Just another day
playing the hardest game
trying to stay a-float or so they say
I don't feel the same, I don't feel the shame
Mr. Prime minister this is the people here
did you know your ship is sinking?
We're taking water, we're all drowning while you talk
Another speech.
I'm just a number, statistical figure
lucky if we ever get what we want
living in our ignorance and this is what we
get for it, we're the queen and you're the rook
but you smile wave and show us what you took.
The path we're on is dead the one leading it mislead
I hope we don't follow it to the end
I don't know anymore, and I don't feel secure
so take a deep breath, lets close our eyes
stepping off this same old rut may yield something
worthy of our lives... And we'll see...
That we don't need you, we never did
and (we're) sick and tired of making habits,
sick of all the ignorance and this is what we get for it
We're the queen and you're the rook,
We'll smile wave and show you what we took!

Shake The Devil's Hand
03:10
|

So angry and alone while you stand out in the cold
'cause the voice in your head says you should have always known
but the words that you speak are preaching a righteous tone
And folding to the greed because who can fucking wait?
Yeah I've always understood that the money would be great.
It's sad when the deals done, worse accepting a new fate.
Well that's what you get when you go and shake the devil's hand
Reclaiming what you think it means to be a man
You put your faith in something that you knew was wrong in the end
So "So long my friend" and why are you surprised that they left you all
behind, that they left you all behind.
And you can blame the world for your twisted sense of view
but in the end the ax is on you
And all I can feel is a sense of loss the homes you destroyed for a
minuscule cost you won't see the world crying for you.
So tell me how so many men could be so wrong?
Well that's what you get when you go and shake the devil's hand
Reclaiming what you think it means to be a man
You put your faith in something that you knew was wrong in the end
So "So long my friend" and why are you surprised that they left you all
behind, that they left you all behind.
And that's what you get when you shake the devil's hand, so proud to be
a man
And that's what you get when you sell out yourself, when you sell out
your life
And tell me how so many men could be so wrong?
And tell me how so many men could be so wrong?

Crowd Pleaser
02:08
|
|||
Back when we were great
we used to jam just to stay spending hours in the basement
just imagining new days when we were going to be famous
playing the biggest stage, a team that I wished had never changed
But now you've gone your own way
and I have gone with mine
my ambition for this life had left the day you left me behind
And you're still aiming for that fame
And I'm just fine wasting my life away
Creating again, igniting a new flame
the music may be different but the feelings still the same
I'm happy where I am and I'm just as stoked for you
maybe one day we'll share the same view
Now you've gone your own way
and I have gone with mine
my ambition for this life had left the day you left me behind
And you're still aiming for that fame
And I'm just fine wasting my life away
we're just not on the same page I assume
and I wonder if you'd still give it all
for that crowd pleaser tune

The Savage

Well Fuck you
I'm not a pawn
I've been here for too long
and I'm just wondering what's going on
here with my kin
I am is not a sin
and I wish that someone would see that
For so long and still going on
my life you're stripping away
amass every part of me
cashe it into the sea
removing everything that makes me strong.
makes me strong
I don't want your apology
I'm just struggling to be..
Free a life for me
Where I'm not told how to think or to speak
it may not be much but it's everything to me
and I feel like an ant inside just one of a million cries
And I wish that someone would see that
(no one left to see)
For so long and still going on
my life you're stripping away
(stripping away)
amass every part of me
cashe it into the sea
losing everything that makes me strong.
and I don't want your apology
I just want back what you took from me
I'm just struggling to be free
And I don't want your apology

spending all my time on the road
not truly freedom not matter where you go
One whole year spent abroad
one whole year learning life beyond
The old man said "you gotta roll the dice"
And I'm not someone who thinks twice
It's easier I'm not in control
All I want is to get away
sick and tired of the mundane.
I'm just fine with a penny to my name
It's harder than you think to come back home
Freedom's what you make of the unknown
It's true that I've made mistakes
But regrets not somthing that I'll partake.
Well old man I got to say you were right
I went ahead and rolled those dice
Now I need to pay off off all my debt.. oh yeah.

Don't Tell Me
01:51
|
|||
I've been waiting so long for someone like you, for quite along time
and I don't have the words to say how I feel
but a lifetime of disappointment has taught me
that a lifetime is worth waiting for
And I'm not scared anymore
to tell you the feelings I thought I've shared before
something seems different feels like breathing fresh air
don't take that away it doesn't seem fair
don't tell me you're gone.
I've been lost for so long 'til you took my hand
you picked up me up don't drop me again
I'm tired of silence I'm tired of lies
don't think I can stand on my own, why even try?

Emerald Waters
02:41
|
|||
Wish that you could be standing here with me
Why'd you have to go and leave me all alone?
stare at the sky I lay, I'm Haunted everyday
these memories will last but I'll miss you
And it's harder to breath when I try to sleep
you made fade with time but not in my dreams
And I don't know what I will do next
Without your guidance I'm missing my steps
And I'm waiting here by the waterside
for the waves to clear
I'll spread your ashes all over the ground 'cause I know I'll
be buried near
Explain it to me why you had to leave
this water's emerald glow is all I'll ever know
and if you hear me now know that it is true
That I'm standing here I know your standing too
beside me we'll sort this piece by piece
I'll see you again, I'll see you again
When I'm waiting here by the waterside
for the waves to clear
I'll spred your ashes all over the ground 'cause I know I'll
be burried near

Fuck it, I'm Out
02:28

They're all dicks cowards people of discrace
the ones that will push you down, shove their shit in your face
iand even now, we're all fucked as hell
They take what they want they'll take it from you
and if you disagree you're crazy a fool
and it's shit.. yeah it's shit.
Well the oil companies have the money to buy
as many souls as they want people gladly oblige
When you tell them it's the only way that they can stay alive
well I'd like to see the lies when the water is gone and dried
so they market their thoughts with propaganda and crime
the voice of the one means nothing to the blind
and everyone expects it to work out fine. work out fine.
Everybody's scared of seeing some change
yeah they're all fucking happy in their own fucking way
Well it's hard to keep repeating when no one seems to be listening
And Everyone around me seems to know what's best
When I form my own opinions It's something they detest.
Well they got nothing to offer, and I'm just shouting in vain.
Fuck it I'm out.
