CONDITIONED
02:53
|
|||
|
You don’t seem to realize
They’ve politicized our lives
Designed to grow the divide
With no plans to reunite
They’re making you follow rules
That only apply to you
You do what they tell you to
So they won’t come for you…
…need to be told what to think (You’ve been conditioned)
So you’re not really thinking (You’re conditioned)
Words have lost their meaning (You’ve been conditioned)
& you’re not really listening (You’re conditioned)
Algorithms have made you numb
& smartphones have made you dumb
It’s just too easy to see your epistemology
You think that you need a team
But things aren’t the way they seem
Cause when they’re done with the rest
They’ll come for you next
You say you care about humans (You’ve been conditioned)
But status’ more important (You’re conditioned)
You want simple solutions (You’ve been conditioned)
So you ignore the problems (You’re conditioned)
You claim to side with science (You’re conditioned)
But you want people silenced (You’ve been conditioned)
Screaming “words are violence” (You’re conditioned)
You’re ever so compliant (You’ve been conditioned)
Can we all agree
Can we all admit
It’s time to snap out of it.

UNDERNEATH
02:43
|
|||
|
Sitting still & I lose my balance
Heavy head, I think I need some space
Can you hear me when I speak in silence?
Can you get out of my face?
Let’s never talk about the things I’m thinking
Or better yet let’s never talk at all
I’m gonna stay behind this mask I’m wearing
I’m gonna stay right behind this wall
Underneath, I can’t breathe
I need you to stay away from me
When you’re near, it’s so clear
There’s nothing wrong with you, it’s always me
I gotta smile, I gotta keep up this front
I’ll never show it but you’re making me jump
I’m disappearing every time that you call
I try my hardest to dissolve in these walls
I’ve got a curse, but it makes no difference
I’ve got a curse, it’s my virulence
I gotta move I gotta keep my distance
I gotta be where you can’t find me
Underneath, I can’t breathe
I need you to stay away from me
When you’re near, it’s so clear
There’s nothing wrong with you, it’s always me
No control over my soul
I need some time inside my mind alone
In my head, I feel dead
Wish I could think but I lose my mind instead
I’d rather be alone
When you’re near
I feel old.

SETUP FROM THE START
02:41
|
|||
|
Can’t wait to say goodbye
We both know I’m not your guy
Look deep into my eyes & baby don’t you cry
Cause this was a mistake
When we don’t bend, we break
& when we break, we ache
I’ll give it to you straight
It felt like a setup from the start
I promise you I won’t fall apart
You can’t break my heart – You can’t break my heart
Why do you think we should try
When we fall short every time?
I can’t keep up with your lies
& your disguises
& now it’s time to leave
When it’s over I don’t grieve
You’ll have to set me free
& just let me be
It felt like a setup from the start
I promise you I won’t fall apart
You can’t break my heart – You can’t break my heart
It felt like a setup from the start
You only served as a missing part
I need to restart
But I know what to do (logged in)
I’ll disconnect from you (plugged in)
Is anything you say ever true (you spin)
I need to restart.

GRUDGE
02:45
|
|||
|
I’m still thinking about it
I still carry it in my head
I’m still pissed off about it
& I think that I want you dead
I’m thinking still, I’m standing still
I know you knew & I can’t move
The things you did, I can’t forgive
The things you said, I can’t forget
Cause every time it plays back in my mind
I see it all too clear, you never were sincere
So maybe you should stay away from me
Can’t stop thinking about it
I still carry it in my head
I’m still pissed off about it
& I think that I want you dead
It’s easy to see right through you
It’s harder to make peace with you
Heart on my sleeve cause I’m too naïve
& I’ve been wrong for way too long
You know the things you say they really stay with me
But it’s the things you hide that make me burn inside
So maybe you should not be by my side.

ERASE YOUR FEAR
02:44
|
|||
|
They’re in your room
Under your bed
Inside your head
I’ll be there soon
Will you be there?
Will you be dead? (Will you be dead)
Can we make things right?
Cause there’s so much wrong
& I’m here to help
Let’s make it through tonight
Let’s make it to tomorrow night instead
I can’t see your face
Because I can’t see past the tears
If I could find the right place
I would make you disappear
Erase your fear
Demons in your room
They’re under your bed
They’re inside your head
Telling you you’re doomed to live in the dark
Of the life you led
I’m searching for that part of you I knew before
I’m searching for that part of you that’s not there anymore
Demons inside your head (Inside your head)
Erase your fear.

FUCK YOUR RULES
03:00
|
|||
|
It ends here
It’s already gone too far
Do you want to start a war?
You keep on redefining who we are
What’s the plan?
Can’t you see you’re running blind
Or is it by design?
When did your kindness become unkind?
Enough with your lies
Enough with your shit
You’ve crossed the line & I’m sick of it
Enough with you - FUCK YOUR RULES
You want to define me, so I say:
FUCK YOUR RULES
You want to control me, so I say:
FUCK YOUR RULES
Don’t you dare
Try to tell me who I am
Try to tell me how to act
You’re the one ignoring simple facts
I don’t care
Red or blue or black or white
I only care about what’s right
& I don’t want to be on any sides
Do you hear yourself talk?
Watch yourself walk?
It’s all make pretend you attention addict
Hypocrite - FUCK YOUR RULES
You want to define me, so I say:
FUCK YOUR RULES
You want to control me, so I say:
FUCK YOUR RULES
You want to censor me, I say:
FUCK YOUR RULES
You want to label me, I say:
FUCK YOUR RULES
The hypocrisy
FUCK YOUR RULES.

