Aftermath 03:12
I’ve had enough of second guessing, Death would be a welcome blessing. Suffering is all I see, I can no longer take the conflict in me. But I wont take the easy way out, Although I fear it not, I will endure, but never mourn, The love I’ve lost. I’m sick of how it feels, So sick of heartache, Another day living with this pain, Another moment I can’t take, I’m sick of how it feel, Scars I can’t show, Another year gone to waste, Another demon you’ll never know. This time you said it would be different, This time you said you’d change, This time is just like the last time, Beneath the mask is the devils face, This time you said it would be different, This time was even worse, Death would be a welcome blessing, To free me from your curse. Another year, gone to waste. I’m sick of how it feels, So sick of heartache, Another day living with this pain, Another moment I can’t take. I cannot fear what will take away this pain, I have nothing to lose, and nothing to gain, Remember me for this, no child will bare my name, I’ve lived for too long with half truths, And too many lies, After all, all that lives, In the end, only dies. In the end, we all die.

Have you seen the news today? All I see is fear and shame, Another finger pointing blame, Oh, how I hate this! It seems we’ve lost control, We’ve seen too many heads roll, We’re supplying arms, To those that do most harm, Oh we’ve lost our minds, Slaves to production lines, How long will we pretend its fine? I wont bow down to your demands, This is where I stand, I will speak out for those that can’t, This is where I stand. I’ve seen the skin ripped from a dogs back, I’ve seen whales that live their whole life trapped, I’ve seen a cow bled dry, butchered under the knife, I’ve seen too many ropes pulled tight, When will we put this right? I wont bow down to your demands, This is where I stand, I will speak out for those that can’t, This is where I stand. Every action, Has a reaction, One planet, One chance. I wont bow down to your demands, This is where I stand, I will speak out for those that can’t, This is where I stand.

You wanted war, Well guess what you've got it, Now let's just watch, As the fat cats profit, You don't know, You don't care to see, There's a world of ignorance, Haunting me. Is it so bad to just want peace? Why is non violence a disease? You're fighting wars we know are illegal, Just to lower the price of diesel. Every dollar is tied to debt, Theres always needs not met, Under the system war benefits, Only revolution will fix it. Stand up for what is right, Can you see past the lies? Question all in sight, Who is really on your side? Another false flag attack, To bring you patriotism back, Salute the flag and bite your tongue, Speak nothing of what they've done. Stand up for what is right, Can you see past the lies? Question all in sight, Who is really on your side? Consumer pride, Profit covered lies, Consumer pride, Oil before life We're divided by borders, Made to feel weak, Lets unite in humanity, Help each other to our feet. Divide and rule by design, Our leaders never in the firing line, Stand up for what is right, Can you see through the lies? Divide and rule by design, Our leaders never in the firing line, Stand up for what is right, Who is really on your side?

Heartless 04:03
These wounds are still wide open, But its time, to come to terms, With the fact you never cared, The way I did in return, Your love was like a drug to me, And I took a lethal dose, I thought we were unbreakable, But you left me when I needed you the most. Were you ever heaven sent? Could my faith have been better spent? You’re no angel of the skies, I’ve seen the devil in you eyes. Two wheels, a thousand miles, And now I understand why, I’m the exile. Tell me what went so wrong (Its hard to think) And tell what you knew all along (We were ever close) That this was never anything more than a way to pass the time (After all you left me) I thought we were forever, but forever is a lie (When I needed you the most) Every road so lonely, it was you I wanted to call, But you thought it best, to give up on it all, And I realised, by the end, If you love someone, you don’t give up on them. Tell me what went so wrong (Its hard to think) And tell what you knew all along (We were ever close) That this was never anything more than a way to pass the time (After all you left me) I thought we were forever, but forever is a lie (When I needed you the most) Hollow words, bred hollow actions, A false love, without passion, Hollow words, bred hollow actions, A false love, without passion. These wounds are still wide open, But its time, to come to terms, With the fact you never cared, The way I did in return, My love was not enough for you, Now you’re no more than a ghost, All I asked was for you to stay, But you left me when I needed you the most.

I always knew that you were no good, You're like a backwards Robin Hood, You steal from the poor, and give to the rich, Your very existence makes me sick. Every promise you ever made, Transpired as untrue, I would sooner die, Than ever be anything like you. You speak of love, in you your faith, But all you do, is controlled by hate, You speak of love, in you your faith, But all you do, is controlled by hate. You tread on the weak, Lead the sick to death, You'll bleed us dry, Until there's nothing left. Your life of privilege leaves, Reality askew, I would sooner die, Than ever be anything like you. You speak of love, in you your faith, But all you do, is controlled by hate, You speak of love, in you your faith, But all you do, is controlled by hate. You crack the whip on backs already scarred, Making things worse for those finding it hard, The poor are a sponge you continue to squeeze, The peasants you kick whilst on their knees. You are evil packaged with a billboard smile, Real issues unveil you insistent denial, You are no saviour, there's blood on your hands, Of those in the east, and those in your lands. I would sooner die than be anything like you, I would sooner die than be anything like you.

Emptiness 02:58
Have you watched your life, Slip away in a matter of days, Have you ever made your life plans, Just to watch them go to waste? This emptiness is all I have, This emptiness is all I have. You never said the things that were on your mind, I followed you not knowing we were both just as blind, At the end of the road our paths drifted apart, I took away bitterness, you took away my heart. There’s no one here to break my fall, There’s no one to hold me close, when my back’s up against the wall, There’s no one here to break my fall, There’s no one to hold me close, when my back’s up against the wall, There’s no one here to break my fall, There’s no one to hold me close, when my back’s up against the wall, There’s no one here to break my fall, There’s no one to hold me close, when my back’s up against the wall.
