Turn on your TV screen Tell me what is it you see All the death, war, and corruption Never obstructs your privileged dreams Crack the lense with which you view through All the trusted images start to decay Creatures of comfort change the channel And watch the static fade away You still believe it’s a beautiful world out there As your brothers and sisters Die in the street and you sit and stare What you see isn’t always what you want to believe when you try to hide It’s easy to say it’s a beautiful world out there When you never look outside And the paranoia starts to creep in Think you’re no longer safe inside your gates Block the doors and board all the windows As you realize that it’s too late The enemy is inside your head Shake and rattle your nerves as you lay in bed Anxiety stricken of what’s to come Too complacent to see what needs to be done It’s never been a beautiful world you see Life is chaos, broken by the flights of fantasy there’s no order here that you can find If you really want to make this a beautiful world God damn it, you’ve got to be kind. It’s so beautiful It’s so horrible

Domestic 02:30
Give me that domestic kind of love Sterile and selfless Always looking for that shadow to cross my path Shifting and shapeless Drowning in the shade of desire Not enough now give me some more Quench my yearning with the raging fires Internalize the bruises and sores Back and forth all emotion constant I get angry all of the time You just lay in wait for the moment When we build upon impulses that we find Give me that domestic kind of hate Raging and helpless Screaming in the void behind your face Deranged and defenseless And the animosity is driven By the need to not feel alone There was a time when the look in your eyes could make sense of the confusion Of wanting a home But then this house of anger Crumbled under my watchful eye Branded by the shameful fate Of repeating mistakes and always wondering why? Scream until you visualize The courage to grab the kitchen knife and Cut me up and drag me down And paint my blood all over the house And as I bleed out and die Still I’m hypnotized By the look in your eyes It tears me up inside When you burn me alive

Encased in solitude I hear the voices whispering I’ll cry forever until I see That no one is listening In the deepest depths I find A silent scream rings out inside my mind Telling me to keep on sinking down Sense of self never makes a sound Lost in my own bereavement For the past that I cannot clean Lost in the shattered notions Of what I was and what I could have been. That regret will never end A silent scream rings out inside my head Trapped imbalance of your own neuroses Turn into a deadly disease What allows me to decide? It’s survival vs. suicide? Have I my own agency? To silence the voices that keep haunting me? No help could ever hope to reach me now At least, that’s what the screams want me To tell myself Too loud to comprehend The silent screams are deafening When I don’t how to respond They keep on echoing The remains of plans that I had made Blown away by the silence where I stayed When I couldn’t force a means to be happy And still I suffered silently Yet echoing Echoing...
