Oppression 01:40
It's as if they enjoy brainwashing the masses Their own people, the young and the vulnerable You think they're on your side but they're corrupt pigs who will do anything to deepen their duplicity No more ambiguity No more deception No more mind tricks And no more oppression I do pity those who aren't sharp enough to see They're being duped, but not you and me We can see through the lies, we're not blind and we'll never give them control of our minds No more ambiguity No more deception No more mind tricks And no more oppression No more deception No more aggression No more oppression Listen up: You stupid fucking fools, you've just been misled again You stupid fucking fools, when will you see the truth behind the cover story? You stupid fucking fools, i suggest you listen to us because we're not stupid we're not fools, and we'll never be for as long as we exist.

Torn Apart 02:11
We were young, free and naive We had nothing to lose We could do what we wanted all day Without giving a fuck about what people would say This world of ours; We had it conquered Listening to no one This was our time It happened so fast We were torn apart There was nothing left I was due to depart Butterflies wouldn't leave my stomach There was no going back We'd both prayed this day wouldn't come But it soon crept up on us We tried to resist But we were forced to conform I wanted to tell you it'd be fine But i couldn't bring myself to lie I couldn't stand that look in your eye I needed a place to hide I was left devastated And the distance between us grew Until it was unbearable I was suffering I struggled to keep on track But finally we were reunited And you looked at me blankly, and i soon realised I was a stranger to you now, i'd been replaced You didn't even remember my face All grown up; now i'm a man With nothing to love but the fading past No faith, no trust, no hope, no love I am but a ghost with no substance Where has my life gone? Bitterness and hatred build up inside of me As i sit in my desolate room Staring into empty space, into nothing Waiting to die Alone.

Did i catch your eye as i walked by, Or am i just another nameless face? I try to build the courage to talk to you But i'm scared i'll be knocked down like before and i wonder to myself am i worth your time? I'm fucking sick of lying to myself and i want to return to reality I just wish you'd show some interest in me Because it hurts feeling insignificant I've tried so hard to forget you But i never can, you're stuck inside my head I've tried so hard to forget you Another day goes by and again i find myself Lying alone in my room in the middle of the night Staring up at the ceiling Doubting myself Focussing on my flaws, on my imperfections Repeatedly asking myself: Do i ever run through your mind? Do i ever run through your mind? I'd like to know because you run through mine all the fucking time.
