Hyena - Hyena (2019)


Hyena - Hyena Lyrics

1. Power

rules of power
social rules don't apply
power--do we know our limits?
roles of power
thirst  for more
no rules apply
lie and steal
cheat your way through life
what will you do with a gun or a knife?

2. No Capacity

curled up safe with your loved ones
warm inside your belly's full
you can't see beyond your doorstep
curled up safe--you ask for more
no capacity for remorse
entitled green has run its course

3. Plagued

on the outside looking in
visions haunt me
i can't erase it--replayed in my head
on the outside looking in
lovers distorted - faces removed
static signals, but you can see
why not me?
plagued

4. Breakout

locked inside
scream and cry
lost attention
think i could die
daily life--planned escapes
test the outside?
i'd rather hide
breakout
monsters fight to keep me locked in
breakout
gotta stay on my feet
breakout
trapped inside forever
claw the beasts who lock you in

5. Sanatorium

sanatorium--conditioned to watch
watch the sand drain through the hourglass
past and present - infinity loop
the future - climate of fear
sanatorium - watch the hours pass
sanatorium - break the fucking hourglass
sanatorium--watch the sand drain from our mouths

6. No Remorse

crime - fueled by passion
blood - a nation's obsession
desensitized from the violence
entertained by the cost of life
no remorse
scream for death
no prayers for life
where's the peace?

7. Lies

moral obligation is out the door
the future--filled with hatred driven by you
the world's not for the people
it's for the fools in power
will the charade of madness end?
accuse them
hear their lies
watch the people suffer

8. War

destruction mutually assured
people living as targets
no remorse in taking lives
the innocent--pawns in a game
we have no say in our fate
they let us die
political pressure and their personal agenda
but the targets on our backs
why do they get to kill?
we never wanted the war, but we're the ones who die
we never wanted the war, they let the innocent die
we never chose the war, but we're the ones who pay

9. Laugh

laugh at me
laughing stock of the crowd
watch me suffer - watch me burn
twist the blade and watch me cringe
at my weakest, at wits end
you don't know how it feels
sounds of laughter fill my head
one day you'll wake up and see
i'll be laughing

10. Culture of Violence

look at the world fall apart
whose hands are at fault?
racially charged social destruction
shatter the stigma spawned by hate
culture of violence
it's all a lie
xenophobia
the blood's on your knife

11. Layers

endless desire fills our void
nightmares--no one can hide
layered
depths of darkness
layered
harboured inside
peel back the flesh
drain the blood
layers - so many flaws

12. Narcissist

run your mouth and spread your lies
always try and hide from your mistakes
dead inside - but you're fucking rich
you live your life at others expense
narcissist
don't waste my time
narcissist - go fucking die
you have no friends
your shit won't end

13. No Sympathy

stagnant life
achievements lacking
one step forward - kicked right back
others think i have talent
i just feel like a useless hack
no sympathy for myself

14. Self Abuse

sick of suppression
need some release
built for destruction
how much can i take?
self abuse
you finally consent to poison indulgence
feel numb on the inside
embrace the pain
self abuse
bury all your feelings and channel all the hate
self abuse feels right

15. Nest of Vipers

crave attention with buttons you push
open wounds you've never touched
nest of vipers
poke around - you don't belong
stir the pot and you find it wrong
criticize them
