1. A.D.
“IF YOU LOOKED AT THE EARTH AS A LIVING ORGANISM
AND YOU WERE FLYING
PASSING OVER THESE BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAINS
THEN YOU’D SEE THE OCEAN AHEAD
IT ALL LOOKS NATURAL AND BEAUTIFUL
THEN YOU’D SEE THE CITY
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT
THAT’S A GROWTH
THAT’S CANCER
IT’S BIG AND BROWN AND SMOKE’S COMING OUT OF IT
AND IT’S GETTING BIGGER EVERY YEAR
AND IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT YOU DO
IT JUST KEEPS GOING
YOU CAN KNOCK IT DOWN WITH A HURRICANE
IT REBUILDS
YOU CAN LIGHT IT ON FIRE
IT REBUILDS
IF YOU WERE LOOKING AT THE EARTH AS A LIVING ORGANISM
YOU WOULDN’T SEE INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE
YOU’D SEE A SCAR ON THE PLANET
I THINK IF YOU LOOK AT US OBJECTIVELY
AND THE WAY WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN
WE ARE ALWAYS GOING TO DESTROY THE EARTH
COS I THINK SOMEHOW THAT’S WHAT WE’RE SUPPOSED TO DO
I THINK WE’RE HEAR TO FUCK SHIT UP”
NOTHING FROM NO ONE
NOTHING FROM NO ONE
NOTHING FROM NO ONE
NOTHING FROM NO ONE
Nothing to prove, nothing to lose. Feel alive.
2. WAR CRIMES
SPEAK TO ME KID - TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE
THE REFLECTION OF THIS WORLD’S
PAIN & MISERY?
LOOK INTO THESE EYES - TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE
CAN YOU FEEL THE PAIN?
CAN YOU FEEL THE GRAVITY?
LOOK INTO YOURSELF - TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE
ARE YOU THE ANSWER?
ARE YOU THE PROBLEM?
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU IS FUCKING GUILTY
FOR CRIMES AGAINST THIS WORLD
CAN YOU TASTE IT? CAN YOU TASTE IT?
THE BLOOD IN YOUR FUCKING MOUTH
CAN YOU FEEL IT? CAN YOU FEEL IT?
THE WEIGHT OF A THOUSAND LIVES
WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME TO JUSTIFY?
I CAN SEE YOU’RE WEAK
YOU NEED TO LIE TO YOURSELF
THE TONGUE IN YOUR CHEEK
I'LL MAKE A MARTYR OF YOU
I SEE YOU’RE WEAK
CAN YOU TELL ME WHY THOUSANDS DIE?
I SEE YOU’RE WEAK
TO SATISFY AN UNWARRANTED WAY OF LIFE?
I SEE YOU’RE WEAK
CAN YOU TELL ME WHY?
CAN YOU TELL ME WHY?
SPEAK TO ME KID - TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE
CAN YOU TASTE IT?
CAN YOU TASTE IT?
THE BLOOD IN YOUR FUCKING MOUTH
CAN YOU FEEL IT?
CAN YOU FEEL IT?
THE WEIGHT OF A THOUSAND
LIVES
WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME TO JUSTIFY?
Can you see the injustice in the world? Children in poverty simply because of the place they were born. Feel the way society works - the balance of rich to poor - profit over people - is unfair? Want change? Be the fuse - rethink the way you live and don’t support unethical or unsustainable companies. It can be as simple as you make it - boycott - become conscious - choose which companies you spend your money with - be the difference you want to see in the world. You are the consumer - you have the power.
3. VIOLENCE
I WONDER HOW WE CAN NOT REACT
WITH VIOLENCE AND PURE HATE
WHEN THAT'S ALL WE'VE EVER BEEN SHOWN
WHEN IT'S ALL WE HAVE EVER KNOWN?
AND I WONDER IF ONE DAY
WHEN THE SHACKLES ARE BROKEN
IF THE MASTERS WILL SEE MERCY
WHEN MERCY IS UNKNOWN?
HOW?
WHEN NO MERCY HAS BEEN SHOWN
HOW DO I SEE?
WITH THIS BLACK CLOUD SURROUNDING ME
HOW CAN I FEEL?
