Say You Will 02:52
I see red, when I hear you blame the world for everything you ever had. You’re obsessed, you keep taking more and more till there’s nothing fucking left. Now all I’m asking is for a little more respect. Chorus; Say you will, say you will. And lighten up to find yourself with no one’s help. Say you will, say you will, say you will Now I’m aware of the issues that you bring and the baggage you’ll never declare. We’re not here to support your fucked ideals and demands that make us live in fear. And now you’re asking for a little more respect. Chorus* 2 Bridge; Now your fucking say you will. Just keep your promise, don’t break this deal. Enlighten us with the best you got and just say you will. Say you will. Chorus* 3 Now your fucking say you will.
2.
Silence 03:17
Waiting for the last of our voices of our nation they’ve faded. Stop and stare, pretend you don’t care, but I won’t sit idle by and take it. Chorus; With our heads in the sand and our faces in hands, Can’t you see the sirens that tear through our head? And they try to divide through imaginary lines, So if we sit in silence, will all collide. We need time to reset the clock it’s been long enough, they push and you fall. This silence is breeding. So fight fucked wars. Kill in the name of gods and whores. Not me, no more. Chorus*2 Bridge; Take this chance and take what you never could. If they had their chance to take it you know they would. And fuck their plans, because corruption needs two hands. Don’t give them a chance, and fuck their plan. Don’t give them a chance. Will all collide when silence divides. Chorus 3* I can’t sit in silence, I can’t sit in silence Silence and sirens.

10 weeks into this ordeal and now I start to feel like I am getting tired. And now I can’t sleep, I’m trapped in this cage, I feel that I’ve waited too long to leave. Chorus; I can see that there’s something wrong can we push this along it’s time to end this. Well can’t you see that somethings wrong, no you’ll drag this along and make the best of it. And it feels so strange since I’ve had my way but you say that nothing’s changed, Yeah its normal. But everyone can see that I’m starting to lose myself I feel like a slave. A life without purpose when your colour’s surface to blind me of what I still need. Chorus 2* While you’re watching me, blissfully unaware. Me, Me. Casey. Chorus 3*

Casey II 03:37
Casey pt 2 Casey, it’s so big in here. We tried to walk that way and got nowhere near. It’s endless, the message falls upon deaf ears and it’s still unclear, And never too sincere. Chorus; While you’re watching me, Blissfully unaware, Now you stop and see, That I’m in despair. Holding back while you undress to find out what it means to me. Casey, it’s just not real. Apply your bravest face and watch it peel. Your desperate, I see no need for this embrace it’s in bad taste. Four years laid to waste. Chorus 2* Bridge; I can see that there’s something wrong can we push this along, time to end this. I can see that there’s something wrong can we push this along its time to end this. Chorus 3* While you’re watching me, Blissfully ill prepared, Now you stop and see, That I’m in despair Holding back while you undress to find out what it means to me. Holding back while you undress, let’s find out what you mean to me.

I’ve seen my face and it looks so gaunt, I wanna turn down the pace, don’t need your support I can take what I need but I don’t need anymore, Now I’ve seen what you’ve done and so far it’s wrong. Four years gone and such a waste of time. I’m over the hill but I won’t fall in line. Chorus; I’ve seen you here! Have you been here before? There’s a hole in the floor. A hole in the floor. Go beg in silence, don’t knock down my door. There’s a hole in the floor. A hole in the floor. How does it taste? I’m bitter broken and poor, You can’t turn down the pace, Without their support, Now you’ll take what you need but you don’t need anymore, You just can’t seem to find, What you’re looking for. Four years gone and such a waste of time, I’m over the hill so go fall back in line Chorus 2* (Don’t kick down my door) Chorus 3*

Ember's Song 04:41
She wakes up in the night, To a hope of new daylight, As the cancer eats here bones, This is the fight of her life. I sing her one last song, In her bedroom of St John. The doc walks in with a quivered lip and says we don’t have long. Maybe if we’re lucky, 6 months to the day. The tears fall down so she turns away but I pull her back and say; Chorus; We’ve tried nothing, So let’s give this everything. Let’s go home, because there’s still hope. And if the world keeps turning, And the flame still burns in you, Then there’s still hope. I’ll take you home tonight. She reaches towards the sky, And she questions when and why. But no one hears her call. No one’s there to hear her cry. But I hear her. Her innocence is killing me, As she dreams of extended life with me. But maybe if she’s lucky, She’ll get through the day. The tears fall down so I turn away but she pulls me back as says Chorus 2* She starts to close her eyes, As she says her last goodbyes

Rectitude 04:20
Speak no words, Hide my pain, I’ll hold my tongue and take the blame, Because empty words still feel the same, but empty lies can’t hide it. So in return, I’ll contemplate, but it’s too late because now I know it’s true. Chorus; I can see you holding out, there’s nothing here for you. I can’t seem you hold it down. I’d give it all for my rectitude. You harbor a scheme so obscene you should have known, That I won’t be here for you anymore. Your apathy’s tragedy, don’t cry, don’t crawl, But I’ll disappear as you close the door. It’s what you came for. I never knew with you. So as your leaving, Now I know it’s true. Chorus 2* Give me something to live for and I’ll give you something to lose. I hear you scream but im holding, holding, holding on to my rectitude. Bridge; And through it all you rise and fall, you fall to your knees as you call from the door. If there’s one chance just one chance then will take it. Chorus 3*
8.
Lifeless 02:59
Lifeless and drawing a blank at the stares. Seems like there’s nothing no progress we’re hopeless at best. Running around chasing a dream left for dead. There’s nothing for us no one left. This illusions gone but they’ll keep on pushing us further and further. Chorus; I’m on your side. But we were wrong this time. In an instant this indifference will leave you blind. We’ve lived unconsciously waiting for death. Making the least of our lives we still live in regret. If we could try a little harder then maybe will keep pushing further and further. Chorus 2* Under the pressure of tyrants, Raping us, And bringing us down, down, down, and leaving us out. We can’t even pay our way. Forget about following dreams. Your happiness will elude you. Further and further. Chorus 3*
9.
Abandoned 02:56
Chorus; Can you make it happen, before we all abandon, before this forms a pattern of perpetual suffering. Tears from these eye’s that never blink, from this mind that never sleeps, if I could change the world would you still let me? But too many voices through this little screen, too many bad opinions clogging up and fucking up this scene. In a time when truth is wrong and so is reasoning. Chorus 2* Keep on talking about these places you’ve never been and these things you’ve never seen, defending bad ideals for popularity. Can we stop with this victim hierarchy, you wanna be a minority for power and split us into categories. Can you make it happen before you form a pattern? Can you make it happen before we all abandon. Bridge; Just take this time and think this through, some things just aren’t subjective and its time you knew. Shut up, shut your fucking mouth. I don’t need your shitty point of view. Can you make it happen? Make it happen. If you make it happen then we will not abandon. Bridge 2*

And I felt subdued, And everybody notice it but you. You drained me whole. Now I’m sifting through, The better parts of you could never do, It’s like Stockholm syndrome. What can I say, what could you say, what will you say? Chorus; Say something. I’ll try to make the best of what you say. Say something. We tried our best it’s time to walk away. And I felt the noose, Tighten up and pull me back to you, With no control. But I sit here though the height of this depression and abuse, Not knowing what to do. It’s like Stockholm syndrome. What can I say, just another day, that I have to stay. Chorus 2* Chorus 3* Just say something. Anything anything. And now I know it’s time to walk away from you.
