So What?

I won't be nervous when everybody around us says, "God, we don't deserve this" and begs before they accept our fate I want the world but I'm not prepared to work for a change I think I'd rather be dead I'm not anti-social, I'm anti-bullshit I'm not anti-social, I'm anti-bullshit You're gonna follow like a freelance sucker of the next biggest trend We're pissing into the wind, to be heard by the indifferent Shit talker, you've double crossed your own You're gonna suffer like a rat in the smoke How the hell am I supposed to know "We're only human" is a valid excuse For why my mind is polluted? Do you want the truth or do you want to assume it? I'm not anti-social, I'm anti-bullshit I'm not anti-social, I'm anti-bullshit So raise it up, up, up if you're sick of these fake smile politics Up, up if you're sick of this race we're running What're you living for if you can't even feel it? What is living without letting go? How the hell am I supposed to know "We're only human" is a valid excuse For why my mind's polluted? Do you want the truth or do you want to assume it? Serves you right, to justify the face that keeps you up at night The mask you wear to cover it up and we can see it in your eyes Serves you right, to justify the face that keeps you up at night The mask you wear to cover it up and I can see it in your eyes I'm sick of the sound I'm sick of the hand we've been dealt Sick from the drugs that they tell me to take I'm sick of the drugs that we take to rebel I'm sick of corruption in wealth Sick of corruption itself Sick of division in colour, religion When we're all the same (We're all the same We're all the same We're all the same) I'm not anti-social, I'm anti-bullshit I'm not anti-social, I'm anti-bullshit Just leave it alone My head's about to explode So sick of the same sound syndrome Thank fuck for headphones

We won't give up We'll wait just a little more We'll bite our tongues This pain that we can't ignore (Whoa-oh-oh) Tell me a reason to carry on (Whoa-oh-oh) When all I can see is the cracks in the wall (Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh) Maybe we're all insignificant Pulling in different directions To the edge of this prison Are we living in hell? Reluctant, never the culprit A stick in the mud We're so self-destructive We're never gonna wake, never gonna wake up Even if I say what's on my mind I fear I waste my time So please don't mind me If I take my time I've seen it all And I've felt nothing Don't want no more So show me your sins I've seen it all And I've found nothing When all I can see is the cracks in the wall No direction like the paths that I walk Through the fading light of all we've destroyed The siren sings that song we adore And we won't wake up If we can't break or scratch the surface Redefine the words we obey If we idolise our burdens We're never gonna wake, never gonna wake up Maybe we're all insignificant Pulling in different directions To the edge of this prison Are we living in hell? Our homes like galleries We decorate the walls with our sins Our lives so fragile But we live like we're invincible I've seen it all And I've felt nothing Don't want no more So show me your sins I've seen it all And I've felt nothing Don't want no more So show me your sins I've seen it all And I've found nothing When all I can see is the cracks in the wall (We know something's wrong) But we still carry on We won't give up We'll wait just a little more Tell me a reason (Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh)

If this is the epitome of our species I can't see the forest for the trees If we don't heal before we realise The scale of the problem within Tell me that you're okay not knowing Will you fall into the ether with me? If only we could feel complete without it Will you let it in? To the west, to the west Economy before acceptance A worth over intelligence We all can be accepted in hell If we're going nowhere You know that they don't care We are the symptoms of a careless empire Disorder; your web swings catching everything As far as I can see We are draped in the diminishing But nothing's as it seems To the west, to the west Economy before acceptance A worth over intelligence We all can be accepted in hell If we're going nowhere You know that they don't care We are the symptoms of a careless empire We've been grazed by the outbreak We've been nettled by the fakes Snakes and mistakes and time again we've shown You can't even wait till the dust has settled Run straight with your head down from the battle Are you safe jumping in a grave you can't dig yourself out of? Why'd you have to wait till the warning comes in avalanche form? Should've put your hands up but you thought you better point the blame Either way, it points back and you can't escape If this is the epitome of our species I can't see the forest for the trees If we don't heal before we realise The scale of the problem within And if I inspire you, you inspire me We're breaking the mould together You set me free And I inspire you, you inspire me We're breaking the mold together You set me free To the west, to the west Economy before acceptance A worth over intelligence We all can be accepted in hell If we're going nowhere You know that they don't care We are the symptoms of a careless empire

Everywhere I turn, there's a life on the line A cure for a price and fuck it, there's an elephant in the room Turn the page, another headline that you already knew Paint the picture of a lie behind the truth We're on a flatline in a sorry state of affairs Losing the will to live like we're going nowhere They put the frighteners on us but we all hide something Enough is enough I keep asking myself why us? Enough is enough I keep killing myself because You said we're only as strong as the fears we confront on the way They won't find me praying for a hero that hides like our tears from the pain While the angels sing "Everything will be okay" Cross my fingers, point the blame (I don't believe a word they say) "Everything will be okay" Cross my fingers, point the blame (I don't believe a word they say) I'd like to think that I don't believe in anything I'm just a heathen in disbelief And I know, when I'm desperate I still call, don't we all?

Tell me, does it set you free? And if it does then you don't need to speak I can see it in your eyes, it's all you need And now that I feel alive without needing to justify the meaning Tell me, does it set you free? Tell me, does it set you free? Liberate me! We came from nothing but the truth, we won't fall for your excuses Each disguise gets more obvious We'll see right through it All I believe is the way we treat each other comes 'round Back around What if I told you we won't take no for an answer? Hope your system has a plan to withstand us What if I told we don't fit your demographic? We can see through the mask you hide beneath Where are you now That all your lies are crumbling? No time for secrets I've heard it all, believe me When I say the walls are paper thin We can hear everything And you don't need to speak at all It feels like it's all been said before You're no longer on your own I'll feel it all when I sleep tonight I've seen it all but I can't see the light Lead me astray this time I've seen it all What if I told you we won't take no for an answer? Hope your system has a plan to withstand us What if I told we don't fit your demographic? We can see through the mask you hide beneath Tell me, does it set you free?
