Won't Forget You

I won't ever forget you
No matter how hard I try
Every time I try to switch off
You pop up as clear as mud
No I won't ever forget you
Cos you wont let me try
Whenever I'm feeling hopeful
You come to drag me back
Poisoning anyone's ability to think
Making sure the fruit is as rotten
As your outlook on the world
No I won't ever forget you
Cos you wont let me try
What are you good for?
What are you good for?
What are you good for?
Perpetuate the power structure
Give us a bite
Hope we don't ask for too much
Keep us in line
I can't forget a time
When I thought these things could change
Now I'm angrier than I've ever been
I'll make sure they see the fruit is rotten
Before they swallow it whole
No I won't ever forget you
But you'll wish I'd try
What are you here for?
What are you here for?
What are you here for?
The profession of your father?
This game costs us our lives
Hope we don't ask for too much
Keep up in line

Endless Cycle

All on my own
I can't get away from it all
You'd think not being in contact with the outside world
It'd be better
Stuck in this endless cycle
No one knows what's right
If I had any money I could've bet you'd capitalise
Like you always do
The same stories
Going around and around
And the same reality repeats itself but no one opens their eyes
No one opens their eyes
Touch the screen
Try to relax I don't know why
You can keep your claps and your bells
They know it's just superficial gesture and noise
Stuck in this endless cycle
No one knows what's right
If I had any money I could've bet you'd capitalise
Like you always do
The same stories
Going around and around
And the same reality repeats itself but no one opens their eyes
No one opens their eyes

You Don't Know Me

You don't know me
Even though you've heard all about me
You don't know me
Even though you think you do
You'd be quite surprised if you ever met in person
But you have
You just didn't realise
You don't know me
Even though you've heard all about me
You don't know me
Even though you think you do
I'm your doctor, your nurse, a teacher at your kid's school
A researcher, a supermarket worker,
The carer who looks after your Mum
You don't know the hurt you cause
When you believe every single word they say
It doesn't even have to make sense
For you to repeat it back to me
It doesn't even have to make sense
But you'll still become your worst enemy

Where We Are Going

I don't know how long I can stay here
It feels like we're suspended in space
The ropes hold us tightly and secure
But I think it might be a kind of relief to drop
I say I don't know where we are going
I don't know where we are going
But in truth we're going nowhere
In truth we know we're going nowhere
