PROLETARIAT LYRICS

1. Lies Upon The Crown

Your words are unjust

Your words are unjust
Your actions cowardice
Spare me the lies of a serpents tongue
For it is poison to a sane man will
And I unlike those before you understand
I understand what is going on
I understand what is going on

Your words will not poison me
My stance shall be unwavering

2. Liberty & Tyranny

Will you stand with me against all that is unjust
Protecting those who can not protect themselves
Will you be the sight for those who are blind
Guiding them to the light of all that is true

We must not allow the crimes of a ruling class
Define a culture set on liberty and justice
Will the world always look upon us as tyrants
Corruption runs deep as propaganda finds its way

Be vigilant in the face of such lies
Know the difference between liberty and tyranny

I will not be a slave

Be vigilant in the face of such lies
Know the difference between liberty and tyranny

Will you stand with me against all that is unjust
Protecting those who can not protect themselves
Will you be the sight for those who are blind
Those who are blind

3. Insomnia

Dream for me for I can not find sleep
I can not find sleep
My eyes burning with anticipation, anticipation
Is this what you call insomnia
Insomnia

Or has my insanity over taken my dreams
What is the plot
Where is the punch line
Was there ever one when it came to madness
What is the plot
Where is the punch line
Was there ever one

I've lost my mind and I've lost my love, Insomnia
My body is ragged, I feel so weathered and so cold
My body is ragged, I feel so weathered and so cold

I've turned off the lights within my heart
And let the darkness soak in from my brain
Breathe in breathe out
Let the oxygen fill my collapsed lungs

Has my insanity over taken my dreams
What is the plot
Where is the punch line
Was there ever one

When it came to madness

I can't sleep I've been up for fucking days
I've dreamt of hell while staring straight at that wall
I'm dreaming while awake this is all a game
My hallucinations have become my friends
And we are all gathered here today

Waiting, yes, waiting on what comes next
Will my mind collapse
What is the plot
Where is the punch line
Was there ever one when it came to madness
This is insomnia devouring my dreams

4. Cycles

My mistakes are on display
I am a living breathing example of the way things
Of the way things shouldn't be
I've watched my life play on repeat
Its cycles ever lasting
My insanity has been defined by my gullible reactions
To situations I have already known
I grow tired of this
How must I change this world I've built for myself

I used to believe in you, as you were my fresh start on a world I was dying to escape

Yet I allowed the cycle to continue
And my insanity has drove us apart
I will make this promise to myself
To better my perception
Better my perception, better my choices
Better my perception, better my choices

For these tattered hands are worn from the friction of the earth
Pushing myself back up each time I have failed to do the right thing
For these tattered hands are worn from the friction of the earth
I just wish I had another moment to change course

Awaken, awaken
Breathe deep
Reverse course

Believe for a moment I tell myself that there may be no tomorrow
Believe for a moment I tell myself that there may be no tomorrow
No chance to change what you have destroyed
No chance to change

For these tattered hands are worn from the friction of the earth
Pushing myself back up each time I have failed to do the right thing
For these tattered hands are worn from the friction of the earth
I just wish I had another moment to change course

5. Wither With Me

Like the withering summer leaves in the autumn breeze I stand here clinging to life
Drained of motivation, devoid of all emotion
I have become a mere shadow of my self

We all lose our selves sometimes in the tiring days and dreary nights
We are left stuck searching for answers to questions we have created for ourselves

Regretful revelations dictate choices now
My hands have formed a callous from failing to grasp hold of the ones I've loved
Slipping through I've lost touch with you
I forgot to love you
Slipping through I've lost touch
I forgot to love you
Has this made me a better man
Having failed myself and those who put there trust in me

Like the withering summer leaf in the autumn breeze I stand here clinging to life
Drained of motivation, devoid of all emotion
I have become a mere shadow of myself

My misery is mine to keep and I won't let just anyone take that from me
I won't let you tell me how to feel
I've placed myself here and I will find my way
And I will find my way

I'll take these fractured pieces of what I call my life
I'll piece back together something stronger than before

And I will find my way
And I will find my way back to you
I'll find my way back to you if you would just wither with me

6. Searching For Something More

I will hide away burying myself in
My idea of the world
For reality and all it has offered
Has only lead me astray
It has destroyed me

Turning me against my better judgement
Leaving me alone
Must I rely on the image of such a deceitful place

I just want to be something more
I just want to be something more

In the ridges of my tattered fingers
And the creases of my tired palms lies
The history of my life
I've seen the path that I have chosen
And the road that has been set before me
I just want to change this all
I just want change

I can not allow myself to settle for selfish interactions
And regretful decisions, decisions

I just want to be something more
I just want to be something more

I will garner the strength to lift the pain from my back
No longer counting my scars while trying to find my blessings
