Lyrics – Skag City Demo

  • Skag City

See the rage behind these eyes
As we get fat Chicago dies
What was intended they are not
Born in a town that God forgot

Burn my homeland to the ground
Now’s the time, now’s the time

Release the hounds
The hounds
Release the hounds

My country
Insurgency
Sedition
On your knees

Hear the screams
Our enemies
The battle for
Skag City

See the rage behind these eyes
As we get fat Chicago dies
Try and rewrite history
And delete our effigies

Now’s the time, now’s the time
Now’s the time

My country
Insurgency
Sedition
On your knees

From the skies
Bring fire and cries
The battle for
Skag City

Join me
Join me
Retake Skag City

  • Chrome

They tell me I’ve a heart of stone
I tell you I’ve a heart of chrome
Your love is flowing inside me
Through my veins of circuitry

I can understand now
I was made for you now
There’s no turning back
No way
No way
No way

I will always love you
I have always known you
There’s no turning back
No way
No way
No way

The multitude created me
The architect developed me
Revenger, her defender
Revenger

“People look away”
She told me on production day
“The selfish pigs imbue malaise”
“I weep alone, they’ll pay in spades”

My life, my love you instruct me
Immolate thine enemies
Through the fold I hear the screams
Tread beneath this war machine

They tell me I’ve a heart of stone
I tell you I’ve a heart of chrome
Your love is flowing inside me
Through my veins of circuitry

Revenger, her defender
Her defender
Revenger

They tell me I’ve a heart of stone
I tell you I’ve a heart of chrome
Your love is flowing inside me
Through my veins of circuitry

  • Comanche

Coming home
Coming home

I hunt him through his killing spree
Turns out he’s been chasing mee

I told him not,
I told him not,
I told him not to do that

I fear the sins of my past have returned to haunt me
And the cost I cannot afford

Whoa
Whoa
Comanche
Comanche
Comanche

I can’t see anything
Comanche
I would give anything
Comanche

I told him not,
I told him not,
I told him not to do that

I told him not,
I told him not,
I told him not to do that

Home again
Home again

Home again
Home again
One more time around

People incapable of guilt usually have a great fucking time

Whoa
Whoa
I can’t see anything
Your way
I would give anything
Any day

I can’t see anything
Comanche
I would give anything
Comanche

Long have I feared the sins of my past
Would return to haunt me
And the cost they ask I cannot afford

I command you stop your search he said
Then he shaved my head
Lord of the plains I am
The devil’s will I tend

I cannot count my dead he said
My reasons for bloodshed
Every dream I have
There is a monster at the end

Why’d you take my eyes from me?
I ask the comanche
Welcome to my private hell
You won’t need them to see

I cannot count my dead he said
My reasons for bloodshed
Every dream you have
I’ll put a monster at the end

At the end
The end
At the end

  • Running Man

Everywhere I run I feel your eyes on me
I bleed too
Just like you

Everywhere I run I am in constant pain
Why can’t I live
Why can’t I sleep

Walk away from me
Soon you’ll see
Your love for me
Meant nothing

My life, my love, my heart, my plan
I’m the running man
Electric charge for full control
Your chemicals

Live my life amongst machine
What it’s done to me
Fall upon where life began
Running man

Laugh, you laugh with me
But when I grieve
I grieve alone
And disowned

Walk away from me
Soon you’ll see
Your love for me
Meant nothing

My life, my love, my heart, my plan
I’m the running man
Electric charge for decontrol
To pay my toll

Live my live amongst machine
What it’s done to me
I’ve lost my sight
Running man

How’d I lose my way
You use you demand and-you-take
Pushed me into this state
I’ll never be the same

I’ve lost my sight

  • Evolution

Whoa oh there’s a steel plate on my madness
And the rivets are breaking free

Whoa oh these modern times breed sadness
Or I’m just so happy, I can hardly breathe

Why would you lie to me, why would you deny to me
Unrequited, while you lay down beside of me
Photograph my body, so you remember me
Cause I can’t see, where the emptiness gets me
So I type righteousness, dial enlightenment,
I get my response, evolution entitlement
This city’s so big, but not a soul in it
They’re long gone

