VLAD LYRICS

1. Temecula

The most depressing place that I've ever known
Is the place that for almost twenty years I've called home
I've done everything I can to get away
And the older I get, I hate it more everyday

I take long walks outside at night
Underneath our glorious sky
With the moon and the stars in my eyes
Praying to be saved from this place I despise

I walk through the darkness alone
I never see another living soul
I ask out loud if I'm the only one
Who's even trying to be alive anymore

The only humans that I see
Are driving in cars or staring at screens
Staying inside their boxes or asleep
Is it really only me?

I have no brothers, no sisters, and no friends
I don't even have a pet
I would gladly end my life
If I wasn't my own best fucking friend

It's just me in a world of enemies
I'm alone in my wake, and they're asleep
I have absolutely no one to tell
How it feels to be trapped in this cold, concrete hell
[2x]

2. Ribbons

My mind is clutching at the fringes
I am breaking off the hinges
Insanity abducts what I see
My anger is torturing me

My depression is ever growing
My mind's expansion, ever slowing
I'm dying within myself,
Though I refuse to receive any help

I'm living in my own grave
My soul, my thoughts will not save
Death wants to get me alone
I feel it deep inside my bones

Sometimes I feel I want to cry
Because of this supposed life
Society is ever a lie
The only way out is to die

I feel the Devil's unblinking eyes
I am being judged and scrutinized
Picking me apart into pieces
Shredding my existence into ribbons
[2x]

3. Deadweight 

I have tried to be there for my friends
Who have betrayed me in the end
As I grew up, I began to realize
That I owe nothing to anyone

Most people I've met are just lies
A vacuum of a person with nothing inside
Always needing or wanting something else
I just wish they were content

Frying their brains with several different drugs,
Or too sober and conceited to fucking stand
Ignorant and unconscious by their own conscious choice,
Too weak to handle anything themselves

I cannot carry all of you on my back,
Don't blame me for being tired as Hell
I cannot drag you up from the pit you are in
When you don't even help me help yourself

Spiritual deadweight
Emotional vampire
It's as if you don't even care
It seems as if you never have

Stop dragging people down with you
That's not what real friends are supposed to do
You think that you're the only one in pain?
And I thought I was the one that was insane

4. Negative

How dare you call me negative
When you're trying to get a reaction out of me?
Just because I simply don't agree
With your false sense of positivity

Do you even remember how to feel
Anything other than what you want to feel?
I will never take any advice
From someone who ignores all of the problems in their life

Just what the Hell did you expect-
For every single person to give you respect?
You feel so entitled to happiness
I know you're miserable, you slimy piece of shit

Don't wriggle away from what's inside
Just because it's not rainbows and fairies in your life
You erase memories of your past away from your mind,
So you haven't learned any lesson, behind a mask you hide

Your happy thoughts just drag me down
You think you're enlightened, but I see you as a clown
It's like I'm doing all the thinking and all the feeling for you
You're just a smiling zombie telling me what to do

5. Go To School, Get A Job

The catch 22's of living today
Make no sense to me, it seems like a mistake
How we slave and slave to get paid
To earn the things we should have anyway

I have to get a job so I can have a car
I have to get a car so I can have a job
I have to eat to work, I have to work to eat
I'm taxed from my paycheck, and to buy what I need

I'm taxed to live, and I'm taxed to sleep
It's illegal for me to sleep in the streets
I can't be homeless without dealing with police
It makes me wish that I was deceased

How can I do this by myself?
I don't want to rely on anyone else
How can I afford the education for a job
When my job doesn't pay me enough to start?

Many have preached that this system is corrupt,
But apparently their words are not enough
Where is the change we've been promised for years?
I wish I could pay my dues with my blood and tears
[2x]

Go to school, get a job
[4x]

6. Soulfood

You say that you love me,
You teach me that you hate me
I said that I only trust you,
You taught me that I don't
You said you understand,
You showed me that you can't
When I told you that you have my heart,
I didn't mean for you to rip it from my chest

I loathe the population of people,
Yet I keep letting them inside
You told me that I am welcome,
Yet I was treated as though I were unwanted
I never mean to intrude,
Yet it's all I seem to do
I wish I could go back in time through space
And be reborn within the archaic human race

Everything is ugly here
I am filled with hate and fear
All I wanted was to love,
My inner child was murdered

I want to leave this place,
But yet I hold a wretched hope
Maybe one day I will be at peace
I am pessimistic now, to say the least

I try not to blame anyone,
But somehow I know it was you
You took my innocence,
And used it as soulfood
[2x]

7. Inhuman

When I was just a kid in school,
I had constant painful migraines
The kids made fun of me, so I was alone
I sat by myself and drew images of death

The staff and the students all hated me,
And I never did anything
This continued into high school
As my migraines began to wear off

They called me ugly, among other things
Some even screamed at my presence
I was called a vampire,
Apparently I was a monster

I never understood why I was treated this way,
And I am still confused to this very day
I feel so separate from humanity,
I'm starting to think that they were right all along

Did they sense I'm not one of them,
Before I even knew it myself?
It's taken me until I became an adult
To feel that I am indeed

Inhuman [3x]

Humanity is disgusting to me,
Everybody is the same
Egotistical, dramatic, and cruel
A herd of morons that just make noises and drool

If you feel the same as I,
I'm truly sorry for your loss
I wish I could take the both of us
And transport us somewhere else entirely
[2x]

Inhuman [2x]

8. Anti-social

I'm so sick and tired of hearing you
So much that I don't know what to do
I don't think you're handsome, pretty, or smart
I could find your personality cheap at the mini-mart

