Separate 01:52
Everytime i read it never fucking surprises me Same old shit with different names The arrogance of a nation we think we’re so right Seeing opportunity in every single fight Oh god here we go again Make the same mistake that we never learn from Time and time again we watch the bloodshed that distracts us from the lies So go ahead sit and contemplate This whole shitty world just makes me want to separate Powerless to stop it world war 3 Why are we blind to our history Seem to believe we’re the bastions to freedom But even politicians are slaves to the system Bad luck maybe we’ll make it next time All evidence points to the end of the line Clap and cheer as our world disappears It will forget we were here anyway

Looking for answers in all the wrong places When I look out on a crowd all I see is jaded faces We’re all content to follow in line forever asking why We do the things we do but we’ll do them till we die We never learn from our mistakes we’re just nothing going nowhere it will always be the same Stumbling down the path to our destruction One by one we’ll fall to the side My Face Is MELTING Looking for answers in all the wrong places When I look out on a crowd all I see is jaded faces We’re all content to follow in line forever asking why We do the things we do but we’ll do them till we die Watch every word you say your every move is on display Don’t talk back don’t step out of line Don’t be you and you’ll be fine Never have dreams they will soon fade away My Face IIIISSSSSS MELTINGGGGG

He comes at me with the strike of a hand Taking out his anger just a frightened little man I’ll play my part and stay by his side He won’t see it coming when i bite back Bite the hand Just to him im another thing Thinking he controls me pulling my string Won’t think when he whacks me a mile Behind his back i always smile Bite the hand All i want is love and affection But all he gets is my teeth in his direction As we fight i know im greater I am the alpha and he is the omega Bite the hand!

Light 03:38
All it takes is a spark of an idea To send us on the path to make the darkness disappear We need to break these walls and gain back control from the ones who are feeding on our souls One by one we march to the drum making life easy for the 1% So love one another stand up for this place We can be more than just a warring race I’m just looking for some light my friend Cus I can feel the darkness closing in I’m just looking for some light my friend Cus all i see is the end but we can stop and change this place And we all want to belong But we can’t all sing another's song Find your path and have faith in you Change will come when you walk down it Think for yourself don’t do what others tell you to do Stand up tall and wear a smile you are you don’t let them defile I’m just looking for some light my friend Cus I can feel the darkness closing in I’m just looking for some light my friend Cus all i see is the end but we can stop and change this fucking place FUCK IT break the cage Stand up and say you can’t believe their shit walk your path and have confidence in it Then you’ll see the change Look them in the eyes and say I’m not your pawn So believe in yourself and hope that this world’s not too far gone to turn it around Cus it could be so much more if we showed light instead of darkness It’ll open up doors To our mind and look deep inside might seem scary but we’ll come out on top And this change begins and ends with you

Storm it starts and never goes away Hanging on the line that stops you going insane But once in a while you dip your toe in and you come out sporting a devilish grin System tells you what to think and what to buy and never stop to ask why Break the mold hold your chains and change the world with your devilish ways Jump right in it feels so fresh flow free like the water no more no less Cus you can stagnate when surrounded by hate bombarded by ads to masticate We’re all sexualised in their eyes easiest emotion to monopolise When we will see we need to break free Change our ways and be who we’re supposed to be So find a way to break the mold express yourself release the fold Explore and find that feeling inside nurture and become mesmerised By what you can be when you truly break free more than human more than we perceive Don’t be the puppet on a string get yourself into your thing

Some days it’s a struggle just to get out of bed Get stuck in the prison that I’ve built inside my head Can’t find any answers to the questions I’ve asked Can’t find motivation for the simplest tasks I know it’s a sickness and it won’t heal itself And people say we should embrace mental health But all I see are tired cliches and self diagnosis So i slap on a smile and hope that no one will notice I’m fucked in the head Worst part is I fully understand what is wrong But instead of making changes I just write these stupid songs I guess my excuse is this is my therapy Get it down get it out get back to being free Spew some bile for a while cus it’s better out than in This shit is cathartic DIY counselling So if you feel the same then I’m glad that you came So you can witness my shame And realise we’re all We’re fucked in the head We’re all fucked in the head and there's nothing wrong with that It’s just human nature to feel like a twat I’m not being critical I’m just hyper cynical Cus no brain is perfect and that’s what makes us beautiful So celebrate the dark days, they make way for the light We’re all in this together to help each other fight We’re all fucked in the head And there’s nothing wrong with that So when you’re feeling low take solace in the fact that we’re all We’re all fucked in the head

Confetti 03:21
This world is so desensitized You can't see reality through bleeding eyes They tell us what we need to buy We never question why Plastered on the screen We see the nameless faces All designed to make us complacent Coz by nature we're all escapists Consuming the things that they constantly feed us Beautiful places and perfect people With the filters and the photoshop we can't see the evil What do they have to give? Except to perpetuate a vapid culture I can't see through all the blood in my eyes Pus and sweat have become one It's formed a crust around my brain It's making me insane It's all just confetti Blowing in the wind Part of a game that you know you'll never win Fake news, fake boobs, fake emotions, fake truths It all means nothing til we realise we all lose It's all put in place to make us believe This world that we live in is as bright as can be It's not, It's a scam, we don't love our fellow man The world is grey, it ain't just black and white This world is so desensitized You can't see reality through bleeding eyes It's formed a crust around my brain It's making me insane

Seed 02:59
Feelings of regret seem to permeate inside my mind The drink and the drugs won't make me feel fine Looking for something Can't put my finger on it Locked up inside Finding my way through the darkness without a light So i push deeper inside where the colours don't divide To the meaning of this thing, this beauty called life I find my way to the tree why can’t i let it be Feeling pulled by the roots I've planted the seed A search for a vision is the thing that I'm missing A new idea, a way out of here, But is it progress that I fear? A fear of the unknown I lack trust for myself to not self destruct and open the path I stretch for that light but it just keeps on going Is this my path? Well there's no way of knowing So I sit at the tree And just let it be My shadow comes to show me Show me the top and I'll show you the roots It's better down here, we get all the fruits The summer's long and the winter's hard But I'll get right back To the top and we'll see that sun Share those fruits with everyone And watch as the garden grows And hope the sun never sets Plant the seed Just let it be Embrace the unknown And let the colours flow

The Fall 01:20
Something's coming over me The Fall of this world is an inevitability And onto our knees we fall To crawl into the wasteland looking for a helping hand But nothing ever comes Crawl forever bugs on a tether What’s meaningful has lost it’s way in this game we play Instant satisfaction is what we want Can’t we see that we can be so much more than this But we live in ignorance doing what others say Just waiting for The Fall Stand by, let’s watch this fucker burn Calm down, we’ll all get our turn Look out, this world is turning grey We wait, for a brand new day The Fall
