lyrics

"Torn Eyelids, Open Iris"

Hook:

What goes up must come down…
What goes around… comes around,

Strife Verse 1:

Some folks say,
Good things come to those who wait
But Patience ain’t a virtue, hesitatin’
known to hurt you
why my crew won’t obey curfew
straight to the tomb from your birth too
Bosses killin’ over-work you
Was it all worth jewels
consumer junk in this plastic nation
with the high cost of domestication
Drastic patrons silence those that questions
Still you askin’ and contestin’
We Need more than second-guessing,
lessons digested raw… and fed us
without testing of the flawed premise,
gold-rush seekers, skizophrenic
finders, keepers,
screaming losers weepers,
the outcome lookin’ bleaker,
before I meet the reeper,
I’ll cut the eye-lids off all the sleepers

Verse 2:

What’s the cost of working for a boss
Ya Getting strangled by the long arm of the law
Invisible fist of the market, stays clenched,
Crack the beasts jaws,
Then I’ll spark shit, dig a trench and stay sharp

Verse 3:

Born with a scowl on my face
An inborn hatred for the jakes
Make the powerful quake,
You hear ya fates Inescapable,
But my spirit’s never ever ever ever be breakable

Verse 4:

My sole ambition… overthrow capitalism
My highest aspiration… ta shake the faith in nations
My one true yearning… leave every flag burning
My only desire, see these mansions set on fire
