Numb The Brain 03:44
lyrics
You've got to numb the brain To give the body time to heal You've got to numb the brain To give the body time to heal You've got to numb the brain To give the soul time to heal To give your heart time to heal I ain't sitting in a bar Drinking whiskey everyday That is too pricey for me I drink at home I've always been that kind of economical type But that didn't keep you here No, you are gone You've got to numb the brain To give the body time to heal You've got to numb the brain To give the body time to heal You've got to numb the brain To give the soul time to heal To give your heart time to heal I go to the pharmacy To get some sleeping pills So I don't cry And lay awake at night I've always been that kind of emotional type But that didn't keep you here You're out of sight You've got to numb the brain To give the body time to heal You've got to numb the brain To give the body time to heal You've got to numb the brain To give the soul time to heal To give your heart time to heal I hit the gym, I moisturize I'm repainting all the walls I work extra hours I go on dates I've always been that kind of go-getting type But that didn't keep you here You walked away You've got to numb the brain To give the body time to heal You've got to numb the brain To give the body time to heal You've got to numb the brain To give the soul time to heal To give your heart time to heal I do kitchen psychology I analyse myself My childhood and my hopes And dreams and you I'm just that kind of loyal and in love believing fool But that didn't keep you here, No, we are through You've got to numb the brain To give the body time to heal You've got to numb the brain To give the body time to heal You've got to numb the brain To give the soul time to heal To give your heart time to heal

Will Along The Way 04:19
lyrics
Maybe it's already over Maybe we're hanging on to a dream Maybe I am on my own here Maybe you have checked out on me Maybe it's already over Maybe we turn our eyes from the truth Maybe you're on your own here, Maybe I have checked out on you It's been nine days since we spoke on the phone We left it open-ended Feels like we are done I think of you at night when I lay in bed No idea what's going on in your head We used to make time We were on fire once Now it's take it or leave it Not important Whatever we have left is running though our hands Did we do this to ourselves Was it circumstance I'm not calling you You're not calling me Except to cancel or postpone We're just too busy Where there's a will there is a way they say We must have lost that will along the way Maybe we can still save it Maybe we are still a team Maybe we still crave it Maybe we can go back to the dream It's been nine days since I texted No reply It's fuckin' disappointing and I wonder why And where to go from here and what to do Cause clearly I don't mean that much to you The loss of all that could have been seems unbearable now But there are two things that I've come to know One There's almost nothing left to run through our hands And two We've done this to ourselves despite circumstance I'm not calling you You're not calling me We've got too much going on We're just too busy I'm not calling you You're not calling me Except to cancel or postpone We're just too busy Where there's a will there is a way they say We must have lost that will along the way

Cows 04:17
lyrics
The milk farmers are going extinct There's fewer every year One by one they get bought up, vanish and disappear Where once were a thousand there are fifty now But each one of those has 200 times the cows The cows have never in their lives tasted local grass They live off imported soy from south america The rain forest gets burned down for giant fields of fodder To feed what is four spindly legs, one giant veiny udder The cows don't ever move, each has their metal bay That rotates them when it's their turn the milking robot's way Another robot pushes feces through slats in the floor Because cold hard cash is what cow shit can be sold for This is the world of dairy It's gonna gobble us up This is the world of dairy This is the world of dairy This is the world of dairy It's never gonna stop This is the world of dairy This is the world of dairy A guy lifts tails, goes full arm in and that is not for show Perpetually pregnant is how they like every cow The boy calfs they get euthanised almost immediately The girl calfs join their mothers in the milk factory These cows they never set foot on a pasture These cows they never ever see the sky These cows are sent to slaughter at about five years That's when production levels drop so it is time to die This is the world of dairy It's gonna gobble us up This is the world of dairy This is the world of dairy This is the world of dairy It's never gonna stop This is the world of dairy This is the world of dairy You think all this is wrong somehow, wait for the irony Milk farmers don't make profit, they live off subsidy They have no choice but to sell to the big milk industry Which then rakes in the millions paid for by you and me So in a way our daily milk burns the rain forest down Bankrupts your local farmer Fattens big milks accounts Supports animal cruelty Corrupts the government This is our dairy system Choke on your milk, my friend This is the world of dairy It's gonna gobble us up This is the world of dairy This is the world of dairy This is the world of dairy It's never gonna stop This is the world of dairy This is the world of dairy

Indecision 02:43
lyrics
I'm torn I just can't decide It's like my confidence is out of sight I want to do something for you But I can't see the point, it's true It's like the simplest things have suddenly Become impossible, something's not right I'm stuck in neutral concerning you and me I'm torn And I hesitate Something's been a-miss of late I remember way back when I felt like this just when the end Was already knocking at my door That's not what I want, don't contemplate Walking away because I still want more I'm torn And I wish I knew Where to turn and what to do Time's so short, if we had more We could make it work for sure Knowing that you love me makes me free To be who I am, it's ours to lose I hate wondering if you still love me I'm torn Between the two of us We shared a special bond and trust Giving that up is such a shame We find, only to lose again I know that it wasn't all for nought But it makes me sad, cause now we must Abandon our quest for the absence of thought I'm torn I can't quite explain Why I try to decide in vain How to do more so you will stay Cause I want to have it both ways I guess they say that's incompatible But I must find a way to ease this pain Cause if I don't find a way then no-one will For the sake of the desires I can't kill

