lyrics

"Ground to the Bone"

Strife Verse:

Time is what Flies
Lies are what Blind,
Ties known to Bind
(Like) nine to five grinds
Got a knife to my spine
Demonically, Economically stratified
Syphonically Embryonically pacified
There’s no checks and balances, or oversight
Those holdin’ golden chalices mold ya sight
So you salute the flying Stars and Stripes
More like iron bars and hype
Fire, scars, and gripes
Tires, tar and blight
This final hour has
brought a Power Clash, towers crashed
We trade cash for chaos, peace for greed,
Past leaders political payoffs that make us all bleed
we compete over layoffs in times of need/,
media leeches keep us brainwashed on our knees,
(til) we can’t see the horrendous cost,
of some living stupendous posh,
they lost, heart so cold they breath frost
in a nation of sheep run by wolves
who gets double-crossed?

Hook:

You got us ground to the bone, so we’ll bring it to your thrown
You lit the fire of our desire to make you burn with all you own


Bloom Verse:

Fuck apathy they got their dreams for the future plastered on billboards ads telling us when and what to take pills for everyones in a pharmacutical haze following the latest drug craze while the real poison pushers stay paid
Tell me doctor, whats my diagnosis got a little bit of that feminist psychosis
Got a pill to keep me your sweet little hostess
Ive got all of these crazy thoughts in my head like how ive the right to be fed and tell you to make your own goddamn bed guess all that doll training went to waste, im just another lost case
