lyrics

well im phasing out from the gun
and i keep my guesses for sure
you cant keep me out on the run
anymore

[VERSE 1]
generation conflicting agendas
more money. more kids. less peace referendum
love. drugs and war all mixed in the blender
oppressing your colour. dividing your gender
tried to be honest repeating false promise
of better tomorrow though already lost it
ticked all the boxes. taxed all the wallets.
blacked out the problem not yours i got it

i hate when they tell me be patient
doctors stay waiting killing off patients
painting our faces with blood from the manger
radio stations brain washing and lacing
i hate when they tell me stay silent
deciphering lying from all pontius pilates
i am the pilot who shone ultra violet
lit up the violence told cities to riot

well im phasing out from the gun
and i keep my guesses for sure
you cant keep me out on the run
anymore

[VERSE 2]
ideology permits the most common of sense
hop in a benz that consumed all your cents
the fumes and expense that confuse all your ment-
al but in all i’m sure you'll repent
women and men predesigned for the sin
heaven and hell think ill go there again
maybe next year if i’m homeless again
faded or famous? either i guess
addiction confliction my problem dont see that
cause honestly drugs are cheaper than rehab
so easy to judge forearm in a belt
but both of those items came quicker than help
unemployed sicker. more riches more health
more bitches. more wealth. no money. yourself
giving the prospect to conquer all objects.
shots to the chess. pawns in the projects.

well im phasing out from the gun
and i keep my guesses for sure
you cant keep me out on the run
anymore

hope isn’t home. faith is so gone. our fate predetermined. written in stone/
king to a queen to a clown to a great
trapped by the money screaming chequemate

well im phasing out from the gun
and i keep my guesses for sure
you cant keep me out on the run
anymore

[VERSE 3]
freedom of speech. read it and weep
laying a wreath oil in reefs
trying to reach all you can be
cuts mean nobody can teach
tried to voice nobody was hearing it
unemployed yeah lack of experience
real world just went and got scary bitch
school of hard knocks on 19th period
we make noise. does it mean much?
mumbles over screens we touch
work that job you hate for a cheque to cash in
then spend that cash on bullshit distractions
some call it life but i call it lies
better tomorrow becomes polarised
they wanna take you from you.
thats i for i
futures looking bright hypothectically
cause if we’re not drowning we/’ll die in the heat
blind leading blind.
walking in circles
elected those leaders.
the ones who hurt you
losing touch with my adolescence
bitches. depression. addiction. obsession
my message ain’t massive its just a confession
my sentence was born and birth is death sentence

well im phasing out from the gun
and i keep my guesses for sure
you cant keep me out on the run
anymore
