My prince I hold fear of that look in your eye Yesterday’s maidens have seen it and tried to pretend that your words and your deeds they are kind but the mask has slipped off and the world knows you lied. The jester has plotted his path through the court He’s noble of birth so his allies were bought He cheats in the open and leaves us all short While we crave his distractions he’ll never get caught. The world is on fire Long live the empire Your hubris is costly We’re out on our own Sire your hatred is much overgrown Your tentacles snaked all the way to the throne Now your wayward autocracy’s poisoned the tone The world is on fire Long live the empire Old battles inhabit the shards of his soul His wealth is off shore and his heart’s made of coal Contempt for the people whose futures he sold His ideas are cancerous, evil and cold A bonfire It’s a reverie All that’s kind he will rip into shreds And inside there’s nothing there We are mired in corruption and lies Build a pyre to the canopy Take our hope and watch as it burns and it dies It’s on fire We're on fire It’s on fire We’re on fire It’s on fire, on fire!

Omega Child 06:58
I went ashore And the rode the pain I felt so lonely Deep in my brain An island bare And no ideas at all Omega Child I felt my world explode Omega child Embracing the unknown Omega When we change We feel the loss And we are trapped Counting the cost And sometimes we cannot find hope at all Omega Child I felt my world explode Omega child Embracing the unknown Omega At times we’re on our knees The scale can throttle our belief But I’m ready to see and to push through and be all the hope that I intended And I want to succeed and to nurture the seeds of the dreams that we have planted And I know Yes I know That we can rise And realise our ambitions to prosper Find the light Trust this rope One steady hand over hand and know that when we reach the promised land Emerging into the next chamber It’s not the surface we knew of but it still feels like renewal Yeah it still feels like renewal Once again believe in Omega Choosing hope we’re children forever On your marks we’re rising together x2 GO! OMEGA CHILD!

On My X 07:40
You need applause to sleep the night When none comes, your gut tells you stay into sight. A bankrupted smile that rapes the advice out your mouth Time it right and the sun always shines on your face But truth unfolds like the corpses that rolled out the shade. Courage fled, so there is no fence for your greed Here for lols, that poison the waters of grief But it’s not your family is it? We had the chance to wipe it out Complacency, a foothold found A dragon's hoard of protections we kept for ourselves, throwing away the progress we made Others trapped til it stayed that way under the ground Our enemy had plenty of chance to rebound Priority for the index and strength of the pound Courage fled, so there is no fence for your greed Here for lols, that poison the waters of grief But it’s not your family is it? Low shields Moments from death One shot will protect us A jigsaw of doom meets your thousand yard stare but the edge is complete, all the pieces are there Daddy are you proud of me? I made a policy Why won’t you put it on the fridge? A gold star for effort You’re doing your best Everyone said so including the press It’s not by design that you’ve mangled things up, but your plagiarised patchwork just won’t make the cut They take the acclaim, stood out on the deck but your floor has a trap so your noose found a neck. Daddy are you proud if me? I made a policy Why won’t you put it on the fridge? Daddy are you proud of me? I made a policy And the bodies piled high. Piled high The bodies piled high The bodies piled high

This voice inside, I'm always self critical. And it gets stuck on repeat, in a loop, it's neurotic and pitiful. There's nothing that it can say, that I haven't thought About myself, except for that thing you just said yeah thats worse. You make me sad My monologue won't be silenced I should be glad I try to find acceptance I'm practising, wanting the things that I have. And it's under control and I feel like I've actually got a plan. These thoughts can run away And the snowfall starts, inside my mind Blanketing optimism in the ice, but I can thaw You make me sad My monologue won't be silenced I should be glad I try to find acceptance Shrug Shrug it off Neurons like worms Burrowing into the ripe fruit The best version of me The best version of me You make me sad My monologue won't be silenced I should be glad I try to find acceptance You make me sad My monologue won't be silenced I should be glad I try to find acceptance now I'm spiralling down Like a puncture In the side of a plane I am watching the high spirits drain Your smile is a parachute Yeah your smile is a parachute
