And it was… Sextabulous, Drugtastic Barely legal and wrapped in plastic Uncensored, never before seen Jump on the wagon You can live in my dream of Synthetic Smiles and chemical love Well you can stitch yourself to the seam Go on and fuck yourself The Media sells it Sexdrugs, sexdrugs and bloodplay Cause you can be all the you can be Sexdrugs, sexdrugs and bloodplay Right now your everything to me Religious conspiracy Bow to me, fear me I'm a God loaded rifle Blood, bullets, and the holy ghost Heres a toast of champagne to band-aids It's fine to feel this way The pill bottle shares my name Synthetic Smiles and chemical love Well you can stitch yourself to the seam Go on and fuck yourself The media sells it
3.	Revolt 03:27	lyrics	buy track
I… I feel stuck Rock and a hard place I'd love to just complain But I feel the words are just Pissed away into the air I feel that Ive been pushed Pushed and been pushed Pushed and been pushed Now it is time to push back Revolt! Destroy! Why won't you Revolt! Destroy! Stand up and Revolt! Destroy! Why won't you Revolt! I… I feel that I have been lied to And I have been slighted Right about now I am getting damn tired Hey! Fuck the government Hey! Your already raped I can't take this I can't take this I can't take this Now It is time to push back I can't seem to find my way out…
4.	Nothing Now 04:59	lyrics	buy track
I wrote my name on my hit list As the blood drips from my wrist Take me now god grant my wish I am nothing now… I have a scar deep in my soul You hold the knife you made the hole It will not heal, won’t go away I am nothing now… I thought you cared yeah, I didn’t see You lied when you said… I thought you cared yeah, I didn’t see You lied when you said you’d be there for me! I take a pill and drift away I return to an earlier day When everything was okay I was something then… Something went wrong well something changed My fucking world was rearranged And left me feeling so deranged I cannot comprehend… There is a place that is unknown A place not made of flesh or bone This is the place i call my own My home away from hell I hide the footprints so i cant go back Want to forget the self attacks How my fragile mind was cracked I’ll erase my past...
5.	Scars and Flowers 04:43	lyrics	buy track
Blast this waste land cross my wall Nothing I would miss at all Prop me up and watch me fall Gotta fuck it all up Fuck it up, fuck it up, fuck it up, fuck it up, fuck it up… Douse myself in gasoline Taunt myself to end this dream Even the worms need to feed I keep me here to watch me bleed Dress myself in women’s clothes Im better at fucking myself… Strap! Strap me down Fuck me up Vinegar in every cut Spine is warped and nothing grows I coughed up maggots from my soul I never learned whens enough… I never learned whens enough… And if we die tonight we die alive If we die tonight we die alive Lost inside a pool of her eyes If we die tonight we die alive Shoot! Shoot me up Bring me down Pretty nothings dance around Rot away, embrace decay All hope died yesterday... I used to believe in god above I used to believe in love! I used to believe in god above Now all I believe is if we... Die tonight we die alive If we die tonight we die alive Lost inside a pool of her eyes If we die tonight we die alive Pretty Scars and Flowers Pretty, pretty me Pretty, pretty nothing Nothing left to see... Im already dead today Im already dead.. Im already dead today Im already dead..
6.	Violence is Golden 04:22	lyrics	buy track
It started with a match It started with a wish I wanted every piece of this Far fucked and over-rated Carving smiles ‘cause we lost our own Already on to our next abortion Crippled, sick, and all alone World in my hands Hands on my back The truth is slipping through the cracks World in my hands Hands on my back I’m letting go to watch it smash! Hey! Violence is golden Abuse is control I thought I found a savior Just another hole Hey! Violence is golden Ignorance bliss Well I found the answer In my fist It started with a push It ended with a stitch I thought I would have killed for this Dumbed down and manipulated Passenger to my own demise Dipped out and irritated I burn myself because my bridges are gone Feed the fire! Take me higher! Kiss the liar!
7.	Adrenochrome 04:21	lyrics	buy track
Quick cash Your nothing but meat A liar, a cheat My dis-pleasure to meet you Relax Admit defeat You disease, you leach I’m glad to delete you! And all the things that you told me So hard to swallow You know the things you want from me You’re feeling hollow And all the lies to set you free have chains that follow You know just what you want from me You’re feeling hollow Stand by what’s left in your name It got you this far Blend into the stairs now You’re life is nothing but shame Yourself is to blame Don’t stand in my way now Break bread with your ego Guilt builds your home Make love to manipulation White lies through marionettes Know your alone Adopting enemies Adrenochrome Adreno… Adreno… Adrenochrome!
