Deceive and Defy

[Verse 1: J Hurley]
Music resonates, my eyes dilate
And it triggers off parts of my brain
I get a feeling that I can't explain
The pen is a receiver, my heart spills on a page
From a very young age
Didn't really care about wage
We make the hairs at the back of your neck stand up
With CD or with passion on stage
We are the new sound wave
Maintain balance in the music game
These wise words I'ma take to my grave
I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for just
Naturally jamming with mates
Now everybody wanna go on X Factor
'Cause they wanna be famous
But the H is infamous
And we don't wanna be famous
We wanna make changes

[Chorus: Ben Marvin]
This life, one shot, one dream
This life, one way to succeed
This life, one shot, one dream
They deceive and defy on big screens

[Verse 2: J Hurley]
Subliminal thoughts as I spit syllables on a chord
At my own accord, the chemicals in my brain explore
Another rhythm pattern and I start goin' on raw
And they ain't never seen talent in Britain like this before
A sixteen on a riff is a rift we cause
These finalists don't get no applause
They just wanna go Number One
Another year yet another cunt
And now we're here for the long drive
We tell the judge we don't give a fuck
We got fire in our blood
Too many young minds corrupt
Dragged down thinking they're on their way up
This game is tough
Gotta stay strong to survive on the throne

[Chorus: Jamie Graham & Ben Marvin]
This life, one shot, one dream
This life, one way to succeed
This life, one shot, one dream
They deceive and defy on big screens
This life, one shot, one dream (One dream)
This life, one way to succeed (One way)
This life, one shot, one dream (One dream)
They deceive and defy on big screens

[Bridge: Ben Marvin]
Where will you go?
Spotlights don't shine on graves just so you know
Leave a legacy, spirit lives on
Leave this with me, I will prove you all wrong
Where will you go?
Where will you go?

[Chorus: Jamie Graham & Ben Marvin]
This life, one shot, one dream
This life, one way to succeed
This life, one shot, one dream
They deceive and defy on big screens
This life, one shot, one dream (One dream)
This life, one way to succeed (One way)
This life, one shot, one dream
They deceive and defy on big screens
Fuck
