Wrecking Ball

Welcome to the new age
A time of great change
And I never felt this way before
Listen to my body talk
It screams for all the battles I’ve fought
And there is a part of me that I can’t ignore
There’s nothing like finding your friend dead in his bedroom
I can’t avoid the issue, man I miss you
Get the wrecking ball
To destroy this old house
Get the wrecking ball
To wipe it all out
And I’ve spent too many years in these four walls
Never got to call it our own
Get the wrecking ball
To wipe it all out
I can’t help to think as I pour another drink
What the hell’s it all mean anyway?
Balanced on the brink coz I can’t make the link
Between his passing and the fact that I’ve been crying all day
I think I’ll speak to Hayley coz I’ve been getting lazy
Forgetting to look after my mental health
No saviour’s gonna save me
It’s up to me and lately
I’m feeling much more confident in myself
There’s nothing like finding your friend dead in his bedroom
I can’t avoid the issue, Chris I miss you

Good Days

I've been having those good days, bad days
Good days, that's the way it is
It's chaos to an atheist
What's the point? What's our purpose?
Life's not easy
And we won't survive
It's all worth it believe me
I'll see you on the other side
I feel so good today, it's been a while since I felt this way
I feel so good today, it's been a while, it's been a while honey
I am everything I'll ever need
I'm better than nobody, nobody is better than me
The good days are getting more frequent
I'm waking up with a smile
One day this'll disappear
But right now I feel so alive
Life's not easy
And we won't survive
It's all worth it believe me
I'll see you on the other side
I followed the righteous path but I never got out of my overdraft
I'm rich coz of all the friends that I've found
Being broke never gets me down

Learn To Live Again
03:53
|

|
The road is long, the road is long
That’s why we sing these freedom songs
It will be tough, it will be tough
But you’ve got to carry on, even though you’ve had enough
Nobody said life would be easy
And we both know nobody gets out alive
Hey Cassandra, you are not your family
But you are not alone
Sometimes we need to break the chain
And learn to live again
You can start a new life in Mexico
And go to college like you always wanted
Coz the future belongs to you more than you’ll ever know

You should have left sooner
I’m a boozed-up loser
I’m washed up and dried out like an old barracuda
Everybody here hates me
At least that’s what it feels like lately
And I’m waiting for someone to save me
We tried but it didn’t work out
Now let me tell you what it’s all about
I need you, I don’t want you now
I bought you flowers, which made it worse somehow
If you zoom out far enough it’ll all make sense
And if we try hard enough, can we still be friends?
The world is a vampire
The UK is ablaze with a fire so bright that it’s burning me alive
If something burns bright that doesn’t mean it burns forever
And I’ll be fine, in time

together let’s work out what went wrong and make sure it never happens again if you’re reading this then it’s not too late if you’re not okay then it’s not the end coz everything will be okay in the end we’re gonna go down singing all the men and women and those non-binary and in-between my name’s Jak and my pronouns are him and he let’s exercise our empathy and end the prejudice that we feel coz I’m pretty sure it’s easy to be compassionate to people like me
let’s talk about optimism coz ideas and dreams they can actually change things all great movements in history were not led by a pessimist this means that the future belongs to those who think it’s possible to live in a world where we pride ourselves on the way we treat those in need with no food to eat whereas those who worship greed will be consigned to history you can’t kill an ideology so let’s write our own to set us free
be proud of how far we’ve come while fighting for a better tomorrow you can’t blame those that follow man we all do it in different ways on different days football teams political allegiance the clothes that we wear science religion whether you’re goth or a toff on a gap year or a lap dancer having a bad year we are all one with the earth and the animals
we are all one with the earth and the animals

Busy Livin'

She told me your brain remembers
The things you wish that you could forget
And it forgets what you wish to remember
Nothing left but regret
The world it owes you nothing
And nobody gets out alive
So you’ve got to get busy livin’
You’ve got to fight to survive
We’re not here to inspire
That’s not our purpose at all
Today’s ashes = tomorrow’s empires
What’s our purpose? Is it really worth it?
Somebody told me to get busy livin’
We are the heroes in our own eyes
You know that we’re always giving but it’s never enough
We’re always running but we’ll never catch up
Busy livin’
Survival
We’re doing just the best that we can
We’re not some kind of idols
We’re one of a million
We’ve got no time for feelings
If we could live our lives again
We wouldn’t change a single thing
We’re no longer afraid of the mistakes we’ve made
And after all our hearts still sing

Physio

Gimme physio for my broken body
Gimme cardio for my broken heart
I need meditation for my burnt out brain
I need relaxation before I go insane
Healthy body, healthy mind, so why am I tired all the time?

Watch The Skies
02:25
|
|||
|
Born into a fake philosophy
Vampires drunk on vanity
Before we lose humanity
Let’s start a new reality
Wait and be patient
You gotta open your eyes
Turn and watch, turn and watch the skies
Our life is science, fiction, technology and religion
Death from above and the answer with it
They gave us a home but now we’re killing it

Wash away my sins holy mother
(Cleanse me)
We are all your sons and daughters
(Praise be)
Wash away my sins holy mother
(Cleanse me)
We are all your sisters and brothers
The great white wall of voodoo
Is what I came here for
I’ve got a Lincoln Continental and
A bag of booze and a board
We’re going down
But we’ll get back up
We’re going down
But we’ll never get up, give up, get up, give up
Feeling like Hercules
I’m surfing on red mercury
The planet is dying
Not the earth itself but the people on it
If you care about the Earth and the animals
Then you’d welcome the end of humanity

If
03:00
|

|
Do you want her to be happy or be with you?
After all the warring you feel like you need some rest
Now it’s four in the morning and you’re putting her patience to the test
If you buy me a drink then I’ll tell you a story
Of how we spoke every day, now she doesn’t call me
How did we end up in and out of love?
I’d given up and she’d had enough
If you buy me a drink then I’ll tell you my story
Do you want him to be happy or be with you?
Are you scared of being alone or are you really in love?
You’ve got to do this on your own, but will you be okay and are you strong enough?

A New Future
07:06
|
|||
|
Trapped on a strange planet
I’ve got to make my escape
I don’t recognise what I once knew
I’ve gotta get away
We’ve all got our bad habits
I guess we’ll reap what we sow
I’m going to find an answer on a different globe
All together we set off to find a new future
And as we sing we forget everything that we’re used to
I’m surrounded by interstellar waste
To be honest I’m all over the place
What’s my purpose? Is it worth it?
Let’s save this beautiful human race
I’m talking to the rebels
They’re so heavy metal
And they’re looking for the secret
So we land on this beautiful planet
And everything is upside-down
The power’s in the hands of the women
And there’s enough love to go round
There’s no such thing as greed
Coz everybody has just what they need
I got the secret, I started to leave
It was all so simple, man, I couldn’t believe it
I’m talking to the rebels
They’re so heavy metal
And now I have the secret
I’m talking to the devil
Yeah man, he’s so heavy metal
I don’t know if I can keep it
The secret…
Now I have to return with this weird wisdom I have found
But the snakes are on my tail
Am I destined to fail?
How can one fail to fulfill their destiny?
Can we change our fate, or is it too late?
Now I’m back on the strange planet
But what have I learned?
If you follow desire and play with fire
Everybody burns
Coz what we have is beautiful
And not all can see
It might mean nothing to some
But it means the world to me
The world’s not ours you know
But for now it is our home
Our land of the living
Let’s keep it that way
