1.
You talk about your problems As if you hate your role But The safety of your privilege Awaits you when you fall No efforts made to understand When it's not about you, you don't mind it The struggles real, but not for you Turning a blind eye again, nothing new No opinions, no words when the proof of violence bleeds into the streets Yet you raise your voice, arm yourself to the teeth when you think your privilege is becoming weak How long can you keep it up, keep believing that we're all the same A badge covered in blood is the truth, this footage might be new to you but still your mind won't change, nothing has changed
2.
Walking down these streets remind me of what I left behind Wasted so much time questioning how I could better get in line Years of tired hate consuming difference questioning myself Running on daily reminders of what I'm thought of by broken heads These faded streets A place where hatred surges through the roots These weathered faces Breeding proud allegiance, not my thing Got out in time never looking back, wasted my time trying to find, a single reason why it shouldn't burn to the ground
3.
Ex-Member 01:35
I won't let you make up the rules Conform to your tired idea of taste I won't let you preach to me about who I should be Cuz I don't know who you know and who knows me Keep your elitist club, keep your judgmental call outs, I don't care for your ex-members bullshit You are not the first, and you won’t be the last You haven't changed a bit, so I'm changing it for myself
4.
Losing 01:31
Losing my mind, losing my friends, often giving up on myself, getting older, not getting wiser, losing control, grip gets tighter feeling sick in my own skin, kind words just won’t change a thing, make the same mistakes again, feeling broken, dreading being alone once again
5.
You found a way to ruin this too Plug in and feed, tear it all down Steal from the culture the parts that you need, repackage it, rename it and call it your own A shallow grave, only memories remain, faded cries in the wind paved over with guiltless disregard Now you settle in this pool of excess Overlooking those that stick around Generations pulled from the roots Consuming culture until there's nothing left
6.
Full Heart 01:42
You've always bled for this, stood strong Held your ground, The pressures of this male dominated scene Won’t put out your flame, won't keep you down At times you struggled, cornered by defeat Full heart and clear eyes Never blinked, never skipped a beat Full heart and clear eyes Continued on, paving your ground, For so many years hitting brick walls, breaking them down. Raising your voice, not taking shit, pushing back harder, laying waste to those that run their mouth Proving wrong all those that wish to shut you out, not your burden, not on you, Your fire's burned some bridges, it's not the first time, it won't be the last, good riddance to their judgements, change of heart? They're not worth your time!
