BACKJUMPER LYRICS

1. Whoreship Statute

I won't stand on my own
I won't be a detached beholder
I won't be another puppet in their hands
I won't be another death concealed as tragedy
I stand on my guts, with two feet, and my own mind
I starve with my pride, but I'll feed it with hate

Paved with strenght, Built with consciousness
Marked by deception and Fueled by revenge

Selfishness is their lifeblood
Hungry for fame, Infamous cowards
like snakes, their venom is deadly
But more fatal are their proclamations

It's all going to the wrong side, man!
This threat's real
What I see, I truly can't forget

Perfect Patethical Picture of this world

It's all going to the wrong side
going to the right side of them
It's all going to the wrong side man
the wrong side
the wrong side

They want me to quit, but I Keep up the pace

This threat's real
What I see, I truly can't forget

Paved with strenght, Built with consciousness
Marked by deception and Fueled by revenge

2. Two-Sided Dagger

They're made of
flesh, lust, death and evil
simple words to describe the implicit fear of men
They're afraid of the unknown
a construct / coming straight from the ancients
What John sees has no meaning
What John sees is different from the usual, dread.
The thrill lies within our minds
so infested of predetermined points of view

it's a simple dogma to understand:
you get what you see, you see what you get
the so called "good" without "evil"
never gets the chance for, the chance for

The eventual get us used to it, as way of control
never to understand the other side of the cross
it's a fucking weakness
Our condition is not been written before
it's getting written now
The fear of the neighbour
will get us close to end, to the deadline

it's a simple dogma to understand:
you get what you see, you see what you get
the so called "good" without "evil"
never gets the chance for, the chance for

it's a simple dogma to understand:
you get what you see, you see what you get
the so called "good" without "evil"
never gets the chance for, the chance for retrieval

For how long we will take?
We'll this shelter for granted?
I said for how long can we take it, for granted?

"Look down at me and you see a fool,
look up at me and you see a god,
look straight at me and you see yourself."

you'll see yourself.

The two sides of this dagger
are blood brothers.
Meet them on the shadow zone.
Never to come back, never to return.

never to return
The two sides of this dagger.

3. The Blessing

My lifetime commitment
our lives united by the same pledge
lot of stories left behind
lot of roads coming straight ahead
and there is nothing wrong about it
to know from where we came from
we chose this life years ago
we chose to reap what we sow

we chose to fulfill our destiny
through the same honest bet
living a life with no regret
trying to forgive but not to forget
this is what we've always been
this is why we're still here

we're cast, miles away, but we still remember everything
We're a million miles away, but we still got the blessing

We're drifters, with no land to reach
all is clear, none to believe
Our whole lives are becoming our efforts
trying to keep real forever
trying to keep it fucking real forever
is slowly becoming our hymn
our will to survive never fades
never to be afraid

we chose to fulfill our destiny
through the same honest bet
living a life with no regret
trying to forgive but not to forget
this is what we've always been
this is why we're still here

we're cast, miles away, but we still remember everything
We're a million miles away, but we still got the blessing

I'm constantly spilling my guts on a piece of paper
letting the world to know how I feel
Bruises not hided, words screamed it, out loud
This is my life, my will, My devotion
Try to deny us now

We're not going to stop this
No matter what you've been through
and now whatever will come, will come for us
Look out,
we are going to keep with us this momentum
it's on and on and on
it brings us to the next chapter, till it's written down
this time next time and time again

I'm constantly spilling my guts on a piece of paper
letting the world to know how I feel
Bruises not hided, words screamed it, out loud
This is my life, my will, My devotion
Try to deny us now

4. Black Youth

I've heard about brain drain,
unemployment and inflation
But I define all this with the word brainwashing
While we struggle to seize the day
corruption feeds our stomach
They fuck with our lives again

black youth, burning fast
is burning fast in flames
This world is becoming the Hall of Shame
the Hall of Shame

If there's a line
I've heard thousand times
It's "Vote for me
and we'll change the world"
The only thing I vote for
is your exctincion
We all met in the end, same floor, same dust my friend

black youth, burning fast
is burning fast in flames
This world is becoming the Hall of Shame
the Hall of Shame

There's no real need to say
"we are building the future"
like the graves we are digging ourselves, right now

And you'll have the picture
of what we became
through what can't we see
and what we can't we blame

It's sold on screens
Turn it up, bleed for me
Mind out there, for the collision

That's the set up coming down
Welcome to falsehood.
That's the set up coming down

They fuck with our lives again

black youth, burning fast
is burning fast in flames
This world is becoming the Hall of Shame
the Hall of Shame

There's no real need to say
"we are building the future"
like the graves we are digging ourselves, right now

And you'll have the picture
of what we became
through what can't we see
and what we can't we blame
what can't we see
and what we can't we blame

5. The Day I Died

Searching for a meaning
lasting a lifetime, wasting nights
without taking care
of what it could have been

Actions have no sense but there were consequences
Nothing was truly clear and unaffected
Until I realized

Until I truly crossed
the Day I Died
It is painted through my synapses
I stole your life to give
a meaning to mine

Watch me from a different perspective
just like everybody else's ever done
Brother, put your defenses down
The blessing for that day
the king has lost the crown

Under the stars, I see no light for me
I'm choking on life
and the reflection of my eyes is blank
my breath is cold
We're floating away as we're getting old

One more day that could have pass
But it's never left behind
It seemed to go nowhere
just like everyday

But that voices inside my head
broke all the securities away
to live and regret
to love and forget
Still was not ready yet

I used all my chemicals to become unvulnerable
To behave on a path leading me to a huge void
that became my life, my actions and my integrity
Something happened inside of me changing me dreadfully
The acceptance of a new shadow
a shadow becoming my skin
I will never see you again
I will never see you again

