Going Nowhere
02:28

It’s a constant struggle to paper over the cracks
Twist and contort the will, still tripped and stranded in the gaps
Forcing the pieces to fit together
Fighting to recover peace of mind
Left apathy behind
Going nowhere, and that’s fine
Struggling to atone for so much wasted time
Going nowhere, even when life gets in the way
Here to fucking stay
Rage and hate, and so little to relate to
Intensify the urge to remain true to this
True to this, never needed anything more than this
Worth every drop of the blood and sweat poured into this
And so much more…

Business As Usual
02:35

So a couple of faces may have changed
But our passion and commitment didn't falter for an instant
That’s what can never be replaced
It’s as clear as the look of contempt in this face that it’s...
Business as usual
Faith stayed strong through it all
Business as usual
London hardcore will never ever fall
The same agression felt since the start remains
And the same disgust for society
New faces helped this to flourish
And through the actions of those who stayed it’s...
Business as usual
We won't dilute this at all
Business as usual
London hardcore will never ever fucking fall
We’ve no intention of being overlooked or ignored
But cheap fame and personal gain are not what we stand for
From the mainstay to the kid who turned up the other day
Look to the glory of the past, and help to keep the future
looking the same

Free Inside
02:05

There’s no hard luck story
Can’t invent problems when there just aren’t any
Started counting blessings
In conclusion there are plenty
But something still lies heavy
Can’t shake a sense of alienation
Despite conflicting thoughts
Never deviate from this direction
I must turn the tide and stay free inside
Far away from that which has nothing to do with my life
More than ever before to give
Willing to sacrifice the time
It silences the isolation that threatens to engulf the mind
Maybe less a sacrifice, more a necessity to get by
Spirit came close to breaking but will never die
I must turn the tide and stay free inside
Keep to these ways and it’s all gonna be alright
Endless battle raging within
Surrender not an option, only choice is to win
Stick with what has yet to steer me wrong
Strong sense of commitment will never fade away
And a cliché this might seem, but I really foresee this going on
and on, and on ‘til the fucking end of me

War Clouds
03:15

War clouds looming
Searching in the gloom
For the demons that soon will cease to rule
Tails ripped off and wrapped around their necks
Horns twisted from their heads and shoved down their
throats
Time to tear down the walls they built
Can’t prevent this ascent to the top
Wings plucked from backs, sending them crashing to the
ground
Attacking with hate, showing sheer disrespect
Breaking their stranglehold
Time to regain the pride they took
Can’t prevent this ascent to the top
Sickening sinking feeling replaced by the feeling of teeth
sinking in
Striking from above as the war clouds roll in

Thrive
02:20
|

In a world that's getting smaller my mind has followed suit
Growing older, its harder to relate
Feeling more of an outsider than ever before
Frustrations building, disdain reinforced
It’s taken a while to figure out where I fit in
Seems like such a waste of time, there was no point in trying
Once a curse, now a blessing in disguise
Life just keeps on looking better through these jaded eyes
The pressures eased, the disdain just as strong
It’s taken a while to figure out where I fit in.
Seems like such a waste of time
Cos on the outside I’m thriving
It may be ingrained in destiny
That most of what I see is fucking lost on me
But now with time and hate, I've found I more than get by...
I fucking thrive
This hate will never die

A Lot To Say
01:55
|
|||
|
Things you'll never do
Emotions you'll never really feel
Not one thing at stake
Just empty words breeding scorn so pure and real
A lot to say
A lot to do
A lot to prove
Low on actions, high on descriptions of places you'll never go
Rarely stray from the line of least resistance
A lot to say on the subject, yet so much remains undone
A lot to say
A lot to do
So much bullshit to sift through
So go ahead and comfort yourself with delusions of adequacy
Talked a good game, but a spectator’s all you'll ever be
And arrogance never really did that much for me
But I think for once I'm entitled to a sense of superiority
