LYRICS:
Cold hearts
Look
Cold hearts we stand apart and recap
Perhaps we’ll make it through the season with some meaningful acts
Like the promise when you promised that you wouldn’t relapse
And with that stacked against you
Perhaps
Traversing down the icy paths
Singing I’ll be home for Christmas whilst they shrug it off and laugh
Over the years we froze less tears each winter
The actions make the man what acts did you deliver?
We will not flourish without dinner
Malnourished looking thinner
The survivor and the sinner
But those amends can never be repaid externally
The juries out they heard the beef
The words we speak internally
Deliver damage to the 3rd degree without the urgency
Years compounded cuts until they really started hurting me
Now we’re broken with some certainty
Asking if loves alive like
Cold hearts it’s so dark
Just look around you
Cold hearts it’s so dark
Don’t you remember
Loved ones something
Someone
Cold hearts it’s so dark
I just want to feel
Cold hearts it’s so dark
I just want to feel some love
We put aside our differences when stripped of any privileges
In the midst of this chaos it’s not something we envisioned
On our roadmap to normality, more like a roadmap to insanity
Trying to repeat what wasn’t working for majority of humanity
Self entitled type behaviour
You better learn to love your neighbour he could one-day be your saviour
‘Cause when it’s cold outside you won’t be fearful of a favour
Be gracious
The rising of the tides
Remember you will never be served by their political divides
The colour of your skin, your religion or your pride day
There is no way we’ll survive this season without love
It’s a must
The cure for all our gluttony
Is a season of scarcity shared between us lovingly
But if there’s only one wish I could ever wish for you
It would be for you to know deep down who you really are
Cold hearts it’s so dark
Just look around you
Cold hearts it’s so dark
Don’t you remember
Loved ones something
Someone
Cold hearts it’s so dark
I just want to feel
Cold hearts it’s so dark
I just want to feel your love
We share the sun
We roam the earth
We fear the cold

Citizen of Nowhere

LYRICS:
Listen, one day these facts may save your life
They look like they're trying to get people to be uniform
Then you can control them
You're a citizen of nowhere
If you love the world
Never pledge allegiance to any one country
They're all corrupt
But if you believe you're a citizen of the world
You're a citizen of nowhere
You're a citizen of nowhere
You're a citizen of nowhere
The rise of the hard right, greed has signed a death wish
A lopsided monologue, we've forgotten what left is
Trapped in this never ending clockwise rotation
We smeared blood on times hands through political arrangements
Shepherds distract herds with new forms of entertainment
And sell off their wool in a bidding war with Satan
Now it's freeze or evolve whilst they feast on your soul
Like the tweet of a troll echo defeat has its toll
Selling pounds of disbelief through the sounds of gritted teeth
The procrastination of a coward if he was only loud enough to speak
Propaganda in a preacher, it's littered in the streets
Each concrete pair of eyes take the freedom from your feet
Closed borders, closed minds, life in metaphoric tunnels
Theres real homeless in tunnels from these economic funnels
Have a break have a Kit Kat there's no tax when you're this fat
Marking up a map with the scent of your piss flaps
A musician who can't dance
I'm not a musician I just rant
I don't rant I just mutter
If society had a gutter
Strangled in pink noise a plain Jane in the spectrum
A musician who can't dance
I'm not a musician I just rant
I don't rant I just mutter
If society had a gutter
Strangled in pink noise a plain Jane in the spectrum
They look like they're trying to get people to be uniform
You're a citizen of nowhere
I watched the fall of the false idols on earths scorching surface temperatures
Content with the thought one day no one will remember ya
I'll be gone until November
In a city where times fabric has become so tender
I pitter patter through the concrete in common branded sneakers
Sucking in the imagery of logo ridden t shirts
No etiquette of who should speak first
Dog eat dog world, the more we change something seems worse
Shysters in a transit using back slang as their transcript
Spores in the air as if smoking isn't banned yet
Burning rocks and gingivitis patients
Back handed arrangements, aristocrats and masons
Inhaling powdered forms of rocks those patients were blazing
It's frustrating
Seeking guidance from brave faces but are saddened when their mask fits
'Cause one day a mask slips
A musician who can't dance
I'm not a musician I just rant
I don't rant I just mutter
If society had a gutter
Strangled in pink noise a plain Jane in the spectrum
A musician who can't dance
I'm not a musician I just rant
I don't rant I just mutter
If society had a gutter
Strangled in pink noise a plain Jane in the spectrum
Reputations and urban myths got exaggerated over time
Discussing your former prime over sprits and wines
Name dropping has beens marvel over rich men who have things
Idolising false gods, misery is what that brings
Welcome to the skyline, psychopaths excel here
Colognes worn by narcissists that attract luck and repel fear
Dwell in this foul air polluted with corruption
A plain Jane in the spectrum

