Cracked pavement - there’s no shelter
Alleyways
Cracked pavement - there’s no love here
Alleyways
Life’s got me down
So we quit dreaming
waiting inhaling sunshine
A new night, new bed,
paint black onto white
My teeth ain’t getting any more white
but they know how to shine
to get their hands on a vice
I divide.
I am the cracks in your pavement.
I don't give a fuck.
I want my walls just to cave in.
I'm sick of turning new leaves
I’ll turn my back to me
Whoever knew me would turn their back to me too
No this wasn’t how it was supposed to be
No this isn’t me
Help me, please
I couldn't help but let this swallow me up
Pleading for help
Tossed on the top shelf
Left to rot
I’m wasting away
Left to wonder if it's all just a dream
Cracked pavement
No shelter
Alleyways
Life’s got me down

Unworthy
Cut off their hands
Pins right through their goddamn eyes
For everyone they have deceived
You were the one they believed
There’s no clean cut for the sweet divine
Clinging
Begging
Watching the time
So quick to judge
Damn us beneath
But not so fast to pick up your feet
I am the bearer mashing of teeth
The hammer's coming down
Crying out but no one's around
No hope, only a rope
For all of them
Imposter
Claiming the place of god
Pointing your crooked finger back at us
I hope you choke on your own laugh
You self righteous pig
You can dig and dig all you want
There’s no way to escape

I’ve tried but I’ve found no light
I’ve tried looking back at their blank stare
I don’t see no end in fucking sight
How could we have been so goddamn blind
Wait they’ve got us beat
We don’t comply, can’t compete
They all start to stare
Glances sharp as glass
Look at what we’ve done
to our own flesh and blood
It was all fucking planned
from the goddamn start
They kept building
It was never enough
The structures been fractured
to be kept top down
As blood trickles up
a cracked foundation will never hold
The sky collapsed
The rivers rose
One nail was placed
No more thoughts and prayers
I couldn’t bear the truth
None of us could
When gods voice is made up of millions,
where do we fit in?
I’ve held in too much
My tongue cuts against teeth
I can taste the iron as blood fills my mouth...
No human decency
Stripped clean of our values
Wiped clean yet on the same slate
I’m through with biting my tongue
And I’m not the only one
No more will I stay silent

Do you even know how much faith you’re putting in all of them
The whitest king held high for us to see
“Ascended from the grace of God” to save us
But not from ourselves
Power-hungry as we all still starve
Find your faith
in the pocket of a con man
Make believe that they'll
save you on the alter
Soak it all up
Take it all in
Wrapped in sweet linens as we
let it all sink in
The water in which we swam in was never holy
Polluted up to our necks
Mother Earth cries out in vain
Our father have mercy for I bear the fruit
that has filled your lungs with fluid
Sleep tight almighty king it’s been long overdue
The hands that made you should have been
amputated at birth
It was never god's green earth
Come closer let me peel back the blinds
It’s all in front of us
How could we be so blind
that all this time we were never safe
Look at them cower
They head straight to the tower
Preacher, preacher, won't you bless us
We wanna feel your power
We need to be wiped clean
Doctor, doctor
Pills, pills
Just sleep it all off
Cause if it’s outta sight it’s outta mind
But not for them
It only helps them climb
