I'll Take Your Word

I woke up on the floor
Blood in my hair
Missing part of my tooth
Everyone just stared
I lost time
Time we will never get back
I needed to get away from here
I lost time
Time stolen while in pitch black
I needed space to disappear
There’s nothing I can do but wait
Stay calm while you circle the drain
The only thing I can’t live without
I have no clue what happened
I left for greener pastures
I’ll take your word that I’m ok
Questions left with no answers
Ignore me I don’t matter
I’ll take your word that I’m ok
I woke up on the ground
Naked and afraid
I don’t know how I got here
Watching my life decay
I lost time
Time we will never get back
I needed to get away from here
I lost time
Time stolen while in pitch black
I needed space to disappear
I have no clue what happened
I left for greener pastures
I’ll take your word that I’m ok
Questions left with no answers
Ignore me I don’t matter
I’ll take your word that I’m ok
There is nothing for me
Without you I am asleep
A life of violence and hate
determines how I am shaped
Sometimes it’s more than I can take
The need I bleed to escape
I can’t live afraid that something beyond my control will win

Don’t think you know him
What he can do
Anarchist cat’s coming straight for you
He doesn’t give a fuck about your bullshit
Get too close and you’re gonna get hit
He doesn’t have the time
Unless you’ve got what he wants
Unless you’ve got what he needs
He’s hungry
Anarchist cat is an antifascist
He lives free motivated by his passion
Eat, sleep, take a shit every fucking day
The best advice is stay out of his way
You can’t break him
Looks like he’s caught another rat
You can’t break him
Time for him to take out the trash
You can’t break him
Looks like he’s caught another rat
You can’t break him
Time for him to take out the trash
Gets a little scared
Always be aware of the unknown
Gets a little scared
One day he’ll run out of lives
Don’t think you know him
What he can do
Anarchist cat’s coming straight for you
He doesn’t give a fuck about your bullshit
Get too close and you’re gonna get hit
He doesn’t have the time
Unless you got what he needs
It turns out he’s got time
He’s not busy
Anarchist cat treats us all the same
Get in line or he’s gonna complain
Guided by principles beyond our grasp
Strict adherence or you’re gonna get slapped
You can’t break him
Looks like he’s caught another rat
You can’t break him
Time for him to take out the trash
You can’t break him
Looks like he’s caught another rat
You can’t break him
Time for him to take out the trash
Gets a little scared
Always be aware of the unknown
Gets a little scared
One day he’ll run out of lives
Give ‘em the claws
When you think your safe that’s when he attacks
Keep your friends close keep your enemies relaxed
Don’t think you know him
What he can do
Anarchist cat’s coming straight for you
He doesn’t give a fuck about your bullshit
Get too close and you’re gonna get hit
You’re gonna get hit

More Than This

Running out of time stuck in the past on the same loop
Eating popcorn watching the world die on the news
Running out of time treating a gunshot with a bandaid
What’s gonna be left to save
When we run our of air to breathe
When there’s no water left to drink
When hell opens and swallows us whole
All the money won’t buy us a soul
We run from fires that continue to burn
Homelessness dependent on what I earn
There’s a value placed on a life
We’re worth the same dead or a live
If you stop you’re expendable
Designed to never stop
As we consume we seal our doom
Something more than this
The ethics of putting us above
Something more than this
We need to change what we became
Something more than this
We light the match then we start from scratch
Something more than this
Running out of time every day we do the same thing
Bury our heads in the sand as our beaches shrink
Running out of time we talk big but nothing has changed
What’s gonna be left to save
Head first blinded by our own greed
Nothing matters beyond what we see
Short term only thinking of today
Fuck tomorrow when you already have everything
Jump first never look or think twice
If not you someone else will comply
Destroy anything in the way
Entitled to a lifestyle we maintain
If you stop you’re expendable
Designed to never stop
As we consume we seal our doom
Something more than this
The ethics of putting us above
Something more than this
We need to change what we became
Something more than this
We light the match then we start from scratch
Something more than this
The waves keep crashing at our feet
while this world bleeds
We will rotate around the sun
after we’re gone
This world’s alive
The heartbeat survives
This world’s alive
It can be revived

The Golden Hate

Move to the coast, find everything you want
The present’s passed leave it all behind
Hard work, grit and determination
See all your dreams come alive
Burnt by the sun
Drowning in the sea
Learning to hate
every part of me
When you put it all into what you love
You keep falling short, it’s never enough
I never want to lose it
The push the thirst produces
There is a blind denial
and a hope for revival
Time has blurred the way
Fight for what remains
Green grass that covers demolished ruins
Empires built on our lives
Mistakes and misplaced motivated
Watch all your dreams slowly die
Burnt by the sun
Drowning in the sea
Fuck everyone
Vapid shallow thieves
When you put it all into what you love
You keep falling short, it’s never enough
I never want to lose it
The push the thirst produces
There is a blind denial
and a hope for revival
Time has blurred the way
Fight for what remains
What’s broken will stay broken
What’s lost will not be found
Scenery is just a show, go
There’s nothing you need to not be nothing
There’s nothing you need to not be nothing
There is nothing you need
I never want to lose it
The push the thirst produces
There is a blind denial
and a hope for revival
Time has blurred the way
Fight for what remains
The same weight pushes down on me
Keeping you awake when I can not sleep
The same weight pushes down on me
Take it off before you try to leave
