Pathologized 02:49
PATHOLOGIZED The culture is psychotic but we're pathologized Judged and evaluated and analyzed I'm not the thing that's broken, just look into my eyes Get that human contact that you crave and despise How can we comply with an impossible norm? Your answer is the drugs that make us break and conform The problem's not the people, it's the economic form No room for a human in the eye of the storm
2.
RECIPE FOR MADNESS Another day of panic Everything is wrong Alive within the ocean Of the suicidal young My soul is sacrificial Yearning for the knife Nothing could be harder Than this half-demented life Misery and terror Undirected rage A recipe for madness In this self-destructive age There's no fucking solace There's no fucking peace Beat my knuckles bloody Screaming on my knees
3.
CATCALLING IS SEXIST OPPRESSION You have no idea what it feels like for us every day When you open up your mouth with those hurtful things you say Look me up and down and say hey Sometimes I feel self-conscious, sometimes I feel afraid Sometimes it reminds me of the times that I've been raped Sometimes it reminds me of the times that I've been raped Catcalling doesn't feel like a fucking compliment to me What the fuck will it take for you to see Your objectifying oppression is harmful and real Stop degrading me
4.
REFUSE TO RELAX Refuse to relax, won't be sedated My life is a war Never calm down, never shut up My life is a war Don't tell me to shut my mouth You'll have to sew my fucking lips shut Don't tell me to change my mind I'll have to be lobotomized Don't tell me to simmer down I'll boil and I'll fucking burn you Don't tell me it's all okay Tomorrow is another day of pain
5.
SICK AND DISTRESSED Cut off from the culture, sick and distressed A deal with my demons, fucking cheating my death No bottle to hide in, no fucking release Silent I suffer unrest and disease Tomorrow I'll do it, go back on my choices Burn down the world, the command of the voices A needle in both arms, a pill on my tongue An army of darkness, an army of one
6.
EXILE IS NOT TRANSFORMATIVE JUSTICE Dismissive attitudes Choosing disassociation with reality And others' experience... We address oppression with the tactics of oppressors We other people like we've felt othered We cause more harm than helping people's evolution We hurt each other more than aiding people's transformation I see the building of a policing hierarchy in my own community That I thought believed in solidarity and equality So many still feeling alone When they thought they were finally home
7.
To Return 01:40
TO RETURN I used to live with no fear of death Never fazed by my own decay Self-destruction was a game And I was really good at playing My hopeless thoughts drove my actions Substance was my distraction Now I live stone cold sober Every night in my bed I think it's over Close my eyes about to rest when I shoot up in bed and grab my chest and Fear and paranoia encompass me Fuels my desire to return to the old me, to return
8.
Rupture 02:08
RUPTURE Rupture of the shell, exposed to the cold Naked in the snow, nowhere to go All meaning in collapse, awakening to an ocean of pain No justice in the void, just ice in my fucking veins I can't stand the flavour of the truth No reason I just hate the fucking multitudes So: treason I just got a shitty attitude No reason So fuck it all there's nothing I can do
9.
INDIFFERENT SOCIETY Sometimes it feels like there's nothing inside Just an empty shell, no fear, no pride Tired of fighting for an indifferent society I should just accept this corruption in front of me Close my eyes and make it a part of me
10.
It was so painful to discover That the world I was born into Was a world of fucking pain so I looked around more, found out there was a way To make the fucking pain stop But not forever, you had to keep it up Or you would feel pain still So whatever, keep it up cuz you can't stop The only escape is a trap
