Inside The Machine

This bus is cold, it reminds me of you
It rattles and shakes just like the chains of youth
And just like I always say I could have been
Just like you
But in the end I fell astray
Away from the curse of conformity
Just like I should
Just like you could
Would you go if you had the chance?
I'll pull apart
All the boundaries set in our stones
I'll never wait for you
Kneeling before nobody's throne
Inside the machine
Lie dark truths of a dehumanising routine
So I'll stand and watch you fall
This town is dead your hopes are too
At least that's what I can see
From all the things that you do
And I can see through
That transparent smile hiding the truth
The truth is we're turned to captivity
And even my wandering mind cannot stray
But I know I will overcome
Would you fight if you couldn't run?
Fight if you couldn't run?
I'll pull apart
All the boundaries set in our stones
I'll never wait for you
Kneeling before nobody's throne
Inside the machine
Lie dark truths of a dehumanising routine
So I'll stand and watch you fall
I'll stand and watch you fall
I'll stand and watch you fall
I'll stand and watch you fall

I Capsize

I want to climb to the highest peaks
I want to sing until my heart stops beating
And if I wait for the day to arise
Then I'll capsize
I don't want to take the back seat
I want to scream until my lungs are defeated
I've walked those dead end roads before
And it was no surprise
That I capsized
You know I've strayed into the darkness before
Oh, the hours spent trying to find
What I was looking for
I found a way out but I couldn't find a cure
Just give me a reason
Or show me the door
I want to break the mould
I want the new to replace the old
You realised that I won't be told anymore of your lies
And so capsized
I'll tell you now it's now or never
I want to take the first road out
And ride forever
There's no hope left in this town anymore
And I'll tell you why
'Cause it capsized
You know I've strayed into the darkness before
Oh, the hours spent trying to find
What I was looking for
I found a way out but I couldn't find a cure
Just give me a reason
Or show me the door
So I can leave
Steal away
While I've still got a chance
While nothing stands in the way
While the sky is sitting clear
The sun will light my way
If you wait for me
I'll hang on every word you say
But I could never hear you say, no
You were always much too far away
And I was left like an abandoned ship
At the bottom of the ocean
Where I'll learn to live again

Here's To The Last
03:37

Deeper inside
The foundations of thought
Suppressed ideas
Find their feet in the sand
But still with no caution
The door will always shut behind me
My head in the sand
My hands behind your back
My future's been assigned
I'm fixing to survive
Come join me inside my mind
See the walls that hold me in
Captivity
Here's to the last of us to pretend
Captivity
Is a state on which we need
To depend
To find and finally understand ourselves
Behind bars and closed eyes
I'm lost in the fold
Sold out to be drawn from the black
Rip skin from skin
For the plague is back
Colourless bars a code
Stretched across your skin
In captivity
Here's to the last of us to pretend
Captivity
Is a state on which we need
To depend
To find and finally understand ourselves
Behind bars and closed eyes

The Need To Belong

Why do you feel the need to belong?
When you're designed by lies, corporate minds
You can do no wrong
So when my boat was drifting out to sea
You cut off the chains you set me free
I can't help believing we've been doing this
For far too long
I can't change the way that I feel
About the people that wait and wait
And never seal the deal
24 hours in the day
I got bored of waiting, having nothing to say for myself
Failure is kicking my heels
You've been blinded
By the need to belong
You've got to ask yourself
Am I really the one that's
Doing it wrong?
I'm not sorry if I'm coming across a little strong
I couldn't fit all my anger into one song
If you could only open your eyes
You'd see that only flying with the flock
Means you're always compromised
Look at the things we could have been
If we hadn't got caught up in between
Reality and our disguise
You've been blinded
By the need to belong
You've got to ask yourself
Am I really the one that's
Doing it wrong?
I'm not sorry if I'm coming across a little strong
I couldn't fit all my anger into one song
And these days will carry on
And I will follow
With these endless days I move along
I move away from a life so hollow
And the emptiness will never mean a thing
If we're moving on
And moving away
We're moving forward every day
Don't keep your boats in the bay
