I don’t know
Why I wasted my time on you
Why did I try so hard to save you?
You pushed me away
But I kept coming back
My arms were outstretched
To pull you out from the black
I'm glad I walked away
Before things got to bad
I used to be drowning
But i'm now on dry land
But your head is submerged
And all you can do is gasp and burst
I would save you
If you would do the same
But it was all lies and only you are to blame
Its like anchors are attached to your feet
Dragging you into the deep
Its getting so dark that you can barely see
You're getting so deep that you barely breath
You’ll find no way out of this
I hope you'll learn your lesson
I’ll never let you forget
I have have just reached the surface
I’ll never make the plunge again
But the tide is still rising
And soon there'll be nothing left
I have just reached the surface
I’ll never make the plunge again

Hypocrites

I can’t let go
Of what you’ve done
I just feel lost
As my body’s going numb
Will this smoke ever settle?
Will I ever see clear again?
I refuse to be a pawn
In your sick and twisted game
I won’t destroy myself
For those who won’t do the same
I’ve been through too much hardship
I’ll never go through it again
How can you even live with your self?
When you cause so much pain?
Can’t you feel the guilt under your skin?
I know one day you’ll regret your sins
It was all a lie
Those words you said
You’re lost at sea
You're better off dead
We change as we grow old
But is that for the best?
You’ve changed into something even I detest
Your life is a mess
And there’s no turning back
You want me to help you?
Well I’m not doing that
You just filled my veins with venom
And now my mind feels torn
I’ve always tried so hard to be selfless
Always tried to give you my all
Now even when my eyes are open
Inside my mind I’m practically dead
You deserve to burn in hell for doing this to my head
Here’s the rope
I put it in a noose
Do me a favour
And put your head through

Paint On Porcelain

At one or more points in our lives
We realise that those we love can so easily wither away
People can be alive one day
The next they could be lying in some wooden box
Everyone of us has someone
Who is the epicentre of all the good times we have
And if that person goes
We feel lost and we might not want to carry on
There’s no way to explain
How I get through everyday
By body’s getting weak
My mind’s starting to fray
I no longer fear hell
Because life’s hell without you
I paint the smile on my porcelain face
But the truth is
I miss you
It used to be so easy
When you were always by my side
Getting me through everyday
And I cherished what you gave
The strength to carry on
The strength to stand tall
But now you’re six feet under
How am I meant to face it all?
I promise i’ll make you proud
I won’t waste this life I promise i’ll you proud
Some day

Awakening

I cannot be the only one
Who can see what’s in plain sight
That we now rely on a system
That’s designed to destroy our rights
Only a few live a life of privilege
Those fed with a golden spoon
We can no longer continue
To ignore our impending doom
We cannot sit by idle
Until what we have is burnt to the ground
We cannot inherit ash
A new balance needs to be found
It brings bile up in my throat
To look at the state we’re in
Even now we can be judged
By the mere colour of our skin
You can keep your illusion of progress
But I cannot escape the fact
Whilst you profit off the work of others
We fight like dogs over meagre scraps
Question Authority
Never Comply
Expose the truth
Spit out the lies

Bled Dry

Ash and dust now line our lungs
Noxious smoke is billowing high
The air we breath is becoming toxic
As we spew filth into the skies
Ash and dust now line our lungs
Noxious smoke is billowing high
The air we breath is becoming toxic
How long until everything dies?
When have they ever cared about us?
Unless it’s about the size of their own wage?
With people so deluded by money
How can we ever expect a change?
We are no longer priority
Our needs are being brushed aside
We need to break this cycle
We have to at least try
How can we act like nothings wrong?
We continue to evert our gaze
From the main problem that we face
The shrinking cliffs the rising waves
The stock prices may rise or fall
But the duty to our planet now prevails over all
It makes my stomach churn
That we now show more concern
About how much we fucking earn
As we watch the forests burn
Don’t you feel ashamed for what you’ve done?
Is there any remorse in your soul?
Are you really going to leave us
With half of what was once whole?
Don’t tell me this was necessary
When you are bleeding our home dry
Don’t try and make pollution
Something you can justify
We don’t want your burdens
thrusted onto our backs
How dare you try and leave us
With charred remains and rivers black
Im scared of what the future holds
It’s getting worse day by day
How long until we see
This is not the only way
