While She Sleeps
Album • 2012
Surrounding me is a picture of a world gone wrong Paved with sickness and the broken young Count the saved, count the graves Count the cuts and taste the blood of the rain They are the worthless unforgiving, the murdered amongst the living So why spend your time, waiting and wishing and praying for a better living Oh, when you're force-fed their decisions You'll all just get bitten again I can't piece together the problems, I'm telling you to think for yourself I can't put peace in the violence; I'm not going to fight it I can feel the breath on the back of my neck I'm spitting blood to get your voice out of my head I'm feeding on the pain of the sick, the needle and the hospital bed We are nothing like these creatures Guilty, scarred, I can't forget You starve pride to feed your selfishness We are nothing like these creatures Guilty, scarred, I can't forget You still feed the hunger leading you to your death You'll give it up when you've got no time left You're breeding in a national debt You starve pride to feed your selfishness Surrounding me is a picture of a world gone wrong Paved with sickness and the broken young Count the saved, count the graves Count the cuts and taste the blood in the rain Have we given up? Should we hang our bastard young? To save them from the nothing that so many have become We're all dead behind the eyes, we're just dreaming of a better life We're all dead behind the eyes, we're just dreaming of a better life We are nothing like these creatures Guilty, scarred, I can't forget You starve pride to feed your selfishness We are nothing like these creatures Guilty, scarred, I can't forget I let the bastards surround me I let the bastards surround me I let the bastards surround me

I've lost too many times to see This crooked cross will never save me Fuck belief, this is reason We won't know what is next till we're gone I'm glad I'm on my own, I'm glad I'm on my own I'm happy knowing I've got nothing to prove I'm glad I'm on my own, I'm glad I'm on my own Alive and knowing I've got nothing to lose I've lost too many times to see This crooked cross will never save me Fuck belief, this is reason I look to open skies and see The net of safety tied down on me No more than common myth To help you through the life you live I'll put my hands up high, I'm never gonna need the burden I'll put my hands up high, I'm never gonna need to worship Let's put an end to this, I'm never gonna need the burden Let's put an end to this, I'm never gonna need to worship Worship, worship Our guided, our given The force-feeding, false freedom Our guided, our given The force-feeding, false freedom Our guided, our given Fed to the sun for all you're worth without a reason The force-feeding, false freedom Let's find the meaning of peace, let's find a reason to live Our guided, our given Fed to the sun for all you're worth without a reason The force-feeding, false freedom Let's find the meaning of peace, let's find a reason to live

What a life, what a fucking war I left my greed outside, hung my hopes at the door No religion means no wishing on nothing, never a broken promise No hope for the hopeful Let's give it all and take it back from the masses Let their guilt take a seat with their sadness We're all better off, it's clear in the dust We're not giving this up I lay my head in the gutter where the sinister rest I find faith in sickness and death Hold me down, keep me bottled up, we're strong enough If you're sick of feeling useless, sick enough to do this If honesty gets the better of me, I'm satisfied in suffering If you hate the hand you hold, but you hate to be alone Stop blaming the sadness you gave in to We've been burdened all along We've been burdened all along We've been burdened all along When all that you have is all that you'll ever know Are you living? All that you have is all that you'll ever know This is from the bottom I don't want to admit But I can see the safety in admitting defeat This is not a problem or a promise I'll break It's just another ghost I know I'll never erase I see the safety in giving this up I see the safety but it's never enough I see the safety in giving this up I see the safety but it's never enough

This is for the times I don't want to forget To anyone who has a bitter regret For the ones who ever call me a fake I bit my tongue for your sake Keep me strong for holding on Keep us together after we're gone I know our struggle is distance and pace We learnt that in the choice we made My home, made by the people surrounding me Our place, our everything I know there's people in the places I've been Who I know I'll never find again I know there's people in the places I've been Who I know I'll never find again I'll never find again I'll never find again I'll never find again I'll never find again Until the end of me, our dying day Our place of rest in a silent grave The life I lead, the greed I've seen The pain alive in the honesty I know there's people in the places I've been Who I know I'll never find again I know there's people in the places I've been Who I know I'll never find again This is for the times I'll never forget For the memories we pour down our necks For the ones who take our name after us For the pain we call love Our homes are broken by bottles and bones And those who don't have strength to go on Our homes are broken by bottles and bones And those who don't have strength to go on We are five amongst the rest Lay the six across our chest The seven hills we keep within Under our skin from start to end We are five amongst the rest Lay the six across our chest The seven hills we keep within Under our skin from start to end

From hospitals to honesty And everything you need of me I'll be there, I'll be there From hospitals to honesty And everything you need of me I'll be there, I'll be there If this was your last chance To say what you needed to And give them every thought in a verse Could you stomach the hurt? Could you stomach the healing word? From hospitals to honesty And everything that you need of me I'll be there My inspiration My guidance My home We think of you with love And speak of you with pride Does your heart pull on your throat like mine? I will try to live without you by my side I will look up to the stars So you will forever see The best part of you Still lives in me The north stands for nothing The true and the trusting The east's everlasting The cracked and the rusting The south is the salt That will seal your sores The west is the weakness The strength to defeat us The time took for granted The before and the after For questions and your answers Our courage, our cancer The time took for granted The before and the after For questions and your answers Our courage, our cancer

