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

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 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

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
9.
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
10.
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

about

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
