Hangin' on - I Am Abomination

Word is not bond.

Not a handshake proven true

Lured to the table with the promise of prosper, I bought in

They say that you hold what it takes.

That say that you have it

Flashing the world in your face.

They want you to reach out and grab it all

A pen in our hands, Our backs against the wall

We are the product

We are the work horse

Simply the copies of copies filed with no remorse

They’ll rip the promise from the pages

Don’t sign your life away

Take me back to the day when I could easily say that persistance and devotion

would pave my way

Oppressor, enforcer, how could you?

Your machine is fueled by all our youth

So go ahead and sell 'em somethin' to gaze upon

I’m not done, So fuck you I’m hangin' on

Blatant perjury, despite what they told me

Shame on me for being young and naive

Shame on you for taking advantage of me

Well how can the Fight be considered a Good one if both the opponents just lose

in the long run

Lose it all

A pen in your hand.

Your back against the wall

We are the product

We are the work horse

Simply the copies of copies filed with no remorse

They’ll rip the promise from the pages

Don’t sign your life away

Take me back to the day when I could easily say that persistance and devotion

would pave my way

Oppressor, enforcer, how could you?

Your machine is fueled by all our youth

So go ahead and sell 'em somethin' to gaze upon

I’m not done, So fuck you I’m hangin' on

Sign right here for success

Don’t forget to cross your T’s and dot your I’s

Relinquish your rights

How does one see with eyes so green?

This illusion of partnership dictates a dismal reality

They’ll rip the promise from the pages

Don’t sign your life away

Take me back to the day when I could easily say that persistance and devotion

would pave my way

Oppressor, enforcer, how could you?

Your machine is fueled by all our youth

So go ahead and sell 'em something to gaze upon

It’s all you’re depending on