I'm going to tell you straight Between the struggle and the heartache There's a bitter taste, the bitter taste of a better place We burn, we bleed, we won't give up on our dreams This suffering means more to me We burn, we bleed, we won't give up on our dreams I, I will put my strength in numbers Strength in numbers I'm going to tell you straight Between the struggle and the heartache There's a bitter taste, the bitter taste of a better place Convincing ourselves we can see through the pain But still I find hate, it heals me We convinced our loved ones they were never to blame For the promise we made We can sleep in our own grave We're alive in our own way For every time I live my life in regret I find my pride in having nothing left We're all better off respecting those in the cemetery If you're one of us, turn your fist to the monarchy I will put my strength in numbers, this is the six This is the six We'll put our strength in numbers, this is the six This is the six I'm holding out for what I believe (for what I believe) Have we given up or just gave it away? (just gave it away?) I will take forever to love the part of this I hate (this I hate) I will get the best of us, to make the better of me Convincing ourselves we can see through the pain But still I find hate, it heals me We convinced our loved ones they were never to blame For the promise we made We can sleep in our own grave We're alive in our own way For every time I live my life in regret I find my pride in having nothing We can sleep in our own grave We're alive in our own way For every time I live my life in regret I find my pride in having nothing left

When all the bodies will burn I’m grieving for the minds of the missed, but if you won't miss forever Then all the bodies will burn into the hands of a broken heart We are the black youth, try and tear us apart I don’t belong in this, this is the furthest I can get to try and deal with it And after all the pain they inflict, we have no blood but we have a purpose Can you feel it take, take, take? All you fucking do is take, take, take And the fools at the front slide their guns through the gates You call this a messiah but we're not broken You've got problems but you won't solve them Broken, like the back of the bastard youth So fuck the law, 'cause we wrote the order We might be the gutter of society but to ourselves we have a promise to keep Call us worthless, call us cheap But we know we can and we will if we're told no again We should but we won't because we're in it for them Fuck the law, we wrote the order Fuck the bridge because we built the borders I'd rather take my life than believe I'd rather rot with the answers Fuck the law we wrote the order Fuck the bridge 'cause we built the borders I'd rather take my life than believe I'd rather rot with the answers And you take, and you take, and you take And you take, you always keep taking, always keep taking from me Can you feel it take, take, take? All you fucking do is take, take, take And the fools at the front slide their guns through the gates You call this a messiah, well I call it a murder Can you feel it? This is a personal promise, the burden upon us Can you feel it? This is a personal promise, the burden upon us Fuck the law, we wrote the order Fuck the bridge 'cause we built the borders

I put my trust in poison, to teach me how to live I put my trust in darkness, to teach me how to see This is for those who followed the free To the end of the true and the trusting Spit back in the safe, I found life in death I chose my pain alone with honesty My home, my hate, have grown inside of me We keep our past inside our reasons, we never gave up on us Now we are the grateful bleeding that live today Dictation reigns in, our hope will never change a thing I chose six until the death, not a slave into the world I chose sickness over health and it saved me every time I chose six until the death, not a slave into the world I chose sickness over health and it saved me every time I chose this until the death, not a slave into the world I chose sickness over health and it saved me every time Not alive with a reason, not hit by the need to refuse I got called into freedom with the lost hordes and the blackest of youth I put my trust in poison to teach me how to live You're following to find your way into a worthless victory Six until the death, not a slave into the world I chose sickness over health and it's saved me every time When I can't breath I know it's got the best of me When I can't breath, the six will set me free I put my trust in poison, teach me how to live Our hate inside our peace I put my trust in darkness, teach me how to see The hate that swallows the streets

They gave their selves to the streets, they saved They took the challenge to keep our faith They gave their selves to the streets, they saved They took the challenge to keep our faith We can't imagine the way, we can't imagine the day They put their hate in the waves, they put their heart in the way They gave their selves to the streets, they saved They fought to keep our faith Cut their life away from safe, to save Leave the blind alone in the reign But I know I couldn't be taught to die with pride, for queen or country I know I couldn't be taught to die, not another slave to the hive, not another slave to the hive I've seen the names, I'm not young and afraid, the numbers the same They could decide when we die but we decide what we defend We sing the sorrow of the dead from our souls And hope that they found peace, dying alone We sing the sorrow of the dead from our souls And hope that they found peace, dying alone Cut their life away from safe, to save The mindless freedom puts our nation to shame Are you grateful of the graves? I speak the words of a weathered man, there's blood on the streets that my son walks down If we suffered for this, I has to change They gave their selves to the streets, they saved They took the challenge to keep our faith They gave their selves to the streets, they saved They took the challenge to keep our faith Carry on, carry on Carry on, carry on Carry on, carry on Carry on, carry on

What's become of the wars they won? A pride idled population Speak up For the life left inside our nation The river runs red! It's black at the bottom and there we know nothing Where the souls of the forgotten are resting in need But the human race and the fate on which they pray Are dying today, in the plague of a new age Pile the bodies up, burn them when they're young We'll still be singing, the sorrow lives on Take your part of the blame Find your fix, take what you can Steal from the palm of a dying hand We feed on the flag, we murdered the land, broken our way, It's time to take your part of the blame Cancer feeds, hatred breeds, the children cry themselves to sleep Cancer feeds, hatred breeds, the children cry themselves to sleep I'll hold my own Unbroken and better off Our plight to save, reside the stray There's nothing left but tyranny I'll find truth in the end, I'm not dying again I'm hurt but surviving decent It's black at the bottom and there we know nothing Where the souls of the forgotten are resting in need But the human race and the fate on which they pray Are dying today, in the plague of a new age But the human race and the fate on which they pray Are dying today, in the plague of a new age We've got nothing to lose, we've got nothing to gain We've got nothing to lose, we've got nothing to gain

The north still stands for nothing But the streets don't feel the same We are the keepers of broken promise In a nation that will never change The north still stands for nothing But the streets don't feel the same We are neighbours of broken promise In a nation that will never change The north still stands for nothing But the streets don't feel the same We are the neighbours of broken promise In a nation that will never change
