angelofthemoon I love this album! The title track had me instantly in tears but it offered the angry catharsis I need when I think about the plight of our trans siblings… The songs are honest, thoughtful and relatable. I feel the heavy punk and black metal influences, yet Nik manages to do something entirely his own. 🙌🏽🔥

Back in the village Nineteen sixty-nine The tension is rising We're holding the line The sirens are calling The house is a blaze The fags fighting back Cuz it's time for a change Allow our existence and call it a gift While keeping your distance, I'm so sick of it Welcome to hell where we might die alone At least we'll rest easy with our names in the stone Back a year later We march in the streets Showing our power We'll never retreat The times are a changing The world's at an end The streets stained with blood Why we can't comprehend Allow our existence and call it a gift While keeping your distance, I'm so sick of it Welcome to hell where we might die alone At least we'll rest easy with our names written in the stone Allow our existence and call it a gift While keeping your distance, I'm so sick of it Welcome to hell where we might die alone At least we'll rest easy with our names written in the stone

Sometimes you just wanna Throw it all away And burn it to the ground Take a walk through all the ashes stomping on the mound Cuz even when it's good You know it can get bad If I can't make it any better Fuck it I'll go mad Standing still feels just like stepping back When your minds on the attack I'm a malcontent, I don't give a fuck I'm on my way to self destruct I could start a fight Or maybe crash my car Throw away my time And walk into a seedy bar I could quit my job And just live off the dole Go to church on Sunday And pray for my dying soul Standing still feels just like stepping back When your minds on the attack I'm a malcontent, I don't give a fuck I'm on my way to self destruct I'm a timebomb ticking better get out fast My days are numbered better make em last This might be the day that i blow us all away And see what's left standing after the blast Standing still feels just like stepping back When your minds on the attack I'm a malcontent, I don't give a fuck I'm on my way to self destruct

We stare at computer screens all fucking day Look up our friends see what they have to say The sun is shining outside what do you say? Let's go out in the mud and play Touch Touch me Touch someone The world we build is safe from the watchful eye An avatar is just another form of disguise There's others out there too and there not just telling lies So have a conversation and compromise Touch Touch me Touch someone The way we live is meaningless selfish and obsessed Complain about the world in which we have been blessed Humanity has done nothing but progress Our minds are so capable let's put em to the test

Sometimes there aren't just simple answers to the questions of our lives Not everything is a black and white y'know some things just take time Millions of people all these ideas who knows which ones are right Process of elimination takes to long we need someone to decide Decide Tell me what's the answer Tell me what's the word I don't know but I'm pretty sure It's not what we preferred Everyone wants to know But we don't wanna wait We'll just stand here taking sides In the endless debate In this world who can you trust everybody's looking out for themselves Taking anyone who doesn't see it there way and damn them straight to hell Everybody wants something no body gives why can't we just get along Compromise is a funny thing when it makes us all so strong So strong Tell me what's the answer Tell me what's the word I don't know but I'm pretty sure It's not what we preferred Everyone wants to know But we don't wanna wait We'll just stand here taking sides In the endless debate Tell me what's the answer Tell me what's the word I don't know but I'm pretty sure It's not what we preferred Everyone wants to know But we don't wanna wait We'll just stand here taking sides In the endless debate

My hearts racing and I don't know why I can't breathe am I gonna die? Tunnel vision I can't see What the hell is happened to me? Hand are numb but I don't care I just need a little air I just wanna run away I can't take another day Another sleepless night Another wasted day I can't take much more Please just go away I need something for this rush It's been a whole so it won't take much The sweet stench fills my nose Dumb relief is oh so close Oh god what have I done Back slide has just begun God damn it feels so good I can't/won't stop even though I should Another sleepless night Another wasted day I can't take much more Please just go away Another sleepless night Another wasted day I can't take much more Please just go away
