When misery visits me
Hitting me physically
I roll with the punch
That's the strength that its given me
Neurodiversity, victim of industry
Bosses kept kicking me, fire me, P45ing me, dissing me
Quit NHS and I went university
Now I'm a Master that's not no hyperbole
Got me an MA not Young when I did it
They'll 'Go To Sleep', CM Punk with your lyrics
I'll never stop, Terry Funk when I spit it,
and I can't run out of bars, 'Munk when I Chip it
Inspired to write what the hurt n pain give it
Nevermind Lithium, Kurt Cobain with it


We rise up like phoenix do
We fly high, Rey Fenix moves
Sometimes dark but seen it thru
Sunrise on that scenic view


Turns out it's what my creativity seeks
I wrote this whole album in three fucking weeks
Those brief times of happiness giving me writers block
Still haven't uninstalled twitter, I type a lot
Projecting that doom to your cortex, not using no forceps
That withdrawal of sertraline, boom goes the forehead
And soon saw the scenes from the news on your doorstep
That noose around your neck is loose if you forget
...So get off the chair and get in the streets
...The whole proletariat's on our knees
...We're learning to square with all our defeats
Yearning to share and get on our feet
Burning the square and scaring police


We rise up like phoenix do
We fly high, Rey Fenix moves
Sometimes dark but seen it thru
Sunrise on that scenic view


Time's what I needed to rise like the phoenix
If time's not on my side then am I defeated
Not got the time for this slimy, conceited n
Slightly elitist scum slyface that greeted em
...deep-seated abuse from em
Put it to sleep like anaesthetists do to em
Fairweather friends seems I keep on eluding em
They're never there when I'm needing a few of em
This path I'm on isn't including em
This vagabond isn't of use to em
In Pavlov's House there's only two of em
We call it Al-Quds not Jerusalem
That's how the future come, free of oppression, depression, succession of right-wing aggression
The revolution obsession no question won't lessen progression with bourgeois concession
(the lesson)



We rise up like phoenix do
We fly high, Rey Fenix moves
Sometimes dark but seen it thru
Sunrise on that scenic view
