Scapegoat 04:45
I walk this path alone Alone I might go stray The only thing that drives me Is the fire inside my veins Maze full of prejudice And dumb stereotypes My mind's been violating All these stupid signs I don't care how impossible Or how crazy it seems It's not by their hollow standards How I will judge my deeds So just come and take my hand Don't let the burning scare you I will pay any price To crawl inside your armful You can make me your scapegoat You can call me what you like To deny what makes me Would be to throw my life I never gave up just because Someone told me I had to No matter how it hurts I'm going to see this through
2.
Don't look at me Lost in the outer dark You find your comfort in Your dead made-up gods If it doesn't talk I just cannot relate Yet in your mind it is A strong hope to brace Philosophize And moralize About things That never rise Lean down your head Over your scriptures Who am I to ruin A poor man's rapture? You just make pulp Out of your brain You're worth none more Than my disdain
3.
In between the windy nights And the harsh hailstorms In between the freezing dew And the cold darkfall Deep down I know That's not all there is Somehow I know There's much more than this Search for what eats you inside The root of that itch Find out what stirs you up What makes your eye twitch In between the backstabs Of those you once called friends In between the lost prayers To the gods you once had Deep down I know That's not all there is Somehow I know It cannot be just this Search for what fuels this flame That burns in your gut Raise your eyes over the dirt Look beyond the sun
4.
Give me the Judas' kiss Stab me in the back Feed me your sweet poison Tread all over on my heart Exhaust all your bile I am your means of relief I am but a mere puppet The crash dummy that you need And when my corpse lies lifeless before you I'll rise for the next round Tie me up on the stake Of your self-righteousness Spit on me with contempt Revel on my poor flesh Bathe me with your dirt Brainwash me with your lies Abuse me of all I have Drain out of me all life And when my dignity becomes one with the ground I'll be back for the next round And when I finally feel at home in the dirt I'll be back for the next round You'd think it's over But it's just beginning You'd think that by now You'd've got the best of me Something must've been wrong All of this strain Should've been just enough Couldn't be in vain Well, think again Yea think again Now it's my turn My fucking turn How sweet these pretty eyes Sunk under tears of lies Oh how I love you baby Burning with fury inside The prince has been delayed His white horse starved to death Good luck waiting for the next one Dumb enough to care
5.
It's not your fatal look What sends shivers on my skin It's not your perfect style What gives me an itch within It's not your poetic aura What makes me stare at the stars It's not your imagination What makes my mind wander far Wonder how I can be so damn emotionless? I love it when it's all only about flesh It's not your character What keeps you in my dreaming It's not your genious joking Why I can't stop laughing It's not your firm decisiveness What makes me almost apathetic It's not your great intellect What keeps me contemplating
6.
Quit trying to look superior And hiding behind empty lies Crush your insecurities Get rid of this disguise They say you will go blind If you look straight in the fire It takes a leap of faith To learn to fly even higher Take the game In your own hands Seize the day Grab every chance As the low tide wipes off The last remains of regrets The blinding sun is mocking My fear and restlessness As I cynically laugh at The times I've foolishly wept I guess what's only worth is To live all I've got left Embrace what gives you strength Sever what holds you back You are the only one To be the judge of that They say you will go blind If you look straight in the fire It takes a leap of faith To learn to fly even higher
7.
It feeds off the despair Its stench fills the damn air It cannot be forever Till the whole thing explodes Between talks of pure anger And the long-buried hope One can see through the seams It's fragile like butterfly wings It will not be forever The clouds are closing in It's already been too long that It's been burning from within It's never been so damn near Neither so necessary Throw down the chains And break away Blast through this fog clouding your eyes It feeds off the despair It feeds off the foul air It feeds off the walls you face It feeds off the years of wait
8.
Futile Cause 05:05
Just one more of those days I'm crawling on my back And picking up my pieces Looks such a tedious task It all just feels so vane It all just feels so numb Like living voluntarily In a world concentration camp I'm tired of consuming Myself on a futile cause Never sat well with me To drift where it all flows I wonder if that's what You wanted all along I for one never signed To give up on my soul Tired, beaten and alone Some say it is a price But it's the only road To finally reach the light
9.
Voices 02:54
Don't you feel lost now baby This is not rocket science You just have to hear it backwards To read between the lines Excuses is something You won't hear from me They say it brings out man's lust Along with all the sins They say it calls out beasts From within the abyss The last thing I will try Is to go and deny I only can obey The voices in my head Whatever they say I am I can't say that I'm not tenfold Some call it devil's music Others therapy for the soul I only can obey The voices in my head So just swallow the red pill
10.
Black Angels 05:07
My brain fully reset My pupils dilated A clarity now rules My heart is wildly racing Tired of authorities On how to live one's life My one and only gospel Are the depths of my mind Black angels fly in mid-air They've come to spread the word The prison you embrace I have longed to escape I'd rather fall to die Than give it one more day Maybe a dark will drives me Maybe I'm on my own It is just fine with me As long as it lights the road Black angels are calling me They've come to set me free It is not what you dream It is what you can reach You're never going to lure me With empty wishful thinking I have no fucking answers Nor any enlightenment My sun rises and sets Welcoming a sweet end
11.
Invisible 07:01
Brave words of conviction A fist always clenching Talk of revolution A flame that felt neverending Love placed in wrong arms Faith placed in wrong beliefs By a misplaced need inside To do the right thing It's starting to feel scary That at times I feel I've lost That faint twitch behind my eye That always made me go on Until two piercing eyes That could help satisfy That native need to share Whatever abyss I hide inside I've never dared to tell myself That lately all I really need Is to just stay here and close my eyes Invisible to all existence I don't think I've ever dared to tell you I don't know how much you do know Or if I'm just lying here unseen Invisible to all existence

about

Due to circumstances beyond our control, as of the summer of 2015, Lifestock have unfortunately entered a state of hiatus. This is the album we just managed to complete. Unless the tides turn in an extraordinary manner sometime in the future, this is also Lifestock's swansong. Feel free to download, share, distribute and do whatever you want with it; but, most importantly, play loud and enjoy.
We want to thank all the people that supported us in any way, enjoyed our music, cheered for us on our shows and all the bands we shared the stage with. See you around \m/
