I do whatever I want, whatever I please
I got the band on the run, I’ve clipped off their wings
Forevermore
I gotta whole lotta mend
Won’t you just come fix me
Hate that I’ve done it again
Hate that this mirror is me
Just one more
The last for sure
I keep running away
I’m graphic, I’m Designer
Always trying my luck
You meant something to my bro
I think I don’t give a fuck
Just one more
The last for sure
I keep running away
It’s my last today
Just one more
The last for sure
I keep running away
It’s my last today
Just one more
And then I do it again
And then I do it again
And then I do it again

Give me death gimme liberation
G-g-gimme a kiss
Give me stares from Station to Station
Wonder who I is
Call me a liar, my pants, rarely are on fire
Unlike my music
Question reality, but always living in it
Tide it over
C-c-c-come on
Feel the energy
That’s been gone for too long
Tide it over
C-c-c-come on
Feel this energy
That’s been gone for too long
Yeah I think I’m running out of breath
I am the last of all that’s left
I live my life got no regrets
Like a hammer in a storm where the lightning strikes
Give me answers, leading questions
May I go take a piss?
Gimme bread, daily affirmations
Ignorance is bliss
A calling higher, the work, I put in and perspire
Goes back to music
Question realty, but always grateful in it
Tide it over
C-c-c-come on
Feel this energy
That’s been gone for too long
Tide it over
C-c-c-come on
Feel this energy
That’s been gone for too long
Yeah I think I’m running out of breath
I am the last of all that’s left
I live my life, got no regrets
Like a hammer in a storm where the lightning strikes

Harsh truths and heartbreaks
What goes 'round comes around
Overcompensate
A new low, I just go
Gold tooth and hot takes
Link up when you're in town
Conduit of change
A harsh blow, my ego
Head's up in the clouds, with the wind now
Everything's loud, I take some time out
Head's up in the clouds, with the wind now
Everything's loud, I take some time out
I am ill-disciplined
I am a one-off game
I am the world's to tame
Take it slow, on I go
I am a range machine
I am a new car's sheen
I am the worst I've seen
A faint glow, I see through
Head's up in the clouds, with the wind now
Everything's loud, I take some time out
Head's up in the clouds, with the wind now
Everything's loud, I take some time out

Been obeying
At the beck and call
Of all of your commands
Neverending now
What’s the rationale
You been playing
Games with lives that you don’t understand
Try to feel it out
But it goes on and on and on and on
You been saying
The end’s to come
But my wits’ at its end
Try to feel it out
I never give it out
Another life another day
There has to be a better way
I don’t trust the things they say
Pray that tomorrow’s better day
But I guess you’ve grown
Up or apart
And I understand
That this is the end
But you’ve always be a part
Of my life
Always have been
Since I was sixteen
Through the good times, bad times, MHC has always been amazing
2016 listening to wannabes
2021 shows are where I wannabe
Looking back as kid I was cringey and wack
But to all the shows that I’ve seen I will never take it back
Like ugh
Never miss being alone
Though in loneliness the only soul you feed is your own
It’s bars like that that got me through the shit
Fuck school fuck the army they can suck my dick
Get so drunk that I forgot who’s who
Make a fool outta myself at shows but it’s cool
Never felt like I belonged never knew what to do
Just me myself and I plugged in to the crew
(Danikiddo’s verse)
Yeah, uh, man, uh
I swear this kid will be the death of me
Chasing shirts till the sunrise ahead of me
Back when we was kids, boy you always questioned me
Asking when we’re dropping when we playing shows especially
If there’s an OG then I know his name
Yeah he kinda lame wearing mullets with the tacky chains
Billy goat of fans cause he always talk incessantly
But that’s the very shit I needed as a prodigy
We was youngin fresh faces with the centre parts
Out in front rows while we were out there breaking hearts
I’m amazed at the love out on centre stage
Better wage hedge your bets Yackem screaming up in spades
Better days been a ways and a while now
Wild child grown never ever would've known how
Sippy cups traded breakdowns
Magnificent
Isaac and the band let ‘em play me out in unison
Let ‘em play me out in unison
Yeah man, let ‘em play me out in unison
Isaac and the band let ‘em play me out in unison
Isaac in demand now, fuck, what?

Changing my mind
Both one of a kind
Can't look me in the eye
I never told a lie
Wisdom for living
Drowning on breathing
I never wondered for a second 'til the why
Do I regret it?
Comprehend it?
Wish you'd forget me so you'd never have to cry
I, just sigh
So long
Hope to see you again
As a friend, can we mend?
Forlorn
For now but never again
In the end, it's all been planned
For long
Before we were born
Playing, in a band
This song
I know I’ve let you down
Growth over serenity
Gave to you the best of me
Shit's always on my mind
Alone but alive in the dead of night
Remembering the wrongs
Reliving the rights
A good run, I had fun
Goodnight
I, just sigh
So long
Hope to see you again
As a friend, can we mend?
Forlorn
For now but never again
In the end, it's all been planned
For long
Before we were born
Playing, in a band
This song
I know I’ve let you down
Growth over serenity
Gave to you the best of me
Shit's always on my mind
Alone but alive in the dead of night
Remembering the wrongs
Reliving the rights
A good run, I had fun
Goodnight
Living lately
Take it easy
I can't piece the world together
You might hate me
Gotta new darling too
Make or break it
Hate to say it
You are everything you chose to be
And hate me
Love you but I wish you grew

I wish I could speak to myself
As a separate me
The new me would also be me
But won't treat me differently
Even though he might be me
No prior ideas of how I should be
Could be a true
friend to myself
Not bash on myself
Not put myself on a shelf
Chasing the wind
We can't all win
We can’t all win
Hey man you need more perspective
Learn lessons from life's electives
I take on my time on my own and I think
Stare in the mirror at the bathroom sink
It's not fair times flies when it's fun
But oh so slow tryna get shit done
Don't speak up just listen in
A sin of omission is still a sin
Chasing the wind
We can't all win
We can’t all win
Chasing the wind
We can't all win
We can’t all win
There is no end
The grind, my love
All my life
I won’t apologise
For taking charge
I live, I breathe, I lead, I speak
Don't wanna trivialise
But it's so hard
I pray, I sleep, I take, I give
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na…