Watcha Doing 03:22
lyrics
What are you doing shouting freedom As you're raising barricades And you wave the nations' flag Spreading messages of hate What are you doing shouting freedom As you're threatening the lives Of leaders, journalists and nurses Claiming you're doing what's right What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing shouting freedom When you've never paid its price It's not honored by defacing Monuments of sacrifice What are you doing shouting freedom When you're already so free? Free to speak, believe and protest Free to chase after your dreams What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing shouting freedom DON'T equate vaccines and masks To the gruesome death of millions Who have perished in the gas What are you doing shouting freedom When for all it's plain to see Protest becomes occupation For cash and publicity What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing shouting freedom And forego kindness and love How about protecting others Work towards the good of all What are you doing shouting freedom But then only think of you Cause we're all in the same boat here And we are all suffering, too

Even The Heart Gets It Wrong Sometimes 03:58
lyrics
Follow your heart they say So I let my heart choose Follow your heart they say So I let my heart choose I gave my heart free reign It chose to give itself to you I gave my heart free reign It chose to give itself to you It happened in a flash The full speed train of you and me It was a crazy ride I thought this heart chose perfectly But soon enough we crashed My heart decided not to see But soon enough we crashed My heart decided not to see Cause you won't ever give me What I am looking for Love shouldn't be this hard I'm walking out the door I can finally see the signs I can read between the lines And now I know even the heart gets it wrong sometimes You were shiny and new and full of promise what could be I let my heart choose you We were wild and free But all you seem to be That isn't at all you I guess what the heart sees just isn't always true Cause you won't ever give me What I am asking for Love shouldn't be this hard I'm walking out the door I can finally see the signs I can read between the lines And now I know even the heart gets it wrong sometimes We give our heart to someone then someone's super sweet We should feel loved and cared for We should be happy We give our heart to someone then someone's fucking rad But you take me for granted I feel angry I feel sad Cause you won't ever give me What I am looking for Love shouldn't be this hard I'm walking out the door I can finally see the signs I can read between the lines And now I know even the heart gets it wrong sometimes Cause you won't ever give me What I am asking for Love shouldn't be this hard I'm walking out the door I can finally see the signs I can read between the lines And now I know even the heart gets it wrong sometimes

Here's To The New Year 02:30
lyrics
Here's to the new year Already, again Did we change in the old year Or did we stay the same Here's to the new year Santa is leaving town Do you even remember All the things that went down Do you keep them forever Do you hide them away Here's to the new year Not much else to say They say live in the moment They say time don't exist Say the past's just a constuct and the future's but mist Every moment's a dew drop like one single tear String them all together and they make a year As life keeps on going We keep going along Cherish what makes us happy As we work to stay strong We aim to do the right thing And the best that we can That's what we said last year When this year began So here's to the new year Just another new year And it won't be much different From the last one I fear They say live in the moment They say time don't exist Say the past's just a constuct and the future's but mist Every moment's a dew drop like one single tear String them all together and they make a year So here's to the new year As this year's almost gone We collect if we pass go Otherwise just move on

Letting It Happen 03:18
lyrics
I am losing you one step at a time I am well aware what is on the line Something must be done There must be a way But it might take more than I want to to pay I am paralyzed like I am on my own What's your take on this Why don't I know I wish we'd still talk like we used to do Distance takes its toll on me and you I'm letting it happen Though I don't want to I'm letting it happen I guess we are through I don't want it over but I wonder if it's true Are you letting it happen, too Blind faith Zero doubt That was you and I Pick up where we left off That, too, went away Now I'm waiting days for you to text back I wish we had more time Or the will to act I'm letting it happen Though I don't want to I'm letting it happen I guess we are through I don't want it over but I wonder if it's true Are you letting it happen, too I have to carve out a space for you in my life But I don't want to give up any part I could cut I have to carve out a space for you in my life But I don't want to give up any part I could cut I'm letting it happen Though I don't want to I'm letting it happen I guess we are through I don't want it over but I wonder if it's true Are you letting it happen, too

Institutionalized Desmartification 04:34
lyrics
Let's not teach them grammar anymore Let's not teach them spelling anymore Let's get rid of handwriting as well Cause mothertongue proficiency What is that good for Instead let's give them laptops in grade one Because computers are so much more fun It's way too much to ask to learn to spell Cause chromebooks come with spellcheck and grammar fix built in It's institutionialised desmartification Let's make a dumber generation They say that every decade but this time it is true Cause there is lots of money in selling tech to schools Corporations prefer mindless drones People who never notice what is wrong Who accept whatever they are told Instead of thinking critically they consume all life long It's institutionialised desmartification Let's make a dumber generation They say that every decade but this time it is true Cause there is lots of money in selling tech to schools The kids are hyper And they can't sit still Lonely or depressed And their minds scream overkill They can't be calm nor feel in control But that's easily fixed with some daily feel good pill It's institutionialised desmartification Let's make a dumber generation They say that every decade but this time it fits Cause there is lots of money in prescribing drugs to kids No one needs to know how to spell Reason, write, think, decide, debate or add There are apps for that As long as well all know how to swipe Scroll, tap, tap, swipe, tap, scroll, swipe Everything is gonna be allright It's institutionialised desmartification Let's make a dumber generation They say that every decade but this time it is true Cause there is lots of money in selling tech to schools It's institutionialised desmartification Let's make a dumber generation They say that every decade but this time it fits Cause there is lots of money in prescribing drugs to kids
