Awake till I’m asleep Asleep till I’m awake Sneak out Future’s bleak Life is short Try to sneak out A pack of dogs chasing cars A group of friends behind bars So small in a world so big Shackles around my ankles And a rope around my neck I’m moving slow Even though I wanna run Time to bite the leash Something must be done Walking through a tunnel Living just to die A thousand times I tried to go astray I’ve got pulled back
2.
Lives are lost and ignorance shows Lives are lost but yours is spared Lives are lost and ignorance shows Lives are lost – nothing you need to care about Systemic violence It’s just a symptom of an easy life No tears to shed in a world secure The right time, the right land You’re born with luck with nothing at stake People die, people kill Don’t need to care and never will Shot in the head, kick in the teeth Thrown in the pit, left for dead Not your fault, not your concern Easy life, no guilt Pain so far Easy fucking life No drones over your head No trenches in your yard No neighbour’s dead A life you wanna guard
3.
My lonely self is on its own A bitter taste on my tongue My face is numb Feeling odd In every place they want you out You can feel the disgust Comfort in mistrust Rotten roots, dead trees Traumas, inherited disease The blood line grows thin I am the failure of my kin When you lose your grip You are the one to ask A pact with the devil That’s what they call you Can’t rely on anyone Since you decided to be an outcast Always outcast Rotten roots, dead trees Traumas, inherited disease My blood line grows thin I am the failure of my kin Family traitor
4.
Like a hammer missing the nail Like a dog biting its own tail For this door I don’t need no key I kick it in – free entry Count me out, I’m on my own I ain’t too proud, so I can’t let myself down Still bite the hand, keep my jaws locked tight Teeth sink in your flesh - pointless to fight They say life has more to offer if you work hard So you want me to suffer to get a reward? Don’t point your finger at me you fool Don’t fucking use me as your tool Can’t get lost if you ain’t keeping track So stay outta my way, you scumbag
