You Are No Exception

Someone’s banging on the echo chamber door
If it opens the voices will lose their renowned candour
Images of violence worn proudly on a puffed out chest
Legendary tolerance oversold at best
No solace in the silence
No justice in the quiet
When they survive in shadows
Cast by statues in the daylight
Short sighted
Shorter memory
Ignorant underdog
You’re barking so loud
Ignorant underdog
You make me wonder
Am I living in a nation worth saving
Appeal to purity
Have you ever considered you’re not as special as you think
You’re no exception
You think you’re defined by a line in the sand
The misperceived grace of your homeland
A free thinker until you’re forced to face up to your own reflection
No solace in the silence
No justice in the quiet
When they survive in shadows
Cast by statues in the daylight
No solace
No justice
Just a tree that never grows
Just a bird that never sings
No solace
No justice
Just a fish that never swims
Just a bell that never rings

A Pale Shadow

Reach in
Pull out
The darkest part of yourself
I never said this wouldn’t hurt
The pain was all but guaranteed
But for once would you listen to someone but yourself
Otherwise you’ll make it worse for someone else
You’re just a pale shadow
Don’t you know that we can see through you
You look so tired
Your acceptance means nothing
Selfishness
Useful hypocrisy
You’re so afraid of change not going your way
If your word is your bond your inaction is a noose
A page will take anything as long as you can write
Now the ink is shedding
The skeletons dance in the night
Maybe you were told about the danger of taking sides
Have you ever considered the danger of doing nothing at all
I ask myself the same every night
All night long
If you get comfortable
You get left behind
You’re all potential
Maybe nothing more
Reach in
Pull out
Look yourself in the eye
Don’t try to hide
Or it’ll eat you from the inside out
You got comfortable
You got left behind
Hiding all we know, never truly moving on
You got comfortable
You got left behind
So proud, so complicit

First WTF was google music actually throwing something good into my feed. Second WTF was everything every goddamn member of this band does. This and the previous album have been on repeat for weeks. All other music tastes like diet water. Help.
