Let it go
Would not show
Why you beating down on her
When you knooooow. Whoooa
That she’s done nothing wrong
Hold it back
Cut some some slack
Why you breathing down her neck
When you knoooooow whoaaaa
That she deserves respect
And you know whoa
How many times you put her down
How many times you made her cry
How many ways have you fuelled her angst
How many times have you wondered why
Nothing is gained if you can’t be nice
Nothing is gained if you can’t be nice
Nothing is changed do you even try
look at yourself
Do you even
Knooooooow whoa she’s trying to be strong
And it shows the damage that you’ve done
do you know whoa
How many times you put her down
How many times you made her cry
How many ways have you fuelled her angst
How many times have you wondered why
Nothing is gained if you can’t be nice
Nothing is gained if you can’t be nice
Nothing is changed do you even try
look at yourself
Do you even know she’s done nothing wrong
And you know she deserves respect
And you know she’s trying to be strong
And you know whoa

Chaser - Look Alive
03:15

We are one on this front, fight the proud and for all sing it loud, a song for equality.
But it’s a work in progress, a story we can finish when we are in unity. The fatal blow.
We got to have a common goal. Let them know we won’t be bought and sold.
The human race is on a roll and I can see the end.
The line is clearly drawn. We know which side you’re on.
As it goes in the end, it will come around again.
A war that’s never won.
Fire away, start today, do what’s right and help those in the fight. Be for the greater good.
But it’s a classic fable of good versus evil and it’s going down tonight. So look alive.
We need the numbers on our side to tip the scales of the wrong and the right.
An outcome that will tell in time. Join the rising tide.
The line is clearly drawn. We know which side you’re on.
As it goes in the end, it will come around again.
A war that’s never won. A burden we take on. A plight to overcome. This war is never won.
Found Myself Again
Take it back today.
Found myself again.
And I know something had to change.
I’ve turned the page.
This is the turning point for me to let it go.
Pitch black, my body’s weightless.
I’ve tried, but I can’t shake this.
This numbing feeling’s left me gut sick and empty.
Although I strive for greatness,
My mind cannot escape this.
I can’t combat the weakness, it’s paralyzing me.
It’s all in my head, it’s all just a game.
I’m running in circles crazy,
Take it back today.
Found myself again.
And I know something had to change.
I’ve turned the page.
This is the turning point for me to let it go.
Enslaved and feeling helpless,
No cure to end the sickness
And it’s been haunting me since I can remember.
Do you know the darkness
We’ve buried deep inside us?
And have you worn the mask
That we’ve all tried on before?
It’s all in my head, the voices they scream.
It won’t end if I change nothing.
Take it back today.
Found myself again.
And I know something had to change.
I’ve turned the page.
This is the turning point for me to let it go.
With blackened eyes, we cannot see.
With feeble minds now, we can’t break free.
With chemicals all on empty,
We’re lost and helpless. So desperately,
We need this vice, a double dose to kill the pain.
With ill effect though, it still remains.
Against myself, I am my own worst enemy.
Just give me strength and recovery
Take it back today.
Found myself again.
And I know something had to change.
I’ve turned the page.
This is the turning point for me, now I maintain.
This is the turning point for me to let it go.

I’m picking myself up off of the bathroom floor where I felt love,
Feeling for anything I could replace with empty space,
I am trying hard not to focus on the absent parts,
But this dark mass in my chest just keeps me coming back for more
I’m gonna make my bed,
I’m gonna take the trash out,
I’m gonna make myself a coffee,
And I’m gonna leave this on the side of the road.
I’m not coming back to get you, I am gone.
I can see the way that it’s a thing that you just can’t explain.
Maybe I’m so numb that I need the pain, I need you.
I’ve lost hope that the seeds I’ve planted behind my eyes will ever see light enough that they could bloom.
Gasping, gurgling, clawing at the sides,
This punishment is self-defeating
I am gone

Tonight I’ll sit inside my room (sit inside my room)
I’ll close the door not dealing with the outside world
I’m not ok so don’t assume
Can’t take no more at my wits end if you can’t tell
I’m listening to my favourite tunes (to my favourite tunes)
Musical safety blanket tightly furled
And I won’t be leaving my room
Till the cortisol fades and I feel well
Anxieties taking over me (ANXIETY)
It’s driving me up the wall
Anxieties taking over me (ANXIETY)
It’s driving me up the wall
ANXIETY!
You know I’d love to see that band (love to see that band)
But I won’t be leaving my room mission command
Don’t expect you to understand
Inside my head anxiety is out of hand
And I know it’s irrational (its irrational)
The way I feel my mental state makes me feel small
Sometimes I take a magic pill
To face the world but tonight I’ll stay inside these walls
Anxieties taking over me (ANXIETY)
It’s driving me up the wall
Anxieties taking over me (ANXIETY)
It’s driving me up the wall
Whoah
My anxiety it gets the best of me
But my anxiety won’t be the end of me
Whoah

Hightime - Quit Ya Job
02:20
|
|

Got a feeling that I find I don’t need
Wish I could excuse myself
It blows my mind out, my heart is ready in line
I make my own choice ‘cause this is my life
There’s nothing close to this, using all I have
So I lean on what life makes familiar
Standing so tall with you by my side
Found some meaning, some friends and a beer
I make my own choice cos this is my life
There’s nothing close to this, using all I have
And I can quit my job!
All the memories, the madness and mayhem
Making moments to last us through
Never locked out of any possibility
I make my own choice and I don’t choose you
There’s nothing close to this, using all I have
So I lean on what life makes familiar
Standing so tall with you by my side
Found some meaning, some friends and a beer
I make my own choice cos this is my life
There’s nothing close to this, using all I have
And I can quit my job!

