1.	Seven Is My Name (free) 01:43	lyrics	download
Take your word, but what is it worth? Owe me one? What is it worth? Handed things you didn't deserve Right time, right place, what have you earned? From the front to the back Now a matter of fact It might be small / I'll take a shot for us all Your last close call / Fall Running out of time / Neck is on the line Spent someone else's dime / Out of time
2.	Turn It Off (free) 01:31	lyrics	download
Come in close, but that's close enough Show me the light and turn it off I act in ways that you don't want to see But if you can cut me off, then you can watch me bleed Cheers to you! As my long nights came Tell me you're different, but treat me the same Cut it close, but you've seen enough You'll get what you want, and I'll be tough Aren't you sad? But still do as you please Leave me dry as a stone for the next one to squeeze Cheers to you! For me no one came Tell me you're different, to treat me the same But I can't say you're to blame Many have done the same
3.	Revision (free) 00:59	lyrics	download
No One Rules, but there weren't enough rules for you I guess you never heard you Can't Tell No One what to do Who's to blame? There's enough to go around I'll sink to the bottom just to push you further down My new religion is instinct / We'll be the dead's afterlife Bring me to the gates of heaven / I'll be judged at the end of a knife Champion of evolution, blasphemer of genes Selection doesn't work if it hasn't got the means Life has gotten harder, this is just a taste Survival of the fittest come to wash away the waste New morality: No one has a voice New equality: No one has a choice No affinity to follow what you say New divinity: And I won't speak your name
4.	Overcompensate; Underestimate (free) 01:37	lyrics	download
Now the time is up, you don't know when to stop Know my temper's hot, and I live to take my shots You've never played rough, and soon you'll have enough Why would I be discrete? In the belly of the beast? You may act like / You've earned your right / But not in my sight Tempers wear down / Hearing the sound / Put two feet on the ground We've put in our time and suffered to be strong From your safe world, you think you'll prove me wrong? You may act like / You've earned your pride / By not in my sight
5.	Life's a Beach, So Keep Your Head In the Sand (free) 03:00	lyrics	download
Lend your life to cause, one that will suffice Hold your head up high, you don't have a price Pledge your heart to love, pledge your mind to truth You stand with open arms, you're fit to be abused We owe a set amount Collection's coming around Borrowed time running out Look at what's going down Go on, choose a future when you haven't seen the past It's not hard to change a world that wasn't meant to last Set your feet on land as the sea is rising up Stand and take a breath, it won't be enough
6.	Spare Me (free) 01:36	lyrics	download
Reason rots, forced out from your thoughts Have you just forgot? Or were you never taught? Eyes close when you speak Look your so proud to be spreading your newest disease Words are your cough / Infect as you talk Values you bend / Stigma you send / Make it all end Shut out everything forced down on me How blessed that you must be? To see all that I cannot see Spare me the lines I can make my own mind But I don't have the time To hear another word of your shit
7.	Horses (free) 01:25	lyrics	download
The one thing you thought that you'd never know The dull pain, hearing “I told you so” What in your life could prepare you for this? Optimist / Exceptionalist / Apologist Followed the blind as the sky grew darker Night finally came, now we're prey to be slaughtered Blame who you may, all pay the price The new Word of Life's foreclosing model homes No meaning, no relief, just hardship alone Futures fade, old ways come back to be Eyes shut, mind closed, never could see High time to watch you all fall down High time to watch it all fall down

about

DEMANDS D.C.

"It might be hard to distinguish between music that is angry and music that is determined, but DEMANDS quantifies the latter for me. Vocals are pushed to their absolute limit, and the music sounds like a burly modern re-interpretation of a '00s fastcore interpretation of DC hardcore...you know, bringing the sound back home but making it sound new all over again." - Terminal Escape ... more