LOVE WHEN IT'S DROWNED IN MISERY
TO AWAKE A MIND
THAT'S ONLY BEEN TAUGHT TO SLEEP?
GIVE ME RELIEF
AND I FUCKING HATE THIS NEGATIVE SHIT
POSSESSED AND CONSUMED
BY EVERY THOUGHT UNSAVOURY
SHOW ME CLARITY
AND I FUCKING HATE THIS NEGATIVE SHIT
AND I'M SICK OF STARING AT THE TONGUES IN YOUR FUCKING CHEEKS
AND I'M SICK OF EVERY DAY BEING SO GOD DAMNED FUCKING GREY
COME AT ME
COME AT ME
COME AT ME
I'LL AWAKEN A MIND THAT’S ONLY BEEN TAUGHT TO SLEEP
COME AT ME
COME AT ME
COME AT ME
I'LL OPEN A MIND BLINDED BY NEGATIVITY
SHOW ME RELEASE
TO AWAKE A MIND
THAT'S ONLY BEEN TAUGHT TO SLEEP?
GIVE ME RELIEF
AND I FUCKING HATE THIS NEGATIVE SHIT
POSSESSED AND CONSUMED
BY EVERY THOUGHT UNSAVOURY
SHOW ME CLARITY
AND I FUCKING HATE THIS NEGATIVE SHIT
HOW DO I SEE?
WITH THIS BLACK CLOUD SURROUNDING ME
HOW CAN I FEEL?
LOVE WHEN IT'S DROWNED IN MISERY
AND I WONDER IF ONE DAY
WHEN SHACKLES ARE BROKEN
IF THE MASTERS WILL SEE MERCY
WHEN MERCY IS UNKNOWN
This song is about how negativity breeds negativity. Wallowing in it only makes things worse, it’s not just deconstructive, it’s infectious, it poisons those that surround you. Don’t like something - then it can be simple - change it. How can you expect people to turn around and treat you with respect when you constantly disrespect them - how can you expect a hand reaching out when you constantly bite it. Be there for your friends when they’re down - don’t turn your back and judge. Everyone makes mistakes. Deal with it.
4. I'M JUST NOT THERE
I FEEL YOUR EYES ON ME
HEAR YOUR VOICES
SPEAKING MY NAME
DOUBT SINKS IN
THOSE DAGGERS DIG SO DEEP MAN
SO DEEP, I CAN'T EXPLAIN
WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT THICK SKIN?
THAT KEPT MY SANITY IN...
NOW I'M JUST WASTING AWAY
BRIGHT EYES FADING FAST
I AM ALWAYS AT MY ENDS
ALWAYS AT MY ENDS
SO WHEN DID I
MAKE THE TIME
TO DIG A DITCH SO BIG
THAT OCEANS SURROUND ME?
THAT'S HOW FAR I FEEL
FROM REALITY
YOU MIGHT LOOK AT ME AND THINK
HE'S JUST NOT THERE
HE'S JUST NOT THERE
HE'S JUST NOT THERE
HE'S JUST NOT THERE
HE'S JUST NOT THERE
I STARE AT MYSELF
STARING AT YOU
AND I JUST DON'T CARE
BECAUSE I'M NOT THERE…
NO...
I'M MILES AWAY
AN OCEAN AWAY
FOR ALL OF THOSE LOST INSIDE
YOU KNOW THE TRUE POWER OF YOUR MIND
THAT THE NIGHTMARE IS WHEN YOU'RE AWAKE
AND SLEEP IS THE ONLY ESCAPE
THE WORLD IS COLD
AND EVERY CROWDED STREET YOU ARE ALONE
BLINDED BY EYES AND JUDGING THOUGHTS
SILENCED BY OTHERS WORDS
THE WORLD IS COLD
AND EVERY CROWDED STREET YOU ARE ALONE
WHILE OTHERS FIGHT FOR ATTENTION
AND FIGHT FOR THE CENTRE STAGE
WE SLIP BACK
WE FADE AWAY
WHILE OTHERS FIGHT FOR ATTENTION
AND FIGHT FOR THE CENTRE STAGE
WE SLIP BACK
WE FADE AWAY
AND SO WE FIGHT
AND WE WIN
At your lowest it can be hard to find comfort even when you surround yourself with close friends. Your insecurity skews a distorted reality where everything anyone says could be hurtful and cut deep. You alienate yourself and disconnect. Anxiety makes it hard to leave a room and you feel alone in a crowded one. Take the time and quietly overcome, find someone you can trust and speak your mind, be active. When I feel paralysed like this I will listen to certain bands - feel empowered and press on, hopefully this song can do that for you....never give up and never feel like you have too...so we fight.
