lyrics

(Shaumbra: The name used for a group of humans going through the awakening process).

1.
You want to feel but you’ve been taught.
You wanted freedom but you’ve been bought.
You’re now suddenly realising you’ve been living a lie.
Now let that galvanize and spark a wicked glint in your eye.
Cause you should be fucking incensed;
You’ve been a cog in a wheel;
You’ve been a part of the deal;
You’ve felt what you’ve been expected to feel.
“Buy this, get bigger, go better, just do it (and buy it; it’ll make everything better)”.
It won’t make anything better, you’re just a number, a letter.
Just a barcode; a spirit imprisoned by a creditor.
What did you really get?
A shackle wrapped ‘round your neck.
A tethering to the deck.
A balance too low to check.
You’re bejewelled, and in a way you’ve let yourself become ruled.
And the truth? You’ve been completely incepted and then fooled.
You don’t want half of the shit that they’re telling you that you need.
Let ‘em feed.
In the moment you disengage, you’ll find that you’re freed;
From the fear, the obligation, the need.
And the guilt; they’re the weapons they us to make you concede.
You won’t be part of their breed; another pestilent seed;
They’re growing profits from greed, writing misery up in warranties.

HOOK:
Shaumbra; you are the one, yeah.
Though they come at you with a label.
They just can’t ever stick it on ya.
No they will never stick it to ya.
While you reveal to them the truth, yeah.
You are beyond them.
You are the Shaumbra.

2.
Now what comes next is so much greater than what came before.
You’ll wanna scream it from towers but here’s what I implore.
Just keep it under a lid until you figure the score.
It’s not as cut and as dried as it should be; no, it’s a hidden war.
You’ll find the things that you loved just don’t make sense no more.
And all the things you found useless you’ll suddenly adore.
All those disasters and tragedies you ignored before.
Just all the pain you observe, you’ll suddenly abhor.
And you’ll observe it wherever you go.
You’ll wanna fix it and heal it but they can never know.
That though intentions are pure, you’ll strike a fucking blow.
Cause how can none of them see, you fucking reap what you sow?
It’s just maths.
See, every action has an equal and opposite.
Give out venom; it comes back with a vengeance to pile on top of it.
That remark that you make; just be sure to commit.
Cause whatever the charge; what’s coming back will befit.
Act with Love despite the charge of the opposite.
Give out peaceful intent; you’ll be gifted with it.
Give out a compliment; God is complicit.
So give a hug just cause they looked like they needed it.
So give a fuck because they look like they’re worth a shit.
Cause they’re brothers and sisters, and their worth is set.
Not at 20, or 150 but a hundred percent.
If you feel otherwise, you’re lying to yourself.

HOOK:
Shaumbra; we are the ones, yeah.
Though they come at you with a label.
They just can’t ever stick it on ya.
No they will never stick it to ya.
While we reveal to them the truth yeah.
We are among them.
We are the Shaumbra.
