You'll Burn

You know you can’t do this
You know you’ve never tried this
Saying it’s easy means nothing coming from you
You wanna ruin someone’s life? Hold this over their head?
Is an abortion worse than rape? Cause I would rather be dead
Such a simple fucking decision for you
But what can I do? And why do I have to ask?
Is this another way that you can take ownership over me? Another way you control us like property?
Say you want women’s rights, call yourself pro-life
Sending me dead baby photos, making young girls cry
Get off your high horse. Give me something of yours.
Want me to feel ashamed? Hold your breath, sucker
Every move that you make betrays your fear and your hate
Your insecurity is written all over your face
Now we begin our hunt.
Put down that banner, cunt
This is mine - go get your own one
This is what you do, let me tell you the truth
You are no longer the one who gets to choose
Are you happy with the pain that you’ve inflicted?
Do you think Jesus would be proud of you for staying convicted?
Lowest of the low
Here’s one thing I know
If there’s hell below, you’re the one who’ll go
Lowest of the low
This is what I know
If there’s hell below, you’re the one who’ll go
Want you to burn slow
You, not me, asshole
Want you to burn slow
You fuckin asshole

Tru Luv

Only fools rely on someone else to keep them holding on, but this is you.
I’ve never felt so much trust; this must be love
Even when I felt alone I let you keep me alive to justify the pain, the work, the fear the world will always be so hostile
This is my love - I hope you have your own
stay true means do what you have to for you and you alone
it wasn’t always easy, but I know it’s you who made me
You were my port in a storm, when I was lost at sea
I needed something to hold on to me
You make me feel like I know me
Cause true love means I finally believe
You divert my energy to positivity, away from those who benefit from desperate apathy
Sacrifice
Loyalty
If we all have a soulmate, this is the one for me
Loyal to you, my one true love
My life, my light, the only one who’s ever made me feel good enough
Throughout my life things came and went
So many people that I loved left
And you’re still here, my own best friend
I will always love you, straight edge
True love is inside
I was so fucking grateful to find
straight edge, Straight edge, Straight edge, Straight edge
One love remains: straight fucking edge

Killin Us

Dying at work and sleeping on the street, my brothers are killing themselves rather than face their demons
Now you’re wrapped round their necks, like a snake
You’re fuelled by greed and you profit from the hate
you’ve been misdefined, vilified, made out like you’re the bad guy
I try to be calm, I try to educate
I try to ignore you, but there is no escape
You are regurgitated through the mouths of my friends
You take the ones I love, but you say you’ve been misdefined, vilified, made out like you’re the bad guy
I’m trying not to hate you but it’s hard
you’ve been misdefined, vilified, made out like you’re the bad guy
I didn’t wanna hate you but you made it so hard
Yes I’m afraid, I’m terrified too, but I just haven’t given up on you
No man left behind?
I won’t let some opportunist take a friend of mine
I had a friend, I had a friend, I had a friend, then you got inside his head
When you refuse to face the truth what can I do
But don’t you turn around and say that I gave up on you

Class Consciousness

We are not free
Just a cog, nothing more, in this machine
Symptomatic fools, we wield these tools, but we’re not to blame
We want to shut off our brains when all day we act like slaves to the richest in society
And we are made to believe: if you want to be happy, if you want to be free, but you see no way forward
To bridge the void you sedate your self
Well this is part of the struggle, this is part of the struggle, this is where class struggle starts
I will not let you take a single fucking cent from me
Won’t let my money help sustain this inequality
Hamsters on your wheel, you feed poison crumbs, but you won’t get a cent from me
Brewer/ bourgeoisie
You want to bleed me dry
I know you wish I’d forget, but I am keeping my head, I want a break, we want a break
Exhausted, this is all that I can do
There is no fucking rest
Don’t tell me “think less”
Sober, we’ll watch your world burn
Sober, we’ll watch your world burn
Sober, we’ll watch your world burn
Sober, we’ll watch your world burn

Don’t wanna spin this only wanna pin myself down
Only need to spit my self out
If I knock myself out and I’m on the ground only then will I say aloud
Circling round, circling around, searching for a simple sentence to describe how here, now, I am lost and found
How do I feel?
Unreal
Unsorted, ill defined
Look myself in the eye, say tell no lies
Say tell myself the truth, and then realise there is no I
To tell the truth I must stay quiet
If you think that you know who you are now, and who you’ll be tomorrow
I hate to say it but you’re in it alone
You must be mistaking me for somebody with some identity
You don’t know me
You don’t know me
I must have mistaken you for someone who you thought you’d never lose
Let me electrocute the fucking thought of you
It’s a lonely path you choose
Must be lonely to be you
It's a lonely path you choose
Must be so lonely to be you
