lyrics

Here comes the unstoppable force now in motion
No passive emotion that's classed as corrosion
The passion exploding from souls oh so focussed
Noticeably broken homes that seek these potions
Go faster go harder rather than the stigmata
Don't barter by bearing the cross of your father
The mastered original bastard material
Sins of the digital criminal here we go
Really want to get up on that path crossroads whatever
I got to get a better plan real fast tougher than leather
I piece it together and bottle the sun
I feast on remains where the clouds could have won
Where crowds could have gone they hide from the lightning
The fear of the thunderclap rah so exciting
Keep fighting the gunpowder sparks from the tongue
My speaker-box rocks until dawn and I'm done

He's nothing to say
And nothing to lose
Just waits for the sunshine
That never comes
He's nothing to say
And nothing to lose
Just waits for the sunshine
That never comes

He's caught up in waves of thought drowning in silence
While all of his mates just surround him in violence
He buries his feelings turn demons inside him
And slowly turns grave in the tomb of surviving
Gets harder thinks larger can't shake the stigmata
Gets marginalised and rejected a martyr
He's classed as a miscreant grasps and then slips again
Lastly gets so god damn dissident militant
Got to get a better life real fast options aren't open
Forgot about the better side he had soft mens get broken
He's tired of hoping and fired with rage
The animal choking gets freed from the cage
The street's now his pate he feeds with his knife
And takes what he needs like a thief in the night
He tries not to think in the days what he's done
Just sinks in the downpour and waits for the sun

He's nothing to say
And nothing to lose
Just waits for the sunshine
That never comes
He's nothing to say
And nothing to lose
Just waits for the sunshine
That never comes

He feels so illogical after each obstacle
Lost in more visions of mission impossible
Had nothing lost it all known to the constables
But still he feels he's not really responsible
This is not the road he chose
The hate inside alone it grows
He bears the weather pulls the gun
But swears he never saw the sun

I think he's inside again yeah that leviathan
Hiding in tear ducts and puffing on nitrogen
Flow running cold raining so I just show my grin
Crying's for losers I'll use this hallucinogen
Carpe diem unbearable
Eyes of the carnival head of a Ferris wheel
I guess I'll hide until light there's a spark
I melee every day I'm afraid of the dark

He's nothing to say
And nothing to lose
Just waits for the sunshine
That never comes
He's nothing to say
And nothing to lose
Just waits for the sunshine
That never comes
