'...sometimes, I cry for no reason at all'

Lyrics

Life is pain
So inhale the numbness
Exhale, revel in dumbness
Choices choices
Cooperate obliterate
Alone, as one
Together we suffer
We’ll never be more than a number
You’ll break
Hide away, medicate

Doctor please, I don’t want, to be
Like this or like that but like them
Cos sometimes
I cry for no reason, at all

It’s our own fault
This life’s what you’re living

Count to ten, back from ten
Breathe in out, in and out
Walls of shrinks closing in
Therapist, I have sinned

Open wide
Effects aside
Don’t you long to feel like
Everyone else, it’s all the rage, swallow the hype
Change my mind
By design
Fold and bend
So I can
Fit the roles I’m not supposed to

Everybody’s screaming
There’s gotta be meaning
With all of these opinions I’m crawling on the ceiling
Scrolling is my heroin
Comparing’s how I better me
Constant self belittling
What is that you think of me

HEY! You’re not that bad a guy

Fuck me harder
I thought you knew that I am capable, more than capable of murdering
I am a monster
You’re fresh blood to me. 
Don’t struggle and let me peel you off, show you, you bask in sin

Come in, sit on the couch
And tell me
When did this start

I know
Everyone’s crazier than me
If only
They would believe

Lock and load, here we go
Used to be need to know but
I’m not well, I need help
Life is hell, life is hell

Open wide
Forced inside
Don’t you long to feel like
Everyone else, it’s all the rage, swallow the hype
Erase my mind
No rewind
Fold and bend
So I can fit this
Grave of your design

BROWN boy

'Nobody's the colour they want'

Lyrics

Tongue’s are bombs, words are nuclearised
Cultural prose stand like soldiers in lines
Whilst your children they kill themselves, yeah
I don’t know if these walls, will not crumble

But we don’t need
To break the skin
Words are violence
When I
Scream through you

I’m a half at least a white boy, black boy
But you’ll never be the same as them boy, you clone boy
Sticks and stones familiar tricks boy, so don’t miss boy
Don’t talk about your love for dick boy, sick boy
It’s us versus them boy, you hear boy
There’s nobody gonna shed a tear for you, brown boy, when you die boy

Rainbows choke my output
Oppressed, opressor, tyrant
MAN I’m all that you need

List the parts that I’m allowed to love
What is it of me you see when the lights are off
Quick to Hush my mouth when I, open up
Is it me or just the skin, you love

Nobody’s the colour they want
Nobody’s the colour they want
Nobody’s the colour they want
Nobody’s the colour they want

Dark grass can’t grow
His mouth’s shut, why’s his mouth shut
When we’re starved of light
Her mouth’s shut, why’s her mouth shut
So don’t wait too long
Your mouth’s shut, why’s your mouth shut
Rise above the divide
Take. Sides.

If ‘we’ win
We all LOSE
