crouch low, sneaking through the shadows we’ll watch society fall ignite the spark, hurling torches, skies light up smoked out cities, forced to crawl rise up, stand tall hand drawn maps will always guide our way with homemade weapons arm the crowd rise up, stand tall from hidden safehouses, a great escape covered faces, join in the fight we’ll start the revolution spray paint guides our rebellion we can change the hearts and minds find peace within destruction bricks thrown, shattered glass exploding past soaked in blood we’ll brawl draw your knives, embrace the dark, the time has come one by one, we’ll end them all rise up, stand tall a call to arms heard on the airwaves join the riots in the streets rise up, stand tall falling bombs drowned out by dancing feet the voice of freedom’s steady beat we’ll start the revolution Spray paint guides our rebellion we can change the hearts and minds find peace within destruction

One By One 03:54
walk right in, let’s get this done grab a beer, i’ll grab two rums pull up chairs, move the tables tell me your latest fables another rum, where is your jack? memories come flooding back you check the time I see your face your thoughts are of another place one by one, I watched you leave walk out and turn your back on me silently, with no goodbyes left drinking into the night the jukebox change means josie time we’ll drink the fridge, 4 from each line i never thought i’d see this end who’ll go back with me again? i’ll lead the way we don’t need maps show you where the sidewalks crack i still hear the same old songs but riley’s bar is dead and gone one by one, i watched you leave walk out and turn yurr back on me silently, with no goodbyes left drinking into the night memories, all start to fade from when you kept your days ablaze still my smile, ignites the sky filling the darkness with light one by one, i watched you leave walk out and turn yurr back on me silently, with no goodbyes left drinking into the night memories, all start to fade from when you kept your days ablaze raise my glass, up to the sky never grasping, what you left behind

nice to see you today haven’t seen you for a while sooner would of been great it may take a little time, but everything is fine. always been solid mates let’s buy a round and work this town spend everything we’ve got don’t give a shit about tomorrow's plane fight let’s just get fucked up here’s to you, my old friend here’s to us even after death find the time, when you can find your feet, life goes on till we meet again long distance time will break every day doesn’t mean we have to stop or give it all up any minute we can give it we’ll stop this friendship from blowing it’s top we only need a second, a voicemail, a message it doesn’t matter if its gold or fuckin rubbish here’s to you, my old friend here’s to us even after death find the time, when you can find your feet, life goes on till we meet again long distance

quickly running for a place to hide put your head down trying not to cry wondering if they will find you there another day of quick apologies they can hear you but enough to appease you don’t wanna start another fight it’s you're fault, that’s what you’re told this could have been avoided simply shut your mouth, avert your eyes you’re the reason for this violence it was not this way before you know we must take a stand covering your face with any disguise making sure no one would realise unsure if it will ever happen again dry the tears on your bandaged arm convince yourself there is no real harm it’s just one bad day you will forget it’s you're fault, that’s what you’re told this could have been avoided simply shut your mouth, avert your eyes you’re the reason for this violence it was not this way before you know we must take a stand now every time you see that light it makes the thought of your realisation so painful we heal in time, it’s worth the fight only wish you’ll have is it should have been sooner
5.
you question why we’re here, you need a reason to live they told you they won’t take from you, they only ever give you asked why can’t you see, as they slowly draw you in manipulation turns to fear, you’re controlled they slip right in and he said come take my hand, set yourself free confess your sins, you need it before you could blink you were down on your knees you’re blessed with a dirty secret you followed every week, at first you’d always fight you listened to their message, you began to see the light they asked you to believe, in the power from within 3 hail mary’s, some cheap wine and another cheeky grin while he said come take my hand, set yourself free confess your sins, you need it before you could blink you were down on your knees you’re blessed with a dirty secret children of the faith we don’t need, what you say you don’t own us anyway

blinding light through tired eyes worn out, exhausted, broken from this disguise i lost something many years ago if i found it again would i even know i’m so tired, i’m just so tired tryin to get myself outta bed it’s so quiet, just so quiet despite all the noise in my head i should grab my things, spread my wings leave these thoughts behind looking forward as i walk out the front door but it’s the blinding light, through tired eyes it keeps me down when i try to rise i know it seems i hate you, but i don’t even see you there i’m already beating myself, without a real reason the light when it shines is blinding, the darkness takes a hold no one can comprehend it, what someone’s mind creates i’m so tired, i’m just so tired tryin to get myself outta bed it’s so quiet, just so quiet despite all the noise in my head i should grab my things, spread my wings leave these thoughts behind looking forward as i walk out the front door but it’s the blinding light, through tired eyes it keeps me down when i try to rise i’m still tired, i’m still so tired as i crawl back into my bed i need quiet, i just need quiet to drown out all the noise in my head i can’t change the things that frayed my wings as they close in from behind i can’t move forward as they beat down the walls it’s the blinding light through tired eyes it keeps me down when i try to rise blinding light through tired eyes one more day in this disguise

now every time i see your face it reminds me of the pain that you have brought upon us here there’s nothing left but affliction your plague of drama decayed our light replacing it with fear no starlit sky cos everything is gone a world of shadows, spells roll off your tongue unaware if you can see the shame your causing now we’re all broken you fucking harlot, you’re a fake this is your last fatal mistake dragged, tied and burnt here at the stake who said witches were dead we’ll stoke the fire with our hate while i paint my face in blood and ash mixed with your tears you lost it all in the end in the silence all your evil thoughts now crystal clear this curse make us hallucinate the light of candles flicker in the dark but how our lives illuminate when you feel the flames like joan of arc you fucking harlot, you’re a fake this is your last fatal mistake dragged, tied and burnt here at the stake who said witches were dead you are a witch, you shall burn exhale while you smoulder in the urn you will be tortured in hell, it’s time for you to return you’ll scream, i’ll smile while you learn your pain is not my concern.