BEFORE YOU SAVE US
01:19
|
|||
|
Buzz words & slogans first
You wear them on your shirt
& if that doesn’t work
Maybe we’ll save the Earth
Before you save us maybe you should check yourself
Cause it’s so obvious that you’re an empty shell
You have a lot to say
But do you change your ways?
Cause when it’s time to move
We never hear from you
Before you save us just remember it starts with you
Your reposts & your fake devotion to their views won’t do
When it comes down to it what do you really do?
Would you give up living large & your Apple products too?
To make the oceans blue?
Would you?
Do you?
Did you think this through?
Did you?
Will you?
Before you save us
Before you blame them
Before you preach
Make sure to check yourself.

I'M (NOT) DONE
02:36
|
|||
|
What if I stop the count?
What if I stop – it’s not going to happen
I gotta make this count
I gotta make this
& what if I can’t quit?
I know too well but I can’t live without it
My problem is right here
My problem is my mind
No one cares but the goals were set
I’m not done yet
I can’t forget yet
Too late now cause I’ve placed my bets
I’m not done yet
Cause I’m not dead yet
Why can’t I let this go?
It’s like trying to get rid of my shadow
It’s everything I know
It’s every fucking thing
Too late to turn back now
Not gonna happen & no use in trying
No wishes & no dreams
Too late for everything
It’s over
It’s all over.

ADULTEEN
01:18

True
The things I do when I’m with you
Not classy
Not mature
The things you see when you’re with me
You have to admit
They’re interesting, yeah
I know they’re saying I should act my age
I know what you’re thinking when you see me raging
I know you’re talking – like I’d give one fuck
You think you know me but you’re fresh out of luck
You don’t get the way I dress
& that’s just fine
I’d rather die than wear a tie
So live your life
& I’ll live mine
Cause in the end we all just die
You don’t get to tell me what to do
& you don’t get to tell me what I’m into
You don’t get to judge the way I live
Cause if we’re lucky all we get is to give
Act my age?
You first.

I KNOW IT'S YOU
01:48
|
|||
|
It’s getting hard to keep cool around you
I know you sabotage the things I do
Then you go hiding, always the same thing
You & your click – cause you’re a small town king
Got something to say?
You never say it
Don’t have the balls to say it to my face
You look like a rat & you act like a rat so
I know someday you’ll have to pay it all back
Hiding behind your little phone
Hiding so I don’t break your little bones
No matter what you say
No matter what you try to do
Never forget, I know it’s you
You don’t like to give but you love to take
Maybe that’s why you overcompensate
You talk so much shit
But you’re a real bitch
Cause when it’s time to meet, you just split
I’d love to see you alone
I’d love to see how it goes
It takes a lot out of me
To be around you & not break your nose
Hiding behind your little screen
Hiding just like when you were seventeen
No matter what you say (No matter what you say)
No matter what you try to do
Always remember, I know it’s you.

WHAT SHE DID
03:02
|
|||
|
She got sick of being ignored
She wrote a note she left here by the door
She wanted more
She couldn’t take it anymore
Life was a bore
Was such a war
She couldn’t breathe
Now she’s not breathing anymore
Have you heard what she did?
You’re never gonna see that face again
They laughed & point
They called her whore
She doesn’t have to take it anymore
Unlike before
She doesn’t feel it anymore
She’s on the floor
Her eyes are empty
They’re gonna laugh but she can’t hear them anymore
Have you heard what she did?
You’re never gonna see that face again (You’re never gonna see that face again)
She’s on the floor
They called her whore
But they’re not laughing anymore
Life was a bore
Was such a war
She doesn’t need it anymore
She’s on the floor
Her eyes are empty
They used to laugh but they’re not laughing anymore
Not anymore.

OUT OF MY HEAD
03:51
|
|||
|
Dwell on it night & day
These feelings that took over me
Panic, horror, dismay & so much anxiety
& now it’s at the point
Where I would do most anything
To get some inner peace
A break from suffering
& no one hears me
& no one cares
I get so embarrassed cause you think I’m unbreakable
But I feel weak & perished & so incapable
Can’t handle my stress level
Can’t handle much more misery
& if I’m not too careful I just might lose me
& maybe you could help
But you don’t, so…
I can’t think so get out of my head
I can’t function – get out of my head
I can’t speak so get out of my head
Can’t you see it’s just me in my head?
I hide being this mask
You never get to see my face
Can’t let you see who I am or I’ll have to be replaced
If I could wish right now
I would wish to break this spell
Seems unavoidable that this will not end well
I wish I could change
But I can’t, so…
(If you weren’t so upset, I wouldn’t be so obsessed)
(If you weren’t so obsessed, I wouldn’t be so upset)
Out of my head.