8.	Spite 04:16	lyrics	buy track
Gag it up you’re worthless now As ugly inside as out Paint your face to hide the shame Does your father even know your name? Liar, Monster, Waisted youth A friend of thieves and prostitutes You parasite, you waste of life Botched abortion, cast aside Jealous junkie, attention starved Go ahead and carve your arms Imitator Manipulator User, Filth, Disgrace and Whore! Manipulate yourself a home She should know it’s always been a lie Know that you will die alone I prey these words will crush you from inside
9.	For the Kids 04:08	lyrics	buy track
It’s for the kids They want to be stupid like me It’s for the kids They wanna be worthless like me It’s for the kids They wanna be dosed like me It’s for the kids They wanna be empty like me Let’s dumb ‘em down down down It’s for the kids And they will die, they will cry, we’ll know next time It’s for the kids It’s for the kids They want to be loved like me It’s for the kids They wanna get fucked like me It’s for the kids The wanna be high as me It’s for the kids They wanna play God like me Bridge Heartbeat popping Faith is dropping Someone catch me before I fall Feeling hopeless Lost and homeless Someone catch me before I fall I am God, You are nothing Out of my way I want it all! I am worthless Have no purpose Someone catch me before I fall
10.	Bleed 04:08	lyrics	buy track
You peel the skin off your face The definition of waste Regurgitated and recycled for our mass consumption I never knew you for trash The throat of trust you have slashed And now the hate has me awake in time for mass destruction Why don't you fuck me? Why don't you fuck me? Why don't you fuck me over just once more? Your lips are razor blades Your lips are razor blades Your lips are razor blades, I'm carved up and scorn Walked in here stomping on eggshells Wanna see you cry Let you feel How it felt How it felt inside Face away, here comes the knife You can bleed like me... And you can bleed like me The heart stops beating in sync As I digest the the disease I'm feeling sleazy, feeling queasy bleeding to the beat Smear in the dirt and the grit Reduced to nothing but shit Now bones are broken and this world seems so incomplete Why don't you fuck me? Why don't you fuck me? Why don't you fuck me over just once more? Your lips are razor blades Your lips are razor blades Your lips are razor blades, I'm carved up and scorned
11.	Rage 03:29	lyrics	buy track
Rage! Comes coursing through my Veins! And I can not ex- Plain! This hate for me Everything just needs to stop! I Just Try To Kill A Way The Pain! And it keeps coming back Everything just needs to stop! I cover up my eyes Cover up my ears What I never know I cannot fear And I Burn Bridges! To keep me Warm! And All I'm Bleeding! Is nothing but I'm all the things you want All the things you need What you'll never know I'm your disease And all my wishes For nothing more Self defeating And fueling my Why is this happening? Why is this happening? Why is this happening? Why is this happening?
12.	Fall Apart 04:07	lyrics	buy track
My TV view on life's not real The channel changes I still cant feel I've been used, abused, too confused Tell me this is what I choose To loose? I would have lost even if i tried Your train wreck bearing Im not staring Force your tune out of my head Listen to the records of what once was Chorus chokes me till I'm dead I will always fall apart I cannot fix this broken heart Flickered out I'm in the dark I will be torn apart Red handed and I'm forced to fight Try to force it out of sight I've been crashed smashed broken bashed Crucified than burned down to ash Was gold now I'm just your trash
13.	gODGASM 04:09	lyrics	buy track
Catatonic Feel robotic Isolated Faceless, jaded Not an ounce of life left safe from shit thats shaped me We all have the best of intentions They just always end diluted... I can't See the Way out… I can't See the Way out… Complicated Feeling hated Double-crossed Humiliated Not an ounce of hope is left And none of us innocent We know not to pick at the stitches That's all we ever want to do And if I let you in my world You'll run away from me I'll strike revenge This fucking world has took it's toll on me! Liar, liar Life on fire Push away What you desire Loosing touch with all thats real Ambivalent, and ignorant We know not to play with fire Sometime's it's all we have to stay warm My every words, my thoughts, my dreams lie in dichotomies I'll strike revenge, My fucking head has took it's toll on me Right now I'm God! This world is mine! I'll watch it BURN!!!

about

Generation Empty Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Formed in 2008 in Philadelphia, PA, Generation Empty stands a singular force, demanding a revolution in a jaded world that has been intellectually deteriorated by chemical lobotomies and social apathy. Originally prescribed as an industrial rock hybrid, Generation Empty experiments with shots of sleazy blues riffs, hits of brutal metal beats, and overdoses of assorted electronic influences. ... more