truckstop food makes me happy so fucking far from home i miss my bed and miss my family always laughing, yet so alone highways are endless, these bathrooms all smell like piss don’t wanna work tomorrow, just wanna call in sick we'll do all of this again we keep on coming back no longer drunken kids with dreams in our heads it's tiny punk dive bars, and sleeping on the floor the ringing in my ears, helps me block the snores it's long drives and sunsets, and racing to make flights more long distance phone calls, always sleepless nights the open road we’ll drive road rules do not apply we'll do all of this again we keep on coming back no longer drunken kids with dreams in our heads keep the lights on we’re coming back to the bar have a coke and jack might as well give the liver a smack servo pies and a powerade snack
9.
run home all alone, no one is home thinking of you as i unlock the front door the modem is slow, there’s no dial tone i trip on the cable stretched across the floorboards let out a shout, the streetlights are out simpsons are on the tv in the background i suck down a coke, you suck and don’t choke i take a deep breath as i pull the blinds closed one cheeky smile and you’re all mine you’re divine, decline into my obsession online where did you go? i miss you i bought my lube and 4 boxes of tissues i need some solo time and a napster download line i’ll be just fine our powers combined. you help me unwind forgot about my tamagotchi, it died the blockbuster store i visit no more no need to rewind but my wrists are getting sore your technique’s legit. i stare at your tits incoming call cuts the line i have to quit right click’s a risk. now burn to a disk urban legend spread across the internet one cheeky smile and you’re all mine you’re divine, decline into my obsession online where did you go? i miss you i bought my lube and 4 boxes of tissues i need some solo time and a napster download line everything is gonna be fine heather brooke where are you? where have you been? you did the craziest shit my teenage self had ever seen the world still needs you and your deepthroat scenes a new generation of deviates loading you onto their screens
10.
you’ll find no words on here to save you as you spiral and free-fall into a world with no control your tiny screen is full of lies an actress in your made up life. paid in followers and likes just like a heroine hit, inject a new selfie fix your self esteem climbs with your view count you crave our sympathy, it lights up your insta feed cry for attention into your device duckface, filter, a race to post edit the sorrow in your eyes. the melancholy from your smile you tricked us all with perfect light whatever helps you sleep at night addicted to the shares and invites just like a heroine hit, inject a new selfie fix your self esteem climbs with your view count you crave our sympathy, it lights up your insta feed cry for attention into your device there’s no way out of here you think you have it all this is your life, your story you spiral and free fall
11.
the week is almost over nearly called it quits pass me a drink it’s time for all of us to get on the piss let it out and get as drunk as you fuckin like the music’s thumpin as we tear into the night and here we go, once again hanging at the punk rock show with all of our friends back to the bar with cash in hand slam those shots down until it’s hard to stand before you know it you struggle to wake up another fierce hangover while your eyes and blinds stay shut your head is spinning, you smile with no regrets the nights you can’t remember are the ones you won’t forget at first all that you recall is just feeling sick for some of us the memories are all that we have left i took for granted all the times we drank right through the night i raise my shot glass as I stare toward you up in the sky could always trust that you’d be there the fire in your eyes showed that you never had a care your smile lit up the room i swear you burn the brightest, we miss you red before you know it you struggle to wake up another fierce hangover while your eyes and blinds stay shut your head is spinning, you smile with no regrets the nights you can’t remember are the ones you won’t forget i used love hearing your voice i hear nothing now that you are gone i'd give it all to hear you sing one more song one more song before you know it you struggle to wake up another fierce hangover while your eyes and blinds stay shut your head is spinning, you smile with no regrets the nights you can’t remember are the ones you won’t forget

Salesman 02:46
do you remember when, you were like every other punk band in your scene? play to forty people and ten friends playing to the punkers from other bands you were fast and loud, hungry back then grew up singing stick it to the man political agendas and what you’ve been through and everything that meant a thing to you now you got some interest from the record man in it for a life and not a one night stand worked out well for both of you started his dream and made yours true a new label, everything’s turned around fans were less but a bigger crowd and record by record, your reasons have all slipped away now you’re just another salesman making money from pretend fans using the excuse you just wanna get your message through you are music’s equivalent of a tv commercial, an advertisement is this what you wanted? is this what you dreamed? now you’re just another salesman making money from pretend fans using the excuse you just wanna get your message through you are music’s equivalent of a tv commercial, an advertisement is this what you wanted? is this what you believed? what you need. to succeed. what you believed.

Shout Out 04:16
shout out to the people suffering everyday there’s nothing like the feeling of always being in pain and it doesn’t just affect you, but everyone who’s close shout out to the people just doing the best they can it’s funny how in society people only pretend to care fake a smile to your face, but when you need them they disappear you think you understand this from social media display all the time just praying it doesn’t affect your fucking day you will not fight this alone we will be there to pick you up shout out to the people fighting cancer everyday everything it hurts, unseen torture and pain life will never be the same always sleepless nights, all these restless days you pray for a moment of respite close your eyes hope it lasts forever you will not fight this alone we will be there to pick you up shout out to the people fighting cancer everyday i promise you i won’t leave your side through these dark times your light will shine this fucking disease won’t define your life you ignite the fire that will win the fight #fuckcancer
