Angry at the World
[I've seen it. I've seen it all.]
[I've had it. I've had it all.]
[I've known it. I've known it all.]
[We've always been bound to fall.]
I,
I've seen a million dogs waiting for their day. [I've seen it. I've seen it all.]
But with every move we make we lose our way. [I've had it. I've had it all.]
We tend to stray from the meaning of our words [I've known it. I've known it all.]
and a sense of what to say. [We've always been bound to fall]
Why have we turned a sacred world into our own? [I've seen it. I've seen it all.]
It's no wonder in the end we're left alone. [I've had it. I've had it all.]
To deal with all we created in a way that we strip it to the bone. [I've known it. I've known it all.]
Just to call it home. [We've always been bound to fall.]
This is what we made of it. Truly, I'm ashamed of this.
All that's left to say is that I'm angry at the world.
[I've seen it. I've seen it all.]
[I've had it. I've had it all.]
[I've known it. I've known it all.]
[We've always been bound to fall.]
Time,
and time again I sense the darkness in my veins. [Working so hard just to ruin ourselves.]
It's like my limbs are stuck together but estranged [Craving for heaven we made us a hell.]
and while the void is consuming me [What were we thinking? No one can tell.]
I know that it will forever reign. [I'm just a ghost in a shell.]
I,
I stand beside you to watch the world decay. [Working so hard just to ruin ourselves.]
The only difference is that I refuse to pray [Craving for heaven we made us a hell.]
'cause why delay? I really wanna let it burn [What were we thinking? No one can tell.]
into darker shades of grey. Go to hell today. [I'm just a ghost in a shell.]
This is what we made of it. [I've seen it. I've seen it all.]
[I've had it. I've had it all.]
Truly, I'm ashamed of this. [I've known it. I've known it all.]
[We've always been bound to fall.]
All that's left to say is that I'm [I've seen it, I've had it all]
angry at the world. [I'm angry at the world]
It's getting tough to keep my calm and find the will to carry on.
Used to manoeuvre but now I'm stuck. This load of waste keeps
piling up. What the ... I am
done with this planet of primates fucking up the climate giving each other assignments. Blindly scribbling lines on a map, following guidance, 'yes your highness!'. This not so intelligent design ain't timeless. You can't hide behind this. See how many forgot already that the light we're getting is highly finite.
I might add Simon says fire that spineless excuse for a leader. Watch the demeanor of people that seek to corrupt any legal defence for the poor. Let's get rid of all the weak and the terminally sick. And why not the healthy and fit? Here's the needle. There's the poison. Where's your heart... Make it quick.
[I've seen it. I've seen it all.]
[I've had it. I've had it all.]
[I've known it. I've known it all.]
[We've always been bound to fall.]
I
I've found relief in not knowing where to go [I've seen it. I've seen it all.]
so I've climbed up this mountain and behold: [I've had it. I've had it all.]
The most magnificent power of our nature [I've known it. I've known it all.]
where everything is whole, right after it goes. [We've always been bound to fall.]
I've lost the elementary methods of control. [I've seen it. I've seen it all.]
I look for thrills and the rest of me is cold. [I've had it. I've had it all.]
Although my fate is unthinkable I will keep ignoring [I've known it. I've known it all.]
what I'm told. I'm angry at the world. [We've always been bound to fall.]
I can't be purged of all the nasty thoughts I have. [I've seen it. I've seen it all. / Working so hard just to ruin ourselves.]
They make me see your pain and [I've had it. I've had it all. / Craving for heaven we made us a hell.]
I can't help but laugh.
And since the world has been planting them, [I've known it. I've known it all. / What were we thinking? No one can tell.]
I am not accountable for that. [We've always been bound to fall. / I'm just a ghost in a shell.]
I'm running out of normal things to do [I've seen it. I've seen it all. / Working so hard just to ruin ourselves.]
since you never pay attention to my moves [I've had it. I've had it all. / Craving for heaven we made us a hell.]
which is cool come to think of it. [I've known it. I've known it all. / What were we thinking? No one can tell.]
Honestly, nor do I to you. [We've always been bound to fall. / I'm just a ghost in a shell.]
This is what we made of it. Truly, I'm ashamed of this.
I have made a fool out of myself.
I know I'm destroying us. I have lost the joy in us.
All that's left to say is that I'm angry at the world.
Angry eyes... that pleaded me to cease as I repeatedly beat them. I needed another way to reason but I'm tantalized... by the congregation of torsos, or whatever they used to be. Kill them all I say, today! Angry sparks... colliding with a demon's darkness, stark and rigidly focused on hopelessness, which we tear apart... the last pieces of puzzled flesh and faces guzzling the blood of ancients.
It's our fate, embrace it.
