- Track Name: Words Don't Come Easy When You're Young
-
Denied, words don't come easy when you're young
No they don't come, no they don't come at all
Got that way of saying I'll be fine somehow
I'm stepped on
I'll overcome
Blank stares and faces tried to shut me down
I'm stepped on
I'll overcome
Denied, words don't come easy when you're young - Track Name: It's Ours
-
The autumn was so intense
I could hear the leaves fall
It's ours
Action into moments
Our art is in the movement
It's ours
The autumn was so intense
And the summer was dying
We were taking back some dignity
It's ours
As the snow started falling
We were already gone
It's ours
As the snow started falling
The autumn was so intense
I could hear the leaves fall
It's ours
Action into moments
Our art is in the movement
It's ours
The autumn was so intense - Track Name: The Reactionary Hum
-
Someone or something
At least some kind of reaction
Not just the reactionary hum
Of agreeing with the argument
Just not the form
I try to comprehend
There are no words left
Can't hear you now
There's just contempt left
This force might seem unstoppable
When put into momentum
In the locker rooms and class rooms
In the school yards
And in our homes
Someone or something
At least some kind of reaction
Not just the reactionary scum
Making this land safe
For the pretty white children
I try to comprehend
There are no words left
Can't hear you now
There's just contempt left
I try to comprehend
There are no words left - Track Name: Cheap Excuses
-
Across the room on the second floor
Where you're cheap life lies, spread out for more
I've seen it all at least a thousand times
Watch you drench your sorrows with their gift of lies
Have you already clocked out, a silver sigh to deaf mind
It's not the first time, no it's not the first time
It has happened several times
Have you already clocked out, a silver sigh to deaf mind
It's not the first time, no it's not the first time
Along your life where your cheap excuses lie
Your current state is tomorrow's cries
I've seen it all and passed it along
Welcome to the real world, welcome It has happened several times - Track Name: I Got What I Deserved
-
This room takes the best of me
So help me
So help me
Privilege got me soaking in shame
Oh help me
Oh help me
And I got what I deserved
Spitting, screaming and stumbling
Waking up, waking up from the comfort of home and my fear of the other
No more, no more will I play the part that was laid out for me
And I got what I deserved
Now get me out of here
Can't move
Can't sleep
Should wash these dirty hands
And brush my teeth
And I got what I deserved
Spitting, screaming and stumbling
Waking up, waking up from the comfort of home and my fear of the other
No more, no more will I play the part that was laid out for me
And I got what I deserved
Now get me out of here
Oh help me
Oh help me
Oh help me - Track Name: One Way Communication
-
Obey, you'll see disinformation has come now
To set you free
Your race is lost, multiply, sum it up
And pay the cost
Talking to a face with a tounge made out of stone
That's what you get
Sacrifice, sacrifice my heart, turn me around and we'll go
Back to the start
Obtain, of course, your needs I don't need
To explain
Talking to a face with a tounge made out of stone
That's what you get
Obey, you'll see time has come to question
And questions are free
Your race is us, multiply, sum it up
And return your post
Talking to a face with a tounge made out of stone
That's what you get - Track Name: A Good Posture/Five Fingers Across the Black Board
-
A good posture
Use the crayons when you're asked to
Keep a straight face at all times
The words I scribble in the margin
So much more
A good posture
They'll clip your wings before you notice
Lined up for competition
They stole our subject position
Five fingers across the black board
Only one to wave goodbye
Five fingers form a fist now
