Something To Die For

Something to die for
Someone to fall for
This is our Great War
But who do we fight for?
The end of a long day
The valour is in vain
Waiting on doomsday
Trying to shift the blame
Something to die for
Someone to adore
All is collapsing
Our moments elapsing
In the face of the blackness
In the eyes of the abyss
Collectively we sneer
We have become fear
We couldn’t have had more
We had something to die for
Something to die for
Someone to adore
Together we bleed now
Together we need now
Something to die for
Someone to adore

Just Bleed

Write a verse that enraptures my soul
Play on words that inspire a whole
Generation of writers to fold
Over desks and to bleed out their soul
Pen a line that can open some minds
Break some hearts under westerly skies
Dry some tears under heavenly eyes
Become something that they can idolise
Just Bleed
Sing a song that reminds me to breath
Or raise my fist with gritted teeth
Sometimes it can be too hard to speak
So talk to me in melodies
Write for love and for nothing else
Not for fame and never for wealth
Cut a vein and pour yourself
Into art and you’ll find health
Just Bleed

In A State

All books are self help books
All songs are football songs
All kings are fucking crooks
Alt right is oh so wrong
All dreams are disillusions
All gods are jealous gods
All covered in confusion
All dogs are jealous dogs
All cowboys are forgotten
They’re superheroes now
The core is turning rotten
While leaders take a bow
You’ve overstayed your welcome
You built this world on hate
You got the keys to heaven
And left it in a state
Don’t wanna wake up
Don’t wanna sleep
I’m in the kitchen
My head's in the sink
The system has expired
The faults have been exposed
The people growing tired
Begin to overthrow
Collect a new a collective
And we can can start again
And from a fresh perspective
Begin to make amends
For all the brutalism
And killing in the name
Of only those who’ve risen
Enough to play the game
You’ve overstayed your welcome
You built this world on hate
You got the keys to heaven
And left it in a state
Don’t wanna wake up
Don’t wanna sleep
I’m in the kitchen
My head's in the sink

Omniscient Delusion
03:09

I'm a piece of a puzzle that will never be solved
Another pawn in the system that will never dissolve
We're the first generation of instant information
Tabs and applications sustaining isolation
Stick a big fat spoon in a bag of sand
Stir it in some water, grains fight for their place
You'll see a rat race run in front of your face
At the end of the day they've all sank to the base
If you think you know it all...
That's omniscient delusion
How does it feel to be real, to be human?
If you want to get away just create an illusion
Get on the right track or go straight to the boozing
Well I would read before I'd bleed, connect the dots from forgotten days, watch life elapse through the ebbs and flows
In a thorny maze I'll find my rose
Please stand back with your officious mind, save your advice and don't waste my time
I try to move forward in my infinite dream
You're just trying to be heard, you're just trying to be seen
The struggle is real but are your problems contrived?
Offended on behalf of your vanity disguised
And if you think you know it all...
That's omniscient delusion
How does it feel to be real, to be human?
If you want to get away just create an illusion
Get on the right track or go straight to the boozing
Well I would read before I'd bleed, connect the dots from forgotten days, watch life elapse through the ebbs and flows
In a thorny maze I'll find my rose
