Wretches and Kings

"There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part. You can't even passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop." -Mario Savio

To save face / how low can you go

Talk a lot of game but yet you don't know

Static on the way / make us all say whoa

The people up top push the people down low

Get down

And obey every word

Steady getting mine if you haven't yet heard

Wanna take what I got

Don't be absurd

Don't fight the power

Nobody gets hurt

If you haven't heard yet then I'm letting you know

There ain't shit we don't run when the guns unload

And no one make a move unless my people say so

Got everything outta control

Now everybody go

Steel unload / final blow

We the animals / take control

Hear us now / clear and true

Wretches and kings we come for you

So keep pace / how slow can you go

Talk a lot of shit and yet you don't know

Fire on the way / make you all say whoa

The people up top and the people down low

Get down

And I'm running it like that

The front of the attack is exactly where I'm at

Somewhere in between

The kick and the hi hat

The pen and the contract

The pitch and the contact

So get with the combat / I'm lettin 'em know

There ain't shit you can say to make me back down no

So / push the button let the whole thing blow

Spinning everything outta control

Now everybody go

Steel unload / final blow

We the animals / take control

Hear us now / clear and true

Wretches and kings we come for you

Steel unload / fire blow

Filthy animals / beat them low

Skin and bone / black and blue

No more this sun shall beat onto you

From the front to the back and the side to side

If you fear what I feel put 'em up real high

Front to the back and the side to side

If you fear what I feel put 'em up real high

Front to the back and the side to side

If you fear what I feel put 'em up real high

Front to the back and the side to side

If you fear what I feel put 'em up real high

Front to the back and the side to side

If you fear what I feel put 'em up real high

The Catalyst

God bless us everyone
We're a broken people
Living under loaded gun

And it can't be outfought
It can't be outdone
It can't be outmatched
It can't be outrun, no

God bless us everyone
We're a broken people
Living under loaded gun

And it can't be outfought
It can't be outdone
It can't be outmatched
It can't be outrun, no

And when I close my eyes tonight
To symphonies of blinding lights

God bless us everyone
We're a broken people
Living under loaded gun, oh

Like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky

God save us everyone
When we burn inside the fires
Of a thousand suns

For the sins of our hand
The sins of our tongue
The sins of our fathers
The sins of our young, no

God save us everyone
When we burn inside the fires
Of a thousand suns

For the sins of our hand
The sins of our tongue
The sins of our fathers
The sins of our young, no

And when I close my eyes tonight
To symphonies of blinding lights

God save us everyone
When we burn inside the fires
Of a thousand suns, oh

Like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky

-

Like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky

Lift me up, let me go (10x)

God bless us everyone
We're a broken people
Living under loaded gun

And it can't be outfought
It can't be outdone
It can't be outmatched
It can't be outrun

God bless us everyone
We're a broken people
Living under loaded gun

And it can't be outfought
It can't be outdone
It can't be outmatched
It can't be outrun

In The End

It starts with one...
One thing,
I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you'd try
Keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know...
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down 'till the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal...
You didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on, to didn't even know
I wasted it all just to
Watch you go...
I kept everything inside
And even though I tried,
It all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually
Be a memory of a time when

I've tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end,
It doesn't even matter.
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end,
It doesn't even matter.

One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you'd try
Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how
I've tried so hard...
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised, it
Got so far...
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you wouldn't knew me, back then
But it all comes back to me
In the end...
You kept everything inside
And even though I tried,
It all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually
Be a memory
Of a time when

I've tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end,
It doesn't even matter.
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end,
It doesn't even matter.

I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should've know

I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should've know

I've tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end,
It doesn't even matter.
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end,
It doesn't even matter.

Numb

I'm tired of being what you want me to be.
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface.
I don't know what you're expecting of me.
Put it under the pressure
Of walking in your shoes.
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

[Chorus]
I've...become so numb,
I can't feel you there.
I've become so tired,
So much more aware.
I've becoming this,
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you.

Can't you see that you're smothering me?
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control.
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you.
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take!

[Chorus]
I've...become so numb,
I can't feel you there.
I've become so tired,
So much more aware.
I've becoming this,
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you.

And I know:
I may end up failing, too.
But I know:
You were just like me, with someone disappointed in you.

[Chorus]
I've...become so numb,
I can't feel you there.
I've become so tired,
So much more aware.
I've becoming this,
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you.

I've...become so numb,
I can't feel you there.
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)
I've...become so numb,
I can't feel you there.
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)

New Divide

I remembered black skies

The lightning all around me

I remembered each flash as time began to blur

Like a startling sign that fate had finally found me

And your voice was all I heard

That I get what I deserve

So give me reason to prove me wrong

To wash this memory clean

Let the flood cross the distance in your eyes

Give me reason to fill this hole connect the space between

Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies

Across this new divide

There was nothing in sight but memories left abandoned

There was nowhere to hide the ashes fell like snow

And the ground caved in between where we were standing

And your voice was all I heard

That I get what I deserve

So give me reason to prove me wrong

To wash this memory clean

Let the flood cross the distance in your eyes

Across this new divide

In every loss

In every lie

In every truth that you'd deny

And each regret and each goodbye

Was a mistake too great to hide

And your voice was all I heard

That I get what I deserve

So give me reason to prove me wrong

To wash this memory clean

Let the flood cross the distance in your eyes

Give me reason to fill this hole connect the space between

Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies

Across this new divide

Across this new divide

Across this new divide

Crawling

Crawling in my skin

These wounds they will not heal

Fear is how I fall

Confusing what is real

There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface,

Consuming / Confusing

This lack of self control I fear is never ending,

Controlling / I can't seem

To find myself again

My walls are closing in

[Mike](Without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced

That there's just too much pressure to take)

I’ve felt this way before

So insecure

Crawling in my skin

These wounds they will not heal

Fear is how I fall

Confusing what is real

Discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me

Distracting/Reacting

Against my will I stand beside my own reflection

It's haunting how I can't seem..

