Hard Stare 02:57
I'm starin' hard at you and I don't like what I see; a harsh reminder, my mistakes are starin' back at me. You say you try your best and "this world, it just doesn't care", but that's a lie and why I'm giving you a hard stare! I've seen through your act, I see now the many cracks. I can seen the facts, I see how you've lied and failed us all. You fucking hypocrite! You never even tried. One thing they say is that in this life you get what you give. And all I've got from you? Behaviour that I can't forgive. I've had enough of it, had enough of taking your digs. I was led blind but now my eyes are wide, I see through it. I've seen through your act, I can see the many cracks. I can seen the facts, I see how you've lied and failed us all. Another failed attempt. HARD STARE. Keep up the fucking act, son; see where it gets you after all is said and done. Open your eyes wide, see what's coming in the distance: resistance. Take a deep dive inside your mind, look at your existence. What's missing? I'm starin' hard at you and I don't like what I see; a harsh reminder, my mistakes are starin' back at me. You say you try your best and "this world, it just doesn't care"... What else is new?

There is a world goin' on outside, with or without you, and those that you trust to make things right don't have a clue. I just want you to hate them the way that they hate you. I just need you to see the things they say are never true. It's like a magic trick, they've got you under their spell with their words, oh so slick. They've got you smiling along while they put you through hell and won't admit they were wrong. Money-grabbing power hungry pricks. Everything they say, it makes me sick. Money-grabbing power hungry pricks. Everything they say, it makes me... Ugh. Life is your constant struggle, a never ending fight. Don't let them live inside your head and tell you what's right. You know better. Switch on, log in, drop out; erase your every doubt. Switch on, log in, drop out; don't think for yourself, now. Alone, advance, redo; see what they think of you. Alone, advance, redo; just think for yourself now, c'mon. Take the strain. Flex your brain. Break the chain. Fuck them. You don't need them.

Nothing lasts forever and you don't need anyone. Nothing lasts forever and you don't need anyone. It's so tough to sit and listen to you diggin' through this stuff. Got you reminiscin', got you wishin' you'd taken... Maybe if you'd listened and... Taken some more chances? Then who knows where you'd be? Maybe you'd be better off, maybe you'd feel free? But there's one thing that you know: you need to let it go. Your frustration levels rise. Resolution comes in time. Nothing lasts forever and you don't need anyone. Nothing lasts forever and you don't need anyone. I don't know who I am, or what I'm trying to achieve here, But I know what I never, who I never wanna be. I'm not that. That's something, at least. Your frustration levels rise. Resolution comes in time. Nothing lasts forever and you don't need anyone. Nothing lasts forever and you don't need anyone. Every day, needless pressure. And all your life, needless pressure. And every day, needless pressure, and pressure, and pressure, and pressure and pressuring - why? Every day, needless pressure. And all your life, needless pressure. And every day, needless pressure, and pressure, and pressure, and pressure and pressuring - STOP. Stop. Nothing lasts forever and you don't need anyone. Nothing lasts forever and you don't need anyone. Let it go.

With so many things to see and so many things to do, I am running out of reasons to keep hanging 'round for you. So I'm doing right by me; no more sitting on my hands, living, hoping, praying that you won't shit on my plans. I will see you when I see you. I will see you when I see you. Can't keep hanging 'round, I'll see you when I see you. I can't hesitate, no more waitin' on a whim. I have no obligation, and my patience? Wearing thin. I'm not happy to be saying that I'm leaving you behind, but you're dragging me down with you so I need to speak my mind. I will see you when I see you. I will see you when I see you. Can't keep hanging 'round. I'll see when I see you. Cheerio, cheerio, cheerio! Cheerio, cheerio, cheerio, Fuck you.
