Middle Fingers Up
'Cuz everything's corrupt
Middle Fingers Up
'Cuz they keep fumbling up

Middle Fingers Up
If you hate sitting ducks
Middle Fingers Up
If you hate all these schmucks

Even if built diffy
Your situation's iffy

Everything's chalked
But they're making it worse

Poems without a meaning
Their weapons are still gleaming

World's past all hope
But they're making it worse

Right out the gate
We go out for a quick bullish endgame
Queenside attack into
Smothered mate and counterattack

Middle Fingers Up
'Cuz everything's corrupt
Middle Fingers Up
'Cuz they keep things held shut

Middle Fingers Up
'Cuz colours are all fake
Middle Fingers Up
'Cuz everything's insane

Veil of lies but all for what

Everything's chalked
But they're making it worse

All behind the tablecloth

World's past all hope
But they're making it worse

Right out the gate
We go out for a quick bullish endgame
Queenside attack into
Smothered mate and counterattack

Right out the gate
We go out for a quick bullish endgame

If you love throwing shade
Middle Fingers Up
If you want to make them pay

Keep criticising
They'll have to cave in

Everything's chalked
But they're making it worse

Make a bad big stink
They'll have to cave in

World's past all hope
But they're making it worse

Right out the gate
We go out for a quick bullish endgame
Queenside attack into
Smothered mate and counterattack

Rusted from the Rain
But always done it my way
It ain't in my blood
But it's in my world
Can't be perfect when I haven't met you yet
It ain't in my blood
But it's in my world
We lay down the lives
We lay it on the line
It ain't in my blood
But it's in my world
See the crabs in the bucket
But it's nothin' just yet
It ain't in my blood
But it's in my world

Share the shelter, share the land
Everyone's moment had gone to pass
Am I still waiting? Have I gone too deep?
Take my hand and rock with me
Silence still deafening
Still love everything about you
Could we end up like this?
You say good morning when it's time for bed
My sleepy head

Heart of gold, rocking in the free world
Live the highway like it's one hockey game
Dream come true, no longer sucks to be you
A little too ironic but it's right on cue

Rusted from the Rain
But always done it my way
It ain't in my blood
But it's in my world
Can't be perfect when I haven't met you yet
It ain't in my blood
But it's in my world
We lay down the lives
We lay it on the line
It ain't in my blood
But it's in my world
See the crabs in the bucket
But it's nothin' just yet
It ain't in my blood
But it's in my world

Taking all night just to finish this song
And they sing the flying man's song
Living with me must have dang near killed you
But I'm still crying over you
99 more problems as adulthood looms
Teens are still dancing while still in their rooms
Sunglasses at night in the scene of the crime
Do they make it?

Throats run real dry and our minds get real fried
Just need a drink so we can start to think
Everything's in my heart and it goes on

Rusted from the Rain
But always done it my way
It ain't in my blood
But it's in my world
Can't be perfect when I haven't met you yet
It ain't in my blood
But it's in my world
We lay down the lives
We lay it on the line
It ain't in my blood
But it's in my world
See the crabs in the bucket
But it's nothin' just yet
It ain't in my blood
But it's in my world

When time flies high and dry
There's a way to rebound
Strike, ride fly, tight reply
Visions are still profound

No delay, garbage day
Aim for the bowl to find rock and roll and we
Rage full on for Argonne
Thus we will earn our name

We muster up, we find the dub
We prove that these opponents cheat
We make the run, we find the rung
We prove that these kids never breathe
The clock hits twelve, we hear the bell
We're in for the biggest time of our lives

This is our way of life, this is who we are
This is art, do our part, work is still subpar
When the world falls apart, people look at stars
People's hearts break apart, this is who we are

When the weight takes its toll
When the trolls take the bowl
And the stories have shown
They got ducks in a row
Bullies running the show
Worst has still yet to blow
This is the end of the road

Heart of the cards have shown us what we just are
Will you swear to our final breath?
We play this game until we fall to the grave
Will we finally make our name?

We consume the pill that's hard to swallow
In the hopes we get answers to this
But there's nothing in this god forsaken world

We consume the pill that's hard to swallow
In the hopes we get answers to this
But there's nothing in this god forsaken world

This is our way of life, this is who we are

When the weight takes its toll
When the trolls take the bowl
And the stories have shown
They got ducks in a row
Bullies running the show
Worst has still yet to blow
This is the end of the road

When is the end of all these robots we slay?
Will you stick to the game we play?
We play this game until we fall to the grave
Will we finally make our name?

