Profit-matic plans with no more labor demands
when will technology kill us all
What do you call
Your progress everyday what does it matter anyway
When you use that progress to profit your own
What does it matter to the world
No empathy
Can’t you see
True meaning in morality
What does it matter to the world
To the world
What does it matter to the world
Profit profit to your name
Why can’t you get it through your brain
Profit from harm
Why can’t you fucking tell
Not a penny that you make
Will go with you to hell
Try to raise the bar with your self driving cars
the cure to all of your debts
What do you call
Your business, a game of chess, your innovations made to regress
When your innovations are made to rid us of jobs
What does it matter to the world
No empathy
Can’t you see
True meaning in morality
What does it matter to the world
To the world
What does it matter to the world
All your lies
Hide your guilt
With technology
that you built
You say its a spark
Well i see the fuse
A technology armageddon
When there's no more workers to use
Anymore!
Ignorant delusions
You don’t care
Why bother
It doesn't matter anyway
When you know that you'll die
Before it takes part
In a generation you thought you raised
From the seeds that you planted
In your silicon dirt
Workers paved the way
Workers are the ones you hurt
Your progress is a myth
In the words you live by
Progress means death
Grow or die

Trust

Nothing has changed with the circles in my head
As I get stabbed in the back
By things I wish you never said
So why should I trust
And bring myself there
If every peak has a downfall
And to trust I need to care
But caring means shit
What the fuck do I gain
When every time I give a shit
It only ends in pain
I’ll cry out for help
And try to scream in fear
But my screams are filled with silence
And nobody can hear
Now I gotta leave this place
Cause there no fucking space
For me
I can't take it anymore
I don’t know what the fuck I’m supposed to do
Nothing has changed
As failures what I fear
The fear of what will happen
When my visions become unclear
But why should I fear
If there's nothing I can do
While I sit back and watch
All the shit i've been through
And it keeps on happening
So when will it stop
With the constant fear
Of all these fucking useless thoughts
I don't know if it was me
Or the shit you've done
But now I know
Never fucking trust anyone
Now I gotta leave this place
Cause there no fucking space
For me
I can't take it anymore
I don’t know what the fuck I’m supposed to do
I can’t take it anymore
Life for me is such a bore
And I can’t fucking take it anymore

The self image
you deceive
Play like jocks
In a football league
Forget the mindset
Hide what you see
Targeting the weak
shows your insecurities
What happened to the morals
And the values that you hold
Hardcore turned to metal
So more records could be sold
Its now just an image
Of what they wanna be
Ways of hate you cant escape
Toxic masculinity
Remember all the
words you’d shout
Money got to your head
now you sold out
You want a bigger audience
Want to be seen in the lights
There's no emotion in your music
You just wanna start fights
2 step 2 step
To hide your face
Its metal not punk
You’re a fucking disgrace
You say there's unity and community
Between the lines that you see
It's a unity of hate
Unity to kill our scene
Forget the mindset
Your macho ways
something to prove
nothing to say
Something to hate
Someone to fight
Want to act tough
Never unite
Forget the mindset
Forget your words
You’re just a sheep
In a heard
It's just a fab
In a new day
A day of hate
A way to prove
Your macho ways

Silence
Words need to be defined
Feelings have no meaning
So im begging for a sign
Anticipation of isolation
An emptiness array
Forever means nothing
An allusion blocks the way
Feeling discontent
Feel like nothings real
Can't escape your old mistake
Now nothings what you feel
Deprivation kills reality
Reality’s an endless fall
How can it really be endless
If now i'm staring at the walls
Take a look around
The blindness that you see
To stab your soul you can't control
All the morals you believe
Grasp a sense of reality
Hold on to what you trust
Your instincts are the enemy
When were forced to self destruct
Forever means nothing
In my sense of reality
Regret is only a word
When commitment has made me bleed
The walls are closing in
Yet there's nothing left inside
Silence
Words need to be defined
Emptiness
There's nothing left around
A darkness fills the area
Maybe it can hide my frown
When there's nothing left
Nothing to fight for
The only thing that keeps me clean
From rotting to the core
I wanna dream I wanna dream
I wanna dream so bad
What's the point of dreaming
It will only make me sad
With reality
It can never match my dreams
The empty space I almost taste
That echoes all my screams
Well take a look around
The blindness that you see
To stab your soul you can't control
All the morals you believe
When there's nothing left
And everything will leave
The silence, the silence
Will keep my soul serene
Forever means nothing
In my sense of reality
Regret is only a word
When commitment has made me bleed
The walls are closing in
Yet there's nothing left inside
Silence
Words need to be defined
