Prey

I'm staring at my younger self, trapped inside another hell I'm staring at my current self, trapped inside another hell I'm staring at my older self, trapped inside another hell The voices in your head are the beasts seeking prey The ones that bring you down and try to lead you astray Internal warfare, dropping bombs every day A shaman to this tribe trying to find a peaceful way Come and tag along for the experience Stuck inside a system so insidious Blind us with the bling, shiny things, so delirious No time to take a joke cause this world is too serious As a heart attack, no seriously Heart attacks are what be stopping that And holding us back and running off tracks Ending careers that bring us to tears Instead of dealing with emotions we just bury how we feel Oppress it, suppress it, repress it and hope it's gone Bubbles to the surface in ways we never guess It's funny what the mind can do when under loads of stress It's funny what they make us do like we're their little pets HA Awakened to their systems, spark a little fire when we hit the intermission Infiltrate the infrastructure, take the pots they piss in And throw them out the windows so we make them pay attention We will make them pay attention Throw them out the windows, yes we'll make them pay attention Take the pots they piss in and throw them out the windows cause we'll make them pay attention Somebody pray for me, they look like prey to me They like prey to me, somebody pray for me I'm staring at my younger self, trapped inside another hell Trying to climb the ladder ring the bell I'm staring at my older self, trapped inside another hell Trying to climb the ladder ring the bell Everybody clambering and everybody yammering But everyone is stuck inside a cell I said everybody yammering and everybody clambering But everyone is stuck inside a cell Extraction operation, mining through the generations There's only so much gold that they can sell So hustle hustle harder like your name is Sean Carter But inside your own mind is where you dwell You sitting on that couch while you gain another ounce Easy prey for the first one to pounce I said you sitting on that couch while you gain another ounce Easy prey for the first one to pounce Your ass ripe for the picking, sticky icky finger licking Milk the cow for everything that she's worth And when she's dried up, chew her up and shit her out Here's some more leather, go on make a purse They push us, they prod us, they herd us, desert us Useless once we're lying in the hearse It's up to you to make it work with everything you've got See this life as a gift or a curse Somebody pray for me, they look like prey to me They like prey to me, somebody pray for me I'm staring at my younger self, trapped inside another hell I'm staring at my current self, trapped inside another hell I'm staring at my older self, trapped inside another hell Trapped inside another hell, trapped inside another hell Somebody pray for me