We consume the pill that's hard to swallow
In the hopes we get answers to this
But there's nothing in this god forsaken world

We're fighting fire with fire
These kids won't go very far
We blow through all the madness
Through it all
Through it all

No effectiveness of ethics in a system built through treason
Every law is just a weapon, justice as a so-called reason
Truth is bottled, honour's hollow, sent to gallows every season
Loyalty's a loaded lie they gaslight launch like it's appeasing

They hide themselves in their little lies they harbour inside
Become one with me

We live through weekends that won't lift us up
We ditch the old shoes but there's no new stuff
We find out the old way just to win some bucks
It's the 10-pick parlay

Flags are fabrications raised up high above the graveyards of saints
People bashed by tyrants raking blood for more hate and war complaints
Rights are relics, shattered writings under regimes that never faint
Conscience crushed beneath boots, no restraint

They hide themselves in their little lies they harbour inside
Become one with me

In the midnight, we fight the plight
Take the flight to the light
In the midday we pave the way
Then we head to the hay

Bones turn to stone, path was just blown, into depths far unknown
Soon it's the tomb, from all the wounds, it's all doom and the gloom

Time is dying, ice is thawing, vices rising, we all fade to black

Put me out of my rotten misery

Time's a tickin' down, a frantic, drastic sound,
My hand hovers, pieces fight across the ground
(not literally, but my mind's a mess, you see),
A pawn break, a knight fork, what's it gonna be?
Sweatin' on the brow, position starts to blur,
A seed of doubt or hope, a silent, panicked stir.
Just seconds left, the pressure starts to bite,
Gotta make a move, gotta make it right.

Time scramble goes on
Just like this stupid song
The board comes alive, destiny for you and me
Once the brilliancies are found
There goes all of the hounds
Those pillars of five, destiny

Pieces fly, check is nigh, we sacrifice
A coordination across the diagonal
Desperate try, still precise, in lack of time
High tensions game is really getting tactical

Running low, a desperate show, but we're on a roll
So we use the sacrifice to take a chance
Feel the rush, feel the hush, before the clutch
To the checkmate I made, I take one last glance

Onlookers draw their breaths, and colder is the air,
Press the lever, draw the never, silent, desperate prayer.
The opponent's shook, I give him a sharp gaze,
I set the trap, staying calm in the frantic haze.
A blunder looms, a sacrifice in sight,
Both flags are soon to fall, but we're almost at the light.
The flicker, the trigger, my pawn becomes a queen,
It was just in time that I struck and intervened!

Time scramble goes on
Just like this stupid song
The board comes alive, destiny for you and me
Once the brilliancies are found
There goes all of the hounds
Those pillars of five, destiny

Pieces fly, check is nigh, we sacrifice
A coordination across the diagonal
Desperate try, still precise, in lack of time
High tensions game is really getting tactical

Running low, a desperate show, but we're on a roll
So we use the sacrifice to take a chance
Feel the rush, feel the hush, before the clutch
To the checkmate I made, I take one last glance

Clocks are silent now, the tension's died and eased.
Made a pawn a queen, my victory appeased.
Adrenaline fades, and twilight's filling the room.
I come home, finally ending all the gloom.
I replay the moves; the blunders and the saves.
I'm shaking off the stress like gentle ocean waves.
One more day of this, new challenges to face!
But tonight I sleep at my own peaceful pace.

Time scramble goes on
Just like this stupid song
The board comes alive, destiny for you and me
Once the brilliancies are found
There goes all of the hounds
Those pillars of five, destiny

Pieces fly, check is nigh, we sacrifice
A coordination across the diagonal
Desperate try, still precise, in lack of time
High tensions game is really getting tactical

Running low, a desperate show, but we're on a roll
So we use the sacrifice to take a chance
Feel the rush, feel the hush, before the clutch
To the checkmate I made, I take one last glance

vocal synths used: HXVOC

Slow pace is eating us alive
Stomach's eating itself not gonna lie
Staring at the board I could go for some food
Maybe pizza should be good in this neighbourhood