LYRICS:
Show me your eyes
So I can see what you see
I don’t wanna fall apart
I don’t wanna fall apart
I can feel your heart beat
It bleeds while you breathe
I’m trying to stay strong
I’m trying to hold on
It ain’t enough for me
You are slightly different already from the person who started listening to this song
Can you hear me?
Am I wrong?
I slip some pride into my pocket with a locket of my offspring
And take them with me to change the world with no idea of what I am offering
Harbouring the truths was a lot harder than they seemed at the dock of the bay
Scribbling in a journal full of dreams no longer locked away
But who’s dreams are they?
Whose questions am I asking?
Unmasking the illusions and intrusions that had crashed in
All drive and no relaxing I forgot to factor in important things
And what’s important seems to forge these things
Striving for unattainable goals, goals such as permanence
It’s all flux in a rut constructing dreams out of turbulence
Who are you?
I’m serious I mean really who are you?
See the answers in the why
Are you romancing with a lie
It's not long until we die
It's not long until we die
All alone in the darkness
But I know where my heart is
Where my heart is
Ugly cries, pretty lies
But you’ll never find the truth there
So I must walk alone
I’ll walk alone
The roads less travelled
Become my own
What do you see where your head should be?
You see the world right?
Well what if I was to say that's yours for the taking with less procrastinating
You see you are your surroundings you must be careful what you take in
Like what will you immerse in?
Tell me what is your vision?
What is your version?
What is your why?
What are you purging?
Where are your wounds?
Why are you hurting?
You must feel it to heal it
Not suppress it and keep it
By only treating your symptoms you will always be sick
You must grab that disease I mean like really get hold of it
Like the roots and the shoots I mean like the whole, whole of it
First love your shadow and you’ll reveal that your soul is rich
And pitch yourself to the world for a role that you moulded with
Your own self belief but step one is to greave
Now breathe
Because death comes to us all
I don’t wanna fall apart
I don’t wanna fall apart
I don’t wanna fall apart
I don’t wanna fall apart
I don’t wanna fall apart
I don’t wanna fall apart

LYRICS:
Look
Dumbfounded we stay grounded through connection
Introspection past patterns and cultural archetypes
Who art the type to write their wrongs when power is receded
We needed empathy so borrowed shoes so we can feel it
Power poisons people and people poison planets
And when progress plateaus we owe a debt we cannot manage
A damaged pound of flesh from the breasts of Eves daughters
The collective suicide provided a sacrificial slaughter
For the one percent
And their protected demented authors
Who rewrote history for a new world order
That the Common man once fought for and lost
Then most of us forgot
Villains and fashionable victims a story that got washed
And repainted in the name of conformity
Normally we frame it and hang it as the main bit
In the centre of the wall for all eyes to see
Married to the cause it became obligatory
Mandated propaganda a child’s nativity
On TV 24/7 programs program you
To be benevolent and obey it is not okay to ask questions
On token gestures they’re suggesting to stop our transgressions
And clawing back control of our own lives
Dumbfounded we stay dumb and grounded through a lack of connection
And no introspection entertained and ignorantly blissful
Everything is over I don’t wanna know
Wake me when it’s over I just wanna go
To a place in my mind to define
The direction that I need to find
Pay no mind
To their lies
Addicted to living lives that are busy and conflicted
Restricted unconsciously reactive bitch fits
I live with a delusion in a society that gets rich with
A cascade of Ponzi schemes California dreaming
But who am I in a state of being without doing
I radicalised my ego the more they pushed me into pursuing
What my truest self just didn’t want to do
And hey presto
Welcome to the shit show we are now in
Consisting of cultural norms and mass psychosis’s
And at times I’m conscious and I notice it
But my egoic shell isn’t fully broken yet
So I reach the same door and each and every time I open it
Deluded by illusions and blinded by the lights
Conditioned by the mirrors that tell me what to like
And what to be like by doing exactly what I’m told to do
But who am I in a state of being without doing
Am I seen, do I matter, am I worthy
Sounding just like them no wonder no one ever heard me
They’ll never see my worth if I remain to be controlled
By the old paradigms and a crooked cultures hold on me
Do I dare to be bold and see the world what it really is
Or sleepwalk for eternity
Best is the enemy of good
The proof is in the pudding or have I misunderstood
Let’s face it I’m probably wrong but yet we all are
Everything is over I don’t wanna know
Wake me when it’s over I just wanna go
To a place in my mind to define
The direction that I need to find
Pay no mind
To their lies
Oh I’ve been here before
This place I can’t ignore
Empires burning while they reign on down
Too much for us to take
It’s time for us to break
These lies that hold us down
Has the past made me bitter or better
I penned in a letter to my future self
Whilst on a path of conscious awakening
Whilst remaining dependent
On the same system that exploits me
In a manipulative relationship
What do I make of it?
I took a solipsistic take on it
Which is great
If you’re the empath in the relationship
The trouble is
I’m the narcissist this time

