lyrics

Step 1: Remain Calm (demo)

Verse
Uncertainty I think it drives me
I won't promise my heart until I'm guilty
My favourite fortunes gave way to fix
but all I found were lies and debauchery
Feed me famine our hope fades to poverty
When all our leaders can promise is glory
Perseverance won't wait for equality
Condescending lies from transparency

Break
If fools are just architects with no defeat
then we are just jesters grinding our teeth

Pre Chorus
[And now I see it for the first time]
Put down the gun, put down the gun, put down the
[It just burns before my eyes]
Put down the gun, put down the gun, put down the gun!

Chorus
[Why can't you trust me]
My hands are trembling
[I'm not your enemy]
This is all I've got left
[This world is the problem]
My minds gone to madness
[Just breathe in keep listening]
Just give me a reason to shoot
[Your lips are trembling]
I can't take one more
[Can't you release me]
Reason for you to leave
[If moneys the problem]
This is not the end
[Why take my life from me]
Your standing in my way

Verse 2
Catch your breathe you surrogate,
bite your tongue, use your lungs
We can't make sense of this mess,
you're lost out of control.
Shut your mouth, please shoot yourself
I'm a friend, not a foe

Break
Your golden throne must make a lonesome home
An empty bed fit for a king on his own.

Interlude
Step 1: Remain calm
Put down your guns and go run
Step 1: Remain calm
Tell your friends to disarm.

Step 1: Remain Calm.
