Disconnected
Fuck you
I play to win
You think you can break me
But you didn't create me
So fuck you
I play to win
You think you can fake me
But you can’t imitate me
So fuck you
In the devil's eyes
I see my reflection
Trapped in this game
There is no escape
But I won’t play
I will not be infected
I am disconnected
Slave to my sin
I can never win
So let the pain begin
Lost in this war
That never ends
Forever endless struggle
One day you'll feel my pain
I'm disconnected

Judas

You've become
Everything that you hate
All for the sake
Of a payday
And a shot at the ring
Fucking whore
Just a slave to the scene
Shoveling death in your veins
Your vision blurred by your envy
I've had enough
What will it take for you to see what I see
Want you to know right now
I hope you fucking die
You self-important whores
And your so called lives
You’re tearing at my throat
Your mouth is open wide
But what is crawling to
Someone that has no spine?
I gave it all yet you crawl
Beg for death like a dog
On the streets
On your knees
Like a viral disease
If it’s a cleansing you seek
I have the fix that you need
Choke on this fucking blood
I gave with so much pride
And with my dying breath
I’ll spit it in your eyes
You try to take my life?
You’ll fucking fail
Cuz you can never kill
What can not fucking die
There’s no forgiving
A life lost, not worth living

Vultures
Circling this rotting flesh
Haunted lay death
Preying on the weak
You cannot see
This sleeping giant awakens in me
I'll tear your fucking heart out
You wanted blood
Thought you'd bring on the flood
Now I'm the only one
Left standing
The devils laughing at me
Waiting for his taste
I won't make it easy
He'll have to wait another day to feast
You're no match for the beast
I did my time
Now I'll take what's mine
Feel my pain
Try to end my reign
Not today
Vultures all around me.

Haunted

From the moment I wake I am haunted
By the decisions I make
Every step that I take
Every choice that I make
Just another mistake
Bullshit accusations
All the fears in your head
But it’s you who turns on
Yourself in the end
So fuck it all
Another night
Another fight
It’s just the way that it is
So go on about how I prey on the weak
When i found your lifeless body
Layin' dead in the streets
I extended my hand
Gave you your only friend
Brought you back to life
This is the thanks that I get
Run your mouth with false promises
And make empty threats
Forget your fucking place and take for granted
Everything that I gave
Lie to myself
Say it’s only a rut
Keep my head down
And continue to strut
Align the ones and zeroes
But they don't add up
Its hard to work the math
With your eyes sewn shut
Brick by brick
I built it all
Brick by brick
I watch it fall

Narrows
I'm not alone If I'm never home
Not alone if I'm never home
All I know is I’m not alone
If I'm never home
There's no wrong tonight's so right
Make you quake in my bed as you scream it’s alright
As she screams it's alright
Its alright
If it's all night
It's alright it's a lie
Declare your love then forget I exist
A pound of flesh to submit to your God "It's a gift"
"it's a gift, Oh my god" What she said "it's a gift"
"it's a gift, what she said just for kicks
You can almost hear the sound
Of her knees
Crashing to the ground
If it's all night
It's all right
If it's all night it's alright it's a lie
Rise to your feet as the symphony reaches crescendo
The sadist is at it again
Getting intimate with friends
Just a number so I'll play the part
Separate the head from the heart.
Just a lover and we knew from the start
Run around Like a drone with no art!
Murderer without a victim
But there's blood on my hands just the same
Go to work on your knees like a beggar
Its better you don't know my name

