Finally I'm free Of this thing controlling me A friend turned enemy I'm still crawling I'm still crawling You're not innocent You knocked me down You're now irrelevant I have made it out I hear you coming Knocking at my door I've thrown away the key I've said goodbye You won't see me any more Cause I am finally free The burden has been lifted The finger shackle's gone The caustic tongue has been cut out Forever silenced Forever silenced A voice so dissonant It drowns me out You're just an irritant I can do without I hear you coming Knocking at my door I've thrown away the key I've said goodbye You won't see me any more Cause I am free and I never want to hear you call I only want to see you fall I never want to hear you call I only want to see you fall The cracks were showing in your perfect plans Now they can never be repaired I've tolerated it for far too long now I won't endure your vanity I've set my sights on new horizons You can't deny my liberty I hear you coming Knocking at my door (Door) I've said goodbye You won't see me any more (More) You're not innocent You knocked me down You're now irrelevant I have made it out I hear you coming Knocking at my door I've thrown away the key I've said goodbye You won't see me any more Cause I am free and I never want to hear you call I only want to see you fall I never want to hear you call I only want to see you fall

Keep on running down the road And leave the fear behind Isolation's getting old So breathe and clear your mind The numbers rise but still we try To find a distraction from it all It feels the same, but everything's changed And we will find the way out Living in a time of uncertainty When will we return to normality? Separate and stay inside, but remember you're still free We'll see you on the other side When all of this turns into distant memories We're in this together - it's not forever We'll find a way to make it through We'll live our lives, one day at a time And wait for it to fade out and disappear Living in a time of uncertainty When will we return to normality? As we drift into the great unknown Just remember you are not alone Just remember you're not alone Empathy is what we need So just hold your head up high And don't let the Covidiots make you cry We cannot see this invisible enemy The systems are shutting down Inside another victim that it has found It is a tragedy This contagion is spreading so viciously And we have got to fight it together To claim our last victory Living in a time of uncertainty When will we return to normality? Waiting for the day when finally We can kill this invisible enemy This invisible enemy

Regenerate 04:22
Scream until your lungs can barely breathe Spitting blood at my own legacy The heartache and the pressure can't go on forever Hoping I can find serenity I'm tearing off little pieces of what I've become Is it enough? No This energy surrounds me Controlling all the signals in my brain Regenerate and ground me Give me strength so I can change, and I'll make amends for everything Drain the well and fill this effigy Light it up and burn it all Scatter all the ashes of everything I've banished Open up and drink this remedy I'm looking up at a vision of what will come It's built for us, I know This energy surrounds me Controlling all the signals in my brain Regenerate and ground me Give me strength so I can change, and I'll make amends for everything Forget all the things I've done, and just remember what we've got to do Together we'll take control, and we'll make it through The sun was setting in an ocean of flames Breathe in and feel this bright new day Feel this love This energy surrounds me Controlling all the signals in my brain Regenerate and ground me Give me strength so I can change, and I'll make amends for everything Everything Everything Everything

Barriers 04:55
Disconnect the mother from the child Cauterise the bleeding in her heart Realise that she will lose control over him Cause he's taken away by the one who'll tear them apart Break down all these barriers And turn them into bridges back to where we began You can break them all Reconnect the chains Before it's too late Oh Distort the lenses in his eyes Twisting all that he sees and believes is reality The ring fences insulate and contaminate his mind Why can't he see that you're pulling the strings? Controlling everything Break down all these barriers And turn them into bridges back to where we began You can break them all Reconnect the chains Before it's too late Too late Inside her you will find A heart of pyrite and not of gold Please try and sympathise With everyone you've left out in the cold I hope you escape the illusion and Wake up in time Break down all these barriers And turn them into bridges back to where we began You can break them all Reconnect the chains Before it's too late Too late They're reaching out They only want the best for you They're reaching out Don't push them away Put an end to all this pain

Idiocracy 05:30
Is this reality? I'm losing faith in humanity When sense and wisdom fails Idiocracy prevails How did we get to here? Were people blinded by hate and fear? It took us by surprise The masses swallowed his lies I can't believe the insanity The damage has been done By the flock of sheep who cannot see Through the veil of treachery and deceit Is this reality? I'm losing faith in humanity When sense and wisdom fails Idiocracy prevails Set sail to the end of the world Hit the wall and then crash and burn Reject the vaccines and medicine In case there's poison within Still they believe the conspiracy Avoiding facts for fiction Why are they still free to spread disease by choosing ignorance over evidence? Is this reality? I'm losing faith in humanity When sense and wisdom fails Idiocracy prevails Idiocracy Our state of mind has been simplified When will it all end? The only way is to educate and put our trust in them The future's not been set There's hope for us yet The future's not been set There's hope for us yet Intelligence will be our defence Against the ones who rule by preying on the fools Then the hate and fear will disappear the insanity will end We'll put our faith in those who'll make us live in hope again The hate and fear will disappear the insanity will end We'll put our faith in those who'll make us live in hope again The future's not been set There's hope for us yet The future's not been set There's hope for us yet

Evolution 04:03
Unravel the thread Pick away at Those thoughts inside your head A faded memory of a distant life Deprived of oxygen Enough so I can't thrive If I see you again Looking back with those poison eyes Then you'll see the future The evolution of everything that I am Manipulated and played like a fool Innocently put my trust in you Too late to vaccinate So neutralise Drink the antidote and scrub the brain If I see you again Looking back with those poison eyes Then you'll see the future The evolution of everything that I am Everything that I am After everything You thought I wouldn't change Cut the anchor to stay afloat Or drown in negativity The apparition of fake If I see you again Looking back with remorseful eyes Then you'll see the future The evolution of everything that I am Everything that I am Oh! I hope I never see you again I hope I never see you again
