Lyrics

Filthy eyes burned rotten to the lime of light. 
Hollywood monopolized the media press and 
sold dreams blind by sight. The bright lights 
hail to the green of greed. 

Now, every everything is brainwashed to pocket books 
full of emptied life. It’s about profit not progress 
of elevation for protest of revelation fell to the money 
swell of a nation’s grasp whole and incomplete. 

Now, it's about what sells not the sail of revolution’s plight 
untaken even the fight for taking is in your mentality, 
and struggle for peace is in individuals.

As of now battle is firm concrete to the sidewalks and  road streets.
Don’t sleep, inhale the present fumes and digest hormonal injected meat.
Dine and smile. Stab the blanket full of dreams and dry every 
every bit of innocence bleeding in humanity, attacked direct and indirectly
at a heart’s sub direct for dry passion.

The wound is sucked empty of it's plentiful
by suit and tie savages. Just in words 
they can rape your spirit,
steal your pride, and wrap damaged belief
around your mind.

Now, they got you questioning every every everything,
but where is it that you found and lost yourself?
Gone and trampled upon, run over, 
and made a highway out of memories, 
and you wonder why life is so traffic full and hectic hell.
They made it out of so called expansion dreams 

For loss of warm hearts
dry tears run forever drawn like the contaminated rivers
full of man made chemicals, 
and now tomorrow’s stream runs backwards
like the world inside our heads
trafficking for the end, but of what 
and exactly where?