To find myself again

My walls are closing in

[Mike](Without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced

That there's just too much pressure to take)

I've felt this way before

So insecure

Crawling in my skin

These wounds they will not heal

Fear is how I fall

Confusing what is real

Crawling in my skin

These wounds they will not heal

Fear is how I fall

Confusing confusing what is real

[Mike][There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface,

Consuming]

[Chester][Confusing what is real]

[Mike][This lack of self control I fear is never ending,

Controlling]

[Chester][Confusing what is real]

Leave Out All The Rest

I dreamed I was missing.
You were so scared,
But no one would listen
'Cause no one else care.

After my dreaming,
I woke with this fear.
What am I leaving,
When I'm done here?

So if you're asking me,
I want you to know:

[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done,
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed.
And, don't resent me,
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory,
Leave out all the rest

Leave out all the rest...

Don't be afraid
Of taking my beating.
I've shared what I'd made.

I'm strong on the surface,
Not all the way through.
I've never been perfect,
But neither have you.

So if you're asking me,
I want you to know:

[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done,
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed.
Don't resent me,
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory,
Leave out all the rest

Leave out all the rest...

Forgetting,
All the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well.

Pretending,
Someone else can come
And save me from myself.
I can't be who you are.

[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done,
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed.
Don't resent me,
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory,
Leave out all the rest

Leave out all the rest...

Forgetting,
All the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well.

Pretending,
Someone else can come and save me from myself.
I can't be who you are...
I can't be who you are.

From the Inside

[Chester (Mike)]
I don't know who to trust.
No surprise.
(Everyone feels so far away from me)
Heavy thoughts sift through dust
And the lies...
(Trying not to break,
But I'm so tired of this deceit...
Every time I try to make myself get back upon my feet)

[Mike (Chester)]
All I ever think (I...) about is this
All the timing time between and how
Trying to put my trust in you just takes so much out of me

[Chorus][Chester/Mike]
Take everything from the inside
And throw it all away
'Cause I swear, for the last time
I won't trust myself with you

[Chester (Mike)]
Tension is building inside...
Steadily
(Everyone feels so far away from me)
Heavy thoughts forcing their way...
Out of me
(Trying not to break
But I'm so tired of this deceit...
Every time I try to make myself get back upon my feet)

[Mike (Chester)]
All I ever think (I...) about is this
All the timing time between and how
Trying to put my trust in you just takes so much out of me

[Chorus]

[Chester]
I won't waste myself on YOU!
YOU!
YOU!
Waste myself on YOU!
YOU!
YOU!

I'll...

Take everything from the inside
And throw it all away
'Cause I swear, for the last time
I won't trust myself with you

Everything...
From the inside
And throw it all away
'Cause I swear, for the last time
I won't trust myself with you!
YOU!
YOU!!

Given Up

Wake in a sweat again
Another day's been laid to waste
In my disgrace
Stuck in my head again
Feels like I'll never leave this place
There's no escape

I'm my own worst enemy

I've given up, I'm sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away, I'm suffocating
Tell me what the fuck is wrong with me

I don't know what to take
Thought I was focused, but I'm scared
I'm not prepared
I hyperventilate
Looking for help, somehow, somewhere
And no one cares

I'm my own worst enemy

I've given up, I'm sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away, I'm suffocating
Tell me what the fuck is wrong with me

God!!!

Put me out of my misery!
Put me out of my misery!
Put me out of my
Put me out of my fucking misery!

I've given up, I'm sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away, I'm suffocating
Tell me what the fuck is wrong with me

Faint

I am
Little bit of loneliness
A little bit of disregard
A handful of complaints
But i can't help the fact
That everyone can see these scars
I am
What i want you to want
What i want you to feel
But it's like
No matter what i do
I can't convince you
To just believe this is real
So i let go
Watching you
Turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that i'm not
But i'll be here
Cause you're all that i`ve got

I can't feel
The way i did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
This damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored

I am
A little bit insecure
A little unconfident
Cause you don't understand
I do what i can
But sometimes i don't make sense
I am
What you never want to say
But i've never had a doubt
It's like no matter what i do
I can't convince you
For once just to hear me out
So i let go
Watching you
Turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that i'm not
But i'll be here
Cause you're all that i´ve got

I can't feel
The way i did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
This damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored

No
Hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me
Like it or not right now

Hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me
Like it or not right now

I can't feel
The way i did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored

I can't feel
The way i did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
This damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored

I can't feel
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't change
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored

Breaking a Habit

Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again

I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm
Breaking the habit
Breaking the habit
Tonight

Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again

I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So I'm
Breaking the habit
Breaking the habit
Tonight

I'll paint it on the walls
'Cause I'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
To show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So I'm
Breaking the habit
Breaking the habit
Breaking the habit
Tonight
