lyrics

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

about

Matriarchs image

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
