Rhyme Asylum - Lost lyrics
(Skirmish) I was birthed in a savage hell Where the system's a straitjacket and great planet Earth is a padded cell Trapped in the same place, we live in a maze With deadly weapons hidden away in these militant days To reach a different stage we must struggle and strive I can't sit in this cage believing government lies Whilst they just juggle our lives, the future is bleak ‘Cause we've got youths on the streets causing trouble with knives So when will this havoc stop? I said a holy prayer for people not to vote for Tony Blair in the ballot box ‘Cause his only care's hiding the truth from people The greed of mankind fertilizing the roots of evil Searching for life's purpose, knowing I'm lost Never going to mosque or praying at Christ's churches Displaying tight verses has become a way of life Leading a sinful path will cause me to pay a price And now burning in Hell is bound to be my ending fate Can't have a life in paradise or enter Heaven's gates We're all rats in a race, on a climb and chasing glory Can't fall flat on my face, I know time ain't waiting for me So my aim's making progress, finding a safe haven But my brain's aching in this painstaking process In this life I lead I either fight or bleed ‘Cause all the sights of greed affected this righteous seed And knowing how unkind life can seem My mind drifts 'cause it's sometimes nice to dream And deep inside of me I feel I need to change ‘Cause only in times of need is when I seem to pray We're even harming ourselves with the air we're breathing I'm so stressed to the point where my hair's receding Humans losing their lives in violent k**ings I'm waiting for the world to end and time is ticking… Some people choose the path of righteous living While others refused to be brainwashed by religion So repent your sins before Christ has risen Until the end begins I choose to fight the system Roads roamed by the coldest of souls with devilish eyes Seeing how most of the globe's Americanized Fire in the heavenly skies and Armageddon Drifting into darkness so far from Heaven And the meaning of life remains an unanswered question Unlearned from mistakes in the past and present Now humanity's overpowered by the forces of evil And over time God's become less important to people Destination's off the rails, living life Committing crimes, ending up locked in jail Using guns and knives, ruining tons of lives It's like a permanent black cloud over these London skies… [Hook] Feeling trapped 'cause the system's infected So take a step back and look at life from a different perspective The ups and downs; just when you touch the clouds Your luck is out and you fall to the dusty ground Haunted by this horrible carnage, life's a nightmare I lie scared, lost in the darkness The ups and downs; just when you touch the clouds Your luck is out and you fall to the dusty ground [Psiklone] This is a lost world full of crazy places It's hell on earth and it's getting worse on a daily basis Head's spinning from lack of sleep, on the brink of insanity I clench my fist to get a grip on reality Sick of twisted morality, dodging the sly snakes Locked in a mind state, never following blind faith Our food's plagued with carcinogens What's hardest to fathom is parts of this planet are starving to d**h Imprison the white Nazis, humans are equal Yet the stupidest people build systems of hierarchy The famous praised by these mugs They're the same as a layman at my stop waiting in the rain for the bus Cancer, crack and the AIDS virus No intelligence, idiots commit random acts of insane violence People are ignorant, evil is infinite Kept breathing by a breed of secretive syndicates No justice in legal systems, teach the victims And it seems evil villains only see weeks in prison Resentfully await the end of time, racists generalize The devil manifests through hateful genocides Burning molecules of fossil fuels, wasting the planet's energy Packets of tobacco are plagued with satanic devilry The aftermath of bloodshed's everlasting No genies in bottles, just spirits - wishes never granted Bunning their lungs up on cigarettes, drinking to hidden depths Looking like stick insects, the living dead Extinction's been maliciously planned Don't roll religious, the holy scriptures were written by man People leading a life of secrets and lies Deep in the night, being deceitful and leaving to cheat on their wives Ascending divorce rates Relationships turn tasteless quick and end in defendin' a court case I ain't even livin' in cardboard boxes But right now it seems like my life's got more issues than Marvel comics The capital city got no superheroes The value of human life's been reduced to zero The evolution of street pollution Means the fumes that are breathed by humans induce disease and tumors And wars bring national panic and civilian corpses Military forces cause collateral damage Politics is a lost abyss, we've got no control Trapped on our mobile phones doomed for apocalypse So f** the general election ‘Cause most are ignorant to others livin' at the opposite ends of the spectrum What if life's an illusion? A mystery, and some people spend their entire time trying to find a solution All I know is while I strive for the truth and fight the confusion Still ain't reached my final conclusion (and that's it…) [Hook]
