The Cause & The Cure

by NO LIARS

Chris Been waiting two long years for this and it doesn't disappoint.

A wonderful throwback to early-mid 00's post-hardcore (Clair de Lune, Alexisonfire, Silent Drive, Silverstein) with a healthy shot of newer-gen aggression (Beartooth, Every Time I Die).

Toss in a heavy dose politically-charged lyricism and this is essentially the perfect album for me. Favorite track: Societies Fall.

Freedom Regime Behold! The freedom regime Spreading their bastardized dream Give the power to the people with The illusion it sets them free And with this dance of liberty The baton moves from seat to seat And now we know that they were listening To every little secret on every screen We're not the simple machines that you assumed us to be We live with love in our hearts - with brothers and sisters in unity We're not the simple machines that you assumed us to be And you'll never take that away from us You call it freedom from oppression But what gives you the right? To install the very heads of state Who destroyed their peoples lives So what the fuck does it matter? Far left or far right They all meet in the middle to take Everybody's life, they want to take our lives

Animal 02:59
Animal My heart is beating fast as blood rushes to my head There's something changing in me - something's changing inside of me My skin is turning black and I feel so primitive My body's setting me free - my body's set me free Am I dead when I howl? Or am I just dreaming? 'Cause when the night's moon is full My inner demons come out in me and I'm an animal My hunger’s setting in and it’s telling me I'm the beast There's something taking over - something is taking over me The flesh and blood it's like a drug and I need to feast My body's setting me free - my body's set me free There's blood on my hands There's blood in my bed I am an animal I am an animal
3.
The Unheard 03:09
The Unheard We are at war with the earth We have infested our home like a curse We are the lovers that try to make sense We are the killers that take away innocence We are the dead screaming in vain Wishing our generation won't do the same We are the past representing your future We are the ones who had warned and refused you We will burn with the sun We are together as one We are the reckless dividing our world We are the fear bestowed in every boy and girl We are the preachers but no one is listening We are the teachers but know one is learning We sit as silence destroys our beliefs We are the virus that spreads the disease We are the dreamers believing there's hope here We are the faceless that wander the atmosphere No hope on earth could save us No prayers will ever be heard If we could make these changes If we could only be heard
4.
Guilt Trip 03:49
Guilt Trip I've got all this guilt around my heart And if I let it out now its gonna tear me apart If I could go back now and do it all again I'd say goodbye to you Oppressive greys muted tones empty vessels apathetic eyes Empty conversations about the weather and how everything's just fine What if we had the courage to say all the things we really meant? Like I love you, I miss you, and don't be afraid - it'll be all right in the end This has been a long time coming (let it go, let it go) There were things that I never said to you (let it go, let it go) Now every time that I look in the mirror (let it go, let it go) All that i can see is you (let it go, let it go) I've got all this guilt around my heart And if I let it out now its gonna tear me apart If I could go back now and do it all again I could say goodbye to you, I'd say goodbye to you my friend
5.
The Displaced When you go, take me with you An unprecedented 65.3 million people around the world have been forced from their homes Among them are nearly 21.3 million refugees Over half of whom are under the age of 18 My god they've got me running for my life again This was our country this was our home So please don't forget us when you go, when you go I've waited all my life and I'm dying to know So please don't forget us when you go, when you go There are 10 million stateless people who have been denied a nationality and access to basic rights Such as education, healthcare, employment and freedom of fucking movement When you go take me with you We live in a world where nearly 34,000 people are forcibly displaced every day as a result of conflict or persecution
6.
This Hell I Call Home Hello again my friend I've missed you tell me where the fuck you've been You've made a home inside my head I kept you fed until you left I thought I gave you what you asked me for? How could you leave me here to be ignored? My patience wearing thin, oh where do I begin to draw the line? I'm gonna shout at the world, look what they've done to me I'm gonna shout at the world, look what they've done to us And you'll all pay because you called me crazy Unwilling victims of a selfish world You look so sweet but don't you try and save me I'll drag you down into this hell I call my home Goodbye again my friend, is this the end? Or just where we began? You'll push the buttons and I'll hit record The way you left will never be ignored My patience gone now where's your god and all your patriotic slurs I'm gonna shout at the world, look what they've done to me I'm gonna shout at the world, look what they've done to us
7.
Consumed 02:45
Consumed Just wait for the moment The moment when it all hits you And each and every nation Don't act like you own me I'm not about to be consumed And not by the likes of you Your hands in dirt So you can show the press exactly how you work High rise poison Another level now aren't we having fun? And this is what you wanted So finish what you started 'Cause this is what you aimed for? Is this what you use your fame for? Just wait for the moment The moment when it all hits you And each and every nation Don't act like you own me I'm not about to be consumed And not by the likes of you You smile and wave Not understanding a single word they say And you look so fake Pretending this is just a game that you can play So this is what you wanted So this is what you started cause this is what you aimed for Is this what you use your fame for? This is what you're paying for Just wait for it
8.
Faceless 04:10
Faceless My face is a mirror carved in the shape of a man’s Features melt into reflection, structures set in sand Am I losing my integrity, or is this change my only friend Am I losing myself again I seem to drift in silence, endless days turn into nights I don't know why I'm so angry, I have no-one to stand and fight I'll roam these streets forever, searching for nothing at all And with no rhyme or reason, these pills will swallow me whole Now I know what I didn't then, they say that nothing lasts forever Now I know what I didn't then My faith is a mirror carved in the shape of a man Features melt into reflection, structures set in sand Am I losing my integrity, or is this change my only friend Am I losing myself again And when you look in my eyes do you see yourself or all that I'm not? And all my flaws and imperfections are written in the space between my lines of thought Am I lying to myself? Or are you doing the lying for me? Am I lying to myself? Or are you lying?
9.
Justified Sacrifice So here we are again at the edge of the precipice The very hands that hold us upright are the same that pushed us off the edge They tried to sell the story with sound bytes and bullet points Does that make you judge or jury? The talking heads know just who's wrong or right Justified totalitarian display Sacrifice all integrity You used to search for the truth, and now you hunt for blame Betray the public opinion, again and again We have been lead like sheep into the lions den And we're not coming back again We know you're loyal puppets but just who pulls the strings? So fuck your hidden agendas, your bureaucrats will feel our pain
10.
Societies Fall You feel the doubt creep down your spine as you lay in your bed I know more than anyone we're running out of hope and regret They're gonna make you a martyr an example must be set I know more than anyone this kinda life just ain't worth living So say it with contempt your nation will be your death We're all just victims here the establishment needs fresh blood To fill the streets of the poor So wake the fuck up And see this rising tide of hate will drown us all I know more than anyone the rhetoric can't save the lives of civilians just like us I know more than anyone the way we're going can't be undone This is just the start, societies fail, societies fall So bow your heads and say you'll kill in the name of this united state We've seen this all before, the grand facade of the man in charge So buy every word he says, ‘till he's pissing on your grave
11.
The Cause and the Cure I'll be the one with all that you need The only one who hears the words that you speak I'll be the cause, and I'll be the cure And I'll let you know that you have nothing at all to fear I'll be the slaughter, and you be the lamb I'll be the time that slips right out of your hands I'll be the secret that you can't hide And I'll be the whisper that keeps you up at night I'll be anything that you want me to be I'll be a lifeline that's just out of reach I'll remember every word that you say And I'll use them against you while I'm lying through my teeth Because you mean nothing to me Oh, 'cause you mean nothing to me