LYRICS:
Look
One two one two
Look
Mr Phillips told me to write a stream of thoughts
What’s a thought crime?
He committed adultery in his adult mind
Whilst on a no FAP challenge
Trying to rebalance chakras
Getting lured in by bots on the Internet
Her name was Sarah and he was her only fan
On only fans he paid for porn with his mental well-being
Watched by the all seeing eye of the God we call Google
In frugal attempts to cement some meaningful connections
Amidst the trolls and erections, segregated sections
Weaponised protections
For the good of big tech and the little brother governments
Division is only cumbersome for those they have divided
Lockdowns provided you with live streams and FaceTimes
We erased time within IT departments
And compartmentalised the cattle
Throw your rattle out of the pram to become a late abortion
A euthanised assortment of ideas that don’t adhere to narratives
Culture wars kill, cancelled by platforms for keeping shit real
Distilling water to remove impurities and plastics
In an ocean of bags once used for processed foods and cleaning products
Talking codswallop the extinction of scallops
Phishing scams wallets and the swinging around of bollocks
Honest to God they are more righteous than you are
It’s just been one big Hoo hah blown out of proportion said the extortionist
They elected their next leader after hearing what their views on abortions is
But the importance is they couldn’t give a fuck as long as you are poor and sick
And remain to be for the foreseeable future
Anti-human pro computer and lucrative methodologies
Body shame the oddities until everyone feels ugly
Your esteem has now been battered
And if it hasn’t been yet don’t be so flattered
Because all of our shits stink and right now we are knee deep
In everybody’s faeces like a Victorian sewage system
Cruising down Shits Creek on a yacht
With lots of posted pictures of fancy dinners
Shark fin soups, designer suits and fragile egos
They picked women and children first when they sacrificed their people
And fed on the flesh of Eve and ate their evil words once delivered with intent
Hellbent on crushing you with hands of stone that once gouged Medusa’s eyes out
In a UFC style tournament, Greek god looking ornaments
Muscle and fitness magazines switch to online only articles
And the farcical remained when they wouldn’t tell you exactly what cocktail of steroids to inject
Instead you can expect to get yourself in debt
By purchasing protein supplements on credit
Just 10% of your mental well-being as a down payment
Quick fixes and attainment
Until your abs look summery and your subscription renews
Debts accrued on a pathway to a superficial body
You crafted with your bare hands on a trackpad using photo shop
Photo opportunities are absolutely everywhere
Like photos of your dinner and gaslighting memes
You seen the unseen and bleached your eyes clean
Subsequently went blind and now you no longer dream
Of the American dream you just long for the in between bits
The bits that really mean shit
The bits that really mean shit

LYRICS:
One two
Look
Look
This place was dark and eerie
I found a quiet spot to try and silence all these theories
In the distance there were structures that were rusty and rickety
Just enough distance that I couldn’t see them vividly
Utopian chasers and shortsighted cynicism
A society of inmates who physically ain’t been in prison
It’s like we’re living in a fallout
I feel like John Dee when Kelly gets the crystal ball out
Delving in these dark arts like a thief in the car park
With a rewy and some gloves but no clue how a car starts
The tarmac tells a story like all wears and tears do
Broken people and there’s no money to repair you
So broken roads we adhere to
Shouting power to the people but the people they can’t hear you
Is this social dilemma a suicidal letter
Or is this the horizon for a new world that’s better?
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people go in circles it's a very, very
Mad world, mad world
I found love in your hatred
I found a plug in the matrix
Downloaded thoughts is life really what we make it?
Big Pharma, big data, big spinning slave spaceships
Who’s authoring these thoughts?
Is there a leader of this hive mind on this planet that we bought
With constructed currencies and human farming methods
Secretive agendas they drip feed all they tell us
Whose narrative is this? What role were you casted?
Better luck next life it wasn’t fun whilst it lasted
Shafted with the role of a villain playing victim
Scars run deep to the depths of our thick skin
In this mad, mad world I say that I won’t miss you
But I absolutely do and see that is the issue
And I find it kind of funny and I can’t find it kind of sad
That on my deathbed regrets were all I had
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people go in circles it's a very, very
Mad world, mad world

Pardon Me

Parents stare their kids in the eyes and swear that they promise shit
If not your own blood who the fuck are you honest with?
I fucking hate liars
You will get exposed the truth must transpire
Mum said she was clean she wasn't taking them things
But once your a fiend then your always a fiend
That's the views of her daughter
Who struggles with trust in the life a pauper
Foster homes is all that she knows
Not one promise received that hasn't been broke
I fucking hate fibbers
Big talk big plans but it's never delivered
Anyone who has to constantly that they're real
Is probably fake, deluded and ill
Lie so much they believe it themselves
The boy who cried wolf and he's screaming for help
Have you noticed the loudest tend to be weak
Fabricate stories so proud when they speak
The most opinionated seem to know fuck all
Body language is stressed from the lies that they juggle
St-st-st-stutter their words start to muffle
Get so aggressive their nest has been ruffled
Who you trying to kid me or you?
With this fronted false image you're trying to prove
I fucking hate liars
I guess god loves a tryer
They're selling cheap lies
Will you be a buyer
So they sold you a lie what's worse is you bought it
Fuck, don't feel foolish
I see through your bullshit
Stay true to myself and not I'm not what I'm schooled with
