What’s becoming of the human race? There was a time that the pieces fit, but I watched them slip away, society crumbles down the black cliff face.
Now I struggle against time to make it work, time ticks down the drain and its lost in vain, but only blurred shapes remain.
Crawling through all this pain, this fucking shit is driving me insane, my time is wasted again, what is left to gain, your messing with my head. I HATE YOUR FUCKING GAMES!
 
School kids in the back of fuzz cars and thrown behind bars, being torn apart and trying to salvage what’s left of their heart.
There is nothing they can do to save their souls; they are sacrificed in their own name, which is smothered in their own filthy shame. The meaning of our society is gone, forgotten, smothered under the government and criminal cotton.
 
Teen of 13, smokes pot and fucks a lot. A bad kid in school, the teachers are getting to the end of their tether, can’t control the little shit. It hangs out on the streets, smashing things, fighting, flighting and biting. Tagging the walls with stupid scrawl, getting into brawls, and barred from all the malls. It wears its hat to the side; it lets everything important slide aside. It can’t cry for it has no feelings left in its miniscule sized heart. Its brain doesn’t gain, its just plain, blank and empty. Its going down and it’ll learn one day, its fucked a life it could’ve had.

It’s now 16, and behind bars again.  Arrogance blinds it, a chick in the nest, it still expects. Mouth wide open wanting the goods but it never gives. Mummy and daddy don’t giva shit. They laugh in its face, pack up and leave. They’re not going to bail it out again. It will never hear from them again.
It’s stupidity has pushed everything away from it, family have had enough; they’ve gotten tough and cracked down on the little shit.

Our society isn’t right, life is messed, life is screwed, if life is screwed then us, the human race is screwed too… School kids in the back of fuzz cars and thrown behind bars, being torn apart and trying to salvage what’s left of their heart.
There is nothing they can do to save their souls; they are sacrificed in their own name, which is smothered in their own filthy shame. The meaning of our society is gone, forgotten, smothered under the government and criminal cotton.

"Remedy"

Seether

Throw your dollar bills and leave your thrills all here with me
And speak but don't pretend I won't defend you anymore you see
It aches in every bone, I'll die alone, but not for you
My eyes don't need to see that ugly thing, I know it's me you fear
If you want me hold me back

Frail, the skin is dry and pale, the pain will never fail
And so we go back to the remedy
Clip the wings that get you high, just leave them where they lie
And tell yourself, "You'll be the death of me"

I don't need a friend, I need to mend so far away
So come sit by the fire and play a while, but you can't stay too long
It aches in every bone, I'll die alone, but not for pleasure
I see my heart explode, it's been eroded by the weather here
If you want me hold me back

Frail, the skin is dry and pale, the pain will never fail
And so we go back to the remedy
Clip the wings that get you high, just leave them where they lie
And tell yourself, "You'll be the death of me"
Frail, the skin is dry and pale, the pain will never fail
And so we go back to the remedy
Clip the wings that get you high, just leave them where they lie
And tell yourself, "You'll be the death of me"

Hold your eyes closed, take me in
Hold your eyes closed, take me in

Frail, the skin is dry and pale, the pain will never fail
And so we go back to the remedy
Clip the wings that get you high, just leave them where they lie
And tell yourself, "You'll be the death of me"
Frail, the skin is dry and pale, the pain will never fail
And so we go back to the remedy
Clip the wings that get you high, just leave them where they lie
And tell yourself, "You'll be the death of me"
