Bursting at the seams
Always the enemy
And I will escape out this place by any means
I'm keen to do the best I can
Its a façade, embedded issues deep within the system
Forced awake the beast that rests.
Attacks at random, so place your bets
Place your bets
Keen to be the best I can
So I mask all emotions, I am heartless like the tin man
I can’t be alone in here
Destructive thoughts they run me
Got to delete this fear
Or delete everything all at once
I'm gonna burn this palace down
Dethrone the leader
Destroy the crown
I'm gonna burn this palace down
Dethrone the leader
Destroy the crown
Fought through the trenches hard just to get here
Battle further just to survive
Can’t keep afloat when the future is not clear
It reminds me just how it feels to be alive
I can’t be alone in here
Destructive thoughts they run me
Got to delete this fear
Or delete everything all at once
I'm gonna burn this palace down
Dethrone the leader
Destroy the crown
I'm gonna burn this palace down
Dethrone the leader
Destroy the crown
Fought through the trenches hard just to get here
Gotta keep afloat when the future is not clear
Destroy the crown

Not taking the same old similes
Oh please motherfucker no time for these
(Do not applaud, the story's unraveling
We are never settling were always battling)
This is my curse, but it's not the worst
My curse, now it sounds perverse
(But we mean every lyric
With a full guarantee that they are the sickest)
No need for your god as a witness
Blistering from the sight of forgiveness
(This is none of your business
See now this is how we exist)
Chatting about how they remember the day
There's not enough time and how we fade away
(But that's bullshit) We are here to stay
We are here to stay
Descending down into the madness
(Get back can you hear the change
Step back or you face the rage)
Repelled like matching poles of magnets
Still falling down
(Still falling)
Round two starts now it has been deemed
Still bringing bars like you can't believe
(Shaking the earth even on the verse
Because we are here to make the sound first)
We're on top of this, you can't stop this shit
What we need's another hypothesis
(I'm quite confident of the consequence because)
(We will not fail)
(We will not fail)
Prevailing the path we've always intended
No changing no alternative ending
No fucking pretending
Roll the credits now coz this scene is over
Descending down into the madness
(Get back can you hear the change
Step back or you face the rage)
Repelled like matching poles of magnets
Still falling down
(Still falling)
Descending down into the madness
Repelled like matching poles of magnets
Get back can you hear the change
Step back or you face the rage
Step back or you face the rage
Get back can you hear the change
Coz we will not fail
We will not fail

Half Empty
04:10
|

Reflecting back to the future we see in our eyes
But the sun eclipsed, black soaks the skies
I trusted you when you said you'd grow old with me
I had to tear you out my soul is half empty
Wasted many a night,
With no vision I'm just staring up
Thinking back to the past I wondered if I cared enough
There were holes in the deck before we cast off
The cocktail was shaken and will explode like a Molotov
The warning signs are everywhere
And with time they only worsened
I suppose I'll never know if these actions were on purpose
But don't think it was an impact when in fact you have not scratched the surface
Trust when I say I've seen the darkness,
I've lived there reveal our deepest secrets, let's compare
There are marks that you can't see
And some that are blind to me
Hand me a shovel I'll dig myself out
The painted smile on my face to cover what I've felt
It's a parasite that lurks in me
I've got to get it out
I trusted you when you said you'd grow old with me
I had to tear you out and now I'm standing half empty
(Though the despair on my face is cracking)
I trusted you when you said you'd grow old with me
(Though the despair on my face is cracking)
I had to tear you out and now I'm standing half empty
Can you hear the silence, is it comfortable where the wise live?
Will you ever repeat the words of "yes I'm fine?"
No repeats this time,
I'm hitting back at the remedy temporarily,
An elegantly named identity for everything that's said,
And the words that we won't keep you tried hard to crack this head, and you want empathy?
I'm constantly doubting, the worst critic of my own design.
And I decline the right to be silent or just abide
Hold tight, because I'm packed full of surprises
But the only ones that matter are the ones that survive this
Wasted many a night,
With no vision I'm just staring up
Thinking back to the past I wondered if I cared enough
I trusted you when you said you'd grow old with me
I had to tear you out and now I'm standing half empty
I trusted you when you said you'd grow old with me
I had to tear you out and now I'm standing half empty
(I've got to get it out)
I trusted you when you said you'd grow old with me
(Deepest secrets)
I had to tear you out and now I'm standing half empty
(Blind me)
I trusted you when you said you'd grow old with me
(Smile on my face to cover what I've felt)
I had to tear you out and now I'm standing half empty
(I've got to get it out)
Can you hear the silence, is it comfortable where the wise live?
Will you ever repeat the words of "yes I'm fine?"

