Not In My Name 04:08
lyrics
buy track
Dragged me out against my will Given a rope, you bind the hands that free you Too late for second thoughts Given a vote you bite the hand that feeds you All your hearts' desires A thousand tortured images Perished in the fires A thousand burning effigies Hanging on the wires Pleading through the fences Words are empty lies Broken like your promises This is not in my name Deprive me of my voice This is not in my name Trust the end will work out fine Given a choice you do what you are told to The selfish gene presides Given a gun you kill the child that needs you All your hearts' desires A thousand tortured images Perished in the fires A thousand burning effigies Hanging on the wires Pleading through the fences Words are empty lies Broken like your promises This is not in my name Deprive me of my voice This is not in my name Starve me of my choice This is not in my name

Laugh Despite 05:11
lyrics

Sat around with faces grave Reinvent and complicate Manipulate an abstraction Fix what isn't broken I recognise your futile lives You don't value life You have no real use I crack a smile and laugh despite You have no reason why You have no good excuse A round of applause please The numbers fit Comply until you're sick of it Grease the lens Blur the edges A means to an end Tick the boxes Wide eyes buying in Eager nods debate again Endorse another pointless plan Raise a glass to the last man I recognise your futile lives You don't value life You have no real use I crack a smile and laugh despite You have no reason why You have no good excuse

Focus Burns 05:34
lyrics
buy track
She said I'd better sit down I can't help but hold my breath Delivered in a tone Of false regret Clench my jaw Squeeze tight closed eyes I'm trying to suppress Your words In the turmoil, the struggle I find clarity I find substance Embrace the pain Embrace the fall Focus burns through it all Half-suspected, not believed I swallow down the bile I look for a reprieve Our eyes don’t meet, no smiles Former stress now insignificant Freed from choice, the path is clear Stand up, face the world Surprise myself The smile is real In the turmoil, the struggle I find clarity I find substance Embrace the pain Embrace the fall Focus burns through it all

Hook 03:43
lyrics
buy track
If everybody who deserved to die Dropped down dead Don't ever think that you'd survive Despite the many times you tried to save a life There's that boy you drove to suicide A human animal Instinctual pack rules Too scared to stand up on your own A human animal Instinctual pack rules Too scared the target might be you A need to feel superior "It's Ok - it's not just you, it's natural selection" Denied the blame as you stole a life If everybody were forgiven all their sins Could you walk away carefree? Or would you feel a nagging stab of guilt Like a hook Tugging at your skin? A human animal Instinctual pack rules Too scared to stand up on your own A human animal Instinctual pack rules Too scared the target might be you A need to feel superior "It's Ok - it's not just you, it's natural selection" Denied the blame as you stole a life

Burning Man 07:31
lyrics
buy track
Don’t turn the light on I’m here Don’t move from that spot Here’s my good side Still burning scars shy from the light Feel like a corpse Propelled by ten thousand worms Shudder, jerk, tense the withered meat Every inch concentrate. They all just ran Twice back in The burning man You weren’t there Never felt the rushing air No sound, silent screaming crowd A hero we won’t forget Best care and promises Not good enough A hero soon forgot A burned husk Wasn’t worth the rot Don’t turn the light on not here Can’t move from this spot Corridors narrow to a cell Nurse scraped away my moral shell Humanity a corpse Propelled by contrived machines Took this burn to set apart Now I’d see the world restart
