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 03:29
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
3.
In A State 03:40
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

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
