Talking to myself Coz you don’t seem to listen to anyone else, Voices never spent, Pushing all our patience to a cliff side edge, Carelessly convinced you'll come back to me, All this in my head coz we never speak, Oh my love you are dead to me, You are never ever coming back. Conversation, Keeping blame from taking strength from false accusation, Communication, Holding back the poison hidden in my anxious brain, Making idols of fear, Betraying sense to persevere, Within a fractured veneer, Coz I don’t know how to appear, You seem to make it out clear, But hide the pain that we both share, If only we had spent time, To say the things, but we both lied. We will never see what we could have been, Latching on to faith in these simple sins, This is broken, Put it back again! No! Conversation! Antidote to hatred! Face to face and! Say the things that we’re thinking! Patiently reduces pain an, Communication its sacred. Lost inside our own eclipse, Failing patterns we omit, Its too late for us to find a fix, Speak! Speak to me! Speak---! And

You say you cant save a life and, You say there's nothing you can do. You force all the rest into silence. You hope their fear will carry through. All these people, they need you, to help them too. x3 But what are we to do? Well for starter's you could silence all your hateful speech. Spreading your lies that divide us just to make ends meet. Forcing fear into minds till no one can speak. Against the lies you preach. You say you cant save a life and, You say there's nothing you can do. You force all the rest into silence. Which side will history see you? Foster cohesion! And strike out division! Coz we're all the same, in the reapers mission! It's lies! It's lies! Use your mind to see!

Open up your face of pride, there's fear inside, Rather let your fellow human's die, Terror's forced into your mind, Coz' profits lie, In destruction of once stable lives. In this world of lies it's so hard, Not to see dividing lines between our lives, But just try, to rekindle all you've lost, Just try this time. They don't leave because they like, to risk it all, For a chance at a decent try, They are human like you and I, There's common ground, Try to build instead of breaking down. In this world of lies it's so hard, Not to see dividing lines between our lives, But just try, to rekindle all you've lost, Just try this time. Critically analyse, all the fear they feed your mind, Bias clouding your life, Culturally lobotomised. It's not too late to rekindle all you've lost. x3 It's not too late to try. It's not too late to stop this fall! You can't pretend to know it all!

Carry him away He's sick of all his failed attempts to mitigate his pain, Conscious world remains, Waiting on his resolution to produce an end, His eyes are closed to feign, A sense of strength and final purpose even though he's scared, To take that step, Because he knows that turning back won't be an option, No, he says in his mind, Coz this will be his final night, He's come to far to deny, He kicks away, i watch him fall, And so, what could i do, Let the rope break! And now he swings! The struggle begins! His eyes are wide! He knows he's gonna fight! For life, For life, As darkness falls I look on with bloodshot eyes, As he fights, For life, He thought he wanted it but this is not right His face goes blue, he starts to slow, the conscious world fades, His fear is slowly seeping out, the cold takes its place, Oh what he'd do for one last breath to quench his reserves, He made his bed, he starts to go limp but life returns, He forces out the thoughts that lead him to his demise, With one last shred of defiance he pulls down for his life! He pulls down for his life! He pulls down for his life! Let the rope break!

Broken faces tread, Lines lead to the grave, Told to quiet down, Coz we are all the fucking same, Lives lost to the cave, Watching shadows play, Those that break their chains, must fight to see the light of day. Beneath this light they'll stay. Never again! We will never give in! We will fight this! We will fight this! Till the end of it all! We will never give up! We will fight this! We will fight! Master's play their games, Humans used as trade, Whipped until we fall, and forced to crawl back to our lanes, Always been this way, So the masters say, Dont put faith in lies, Believe the sun it truly shines. The sun it truly shines. Never again! We will never give in! We will fight this! We will fight this! Till the end of it all! We will never give up! We will fight this! We will fight this! Till the end of it all! We will never give up! We will fight this! We will fight! You can break the chain, Avert your gaze, The shadows they fade, You're stronger, Than they're willing to say. Break from this game. Face the sun to see, What you wont believe, Motives for keeping you still, They will be revealed.
