Taken from new album Get Your Retaliation in First out now only at Indiegogo: igg.me/at/3dbsdown

lyrics

I bite my tongue, play deaf, play dumb, there’s no problem everything’s fine.

Bury my head, roll up play dead I hold my breath, never you mind.

It’s been so long, so far, so wrong since I meant a word of these lies

My mouth open wide and broken words and feelings start to arise.

Truth spilling out on the walls and the ground as they lift up the lid, pull the pin, breaking down.

Criticise all the deceivers. Strapped us in and pulled the lever.

Point howitzer at your feet. Then other people’s misery (is all you need)

You got here by yourself. Nobody helping you, Ignoring all the blood stains on the bottom of your shoes. No hands to help you up. Live through adversity. Then other people’s (misery) is all you need.

I know everyone here is better than you. Are we getting through? it’s sad but true.

I know it’s hard to take but what can you do? Are we getting through to you.

She’s so young and we’re so olden. Whippersnapper, Back in your box!

The humiliation is worth nothing if we’re learning nought.

She gives me a more than adequate sense of inadequacy

Screw pride. Screw shame. We’re all to blame. Searching for some urgency

You’re a bully beating down for money. Are you comfortable with your legacy

People who crave drama are boring. Self-improved or self-destroying.

Doors been shut with lock and key & hide behind it secretly (it will repeat)

There’s clarity of thought. You know it’s making sense. You cannot match the passion of a pure intent. Awakened by the words. The anger in the verse. We hide behind it (secretly) It will repeat.

So what am I to do here, I’ll never make it right?

I’m searching for the signal, I’m walking to the light.

So what can I do? It’s painful cos it’s true.

Too late to make a show. Tell us the truth.
