While the grapevines climb the walls And I miss my mother’s calls Promised just not to forget Owing favours, paying debts Look at me Lie to me With eye contact Lie through me All your bullshit Don’t wanna hear it I just learned that You’re spreading fear, yeah (2x) Burn the beast down, raze the ruins Aim to fail, you’re a shoo-in Get off welfare, who you fooling? Get the cops to just stop shooting, yeah Look at me Lie to me With eye contact Lie through me All your bullshit Don’t wanna hear it I just learned that You’re spreading fear yeah All your bullshit Don’t wanna hear it I just learned that You’re spreading fear, spreading fear, spreading fear yeah All your bullshit Don’t wanna hear it I just learned that You’re spreading fear (2x)

I stand up feeling tough With the reventon in front of me He's looking at me with his crimson eyes And a huss like a Lamborghini Now I know that they mean business Not some kind of game I hear a woman in the stands cheering me on And calling my name You've got the minimum rage You've got your hopes up And there's no time around it To come along now It's got the minimum rage That's your apocalypse Last chance to live your own life And now you're broken It's one thing to vision But it's what he can see Execution-type is what it's like It's never the place to be So sharp, I cannot feel the spike Like surgery when I'm awake Even though there is not much more to take You've got the minimum rage You've got your hopes up There's no time around it To come along now It's not that minimum rage That's your apocalypse Last chance to live your own life And now you're broken There's never A reason Standing here For me to take on But I know The battle Is nothing Just like your xiphos Cutting Into me Is this your Anatomy? And now Is the time For you to rise Automatically You've got that minimum rage You've got your hopes up There's no time around it To come along now It's not that minimum rage That's your apocalypse Last chance to live your own life And now you're broken

When he got back from the war Didn’t know what he’d been there for So shell-shocked and full of pain Thinking of memories gained He thought about his friends that died Laying there, he can’t close their eyes To the pictures burned inside Where’s the glory? So much sorrow so much pain With nothing to lose and nothing to gain He took his life the other day It doesn’t feel like yesterday Now that I’m back to my land I’m not so used to a helping hand Can you pass the coffee Is not what I’m used to hearing in the morning All the families torn apart From land mines triggered in their soldier’s heart No grand story at the end or start There’s no grand story So much sorrow so much pain With nothing to lose and nothing to gain He took his life the other day It doesn’t feel like yesterday When he got back from the war Didn’t know what he’d been there for When he got back from the war Didn’t know what he’d been there for So shell-shocked and full of pain Thinking of memories gained He thought about his friends that died Laying there, can’t close their eyes Now the picture’s burned inside There’s no grand story Where’s the fucking glory in this?

Her Majesty 04:08
Grandma drank tea from porcelain cups Chipped gold rims and faded flowers Grandma drank tea from porcelain cups Faded into wallpaper, hour after hour Brittle bones her mind is static TV mutters exhausted frantic Brittle bones her mind is static Don’t leave me Vic, up on the wall Don’t let me or the empire fall and God save the queen God save the queen God save the queen Age is the cat that sleeps at the door The passing of time, ink eyes turn to milk Age is the cat that sleeps at the door Her hair is white, it’s spun like silk Bones so brittle, her mind’s a shelter Memories hide there they try to help her Bones so brittle, her mind’s a shelter What if bombs fall again? Don’t leave me Vic, up on the wall Don’t let me or the empire fall and God save the queen God save the queen God save the queen Na na na, na na na, na na na na na (3x) Nan na na, na na na na God save the queen (God save the queen) God save the queen (God save the) God save her, god save her God save the queen God save the queen (God save the queen) God save the queen (God save the) God save her, god save her God save the queen
