Anxiety comes to me Takes my hand Won't let me leave. Anxiety calls for me Now I can't breathe... They come for me and my family They take us "back" But we can't go home. Your empathy is all we need But I know you have none. We're not wanted But we don't care. We're not leaving We still call this home. For centuries you take from me We give and give and don't ask "why?" if memory serves you well... But I know you've got none

Ungrateful 03:59
Screaming at the top of my lungs I can't find the words you want But you're so clever when everybody's gone Clawing my way from the bottom Every night I bite my tongue Is it ever done? 'Cause never's long enough Laying awake in the dark Through the windows I hear them bark "Is it worth it because living's hard enough?" And I'm yelling again at the sky Every morning I hear it sigh "Is it worth it 'cause heaven's not enough?"

Somnambulo 04:22
My whole life has come and gone All my blood and fears My whole life has come and gone All my failures clear The sun is in your eyes again The shadows growing in the wind The things you said You can't take back again The sun is in your eyes again The fog is rolling in your head The things you did You can't take back again Your friends have gone and left you All alone When you needed them to mend your bones You're all alone All my friends I push them away I don't need them I'm all alone It's all my fault All my friends I push them away I don't need them I'm all alone It's what I like All your love You give it away You don't need it It's your fault It's what you like

I wake up And I know it's not enough I reach out But you know this isn’t love Do you want me? Am I good enough for you? Or is it better If we both just say “adieu” Looking up Pictures of us And I know it wasn’t lust Do you love him? Does he know you like I do? Or is he better, Does he listen more to you? Oh my God Counting on apologies and lies. All my life I'm counting every day and every night. And when I die Will I be bored? Will I still feel so alone? I leave my money and my memories with you and I'm sorry I never knew what to do. Oh my god counting on apologies and lies. All my life Counting every day and every night.

White God 04:46
You see the face of God in everything he says. You feel the weight above It's spinning in your head You want him and you don't understand the lies. You hear the voice of reason but it's not enough. With your white God and your red Devil all around Your old prayers They never make a sound. But you love it and you don't understand it all You hear the voice of reason but it's not enough. It gets louder. With your weak lungs, your old heart ain't strong enough And your white lies They just cant carry love. And you love him but you don't want him anymore You hear the voice of reason and its louder now. It gets harder. With your white God And your red Devil And your white lies And your cold Heaven. Your White God And your red Devil And your white lies For your cold Heaven. Your White God And your red Devil And your white lies For your dead Heaven.

Brundlefly 03:39
Under the Sun I was walking On the street By the cars I was walking with you. Where the sky Meets the Earth On my shoulders I'll be running away Further from you. Shout it out loud again. Under the moon I was laying On the sand By the waves I'll be laying with you. Where my lips And my lungs Meet the ocean I'll be holding my breath Waiting for you. Where the moon and the stars Go through the motions. Where the sun meets the clouds By the sea. Where my arms reach for you Across the ocean. Where my arms reach for you... Shout it out loud.

Waves 02:57
Riding on a wave of dependency Looking through the eyes of an animal I'm climbing on the hills of a massacre I'm swallowing the world with my silver tongue And I feel so numb. Drowning in a wave of a murderer Falling through the cracks of indifference Running from the edge of a silver knife It's like screaming at a wall with an iron lung And I'm seeing red. Run away. You fall down but you're so close to me. You fall down and you're so far.
8.
Avarice 03:37
I can't afford the dirt you spit on. I can't afford the sky above. I walk your streets and I know your secrets Your body's rotting in the sun. But I know Where you sleep. You spread your house like a disease. You're building over history. Inconsequential So providential The God of avarice concedes. But I know Where you sleep. Eat the rich. Spit their bones. Dig their graves. Burn their homes.

Criminal 02:56
Que porque respiro Soy Criminal Que porque estoy vivo Soy Criminal Cuando me levanto Ya soy criminal Porque no soy un Santo Ya soy criminal Donde yo eh nacido Me hace un criminal Porque cruce tu rio Yo soy criminal Naciste tu de ratas Y yo soy criminal? Y cuando tu me matas Yo soy criminal. Dime que te pertenece. Que es lo que tu corazon te promete? Y ahora tu me enjaulas Como un animal Y todavia me hablas Como un animal Me hablas de mi raza Como un animal Viviendo aqui Me cazas como un animal. Y asi han pasado por cientos de años. Dime que te pertenece. La luna el mar y el viento? El sudor de mi frente? O el vapor de mi aliento?

Born on the wrong dirt Under the same sun. Saying the wrong words Running from YOUR guns. With your foot on my neck You demand respect But I know you can't hear us breathe. I know you can't hear us scream. You don't care 'Cause we say the wrong prayers. It's our choice Cause we make the wrong noise
11.
We're not wanted But we don't care. We're not leaving. We still call this home.
