You will need me
04:49
|

you will need me
you were never born lucky that was only in your dreams
fat cat came in and drank all the cream
you seemed to have missed the point to rocking this boat
now your up shit creek without a paddle without a hope
now your up shit creek without a paddle or a hope
careful of your wanton displays of aggressive front
rounding up your posse for a hunt
to achieve your goal what will be the cost to your soul
those who supported now abandon you hammering down all the screws
dont look to me to be an ally or a saviour
you alone are responsible for your own behaviour
and you will need me before i'll ever need you
this is my mantra to all you say and do
this lesson will be long learned
as our love hate pyre is burnt
before i ever say forgive and forget
your destiny on rails your future has been set
and you will need me before i'll ever need you
this is my mantra to all you say and do
dont look to me to be an ally or a saviour
you alone are responsible for your own behaviour
and you will need me before i'll ever need you

Bad Comrade
04:14
|

Bad Comrade
together we fall
but you can go first
get up for the call
solidarity the curse
follow the cue
you can push through
i'm bringing it up from behind
united we stand
divided we die
foolish followed by the brave then the blind
from back here i can see
what out there awaits me
the big push through
then i will follow you
the gamble of the game being played
if i'm taken to task
for always going last
then i am guilty of being a bad comrade
when it comes to the crunch
i'm the best of the bunch
the best friend you wish you never had
when a situation sucks
when you're all out of luck
it pays to have a comrade so bad
no cowards way out
its not what its about
to fight the battle is to survive the game
murphy's law rules every war
to come out alive carries no shame
you are a pawn
the day you were born
today this moment you're being played
out in the field
you are my shield
because i've always been a bad comrade.

Bring me into land
05:11
|
|||
bring me into land
Im coming in slow and low
Burning at both ends
Time to suck then blow
With baited breath
Control the destiny that ends in my death
Spent and empty
I need to jettisoned all my fuel
Take the pleasure of playing for keeps
hard and cool
Focused on a radar blip
I grip
With wet hands
Guided by voices
That bring me into land
Cut back the pace
Follow the curve of your face
I Shudder and vibrate the earth is my deflection
I push it all the way avoiding premature ejection
I smoulder and burn now im down
And release you from my grip
We landed crashed out
we're Fighting gravity
we're Fighting gravity
we're Fighting gravity
we're Fighting gravity
we're Fighting gravity
and the ground

Monster
05:59
|
|||
i am the monster you want me to be
Monster
i want to say i hate you
but i cant shed this cross i bare
i would like to believe that i dont know you
but its against my heart to say i dont care
there is a part of me
that is a piece of you
i am all and everything
you've been through
and you to me are the broken heart
that i can never mend
only its bleeding love i send
and only in my head you receive
all i want to believe
is that a smile on your lips appears
as it alleviates your fears
that you think i dont want or love you
though we both know its all my imagination
left to cope with my frustration
as i am pushed beyond belief
in twisted confusion
emotional scars and retribution
as i become the monster you want me to be
I am the monster
i am the monster
i am the monster

Bones
03:42
|
|||
Bones
Rolled the bones standing by my decision
In my mind your nothing but an apparition
Ive given up the ghost
Of caring and loving the most
For these mind games have become a mission
Of standard operational procedures
Aimed at attrition
Try and change back to the original plan
Taking it back to where it began
Is what I really want to forget
Why cant I have my cake and eat it
As every mouthful sticks in my throat
Tired of wearing this disruptive pattern coat
I am a chameleonic life form
when did all this become the norm
exchanging one routine for another
at what point did I try to recover my youth
nostalgia for the non existent era of truth
falls short of where I am
and what I want to be
no one said that life was easy
in this reality im dying a little more every day

your call is waiting
keep you on hold
already on line
so you're as good as sold
there is something you want from us
so here's a little muzak
to reinforce trust
your call is still waiting
so anticipating
that you
will eventually be put through
though the call was cold
now you're on hold
as we have better things to do
press one if you think that this is all wrong
now press two if you want something else to do
or press three if you want to hear me
repeat
repeat all three options to you once again
calls maybe recorded for the purpose of training
and information retaining
for consumer profiling
future cold call automated dialling
we know you don't deserve this
but its all part of improving our unwanted service
press 3 to hear these options again

