DISARRAY LYRICS

1. Depths Of The Wreckage

I've been cursed, betrayed
Tortured without remorse in this land of waste
On this earth I decay
Hater of all ‒ an image I portray

For as a child I was convinced
You get what you give, you get what you earn
But now I realize the truth
These words of old were nothing more than false hope

My left swept aside
The corporate American dollar dictates the ride
To my name not a dime
The wealthy laugh and prosper as I die

But as a child I was convinced
You get what you give, you get what you earn
Now I realize the truth
These words of old were nothing more than false hope

Our hearts grow bitter as the truth unfolds
In the depths of the wreckage one word says all…

Hate

2. To This Day

I've been given nothing
All that I have I've gotten on my own
Ain't got a pot to piss in
I hope one day I'll reap all I have sown
Seen many peers go to the top
Still these shallow trenches I call home
The system loves to drag me down
But time and time again I get back up

And I stand tall, my pride is bruised yet I'm content
Not all success is measured in dollars and cents
I blink my eyes and your fifteen minutes are up
As time goes by look who's still around

And to this day I know what I'm talking about
To this day I've got both feet on the ground
To this day I play what I feel in my gut
To this day I bow down to no one
To this day

I've been working so long
And still the break I need hasn't showed up
Sometimes I feel like giving in
But something tells me I still ain't had enough
I try and try and try again
To finally gain the status I deserve
Rejection fuels the fire
So set my soul ablaze and watch me burn

In this corporate world the hype and image make me sick
When it's for real the fame and money don't mean shit
I blink my eyes and your fifteen minutes are up
As time goes by look who's still around

3. Voice Of Reason

Just because I laugh doesn't mean I'm happy
I was just envisioning your death
Just because I'm known don't mean I got it easy
Actually my life's a total wreck

Just because I speak doesn't mean I like you
I could care less if you live or die
Just because I'm broke doesn't mean I'm struggling
You can't get ahead in this world so I don't try

What's gonna be is gonna be
There ain't a damn thing I can do
Gain some strength from the pain
Or you can die there
It's up to you

Voice of reason

Just because I scream doesn't mean I'm crazy
I'm just relieving stress from my poor mind
Just because I'm alone doesn't mean I'm lonely
I've got the same number of friends as my back's got knives

4. Open Wounds (Self Inflict)

The hourglass slowly drains of life
Pressures and stress burn my insides
Taking chances, collect what's mine
Do all I can within this lifetime

In the race for myself
I control the outcome

Coward people conform their minds
Stick with the normal, live half assed shit lives
Not for me I try to be the best
If I fail I'll take the consequences

In the race for myself
I control the outcome
These open wounds I self inflict
These open wounds I self inflict

If I risk nothing
I will gain nothing
I will be nothing
These open wounds I self inflict

5. Neverending Quest For Revenge

Abuse me for your sole enjoyment
Bore me with your piss pathetic lives
Enjoy the hell you've brought upon me
It's coming back on you multiplied

The never ending quest for it
The never ending quest for revenge

You kick my legs out from under me
Now you'd best watch your back when I rise
Cause I'll break your arms and rip your spine out
Throw glass shavings in your eyes

The never ending quest for it
The never ending quest for revenge

I have traveled down a road paved with tears
I have fought my way through life all these years
But soon I'll get my chance to win
Soon I'll thrive
Soon I will put an end to my strife

Revenge

6. Path Of No Regrets

Scenic route to hell with no resistance
Though it's been a struggle it's something I'd never change
Since I was a child I have always known
There'd be many miles of nasty ass road
But compromise equals regret

Around the world enough to find
You go for broke or fall in line
Nothing to fear, could die today
But for now I'm riding down the path I paved

Your negative views do not affect me
You're the definition of what I don't want to be
People waste their lives spinning in the dirt
But when all is said and done what's it all worth?
Yeah compromise equals regret

Around the world enough to find
You go for broke or fall in line
Nothing to fear, could die today
But for now I'm riding down the path I paved
The path of no regrets

7. This World

Something burns in my mind, yeah
Through the mile high flames of hell I walked alone, head held high
Years of struggle and here I stand
Still I have to prove myself
When will I own your respect?
Waited all my life to live
So I could see this day
Invested all my time in this
I will not let you take it away from me

Cause I've come this far and I ain't turning back
Heart filled of rage and war
I will not be taken out

My point of existence, reason to live
My childhood dream, my destiny
My lifelong mission until my final breath
This life's a lesson will I learn from it?

Pushing the boundaries of an indie band
All of this I do myself no helping hand, nothing
Stab me end my suffering
Years of sacrifice and pain
Still the light at the end of the tunnel burns
Waited all my life to live
So I could see this day
Invested all my time in this I will not let you take it away from me

Cause I've come this far and I ain't turning back
Heart filled of rage and war
I will not be taken out

My point of existence, reason to live
My childhood dream, my destiny
My lifelong mission until my final breath
This life's a lesson, will I learn from it or not?

I can't tell if I'll be here past today
So I'll keep moving onward
Until I depart from this world

8. Powers That Be

Staring in the face of God
Wondering how I let myself fall down this low
I hate myself I hate my life
Wish I could turn back time and not be born

My life

Spend my time in an endless grind
This is what I have become
A victim of a system that I cannot rise above

But I will not submit myself
To your world of greed
I will not surrender my life
To the powers that be
The powers that
Powers that be

All my life I've been a slave
Held down by the factors I can't control
You force feed pain, manipulate
I'm sickened by everything that you stand for

My life

Spend my time in an endless grind
This is what I have become
A victim of a system that I cannot rise above

But I will not submit myself
To your world of greed
I will not surrender my life
To the powers that be
The powers that
Powers that be

Weight of this fallen world pulls me under
Try to lift myself from the ashes

The powers that be

9. I'll Be Standing

You're just another spoiled fake, upper class ass wipe
Family money paid your way straight into the spotlight
But it all becomes so apparent
Your weakness, despair seem to

Rise above, rise above the second-rate hype
One of those things where you are given more than due
And still you think that the world owes you a favor
That's not the way I feel

You never had your share of hard times and pain, I've had mine
It's been a day to day never-ending uphill climb
Still I go the distance through pain and persistence
While you're content with the boundaries set I define

There will come a day when you choke on your silver spoon
And when you finally reach your rock bottom, just remember

I'll be standing until the death

10. Burned Soul

In a frail mental state
Can't pick myself up from this all time low
Looking back on past days
Where I have been, what have I done?
My frustration escalates
To the point of self-extinction

For I have been thrown into this hell
My day to day fight to exist, there's no point in life
Nothing to gain

Hatred builds within me
Blistered mind erosion
Darkness swallows me whole
Demons live in my burned soul

Reached the end of my chain
Can't find a reason to proceed on
Like a pistol, point blank
I'm expected to fucking go off
Innocent lives I'll take
Without reason, without remorse

11. Life Is Gone

I close my eyes and think of ways I can rise above
A world that wants me
To fade away and never matter at all
Nobody told me life would be so unkind
They're always messing with my mind

I'm a survivor
My scars are deep and my body's worn
And while the world cowers
I stare straight into the eye of the storm
Father told me to prepare for a fight
Make the most of your life
That's why

Never back down
Pile on the pressure, gonna roll right through
This time I'm not gonna be sent home
Stand up, scream out
Keep your head held high, yeah win or lose
You've got to do all that you want
Before your life is gone