Under the stars, I see no light for me
I'm choking on life
and the reflection of my eyes is blank
my breath is cold
We're floating away as we're getting old

Discomfort,
like pouring rain into a sunny day
Limbs outstretched
we're all consumed
but breathing entwined in oblivion

6. Wolves At My Door

Black days, chaos true,
bad nights step in this nightmare again
and there is nothing that we can do now
even though we can't accept this concept
of malice, hope and vengeance

It's a disease that we long to cure, invain
from those who decided euthanasia
before And now I'm cold
from the top of my head to the toes
feeling desperate will not help me, this time it won't help me

That's not your face always known
it's so easy to hide yourself behind a shield
that makes you feel so damn secure, no
meanwhile I'm fighting the demons sent to me
sent to me
you sent to me

And that there is nothing that we can do now
even though we can't accept this concept
of malice, hope and vengeance

but I've chosen the long road home
I decided to cut right through me
and i'm still beating my chest with my own knife
and once again
i can say that I'm feeling desperate

Head what it's left for me
As I keep on feeling empty
Head what it's left for me
As i feel empty
Nothing is left for me

Noone else around, a desert town
A big city of streets blinded by compromise
There is no - one left to hurt
when hurt's not a feeling anymore
with wolves angry at my door

That's not your face always known
it's so easy to hide yourself behind a shield
that makes you feel so damn secure, no
meanwhile I'm fighting the demons sent to me
sent to me
you sent to me

they're still knocking at my door

7. When Breathing Doesn't Mean Living

Outsiders
like waves back to the shore
like a child left alone in this world
They got no heroes there
They got no heroes there

Realize the worst is you
the worst is still yet to come and reveal
You got to set it free
You got to set it free

This is no place for us
This is no place for the hopeless romantics
From the bottom of earth
This is no place
for those who seek understanding

Like waves back to the shore
like a child left alone in this world
They got no heroes there
They got no heroes there

Realize the worst is you
the worst is still yet to come and reveal
You got to set it free
You got to set it free

This is no place for us
This is no place for the hopeless romantics
From the bottom of earth
This is no place
for those who seek understanding

My enemies right in front of me
Armed with lies and hypocrisy
Awaiting me to do the first move
the first move to the grave

The whispers
in my head
They don't whisper anymore
they all fuckin scream

When breathing doesn't mean living
The first move to the grave
When breathing doesn't mean living
The first move to the grave

Said and done
not afraid if the fact leaves its ghost
but you're still there waiting me to do

The first move, the first move, the first move

cover up and settle down
Holding over our bid farewell now
that one day will come
to release all the consequences

8. Lowlife

Behind
those fuckin screens
you're all so tough, you're all so mean
you're spitting shit
on the ones who believe
just because your life didn't brought you anything

Living lowlife
Like a rat will bring you pain and disease
your daily dose of hatred feeds your overdose
is getting worse now, it gets so close

Failure
Nobody's scarred for free
you coward, to the bone
You'll be dead if keep living through me

Lowlife ain't gonna change
Yeah you'll die with nothing at all

your filth
has built the walls of your room
punk ass bastard

Filled up
with anxiety
But that's your fault, don't stare at me
So sad for you
for the fucks I don't give
just because I'm scarred but not broken

Junk head fakin'
keyboard wankin'
Like a rat will bring you pain and disease
your daily dose of hatred feeds your overdose
is getting worse now, it gets so close

Failure
Nobody's scarred for free
you coward, to the bone
You'll be dead if keep living through me

Lowlife ain't gonna change
yeah, you'll die with nothing at all

your filth
has built the walls of your room
punk ass bastard

Your image of me, it's what defines you
You wretched
You frustrated
the only thing you can do is hate

Still eagerly await for your days to end
No need to mend
all the curses you sent to me
the only thing you can do is envy
so frustrated
so low, and lower

I am counting down the days
And I don't need to mend, no need to mend
'cause your presence is worthless

And I am keeping up the place
And I don't need revenge, don't need revenge
'cause you ain't gonna change

9. No Coming Back

It's all about the blood
The passion and no tears
that's how it was
Crowd surfing, real poems and sing-a-longs

that's clearly how it's supposed to be
Before the show went flat
Before the fashion took over

Our target is to bring it back
to the streets
Where the heart's not gone
Where reality stands strong

Nothing can touch us now
if we all, get along
United we stand, Divided we fall

There's no coming back
We still settle for nothing
Come on come on
There's no coming back
We bring the noise in

Something happened
and it's quite simple how
Sellouts created
discomfort in the crowd

They sold out the realness
of the glory days
salad days
like someone always used to say

A Black flag showed us
how to roll
How to unshape
the punk that was
supposed to come

while someone in the waiting room
doing by self what he had to do
In the underground
integrity lies within

There's no coming back
We still settle for nothing
Come on come on
There's no coming back
We bring the noise in

Every single track burns
And every single trace is near
Every single track burns

And every single trace is near
Every single track burns

We will not be so far
our message stands clear
take a deep breath
guide your wrath
channel it

Every single track burns
And every single trace is near
Every single track burns

I'm not gonna move
Cause I'm here to stay
and share my thoughts
for the ones in need
for the ones about to be broken
with arms open wide

When hope is nowhere to be found
Try to find the strenght to keep the lights on
For every heartache
for every single wound
This saves from getting lost
When you're laying down
When your temper touches the ground
get in, get sedated
spirit's not gone, not faded

flow it into the aftermath
cut back the deadwood
sail back from the flood
till air fills my lungs
Until I will have a word to say
I choose not to disappear
When hope is nowhere to be found
Try to find the strenght to keep the lights on
For every heartache
for every single wound
This saves from getting lost
When you're laying down
When your temper touches the ground
get in, get sedated
spirit's not gone, not faded.
