Burn It Down
Rewind The Time album out 30/10/2026 - Pre-save here https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/cosmicdawg/rewind-the-time?ref=release ***Lyrics*** - They built a cage and they called it home Painted gold over old broken stone Every rule is a tightened screw Keeping us stuck with the same old view I see the cracks in the ceiling plaster We're ticking down to a new disaster Don't look for cover, don't look for shade I'm pulling the pin on the hand grenade - I've got the gasoline You've got the spark Let's light a candle in the middle of the dark Watch it glow - Burn it down, to the cold hard ground Let the fire scream, let the siren sound We don't need the roof, we don't need the floor We don't need the key to the heavy old door Let the ashes fall like the black snow There's only one way that we can go Burn it down, yeah, burn it all down - I'm sick of the silence, sick of the wait Sick of the lock on the iron gate History is heavy, it drags you down Like a rusted anchor in a coastal town So cut the rope and sever the chain I'm cleansing the rust with a hurricane Strike the match and walk away We're starting over from scratch today - I've got the gasoline You've got the spark Let's light a candle in the middle of the dark Here we go - Burn it down, to the cold hard ground Let the fire scream, let the siren sound We don't need the roof, we don't need the floor We don't need the key to the heavy old door Let the ashes fall like the black snow There's only one way that we can go Burn it down, yeah, burn it all down - Fire cleanses, fire frees Bring this castle, to its knees Fire cleanses, fire frees Bring this castle to its knees - Burn it down, to the cold hard ground Let the fire scream, let the siren sound We don't need the roof, we don't need the floor We don't need the key to the heavy old door Let the ashes fall like the black snow There's only one way that we can go Burn it down, yeah, burn it all down - Burn it down, to the cold hard ground Let the fire scream, let the siren sound We don't need the roof, we don't need the floor We don't need the key to the heavy old door Let the ashes fall like the black snow There's only one way that we can go Burn it down, yeah, burn it all downmore

Bleed Me Dry
Bleed me dry is about governments taking more than ever and giving back nothing. - Pre-save the new album here https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/cosmicdawg/rewind-the-time?ref=release - ***Lyrics*** - I hammer the steel and I sweat in the heat, I’m carving a path through the frost on the street. And every time I build a fire to beat the cold, An invisible hand comes to grab for the coals. I’m walking a wire that’s frayed at the end, While you’re leaning in heavy on a broken pretence. I plant the orchard and I water the roots, But you’re the one sitting there stealing the fruits! - You’re the shadow in the corner You’re the creak in the floor You’re the uninvited guest With a key to my door! - So open the vein, yeah, take what you see, Leave the ghost of the man that I used to be. You’ve got a hunger that never gets full, You’re sharpening blades and you're coming for us all. You’re counting the heartbeats I have left to spend, You’re breaking the back that you promised to defend. Go on and take it, don’t leave me a lie, Just put me on the table and bleed me dry! Yeah, bleed me dry! Yeah, you bleed me dry! - I’m paying a toll just to stand on the ground, I’m paying for air when there’s none to be found. You’re building a tower that reaches the sun, On the backs of the many for the sake of the one. I’m just a gear in your corrupted machine, That grinds up the weak to keep your hands clean. You don't need a face and you don't need a name, To keep the world fighting for your material gain! - You’re the leak in the bucket You’re the rust on the chain You’re the one getting dry While I’m out in the rain! - So open the vein, yeah, take what you see, Leave the ghost of the man that I used to be. You’ve got a hunger that never gets full, You’re sharpening blades and you're coming for us all. You’re counting the heartbeats I have left to spend, You’re breaking the back that you promised to defend. Go on and take it, don’t leave me a lie, Just put me on the table and bleed me dry! Yeah, bleed me dry! Yeah, you bleed me dry! - The well is low! And the fire’s gone! But still you’re there At the break of dawn! You take the blood! And you take the light! Take the rest of the day And the rest of the night! ARE YOU SATISFIED?! - So open the vein, yeah, take what you see, Leave the ghost of the man that I used to be. You’ve got a hunger that never gets full, You’re sharpening blades and you're coming for us all. You’re counting the heartbeats I have left to spend, You’re breaking the back that you promised to defend. Go on and take it, don’t leave me a lie, Just put me on the table and bleed me dry! - So open the vein, yeah, take what you see, Leave the ghost of the man that I used to be.

Sucks To Be You
Pre-save the new album here https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/cosmicdawg/rewind-the-time?ref=release - ***Lyrics*** - You talked big, had the world in your hands, But your ego’s a house built on quicksand. Now the tide’s rolling in, and your castle’s askew, Guess the joke’s on you, what else is new? - You lit the match, watched the bridges all burn, Now you’re stuck in the ashes, no lessons you learned. You played the game, but you cheated the rules, Now the crowd’s chanting, “You’re nobody’s fool.” - Sucks to be you, karma’s a knife, Twisting slowly while I’m living my life. You held a crown, but it slipped right through, Now the world’s singing, sucks to be you. (Oh-oh-oh-oh) Sucks to be you. (Oh-oh-oh-oh) Sucks to be you. - You ghosted your friends for a shot at the throne, Now your DMs are dry, and you’re eating alone. Your spotlight’s a flicker, mine’s blazing through, Funny how tables turn, ain’t it true? - You lit the match, watched the bridges all burn, Now you’re stuck in the ashes, no lessons you learned. You played the game, but you cheated the rules, Now the crowd’s chanting, “You’re nobody’s fool.” - Sucks to be you, karma’s a knife, Twisting slowly while I’m living my life. You held a crown, but it slipped right through, Now the world’s singing, sucks to be you. (Oh-oh-oh-oh) Sucks to be you. (Oh-oh-oh-oh) Sucks to be you. - Remember my name when the nights get cold, Your regrets are heavy, but my story’s gold. The throne is empty "wave goodbye." Watch me soar while you’re learning to fly... - Sucks to be you, karma’s a knife, Twisting slowly while I’m living my life. You held a crown, but it slipped right through, Now the world’s singing, sucks to be you. (Oh-oh-oh-oh!) Sucks to be you. (Oh-oh-oh-oh!) Sucks to be you. (Oh-oh-oh-oh!) Sucks to be you. (Oh-oh-oh-oh!) Sucks to be you.more
