Cognitive Dissonance

Passing time before the next let down
Nothing changes it's the same as we've seen before
Efforts made in vain
Cos it's safe to say
We still feel the strain
Keep it to yourself
It only falls on deaf ears
As if we're gluttons for punishment
As if we asked to be here
It's not like you'd have it any other way
With promises as empty as the words they say
Nothing left to answer for
Nothing left to give
Adding to this cancer as it eats my will to live
They wouldn't have it any other way
But we wouldn't have it any other way
Hold our heads down until we drown
If we can't breathe then how long can we endure?
Cos under here I can see crystal clear
See you choking when you know you can't explain
Cognitive dissonance
Cognitive dissonance
It's not like you'd have it any other way
Promises as empty as the words they say
It's not like you'd have it any other way
It's not like we would have it any other way

Fed a Line

Pick yourself up look around
All that's lost can still be found
I doubt that we can take much more
Cos it's nothing like we've seen before
We're too distracted now to see things for ourselves
We never draw the line or question their intent
When it's more than evident
Far too preoccupied as we fight between ourselves
Watch them divide and conquer
While they share our wealth between themselves
Cos it's abundantly clear by now we've been fed a line
But we keep acting and telling ourselves everything is fine
It's just the way you fall for it
Every time
Every time they fail to mention it
It's just the way you fall for it
Every time
Every time you fail to question it
It's just the way you fall for it
It's just the way you fall for it
It's just the way you fall for it
It's just the way you fall for it
It's just the way you fall for it

Complacency

Blurting out the first thing that comes to mind
Dressed in wisdom when we fear what we don't understand
Cos lately the truth is hard to find
But ignorance leads to consequence
So we're clinging to the hopes that clarity can be still be found
And it's safe to say that the logic is anything but sound
But still we move irrespective of faulty points of perspective
And every step is determined as nothing more than subjective
And I'm learning now our senses have been confined
And despite our intentions we are all but blind
But if there's one thing that we share
Abundantly
Is the certainly of the lies we cannot bear
Avoiding the obvious fact that we're stuck in way over our heads
Exploiting oblivious eyes that we already know are misled
Cos it comes back to haunt us and always reminds us to take heed of all that we've said
Burning bridges I just can't envisage how we return from this
And it's counterproductive to say that we're out of this mess
And I wish I could get to the point oh but I digress
Burning out's the last thing that comes to mind
We're complacent to the things that we don't understand
But they linger never far behind
The consequence of our ignorance

Brookehorse Birmingham, UK
Brookehorse are a 4 piece post-hardcore band from Birmingham, UK.

melodic choruses and aggression, they take influence from the early 2000’s post-hardcore sound.
The band cut their teeth on the underground hardcore and metal scene before recording their debut EP “My Downfall is My Own Design”.