5. SHOW SOME HEART II
[feat. Ben Coyte]
I STAND HERE
NOT ONE BUT WITH THE STRENGTH OF A MILLION
HEAR THEIR VOICES ECHO EVERY WORD
WE NEED THE WORLD TO SEE THEMSELVES THROUGH OUR EYES
TO SEE THE POISON
TO SEE THROUGH THE LIES
I STAND HERE
NOT ONE BUT WITH THE STRENGTH OF A MILLION
HEAR THEIR VOICES ECHO EVERY WORD
WE NEED THE WORLD TO SEE THEMSELVES THROUGH OUR EYES
TO SEE THE POISON
TO SEE THROUGH THE LIES
AND I SAID IT BEFORE
AND I'LL SCREAM IT AGAIN
AND I SAID IT BEFORE
AND I'LL SCREAM IT AGAIN
AND I SAID IT BEFORE
AND I'LL SCREAM IT AGAIN
AND I SAID IT...
AND I SAID IT...
I'LL TAKE A STAND FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T
AND I'LL SCREAM FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T SPEAK
CAN YOU HEAR ME?
I'LL TAKE A STAND FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T
AND I'LL SCREAM FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T SPEAK
CAN YOU FEEL ME?
I STAND HERE
NOT ONE BUT WITH THE STRENGTH OF A MILLION
HEAR THEIR VOICES ECHO EVERY WORD
HEAR THEIR VOICES ECHO EVERY WORD
WE NEED THE WORLD TO SEE THEMSELVES THROUGH OUR EYES
TO SEE THE POISON
TO SEE THROUGH THE LIES
DO YOU FEEL THE GUILT?
DO YOU?
DO YOU FEEL THE GUILT?
DO YOU?
DO YOU FEEL THE GUILT?
SHOW SOME HEART
SHOW
SOME
HEART
SHOW SOME HEART
AND I SAID IT BEFORE
AND I'LL SCREAM IT AGAIN
AND I SAID IT BEFORE
AND I'LL SCREAM IT AGAIN
AND I SAID IT BEFORE
AND I'LL SCREAM IT AGAIN
I'LL TAKE A STAND FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T
AND I'LL SCREAM FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T SPEAK
This song isn’t about being vegan or vegetarian but about being a conscious consumer - think about what you consume and buy in all aspects of your life. Every action has a consequence and your food/clothes have a long history before they reach you - I could care less about what you eat or what you do - but be informed - don’t be a mindless robot.
6. LOVESICK
IT'S FUNNY TO THINK
I PENNED SUCH SWEET WORDS FOR YOU
THAT I SHED TEARS
AND FELT REAL PAIN FOR YOU
IT'S FUNNY TO THINK
THAT I FELT ANYTHING AT ALL
NOW I ONLY SEE A RUSTED ANCHOR
YOU'VE GOT NO SOUL
AND I NEED TO TELL YOU THAT
I WASTED SOME GOOD YEARS
UNDER YOUR SPELL
AND I NEED TO TELL YOU THAT
IT WAS LIVING HELL
AND I'D BE LYING IF I SAID
I COULD EVER MISS YOU
I SWORE THAT NIGHT YOU'D ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART
NOTHING COULD EVER TEAR US APART
NOTHING…
AND I SAVED YOU ONCE
AND I SAVED YOU TWICE
STITCHED SLICED WRISTS
PICKED YOU UP OFF THE FLOOR
SMASHED THAT BOTTLE THAT I TOLD YOU TO IGNORE
I TOLD YOU TO IGNORE
BROKEN EVERY VOW THAT YOU SAID TO ME
LOVESICK
BROKEN EVERY VOW THAT YOU SAID TO ME
LOVESICK
AND NOW YOU WONDER WHY
I CAN'T LOOK YOU IN THE EYE?
