Destroying what they created this oppressive state that we’re in Here, capitalism rules and power is abused, is abused. Greed fuelled lies and corruption environmental destruction No wealth distribution; this system is polluted The system is pollution, so what is the solution? Cos we’re the fucking problem, cos we fucking allow them It’s time for us to realise, where the problem and solution lies.

Our Freedom is disappearing The future, a draconian past We have got to act now. The Iron Fist is coming down.

Blackout 03:45
Sold their souls to the oligarchies Used as pawns in their pity parties Holding mother natures fuel to ransom By candlelight, they’ll eat rations Turn blind eyes to a vicious regime Bet our lives on global indices. Like loan sharks clawing back a favour Stem their funds, we’ll naively endeavour. Dropping bombs with no empathy Children torn from their families Cults brainwashed by wealth draining horders Without a soul, they shut down their borders Blackout for their power Blackout for their greed Blackout for their wars Blackout for the elite x 2 Sold their souls to the oligarchies Used as pawns in their pity parties Holding mother natures fuel to ransom By candlelight, they’ll eat rations Turning blind eyes to a vicious regime Bet our lives on global indices. Like loan sharks clawing back a favour Stem their funds, we’ll naively endeavour. Blackout for their power Blackout for their greed Blackout for their wars Blackout for the elite x 2

I spend each day in fear of the Hyde that resides within me. I tremble as the rage that I felt, engulf my body. The warm-hearted Jekyll, trapped in each shard of glass, lies on the kitchen floor, a vague reflection of the person I used to adore. A shrinking violet self-isolated from ones that I hurt. Cut off from the world, devoid of anger, nowhere that I can turn Rage-filled and face contorted, I became those who abused me, poisoned with drug-fuelled hate, upper lip stained red, nose lining bloody, and septum inflamed. With each conflict and debate, I lose my ability to think critically, and I scream incoherent sentences as my mammalian brain engages. From the injustices of the world, I barricade myself away, riddled with shame, of my ignorance and cessation of giving voices to the unheard.

Through the torture and pain, I lie in wait for the day to come when I can face him again, to tame him with a compassionate tongue and ignite my once burning rage. IGNITE MY BURNING RAGE Through the torture and the pain Barricade myself away. With Each conflict and debate Ignite my burning rage.

Twisting and turning, that knife in my back I bet you never thought that I’d claw back from the depths. I’ll tell you now that your vitriol gave me more strength That’s right. I’m back from the dead Draining and sucking the life from my soul I bet you never thought that I’d lose control like that. I sat and watch while faux tears fell to my grave I’m back, baby. feel my rage. Nails red raw as I claw out of my grave, hell hath no fury, baby; feel my rage Only way to survive (in spite of you) Only way I could thrive (in spite of you) X 2 Only way to survive (in spite of you) Only way I could thrive (in spite of you) X 2 Twisting and turning, that knife in my back I bet you never thought that I’d claw back from the depths.
