1.	Choke On The Blood - Featuring Eddie Leeway 02:42	lyrics	buy track
Wounds of society fester in our ignorance. Turning our backs on truth Covering our eyes defend our ears These tongues grow silent, dry up dry up dry up and wither away The blood of the poor, mistreated, marginalized are on our hands. Dripping from finger to toe. As we witness a Vulture circling a crow. We are already dead if we stand in silence. Choke on the Blood We mustn't sleep Follow the Heard like mobs of Sheep Knife stuck in your back so deep Could this pain be...ours to keep? Playing dead is practice for the great demise It’s time we rise! Wake up the slain Wake up the defeated! No more playing dead! *Choke on the Blood We mustn't sleep Follow the Herd like mobs of Sheep Knife stuck in your back so deep Could this pain be...ours to keep? Don’t follow the lies follow the lies Politicians hold you down every time Media is pushing its agenda on you Spreading Division instead of truth It happens every time every time Money is worth more than a human life ...NO MORE! ...WE WONT TAKE IT ANYMORE!!
2.	Mental Break 02:35	lyrics	buy track
All the screams inside my head Ditch the pain- ditch the dread Tear my skin as it creeps eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep Pull my teeth out one by one I knew this day would finally come... Mental Break Down!-Down!-Down!-Down! PMA chase these thoughts away! Mental Break Down!-Down!-Down!-Down! I say my peace and I pray! Mental Break Down!-Down!-Down!-Down! sanity lost, I feel betrayed Mental break down-down-down down down down down — truth is we are all weak future is looking bleak state of aggression Wrestle with depression I preach the PMA Showing signs of decay Is it all in my brain!? Or Am I going INSANE! Mental Break Down!-Down!-Down!-Down! PMA chase these thoughts away! Mental Break Down!-Down!-Down!-Down! I say my peace and I pray! Mental Break Down!-Down!-Down!-Down! sanity lost, I feel betrayed Mental break down-down-down down down down down — No where to hide Overcome suicide Trapped in my head The ego has been fed For days and days Fuel for the fire My words make me a liar Death is upon me Who will I offend? Or wake from the dead? Mental Break Down!-Down!-Down!-Down! PMA chase these thoughts away! Mental Break Down!-Down!-Down!-Down! I say my peace and I pray! Mental Break Down!-Down!-Down!-Down! sanity lost, I feel betrayed Mental break down-down-down down!!!
3.	No Dependencies - Featuring Adam of The Kreutzer Sonata 02:32	lyrics	buy track
I don't want any dependencies. No booze, No smokes, No dirty drugs please. No pills that speed up my mind Cut GMOs from my food I'll be just fine. No added sugar , I thought you should know... These are my choices They make me whole. It’s not for me I don't want any dependencies! Chemical Free! I don't want to alter my Mind! Raw food for me It's my Body... Spit out the poison! It's about Time! PMA is the choice for me. It stimulates my mind and sets me free. If this is not how you choose to be... Doing what's best for you is key... I'm opposed to a negative life... I choose do what's personally right... (x2) Its not for me I don't want any dependencies! Chemical Free! I don't want to alter my Mind! Raw Food for me It's my Body... Spit out the poison! It's about that Time! ....IT’S ABOUT TIME! I've seen the fate of dependency, in the bar i work and the junkies in the street, its just a few beers for me, but ive seen enough to put respect in what you believe, I've seen friends towing the line, of casually using and losing their minds, we may lead different lives, but both sides of hardcore have to see through and unite Its not for me I don't want any dependencies! Chemical Free! I don't want to alter my Mind! Raw food for me It's my Body... I Spit out the poison! It's about that Time! Meat and Dairy industry have hooks in you... Bloodlust, Blood money makes us fools... Our bodies are temples made to shine.... Don't fill it with garbage, sludge and grim... Take a deep breath this is the world we made... I refuse to be an industry slave. I refuse to be an industry slave.
4.	You Don’t Always Die From Tobacco* 00:35	lyrics	buy track
You don’t always die from tobacco Sometimes you just lose a lung. You don’t always die from tobacco. Sometimes they just snip out your tongue. And you won’t sing worth a heck With a big hole in your neck Cause you don’t always die from tobacco. STRAIGHT EDGE!
5.	Setting Us Back - Featuring Wynn of StrikeFirst 02:03	lyrics	buy track
I won’t let my privilege blind my eyes stand up for our brothers and sisters of all colors time to get wise. We Must get wise Make America Great again!? More like setting us back! misogyny & Hatred Unity you lack! Politicians scream division from a soap box stage We the people have been covered by this plague Stand in real Unity strong! Westernized standards have become (all) wrong Make America Great again!? More like setting us back! misogyny & Hatred Unity you lack! Backwards thinking is making us blind Men better than women thoughts we must leave behind Get wise and leave it all in the past No political party cares about your (Tink) Make America Great again!? More like setting us back! misogyny & Hatred Unity you lack! The state vs you not red vs blue

Some days won't end some days pass on by I'll be working here forever, at least until I die Damned if you do, damned if you don't I'm supposed to get a raise you know I won't Workin' for a livin' (Workin') Workin' for a livin' (Workin') Workin' for a livin', livin' and workin' I'm taking what they're giving 'cause I'm workin' for a livin' I'm not complainin' 'cause I really need the work Hittin' up my buddy's got me feelin' like a jerk Hundred dollar car note, two hundred rent I get a check on Friday, but it's all ready spent Workin' for a livin' (Workin') Workin' for a livin' (Workin') Workin' for a livin', livin' and workin' I'm takin' what they're givin' 'cause I'm workin' for a livin’ Bus boy, bartender, ladies of the night Grease monkey, ex-junky, winner of the fight Walkin' on the streets it's really all the same Sellin' souls, rock 'n' roll, any other day Workin' for a livin' (Workin') Workin' for a livin' (Workin') Workin' for a livin', livin' and workin' I'm takin' what they're givin' 'cause I'm workin' for a livin’
