Rejoice (ft. Intrinsic)

The coming winter's said to be the coldest / and legend has it six planets align this night on the solstice /
now it's natural phenomena of biblical proportion / that lesser men would kill for the power to go to war with /
that's why when I step up to the pulpit / I'm backed by the choir that sings hellfire down on the cultists /
to lead an exodus on a scale never before seen / to wipe slates clean and slice marionette strings /
Cause man plans, God laughs, so man falls back, the backup plan: outhoard the rest of the pack /
with jewel-encrusted golden goblets in the vault, lethal injection in the veins / larceny and oxycontin on the brain /
medicine for the debit card and franklins for the pain / supersize that orange bottle cause that's how he make it rain /
no name, no gold chain / no change in his food chain place /
for every paygrade raise / or lane change, but he's honored to be rhetorical fodder when the statement's made, dropping his namesake /
the mainstage feautures the middlemen but the horse's mouth is bridled / so auction off your worship and watch them fight for the title /
until every anecdote or buzzfeed article's a bible / who needs God or carnal sins when every object's an idol /
we'll never know if the forbidden apple was laced / but ain't no aphrodisiac like the impending end of the human race
We kill the cancer, inciting the noise
Of our fellow peers, the first to see
How we can rejoice
Wanna see a real glitch in the matrix? / Watch a monument erected in the name of blood and entertainment /
every seat in the stadium was taken, every pew in every church / grab the popcorn, we want the bad news first /
You had me at death / so wire me a travesty with all the pathos of the latest 100,000 tragedies /
present it as a spectator sport for my scatter-brained imaginings / and kill me with the maddening suspense /
I said let's get it fucking happening / no rest as long as there's still something left to refer to in present tense /
just place your cash bets on this crash test / dummy and see if he reaches martyrdom before they bash heads /
and as he takes his last breath / all I can think is who I can vote for to ensure it happens again /
Cause there's a sickly violent zen, a contentment in a sense / to see your every senseless act sensibly justified by talking heads /
as if the current state of affairs was definitive / when every day the word terrorist got a new synonym /
but only in instances of alien invaders / save us Mr. Doctor Professor Colonel Lieutenant Major /
Cause our freedom's why they hate us, so do us all a favor / free them and leave a brand new enslavement reinstated /
we'll never know if Sodom and Gomorrah deserved it / but what we can do is follow suit and burn it
We kill the cancer, inciting the noise
Of our fellow peers, the first to see
How we can rejoice

She's keeping me grounded
Still, I try
To keep my eyes ahead
Don't look back
I want to drown it out
But he's right behind me
In my room, alone again
Still, I try
To recall what she taught me
Take control
I want to drown it out
But I feel him there beside me
Aah...
Only when alone,
I lose it
Why, when alone,
Do I lose it?
Aah...

The Walls are White

Left alone in my youngest days
An old man meant to keep me safe
But one day he woke me up instead
And so I asked him, what do you want from me?
But no response, sir, what do you want from me?
Oh he was ruthless, what do you want from me, do you want from me, do you want?
The walls are white, I've been stuck inside
All my life
They've got the devil's eyes, and I don't know why
But it rhymes
Left alone at my dumbest age
A girl who'd never learned restraint
Next thing I knew, she'd caught me in her head
And so I asked her, what do you want from me?
But no boundaries, bitch, what do you want from me?
Oh she was reckless, what do you want from me, do you want from me, do you want?
The walls are white, I've been stuck inside
All my life
There's no place left to hide, they've both got devil's eyes
'Cause it rhymes
Ooh...
The years are passing me by, the fear is kicking in
I've never been like the rest, who all just wanted skin
See, I'm afraid of the bed, twice was I forced in it
And when you see me again, walls will be caving in
One day I recall the eyes, after a decade
A battered mind in the making just to wear away
Too sensitive to make sense of simple child's play
World shaken at three-years-old, tell me what's left to gain
But there's sight of the beloved, it has yet to fade
And I'm not letting it go, it's here I want to stay
I've never known warmth like this, feels like I might erupt
But if it's here I'll remain, then I won't give it up

Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ignorance abound here
Call us misguided
Say it's for my own good
The give me a warning
Nature's a heresy
Life choices just ain't healthy
Say it's for my own good
Then give me a warning
Today's our rebirth, so find your worth (x3)
This is our rebirth, so find your worth
Empathy, apathy
It's the same shit to me
I'm trying to do what's right here
'Cause I think you need saving
Ignorance abound here
Call us misguided
Say it's for my own good
Then give me a warning
Today's our rebirth, so find your worth (x3)
This is our rebirth, so find your worth
I can't be quiet
When I'm not speaking
I can't be silent
If I'm not speaking

Thought I'd fade
Stood on the edge
But there's a light
She's mine, she guides me
Now I stand
And when I fall, I can walk again
Remember this,
You've not yet lost your innocence
Came to life
And I can see
There's hope again
She's lead me here
Now I stand
And when I fall, I can walk again
Remember this,
You've not yet lost your innocence

Wither/Explode

Played fine, learned to rise
Don't mind me, just thrive
I'm not sure whether to
Wither or explode
Revived with newfound spine
To ascend and strive
I'm not sure whether to
Wither or explode