You think you're clever, funny, and kind
People like you make people like me lose our minds
I hate who you are, what you believe in, and stand what for
Being forced to be around you at any time is a chore

Everything you do, and everything you say
Makes me contemplate suicide every day
You do things so backwards, I don't even know where to start
I wish that God would just decide to rip you apart

Because you're human, I find your existence crude
Can anyone blame for looking at you as food?
You're human cattle, you're sheep in a flock
The only difference is that you walk on two legs and you talk

Everything you do, and everything you say
Makes me contemplate suicide every day
You do things so backwards, I don't even know where to start
I wish that God would just decide to rip you apart

Because you're human, I find your existence crude
Can anyone blame for looking at you as food?
You're human cattle, you're sheep in a flock
The only difference is that you walk on two legs and you talk

Anti-social [16x]

9. Chorus Of Malice

Where you see city lights, there used to be trees
Where you see buildings, there used to be beings
Where you see stores, there used to be farms
Where you see cars, there used to be animals

Look at what this place has become
A place of despair, a world undone
Depression and anger have become a disease
We medicate our selves to forget what our world used to be

I'm always disgusted with what I see
It gives me crippling anxiety
I refuse to complain, or to medicate
If I did I would be feeding exactly what I hate

Human beings used to be strong
We actually used to belong
Now we seek belonging in all of the wrong places
We cover up our guilts, frustrations, and disgraces.

All of this is wrong
Global misery, we prolong
That's I wrote this song
If you know the words, then sing along

We all should be fucking killed
Our bodies piled up in a land-fill
We are garbage that needs to be thrown away
Erase the human world and it's shades of grey
[2x]

10. Stroke My Ego

I am perfect, and you certainly are not
Look at all of the natural gifts and talents that I've got
I want you to notice me, how could you have not before?
You should worship my existence, get your knees down on the floor

You should start praying to me because I am your god
Bring me offerings you sniveling, pathetic sod
Everything I do is only glorious and great
I'm so wonderful, and gorgeous, and impossible to hate

Take a look in the mirror, and tell me what you see...
But only if you say that you are uglier than me!
All of the actions in your life should be within my favor
You must bask in my presence, and my beauty you must savor

Every single person's world should revolve around me
From now on, my face is the only face that you should see
I am the obvious ruler of all society,
I have the divine right to do whatever it is I please

I think you look rather dashing wearing a dog leash
Be grateful that you're my pet, you're serving your master at least
Roll over and play fetch, and you will make me pleased
It's only me that you should be attempting to appease

Give up all of your hopes, and all your goals, and all your dreams
Your purpose is to obey me, no matter how it seems
The only reason you were born is to be my grateful slave
Say please and thank you and remember to put that smile on your face

Please tell me what you think of me
Be sure to say it honestly
But if I feel it's insulting,
I'll make sure that you're left bleeding
Spit it out now, don't be shy
Am I the apple of your eye?
Of course I am, why wouldn't I be?
If I'm not, I'll lock you up, and I'll throw away the key!

11. The Impaler

They say that which doesn't kill you only serves to make you stronger,
I should torture you until you can't take it any longer
The people have stated that sticks and stones can break their bones,
But if words will never hurt you, I will stick with the stones

Why can't you understand that I'm trying to make you better?
I'm trying to get this improvement thing down to the letter
They say from a single flame a thousand candles can be lit,
Will you become enlightened if I push you in a firepit?

I have a valid point for all of you to sit and think on,
But if I impaled you, your potential to think would be gone
It's been famously said that you are what you eat,
If I eat flesh from your bones, does that make me human meat?

They say that we as people should learn to let go of the past,
If I beat you viciously, I bet those memories will last
They also say that we should learn to forgive and forget,
But if I amputated you, you'd hold a grudge I would bet

They say that everyone needs at least a single friend,
What if I decided to stab you in the back in the end?
Do you want to be like the Christ and turn the other cheek,
As I punch you in the head until your brains start to leak?

They say that all is forgiven in the eyes of the Lord,
I wonder if that is true if I run you through with a sword
They say that all wounds will be healed with time,
But what if I pulverized you until you were bloody human slime?

If I forced you to go through something unpleasant,
Would you think the past is in the past, and that you should live in the present?
They say there's no such thing as a dumb question,
But if I asked you if you wanted to die, would you think for a second?

I have a valid point for all of you to sit and think on,
But if I impaled you, your potential to think would be gone
It's been famously said that you are what you eat,
If I eat flesh from your bones, does that make me human meat?

12. Native Blood

There are eyes watching everywhere,
Invisibly day and night
I'm standing on corpses of native blood,
I feel their anger and sadness
I want to exact revenge for them,
Though I know I don't have the right
I see blood dripping everywhere,
And everyone seems to think it's fine

In the lands of America,
Millions of people were killed
Women, children, and warriors
Desecrated in vain
I want to decapitate everyone I see,
Because you aren't using your minds
The land is bare and so are your thoughts
You ignore the genocide

I feel that I have lost my mind,
If not, then I am going to
I feel insanity coming,
I think it's already here
I feel like an alien species,
At least that I am not human
I feel like I'm on the wrong side of the bars
In a demented, human zoo

How could you ignore what has happened to these people?
Is it that you were not educated, or that you do not care?
I feel like the only one who sees it for what it is,
Aside from the people who are the true victims of it
Shaman men now laid to waist, and searching for a purpose
Left with almost nothing in their own apocalypse
They actually appreciated the lands that they were given,
It was a divine gift to them, and all of you just waste it
This is a large reason why I claim to hate all humans
I wish I could reverse time, and spend my life attempting fix this
This is why I have written songs about a revolution
We need to figure out a righteous resolution
