about

The title track off of the 4-song EP, ‘Status Quo’ was written as a call to exemplify positive mental health & accountability through allyship. Composed with a plethora of different tempos, gang vocals & sporadic transitions, ‘Status Quo’ speaks to society’s faults, with hope to influence change.

lyrics

I’m stood here in a contradiction
As we push things out the door
Stumbling through with good intentions
While we show what we stand for

We were never really made for this
So fight on through

Join hands, stand together
Protect the people you know and love
Walk on and fight those demons
Because you’re not one to give up
We are all strong enough to spark a bit of change
A fuck you to the ignorant and those who are to blame

Alright! We’re taking back control
Of Life! Supporting friends we love

You can change the status quo
And write the fucking rest

How many nightmares will you face tonight?
How many days have you faced this fight
Down a darkened road you couldn’t miss
You’ll be a bright spot
A fucking gentleman

And when I’m dead I hope that people live in a society
Where things have changed and we’re all one
And I’ll spend my every breath to stand in solidarity
Against the racists, the rapists and those
Who should rot and waste away
So join me in sharing morals and aiming to be better men
So be an ally and show that you can
Before your dead please own up and take on responsibility
To listen, reason and grow up and show

Alright! We’re taking back control
Of Life!
