ANTAGONIST A.D. LYRICS

1. A.D.

2. Sticks & Stones

This is where my mind escapes - to you I can't relate!
This is where my mind escapes - to you I can't relate!
I can't relate!

Blind eyes burnt black, taste torn away!
A bitter taste? Oh how I pray..
To mask that stench you create.
That black hole! The weight of it's gravity.

This is where my mind escapes - to you I can't relate!

The slow burn, the pull of negativity.
I stare through you, so paper thin, with your paper skin!
Whispered words only fall on deaf ears,
sticks and stones, I'm at peace with all my fears!

This is where my mind escapes - to you I can't relate!

Blind eyes burnt black, taste torn away!
Old friend, how did we get to this day?
Hater tell me, what the fuck do you have left?
Skin and bones - where is all your flesh?

Where is all your flesh?!
Where is all your flesh?!

Trust me as I swear, black and blue, that this song is about you!

Where is all your flesh?!

3. Gold

No real love to be felt, no true romance can be held,
when a life is measured in the accumulation of wealth!
I HAVE LEARNT!
A cold heart cannot emit warmth and a poisened mind cannot be cured!

What glory will you hold? When these lies are exposed?
Nothing gold will stay - we must find a better way!

So why won't you learn your lessons and teach them to your sons and daughters?
So this societal cancer, these poisened minds don't move further!
Why is it unreasonable to suggest an alternative sustainable future?
Where the lives we live are stronger!

What glory will you hold? When these lies are exposed?
Nothing gold will stay - we must find a better way!

Because the vultures still live!
Because the ignorant still teach!
Because the blind man still claims he sees!

Nothing gold will stay! We find a better way!
Nothing gold will stay! We find a better way!

4. Paul Allen

I feel nothing from no one, share no empathy!
But I got some problems, eating away at my sanity!
I feel nothing from no one, share no empathy!
But I got some problems, eating away at my sanity!

Just another lost soul, spinning out of control.
Don't tell me what I already know!
An endless cycle, a downward spiral!
An endless cycle, a downward spiral!

Don't stop to think, we're out of control..
You feel hollow, a hunger that just won't see an end,
no amount of water will quench..
You feel hollow, a hunter that just won't see an end,
no amount of money that you can spend..

The failings of our social environment, becoming all to apparent..
These foundations that house our sanity, will shake and..
SPLIT! SPLIT! SPLIT! SPLIT!
And I think my mask is about to..
SLIP! SLIP! SLIP! SLIP!
Don't tell me..

I'm just another lost soul, spinning out of control.
Don't tell me what I already know!
An endless cycle, a downward spiral!
An endless cycle, a downward spiral!

Can't tell you how to untangle a web..
Spun so well! Spun so well!
Can't tell you how!

5. Nothing From No One

I see your mind is sick and your body is slow!
Friend tell me now - where do we go?
I just don't know! I just don't know!

Am I the only one who doesn't share the disease?
Am I the only man who hasn't drowned in apathy?

And I feel fucked up - feel like everyone's shouting!
No home for the homesick man. I've got nowhere to go!
I'm trapped by these fucking walls..
If I didn't burn these bridges - I'd cross them all!
This will mean nothing to any of you..

AND I DON'T GIVE A FUCK!
I just want to see it all burn!

"We are the lost children of a lost generation",
because it sounds so fucking cool,
to say "WE ARE NOTHING FROM NO ONE"!
The apathetic wastes,
who care more for labels than faces - fucking disgraces!

So where do you turn, when the lights are getting low?
I sing this from the heart and you would never know,
and I don't want you too..
Because I DON'T GIVE A FUCK, ANYMORE!
I just want to watch it burn!
Let's see the world burn..
Let's see the world burn!
Let's see the world burn

6. Lovesick

It's funny to think, I penned such sweet words for you,
that I shed tears and felt real pain for you!
It's funny to think that I felt anything at all..
Now I only see a rusted anchor, you've got no soul!

And I need to tell you that, I wasted some good years under your spell!
And I need to tell you that, I was living hell!
And I'd be lying if I said, I could EVER miss you!

I swore that night you'd always be in my heart - nothing could ever tear us apart.. nothing!

And I saved you once, and I saved you twice,
stitched sliced wrists, picked you up off the floor!
Smashed that bottle that I told you to ignore..
I told you to ignore!

BROKEN EVERY VOW THAT YOU SAID TO ME!
LOVESICK!
BROKEN EVERY VOW THAT YOU SAID TO ME!
LOVESICK!

And now you wonder why I can't look you in the eye?
Because I know what I don't wanna know..
And I don't wanna know! And I don't wanna know!
How many beds you've warmed, how much flesh you've turned..
And I don't wanna know! And I don't wanna know!
How many sheets you've crawled, how many lives you've soiled..
And I don't wanna know! And I don't wanna know!

And it's funny to think, I shared anything with you!
And I regret every second I wasted on you!
And I wish for nothing, but desert and walls between us!
It's not that I hate you - I've just lost all respect..
LOVESICK!

And now you wonder why I can't look you in the eye?
LOVESICK!
And now you wonder why I can't look you in the eye?
LOVESICK!

