Seven Ages - Lyrics

At War
At war with humanity, trying to reach the truth, I question the authorities on their so-called facts. I am not so quick to believe just what I've heard, but I need to see the truth for myself. Now this does not mean I will ignore others' ideas, because it's through one another we will find our truth, but what I will not recieve is someone who will try to force feed me their beliefs which they follow without question.

At war with humanity
No one can guide you but yourself
At war with humanity
Don't try to put your thoughts on to me
At war with humanity
How long can you take this
At war with humanity
Trying to reach the truth

What I didn't want, they gave to me. When I questioned, they force fed me. I tried to learn, but they did not want to teach; they only wanted to convert. I won't let it happen again. I won't let it happen again...

This time, I will guide myself.


Trust
Never knew  you'd act this way
Never knew  you'd be so blind
Worried  with petty shit
Concerns  raised every time
Invent  a rivaly
Poison  your feeble mind
Egos  have been involved
Nothing  can go right

I can't define  the way I feel
The way you act  it's just not right

Off on  an ego trip
Seen this  so many times
Feel sorry  for yourself
No one's  fault but your own
So quick  to place the blame
She  does not deserve
Hateful  words are a joke
Off her back  into my hands

It's my problem now


Separation
Winners keep winning
Losers remain lost
Wealth opens doors
They never had a chance

Separation, Descrimination

Monetary value
Placed on human life
Opportunities lost
They never had a chance

Separation, Descrimination


Eighty Percent
Manufactured beauty
Hollow plastic bodies

Force fed attraction
Assembly line appeal
Unjust ideals placed upon you
It makes me sick

Unjust ideals placed upon you
Standards you could never live up to
Goals you could never reach
You're breaking yourself to fit this mold

Break the fucking mold
It makes me sick

I could close my eyes to this
And wish it all away
But too many eyes are already shut
And nothing's ever changed

I hate seeing you reduced to a false form of beauty
Too many images telling you how to be

How to be...


Inherrent
Relentless pain steals my breath
My heart collapses
Under your hand
My mouth sewn shut
My mouth sewn shut
Holding back all the words I can only dream of screaming
My triumphant mutiny
Only a fantasy
I am frozen

As the hate builds
I turn away
Trying to hide
The shame in my eyes

I cry 'more weight'
Knowing that you'll never let up
Will it ever be enough

I can't run
I can't scream
I can only purge this pain I feel

I asked for nothing
That's what you gave

So now I wait
Hiding inside myself
Waiting for the day
That I can break free
And walk away
From you
And your fucking footsteps
I'll never follow you

One day my life will truly be my own
