Big Deal
02:38
|
|||
|
Buy in, sell out - cash your fucking chips // You’d sell your mother but the market took a dip
Blacklist - everyone you’ll ever know // coz their take home’s 50 thousand or below
I’m out of credit, you’re out of line // You’ll never realise your truth is asinine
White whales - over the horizon // But real life is what you need to keep your eyes on
We lost a friend about it - Cut the cheque by the neck
You lost your life to find it - Fiscal tech discotech, cut the cheque
(Big Deal)
Penthouse workout - a prisoner to greed // you made a stranger out of everyone you need
Trust fund - aspiring to be hateful // the people under you will never be grateful - oh
...Pay a heavenly choir to sing your praises
Sell values at sale values, don’t keep a receipt
Buy into this lifestyle, just don’t call it deceit
Sell values at sale values, sell values at sale values
Sell values at sale values, don’t keep a receipt
We lost a friend about it - Nouveau rich, basic bitch
You lost your life to find it - Cut the cheque by the neck
Too bad you sold too hard and lost your heart for - Fiscal tech discotech, cut the cheque
(congratulations on being a Big Fucking Deal)
Cut it, cut it, cut it by the neck

Wait Your Turn

Tell me it’s all for nothing, just a waste of time
I can’t be left in change of a world that was left behind
Give me the cup that’s empty, I’ll fill it with hate
Don’t wait on me to do the right thing, coz I never will
Show them everything, just to see if they take it all in
Nothing in return, they just stare at the void
Wake them from a dream just to see how they fall apart
Something isn’t right, they just want to be… crucified again
Please go to be back of the line
Take your turn, watch them burn, save yourself, no-one else
No medicine, no medicine can stop the infection, just sit in your section, just wait your turn to live
Make this a simple lesson, coz I’m fresh out of fucks to give them
Died out, nice and quiet, left us with nothing left
Show them everything, just to see if they take it all in
Nothing in return, they just stare at the void
Wake them from a dream just to see how they fall apart
Something isn’t right, they just want to be… undermined again
Please exit the church as it burns
Take your turn, watch them burn, save yourself, no-one else
No medicine, no medicine can stop the infection, just sit in your section, just wait your turn to
Die out, nice and quiet, leave us bones to build with…
This was all for nothing, we wasted everything.

Mulholland Dr.

There’s got to be somewhere that we can be seen
There’s got to be someone else that we can waterboard
Without a new paddle without your applause
We ask to to bare your naked ass for an unrequited requisition
Napoleon has gotten his way
Every time the pigs have kept you at bay
(Pay attention) Everyone else is
(Pay the fare) More equal than you
Searching for a key that makes sense of your life
Makes as much good sense as a small blue box
Oh my god your knowing naivety numbs me to your god
Now you’re too willing to fall
They say there’s there’s truth in denial
Just because it’s true, don’t make it a lie
Who says there’s truth in denial?
I swear I’ll tell the truth, I swear I’ll lie
Who’s truth means I can get out of jail?
The marching of insects precedes your demise
They’re patiently waiting, queueing up to be next in line
Dig deep build your wall, brace the gates with everyone you’ve loved
No-one knows your face, nameless, nomenclatureless
There’s got to be somewhere that we can be seen
It's got to be, so we can be cast in stone
Only Jesus saves the good people who ask
Where the fuck does it say I don’t get mine?
Oh my god your knowing naivety numbs me to your god
Now you’re too willing to fall
They say there’s there’s truth in denial
Just because it’s true, don’t make it a lie
Who says there’s truth in denial?
I swear I’ll tell the truth, I swear I’ll lie
Who’s truth means my face is on show?
The Ministry has gotten it’s way
Every time the rats have kept me at bay
I feel them tear at my face till there’s nothing left
There’s nothing left but bones and a broken wish
So open the limo and tell me I’m not me.

