THE HIVE Always changing Rearranging Forcing you to keep up And the constant creeps And the street lights Can get you so down The city is a crazy place Always in your face Always everywhere It's so demanding Can't get away There's nowhere to hide The city is a crazy place It's a playground for outcasts Cluttered and filled with apathetic Delusions Mass of people Bustling around And they're littered Oh so reckless The buzzing never stops Oh never stops But the hive is Exploding But the hive is But the hive is exploding In downtown They want everything No change for your Handout But there's beauty in the cracks The degradation of The bloody sidewalk And everything is covered in graffiti But it beams of Expression And the pressure And the atmosphere It's all-so Relentless Weighed down by The body counts It's never Never ending The city is a crazy place The buzzing never stops Oh never stops But this hive is exploding It's a playground for outcasts Cluttered and filled with apathetic Delusions Mass of people Bustling around And they're littered Oh so reckless The buzzing never stops Oh never stops But the hive is exploding But the hive is But the hive is exploding The buzzing never stops

OBLIVION Followed fools A temple in the gleaming Built for spite and secret prophets Farmed out thoughts Collected is collective Where will you land when we all fall? Washing minds Seeking all the knowledge Binding eyes and bitter parties Beneath the cracks of explosive loaded buildings As all the towers fall in heaven Were to busy feasting on fame All this charity, all this rage Difference, indifference Beating the cause Waiting for wastelands And sipping on thoughts Whether to stand, whether to run Is beating this force into oblivion So it grows Beating on the backs of school age children learning nothing And hallowed hope Seeping through the civ That blocks the sunlight from returning Its not pain That singles out the needy But a system that's corrupted General fear, loaded in our guns And were shooting all that move Because were to busy feasting on fame All this charity, all this rage Difference, indifference Beating the cause Waiting for wastelands And sipping on thoughts Whether to stand, whether to run Is beating this force into oblivion And it grows Disconnected fragments Fill the mouths of those who care A shallow pond Wading in the limitless potential of our TV's Call to arms A grazing field of bombs Foxhole of commandments Playing time Hide and seek with trauma No one wins and we all suffer Because were to busy thinking of ourselves Waiting for someone to undue the spell Giving no charity, filling with rage Becoming indifferent, and running away Wasteland of thoughts forced to the ground No one stands And were left in oblivion