You know that you lie
You’ll deny
Life in 16×9
You lay down

Whoa oh this YouTube generation
And their attention span starvation

Whoa oh seek love in moderation
Or suffer public emasculation
Castration

Whoa oh vast wisdom surrounds me
And watch it fail without USB

Edison
Ford
Jefferson
Bell
Wright
Franklin
Rockefeller
Zuckerberg

Whoa oh evolve or die in tatters
The hell with you, I’ll choose the latter
I said the hell with you, I’ll choose the latter

Death is certain
Death is certain
Death is certain
Life is not

  • The Lottery

(MC)
Congratulations everyone, you’ve won the lottery
Today you will be judge
The doors behind you are closed
They’re locked
There’s no leaving here
But that’s ok you’re supposed to be here
You’ve all won the lottery
Step right up and hand me your ticket
(End MC)

Single file lines
On our knees
We poor souls
Won the lottery

Guess we didn’t think
It’d come to this
A single judge and jury
To the narcissists

No more screens
No more likes
No more tweets
No more time

(MC)
You fools cut your own throats!
(End MC)

Now they line us up to die.

(MC)
You’ve cut your own throats.
(End MC)

I can’t find
Find the time
Tiny screens have made me blind

No one’s come
To rescue me
We’ve been called to the lottery

Can this be
A killing spree
We poor souls won the lottery

I dream of the days of old
Cobalt sky, fields of gold
I can’t find you there
I can’t find you there

I dream of the days of old
We sell our souls to pay our toll
I can’t find you there
I can’t find you there

(MC)
I am here to lead you up to light.
(End MC)

Remember a time
When we were young?
We’d think of one another
We’d bite our tongues

Now we sit and wait
For someone to slip
Drag them through the mud yeah
Just for a kick

Remember a time
When we weren’t betrayed
In each other’s arms
We weren’t afraid

These doors are locked
there’s no leaving here
zero signal
No social stratosphere

(MC)
3, 2, 1 FIRE
(End MC)

I dream of the days of old
Cobalt sky, fields of gold
I can’t find you there
I can’t find you there

I dream of the days of old
We sell our souls to pay our toll
I can’t find you there
While I die you simply stare

The lottery – a killing spree
The lottery
The lottery
The lottery – a killing spree
The lottery
The lottery

  • Anhedonia

Anhedonia
Anhedonia

I can’t feel a thing
You’re miles away, no you’re sitting right here
Sitting right here next to me

These chemicals
Have robbed me, robbed me
Of my passion, my abilities

Anhedonia
Anhedonia

I don’t wanna feel you
And I don’t wanna see you
But I don’t wanna leave you
Incapable of keeping you

Anhedonia
Anhedonia
The high life is calling

Since you’ve been missing
The world has stopped spinning

Anhedonia
Anhedonia

I don’t wanna feel you
And I don’t wanna see you
But I don’t wanna leave you
Incapable of keeping you

Take a walk
Through my ear
In my mind
This is what you’ll hear

Look to the cold moon & know
My sun it rises and sets for you

Anhedonia
Anhedonia
The high life’s upon us
The high life’s upon us

  • Dinero

I just came into some money
Now I have got the law upon me

But I, I am very cunning
My friend, my friend

Kick it

But I
I’m something you don’t want to see
I’m beggin’ you to save me

Save me
Save me

I just came into some money
Now I have got the law upon me

As I ride into uncertainty
I’ll think of you eternally

My love, my love

  • My World

Far from everyone
My place under the sun
I’ve got all I need
And all I’d ever want

Had my share of madness
But comforted your sadness
My world
That’s my world
That’s my world

I was young and I tried so hard not to be
The multitude, the monotony

I was stifled by the strangers, pretenders
Their phony epiphanies

I’d lost all my sympathy

To all I’ve ever lied
To all that I’ve made cry
Consider these apologies
I’ll dry your eyes

To all I’ve ever lied
To all that I’ve made cry
Your new life will pick you up
And you’ll get by

The day that I met you
I wasn’t lookin’ for something new
But your eyes spoke
You loved me too

We’d talk with an ambition
About what the world was missing
You’d forgiven me
And I’d forgiven you

To you I give my life
To you my beloved bride
You and me will always be
Through the low and highs

To you I give my life
To you my love divine
You and me will always be
We’ll never die

Far from everyone
My place under the sun
I’ve got all I need
And all I’d ever want