Pay Me
02:54
|

|
You don’t pay me enough to care
Don’t pay me enough to care for any effort I can spare
Contractual despair
I’m exhausted by the way
In case you were away and missed the memo yesterday
Just pay me enough to stay
Is anyone listening?
Is anyone listening?
I’m going to kill you all, is anyone listening now?
Tell me my value, show me the difference I make
Then I can show you the toll that my labours take
Nothing here is sacred, nothing here is worth it
Payment for a lifetime wasted in this service
People over me
There’s people over me that I would never choose to be
Is anyone listening? I can not go on…
How is this how we live?
Tell me my value, show me the difference I make
Then I can show you the toll that my labours take
Nothing here is sacred, nothing here is worth it
Payment for a lifetime wasted in this service
Pay me enough to care
Don’t pay me enough to care
I will kill everyone in here
Is anyone listening?
They’re listening, but they don’t care.

Empty Smile
04:55
|

You’re not singing - everyone here wants to talk about - how they feel about your quietness - “cheer up honey”
Give them nothing - right until they think you’ve fallen out - offer vaguely worded platitudes - “feeling funny”
Dislocation - see your friends a million miles away - even though they’re right in front of you - show your
Empty smile - billion thoughts you know you’ll never say - wear your mask of vacant apathy - hide your
Sometimes the fall is needed, sometimes the impact is the gift
Sometimes you need to know you’re safe from you
You’re not feeling - the same way as they all seem to - making uninformed pronouncements like - “I can help you”
They’re not thinking - every time they think they know you, they all have to tell you how they do - “I can help you”
Tell me something that I’ve never heard - tell it twice - just in case I’ve heard it all before - once or twice
No-one listens - to anything I say or do - I can only hide my face until I’m through
Sometimes the fall is needed, sometimes the impact is the gift
Sometimes you need to know you’re safe from you
Time isn’t slowing, I’m sure that knowing me will never set me free
All I can do is Fall into the abyss and hope that doing this helps me
All I can do is Fall into the abyss and hope that doing this helps me
I hope that doing this helps me.

Obfuscation
05:29
|
|||
|
Unending information blinds the feeble from hypocrisy
Unbending inflammation of the people feeds your fallacy
Obfuscation / Manipulate the people
Termination / you’ll break the world in two
Obliterate / with every lie you prove that
YOU ARE HATE - You fucking clown
Tell everyone that hears you you’re a winner, you’re a paragon…
You know exactly what you are, you’re not the man that you state
You’re everything wrong with this world, you’re focusing on building hatred
One day you’ll have a reckoning - for every lie you have told
You’ll be made to suffer until - Hell lies cold
I hereby pledge my fealty to anyone with love in their soul
These followers of hatred, blindly follow, and destroy themselves
Play the masses like the fools that they are
Play for time whenever you go too far
Play the game because you cheat all time
Play the system to avoid all your crimes
Objectify them all - grab all the things you want
You’re safe from critics you now you’re head of all the cunts
Obfuscate the truth / Manipulate the people
Build lie upon lie / you’ll break the world in two
Sell your broken dream / with every lie you prove that
YOU ARE HATE - You fucking clown.

Colony Of One
05:15

Too many voices speaking, too many thoughts combined
So many different feelings, I can’t seem to clear my mind
If only I could see through this cloud around my head
Maybe I’d be more than this broken man inside instead
You’re lost in the maelstrom of your own pain
You’ve swum in the void so far
You’ve lost your identity to your pain
You’re more than you think you are
Take me out of myself / Make them just disappear
All I have is self / I must conquer fear
Denigrate the masses filling up inside
Delegate my madness at least I fucking tried
You know you are your own colony
Opening everything, opening up to what you cannot betray
You know you are
Each voice you can hear adds weight to your fear
Each one you can break (is) a promise you make
Don’t be so afraid, this is how progress is made
Each voice you can hear adds weight to your fear
Don’t be so afraid, this is how progress is made
You know you are your own enemy
Opening everything, opening up to what you cannot betray
You know you are
You know you are you...
You’ve swum in the void so far
You’re more than you think you are
