Us Not Them
03:06

Oh, stop staring at he sun
It's blinding everyone
Turn towards the shade
And you might see what's going on
Adjust your focal lens
Engage your common sense
When you find reality
Be sure to share it with your friends
It's us not them
You're not the one to blame
They've played a blinding game
But now they've overplayed their hand
There's desperation in their pace
Let them know you know
Find your stolen voice
Don't ever let them think they
Have the power to take away your choice
It's us not them
It's us not them
Don't forget this my friend
It's us not them
Don't forget this my friend
It's us not them
Don't ever forget this my friend

Upside Down
03:38
|

I start out so many days
Just like I'm ready for winding down
I shout out in fits of rage
Just as I'm chilling out
I got loose change falling out my pocket
I feel strange tonight
I can't walk straight, I've lost my balance
Now I'm taking flight
And I'm upside down
I'm the wrong way around
I'm upside down again
I've got throbbing veins
Tryna keep up with the rush of blood to my head
I've got muscle strains
Every morning as I wake up in bed
'Cause I'm upside down
I'm the wrong way around
I'm upside down again
'Cause I'm upside down
I'm the wrong way around
I'm upside down again

Hold The Line
03:49
|

I dunno how much more I can take
This media that feeds us must be constipated
'cause they're full of shit
Every word that they spew is just lie after lie
And it's brainwashing you
Into mindless foot soldiers
To help them control us
To force us to do shit
They know ain't good for us
Turn you against us, the ones that you love
If you open your eyes you'll see your sisters and brothers, come on
No need to run, no need to hide
They will not make us lose our minds
We're gonna make it through the night
To see the light
No need for guns, no need to fight
They will not crush our souls tonight
We'll relish victory in time
Hold the line
I'm trying but it's getting so grim man
Each day I'm getting closer to just pulling the pin
And I don't like this person that's hiding within me
He's the person that I've spent my whole life trying to not be
I don't wanna hate, I was brought up to love
I'm tryna stay true, but I'm feeling the shove
But I won't let them break me 'cause I owe it to you
To stay strong for us both until you see it too, now come on
No need to run, no need to hide
They will not make us lose our minds
We're gonna make it through the night
To see the light
No need for guns, no need to fight
They will not crush our souls tonight
We'll relish victory in time
Hold the line
They're tryna break us down
To divide us is the only hope they have
They're tryna break us down
All we need to do is pull together and we win
No need to run, no need to hide
They will not make us lose our minds
We're gonna make it through the night
To see the light
No need for guns, no need to fight
They will not crush our souls tonight
We'll relish victory in time
Hold the line

Unity Matters - WTFU
03:44
|
|||
Back in the day they touted fuck the police
But now we need them right beside us shouting fuck the elites
It's raining red pills out here on these streets
So as you learn these vital messages, sit tight in ya seats
So many lies so many dark fuelled trends
To keep the blind eyes smiling back at the lens
keep the truth bombs bouncing of your defence
Coz you're to fucking stupid to see common sense
They don't want us seeing behind the curtain
So what better distraction than to keep us all hurting
Look around you'll see the sheep dog circling ya
Keeping ya nervous, on edge and uncertain
When in ya life did you see so much fear speed through the
Media than you've seen this last couple of years
Everything is a crisis, everything's getting worse
Every penny is evaporating out of your purse
Every shoulder is looked over every waking minute
Coz you can't trust anybody everyone's full of shit
I Don't even know if all of my friends still exist
Coz I ain't heard nothing from them since the start of all this
(It's fucked up)
I know it's cosy and warm in that fleece
And once you wake up there'll be no more sleeping
So I can't blame ya for not listening to me
It's just my last ditch attempt to help the blind to see that
Unity matters
All creed all colours
We're all sisters and brothers
Played against each other
(Wake the fuck up)
Unity matters
Pull ya head from the covers
We're all sisters and brothers
Conditioned to hate each other
(Wake the fuck up)
You think your free but you're a slave to the system
Ever since you been born you've been whipped and down beaten
Rules and regulations to stop ya free thinking
Pretty colours on your screen keep ya chewing and blinking
Your as free they designed you to be
Ya see the visions they allow you to see
But if you love your strings the puppet is free
That's from a quote look it up, don't credit me
I know it's cosy and warm in that fleece
And once you wake up there'll be no more sleeping
So I can't blame ya for not listening to me
It's just my last ditch attempt to help the blind to see that
Unity matters
All creed all colours
We're all sisters and brothers
Played against each other
(Wake the fuck up)
Unity matters
Pull ya head from the covers
We're all sisters and brothers
Conditioned to hate each other
(Wake the fuck up)
Together we are strong
And this is what they fear
They've divided all along
Look back through the years
Together we are one
Peace will find us here
Where no one is alone
No one lives in fear
(Wake the fuck up)
Unity matters
All creed all colours
We're all sisters and brothers
Played against each other
(Wake the fuck up)
Your voices matter
Pull ya head from the covers
We're all sisters and brothers
Instead of hating each other
(Wake the fuck up)

Thumping
04:56
|

Out of my mind
I was out of my mind
Crawling the floors
Clawing the walls
Smiling out from an empty shell
Closing the doors
Embracing the falls
Tied up in a personal hell
My heart kept on thumping
My blood kept on flowing
My pulse kept on throbbing
And all the while no one knowing
I was out of my mind
Curl up in bed
Bury my head
Style it out while I hide my face
So much to say
But nothing was said
While all those thoughts went to waste
My heart kept on thumping
My blood kept on flowing
My pulse kept on throbbing
And all the while no one knowing
I was out of my mind
My heart kept on thumping
My blood kept on flowing
My pulse kept on throbbing
And all the while no one knowing
I was out of my mind
I was out of my mind

