lyrics

We’re all born with high hopes
But somewhere along the way

We lose that sense of light
Exchanged for a prayer of mediocrity
Please don’t let the bad things happen
Please just let me, get through the day

Day after day
Week after week
If I just get through this
I can sleep and eat

What a worthless excuse for existence
Sleeping your days away
In a conscious haze

Dreamers of the world unite
We have naught to lose but our chains
We will fix this place

Rise up towards the unknown
With an explorer’s mind
Leave your doubts behind

Take the fight to them
Inspire others
We shall have ourselves a revolution

Why hope for better things
When the world seems hellbent
On burning itself to the ground?

How can we even go on?
Pretending we’re not on the brink of total destruction

Things may seem bleak for the moment
Allow yourself to see the bigger picture
So many of us care
So many of us are fighting for this

Giving up won’t achieve a thing
Wouldn’t you rather stand for something
Than die thinking “oh what if?”

No hope!
No flicker of light
No ember or spark of humanity

Just the guilt
Collective guilt and grief
Yet we still have so much more to lose

Patronise someone else
We’re powerless against the powers that be

There’s no way to go but down

Bound by the deconstruction of self
Where does a collective even play a part
In an egocentric economy
Reliant on self destruction?

Why hope for better things
When we can demand them
Fight for them
Claim the world as our own

Why hope for better things
When we can take back what's ours
Money and power
Illusions the bureaucrats
claimed as their own

Why hope for better things
When we can hit them where it hurts
Hit them where it counts

Why hope for better things
When we can demand them

Mongrel - The Number Twelve Looks Like You
by Silent Pendulum Records

An absolute game changer in the world of mathcore. The Number Twelve have released nothing but masterpieces but Mongrel is arguably their magnum opus. Kilpréz

The Parallax II: Future Sequence
by Between the Buried and Me

BTBAM will always have a place in my heart. From my first time hearing Mordecai to seeing them repeatedly, every chance I get, their musicianship and songwriting are top notch. Kilpréz

Crimes (Bonus Track Version)
by The Blood Brothers

The true kings of sass! The Blood Brothers are certainly an acquired taste but once you "get it", there's no way back. Without these guys and Daughters, the sassy elements of Kilpréz would not exist. Kilpréz
