Your leader’s a creature
A supreme deceiver
Your freedom’s imagined
The power, it ain’t yours
They get you on their side
By feeding you with lies
Then discard you once
Their foot’s in the door
It’s their house now
It’s their rules
But they wouldn't be there
Without the help of you fools
Oh don't be a tool
This island’s a beacon
Of archaic tradition
History clutches at the heels
Of progression
We’re hungry and restless
You're tired, you're breathless
From crawling up the mountain
But we’re close behind
Who am I to watch us burn?
It's our time, lets take our turn
Oh don't be absurd
Your leader’s a creature
A supreme deceiver
Your freedom’s imagined
The power ain’t yours

Mind and Body

My stomach aches all the time
There is something inside
It’s trying to take over me
It’s trying to take over me
Some bodies break before the mind
Some minds leave the body paralysed
I can’t workout which one I am
I can’t workout which one I am
Can’t help myself
Can’t help anyone else
Can’t help myself
Can’t help anyone else
My mind aches all of the time
There is something inside
It’s trying to get out of me
It’s trying to get out of me
Medicine is for the weak
Medicine ain’t what I need
You’re trying to take over me
You’re trying to take over me
Can’t help myself
Can’t help anyone else
Can’t help myself
Can’t help anyone else
My stomach aches all of the time
Some bodies break before the mind
My mind aches all of the time
Some minds leave the body paralysed
Can’t help myself
Can’t help anyone else
Can’t help myself
Can’t help anyone else

Holocene Ending

I’ve seen corn fields ablaze
Exciting minds in the country
Smiles on the faces of the hungry
A wild naive grin
I’ve seen corn fields ablaze
Laughter from the liberated workers
We’ll burn away our purpose
Allowing us to be
Death to the concrete dwellers
We’ll spoon feed you, no more
If we starve, you starve too
Cities lost in a black fog
You wouldn’t want to find them anyway
The countryside’s now a beacon
A warning sign of what’s to come
I’ve seen towers crumbling
Under weight of their creators
Penned in, piled high
Quantity over quality of life
I’ve seen towers crumbling
Rubble crushing the distracted
No time to mourn the lost
Blame must be assigned
Death to all savages
It’s everyone for themselves
If we’re done, you’re done too
Foundations set in mud
Were bound to falter anyway
Found wanting by the storm
Our sentencing is yet to come
Silence in the wake of it all
The virus has eaten itself
Emaciated bodies burn
The flame, left, alone, alive
If this is all it was
Then it doesn’t matter anyway
Embers flicker on the floor
A reminder of what came before

Behind the Screen

Living behind a screen
Trying to get to you
Trying to get to you
Living behind a screen
Trying to break through
Trying to break through
So you'll see that I'm my own enemy
I poison myself with foolish chemistry
Black and white stripes
Pinned to my chest
Black and white stripes
They're all in my head
A desperate mime is all that I am
A desperate mime with desperate hands
Come and see that I'm my own enemy
I poison myself with foolish chemistry
A transparent screen hides me
A transparent screen hides me
And I'm calling out "find me"
And I'm calling out "find me"
Find me
Come and see that I'm my own enemy
I poison myself with foolish chemistry
