Hermano 03:47
Dear old friend, it’s time I set you straight You’ve been a growing concern for a number of years Tackling your problems head on was never your strong point. Your morals were something I never questioned I blamed it on a lack of better judgement You were never the brightest spark, but that glimmer you had is gone How could you let carnal desire cloud something so pure? She demonstrated human nature at its kindest A beautiful trait you don’t often see, But you soiled it when you became a slave To your urges, to the bottle And other such trivial matters Tell me where’s the girl we used to know? But I guess in some way or another, hypocrisy has always been your thing And in retrospect his oppression kept you stable I’ve never seen a rebound like this How could you let carnal desire get in the way? When you return you’ll have no one I always thought you’d add up to more than this Now it’s catching you up like I said it would Dear old friend, it’s time I set you straight You’ve been a growing concern

White Tape 03:37
This is the first I’ve written about you, and I can’t say if it’s the last You betrayed me more than anyone could, now it’s time you heard me out How could you bear to watch me blinkered like that? And no I don’t want your pity, I just want you to repent I hope the guilt consumes your being An itch within your blood Like a junkie without a fix Rest assured, this is from the heart You can’t blame it on love You can’t blame it on youth You can’t No Don’t you dare have the indecency to look me in the eyes again You are half the man I am I’m stronger than I was back then Your memory is just like a thorn digging deep into my skin And no matter how hard I try The sting remains I hope you know your actions cost me a year But now I’m standing tall Rest assured, this is from the heart

Greyscale 03:37
Another rain soaked wake up call I leave this house welcomed by dark grey clouds Although these streets once felt like home, they don’t anymore Who cut you off from what lies outside? There’s a whole world and it’s not far away, far away If you’d just open your eyes We’re nothing but a dot on the map, yet to some this is all they know Don’t get me wrong We’ve had good times, we’ve had good times But those are long gone Don’t let me become one of you Another rain soaked wake up call I leave this house welcomed by dark grey clouds Let me trade this bleakness for sunlit skies Take away this bleakness I write it down on those awful mornings When time is a record turning too slow The rain never stops As if I need another reminder of how futile my efforts are To move on It doesn’t matter where I am If you’re around then I’ll be fine We’ve tried so many times to remedy this Let’s hope this is the last time

13 Days 04:07
I was 19 when I heard your news His voice sounded broken as his words came down the phone A wave of shock and fear came over me You were gone Although I never knew you Hearing of this crippled me ‘A tragedy beyond words’ is what the headline read And I did nothing to fight the tears Bring me the names of every last one That laid eyes on you while you lay there We will be waiting We will never forget 15 years isn’t long enough to bring justice to what you suffered This isn’t only a mark of respect But a token to remind me of the certainty of death And how it comes in many forms But few as senseless as yours A tragedy beyond words And the damage is already done Together we must stand We need to send a message We can’t even call you a martyr Cause nothing good has come from your death So senseless, no reason Ignorance is passed on from parents to children If we unite we can show them that how they operate is wrong 5 years on Together we must stand Overthrow the sedated masses You’re turning a blind eye, this can’t go on If we unite we can show them that how they operate is wrong Bring me the names of every last one
