Enough
02:43
|
|||
To all the souls who can’t be named
I hear your passion and feel your pain
So many people stemmed from one
Together we shall overcome
If now is already too much
Why isn’t now enough?
Another win for sacrifice
Another day, another trial
I’d rather have my mother’s life
Another moment left to time
If now is already too much
Why isn’t now enough?
I know the road’s been long
Lifted in the promise of redemption
With the spirit of my generation
I am someone.
If now is already too much
Why isn’t now enough?

Ça Suffit

À toutes les âmes qui sont sans nom
J'entends votre passion et ressens votre douleur
D'une graine, germe des millions
Tous ensemble nous vaincrons.
Si maintenant c'est déjà trop
Pourquoi maintenant ne suffit pas?
Une autre victoire au prix d'un sacrifice
Un autre jour, un autre procès
J’aurais préféré avoir la vie de ma mère
Une autre femme qu’on a laissé seule se battre
Si maintenant c'est déjà trop.
Pourquoi maintenant ne suffit pas?
Je sais que le chemin a été long
Portée par la promesse d'une rédemption
Avec l’esprit de ma génération
Je suis quelqu’un
Si maintenant c'est déjà trop.
Pourquoi maintenant ne suffit pas?

Basta
02:44
|
|||
A todas las almas sin nombre
Oigo su pasión y siento su dolor
Tantas personas de una emanaron
venceremos juntos
Si ahora ya es demasiado
¿Por qué ahora no basta
Otra victoria para el sacrificio
Otro dia, otro juicio
Prefiero tener la vida de mi madre
Otra mujer luchando sola
Si ahora ya es demasiado
¿Por qué ahora no basta
Sé quel camino ha sido largo
Alsadas en la promesa de la redención
Con el espíritu de mi generación
Yo soy alguien
Si ahora ya es demasiado
¿Por qué ahora no basta

Have Mercy
03:44
|

I’m awake while your dreaming
With your head in your hands
Parting words left repeating
Present day circumstances
Telling tales of legacy
Looking up to the moon
Without wavering you said
Change is coming soon
Don't you wait for me
It's now your time to lead
If we have
If all we have
Is deep regret for taken life
Well then
Patience is our burden
Have mercy
You would have me believing
That I don’t understand
That a soul of a nation
Rests in all of our hands
Asking what you want from me
As we pace round the room
Without wavering I said
What is left to lose?
Don't you wait for me
It's now your time to lead
If we have
If all we have
Is deep regret for taken life
Well then
Patience is our burden
If we have
If all we have
Is deep regret for taken lives
Well then
Patience is our burden, Have mercy

Do Something
02:35
|
|||
There’s a movement that’s been taking over lately
Though you understand that we’ve been here before
Your intention’s kind but it won’t lead to safety
Consistency, action they're all we ask for
I can’t hide
At least for moment
I can’t hide
For more than day
It’s the rise, the weight
The loss, the names
I can’t hide
Do something that you can’t take back from me
There’s a need for standing in no hesitation
There’s no use in hanging somewhere in between
Unless you make your own mistakes
You’ll never find out how much it takes for me
For you to do what you believe
When it’s time to show
we'll do our best with all we know
I can’t hide
At least for moment
I can’t hide
For more than day
It’s the rise, the weight
The loss, the names
I can’t hide
Do something that you can’t take back from me
Bridge (repeat)
Listen we all go running
Said it all with a post and a button
You said it all that’s funny
If you need let the moment remind you

Apathy
03:11
|
|||
Dark sheets, cigarettes and beer
Hold me, like I'm really here
Insecure love affair
Watching TV looking for a mirror
High life, this is how it feels
I begin
Dosing up - Puts my mind at ease
Muted cries, scream please
One too many and I love to reveal
That Ignorance is bliss
And I love it here
Singing there will be no encore
A state of mind unmatched
Under the spell of apathy
Dark sheets, cigarettes and beer
Hold me, like you want me here
Insecure love affair
Living vessels for the matinee
Pressure is never far away
All that I really care for is
Dosing up - Puts my mind at ease
Muted cries, scream please
One too many and I want to reveal
That Ignorance is bliss
And I love it here
Singing there will be no encore
A state of mind unmatched
Under the spell of apathy
instrumental
Singing there will be no encore
A state of mind unmatched
Under the spell of apathy

These Times (Live Demo)
01:51
|
|||
They say that we’re free and then I turn on our news
And another sister has been taken too
They tell us we’re brave when we march in the streets
Not understanding we’re marching for our own humanity
So I say be quiet to the man who talks in my ear
With the privilege but no initiative
I say be quiet to the voice won’t disappear
But is unsettled when I don’t play the game
Be smart, our legacy will long outlast us
I cannot wait for the day
Take my breath away
These times I’ll wait
I cannot wait for the day
Take my breath away
These times I’ll wait

Consider This
01:35
|
|||
I used to walk
On my way to school
I’d walk across Hackney Downs
Singing Endlessly
I remember
How people lost their homes
Moved around
caught between identities
Now Coffee shops £6 a cup attract a different crowd
A conscious act that soon impacts the council’s disavowal
If I ask you one thing
Will you, Consider This?
Does it feel abrupt?
When council flats becomes mixed income homes
Like their money and class will trickle down
Properties left empty while their owners are abroad
Mean, high rise flats that no one here
would ever dream to afford
I guess government cuts mean no leisure for the poor
While the rhetoric from leadership tells us we can have it all!
If I ask you one thing,
Will you, Consider This?
