Clustered
01:35
|

I slowly grind my teeth as I try to sleep
clustered with frustration
paying the price for this bed I made
everyone has a burden
don't bother to compare or relate
I lied to myself when I said I buried my past
these nights left me damaged, exiled & estranged

Ash & Grey

turned my back from the truth
drowning my emotions to feel numb inside
it's hard to admit that everything you vouched for
was a fucking lie
as I look in the mirror I can see myself dying
pages of my life burning & fading away
a meaningless story of constant fucking failures
I smash what's staring back at me
superstitious but I'm too broken to even care
demons stalk me in my suspended state of paralysis
I cant tell anymore if I'm awake or dreaming
if these walls could talk they would be the closest thing
to what I felt those nights, shut out from existence
the pressure of the noose tightens, I'm suffocating
fading in silence
me pierdo en las temptaciones de mis vicios
everything worth of any significance
is left ash & grey
you'll never test your worst tendencies
until everything you know is in pieces
everything you knew is left in ash tray of residue

The Division

this is our self destruction
dirty deeds influenced from across the street
for a taste of power & a dream of luxury
there's no room for error
when you're playing with fire
you're life won't be one to spare
you won't walk away unscathed
with any mistakes that you have made
you'll easily cease to exist with no trace of the last days
you were seen breathing
manipulation
The river is running red
their administration neglects the spreading pestilence
irrelevant whether currency's legitimate
media sources blacklisted
stories are shared by word of mouth
fear is apparent through the pedestrians eyes
as they explain the terror
this isn't to glorify but acknowledge
the waves of violence
that drown them with despair
the river is running red

Streets of Pharr 1971

divided by railroad tracks
but easy to speculate on what side you lived
they'd grab you by the wrist, slam your head against the car
& call you a fucking spic
the frustration grew over the injustice they've felt constantly
congregated, they protested against the corrupted police state
threatened by demanding screams of change
authority used excessive force without reasoning
tear gas was exposed across the streets
they felt the risk was worth
any arrest or consequence
so the community responded with bricks
& glass from bottles were shattered across the pavemant
Today, Tonight will be different they said
the spirit of there beliefs refused to break
but at the heat of the conflict
an innocent bystander was shot in the head
ambulances were notified but they hung up
refused to help as he died on that sidewalk
the report said the gun shot was unintentional
but everyone knows the truth
the cop aimed before
he pulled that fucking trigger
the reason of the demonstration
came with some hope an expectation
the residents wanted them to improve their
inferior living conditions that lacked decent necessities
& reflected a life of poverty
the cold shoulder was apparent treated as second class citizens
based solely off the color of their skin
this riot derived from the neglect of this crooked city
you can't burn or erase a chapter from this place
so I'm screaming to keep the fury from that night alive
for the people from my neighborhood &
to the families of those who felt defeated

No Love
02:43
|
|||
when we started, frustrated with unchecked aggression
bottled, reaching our own breaking point
we felt unrestrained, nothing could take this feeling away
but life played out an unpalatable fate
we said our painful goodbyes & poured one out for our friend
life changes, personal decisions
questioned ourselves is this even fucking worth it
we kept it together through the hard times & at our worst
our friends the Laredo & Valley Crew is what got us through
new faces soon became some of the best of friends
that I'll never forget
no love for South Texas
