I can’t believe in someone
That stands back and watches children die
And that brings cancer into our lives
And if he exists, he’s your God, and not mine
These lips are sealed no more
If this is your work, you have really fucked up
Millions have died to protect what’s right
That’s what they believed and it’s just not right
The scripts that show your work and boast of a return
Well they’re all false
Just like your presence around this world
Prove to us that I am wrong
That thing you believe in is a knock off God
That thing you believe in is a knock off God
Burn every book with a controlling man in the sky
Maybe that will slow down the spreading of lies
Burn every book with a controlling man in the sky
It’s got to that point so control your own life
Supposed to be a copy of you
And I guess that explains all the evil that consumes this place we call our home
I refuse to believe your existence to save my own
Supposed to be a copy of you
And I guess that explains all the evil that consumes this place we call our home
I refuse to believe your existence to save my own
(To save my own)
Parasitic thoughts just don’t belong
Knew it was all lies all along
No longer care to bite my tongue
That thing you believe in is a knock off God
That thing you believe in is a knock off God
That thing you believe in is a knock off God

Subliminal messages force fed
Overindulge until you're dead
Do you believe in their lies?
Do you believe in their magic?
Subliminal messages force fed
Overindulge until you're dead
I must confess
It's time I got this off my chest
Express with every breath
Until there's not one left
Never accept
They're just the blessings of a jester that we must reject
That we must protest
I must resist
It's time I took this on the chin
How ignorance is bliss
How hard the truth still hits
I will admit
I am obsessed with a feeling that does not exist
That I must resist
I will admit
I am obsessed with a feeling that does not exist
That I can’t resist
Don't think
Self destructive
I'm in the storm with an umbrella being taken
So lost
Not productive
Left the shores to find north without a compass
Fuck this
I'm going in
Raising fists and starting pits
And causing havoc like a hurricane
Fuck this
I'm going in
Bringing mayhem in the mist
And causing havoc like a hurricane
Do you believe in their lies?
Do you believe in their magic?
Subliminal messages force fed
Overindulge until you're dead
Do you believe in their lies?
Do you believe in their magic?
Subliminal messages force fed
Overindulge until you're dead
Lined up like a gun to my head
Better pull the fucking trigger and make this floor red
Lined up like a gun to my head, Better pull the fucking trigger
I’d rather be dead
In their lies
In their magic
In their lies
In their magic
Do you believe in their lies?
Do you believe in their magic?
Do you believe in their lies?
Do you believe in their magic?
Subliminal messages force fed
Overindulge until you're dead

So filled with evil, and no way to set it free.
No father can take these sins from me.
You’ve got to be a bigger shark to survive these seas.
And I’m like Jaws geez, you can’t survive against me.
Concealed as a prisoner of this brain for an age but today the eagle soars out of the cage.
The tether has frayed the sparks light up the dark.
And Ignite this blast and ride this while it stills last.
I press A to continue.
Failed to see that today the light's on.
Actually, in real life, this file is corrupted.
Self destructive, abrupt and lacking fucks to give.
It’s been a while since I felt this way.
I hope this feeling is here to stay.
(And I hope it’s here to stay because)
Not even gravity can keep me down today.
Dark clouds part the skies.
For the first time in years the suns started to shine.
(Bright lights illuminate the night)
Not even gravity can keep me down today.
Nothing on this continent could knock my confidence at this moment I’m on top of this,
I am done with the monotonous concoctions the shit that needs no introductions.
But how does it function?
How does the mind decide the state of its own insides?
And today it’s on my side, but tomorrow.
I’ll be sinking to the bottom in the high tides.
Not even gravity can keep me down today.
It’s been a while since I felt this way.
I hope this feeling is here to stay.
(And I hope it’s here to stay because)
Not even gravity can keep me down today.
Dark clouds part the skies.
For the first time in years the suns started to shine.
(Bright lights illuminate the night)
Not even gravity can keep me down today.
Not even gravity can keep me down today.
It’s been a while since I felt this way.
I hope this feeling is here to stay.
(And I hope it’s here to stay because)
Not even gravity can keep me down
Dark clouds part the skies.
For the first time in years the suns started to shine.
(Bright lights illuminate the night)
Not even gravity can keep me down today.

