Opposition

Don't try to put me in your circle
I'm not another tick-box option
And I don’t wanna do what you say I should do
If I don't fit, you chip away
Force me into an ideology
Well I won't back down
No, I won't conform
Just make your point and go away
Put it on a shelf and go back again
Rethink your position
Before you make me opposition
There’s no point explaining to me
From the top side of patriarchy
No, I won't sit down
No, I won't shut up
You suck your teeth, you call and pry
But you will never get a rise
Walls are coming down your out of sight
I will not be made and I will not be shamed
I’m free to do and free to say, I’ll make you go or have you stay

Spittin' Feathers

Well you cant and you wouldn’t
How could i say you shouldn’t
I haven't and I wouldn't have dared
But now your eyes have got me crazy
When you're calling me lazy
After everything we've been through and shared
You've been spitting feathers, choking on the leather
Since the day that you met her and then
You call me out the blue, what do you want me to do
Just roll over and be happy as a friend
Playing cat and mouse, won't you just get out my house
It's apparent you've a plan to unfold
Been trying to find a reason but you're cryptic, calling treason
Must be a real sight to behold
I've got hate in my eyes
She's riding on your thighs
I'm done with the lies
And I'm cutting ties
Tired of being played while you keep getting paid
The dividends is bitter sweet
After all that I have done
How could I be the one who put down all the chips and got beat
Can't stop what you’ve done
You were the lucky one
Caught up in your mind games
I've come undone
I've been out of my mind,
I've been wandering blind
Can't say where I've gone
But I've left you behind

I'm done, I've had enough
Finished, I've got no love
Your pain and misery
Sinking a stone in the sea
Sick and tired of the sound of your voice
You’re leaving me with no choice
I'm at the end of my chain
I'm a dog howling out in pain
You don't have to be a fool
Gotta learn to play it cool
Just take a look in the mirror
Wanna knock that look off your face
I'll hunt you down, chase you out fo this place
We've had it, we’re all over you
Nothing left to do
Except go and fix your attitude
You can cry and you can shout
Try to throw your weight about
I don't care now that I'm gone
And I've left you all alone
Sick and tired of the sound of your voice
You’re leaving me with no choice
And I'm at the end of my chain
And I'm a dog howling out in pain
You know what you gotta do
Step back and fix your attitude

Hero

You try to challenge my strength
You disrespected me
Think all will fall and bend at the knee
You better step back
This is gonna hurt you more than me
Although you just don't want to believe
You don't know how far I'll go
I don't need a hero
From pain grows, iron glows
No need for a hero
I got where I am on my own
I don't need a hero
So don't try to talk me down
No need for a hero
I don't need no-one to control
You'll go to any length to assert yourself
Well I'm done, cant take anymore
Push you back down to where you oughta be
You can't apprehend me
Just so you know, this is how it goes

Rat Trap

You're getting older
Been growing that chip on your shoulder
The years fly by so fast
And in the sands your time has passed
You can't keep on running
The hands of time they just keep on turning
Can't keep going at this pace
Been losing your way in this race
Life's left you lost and alone
Just trying to find your way back home
Like a rat trapped in a maze
It's getting harder to make it through the day
I've been rolling in second gear
Trying to find a way outta here
Can't find the motivation
I'm crawling for inspiration
You can't keep on running
The hands of time they just keep on turning
Can't keep going at this pace
Been losing your way in this race
You've gotta fight for your life
Living on the edge of a knife
Everyone's just trying to get by
But the bodies are piling high
You just keep on pushing
Now everyone here just keeps shoving
Your chest is screaming
Open your eyes, no time for dreaming
Life's left you lost and alone
Just trying to find your way back home
Like a rat locked in a cage
It's getting harder to make it through the day

Break Free
04:40

Your rapture’s got me in a spin
A state you've left me in
On a collision course, you show now remorse,
Behind your eyes is ice, freezes me inside
And then you turn away
I can no longer stay
I gave myself to you
Now I just can't pull through
On shards of glass I walk
I stumble and I fall
You push me away
There's nothing left to say
I close the door behind silence in my mind
Wish I could find
And draw a line
Break free from the chains that hold
I want to break free
The silence in my soul
Living in a goldfish bowl
It starts to take its toll
No matter where I go, your face always shows
Tapping on the glass
Mocking as I pass
Just cant get away
I'm locked in disarray
I feel me fade
I'm so far away
I wanna run away
Get outta here
I wanna get away
Away from fear
Wont stop to turn around
Won't listen to a sound
I'm breaking out today

Morpheus

Show me the way to solve all my problems
Tell me how to meet what I need
Take me where my heart is wanting
Answer here to all my dreams
Have me a slice of my piece of heaven
Make me a garden where I will grow
Bathe me in glory, show me guidance
Follow me down the road we'll go
Cast a spell that will make me stronger
Bandage my wounds up when they bleed
Stitch me up make me feel better
Fill my table and stop my greed
Speak to me in riddles rhyming
Sing to me when the moon's half full
Fill my cup and give me plenty
Shining silver is never dull
In my dreams you will come to me
Invade my mind
Set me free
Oh set me free
From what will be
From misery
To destiny

Wrong Direction
04:21

Keep going down the same old road
It’s getting worn cracks start to show
Stuck in a rut, ain't getting out
You're sitting there just ignoring my shouts
It's getting old, I’m feeling cold
About ready to explode
Hey
We’re just going in the wrong direction
And getting nowhere babe
I guess we were fatal attraction
No one here left to blame
You're pulling teeth spit them on the floor
You're crying now but I'm out the door
This can't go on, my patience fried
Wanna break free but my hands are tied
It's getting old, I'm feeling bold
Fingers on the button I'm taking control
‘Cause hey we were going in the wrong direction
Never meeting, burned by our affliction
Where there was love, now only pain
No ones here, no ones left to blame
I've gotten cold got no satisfaction
Fallen out of the course of action
The flames gone out
Who's caring now?
I'm breaking out, it's breaking down

Poisoned
04:56

I know I'll take the fall
I'm gonna lose it all
But this web you've spun’s got me caught
I don’t care how or where
Just if you take me there
Lock me in your eyes and stare
I cant get out, I cant fight
Sweetest poison’s got me paralysed
Tangled up nowhere to go
I'm captivated by your show
The stage is set, the lights go low
Dancing now you sway aside
There's nowhere left to hide
No escape, you've got me tied
Come and take it for free
You bring out the worst in me
You don't have to move far
I'll be right where you are
And if this web shall fray
Right here is where I'll stay
And when your stage is burned
I'll be there for your return

Can't stand the way you're looking at me
You get in the way as far as I can see
Wish they'd take it
Wish they'd listen to me
Got eyes bloodshot from staring too much
Right now I've got you writhing in my clutch
How could they do this
How could they do this to me
My demons come crawling
Fill me with doubt
This vortex, I'm falling
I'm drowning
Time’s running out
Although you tried to integrate
You'll always be insubordinate
You can't make it
You will never be free
I tried to exercise my own view
But now I just keep running back to you
I'm too exhausted
I don't know what to do
The more you give
The more they take
They'll drain your soul
Bones they'll break
Won't be enough
Always want more
Broken you fall to the floor
