My mum asked me recently do you ever just switch off but there’s palm oil in everything and I’ve got a chronic cough there's warnings in the paper not to breathe the fucking air and white supremacist terrorists won’t be stopped with thoughts and prayers The rich won't pay their taxes but the poor get sent to jail and the rest of us pick up the slack when the bank’s too big to fail There’s children kept in cages their abusers all walk free everyone just turns their head it’s not effecting me the NHS is failing at the hands of tory scum I weep for failed America it’s a sign of what’s to come if you wanna have a baby still then contemplate it’s worth $10 000 each at least to overpopulate this earth the planets fucking burning and those with sway don’t care it’s up to us to foot the bill now that’s not very fair the media’s not mediating Murdoch’s made his bed just suppress the voters now democracy is dead Black lives fucking matter Now watch how you respond Neutrality is violence You’ve been silent for too long Our Trans brothers and sisters Need our voices in the fight You feel attacked because you’re wrong It’s not because you’re white The times they keep on changing And you try to block the way This fighting for equality Is every single day We are all responsible This world is fucking ours It’s time to strip authority From all abusive powers The queen is just for tourists So let’s sell her fucking crown our rents are on the rise again and the pound’s way fucking down The numbers just keep going up on people sleeping rough But they re defined poverty and claimed they’d done enough so we’re eating out of food banks and working till were dead it’s getting harder to resist I can’t get out of bed My old man’s a dustman He’ll work until he’s dead He’ll grind his bones into the ground to make his daily bread Oh my old mans a dustman He’ll work until he’s dead He’ll grind his bones into the ground to make his daily bread Oh my old mans a dustman He’ll work until he’s dead He’ll grind his bones into the ground to make his daily bread

we can shout 03:46
If it ain’t broke then don’t fix it but it's broke beyond a joke to the point we’ve come to risk it falling apart at societies seams when unseasonal winds carry unfortunate screams we need money we need money for a roof were you lying dying hungry or denying the truth these are the things we cant do without we can break it from the inside out we can shout 
we can shout 
we can shout 
we can shout 
we can shout 
we can shout 
We can break it from the inside out They want you blind or mute ignorance was surely bliss but you know the truth trickling water to the hopeless running water for health I’m not so hopeful it will trickle from your off shore wealth we need humanity who the hell disagrees how many ways your politician pays to put you down on your knees these are the things we need to do without when we break it from the inside out we can shout 
we can shout 
we can shout 
we can shout 
we can shout 
we can shout 
We can break it from the inside out I cant breathe so I sink you think you’re paying them to teach you and they’ll teach you to think? I’m drowning in the depths of your apathy and fear one way for another I am getting out of here we need help but you ask it of a crook who let you die and you cry and your tear blinds your eye he never gave a fuck these are the things we cant afford to doubt we’re gonna to break it from the inside out we can shout 
we can shout 
we can shout 
we can shout 
we can shout 
we can shout 
We can break it from the inside out

Gold Girl 02:25
mask me in your fantasy let me reflect all you want to see take me farther than the eyes make it hard for me to cry cover me in sheets of gold leave only glitter in this mould our eyes will not be bought or sold just take us from this painful cold fly fly let me fly failing that just let me die ignorance was surely bliss now let me fly away from this let me float far far out to sea abandon it all and I’l finally be free take a gulp and swallow me I’l find comfort when i no longer see Gold Girl Gold Girl wring the colour from my gaze and leave me in this empty haze from the darkness set me ablaze and push me through the final phase red, gold, I’m crystal clear nothing on me but a blatant fear you could shatter me with a single tear it feels the end is creeping near Gold Girl Gold Girl

you’ve got bags under your eyes like I’v got under mine I guess that you have not been sleeping it’s a symptom of our time 
theres just way too much stimulation too much noise and information 
and you cant switch off your head and your fed up with masturbation 
please don’t hate yourself for your insomnia it’s just not healthy I also lie awake at night and imagine I was wealthy Or I had a little bit more money so I wasn’t stressed I could lie on feather pillows, memory foam that would the best One day things wont be quite so bad and you will not hate yourself As much as on these sleepless nights kept wide eyed by your mental health these panic attacks will fade and stop and you will breath more clearly you’ll realise you’re not alone and someone loves you dearly You will find the best in you Lose the worst bits slowly There is time still to discover the best in you I know It can feel so lonely. I know It would help if only You could sleep tonight. I make lists in my head things like everyone I’ve slept with 
or the places that I’ve visited or places that I wished I did Sometimes I pretend I’m in a tent and it is raining 
Or I’m in a cabin on a ship that someone else is sailing I write songs like this one or another one you might have heard 
It helps to think of syllables, rhymes if you can find the words 
It doesn’t help to go on emails instagram or Facebook 
but I usually cant help myself and have to have at least one look I’m kept awake by my regrets and secrets that I’m keeping 
I’m kept awake by guilt about the fact that I’m not sleeping I’m kept awake by scrolling trolling ass holes make me crazy kept awake because I spent my day being so lazy Will I ever sleep again I can’t even remember What it felt like when I used to sleep so well I hope I’m not always lonely. I know it would help if only I could sleep tonight. One day things wont be quite so bad and I will not hate myself As much as on these sleepless nights kept wide eyed by my mental health these panic attacks will fade and stop and I will breath more clearly and realise I’m not alone and some one loves me dearly I will find the best in me Let me breathe more slowly There is time still to allow myself 
the rest I need

The truth is leaving you your youth is leaving you I believe in you but you are seething you are fading away and craving the day your hating won't make you whole This drink is saving you the hurt is craving you but they are paving you a road that leads you but you’re fading the same and making a name your hating won’t make you whole so stop. Just end it here you don’t need this fear it’s true you’re nowhere near it’s true you’re nowhere near to filling this hole filling this hole filling this hole

scarred 02:10
shake me shake me try to wake me from these bonds that try to break me why do I feel so alone when all these faceless bodies feel like home I’m over this I’m over you tonight I’m trying something new I do my best to swallow stone with no direction in this endless hole remember what it’s like to lose control? I’m coming up, I’m crashing hard
I’m coming up, I’m crashing hard
I’m coming up, I’m crashing hard
this night is gonna leave me scarred Maybe we’re just passing through and just to say it makes it true why do I still feel so lost? I sought this out, I always knew the cost I’m right here where I wanna be that’s a choice you made for me breathing in can sting the brain now swallow hard I have no words on pain remember what it’s like to feel this way? I’m coming up, I’m crashing hard
I’m coming up, I’m crashing hard
I’m coming up, I’m crashing hard
this night is gonna leave me scarred
