Section 13 Lyrics - Epidemic

Hammering pulse pumps blood of fear 

Gut centered dread 

Now builds inside of me 

Conceal the crime, is it worn on my 

Face 

To cross the border free 

Cornered and trapped, secret 

Revealed 

Cold press of chains 

Wrapped around my wrist 

Mind sinking, flooded with fear 

Captive alone to an unknown future 

Why? 

My action I wish I could deny 

Tension to flood awaiting trial 

Feel the panicked regret 

Drowning my mind 

Deny my fate, oppression 

Strengthened 

Manipulate and overcome, 

Await no longer 

Status down, section 13 

Commanding sacrifice 

Frreak parade, well past insanity 

Life of the old machine 

Bury pain, shoving, nonexistent 

Will to surpass is reigning power 

Constant watch, guarded and caged 

Living day to day 

Broken feet, broken will 

The beatings numb my frozen mind 

Example set, freedom denied 

Plotting escape of these four walls 

Prison life, kept below 

Reaching the end I snap and 

Overthrow 

Fifty three days turned into forever 

Endless solitude 

Status revoked, from a man to a slave 

The dawn of my decay 

Deterrent, in human form 

I rot for all to see in misery 

Controlled by a force still unknown 

For a gram of the black 

I'm imprisoned a lifetime 

Attempting escape, all hope set to 

Rise 

Snatched from my mind 

In one swift motion 

Scapegoat conceived, precedent set 

Feelings of safety fade 

Submit and die, against my will 

Discipline, lock down, 

Endure this punishment 

Backstabbing pigs, pushing me further 

Rip the tongue from my mouth 

Beat and tear the animal is born 

Will to live 

Strength will give 

Now I'm free 

They can't hold me
