[Verse 1 - Laid-back Reggae] I watch the jaw move without purpose Words like dry husks hitting the floor Seven times you claim a truth you never lived I sip water and look at the clouds Internal tally marks on a mental wall You think I am listening to the rhythm I am actually counting your blinks (Watching the clock) (Counting the cost) The spirit is heavy with your vanity One drop bass hides the storm in my marrow Peace is a mask I wear for the public While the root of my anger grows thorns [Chorus - Unhinged Heavy Metal] ENOUGH OF THE WASTE SILENCE THE TONGUE I AM VOMITING YOUR LIES TEAR IT DOWN SMASH THE IMAGE THE VESSEL IS CRACKED (BURN IT ALL) GET OUT OF THE LIGHT I AM DONE WITH THE GAME [Verse 2 - Laid-back Reggae] You talk about the struggle from a soft seat Wearing the culture like a cheap coat I see the debt in your eyes The mental slavery is a loud perfume I nod my head to the off-beat skank But my teeth are grinding into powder The city is a mouth that eats its own And you are just a snack for the machine (Just a ghost) (Just a fake) I stay seated while the fire climbs my throat One more empty word and the dam breaks [Bridge - Chaotic Reggae-Metal Fusion] ROOTS IN THE IRON BLOOD ON THE LEAF (OH NO) CANNOT BREATHE IN THE PERFORMANCE EVERY HABIT IS A BLADE EVERY STUPID STATEMENT IS A MATCH I AM SMILING BUT THE BONE IS SHOWING (I AM DONE) DONE WITH THE ROT DONE WITH THE ACT [Chorus - Unhinged Heavy Metal] SCRAP THE SCRIPT NO MORE GRACE THE ANGER IS A KING BOW TO THE TRUTH OR SUFFOCATE IN THE NOISE (RAGE) I AM FINISHED WITH THE KINDNESS BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS THE LIE [Outro - Smoldering Reggae Fade] The smoke clears and I am still sitting Legs crossed Eyes barely open (Still here) (Quiet now) Just a man in a chair Waiting for the silence to stay The tally is finished The book is closed Walk away before the mountain moves (Quiet) (Dead quiet)