Le Rayes - The Last Rays
06:04

The compromise between
Lasting
Every glimmer slowed down
Every glance more warming
I try to make best of it now
Free from all the distance in the morning
And now the morning’s fast arriving
Now mourning for the last horizon
Mourning for when you first rolled in
Do you take a chance of the first wave?
While you’re soaking in those last rays
You’re like the last rays of summer
You’re like those last rays of summer
You’re like the last rays of summer
You’re like those last rays of summer
Yeah the last rays are bitter sweet
So I look to the sea
Untie the rope from the dock
Cool and calm you keep
You know this boat was set to rock
You know we’re not going under
Pointed feet hit the streets
Clear the cloud of the thunder
This is the sound of me breaking free
Do you take a chance of the first wave?
While you’re soaking in those last rays
You’re like the last rays of summer
You’re like those last rays of summer
You’re like the last rays of summer
You’re like those last rays of summer
Because the last rays are bitter sweet
Do you take a chance of the first wave?
While you’re soaking in those last rays
When it all becomes too much
I like to bury myself in the sun

This house isn’t the same, it’s worn and rotting
It’s lost its soul like its inhabitants
There’s no mercy for the weak
And the future’s looking bleak
Wish I could say I thought that you did your best
A reason you’re a coffin made of flesh
Wish you could be yourself, you were never anyone else
You said you’re scared you won’t see me in Heaven
But I don’t see you now anyway
You used to have a garden
It was beautiful, I miss it every day
Now I’m not saying everything was perfect
It was nothing that resembled normalcy
When you go in the grave, no one will call you brave
‘Cause you chose to stand by someone that destroyed us
Said you just took your orders from above
But you did nothing for love
And you never chose your sons
Every day you warmed the blade cutting our insides
Every day you massacred the time we gave
You used to have a garden but you destroyed it
Now it’s withered away

Nerdlinger - Baseballs
03:39
|
|

Hold on don't pause for too long
Your second chance has come and gone
See this world? You saw wrong
Chance of survival’s ten to none
Baseballs and points go flying past
You got yours, I couldn't catch
Tally the scores of failed tests
Blind to the light, I'll see the rest
I see you there, you don't see me
You're not there and I'm not me
While you Kick back and laugh
And watch the old world turn
I figure I'm the one
Who found out it could burn
So batter up, I take the plate
In the stands I see your face
I'm looking up at you
Looking at someone else
I guess that he's the one
Who's walking in Memphis
I see you there you don't see me
A Polaroid of memory
Your pitcher takes the plate
He's here to win the game
My picture gathers dust
And slowly starts to fade
The stadium shines dark, I stand alone
Baseballs and faces come and go
You don't see me here,
I don't see you there
In my final play
I stand to catch the air
Of all these faces I don't know
In all this haze, where you still glow
In the small view we’ll be fine
I guess that even paper angels fade in time
I lay here fucked up again
A hero for you that met his end
Your midnight train going anywhere’s about to go
When there were seconds left
I watched them all run down
Swing and a miss and I'll see you around
Hold on don't pause for too long
Your second chance is dead and gone
See this world? You saw wrong
Chance of survival’s ten to none
Baseballs and points go flying past
You got yours, I couldn't catch
Tally the scores of failed tests
Blind to the light, I'll see the rest

Stone Lions - Apologies
03:24

I don’t need your sympathy or apologies And I’m not listening to anything you say to me. A waste of time to pretend all the nights that we spend Always come to an end over and over again, It’s just another regret, memory stuck in my head, I need to fucken forget, I need to fucken forget.
It gets so frustrating, all the times you blame me For everything that goes wrong, Well in fact you act like it’s not your fault, when it is your fault.
It’s time we faced it, So much times been wasted, We should have seen the signs right from the start, So irritating, but I’m not complaining, Now it’s done, we should put this in the past.
I don’t need your sympathy or apologies And I’m not listening to anything you say to me. A waste of time to pretend all the nights that we spend Always come to an end over and over again, It’s just another regret, memory stuck in my head, I need to fucken forget, I need to fucken forget.
It’s so entertaining, when you try to change me, But it can-not be done. Well in fact, I’m happy just the way I am, just the way I am.

Please save me, please save me, please save me from her. Please save me, please save me, please save me from her.

We are defenders, a torch in our hands A flame that we touch to the stealers of lands We will never retreat, daily tyrants arise We are dissenters, creators of art Exposing regimes that tear families apart We will never know sleep, the machine never dies So we go down this forever road, Trying to build a better home We know how long we’ve got to go … forever
We are resisters and seekers of truth Trying to break loose from the myths of our youth We will never be free, the programming is strong We are protesters, protectors of hope Speak truth to the power then our necks in a rope Standing up to the kings, and their armies head on So we go down this forever road When I fall please take the load We know how long we’ve got to go… forever
