A Eulogy 03:35
lyrics
buy track
Another day The headlines reads Some nameless faceless addict yet again found deceased No family to claim To carry on their name It's just our current state , our fucked reality C'mon Another friend left this realm Untimely deaths just seem to keep spinning round When will it be addressed the answer to needless death, more support and less stigmas best We must be the voice for those that left Live for the ones who never got the chance We let their memories keep dancing in our heads And scream for a change , new policies to protect The lives of the ones that can be saved yet Please , if you don't agree See yourself out and check your fuckin privilege Check your fuckin self If someone craves an escape it shouldn't be the endgame We're all worthy of healthy change Just gotta live to see the day Live for the ones who never got the chance We let their memories keep dancing in our heads And scream for a change , new policies to protect The lives of the ones that can be saved yet And breathe in deep Be grateful yorie still hear Never let your voice be silienced by fear Break down the walls to be built better than before Don't let them die in vein, as we collectively mourn

What We're Owed 02:35
lyrics
buy track
We share The same broken bones We re from The same busted home We bleed The same blood Cut form The same cloth We shed the same tears We've fought the same fears Togeteher we overcome All of the damage that's been done We reach for the sky and decimate the sun Unstoppable togeteher as one Let it be known we're never alone no matter where we go we share the same broken bones Our strength unmatched with community at our backs , the oppressors throne will crack and we'll take it back We share The same broken bones We're from The same broken homes Together we take a stand Hold support for and defend Those who've been Beat down victimized Hated, disregarded, and stigmatized Strength in numbers We watch as it grows And as hate rears its ugly head as one we'll overthrow Never again will we hide in the shadows It's time to stand together and live the good lives we're owed Let it be known we're never alone no matter where we go we share the same broken bones Our strength unmatched with community at our backs , the oppressors throne will crack and we'll take it back We share The same broken bones Were from the same busted home You're never alone You're never alone You're never alone We will get what we are owed

Pretty Gritty 02:05
lyrics
buy track
The dust settles and here I stand Full of conviction , a gun in my hand I won't back down and won't shut up Finger on the trigger as i open er up Pretty gritty Another wild night left you in a haze With bloodshot eyes and bruises on you knees Just a classic Saturday, spillin drinks with your friends , don't give a fuck about tomorrow hope today never ends Throw away your dreams you once conceived of lux and lavish days I don't want your opulence I'd gladly throw it all away For a greasy dive, and fuck a 9 - 5 that aint for me Gimme something pretty gritty and I'll call it okay Pretty gritty Pretty gritty Here I stand , in defiance of the man Of the myth of modern culture and capitalist demand I wanna fuck and fight and drink and live in my own happy land Of grit and grease and loud tunes always fuckin pumpin in my head Throw away your dreams you once conceived of lux and lavish days I don't want your opulence I'd gladly throw it all away For a greasy dive, and fuck a 9 - 5 that aint for me Gimme something pretty gritty and I'll call it okay

Boys in the Hood 02:26
lyrics
Oh it's been so long How have you been my friend I know you're still sour But I'm so glad I left I severed the ties and burned every bridge I'm gone for good and won't miss the boys in the hood . It's too late for apologies That ship has sailed Thank you for your time And watch me wave good bye I've always had your back Oh and you've had mine The drive will always feel like home And I miss slamming beers at the dime but I've severed the ties and burned every bridge I'm gone for good and won't miss the boys in the hood It's too late for apologies , that ship has sailed Thank you for your time Now watch me wave goodbye The wilds been calling me so I had to pack my bags And honestly this life you live is such a drag The city was done with me so I had to pack my bags And honestly this life you live Is such a fuckin drag Such a fuckin drag I've severed the ties and burned every bridge I'm gone for good and won't miss the boys in the hood It's too late for apologies That ship has sailed Thank you for your time and watch me wave goodbye
