These Chains 03:26
We are just ideas of what we think we should be Linking the chains of symbolism Deep down we know the truth To be happy, and to be free, we invent our enemies, foe Don’t let the fear of this life Destroy the love in your heart To chain yourself to hate Is a choice, you sealed your fate These chains that hold us back These chains that set us free We shape ourselves, our perception Is the only thing we’ll ever own We are just ideas of what we think we should be Linking the chains of symbolism These chains that hold us back; hold us back These chains that set us free, set us free Your inner voice is so loud; it deafens all its teachers It fills in all the blanks with, twisted darkened colours Your assumptions will be the death of you They leave you cold, it lets no light shine through These chains that hold us back; hold us back These chains that set us free, set us free They’re smelted in our minds, in our minds And cast around our lives. Open your heart Open your mind.

In this space of time between the worlds we sense We remember thoughts ago when visions weren't of hate We believed in learning and inspiring those surrounding our intent Greed and lust stirred dirt and dust with fire and bloodshed Everything so old, it's brand new, brand new The change it hurts I'm locked in stone, in stone The tree and its leaves, the earth and its heart Worlds apart from analogue, synthetic dialogue You decide on your dependencies You inscribe the meaning of decency Learnt behaviour can be your saviour And it can be what ruins recently I'm both at once and none at all I'm up, I'm down, I stand, and I fall I'm right, I've left, with myself I trawl I'm surrounded by a pit of emptiness What happens to a child, if they're taught by greedy parents? What happens to the world, if it's taught by greedy leaders? What happens to the mind of iron, that's left alone at sea? What happens to the innocent, if they're told they're guilty? What happens when the free are sold? What happens when we don't ask questions? What happens when we doubt ourselves? What happens when we stop trying? What happens when we don’t listen? What happens when we lose ourselves? What happens when we’ve lost it all? What happens when we’re trapped?

Familiar 04:29
My mother told me that I'm safe My father told me that he'd protect me. My mother told me I am loved My father told me that love is blinding. My mother told me that people are good, But my father told me to trust no one. We will always remember, And we will never forget We will always remember, And we will never forget Never forget It comes not from numbers It comes not from greed. It comes from your heart It comes from a seed. From knowing yourself Everything grows. We must follow a line We must twine the string Whatever that follows It comes from within. Don't wanna be close just wanna be a front. In love with everyone you hate yourself, You hate the most. A hollow shell that short circuits Is made of flesh and bone by man Turn this terror to hate Turn this sadness to love Bring back all the courage And turn thoughts into knowledge Bring back all the courage And turn thoughts into knowledge. Bring back all the courage And turn thoughts into knowledge. Bring back all the courage And turn thoughts into knowledge. In a deafening world (in a deafening world) you gotta yell to be heard. (you gotta yell to be heard) In a deafening world (in a deafening world) you gotta yell to be heard. (you gotta yell to be heard)

Vultures 04:12
Dragging my feet in the desert of wealth My mind is starved in the land of the free The days are long, in the search for prosperity My life revolves on control I dream of days my days are dreams But every oasis is poisoned by greed Vultures The pecks and squawks the order is feasting Entire life unknown, no hope, you’re on your own. There are no promises, our laws abolished them Temptation is sewn into our hearts, indulgence is encouraged Human life is bought and sold with ignorance and apathy Fed bullshit and lies, no one cares for your cries. (x2) Don't let the business man tell you you're god He stole your wallet and he's fucking your wife Don't let the business man tell you you’re god He fucked the planet for himself and the life. Don’t let the business man tell you you’re god He fucked himself, he fucked everything If you’re unique you will be medicated Of different physique you will be eradicated Popular culture, abusive father, western world We've all had a good fucking beating Be the change you want to be,undo the chains and fly Free yourself of these chains and fly free Human life is bought and sold with ignorance and apathy Fed bullshit and lies, no one cares for your cries (x2) Support yourself and those you love Be vigil, be smart never reign from above Because in the end, all we have is what we've done Because in the end; we realize what we've become Don't let the business man tell you you’re god He fucked himself he fucked everything

Disconnect 04:07
I will always be what you think I am, Coz ya can’t understand I am more than you can imagine. What we take pride in is what defines us, what defines us Taking pride in insecurity will never let you see yourself Take pride in health, in happiness, happiness The one who lives free among animosity The burning heart of empathy Will stop at nothing to show you love (x2) These beating minds Corrupting auras with self-sentiment The wavering binds, of civil shutdown Conflicting ideals In a world not lived just assumed Mental construction Give me a sense of who I am I will always be what you think I am, Coz ya can’t understand I am more than you can imagine. The angel of mercy; a burning heart of empathy To give you strength and give you life The selfless acts that heal the word Tear strips from self to bandage souls Who’ve lost themselves Are you listening? What are you watching? Are you dreaming? Not believing Disconnect