BECAUSE I KNOW
WHAT I DON'T WANNA KNOW..
AND I DON'T WANNA KNOW
AND I DON'T WANNA KNOW
HOW MANY BEDS YOU'VE WARMED
HOW MUCH FLESH YOU'VE TURNED
AND I DON'T WANNA KNOW
AND I DON'T WANNA KNOW
HOW MANY SHEETS YOU'VE CRAWLED
HOW MANY LIVES YOU'VE SOILED
AND I DON'T WANNA KNOW
AND I DON'T WANNA KNOW
AND IT'S FUNNY TO THINK
I SHARED ANYTHING WITH YOU
AND I REGRET EVERY SINGLE SECOND I WASTED ON YOU
AND I WISH FOR NOTHING
BUT DESERT AND WALLS BETWEEN US
IT'S NOT THAT I HATE YOU
I'VE JUST LOST ALL RESPECT
LOVESICK
AND NOW YOU WONDER WHY
I CAN'T LOOK YOU IN THE EYE?
AND NOW YOU WONDER WHY
I CAN'T LOOK YOU IN THE EYE?
LOVESICK
First ‘love’ song I have ever written. This is some personal therapy for me. Shout outs to being naive.
7. NOTHING FROM NO ONE
I SEE YOUR MIND IS SICK
AND YOUR BODY IS SLOW
FRIEND TELL ME NOW
WHERE DO WE GO?
I JUST DON'T KNOW
I JUST DON'T KNOW
AM I THE ONLY ONE
WHO DOESN'T SHARE THE DISEASE?
AM I THE ONLY MAN
WHO HASN'T DROWNED IN APATHY?
AND I FEEL FUCKED UP
FEEL LIKE EVERYONE'S SHOUTING
NO HOME FOR THE HOMESICK MAN
I'VE GOT NOWHERE TO GO
I'M TRAPPED BY THESE FUCKING WALLS
IF I DIDN'T BURN THESE BRIDGES
I'D CROSS THEM ALL
AND THIS WILL MEAN NOTHING TO ANY OF YOU
AND I DON'T GIVE A FUCK
I JUST WANT TO SEE IT ALL BURN
"WE ARE THE LOST CHILDREN OF A LOST GENERATION"
BECAUSE IT SOUNDS SO FUCKING COOL
TO SAY THAT "WE ARE NOTHING FROM NO ONE"
THE APATHETIC WASTES
WHO CARE MORE FOR LABELS THAN FACES
FUCKING DISGRACES
SO WHERE DO YOU TURN
WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE GETTING LOW?
I SING THIS FROM THE HEART
AND YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW
AND I DON'T WANT YOU TOO
BECAUSE I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ANYMORE
I JUST WANT TO WATCH IT BURN
LET'S SEE THE WORLD BURN
LET'S SEE THE WORLD BURN
LET'S SEE THE WORLD BURN
I’ve been chasing this whole ‘change the world’ dream for a long time now. Slowly but surely I’ve seen my peers fade and drop away. Spent hours, days, weeks and months of my life following my beliefs and passion. Worked so hard only to have people throw stones and try to make it seem insignificant. After a while you feel like you’re burnt out...you want to quit…“What’s the fucking point?” You criticise the very movement that has kept you sane your whole life. I wrote this song when I wanted to walk away...but how can I when this is what pumps my blood and picks me up. I don’t give a fuck if some shitty fad dies tomorrow, this will forever be real to me and will be to you too. We live in a world with a million things screaming at us every day, telling us we are not good enough, bound to a mould that we must fit into, a set of traits we must adhere to - to the point where if you step out of line your peers will judge and look down upon you enforcing some twisted totalitarian style reign over us. This is my salvation - at times it can be a parody of itself, some people make it seem fake - but this is so real and true to me - 26 years old as I write these words - I still feel the same fire as when I listened to NOFX when I was 13. This song, entire album and band’s existence goes out to those who keep this alive in their actions and hearts.
