You got some fuckin nerve to deny us You systematically deprive us Indifference rooted deep in bias Your lies are obvious you know your role Renounce our faith In saints disgraced Who subjugate With no restraint Won't tolerate It's in our face we're gonna run you out of town You know we're gonna run you out of town Show us some respect Renounce our faith In saints disgraced Who subjugate With no restraint Won't tolerate It's in our face You'll hear us say Fuck you, you've lost today

If I start this rant to myself I know my blood will boil, my work'll seem pointless. You'll seem smug, even though you're somewhere else. I hate your ghost, that part of you is dead it's just inside my head. My mind refuses to let go. Dragging up the past is a dangerous game. Forever second guessing set plays. I still don't know which one to blame. When we met, your eyes were like the sunrise When you left, I just watched you like the sunset Now the days are what they never would have been And you may have sent me on my way but I won't come crawling back again

"Baby, it's late or something I ate. The dog was watching, or perhaps a headache." Some of us use booze, take pills that are blue Don't choose what they want, don't want what they choose. "I swear this never happens every single time" Medicate Cause you can't face yourself yet Get out of the lake If you don't want to get wet Woah it's a man's game I want to dive in the river Can't swim

Circuit Dive 03:56
In a dim lit room with an open floor and some stamps and cash swapped at the door we gather counter culture. Pushed to the corner of the scene while apathy goes mainstream. Circle pits, circling vultures. Another stage, another overused PA I wouldn't trade it for the world tonight If it's the alternative to buying in to popular demand for what a band should look and sound like. Fight back with your independence, what they offer is condescending when there's just no need to compromise. In here we can hear the change we crave with less bullshit getting in the way. A change from the industries of lies everyday Ya the best shit still survives in shady dives where what you hear is what you get. It's the last stand of the unknown bands whose integrity won't be overcome yet This rounds for you

Corrupt Plutocracy, you lack transparency, don't fuckin count on me. Well I don't vote cause I won't bring a knife to a gunfight I can't feign attention while they pretend to explain themselves to us all. I don't doubt it's an empty gesture dress recital. Like the grand opening of a business to govern business as usual. All they're built on are shareholders, threats of war, and the people who elect reality TV stars Well you're in my face cause I waste my "civic privilege" I got a right to complain even if I won't play your broken game And I'm not jaded, but where's my choice? When none of these oily-handshake-jokes would risk their corporate funding to get my vote? Fuck their campaign, campaign for the truth

Flagship 02:47
I used to think that I could help. maybe I still can turn the tides, but I can't tell. Or take another loan out to support an understated cultural groundswell. I can hear them laughing at the bank. That sponsorship has sailed and sank. The writing's on the wall, but the right side of my brain can't make out the words at all. Cut to the bone, blood from a stone All on the line, ready to die, fighting to live Restraining, I'm straining my voice Creating, creating a choice