7. Show Some Heart II

I stand here, not one but with the strength of a million,
hear their voices echo every word!
We need the world to see themselves through our eyes,
to see the poison, to see through the lies.

And I said it before - and I'll scream it again,
and I said it before - and I'll scream it again!
I'll take a stand for those who can't,
and I'll scream for those who can't speak!
I'll take a stand for those who can't,
and I'll scream for those who can't speak!
Can you hear me?
Can you feel me?

I stand here not one but with the strength of a million,
hear their voices echo every word.
We need the world to see themselves through our eyes,
to see the poison, to see through the lies.

Do you feel the guilt? Do you?
Do you feel the guilt? Do you?

Show.. Show some heart!
Show.. Show some heart!

And I said it before - and I'll scream it again,
I'll take a stand for those who can't,
and I'll scream for those who can't speak!

8. I'm Not There

I feel your eyes on me!
Hear your voices speaking my name - DOUBT!
Sinks in those daggers dig so deep man,
so deep, I can't explain!
What happened to that thick skin? That kept my sanity in..
Now I'm just wasting away, bright eyes fading fast!
I am always at my ends, always at my ends!

So when did I make the time to dig a ditch so big that oceans surround me?
That's how far I feel from reality..
You might look at me and think:
He's just not there!

He's just not there! He's just not there!
He's just not there! He's just not there!

And I stare at myself, staring at you, and I just don't care,
because I'm not there.. no!

I'm miles away, an ocean away!
For all of those lost inside,
you know the true power of your mind!

That the nightmare is when you're awake,
and sleep is the only escape - the world is cold and every crowded street you are alone,
blinded by eyes and judging thoughts, silenced by others words..
The world is cold and every crowded street you are alone.

Whiles others fight for attention, and fight for the centre stage,
we slip back, we fade away.

And so we fight - and we win!

9. Violence

I wonder how we can not react with violence and pure hate,
when that's all we've ever been shown, when it's all we have ever known?
And I wonder if one day when the shackles are broken,
if the masters will see mercy, when mercy is unknown?

How?
When no mercy has been shown..
HOW DO I SEE?
With this black cloud surrounding me!
HOW CAN I FEEL?
Love when it's drowned in misery..

To awake a mind that's only been taught to sleep? - Give me relief!
And I fucking hate this negative shit!
Possessed and consumed by every thought unsavory. - Show me clarity!
And I fucking hate this negative shit!

And I'm sick of staring at the tongues in your fucking cheeks,
and I'm sick of everyday being so god damned fucking grey!

Come at me! Come at me! Come at me!
I'll open a mind blinded by negativity!
Show me release, to awake a mind that's only been taught to sleep? - Give me relief!
And I fucking hate this negative shit!
Possessed and consumed by every thought unsavory. - Show me clarity!
And I fucking hate this negative shit!

HOW DO I SEE?
With this black cloud surrounding me!
HOW CAN I FEEL?
Love when it's drowned in misery..

And I wonder if one day when shackles are broken,
if the masters will see mercy - when mercy is unknown.

10. War Crimes

Speak to me kid - tell me what you see.
The reflection of this worlds pain & misery?
Look into these eyes - tell me what you see.
Can you feel the pain?
Can you feel the gravity?

Look into yourself - tell me what you see.
Are you the answer?
Are you the problem?

Every single one of you, is fucking guilty!

For crimes against this world!
Can you taste it? Can you taste it?
The blood in your fucking mouth!
Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
The weight of a thousand lifes!
What can you tell me to justify?

I can see your weak, you need to lie to yourself.
The tongue in your cheek, I'll make a martyr of you!
I see your weak!
Can you tell me why thousands die? I see your weak!
To satisfy an unwarranted way of life? I see your weak!
Can you tell me why? Can you tell me why?

Speak to me kid - tell me what you see.

Can you taste it? Can you taste it?
The blood in your fucking mouth!
Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
The weight of a thousand lifes!
What can you tell me to justify?

11. Epsom

I live a life of spite!

We are all diseased, a cancer, rotting in these concrete tombs!
We built the cages, we joined the chains!
Now we lie motionless..
THESE CITIES - OUR GRAVES!

Like the crosses cemented to the hillside,
still dated but here after all this time.
A reminder of a disease that still flows like blood through these streets!

Please believe you're apart of this, we can make a difference!
I don't blame the symptoms, I blame the cause!
And it's in our foundations, in lines these halls!
I don't blame the symptoms, I blame the disease!
It's blinding, it's deafening! APATHY!

Murderer, how can you sleep?
Parasite, dancing on our asphalt graves..
Blind eye turn black, taste burnt away, no sour taste in..
THESE CITIES, OUR GRAVES!

Like the crosses cemented to the hillside,
still dated but here after all this time.
A reminder of a disease that still flows like blood through these streets!

Please believe you're apart of this, we can make a difference!
I don't blame the symptoms, I blame the cause!
And it's in our foundations, in lines these halls!
I don't blame the symptoms, I blame the disease!
It's blinding, it's deafening! APATHY!

I'm not looking for a scapegoat, I'm as guilty as anyone else,
but at least I'm fucking trying..
"At least I'm fucking trying!"
I made my choices and I still believe in a life lived standing..

I live a life of spite!
So let it rain on me!
So let it rain on me!

So let it rain on me!
