  • Thou shalt not
    Kill your fathers, destroy another life
    Question everything we clung to for years
    Live forever, design a better death
    Confuse a liar with a savior from fear
    Create a myth and separate the chosen ones
    Adolescent independence, dominion
    I only wanna believe in fuckin' anything
    But now my conscience is contradicting everything

    The ending's the same, the world will not change
    The answer is clear

    Tell your mothers they have no sons or daughters
    Blame yourselves because your children are mine
    We are orphans, but we are not forgotten
    And we will find a way to save us this time
    We can run, but we are tired of running
    We're dropping seconds in a glass till we die
    We only wanna believe in fuckin' everything
    But we're alive and we're not accepting anything

    The ending's the same, the world will not change
    The answer is clear? annihilation

    I won't control or restrain things I do not understand
    Now I realize I'm stronger then I was
    They gave to me now I give to you the means to burn the thoughts I had
    Now I realize I'm stronger better more

    We have to save ourselves
    We have to save ourselves
    We have to save ourselves
    We have to save ourselves
    We have to save ourselves
    We have to save ourselves

    I will never become another piece
    Inside the paralytic construct I hate
    Live forever? well, I would rather die
    At least I'd know I wasn't theirs to create
    This is yours, but you had better choose
    Before they take away your right to decide
    I guess I'll never believe in fuckin' anything
    But my solace is I can handle everything

    The ending's the same, the world will not change
    The answer is clear, obliteration

    I won't control or restrain things I do not understand
    Now I realize I'm stronger then I
    They gave to me now I give to you the means to burn the thoughts I had
    Now I realize I'm stronger better

    I won't control or restrain things I do not understand
    Now I realize I'm stronger then I
    They gave to me now I give to you the means to burn the thoughts I had
    Now I realize I'm stronger better more

    We have to save ourselves
    We have to save ourselves
    We have to save ourselves
    We have to save ourselves
    We have to save ourselves
    We have to save ourselves Writer/s: CHRIS FEHN, CHRISTOPHER FEHN, COREY TAYLOR, CRAIG JONES, JAMES ROOT, MICHAEL CRAHAN, MICKAEL THOMSON, NATHAN JORDISON, PAUL GRAY, SID WILSON, SIDNEY WILSON