Nasty!
Not even shipman could write it this sick
This is the measuring stick,
A league of thieves and cheats
This rhyme is now a PG
Certified as oh please
Feel free to disagree
But this burnt to the 3rd degree
One day now you will witness
You think that you are displaced?
So filled with hate and sickness
You were a massive mistake
Smash in the face
It's gone too far
And I will get you back
My blood vessels burst
As I scream and curse
What have we become
What have we all done
This is my backlash
My blood vessels burst
As I scream and curse
I will get you back
This is my backlash
Take your halo and smash it to the ground
Let the tears fall down
What you felt for me
Cut the throat it bleeds
We all fall down like
What you felt for me
Cut the throat it bleeds
We all fall down like
My blood vessels burst
As I scream and curse
What have we become
What have we all done
This is my backlash
My blood vessels burst
As I scream and curse
I will get you back
After all you have done
This is my backlash
I will get you back
Get you back
Get you back
And you can't hide
All your wasted pride
Now's the time
Are you really alive?
(And you can't hide)
And you can't hide
All your wasted pride
Now's the time
Are you really alive?
Stare up at the picture on the shelf
Let the tears fall down
You can't hide
Your wasted pride
Now's the time
And you can't run
You can't hide
Your wasted pride
Now's the time
Are you really alive?
Cut the throat it bleeds
Cut the throat it bleeds
Cut the throat it bleeds
My blood vessels burst
As I scream and curse
What have we become
What have we all done
This is my backlash
My blood vessels burst
As I scream and curse
I will get you back
After all you have done
This is my backlash

Pack Animals
02:55
|

We run ravenous, like animals of a pack
And when one falls we clench our fists tight and fight back
Tear the system up
Tear it up
Tear the system up
Now fucking explode
Tear the system up
Tear it up
Tear the system up
We’re here to make some noise!
And not compete in a fashion show
Give less shits about your looks and let the passion flow
But Don't you know?
We're here to kick the riot off
The plane has hit the sky
But the pilots lost the fucking plot
And can't be stopped
Start work so early
But this evenings just begun
So we’ll roll in yawning in the morning
Right now we must slam back shot
After shot after shot after shot
And don’t regret a thing
Until you wake up
And I am on Cloud 9
But just like Icarus, I’ll fall from this height to my own demise
Watch me fall from the sky
We run ravenous, like animals of a pack
And when one falls we clench our fists tight and fight back
Start work so early
But this evenings just begun
So we’ll roll in yawning in the morning
Right now we must slam back shot
After shot after shot after shot
And don’t regret a thing
Until you wake up
Til you wake up
Don't regret a thing
Until you wake up
Until you wake up
Don't regret a thing
Until you wake up
And I am on Cloud 9
We run ravenous, like animals of a pack
And when one falls we clench our fists tight and fight back
Now fucking explode
Tear the system up
Tear it up
Tear the system up
We're here to make some noise
We run ravenous, like animals of a pack
And when one falls we clench our fists tight and fight back
We run ravenous, like animals of a pack
And when one falls we clench our fists tight and fight back

Paralysed
04:20
|
|||
Don't hold back
These nightmares they paralyse me
And I can barely scream
Out loud, out proud, don't know how I got here
Really don't care how I have to get out
I’ll snap every padlock
I’ll Snap every chain
Smash down these barriers
Need to get away
Falling deeper and deeper into the vicinity of weaker
Can't open these bleach burnt eyes
Can't watch but it is no surprise
I'm paralysed
Even though it’s an open space
My heart is racing at a lightning pace
Why would you try to deny me?
Even though it’s an open space
My heart is racing at a lightning pace
Why would you try to deny me?
We won’t know how deep until the tide rises
We won’t admit defeat without their compromises
It spreads and infects like the norovirus
Inject with violence, but before you unleash just breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Relax and listen
This is your only given
Confusing my vision
With superstition
Hold up, are you kidding?
The chapters write themselves
They hurt can no one help
Inflamed by nothing else
I am an empty shell
But breathe
Breathe
Relax and listen
This is your only given
Confusing my vision
With superstition
Hold up, are you kidding?
The chapters write themselves
They hurt can no one help
Inflamed by nothing else
I am an empty shell
Even though it’s an open space
My heart is racing at a lightning pace
Why would you try to deny me?
Even though it’s an open space
My heart is racing at a lightning pace
Why would you try to deny me?
I’m sinking
Sinking, I’m falling
Coming up for air
Coming up for air
Coming up for air
Coming up for air
There's too many problems
And no resolutions
They promised us answers
Full of phony conclusions
There's so many problems
And not enough solutions
They lied to our fathers
And profit from the disasters
Even though it’s an open space
My heart is racing at a lightning pace
Why would you try to deny me?
Even though it’s an open space
My heart is racing at a lightning pace
Why would you try to deny me?
There's too many problems
And no resolutions
They promised us answers
Full of phony conclusions
There's so many problems
And not enough solutions
They lied to our fathers
And profit from the disasters

