Total control of a nation
Drilled through the skull of population
Misrepresentation has become the constant
And we've allowed ourselves to lose all sight
Lost it all
Divided we'll fall
The same spark that created the flame
Doused in corruption
It's a shame
Blind sheep led by transparency
Trust these faces you'll never see
Count me out
Land of the free
Claimed by greed
So rest your eyes to see the lies
This place has become its own demise
Allowing split tongues spitting filth over unheard cries
Drowned out
Claimed by greed
Drowned out
Robbed blind
Forcefed minds
Blank faces
Ascendancy
Don't tread on me

Placed Blame

I'll find my own way
From the start I knew nothing would stay
Nothing has changed, but I'm to blame
I am the product of all your mistakes
Clinch through your teeth
It's always been me
But why is that
Why am I to blame
Trapped inside
Trapped inside of this game
So sit back and watch it all fall apart
Knew nothing would stay from the start
I'll stand by, singing to the tune of my reprise
Out of touch
Won't remain
A victim of circumstance is all I would be
Another hopeless soul
I refuse, you won't win
I'm still treading water
I will persist
Odds against me
You shot and you missed
Cast out, a ship with no sail
Born into this hell
Now you'll feel the pain that I felt when I was all alone
You reap what you sow
Karma caught up
Lead by example
You reap what you sow
Abandoned
Cut ties

Misinterpret

I'm consuming myself from the inside out
I've swallowed myself alive
Hoping and praying they'll die
I try to carry my weight
and yet they pull me down
Hate-fed motives
Cold grip pulling me into the ground
I'm tired of pulling away
They haunt me every day
I'm so tired of fighting myself
I remain sunk, swallowed by hatred
Hoping and praying that one day they'll stay dead
Already lost my sight
I'm losing reality
Lost my state of mind
This has become normality
Misinterpret
I question it all
Miscommunication
Will be the reason I fall
I beg these thoughts to fade away
Constantly fighting the pain
I am my own
I am my own worst enemy
Engulfed in their hatred
Dead hands gripping me tightly
I fall victim to darkness
Rid me of my demons
Eradicate me
My mind, my soul, my everything
Just take it all
I feel them crawling throughout me
Maybe I should have listened
I just want out
Let me out of my mind
Maybe I should have listened to the voices in my head

Drywall

Repetition, the endless cycle
Born by violence
Follow in the footsteps
Walk until your feet bleed
I'm worn out from walking this path
Steady decline, going nowhere fast
In search of a purpose
I give way to rage
Another hole in the wall
Shedding skin, I'll just pretend
I grit my teeth
Worn out
Run down
It runs red, the hate through my veins
Lost my way, convinced I can't change
I am the scoundrel, misled by the hand that fed
Forged into a recluse
Another broken bone
Lost my way
I can't change
Cemented in fury
I can't change
Bagged eyes
Restless mind
Confined in anger
Knuckles burn
I am the host
Harborer of hatred
I'm shedding skin
Lost my way

Isolation
03:49

Alone inside myself
Desolate betrayed by health
I search my mind for what kept me alive
Tearing at the seams of my inner being
I scrape at the surface
Itching to find true peace of mind
Searching for some sort of soundness
Longing for a form of foundation
Only to discover frustration
Consistent restlessness
This is being the ghost
I built these walls
Trapped myself inside
No pride to swallow
I've accepted what I've become
Forsook myself alone and numb
Muddled thoughts of consciousness as life escapes me
I run from reality
My mind wanders
In a state of seclusion
Agitation
I dig through my mind
No recollection
Misery
I just suffer by my own hand
Victim of consequence
My mind wanders
State of seclusion
A life with no conclusion
Never reaching contentment
Home to resentment
Trapped myself inside
Inside of my mind

Omega

Bear in mind
Lost
Heed the warnings
Absent instinct
Watered down with arrogance
Weakened world
We'll destroy ourselves
Spit on by the wealth
Humanity will claim itself
Careless
No regard
Lost intuition
And I'm so scared of what we've become
Hate-driven, selfish, mindless scum
We'll create the end
Albatross
Feeble minds
Careless, we'll create the end
So pry your eyes
Endless reporcution
Bear in mind, this is only temporary
Enstilled with uncertainty
I can't be the only one searching for answers
I question my worth, my own skin
I can't be the only one searching for answers
And I'm so scared of what we've become
Humanity's grown numb
So bear in mind, this is only temporary
Feeble minds, we'll create the end

THE beatdown record. modern genres wish they could hit this hard Tyler has, by far, the most unique vocal style ever on this record, to the point that I have never heard it replicated The record also has writing elements that I've only heard replicated in deathcore in the last 2 years like subtly slowing down into the breakdown Heavy story for an a album as well, given that a couple tracks are purely audio samples of riots and public service announcements that really get you into that headspace.
