in
CHORUS~
I'm not afraid to die tonight
Afraid to end up wasted and looking back at this rotten life
Guess its time to breakdown or break away
Before my doom becomes this apathy
Maximum violence
Shred my body until I go numb
Is this my fault
Theres that Inner dialogue,
run me, into the ground
Am i so horrid
We all suffer with this doubt
but its bullshit
Don't let it consume
When everything just seems so far away
Whats there to hold onto
Chorus--
"Spoken word" part
I'm not gonna pretend and tell you lifes all good
I'm not gonna stand here an preach that its all gonna get better
Cause i've been there, When reality hits
And you think all you've done with your life is fuck up
No ones perfect and we take it day by day
You take the hits with the breaks, scream out the pain
So what if there’s no God and no reason
Sometimes all we need is something to believe in

The UpFux - Drowning

Are you lonely
Grab your money
Change your mindset
Drown in poisons
No matter what you do,
It's me and you,
'Till one of us gives up, win or lose
Remember too many problems
Leads to stress and a solution to solve them
But I've given up on growing up
"You're running from your problems and out of money!"
Let's get loaded tonight
Test your body
Bet somebody do stupid tonight
And when everybody looks frustrated
Then it's time to break
I'll sing this song for my own sake
Oh I can't wait to drown it all
So sorry, I'm so sorry
Bout the time that I forgot everybody
I'm feeling nauseous, am I still sick?
It doesn't matter, it'll pass with the bullshit
Once I throw it all up, I should sober right up
Send my way my favorite old remedy
Should I learn my lesson and walk out that door? 'Till then let's go back to the beginning
Sometimes I just choke right up
"Tell me what you mean"
First thing I was taught
"is how we're fucked for living!"
So we're pushing on & on & on
Pushing onward on, what else to say
Selling my body, selling my soul
And when I think I'll break
I'll sing this song for my own sake
Oh I can't wait to drown it all
Is this from my own choices or just was it truly given
Is this from my mistakes or was it a result of the system
If I reached out to someone, would you help, or would you leave me
Is this what I'm afraid of
Am I already broken, is it too late to save me
Blame I
Another human too strung out to die
When you’re scraping at the bottom do you learn what you truly are
From the pit of my stomach
They'll sum up the story of my life
Another Friday night
Wasted out of my mind. (x2)
Wasted out of my mind

Dark days ahead of me
There’s no light that I can see
While Everybody’s so fuckin happy
I just wanna be alone
Though I don’t mind how
You think everything’s fine you
Found your God and found some meaning
In this world too
But then you preach and hate
Then tell me what I need to do
That’s when I walk away
Because this life
Isn’t what you make it out to be
You don’t know what it’s like to be me
Human kind O’ what a greater tragedy
Everything displeases me
It seems this whole world is just a terrible place and nobody is truly free, these people all worship the boot on their necks while they pray to be saved though I think they’re enslaved or am I the one losing my mind, this life is absurd ignorance is preferred and I feel like trying to belong is just a waste of time
(Chet)
its like all of these people fall in line with the systems design
but for some reason I tend to keep my mind sane offline,
underground where the revolution lies
i get upfuxxed every damn night just to cope with the pain
and to block out the light.
i gave up on the fight trying to belong to a world that isnt mine
i hope its fun for you submitting to the lies.
this time, im finally gonna say goodbye
or society will lead to my demise
this life as a parasite has been a fucking waste of time
To exist is to pollute
Let the earth rot for we are waste
Still we persist and reproduce
We breed decay for we are plague
Return to dirt
Succumb to ash
When all we are
is human trash
Existence is
Overrated
And you know I
fucking hate it
Everything displeases me
And I have no hope for the state of humanity
All I want is to be free
We’re all just sitting and counting the days..
Everything displeases me
It seems this whole world is just a terrible place and nobody is truly free, these people all worship the boot on their necks while they pray to be saved though I think they’re enslaved or am I the one losing my mind, this life is absurd ignorance is preferred and I feel like trying to belong is just a waste of time
Trying to belong is a waste of time (x3)
Trying to belong is just wasted time

Poetry is the language of dreamers,
Though I no longer dare to dream.
My nightmares are plagued with monsters,
And the most terrible is me.
For are they not the product of ideas
That manifest inside my mind?
For all things in our universe descend into chaos, Descend into madness, unglue, and unwind
And as my mind decays,
And my sense of self slips away,
A biological lobotomy
For reasons I can't say
But faith is of no comfort
Because, for all that I can tell
I'd still have probably lost my mind
As I burned in hell
(Chorus)
And everything that we believe
Is that which we perceive as true,
And these perceptions, our convictions,
Our commitments to pursue
On a grain of sand, flowing perpetually
Through the endless void of space
Even if your body burns,
And your memories erase.
Truth is the currency of the dead,
And a burden on the living
So what truths do you hold in your heart
That are still left unforgiven?
What is the sum of the evil you've done?
Look at yourself. What have you become?
For I am my most fervent accuser,
And my war bears no winners or losers.
And as I look upon those trivial lives,
Squandered in pursuing a desire to be
I am reminded of my composition,
How, where, and why that I am positioned,
In that, which is composed partially of me.
But why is it we all submit
To the desires of forces that be?
For I can, and I will,
For I am willing to kill
For these freedoms that belong to me.

Somebody wake me up I can't believe what's going on
Is this real life, am I dreaming
or is this the new dawn
Have we become so numb that we destroy our fellow man
Could it be fear or is it hate
I just don't understand
A nation under God and a nation forever at war
A nation patriotic while liberty is gasping at the floor
I can't believe the state in which we have become
Peace was never an option and these wars will never be won
Another life
Senseless killings
No humanity
Void of all feelings
Turn the switch
Mindless drone
Pull the trigger
Death toll unknown
Glued to their tv's as they root for the better team
Their brains are washed, dead and rotten and flooded with dopamine
As they cheer for their leader who's promise they hold dear
Divided by a country constantly in fear
The end goal is clear
Oh but don't shed a tear
You all will get what you deserve
Freedom is dead
The colors you bled
Will turn against you in the end
~CHORUS~
Take back the power
And bring forth disaster
Overthrow and destroy your masters
Break the chains, free your mind
Govern yourself or its death by design
Yeah I can dream
But I know In reality
We're too far gone there's no hope for humanity
So I'll stare into the void with a grin
I know that we're all doomed and nothing matters in the end
I wanna make it my mission
End all the kings, priests and politicians
Be the one who's in charge of your own life
Do away with the church and state
The crooked cops will be the first to annihilate - Along with all the prisons, banks and unjust systems. And from the ashes you will never rise again
You will never rise again!
Nothing matters in the end
