Head Full of Hornets

If this world is going to hate me then I’ll hate it in return/ There can be no love lost when love is never learned/ Environment, biology or morality deformed/ The reasons only matter as a way to mask the swarm
Politics, religion, Middle East to the Midwest/ You pin it on each other with a nail through your chest/ My enemy is everyone my villain is your laws/ Sometimes crazy’s only crazy and it always finds a cause
A buzz bomb waiting to explode/ Name me an injustice I assure you I have borne it/ Out of nowhere my madness will unload/ Walking around with a head full of hornets
Try to piece it all together from a slowly burning trail/ I won’t answer any questions, choose a bullet over jail/ Never offer any explanations once the final step’s fulfilled/ You’ll make me far more famous than the innocents I’ve killed

Horrorshow

Life has become a cheap joke/ A tool for a homeboy to improve his rep/ Knife plus a couple grams of coke/ A simple equation for the average man’s death/ Choke on the unmanning fear/ That makes it so hard to leave your house each day/ Smoked for a case of beer/ Everyone’s learning the American way
We all pay the price/ Our money and our lives/ Our pride and our dignity left by the wayside/ We all pay the price/ Our money and our lives/ Exercise the right to take a life
Why? Where’s our failing?/ So many fail to see the value of their fellow man/ Die, they’re already nailing/ The lid of your coffin ‘cause you tried to take a stand/ Bail, get away from the sharks/ The circle’s getting smaller and it’s soon too late for flight/ Flail at the shapes in the dark/ You know you can’t escape the terrors of the night
Shopkeeper turns at the sound of his door/ Three kids having fun and he’s bleeding on the floor/ Cabdriver turns for the money he’s owed/ Gets a blade in the throat, left to die in the road/ A girl gets off the bus on the way home from class/ She’s viciously raped and left to weep on the grass/ Used to think we’re different, but now I know/ We’re all just fresh bodies for the horrorshow

I’ll never be the common man/ I steel myself and take a stand/ Lunacy? / Well, it may be/ But my destiny is in my hands
I’ll make my way/ Through thieves and pimps/ I choose my way/ To chase the imp
Some say my decision’s bold/ And others say I’ve sold my soul/ Dance with the devil/ Take my shot/ Won’t stop kicking ‘til I reach my goal
Living on the edge/ I’ve learned to risk it all/ If I can’t make it to the top/ I’ll learn to enjoy the fall
Some say it can never be/ But I’ve learned the one way to be free/ I’ll give my life/ To save my life/ There’s only one way out for me
I put it on a sucker bet/ Ignominy? Well, no regrets/ I bleed the set/ With pain and sweat/ “Sorry son, you’re not there yet”

The things you do for poison make me sick/ You don't really want to live/ Black Wish/ The embodiment of a self-serving nihilist/ We all suffer for your weakness/ Black Wish/ Your only loyalty is to your fix/ Sell your family for a hit/ Black Wish/ Self-destruction is your only gift/ The human race will benefit/ Black Wish
Be careful what you wish for/ Or you'll escape to a place much worse than where you were/ You may not need the things you crave/ And it's hard to make amends from the wrong side of the grave
What's that taste of shit upon your lips?/ Another dealer's ass to kiss/ Black Wish/ Want to be a threat? Not yet, you're a joke, that's it/ A laughingstock from where I sit/ Black Wish/ No need for enemies with friends like this/ Masochist relationship/ Black Wish/ Seems like I spend my whole life trying to get you to kick/ Fuck it! You're not even worth it/ Black Wish
They asked me how I felt when I found out my best friend had died/ I had to shake my head, I barely even knew the guy

Nothing but a puppet on an endless string/ Following the bells, the maddening ring/ You’ve got no freedom, you’ve got no voice/ Everything you do is someone else’s choice/ Your future is a mystery, your past is a shame/ Your present is a classroom, every day is the same/ They say they’ll try and teach you what life is all about/ But all you want to know is how to get the fuck out
You could try and make it better, but what’s the point?/ Nothing really matters when you’re trapped in the void
Now you’ve got a job, you’re a working man/ Clock is still crawling, but now there’s cash in your hand/ You find that from nine to five you’re still a slave/ Your fingers counting out the days until you get paid/ You buy a used car, you live like a king/ You’ve got everything you want, you ain’t doing anything/ Your old man comes like a rage through the house/ “Pack up all your shit and get the hell out!”
You could try and change his mind, but what’s the point? No-one wants to listen when you’re trapped in the void
Nothing left to try when your dreams begin to die/ Grass is always greener on the other side/ Face the bitter truth that the failure lies with you/ Lost years and broken hopes all that you amounted to
Now you’re on the streets, no place to stay/ You lost your job in the struggle for survival every day/ Got nothing to eat and all your friends have closed their doors/ Because times are tough and they can’t feed you anymore/ You run into a guy who offers you work/ Now your gun’s pointed at a liquor store clerk/ Spin and fire, flash of blue, now you’re on the run/ Cut the puppet’s string, ‘cause the show is now done You can try and blame the system, there’s really no point/ No-one gives a fuck when you’re sucked into the void

How can you stand to hide the truth while we search for a better day/ Your righteous denial of a problem’s existence won’t make it go away/ Human misery, opportunity for power and power will crush opposing views/ Freedom means freedom for your words only as your gospel
encircles me like a noose
Welcome to the resurrection/ For your own good, one direction/ Welcome to the resurrection/ Conspiracy of false perfection
If the thought police had won the fight two thousand years ago/ There’d be no bibles left for you to shove right down my throat/ Bitch
How can you expect me to entertain with a gun held to my head?/ Hopes to enlighten, destroyed when you’re
frightened by punishment for what you’ve said/ Education? No! Indoctrination when the flow of information meets c
lassification/ How will you continue to ridicule me in a world of silence where no-one speaks freely?
The process of communication not a privilege, but a right/ You’ll muzzle any words of honesty until we’re buried alive/ Under a mountain of lies
You're the ones who keep us down, keep us out/ We don't want to hear it, you don't count, shut your mouth/ You can't make it better, had your chance, out of time/ Derisive and divisive, diversity now a crime
