Keep An Eye Out
03:58
|

clowns & their games,
tyrants all the same
first to point the finger,
they won’t take any blame
pay close attention to tricks they like to play
carefree & reckless
silently enslaved
they see us as worthless, with a laughable purpose
sharpen your awareness
keep an eye out
law maker/life taker
they’ve done their worst to humanity
powers that be, swift to deceive
nothing, beyond nothing will go unseen
divide & conquer, the name of the game so…
keep an eye out
they see us as worthless
with a laughable purpose
sharpen your awareness
keep an eye out
we’ve been severely distracted
why trust a suit before your own family?
keep an eye out

Hidden In Plain Sight
03:43
|

behind a mask, beyond the eyes
look into the shadow & see thru the disguise
i pray to see the day
this nightmare get put to rest
the world was formed into a blade
& thrusted into my chest
in the absence of light
moving through a void
hidden by a shadow
hidden in plain sight
gotta heal from these old wounds
before we go & meet our old friend doom
some walk with god
same dance with the devil
others skip in between
I just wanna find a way past your scheme
in the absence of light
moving through a void
hidden by a shadow
hidden in plain sight
the force of ones words
explode with passion
hardened by nature
violent in fashion
expose yourself, now
hidden in plain sight

Internalized
03:37
|
|||
I can see you’ve been fighting,
struggling to find peace within
are you more afraid of peace than war?
internalized
how do you know where you’re going
if you don’t recall where it is you’ve been?
if you’re not straight with your intent
your will is easily bent
internalized, traumatized
there’s something you haven’t told me
internalized
no matter what you do or say
oppositions will surely come your way
keep it moving, won’t be held back
traumatized, internalized
a parasite that attacks
turns all your lies into fact
the one who doesn’t care at all
tries to stop us from standing tall
internalized, traumatized
still haven’t got the whole story
internalized
no matter what you do or say
oppositions will surely come your way
keep it moving, won’t be held back
traumatized, internalized

Awake In A Dream
03:10
|

awake in a dream
in a place so familiar to me
there’s no mistaking lucidity
vast as the night
deep as the sea
I’ve never felt so free
awake in a dream
thought I was supposed to sleeping
suddenly aware that i’m dreaming
i’ve come face to face with the enemy
awake in a dream
walking across a wire, gotta maintain control
a delicate balance, taken by the turbulence
deadly patterns found a way to manifest
all you can do is our best, not any more,
to stand the test
awake in a dream
thought I was supposed to be sleeping,
suddenly, aware that I’m dreaming
I’ve come face to face with the enemy,
awake in a dream
I’ve been here before,
soaring through the sky,
beneath freezing waters,
so deep below
next to impossible,
different worlds start to blend
to think that I have an answer,
I won’t even pretend
awake in a dream

Above No One
03:01
|
|||
walk with purpose
speak with authority
no one is above or below me
recognize the worth of a breath
& when you have only one left
will it leave you body with gratitude?
step down from your pedestal
we’ll see how you measure up
above no one
fall back in line
play your position
above no one
lets make this message perfectly clear
everything you hold so dear
takes only one moment to disappear
what about those who go without help everyday?
who are they to turn to?
ignored they’ll go astray
above no one
fall back in line
play your position
above no one
what will you take with you when you leave this earth?
only what you brought on your day of birth
not the clothes off your back
not the shoes on your feet
what is that makes you feel complete?
above no one

Guilt Free
02:52
|
|||
no need to plead for my innocence
no need to justify my disobedience
shame & regret can be hard to forget
& so I choose to live guilt-free
quick to pull the trigger
just as quick to judge
what’s it gonna be when the verdict comes?
I remain guilt-free
I may be a sinner
before the creator
I admit my short comings
holier-than-thou
you want me to bow
you are not my savior
quick to pull the trigger
just as quick to judge
what’s it gonna be when the verdict comes?
I am guilt-free
I am not a victim to the laws of man
I can count the reasons on just one hand
I am guilt-free

Caught Between Nothing
03:03
|
|||
you don’t comprehend our ways
it comes as no surprise
unbound by how you criticize
won’t wait for you to recognize
there’s little to be figured out
take heed to the words we shout
act like you know something
caught between nothing
we can take it to any degree
there’s no stopping a style so free
don’t hold back all that you bring
caught between nothing
witness significance
fill your gap of ignorance
allow me to tell you something,
caught between nothing
throwing your labels around,
they don’t stick, they fall straight to the ground
there is no escaping the sound
caught between nothing
ear to ear with a grin,
as they try to lump us in
unstuck with everywhere to move,
without a point to prove
caught between nothing

Reap What You Sow
03:31
|
|||
day to day, moment to moment
burning hours internally
nothing is impossible
if you’d only seek possibility
still facing these obstacles
putting strain on my mental
staring down the debt that I owe
toiling madness takes it’s toll
reap what you sow
wearing myself thin
grinding down my nerves
I’ve found myself in a hole
how long will we blame others
for our own experience?
it was always meant to turn out like this
no such thing as coincidence
no stroke of luck
oh no, not by chance
our existence is momentary
created without stress or worry
reap what you sow
you will reap what you sow
we will reap what we sow
reap what you sow
its your life to create
transformed out of hate
going against the flow
you only reap what you sow

The Consequence
03:43
|
|||
take a step back, take a moment to reflect
with everything moving so fast
it’s too easy to feel like a grand of sand
in a century glass
going through the motions,
this time it’s different than before
pushed even stronger,
shut out at every door
the movements turned against you
totally emerged in loneliness
this time is no time to become stagnant
allow all anguish to be expressed
like a prophetic dream,
you know I’ve seen what’s coming
Its looking grim for you
no chance to see better days,
if you could only change your ways
suffer no consequence
what are you running from?
where are you running too?
why are you running?
looking for something to spark your interest
tired of being in this mess
& that’s the consequence
everything moves in a pattern
all faith restored,
absorbed & explored
free from all doubt & hesitation
suffer no consequence

Take Offense Chula Vista, California
In an age where everyone is strapping on white high tops and studying the ways of DRI, Celtic Frost, and Judas Priest, Take Offense have found a new approach crafted with a sense of modernity– incorporating the hard-driving ethos of thrash, the finesse of speed metal, the sneering tenacity of hardcore all while nodding to their home of Southern California. ... more
