Half Hanged 00:47
lyrics
buy track
The rope was an improvisation For her neighbours’ patience had fled She was known for her strong willed nature Thus the peasants had wanted her dead You may leave her all night in your hatred You may dare to come witness her dread But next morn, as you look for her body Half hanged Mary will take yours instead

Mary 03:13

Shocker, someone is afraid No self reflection, so you put your eyes on me She’s a rocker, a demon she must be As you lack the vocabulary of women who are free Not a witch, but woman and able Just a bitch, born in the stables We are neighbours, but only when you choose it When the scales tip in my favour, time for you to construe it Hang me by the rope Don’t wait for me to choke Hang me by the rope Don’t wait for me to choke You should have helped me then As I had helped you, friend But when the fire has died They gather the torches up to the sky I should have known back then Fear and hate knows no end But when I hang in the sky for a night Innocence has died I'm a fucking witch now Hang me by the rope Don’t wait for me to choke Hang me by the rope Don’t wait for me to choke Hang me by the rope Don’t wait for me to choke String me to the highest of trees, best be sure that I’m dead, cause I’m coming for thee I am the witch, I am the witch I am the witch, I am the witch I am the witch, I am the witch I am the witch, I am the witch I am the witch, I am the witch I am the witch, I am the witch I am the witch, I am the witch This is what you made I became the thing you hate I am the witch I am the witch I am the witch, I am the witch, I am the witch I am, I am, I am I am the witch I am the witch I am the witch, I am the witch, I am the witch I am, I am, I am I am the witch

Blind 03:02
lyrics

Focus on me, focus on me. I think I got what you like Focus on me, focus on me. I got the perfect light Focus on me, focus on me. I only need one more like Inside I'm pure, but outside I’m blind Creators aren’t using A product that’s abusing but market for the masses and cover up their asses Human innovation For social stimulation If you don’t buy the product Then the product is you Use your head and you will find Misdirection by design Close your eyes for peace of mind Voluntarily be blind Do you have the time to kill Say you don't, but know you will Wondering how it makes you feel Does it fucking matter still? The war on beauty is tearing us apart But I look pretty, I look pretty, I look like a star The war on socials is tearing us apart But I look pretty, I look like a star We must protect the children Before perfection kills them We must protect the children Before perfection kills them We must protect the children Before perfection kills them We must protect the children Before perfection kills them We must protect the children Before perfection kills them Get off of those screens The socialite machine Oversharing isn’t caring If you don't stop comparing The life of a phony No one’s ever been this lonely We must protect the children Before perfection kills them

Warning Sign 03:14
lyrics

If you ignore a warning sign for too long Does it show trust or a lack thereof? If you ignore a warning sign for too long Are you deserving of help? If you ignore a warning sign for too long Does it show knowledge or fear? If you ignore a warning sign for too long Oh no, oh no, it's here And do you think you are the exception to the rule? Probably not There are some exceptions But if everyone goes running around thinking they are the exception, Well, then there's no rule anymore So do you think you are the exception to the rule You, do you, you special you? Do you really think you alone are the exception to the rule? Well, well, do you? Oh no, it happened And everyone was there All your friends were there And everyone was there, just like in your nightmare You were not alone But it wasn't the good kind of not being alone This is your warning sign

Now here’s a little song for the people that are bitching Just take my advice: don’t be bitching, just be witching You keep spilling drama doll, all you do is whine I don’t need you drama mama, I ain’t got the time No one seems to care about your problems anymore Cause you bore No one seems to care about your problems anymore It’s cause you bore Don’t be bitching, be witching, just leave us alone You drone Don’t wanna hear your voice crying on the phone Go home I ain’t got time for your dramamama I ain’t got time for your drama I ain’t got time for your dramamama Time for your drama I ain’t got time for your dramamama Time for your drama I ain’t got time for your dramamama Time for your drama Time Time, time, time, time, time, time, time I ain’t got time for your dramamama I ain’t got the time Don’t be bitchin, be witchin Don’t be bitchin, be witchin Don’t be bitchin, be witchin Don’t be bitchin, be witchin Don’t be bitchin, be witchin Don’t be bitchin, be witchin Don’t be bitchin, be witchin Don’t be bitchin, be witchin I ain’t got time for your dramamama Time for your drama I ain’t got time for your dramamama Time for your drama MAMA Time, time, time, time I ain’t got time for your dramamama I ain’t got the, I ain’t got the time

Weary Willy 03:19
lyrics

I wanna wear my knives at the carnival I wanna cause bar fights at the carnival It’s all the family rides and the weather I wanna wear my knives at the carnival I wanna take a big swing with a hammer strong I wanna dance in the sun too, I am done I wanna take a big swing with a hammer strong Bim Bam Weary Willy is back in town To turn that frown around He’s up on stage crying Whilst we’re of laughter dying Weary Willy’s in my bathroom mirror Clenching teeth in a white frowned beard A life of great depression Will turn you to aggression You might think you're living I assure you that you're dead In this park full of zombies It is hard to keep your head Pick your silly horse on the merry Go round and round and round And round and round and round, Till it all powers down So sad, so mad So sad, so mad So sad, so mad So sad, so mad So sad, so sad, so mad So sad, so sad, so mad So sad, so sad, so mad So sad, so sad, so mad Weary Willy is back in town To turn that frown around He’s up on stage crying Whilst we’re of laughter dying Weary Willy is in my bathroom mirror Clenching teeth in a white frowned beard A life of great depression Will turn you to aggression

Back Sabbath 03:07
lyrics

Woow, my back hurts And I haven’t slept for days But I’m alive Just like you I’m not dead (dead, dead, dead, dead) Feeling my body, feeling my mind, I’m outta my head (I’m half hanged now) Back sabbath, back sabbath tonight (dead, dead, dead, dead) Dancing makes me feel so alive They don't control you It's not the things that they said Or the relations you had And you know If you ever take the time to think for yourself You might learn that you might be somebody else Live like you’re supposed to It’ll make it easy and lovely And everybody knows to To get down to the ground Shake your hips to the sound There’s a dance that goes a little like that I’m not dead (dead, dead, dead, dead) Feeling my body, feeling my mind, I’m outta my head Back sabbath, back sabbath tonight (dead, dead, dead, dead) Dancing makes me feel so alive My back doesn’t feel like my own anymore Probably cause I’m getting older It hurts It hurts It hurts, it hurts, it hurts I’m not dead (dead, dead, dead, dead) Dealing with the demons in my head Back sabbath, back sabbath tonight (dead, dead, dead, dead) Dancing makes me feel so alive Alive Alive Alive