8. PAUL ALLEN
I FEEL NOTHING FROM NO ONE
SHARE NO EMPATHY
BUT I GOT SOME PROBLEMS
EATING AWAY AT MY SANITY
I FEEL NOTHING FROM NO ONE
SHARE NO EMPATHY
BUT I GOT SOME PROBLEMS
EATING AWAY AT MY SANITY
JUST ANOTHER LOST SOUL
SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL
DON'T TELL ME
WHAT I ALREADY KNOW
AN ENDLESS CYCLE
A DOWNWARD SPIRAL
AN ENDLESS CYCLE
A DOWNWARD SPIRAL
DON'T STOP TO THINK
WE'RE OUT OF CONTROL
YOU FEEL HOLLOW
A HUNGER THAT JUST WON'T SEE AN END
NO AMOUNT OF WATER WILL QUENCH
YOU FEEL HOLLOW
A HUNTER THAT JUST WON'T SEE AN END
NO AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT YOU CAN SPEND
THE FAILINGS OF OUR SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT
BECOMING ALL TOO APPARENT
THESE FOUNDATIONS THAT HOUSE OUR SANITY
WILL SHAKE AND…
SPLIT! SPLIT! SPLIT! SPLIT!
AND I THINK MY MASK IS ABOUT TO…
SLIP! SLIP! SLIP! SLIP!
DON'T TELL ME…
I'M JUST ANOTHER LOST SOUL
SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL
DON'T TELL ME
WHAT I ALREADY KNOW
AN ENDLESS CYCLE
A DOWNWARD SPIRAL
AN ENDLESS CYCLE
A DOWNWARD SPIRAL
CAN'T TELL YOU HOW
TO UNTANGLE A WEB
SPUN SO WELL
SPUN SO WELL
CAN'T TELL YOU HOW
“Are you searching for something? Never feeling quite complete...no one knows what they want, who they are or where they are going. Because there is no answer, we’re already dead.”
9. GOLD
[feat. Oscar McCall]
NO REAL LOVE TO BE FELT
NO TRUE ROMANCE CAN BE HELD
WHEN A LIFE IS MEASURED IN THE
ACCUMULATION OF WEALTH
I HAVE LEARNT
A COLD HEART CANNOT EMIT WARMTH
AND A POISONED MIND
CANNOT BE CURED
WHAT GLORY WILL YOU HOLD?
WHEN THESE LIES ARE EXPOSED?
NOTHING GOLD WILL STAY
WE MUST FIND A BETTER WAY
SO WHY WON'T YOU LEARN YOUR LESSONS
AND TEACH THEM TO YOUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS?
SO THIS SOCIETAL CANCER
THESE POISONED MINDS DON'T MOVE FURTHER
WHY IS IT UNREASONABLE TO SUGGEST
AN ALTERNATIVE SUSTAINABLE FUTURE?
WHERE THE LIVES WE LIVE ARE STRONGER
WHERE THE LIVES WE LIVE ARE STRONGER
WHAT GLORY WILL YOU HOLD?
WHEN THESE LIES ARE EXPOSED?
NOTHING GOLD WILL STAY
WE MUST FIND A BETTER WAY
BECAUSE THE VULTURES STILL LIVE
BECAUSE THE IGNORANT STILL TEACH
BECAUSE THE BLIND MAN
STILL CLAIMS HE SEES
BECAUSE THE VULTURES STILL LIVE
BECAUSE THE IGNORANT STILL TEACH
BECAUSE THE BLIND MAN
STILL CLAIMS HE SEES
NOTHING GOLD WILL STAY
WE FIND A BETTER WAY
NOTHING GOLD WILL STAY
WE FIND A BETTER WAY
Materialism and consumerism - our society is based on money, status and possessions. Why it isn’t focussed on people/happiness I don’t know. We breed ignorance and those who speak up are spat on by their ignorant or apathetic peers. Beauty fades, money comes and goes, status is contextual - what is real to you?