(Take it all away from me)
Mind is racing with no slow motion in sight
Superluminal thoughts rush past until the daylight
(Take it all away from me)
Mind is racing with no slow motion in sight
Superluminal thoughts rush past until the daylight
Slow breathing
Start feeling at ease and it’s beating
Starts speeding the feeling of seeking
A meaning is repeating
This drifting mind has started misleading
My mind is getting sick of this
Just too focused on the specifics
It’s like I’m processing hieroglyphics
Now's not the time to be analytical
So that’s why I’m skeptical
That if there is an end
It’s not lined up in my visual
Just keep staring up at the ceiling
Feeling defeated so I dismiss it all
There is no meaning
I just want to turn off at the socket
And rest these eyes this evening
That’s a a façade that I can’t believe in
This mind is seemingly deceitful
Good job
It feels like it is running but it would not seem so today
I feel like this could wait
But I’m not at the wheel of the vessel
So let’s move your way
Good job
It feels like it is running but it would not seem so today
I feel like this could wait
But I’m not at the wheel of the vessel
So let’s move your way
(Take it all away from me)
Mind is racing with no slower motion in sight
Superluminal thoughts rush past until the daylight
(Take it all away from me)
Mind is racing with no slower motion in sight
Superluminal thoughts rush past until the daylight
I’m not
I’m not in control of the one that you know
I’m not
I’m not in control of the one that you know
Slow breathing
Start feeling at ease and it’s beating
Starts speeding the feeling of seeking
A meaning is repeating
This Drifting mind has started misleading
Fast breathing
Don’t feel at ease and it’s beating still speeding the feeling of seeking a meaning is screaming
This mind will take me to the afterlife
(Take it all away from me)
Mind is racing with no slow motion in sight
Superluminal thoughts rush past until the daylight
(Take it all away from me)
Mind is racing with no slow motion in sight
Superluminal thoughts rush past until the daylight

My vision must be failing
Or is this really what I see?
Is this truly what’s going on now if so
Then take these eyes, delete my mind
I will become the night
How the fuck did you end up with the power to control this fate
Decisions that are not yours to make
When you’re clueless on the matter that they are based
You’ve burnt enough now with your greed
We will never surrender we will not give in
Fight this until our knuckles bleed
No white flags raised
You try your best now to mislead
We will never surrender we will not give in
Will fight until our rights are freed
No white flags raised
Relieve me of the burden
Tear out this disease
Is this fake? I’m not so certain anymore
Will never fall to my knees
What happens when there’s no world left to dig?
What happens when armed countries conflict?
What happens when there’s no homes left to give?
When there’s talk but it’s never just honest?
What happens when there’s no more world to dig?
What happens when armed countries conflict?
What happens when there’s no more homes to give?
When there’s talk but it’s never just honest?
Stand straight
Arms raised
We will not surrender
Have faith
Flags blazed
We will not surrender
We will not surrender
We will not surrender
My vision must be failing
Or is this really what I see?
Is this truly what’s going on now if so
No white flags raised
You’ve burnt enough now with your greed
We will never surrender we will not give in
Fight this until our knuckles bleed
No white flags raised
You try your best now to mislead
We will never surrender we will not give in
Will fight until our rights are freed
No white flags raised

Daydreaming beyond belief
Wondering in a haze of your own making
This modern tragedy of your mental faculties inescapably imprisoned by a screen
You are a digital analogy
Bound by the choices you think you've made
Cascade in a cityscape
Farewell to the life you've made escape
New reverie ontology
I am your lucid dream
Ascension serene
And I'm just a memory
Upon a shard in the sky and canopy
It's all that you and I will ever be
Overwhelming me completely
With visions of things that they say I need
This is more than I can take
Farewell to this life I make escape
Sleepwalk into the future
Urban animals running till we are inert
We will never learn with our heads in the clouds we choke until we cease to breathe
New reverie ontology
I am your lucid dream
New reverie ontology
I am your lucid dream
Ascension serene
From the darkest streets to a lucid dream
Hereafter severance from our dependence on prescribed formula
I break free from the world
Interlinked chemicals
Embraced in a fleeting moment
I'm just a memory
Upon a shard in the sky and canopy
It's all that you and I will ever be

Scarred up, this armour's seen a few wars
You will never see me bowing down on all fours
Never see me keeping track of the scores on the doors
Got much bigger fish to fry and none of them are yours
It’s time to get back in your pram and stop chucking your toys
Every word expelled from the lungs is just white noise
Deploys a sense that these words of yours are just void
A gap filler, utter nonsense with emotion of an android
And I ain’t done yet
I’ve got a little bit of fight left
Maybe just a couple more things to get off my chest
Maybe just a couple more things to get off my chest
And I ain’t done yet
I’ve got a fuck tonne of fight left
I mean a war's worth this ain’t a side quest
I’m hitting hard coz every day is still a fucking test
Fuck this, fuck you, fuck all the grief
Fuck this, fuck you, fuck everything
It’s about time that I cut ties
You are every single reason why I want to be alone
Because of you and your fucked lies
I was deceived from day one, now it’s time to suck it up but just say my goodbyes
Supposed to be on the same team, but you’re so against me and now I’m running out of life line
All I’ve ever done is try to please and cater for your needs and I can’t even fulfil mine
Fuck this, fuck you, fuck all the grief
You are nothing more than a smile thief
Fuck this, fuck you, fuck everything
Could have the best hand and still can’t win
And I ain’t done yet
I’ve got a little bit of fight left
Maybe just a couple more things to get off my chest
Maybe just a couple more things to get off my chest
All I’ve ever done is try to please and cater for your needs and I can’t even fulfil mine
All I’ve ever done is try to please and cater for your needs and I can’t even fulfil mine
It’s about time that I cut ties

