Bursting at the seams. Always the enemy. I will escape out of this place by any means. Keen to do the best I can. It's a farce, there are embedded issues within the system. Forced awake the beast that rests. It attacks at random, so 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. Gonna burn this palace down. Dethrone the leader. destroy the crown. Fight through the trenches hard just to get here. Battle further just to survive. Can’t keep afloat when the future is not clear. Reminds me just how to feel alive. I can’t be alone in here. Destructive thoughts they run me. Got to delete this fear. Or delete everything all at once. Battled through the trenches so far just to get here. It's hard to keep afloat when the future is not clear.

Not chucking down the old same similes. Oh please mother fucker no time for these. Do not applaud, the story's unraveling. We are never settling were always battling. My curse, but it's not the worst. My curse, now it sounds perverse. But I 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. Theres not enough time and how we fade away, That's bullshit, we are here to stay. We are here to stay. Descending down into the madness. Kick back can you hear the change? Sit back with your face deranged. Repelled like matching poles of a magnet. 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. All we need is 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. We will not fail. We will not fail.

Half Empty 04:11
Reflecting back to the future was in our eyes. But the sun eclipsed, black soaks the sky. I trusted you when you said you'd grow old with me. I had to tear you out, my soul is half empty. I've wasted many a night, with no vision. I'm just staring up. Thinking back to the past. 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 and now I stand here 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 thats said, and the words that we won't keep. You tried hard to crack this head, and you want empathy? Im constantly doubting, the worst critic of my own design. 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. I trusted you when you said you'd grow old with me. I had to tear you out and now and now I stand here 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?"

I lead this riot from the front. Apart of the carnage, it starts and all unfolds, and I've got tickets for the front row. Let's go. Show them how the ritual goes. The chaos is sporadic and all we know, let's get this show on the road. Spare no person. Spare no one at all. Won't let tonight get the best of me. Spare no person. Spare no one at all. It's time to ignite, start the legacy. Must insist. No words of wisdom, just bruises. Let's start this. I am the Devil, don't deny it, raise up fists. I lead this riot from the front. Lead it from the front. I lead this riot from the front. Lead it from the front. Don't take shit, defend and be blunt, because. I lead this riot from the front. Lead it from the front. Reject of the senses, this voice needs to hush its lips. This blood beating organ that's inside my chest. It never rests. Nothing left to protect. I feel possessed. No chance of immunity, we can't be run. Madness within unity, we stand as one. Must insist. No words of wisdom, just bruises. Lets start this. I am the Devil, don't deny it, raise up fists. Split seconds past and friend becomes enemies. Until one falls and that reverses indefinitely. Unintentionally, it reflects the credibility. And if we're on the same page, both morally and physically. I've seen the evil in people's eyes. I encourage this behaviour, the sweat and blood never dries. Drop the disguise, I’m going in blind, keep moving while I just stand here saluting. Blame them cuts and bruises on me. Tell your friends tell your family. Tell your friends tell your family. Blame them cuts and bruises on me. Tell your friends tell your family. I am the Devil. I lead this riot from the front. Lead it from the front. I lead this riot from the front. Lead it from the front. Don't take shit, defend and be blunt, because. I lead this riot from the front. Lead it from the front. Blame them cuts and bruises on me. Tell your friends tell your family. I am the Devil.

Nasty! Not even shipman could write shit this sick. This is the measuring stick. A league of thieves and cheats. This rhyme is not a PG. Certified as "Oh Please!" Feel free to disagree. But this shit is the 3rd degree. One day now you will witness. You think that you're displaced? So filled with hate and sickness You were a massive mistake. Smash in the face, it's gone to far, I will get you back I will get you back. After all you have done. This is my backlash. You can stay there feeling sorry for your self. Stare up at the picture on the shelf. Take your halo and smash it to the ground. You can stay there feeling sorry for your self. Stare up at the picture on the shelf. Take your halo and smash it to the ground. Don’t give a fuck, let the tears fall down. What you felt for me. Cut the throat it bleeds. We all fall down like... You can stay there feeling sorry for yourself. Stare up at the picture on the shelf. Take your halo and smash it to the ground. You can stay there feeling sorry for yourself. Stare up at the picture on the shelf. Take your halo and smash it to the ground. Don’t give a fuck, let the tears fall down.

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. 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.

Paralyzed 04:22
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. I’ll smash down these barriers. Just need to get away. Falling deeper and deeper into the vicinity of weaker. Can’t open these bleach burnt eyes. I can't watch but it no surprise. I'm Paralyzed. 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 lighting pace. Why would you try to deny me? We won’t know how deep until the tide rises. We won’t admit defeat without 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. Confuse 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. Confuse 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 lighting 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. Promised us answers. Full of fony 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 lighting pace. Why would you try to deny me? There’s too many problems.  And no resolutions. They promised us answers. Full of fony conclusions. There’s so many problems. And not enough solutions.  They lied to our fathers. And profit from the disasters.

The 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. 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 all 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. The 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.

Disconnect 03:35
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 it monitors the CCTV. Raise that chin up man theres a world out here 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 dull us down and to be dependent on. Like a ball I'm bouncing off the walls again. Taught to repent, fight the corner, keep the innocence. I've lost the will again. Now it's time to execute the order, this time just 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 embrace. This dramas forced upon me. Disconnect. Disconnect me, disconnect me. Can’t accept 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 embrace. This dramas forced upon me. Disconnect Disconnect me, disconnect me Can’t accept. There's been an error connecting to society. White heads forming on top of this wave. Misbehave when it's the prerogotive 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.

The Islander 04:13
Every day is a test. And I feel blessed that there's a way to take the weight off these shoulders. So I can rest. I just can't object, that the task is to impress. Spark it off from the mic check. No I won't holt Done some years and still hungry for it. Years to come and still hungry for it. And my family's proud, so that's worth applauding. Because of them I won't stop, can't let myself drop until we're on top, no I just can't stop. I'll just let that sink in. Just let that settle in your mind, get you thinking. Oh alright, so I better get back to the kitchen. Recipe of a perfect disaster. Just jump straight to the mains, no starters.  I'm just going in harder.  And now I stay away from the tiny dancers. I've learnt a lot of lessons. From previous relations. An obvious push just to test my patience. I'm without faith and done ignoring. I'm proud to cut out extortion. Portion by portion. No matter how exhausting. What about if everything around me is what I want to see? What about if it's all a dream? I wake up and I'm 19, IOW, back on the couch. Because I drank too much and passed out. But I tell you one thing, I'd do everything again. There's a mistake here and there that I'd want to correct. And a few more things I should accept. So we should fight fire with water because that makes sense. Is it too much to comprehend?  That there were simpler times right back somewhen. Thinking back to the days. When the summers lasted an age. Bunny hopping curbs and getting blazed until the sun raised. I was writing pre school bars. But now I've grown up. Still recall on the past. But don't get held up. I slam that door shut. And take no shortcuts.  I may be newer to these parts. You may be clued up and wiser. But I will give you trouble bigger than there was in Little China.