10. STICKS & STONES
THIS IS WHERE MY MIND ESCAPES
TO YOU I CAN'T RELATE
THIS IS WHERE MY MIND ESCAPES
TO YOU I CAN'T RELATE
I CAN'T RELATE
BLIND EYES BURNT BLACK
TASTE TORN AWAY
A BITTER TASTE
OH HOW I PRAY
TO MASK THAT STENCH YOU CREATE
THAT BLACK HOLE
THE WEIGHT OF ITS GRAVITY
THIS IS WHERE MY MIND ESCAPES
TO YOU I CAN'T RELATE
THE SLOW BURN
THE PULL OF NEGATIVITY
I STARE THROUGH YOU
SO PAPER THIN
WITH YOUR PAPER SKIN
WHISPERED WORDS ONLY FALL ON DEAF EARS
STICKS AND STONES
I'M AT PEACE WITH ALL MY FEARS
THIS IS WHERE MY MIND ESCAPES
TO YOU I CAN'T RELATE
BLIND EYES BURNT BLACK
TASTE TORN AWAY
OLD FRIEND
HOW DID
WE GET TO THIS DAY?
HATER TELL ME
WHAT THE FUCK
DO YOU HAVE LEFT?
SKIN AND BONES
WHERE IS ALL YOUR FLESH?
WHERE IS ALL YOUR FLESH?
WHERE IS ALL YOUR FLESH?
TRUST ME AS I SWEAR
BLACK AND BLUE
THAT THIS SONG IS ABOUT YOU
WHERE IS ALL YOUR FLESH?
This song is about a few people who have come and gone from my life. Similar personality traits - harbingers of drama and deceit - caring about all the wrong things. Live your own lives but when you’re literally going out of your way to try to hurt and mislead others to feel better about yourself....you deserve all the karma and pain coming your way.
11. EPSOM
I LIVE A LIFE OF SPITE
WE ARE ALL FUCKING DISEASED
A CANCER
ROTTING IN THESE CONCRETE TOMBS
WE BUILT THE CAGES
WE JOINED THE CHAINS
NOW WE LIE MOTIONLESS
THESE CITIES - OUR GRAVES
LIKE THE CROSSES CEMENTED TO THE HILLSIDE
STILL DATED BUT HERE AFTER ALL THIS TIME
A REMINDER OF THE DISEASE
THAT STILL FLOWS LIKE BLOOD
THROUGH THESE STREETS
PLEASE BELIEVE YOU'RE A PART OF THIS
WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
I DON'T BLAME THE SYMPTOMS
I BLAME THE CAUSE
AND IT'S IN OUR FOUNDATIONS
IT LINES THESE HALLS
I DON'T BLAME THE SYMPTOMS
I BLAME THE DISEASE
IT'S BLINDING
IT'S DEAFENING
APATHY
MURDERER
HOW CAN YOU SLEEP?
PARASITE
DANCING ON OUR ASPHALT GRAVES
BLIND EYES TURNED BLACK
TASTE BURNT AWAY
NO SOUR TASTE IN
THESE CITIES - OUR GRAVES
LIKE THE CROSSES CEMENTED TO THE HILLSIDE
STILL DATED BUT HERE AFTER ALL THIS TIME
A REMINDER OF THE DISEASE
THAT STILL FLOWS LIKE BLOOD
THROUGH THESE STREETS
PLEASE BELIEVE YOU'RE A PART OF THIS
WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
I DON'T BLAME THE SYMPTOMS
I BLAME THE CAUSE
AND IT'S IN OUR FOUNDATIONS
IT LINES THESE HALLS
I DON'T BLAME THE SYMPTOMS
I BLAME THE DISEASE
IT'S BLINDING
IT'S DEAFENING
APATHY
I'M NOT LOOKING FOR A SCAPEGOAT
I'M AS GUILTY AS ANYONE ELSE
BUT AT LEAST I'M FUCKING TRYING
"AT LEAST I'M FUCKING TRYING!"
I MADE MY CHOICES
AND I STILL BELIEVE
IN A LIFE LIVED STANDING…
I LIVE A LIFE OF SPITE
SO LET IT RAIN ON ME
SO LET IT RAIN ON ME
SO LET IT RAIN ON ME
We are all a part of the system that oppresses us - that creates and upholds the injustice and imbalance of the world - we actively participate, fund and support it. Every day we consume without thought and bite our tongues, we move as cogs in the machine. Every action has its consequence. By simply making an informed choice on which companies you spend your money on you can make a wealth of difference in the world...and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
12. THIS CONFESSION HAS MEANT..
