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

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

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

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

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 Ba da ba da ba dow dow Ba da ba da ba dow dow Ba da ba da ba dow dow Ba da ba da ba dow dow Ba da ba da ba dow dow Ba da ba da ba dow dow Ba da ba da ba dow dow Ba da ba da ba dow dow Ba da ba da ba dow dow Ba da ba da ba dow dow Ba da ba da ba dow dow Ba da ba da ba dow dow Ba da ba da ba dow dow Ba da ba da ba dow dow Ba da ba da ba dow dow Ba da ba da ba Ba da ba Ba da ba Ba da ba dow

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 ?
