No expectations from a pretentious industry No ridiculous rules and meaningless imagery Creating the art we want unshackled by the ravages of mediocrity We are totally free To connect with people on a more personal level Not restricting ourselves to countless false deities Regurgitated for the neuro typical masses Deluded and controlled by popular fashion Fabricated to feel against the grain Delusional outward image of angst and pain Return to the underground Let the music flow up close and personal No smoke and mirrors No fucking filter We dedicate our lives Never faltering Never weakening from external pressures We will never create typical garbage just to make a profit No one will ever tell us what to do Never will we feed you template breakdowns To blend in with the trends or cash in on past glory Every work complete and honest Never just displaying skill with mundane filler Return to the underground Let the music flow up close and personal No smoke and mirrors No fucking filter We put our lives on the line Just for this insatiable need for metal in our lives We will never care about keyboard warriors And their biased magazines
