‘I Am Not You’ Lyrics
Don’t think that we are the same
That I am striving like you and fighting like you
Don’t dare to speak in my name
I’m not associated with the words you stated
I’ll never support your crusade
I’m tired of justifying by spiritualizing
Rhetorics are beautifully shaped
Yet I have recognized your perverted mindset
you claim we’re family
cause we share the same father
Convinced of unity
ignoring different mothers
We’re no family
We have a different mother
No unity
You put your arm around me
Smiling at the crowd
Just assuming I’m approving
Of the law you preach, the hate you shout
You’re hiding your true colors
With a paint that looks like mine
But if it were the same
You wouldn’t feel like shit inside
One chance is all I need
To show the truth of how you mislead
One word is all it takes
for your smile to break and your knuckles to shake
Are you so naive
assuming we have the same beliefs
Or are you scared like hell
That I’ll open my mouth to break the spell
Feel the fire stuck inside my throat
Burn your hideous castle to the ground
You will learn the truth
That you are such an insecure child
You long for recognition
All that you want is just to feel loved
A twisted man with convictions that kill
Your peers keep bringing you praise
For mixing a message of law and grace
Your words are so hollow
Don’t expect me to follow
What is a conversation with a fanatic
If he takes all the space or waits for his turn to speak
You don’t see what I see
You don’t hear what I hear
You don’t know what I know
You don’t want what I want
You don’t see what I see
You don’t hear what I hear
You don’t know what I know
You don’t want what I want
One chance is all I need
To show the truth of how you mislead
One word is all it takes
for your smile to break and your knuckles to shake
Are you so naive
assuming I have the same beliefs
Or are you scared like hell
That I’ll open my mouth to break the spell
Don’t think that we are the same
That I am striving like you and fighting like you
Don’t dare to speak in my name
I’m not associated with the words you stated
I’ll never support your crusade
I’m tired of justifying by spiritualizing
Rhetorics are beautifully shaped
Yet I have recognized your perverted mindset
Lyric video for I Am Not You
Last year november they came out with the following update:
Time to provide you with an update on what we’ve been up to.
Since the covid pandemic, since we could not do any shows, we silently started to write and record a new full length album. We wanted to put it out last year, but the process was not without hiccups. The national restrictions due to covid made it hard for us to get together in a practice room to write in the first place. Then, at some point in the middle of the recording period, we were just unsatisfied with the mixes and we had to switch producers. But this meant that we also had to start the whole recording process over again, which was frustrating. Furthermore, Sjoerd and Levi got their first child, and Burns first child can be born any day now. So they were and are also out of the band business for a while.
But as of now, the final guitars are being recorded and we even got the master back from the first single we will put out, so yes, we are absolutely most definately in the final stage of finishing recording the album. We are collaborating with producers Roelof Klop (Mountain Eye, Xeno, Onkt) and Jordan Valeriote (Emery, Forevermore, Silverstein) for the final product. In january, we will shoot a music video for the first single, with more to come. So yes, 2023 is going to be the year! More detailed information coming very soon!