Echoes of silence, they penetrate these streets
How does it feel to have the whole world at your feet?
Abandoned by a system, so derelict and fearsome
I can't see the truth, can you see the truth
The explosion of stars builds up our feelings and scars
Self contained in jars
Come on, let's make this moment ours
Sirens sound, bypass
Seen through a spyglass
Words but not my last
Not forgotten but past
Even angels they break hearts
Don't pretend you’re not a victim
Take this right back to the start
Take me right back to the beginning
Even angels they break hearts
Don't pretend your not a victim
Take this right back to the start
Take me right back to the beginning
Believe what you want to read in the magazines
You can see what you want to see, in your own dreams
Scream what you want to scream when you want scream
Conceive the information on your TV screen
Hear the sounds on the radio that will cause you to bleed
The police on the street try to justify your needs
But I will just carry on being me
Echoes of silence, they still penetrate these streets
How does it feel to have the whole world at your feet?
Abandoned by a system, so derelict and fearsome
I can't see the truth, can you see the truth
Feel explosions of stars brings up our feelings and scars
Self contained in jars
Come on, let's make this moment ours
Sirens sound, bypass
Seen through a spyglass
Words but not my last
Not forgotten but past
(And even angels break hearts)
Don't pretend you’re not a victim
Take this right back to the start
Take me right back to the beginning
Even angels they break hearts
Don't pretend your not a victim
Take this right back to the start
Take me right back to the beginning

Disconnect
03:28
|

Privacy is dead
We're being watched from overhead
Puppets in a show, fight like seagull's over scraps of bread
See the dead eyes as its monitors the CCTV
Raise that chin up man there's a world out there to see
Instead we stare down at palm sized screens its all we need
Dictated who to be, it's just your destiny
But this destiny is documented
The doctor's recommended something to put us down and to be dependent on
Like a ball I'm bouncing off the wall again
Taught to repent, fight the corner, keep your innocence.
I've lost the will again
Now it's time to execute the order, this time don't pretend
Did you hear me stutter?
Spread the facts, stop tracking us, this ain't big brother
Stop feeding the machine it's disgusting
I feel so unclean, it's the obscenity of everything
Disconnect
Disconnect me from the rest of this
Won't accept
This dramas forced upon me
Disconnect
Disconnect me, disconnect me
Won't embrace
There's been an error connecting to society
Make the people fight themselves
It's a clever move
Bite that hand that feeds
The meals have no truth
Hate the reason, fear the proof
Ignite the planned walls that separate the youth
Where's the intelligence
Chow to any relevance
No plan of action to put it into development.
Just settling a score
Throw the board to the floor
Start a few wars
A round of applause
For what will never be a worthy cause
Disconnect
Disconnect me from the rest of this
Won't accept
This dramas forced upon me
Disconnect
Disconnect me, disconnect me
Won't embrace
There's been an error connecting to society
The white heads are forming there on top of this wave
I misbehave when it's the prerogative installed inside the brain
Yet we complain about the stories seen
The direction pushed on us from the media
I still detest, the very situation
I don't need your fucking validation
I can't just stand complacent
This device with catch your dreams and destroy them
Feel the lacerations
Burning, burning
Disconnect
Disconnect me from the rest of this
Won't accept
This dramas forced upon me
Disconnect
Disconnect me, disconnect me
Won't embrace
Disconnect
Disconnect me from the rest of this
Won't accept
This dramas forced upon me
Disconnect
Disconnect me, disconnect me
Won't embrace
There's been an error connecting to society

Let's retaliate, act up, act up!
Let's retaliate, act up, act up!
Let's retaliate, act up, act up!
Let's retaliate!
I am the thorn in your side
Today I self destruct
Destroy everything in my sight
It's time to start again
(Start again)
Been here now for far too long
Beginning to find the cracks in the surface
Now it's time to release me from this cage
It's time to pull me out of your side
It's time to pull me out of your side
It's time to pull me out of your side
It's time to pull me out of your side
You give it gun fingers,
Well I'm a gunslinger!
You give it gun fingers,
Well I'm a gunslinger!
And slingers like me just don't have time for the shit you're giving
Give me the middle finger
Express the hate your feeling
Let's retaliate, act up, act up!
Let's retaliate, act up, act up!
Let's retaliate, act up, act up!
Let's retaliate!
The sun now it burns so bright
So brightly illuminates the sky
We could stand here and stare all day
Or sit back and let them take this away
And I am the gun in your hand
And I am that thought in your head
And I have become your hate
For when you have seen red!
You give it gun fingers
Well I'm a gunslinger!
And slingers like me just don't have time for the shit you're giving
Give me the middle finger
express the hate your feeling
Let's retaliate, act up, act up!
Let's retaliate, act up, act up!
Let's retaliate, act up, act up!
Let's retaliate!
(Go!)
You give it gun fingers
Well I'm a gunslinger!
And slingers like me just don't have time for the shit you're giving
Give me the middle finger
express the hate your feeling
Let's retaliate, act up, act up!
Let's retaliate, act up, act up!
Let's retaliate, act up, act up!
Let's retaliate, act up, act up!
Let's retaliate!