Make Fun Of Me
03:33
|
|||
Call me a loser yeah
Well that don't bother me
I've been the punch bag
Youngest in my family
And what did that achieve
Just had me growing up strong
So take your stab at me
Be sure to laugh at me
And kid yourself that I'm
A victim of conspiracy
Well you're just feeding me
With the words to this song
So make fun of me
Make fun of me
Make everybody wanna run away from me
I can take it on the chin
Better than anyone I've ever known
You call me crazy well
That's pretty lazy hey ?
That's not the kind of word
That's ever gonna save me now
Ain't that what you want,
To convert me to your norm?
Call me delusional
Well I know that about me
'Cause I'm a dreamer
Kind of goes with the territory
But I can meditate
Within the eye of a storm
So make fun of me
Make fun of me
Make everybody wanna run away from me
I can take it on the chin
Better than anyone I've ever known
So make fun of me
Make fun of me
Don't be satisfied 'til everybody's done with me
I can take it I won't bite
Not tonight
Don't waste your time on me
Don't waste your time on me
You might be waiting 'til the end of time
You could be waiting 'til the end of time
You may be waiting 'til the end of time
Ahh ahh ahh ahh
You might be waiting 'til the end of time
You may be waiting 'til the end of time
Do you have 'til the end of time?
Ahh ahh ahh ahh

Shut Up Shop
04:44
|
|||
I'm done fighting
I'm done hiding
I'm done tryna find a way to evolve
I'm done screaming
I'm done shouting
I'm done with all this clowning around with my soul
I need a break from all of this
This constant ever growing mess
The piles of lies, their thin disguise
That fail to open sleeping eyes
I've banged my head against the wall
For longer than feels comfortable
So I drink until I lose my mind
Shut up shop, just for tonight
I'm done thinking
I'm done sinking
I'm done winking at my kindred friends
I'm done frowning
I'm done drowning
I'm dumbfounded, how the fuck does this end?
Will it ever end?
I need a break from all of this
This constant ever growing mess
The piles of lies, their thin disguise
That fail to open sleeping eyes
I've banged my head against the wall
For longer than feels comfortable
So I drink until I lose my mind
Shut up shop, just for tonight
Just for tonight
Just for tonight
Once your eyes are open wide
There's no escape nowhere to hide
No going back, no matter how you try
There was no red, there was no blue
Destiny planned this for you
It's always been , think back, you know it's true
I'm done fighting
I'm done hiding
I'm done tryna find a way to evolve
I'm done screaming
I'm done shouting
I'm done with all this clowning around with my soul
But I just can't let it go

Forever
03:46
|

I've been having bad dreams a lot lately
The worst thing is, I'm wide awake
I've been doubting everything I've ever learned
I'm struggling to do this take
When I lift my head and look you in the eyes
I see you're feeling just the same
I guess we've had our fill of nasty surprises
The tears rolling down your face say it all but
When I said forever
When I said always
When I told you that I'd never leave you
I meant it for the rest of my days
You see, it doesn't really matter what the future holds
As long as I'm holding you
I wish I had the strength to lift up your spirits but
Honestly I don[t know what to do
Every road is just another dead end
Every day is just another lost friend
Your heart's a puzzle that I'm struggling to mend
And the tears rolling down your face say it all but
When I said forever
When I said always
When I told you that I'd never leave you
I meant it for the rest of my days
And beyond
I've been haunted by a lot of ghosts lately
You know something, it's kind of nice
They take my mind of all the bullshit that's in front of me
Every waking moment, burning my eyes
They taunt me and they tell me I ain't good enough
To keep you safe from your fears
They rile me up and maybe that is their intention
'Cause they gave me the strength to wipe away your tears, now baby
When I said forever
When I said always
When I told you that I'd never leave you
I meant it for the rest of my days
When I said forever
When I said always
When I told you that I'd never leave you
I meant it for the rest of my days
And beyond

Precious Moments
04:03
|
|||
I fended off those fears
From burrowing into my brain for far to long
And I cried a thousand tears internally
Dissolving all that felt wrong
I filtered out all the shit
Just precious moments remain
These precious moments are
The only thing that's keeping me sane
As I trace back through all those years
I can't remember the last time I was the real me
I wasted to much time
pretending to be someone I don't even wanna be
I turned my back on that shit
Just precious moments remain
These precious moments are
The only thing that's keeping me sane

Back In The Room
03:22
|
|||
Do you recall when you lost your mind,
When you misplaced your voice within the silence,
Where the fear suppressed your nerve to fight,
Where you casually succumbed to mental violence ?
Do you remember where you left those polished shoes
When you were free to chose to run, walk or creep ?
Did you forget that you still have that path to choose
When they clicked their fingers and told you to sleep ?
They told you to sleep
Come back into the room
Come back into the room
Come back into the room
We need you
Come back into the room
Come back into the room
Come back into the room
We need you
Come back into the room
Come back into the room
Come back into the room
We need you
Come back into the room
Come back into the room
Come back into the room
Do you recall when you lost your mind
And why the fear masked your nerve to fight ?
