Fell into obscurity, never to return
It’s never the easy way that allows us to learn
The morals crucified, the ethics burned
I’ll laugh as everyone’s newly bleeding hearts yearn
CHORUS
It’s a free country but you have to pay for everything
Especially when greed and politicians share a ring
We’re paying for our own mistakes
Paying so much money for nothing, the establishment breaks
We’re falling victim to our own denial
The few people who try to save us, their actions are futile
Judgment Day will be composed by us, we can’t stop it
Especially when we’re all too busy with bureaucratic bullshit
chorus
We are the generation of hypocrisy
Doing anything for just a little money
The expenses rise when we should try to save ourselves
But instead we insist on digging our own graves and sending ourselves to Hell
Fuck the greedy people who sue everyone
Just because they know they’re rich
And fuck the preppy snobs who walk on poor for a living
Just to get across their sales pitch
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
I embrace individuality
But it’s lacking quality
In this modern world
Watch as our fate unfurls
chorus

Guardian Angel

Driving down the road, going home
I can’t wait to finally be alone
Out of the corner of my eye, a premonition flashes
Collision follows, a shower of ashes
CHORUS
Nothing could prepare me for this
Unconsciousness sucking me into it’s dark abyss
I cannot reach the phone or move my limbs
I hear the angels sing their mournful hymns
Trying to breathe begins to be hard to do
My head feels light and I try to see who
I hit and if I know them, but the windshield’s smashed
Then I hear sirens of an ambulance and I relax
chorus
I’m lucky to be alive, I thank God to death
Soon after help arrived, I caught my breath
The driver in the other car did not survive
I still cannot believe I’m still alive
chorus
Guardian angels are looking over me
Life feels better knowing that, I feel free
I got out without a scratch somehow
I pray every night before I go to bed now

The Mirror

When I look in the mirror, 2 people look back at me
Total opposites that somehow balance out perfectly
One hates everything so dearly, the other’s eternally content
You’d think they’d destroy each other, but they can’t be bent
CHORUS
One says, “Mirror, mirror, on the wall
Forget everybody, forget them all”
The other says, “Mirror, mirror, hanging there
Am I the only one who cares?”
When I look in the mirror, a walking contradiction answers back
Opposing himself without remorse or doubt because balance never lacks
One believes there’s no such thing as perfection, the other’s a perfectionist
One’s pessimistic to the bone, the other’s a strong optimist
chorus
“Mirror, mirror, on the wall
Forget everybody, forget them all”
“Mirror, mirror, hanging there
Am I the only one who cares?”

Mixed Emotions

I like unicorns and rainbows and flowers
I love music at any hour
I like people, they love each other
I especially love my mother
But I really hate hypocrites
I’ll make sure that they all get it
I going to throw you off a cliff
And laugh as I watch you disappear into the abyss
I give strangers big warm hugs
I drink from snowman coffee mugs
I feel love spreading all through the air
Falling down like a lady’s hair
But I still despise your existence
You send me in to sudden decadence
You’re the hypocrite I must destroy
So forget all the things that bring you joy
I’m angry
I’m happy
(repeat)
I have mixed emotions!!!!!
