Lyrics

From Melbourne, Australia
To Limerick, Ireland
What's good Arryn?
You think they ready for this one?
I don't know
Let's go
Why, at times I wonder why
I wonder whats the reason you won't look me in my eye
(In my eye, huh)
Lie, all you do is lie
Thats why I keep my circle close, Im down for me and mine
(Me and mine)
Rise, one day we gon rise
Build a better world, free from all the fear and lies
(Fear and lies, yeah)
Eyes, I see it in your eyes
How will we reach the pearly gates if we afraid to fly?
(Afraid to fly)
Safety off I'm going in
Careful who you call friend
Devil don't come from the back
He come from the darkness lurking within
Everybody tryna win, so quick to pretend
Betrayal don't come from your enemies
It come from the man that shake your hand
Dabbing you up while he's smiling
Cheshire grin but then he's silent
Your instincts told you then
You didn't listen, now it's final
You don't know what he's hiding
Shit went down and you stood beside him
Now he's singing your name in the garda station
Dirty hands on the bible
Red sky on the horizon
Cat food when they find him
Cursed himself with his lies
There goes another karmic cycle
Fuck the judge and the jury
And the media, same poison
Read between the fucking lines
No justice is on this island
Half the dáil too dumb to lead
But the problem is much wider
Cause the other half corrupt and greedy
Sold us out now we dying
Sometimes I think about Mayans
If the world ended and we survived it
Feel like everyone out for themselves
While this new world is rising
Why, at times I wonder why
I wonder whats the reason you won't look me in my eye
(In my eye, huh)
Lie, all you do is lie
Thats why I keep my circle close, Im down for me and mine
(Me and mine)
Rise, one day we gon rise
Build a better world, free from all the fear and lies
(Fear and lies, yeah)
Eyes, I see it in your eyes
How will we reach the pearly gates if we afraid to fly?
(Afraid to fly)
Relationships are funny
Say you hate me, mean you love me
She wanted a man she could control
While she stripping making that money
I said more power to you
But you must be tripping cause thats not me
I want a girl that stay loyal
That I know nobody could ever take from me
If you can't be real with yourself
How could you ever be real with a family
Go get your bag and jet
But don't just sit if you rally can't stand me
Don't get it twisted I'm vexed
But I don't let it show that I'm angry
She said it was just texts
Until she come home from fucking her plan b
Now she's talking 'bout plan b
Plan c, get the fuck out
Find another man with lower standards than me
Cause I've shut down
That was the day my trust died
She was heartless, so she crushed mine
Loyalty is the hardest thing
In this fucked up world to come by
I don't blame her though
I blame the bullshit playing on her radio
Programming her mind to sell her body
Give away her soul
Everything material
Trade iron chains for gold
When it all comes crashing down
Who's the last to fold
Why, at times I wonder why
I wonder whats the reason you won't look me in my eye
(In my eye, huh)
Lie, all you do is lie
Thats why I keep my circle close, Im down for me and mine
(Me and mine)
Rise, one day we gon rise
Build a better world, free from all the fear and lies
(Fear and lies, yeah)
Eyes, I see it in your eyes
How will we reach the pearly gates if we afraid to fly?
(Afraid to fly)