Slave City
03:07

No one sees me shake
When they turn out the lights
No one hears my screams
In the dead of the night
Left alone to bear the burden
And I've run out of fight
To keep my head up in a struggle
With no end in sight
What else is there to do
When I don't have a choice?
My words fall on deaf ears
Like I have no voice
I won't bury my head
Or pretend that I'm dead
Instead I hit the ground running
Bring the fight till the end
Slave City
You won't break me
You say you hate what I am
But you made me
You try to comprehend
The life that i live
But don't know the choice
And I won't forgive
I won't forgive
Trained to come up on the weak
Just so that I can survive
No remorse in these eyes.
I'll live it up till I die
No remorse in these eyes.
I'll live it up till I die
Fuck you
You think you know the story
You've heard it all before
Don't mean you know me.
Come at me with your hands out
Act like you're a friend
But you're a fuckin' fake
And I know it.
You wanna talk about scars?
I got em.
Ain't got a problem
Comin' up from the bottom
I'm not stoppin'
Drowning In Filth
I'll claw my way to the top
Get out the way
Cuz I'm comin' through
Slave City
You won't break me
You hate the man that I am
And Forsake me
Refuse to comprehend
The love that I lack
But now the child is dead
Now I can't go back
Aids City
Keepin' shit gritty
Haters gonna hate
But I'ma stay pretty
Hate City
Oh what a pity
Another sucker slain
By the plague of mediocrity

So tired of living this hell
Every day a sentence
My mind is the cell
Expectations
I'm forced to excel
Though I never asked
To compare
To anyone else
1 by 1
On we march
Suffer the loss at the will Of a tyrant
Spike a vein
Just to numb the pain
But the wound never heals
Lose my name
For your own gain
Crushed by the will of the loveless
Swallow my pride
All of my life
So you can make a dime
But in my dreams on your knees
As I watch you die
Forcing a smile choke on denile
I've Become a slave
Just a means to an end
With No fucking name
Trapped in a world so cold
That I no longer feel alive
Watch you grow fat on the throne
While I fight to survive
Sold on a dream that was all
Just a fucking lie
A casualty of your greed
I will not abide!
Coward
You judge your worth by a means
That doesn't mean a thing
When you've seen what I've seen
1 by 1
On we March
Into the slaughter
Without name
Unashamed
Crush his will
And reclaim what is ours
The king is fucking dead
So ready his head for display
And rejoice at the fall of a tyrant
Dance the dance of a dead man

Better Off Dead

You look at me like
A fucking disease you can treat
You're so sure that
There's still good left in me
Why can't you see what I see
My hate is real
There's no cure and
There's just no saving me
But every time I turn my head
You're right there waiting with your hands out
This time you've asked too much
Can't you see I was born to let you down
Better Off Dead
Everyday is the same
It’s like a fucking game
I keep my head above ground
Until my time fades
The same game played until I find my way
I'd rather die alone than live my life in shame.
I live my life my own way
No regrets and I know I've made mistakes
Expectations I am meant to fail
But fuck you
Who are you
To tell me who I'm meant to be
Consider this an act of war
I Turn my back on your world
And Find my own strength
I am who I am and I'll Do what I can
Better off dead.

Un jour de plus
À defier la réalité
Un genou à terre mais la tete haute
Un jour de plus
Même dans la douleur la survie, garde
Force et honneur
Un jour de plus / j'dois rester calme à garder la tete froide
Incarcéré dans leur système
Un jour de plus / à Côtoyé la réalité, pression, dépression, ennemis
Garder la force / garder l'honneur
Repasser la torche
Comme nos prédécesseurs
Je n'ai rien à perdre, j n'attends rien d personne
Je n'ai rien à prouver /
Un jour de plus
À defier la réalité
Un genou à terre mais la tete haute
Un jour de plus
Même dans la douleur la survie, garde
Force et honneur
J'attends d'personne / je fais ma vie
Combats l'ignorance /Je pense donc je suis
Défends ta vie, défend ton âme
Respect les codes fait vivre cette flamme
N'aille pas peur d'affronter / la bête noire droit dans les yeux

Matriarchs Los Angeles, California
After cutting their teeth on the local hardcore scenes of Los Angeles, New York, and Paris, founders Ben Levi and Richard Barthel formed MATRIARCHS on the idea that they could fuse together the visual aesthetic of more thought provoking heavy acts like Tool or Converge with the sonic ferocity and energy of hardcore. Featuring ex-members of well-known bands like Hoods, Ruckus, and The Faceless, ... more
