Daydream 03:44

Daydream Please don’t pull me from this wide-awake daydream There's not single other thing I need this world to show me, Don’t' you be that one trick good looking version of your self belief Ring in the changes and grow old living on your own tranquil sea To some degree I understand, It's never so calm that you can take your hand off the wheel If I should have just one wish more, I'd stop the world and just watch as I fall a bit more for real Always roll with the punches and sometimes you might have to take some jabs, When the waves overwhelm you remember, you don’t have to live on the land Don’t' you be that one trick good looking version of your self belief Ring in the changes and grow old living on your own tranquil sea To some degree I understand, It's never so calm that you can take your hand off the wheel If I should have just one wish more, Id stop the world and just watch as I fall a bit more for real To some degree I understand, It's never so calm that you can take your hand off the wheel If I should have just one wish more, I'd stop the world and just watch as I fall a bit more for real

Dead Brains, Cold Hearts 03:36
lyrics

Dead Brains, Cold Hearts Dead brains, cold hearts, thick skulls, No parts inside to help them try and change what are thinking, Past the skin that they were born in when they Were dropped into this world headfirst On rock, I guess that’s how it happened How else would you get so stupid? We’re all here together We're made from the same flesh and bone, We'll be here forever All this right brings is only more wrong If you don’t like it maybe you could swap with them, You could make a new home from the rubble And live in fear everyday worse is coming, Then you would wish that you could live To speak your mind, to close your eyes In a land where you’re no longer running We’re all here together We're made from the same flesh and bone, We'll be here forever All this right brings is only more wrong Couldn’t be more ugly, Waste of air, let’s see What your ancestry says, I'm quite sure that your bloodline ain’t pristine and pure, Fuck your defeated tired ideology, You'll never understand what it means to be truly free, Truly free We’re all here together We're made from the same flesh and bone, We'll be here forever All this right brings is only more wrong We’re all here together We're made from the same flesh and bone, We'll be here forever All this right brings is only more wrong

Nuclear Wasteland Future 03:23
lyrics

Nuclear Wasteland Future Let's start to clean our hearts like sweeping streets there's always parts left in the cracks that take more force to bring it back to its sparkling new nature we have killed that too the world's crying for a whole new way of thinking but it'll take time to undo the damage we've done to it We'll never know how it goes without us around to document it though we foresee fallout lifestyles they still won't change a thing about it they'll be dead before the Nuclear wasteland future I don't dare to think what's goin’ on inside their tiny little minds a hive of dollar signs and no allergy to the sting of time It's flashed up all the warning signs our leaders think we'll all be blind and I'm not sure i want to see their plans come to fruition We'll always wonder as we look up to the thundering skies why did we choose this? We've got to take the power back from these sick monsters 'cos they won't change the course of this ship they'll be dead before the Nuclear wasteland future

Am I Normal? 03:15
lyrics
buy track
Am I Normal? If you’re livin’ the dream, What do you do when you sleep? If you sleep throught the day Then you’ll start to believe that the darkness is normal And when there’s no one around to help back up Should you fall to the ground Will you stay there and say “hey, I guess that it’s normal”? Am I normal? Is this normal? Should I keep it a secret? Is it just me that believes that this is even a thing? If you’re stuck in the house, Because outside is too loud, And the other humans don’t begin to seem like They could ever understand Do you think that your case is different? You’re not what they’re all describing Then maybe it’s time to talk to someone and say “hey man I don’t know, am I....” Am I normal? Is this normal? Should I keep it a secret? Is it just me that believes that this is even a thing? Am I normal? Is this normal? Should I keep it a secret? Is it just me that believes that this is even a thing? I hope you know the answer’s yes Release, unburden, kill that stress Let’s share the load Open up, let go Don't wait too long if something’s wrong You'd be suprised that there’s a billion other people Feeling like they’re on another planet And it’s normal, Yes, you’re normal, It's no secret that sometimes to find the answer Then you’ve got to ask “am I???”

As Haunting and Dark 03:13
lyrics
buy track
Has compassion drawn it’s last breath? Have we lost our last souls to the seas Of hatred and ignorance Is that all we’ve got left? Is there still patience? Well maybe The next generation will glad when you’re dead As haunting and dark as that seems Because the world’s burning faster while People like you are still here Has your class been used to arm you In their war where you’re on the front line Their lies are your ammo in this conflict with truth Where the spoils are the freedoms of The next generation, who’ll be hardly bereft By your presence amongst the deceased ‘cause the world will heal slower While people like you are still here Your kids won’t see anything else Except that you left them to fend for themselves Now's the time to repent To turn on the masters, take the whip in your hands See the lies There's still time To change your minds Then the world will last longer With people like you on it’s side People like you on it’s side

Divide and Rule 02:50
lyrics
buy track
Divide and Rule You must feel awful mighty up there on your throne, ‘bow to me, I'm ordinary people’ you wouldn’t last a day on a year of what I earn, throw them a vote like a bone to chew on Our hearts are broken now through all the lies we’re fed, you’ve pitted us against our neighbours in a civil war, divide and rule, this game’s so simple There must be comfort in the fact that when it’s done you'll crawl right back in your hole, no need to explain to your grandkids why it’s all in flames, it's all our fault Our hearts are broken now through all the lies we’re fed, you’ve pitted us against our neighbours in a civil war, divide and rule, this game’s so simple Stand up together, the next generation needs revolt today

Last Goodbyes (at the School Gates) 02:57
lyrics
buy track
I tried to write a song about America and guns, but what’s for me to say when I’ve never even been there, or even held one, perhaps you could excuse my confusion. to me, there seems to be no reason for believing that you’d need more than one to every home, but it’s your right, your right to bear’s a freedom with a price, it's still lives from kids who’ve not lived yet More last goodbyes at the school gates, each neighbourhood is in an arms race, United States what is up, with your love for guns, over futures, there’s no dispute you’re, just fucking selfish The answer’s not to arm your teachers, or weaponizing preachers to protect their schools or churches from some nut with a weapon they bought with no question and no thought what they might do, it's unfair, it’s not true to say you need them to protect yourselves, when it could so easily be you doing the shooting More last goodbyes at the school gates, Each neighbourhood is in an arms race, United States what is up, with your love for guns, over futures, there’s no dispute you’re, just fucking selfish More last goodbyes at the school gates, Each neighbourhood is in an arms race, United States what is up, with your love for guns, over futures, there’s no dispute you’re, just fucking stupid just fucking selfish over futures, there’s no dispute you’re, just fucking selfish

Hey Rockstars! 04:45
lyrics

I can’t decide which word to use and where to go this time how to say it like it’s not the ending world but also not so nice Wouldn't we all love to see all different sides of every person without pulling faces wrapping up every feeling like it was going out of fashion ‘cause it was We ain’t got time to remember you all fondly so stay with us, write some more lines to remind us where we were at weird points in our lives That ain’t rock n roll just monsters pushing people to the edge they need pulling back again if it was so easy then you would not see me writing out these lines for them wouldn't we all love to see all different sides of every story without knowing who we’re talking about and we all love to think that we can understand our heroes but we don’t....no no no no! We ain’t got time to remember you all fondly so stay with us, write some more lines don't burn out you know we pray that the day you can’t play no more is far from now so stay with us, write some more lines to remind us where we were at weird points in our lives You don’t need to fall no need to leave it all We ain’t got time to remember you all fondly so stay with us, try some more life don't burn out you know we pray that the day you can’t play no more is far from now so stay with us, write some more lines to remind us where we were at weird points in our lives
