XASTHUR LYRICS

1. Same Old Suspects

The more they're so different the more they're the same
Used and let down for a small piece of fame
When trash makes you feel like garbage
The same old suspects are the ones to blame
You knew these people weren't your friends
But still it never ends
Now you see
That your "free" shit wasn't free
They're the only ones coming for more
Everyone's left with the rep' of a whore
Not even a crumb
Maybe they'll throw you a bone
You'd rather eat shit than be alone
When you have a mind of your own
What have the same old suspects ever shown?

Throwing away everything you have
The same old story doesn't make me feel sad
Can't get enough of those that make you feel bad
What's the point of the pain?
The crooks and the victims are wanted the same

Is the still jail any worth it?
As much as you aborted
You gave birth to it
What is it that you seek
Recognition from the desperate weak?
Not the only one who's gonna think it got something to offer
They're gonna take it

Always cutting them some slack
But you know how this is gonna end
Why would you keep coming back
To the same old suspects you defend?

Throwing away everything you had
The same old story doesn't make me feel sad
Can't enough of those that make you feel bad

2. Dust Of What Was

[Instrumental]

3. Mirror In The Face

Taking off your clothes for who knows
Maybe it's for something going up your nose
You wouldn't erase what he left on your face
It's just another wound for you to embrace

You've been there before and you'll go there again
Something to talk about when you can't win
You can't find yourself in your cries
Anything to justify your demise
None of this was ever planned
Are you blaming the drink in your hand?
Sometimes it can make you feel cheap
You don't have to think or lose a night's sleep
Always taking away what no one wants to keep
Watching what you are and what you've become
Not my face but a mirror you're running from

We can lose or go to hell
Words without meaning for you to tell
You're not looking very far
I thought you wanted to escape who you are
Sometimes it can make you feel cheap
You don't have to think or lose a night's sleep
Always taking away what no one wants to keep
You thought it was my face but it was a mirror you're running from

We can lose or go to hell
Words without meaning for you to tell
You're not looking very far
I thought you wanted to escape who you are

4. Unsolvable Puzzles

[Instrumental]

5. Fairy Tale Ideologies

There's only one war you're allowed to fight
So be careful what you write

One religion against another
I thought you were on neither side
Your weapons are just stage props
If you ever try
Your message and war is a safe space
We know who's wearing your face
The enemy you thought you fought is in total control
They'll shut you down if you don't play their role
They hold all the money you said was never there
It's not esoteric when their media is aware

It's no loss to lose your freedom of speech
Never had a vision or anything to teach
Allowing any message to be avoided
In return for being exploited

We're left with fairy tales that aren't real
Refrain from what you see, think, and feel

The wars and rituals were just cartoons
Put out of business platoons
So don't express too much in your tunes

Does what they say have anything to do with how we live and die
All I see is fear
Things you're afraid to try

Reality is an ideology they're forced to deny

Though movement and no views that are spoken
Singing fairy tales of J.R.R. Tolkien

No loss to lose your freedom of speech
Never had a vision or anything to teach
Allowing any message to be avoided
In return for being exploited

6. Medieval Acid Folk

[Instrumental]

7. Stars Amongst Failures

8. Reality Is The Unknown

9. Estranged

How will I know, your words are true?
You still compare what we're going through
We could learn to see, but boy, I mean the mirror in you
I have to live in the kind shame you hide.
I'm dressed of a reflection of what you've denied
Happy to do things, you never try. I keep telling them, how much you've lied

Try living in the part of town, they call the poor side

A step away from homeless-ness, a home made of death, and piss.
Gotta get away from this
It's not vintage, you're paying to squat
With any luck, you might get shot
I'm estranged, my life is shit, you're telling me, to deal with it
Your mask is torn, to escape of being reborn

Get it done, the voices warn. Thought I died, you could've sworn
So I listen, voices without restriction.
Your pain is based on, fiction you withheld, everything that you knew
Went through with every conclusion I drew

Isn't it bizarre, accuse me of everything you are

Someone needs to make you pay your dues, it's looking like, I have nothing to lose
Can make choices under the die or live, hearing voices that will never forgive

I have no reason to press rewind, I was never one of the kind

10. Postponing My Funeral

11. Static of Uncreativity

12. A Future to Fear

13. Ghost of an Excuse

14. Mirrormindfuck

15. Benefits of Dying

16. Digital Beast

17. Home is Nowhere

18. Victims of the Times

Here is where rich is poor
You wouldn't ask for anything more
Victim of a system that cheats
You think you're too good to be living on the streets?
Can't find your way out of a divided community
Where's the unity?

You're done with living, moving on to survival
In your own world, everyone's a rival
Never knowing what to say
Never letting your consciousness get in the way
Not living for tomorrow
Only yesterday
Paying all your fines, rehearsing all the lines
Out of businesses signs
Never crosses their minds
How high do you have to be
To lie to yourself and to me?
You thought it was real but you didn't look
Was it those pills you never took?

Overpaying your dues
Ignoring all clues
You can't afford all those lies
You keep telling me you're great
For someone so happy you're sure filled with hate

19. Allegiance to the Meaningless

20. Justify Your End

21. In Search of Sanity

22. Voluntary Prisoners
