Would you even notice?
If I came to you with open arms
And tried to help us both move on here
Trying to keep focus
But I still don’t get the reasons why
You suddenly left me behind you
Would you
Be there
Like you said you would to me?
Make this
Promise
Something you might keep
Didn’t give a warning
Never answered any of my calls
Or told me what was going on
Built yourself a fortress
You are letting no one in at all
While you hold fast behind those walls
Would you
Be there
Like you said you would to me?
Make this
Promise
Something you might keep
Everything is left unsaid
Since you shut down but nonetheless
I still think back and wonder why
You’ve locked me out for all this time
And though I have tried, I still can’t comprehend
Why you never said anything to me then
And though it’s been years and we’ve both changed address
I hope that one day I could still call you friend
Whatever scars you have to show
However deep this malaise goes
Whatever thoughts you’re drowning in
I still hope you might surface once again
Would you
Be there
Like you said you would to me?
Make this
Promise
Something you might keep
Would you
Be there
Like you said you would be?
Come back
Again

Still Breathing

Everything feels out of place
Nothing fits and you are in the middle
No connections to be made
And you’re permanently isolated
Feel enclosed in open space
Paralysed and there's no moving forwards
Haven’t felt alive in days
And when you fall asleep hope for an ending
Then when you wake up find that you’re still breathing
-
Sever ties from those you love
Ostracised in self-inflicted exile
Know that you’re not good enough
Every room is better when you’re leaving
And you’re barely worth the air you’re breathing
Every word cuts
Deeper than the one before
Unrelenting
A spectre constantly at my door
A weight I’m dragging from behind
I wish I could turn off my mind
But I can’t stop thinking
Can’t stop falling now
-
And I don’t want this hanging over me
Every single day but I am
So lost in my own thoughts though I know
It does me no good and I’m
So tired of feeling like I could
Break at any time now
But I don’t think I can take much more of this
I can’t breathe…

The Firing Line
05:46

Where do you get off?
Thinking you’re always right
And that makes it justified
What all-loving God
Would condone the things you do?
The violence and abuse
Your brothers are not to blame
For what you do in your god's name
You make the sacred something profane
Well who’s going to listen now
Your ideals have been denounced?
Do you really think we’ll back down?
Fuck all your demands
And all of your rhetoric
Your actions just make me sick
Help me understand
Is this what your justice is?
When you’re taking shots at kids?
What gives you the fucking right
To decide who will live or die
And the way that we live our lives?
Now you’ve gone too far this time
So you’re in the firing line
The consequence of your crimes
Put up your fucking hands
And whatever high ground
That you might have thought you have had, well that's all gone now
‘Cause when you enforce your beliefs down the barrel of a gun
Then who gives a damn what you have to say
Put up your fucking hands
Your brothers are not to blame
For what you do in your god's name
You make the sacred something profane
Now you’ve gone too far this time
So you’re in the firing line
The consequence of your crimes
