Rust Belt Revolution
02:43

Our lives are under attack
From those sworn to protect
We won't settle for scraps
We will fight back!
We have nothing to lose
Your slavery is refused
We're done with your abuse
Light the fuse!
This is our revolution
We'll seize the means of production
Across these burnt out states
We unite, destroy these chains
Our antidote to suffering
Will be our physical pain
It's too late for your absolution
This is the rust belt revolution
From each by ability
To each by his needs
As history repeats
As tragedy!
This is our revolution
We'll seize the means of production
Across these burnt out states
We unite, destroy these chains
Our antidote to suffering
Will be our physical pain
It's too late for your absolution
This is the rust belt revolution
No this fight will not be
Minds working peacefully
We will build the pyre
They'll bathe in fire!
Destroy every throne
They'll reap what they've sown
Wage war coast to coast
Til the one percent hang from lamp posts

Belongs to the Dead

Every day I try to be something I'm not
Every night I fall asleep with the lights on
Maybe today I'll feel better than before
But I'm not holding my breath
You make my weak at the knees
You make me strong when I am empty
I remember every single word you said to me
But I can hardly repeat them back
I woke up in a body bag
I closed my eyes, hit snooze a hundred more times
Then I felt the rush, I felt warm
I think I even felt happy
You make my weak at the knees
You make me strong when I am empty
I remember every single word you said to me
But I can hardly repeat them back
In a red room, full of strangers
I try to spot you, try to talk to you
In a red room, fill of strangers
I try to smile at you from afar

Do It For Her

Nothing worth having comes easy
But I sure could use a break
I'm worn out on cold and tired folks
In this dirty rust belt state
But I do it every day
I wake before the dawn
I lace up these old worn out work boots
And I put my game face on
Don't forget you're here forever
Do it for her!
So you can push and you can shove (do it for her)
But you won't make me give up (do it for her)
The world against me's not enough (do it for her)
I do it for her
So I'm done burning bridges
Lord knows I've torched my share
But I have enough smoke in my lungs
It's too much effort to care
No I'm done living in the past
I've got the future next to me
As her quiet breathing take the pain away
I'm right where I need to be
Don't forget you're here forever
Do it for her!
So you can push and you can shove (do it for her)
But you won't make me give up (do it for her)
The world against me's not enough (do it for her)
I do it for her
I know that I'm here forever
But forever's not so bad
Cause it's going to take forever
To give you all the love I have
So I know odds are against me
But I'm damn sure gonna try
Cause I know I'll never be perfect
But maybe I can be in your eyes
Do it for her!
So you can push and you can shove (do it for her)
But you won't make me give up (do it for her)
The world against me's not enough (do it for her)
I do it for her

Been struggling with feeling like myself again
Been playing some card game that I know I can’t win
Don’t know how long a boy is meant to live this way
But I sure as shit won’t have it another way
These manifestations are shaped a lot like men in suits
They smell like doctors and uncaring eyes
This tastes like another lonely September night
And it feels like another sappy song
I’ve been facing all these demons in 1-player mode
But I can no longer face them
Face them on my own
Another 3am booze-soaked smoke-filled night
Cobble together these plans, fuck us if we see morning
I just want to feel like I’ve lived
But I know you do too
This sidewalk has been paved with self-righteous feelings
Selfish thoughts that I wish I didn’t feel
I could explode any day now
But I think I'd like to try
I’ve been facing all these demons in 1-player mode
But I can no longer face them
Face them on my own

I've wrote 37 songs
About how you've done me wrong
And only one about the ways you've loved me
An endless list of lame cliches
About your evil little ways
And all the twists of knives you buried in me
But I'm done getting wasted over you
Wasting paper, ink and my blood too
You've already wasted enough time
But the life you waste won't be mine
I'm writing a comeback story
Maybe the best ever done
I'll climb this mountain, slay the beast
And this is only chapter one
Our story'sover, start the next
Life has no ever after
My story's gonna blow your fucking mind
And this is just the first chapter
I've died a thousand deaths
And not a single one less
But all of them were only in my head
Each time I survive the sword
I pick myself up of the floor
And turn the page instead
I'm writing a comeback story
Maybe the best ever done
I'll climb this mountain, slay the beast
And this is only chapter one
Our story's over, start the next
Life has no ever after
My story's gonna blow your fucking mind
And this is just the first chapter
No more will I raise my hands to fight
No matter what storm may rise
These hands have found the words to write
I will do more than survive
I'm writing a comeback story
Maybe the best ever done
I'll climb this mountain, slay the beast
And this is only chapter one
Our story's over, start the next
Life has no ever after
My story's gonna blow your fucking mind
And this is just the first chapter