Clock ticks it's almost time to go
There's no groceries left, just stones at home
Wondering if storm will worsen on its own
Hold tight

When the pizza's getting made
Don't delay it hit the lanes to seize the day
When the kids come out to play
Happy birthday, get the deck of cards to lay

When the desperation's worse
Think of pizza, play Sicilian Defence
And then sing another verse
as the game is getting more and more intense

Get scrappy, with tactics
They're just throwing bricks to see what really sticks
Get crackin', with dragons
Fianchetto then you push your blue flag on

Clock ticks it's almost time to play
There's no oddities left, just games to slay
Hell or high water we set boards ablaze unfazed
Hold tight

When the pizza's getting made
Don't delay it hit the lanes to seize the day
When the kids come out to play
Happy birthday, get the deck of cards to lay

When the desperation's worse
Think of pizza, play Sicilian Defence
And then sing another verse
as the game is getting more and more intense

It sounds like garbage day
All burning down in spades
Find ways out in this maze
Sicilian, Sicilian

It sounds like garbage day
All burning down in spades
Find ways out in this maze
Sicilian, Sicilian

〖HXVOC〗 Remove the Defender - Sicilian Defence 〖10-string guitar original〗

Special thanks to Guillotama for providing the vocal work! She's a natural rockstar!

The seat of truth is in danger
The mob begins its rounds
Despite the naysayers' anger
The spell will doom themselves

The people spoke in the hangar
They want it all changed back
They're clearly smelling the cheddar
They want peace while it lasts

Tales from the bedlam
They never fade
They slay the beldam
New one takes her place
We see the cauldron
Then they mix away
What is this mess?

Strength in Numbers
Armies sundered

Relentless Force
With enough power we make it
Relentless Force
We got this in the bag
Relentless Force
Will we make it or break it?
Relentless Force
We got this in the bag

One king was born in a manger
And ended on a cross
Another took mum's arranger
She left from the blood loss
The people still want a banger
Without the consequence
It only gave them the dumpster
But what did they expect?

Tales from the bedlam
They never fade
They slay the beldam
New one takes her place
We see the cauldron
Then they mix away
What is this mess?

Sweet in sour
Pains in power

Relentless Force
With enough power we make it
Relentless Force
We got this in the bag
Relentless Force
Will we make it or break it?
Relentless Force
We got this in the bag

One last standoff to fight
We must win to make it home alive
Crush what's below and strike
Final call to arms and strife for time
Here we go only to meet my one last breath
Here we go only to meet this city's end
Through the lake, by the gate to go meet my fate

[Miku] One Minute Winter - Water Hazard

This was written in light of the many people that were killed by police officers suspected of racist bias. Although some of the vocals didn't come out as clearly as we had hoped, we did make this a name-your-price track to demonetise a track that was written in memory of the deceased.

Vocaloids used: Miku, Luka-Straight, Rin, Len (all V4 English)

All those years we were singled out, left high and dry
They segregate the people yet they call themselves all civilised
Horrors of which that they do, you read it all in a book
You can see the WWII and all the crimes they undertook in it

What is it that prevents from pure equality?
The enemy around us all, the enemies of peace

A man was pinned to the shaming and grin
Freebie couple of game bags due to the colour of their skins
Another free kill just because of a mental state
And the people all over protest, falls on deaf ears
Free reign to the state

What is it that prevents from pure equality?
The enemy around us all, the enemies of peace
They try to justify but none can deny
The enemy around us all are still there to deprive

I've seen the slavery
Chain of being
I've seen the gluttony
Green with envy
I've seen the dead of night
Holy warzone
I've seen the war and pride
Honour killing

Who do we stand for?
George Floyd
Who do we stand for?
Brionna Taylor
Who do we stand for?
Janisha Fonville
Who do we stand for?
Alton Sterling
Who do we stand for?
Freddy Gray
Who do we stand for?
Eric Garner
Who do we stand for?
Stephon Clark
Who do we stand for?
Philando Castille

All those years we were singled out, left high and dry
They segregate the people yet they call themselves all civilised
Horrors of which that they do, you read it all in a book
You can see the WWII and all the crimes they undertook in it

What is it that prevents from pure equality?
The enemy around us all, the enemies of peace
They try to justify but none can deny
The enemy around us all are still there to deprive