Supposed to be on the same team, but you’re so against me now I’m running out of life line
All I’ve ever done is try to please and cater for needs and I can’t even fulfil mine
Fuck this, fuck you, fuck all the grief
You are nothing more than a smile thief
Fuck this, fuck you, fuck everything
Could have the best hand and still can’t win
Fuck this, fuck you, fuck all the grief
You are nothing more than a smile thief

What if no one's entitled to happiness
But it doesn’t happen
Like it is supposed to
This brain doesn’t process these thoughts in a good way,
Just filled with the shame, and regret and the blame and forget all change of the positive ways and recharge in a way that’s unhealthy and will leave me astray and I’ll deal with the pain
I am the cause of my rise and my fall and I hide from it all like a ghost
Can’t pass this feeling on to someone else
Especially not my closest so I keep this locked up to myself
Can’t rest, keep tossing and turning
It’s my name that the nightmares are calling
Can’t fall when you’re already falling
Just can’t break the broken
Stabbing in the dark trying to mask what’s going on
I can only take this for so long
Can’t fall when you’re already falling
Just can’t break the broken
Thought I had risen from the bottom, but here I go again
Depths have got my number calling me like an old friend
Relive these wretched ways
And they keep calling me over and over and over again
Can’t rest, keep tossing and turning
It’s my name that the nightmares are calling
Can’t fall when you’re already falling
Just can’t break the broken
Thought I had risen from the bottom, but here I go again
The depths have got my number calling me like an old friend
Relive the wretched ways
And the keep calling me over and over and over again

There’s no escaping this.
There’s no escaping this.
Just don’t remember a thing.
What did I see.
Does this belong to a memory or was it a dream?
Where I’ve never been.
Cut down the tree.
Killing everything you believed in.
Just a digit now.
Burn the bridges down.
Answers can’t be found.
Just a digit now.
Burn the bridges down.
Answers can’t be found.
No air to breathe.
Inside of me is empty.
No air to breathe.
Inside of me is empty.
Brought out the worst in me.
Brought out the worst in me.
Brought out the worst in me.
Brought out the
Never get to be forgotten.
Rotten, hidden at the bottom.
Stopped feeding to the problem.
I cannot see the path that would guide me.
Brought out the worst in me.
Brought out the worst
Never get to be forgotten.
Rotten, hidden at the bottom.
Stopped feeding to the problem.
There’s no escaping this
There’s no escaping this
There’s no escaping this
There’s no escaping this
(No escape, no escape)
There’s no escaping this
(I tried but can't escape, I tried buy can't escape)
There’s no escaping this
Memories creep up sometimes
Appear at the back of my mind
So toxic, but so was I
So toxic, but so was I

Dear Hazel,
First of all, I need to start with an apology
And I know I wasn’t the easiest teen to raise, and I mean it, honestly
And it’s not like I’ve grown to be a lawyer or an engineer
But you say you’re still proud, and that makes me grin like a moron from ear to ear
I would not be half the man I am today without your years of guidance
And if you wanted me to drop the mic for good, I would do in seconds and live in silence
But I know you would never advise that you have influenced me to be the best human that I can be
Even musically, I used to take your Bowie CDs when I was 13, and Pink Floyd too
I could hear familiar songs at the end of our road on the way home from school
It was then I knew you used to borrow my music too, and my friends thought that was rad
And then you showed Sleepy Skeletor to anyone who would give it the time
The neighbours must of thought you was mad, the amount of times I hear you blast it from the kitchen
From your CD system, and I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on this one
Dear Hazel,
You’ve been there while I’ve been in the darkest of places
And I know you’ve had your own number of demons to face with
And I just want you to know that I’m here, and I’m proud of you too
For everything you’ve helped me through, this is an ode to you
To you I dedicate everything, and anything that I achieve
You keep telling me I can do anything as long as I believe in what I do
For everything you help me through, this is an ode to you
No matter what the weather you always seem to bring the sunshine along
You deliver warmth and smiles when I feel that all hope is gone
Through Thick and thin, through old and new
For everything you help me through, this is an ode to you
This is an ode to you
Dear Hazel,
It doesn’t matter you get mind and Kyle’s names mixed up
I know he would be in the club that agrees with everything I have put in this tune
You know it’s true, fuck we’re all proud of you
For everything you helped us through, this is an ode to you
This is an ode to you
Dear Hazel
