Arthur 02:04
Did I ever tell you how much I cared? You were always there Did I ever tell you how much you meant to me? Your humble light shining in the dark Were you even aware? So unaware I’ll shine bright so you can see it from the moon This is my promise to you To honour the path you paved for me I’ll shine bright This is my promise to you You’re the brightest star in the night From the sun in the day to the darkest nights You ignite It’s hard to breathe with the weight bearing down on me Suffocating slowly The man you once were I will not forget

Dear Brother 03:58
Pressure to be the best I can be Angry and frustrated that I’m only going to be me It’s not enough, this is never enough Not half the man my brothers will be Never a leader nor a fucking sheep Dear father, dear brothers Destined to drift through this life alone Dear father, dear brothers I’m sorry Walking in circles No destination, no place to call my home The city lights illuminate the night sky But I’m hiding in shadows Not half the man my brothers will be In this concrete jungle, the heart of it all I drift thought this world cold and all alone Every time I pushed you aside Every time I pushed you away It’s because I was scared to say I just want you to know It’s because I was scared to say I was scared to say…

Sometimes 01:48
Sometimes the feelings of what it used to mean Sound like a faint voice blowing in the wind Just when it seems so far away I look to the skies and I see open wings I don’t care if it sounds cliche I still believe in the words we used to say I will not succumb to the fear of failure These words are not just empty convictions I still believe in what this fight is for I still believe in the underdogs I still believe in the songs sung like this before Belief in the hearts of us all Like a phoenix rising high through the ash My soul’s on fire, set the skies ablaze Burning bright for the once lost
5.
My mind is racing so fast it’s gone blank I don’t know what to feel Don’t know what I feel is real I’m running circles in my head Lost for words, had I even found them yet Twenty eight years, I still believe I won’t be missed Some targets just seem too hard to be fucking hit I’ve come to terms with what my life has become No god will save me I’m not a skeptical one In a crowded room I feel so alone The lights are on but it seems so dark and cold The ones who claim to know you don’t know shit Translated misconceptions of the life I truly live I gave up on hope I’ve come to terms with what my life has become No god will save me I gave up on hope so long ago But the reality is I’m never giving in
6.
Our finger’s on the trigger Slip from sanity You know I’m losing it Give in to this hate that’s been bred in me Indoctrinated this from birth Taught the foundations to live in this world with apathy The powerless and enslaved Gagged, bound and in chains We are the hopeless generation But still you wave your flags and say it’s all in the past You say I’m free An every Invasion Day The attempted assimilation of my ancestry Becomes so clear to me The underlining racism and bigotry But still you wave your flags and say it’s all in the past It was cultural genocide But still you wave your flags and tell me free Don’t tell me I’m free And in 1788 death was brought to this place Cultural annihilation A time in history that will resonate But still you wave your flag and tell me I’m free
7.
Brothers and sisters listen to me I want you to be part of the struggle Don’t just sit back and watch as we bleed Don’t say you want to stand with us I want to stand in solidarity But solidarity is not enough Got to take action and fight the system There’s no freedom for any of us
8.
Tired from running circles in my head No clear thoughts My eyes are wide open I’m staring at a wall as I lay awake again Another sleepless night Nothing making any sense Did I fuck up again? Is it all my fault? What once felt so right has left me sitting here Feeling nothing at all Once was us against the world But now I’m sitting here feeling nothing at all I remember when the sun used to shine Those were brighter days Now everything seems so black and grey Screaming on the inside Nowhere to run and hide The weight of the world bearing down on me The devil’s calling and I’m losing my fucking mind I’ll try and do as I did the last time Make a promise to myself This might be the last time Standing staring at hell’s gate I see the devil’s face As he sits and he waits What I’m about to do I can’t premeditate Losing my mind Breaking this time I’m about to break

Gudjibi 04:34
The sun went down one day and never returned No wind in the trees No fires to burn You see the world in colour I don’t even see in white and grey The day the sun went down nothing seemed the fucking same Lost and confused Is this a dream? Will I ever wake up? Or is this reality? Walking in circles Lost in a maze My thoughts become so clouded Forever living in a haze The earth cracks open beneath me Fingers torn as I grip the edge The weight of the world hanging from my neck A torque of stone and lead I fight to hold on I don’t know why But this is what life has become For someone who never knew love But this is what life has become We are the hopeless ones