Happy slide
04:26
|
|||
a happy moment slides into view
darken months lose their shroud
with the evaporation of these heavy clouds
and a happy moment slides into view
with the winter sun streaming through
the bedroom window and onto my face
lying down avoiding the human race
share a minute and gentle words
listen to the breaking morning birds
cheep chatter call and cry
putting off the moment before we rise
by hitting snooze for the final time
today everything will work out fine
you tell me as i pull you in tight
these happy moments feel just right
because if i died this very day
under the suns warming rays
i'd be grateful in the knowledge
that i have achieved
for these happy times i had received
with some one as loving as you

Die to win
03:48
|

Die to win
standard extinction bullshit
never surrender
we'll never give in
we're born to lose
we die to win
oppositional defiance
break the bonds of alliance
won and gained
nothing remains
only the chains that hold you
slave to the system that sold you
out to the winners
on the top floor
your sweat seeps from every pore
your blood will settle no scores
work for freedom
then you are no more
this is your life
so live it
this is your love
so give it
this is your fight
so bring it
on and on and on.........
never surrender
we'll never give in
we're born to lose
we die to win
nothing remains
only the chains that hold you
slave to the system that sold you
out to the winners
on the top floor
your sweat seeps from every pore
your blood will settle no scores
work for freedom
then you are no more
never surrender
we'll never give in
we're born to lose
we die to win

Committed
05:44
|
|||
What ever i do will put you through
a dilemma of the heart
from end to start
ive been committed
to it not working out
all the swings and roundabouts
are making me feel sick
the anxiety kicks
me again and again in the guts
with all the ifs buts
and maybes
all the wants that need to be
are equaled by me
letting you down
you knew this was bound
to happen
and ive been marking the days
to have something to say
the minute you said you love me

Nothing is forever
03:40
|
|||
nothing is forever
so never say never
this is your life
and hold it together
do what you want
say what you please
multiply the virus
spread like disease
who said it was fair
yourself you don't trust
like everyone else
made from water and dust
today you are here
tomorrow you are gone
in your heart was a beautiful song
like water and dirt
every atom of pain and hurt
chasing a dream
plan another scheme
i think you're so funny
when you talk about the money
so much more to this
that you will never understand
so live for every kiss
and touch of every hand
the gods you reached
the moments you keep
the camera of our mind
some how
the here and now
we are totally blind
so we chase another dream
plan another scheme
and i still think you are funny
when you talk about the money

November

November
like a blind man who once remembered the stars
i count every car
that could have you inside go by me
i keep saying why me
as the November cold creeps in
this never ending winter begins
and reminds me of the day you came to be
though you would never see
the tears that cloud my eyes
lost behind the sex and all the lies
the stories with meat stripped from the bone
now i am alone
holding the statement of intended mission
pounding home the definition
of ghost on to my brain
as i am the one without you
the shadow of you is my pain
i reach into the dark to pull you through
as i am the one without you
i am the man who is without faith
i am the man alone with his nose less face
to spite himself for his existence
how long can you keep up this resistance
until i am dead
do you remember when you once said
that you would love me forever
love me forever
like a blind man who once remembered the stars
i count every car
that could have you inside go by me
i keep saying why me
as the November cold creeps in
this never ending winter begins
and reminds me of the day you came to be
though you would never see
the tears that cloud my eyes
lost behind the sex and all the lies
the stories with meat stripped from the bone
now i am alone
holding the statement of intended mission
pounding home the definition
of ghost on to my brain
as i am the one without you
the shadow of you is my pain

Paracetamol
04:32
|

16 paracetamol blister pack
got a face like an asthma attack
im choking up my horse meat value burgers
this disability living allowance claims
i don't have aspergers
ive been processed by the sceptics
locked in the politics of epileptics
service users all
at 7 am radio alarm clock call
moves me from cold feet slumber
attached to my name a number
time i think to replace my sim
keep em all guessing
am i out or in
now i've become the sport
knowing one day i'm gonna get caught
for a crime you know i can't commit
though i stand guilty of every piece and bit
that does and sometimes
doesn't come out my mouth

Ignorant bliss

ignorant bliss
you feel safe in the knowledge
that my ignorance is bliss
blending in
i'm the background
another name on another list
infamy
they've got it in for me
but why should i care
this my life my conspiracy
who will remember if i was ever there
pixelate my face
in your close circuit lense
control alt delete
every single friend
disengage the data
stop recording my calls
transparency transparency
i'm building all the walls
my home my mind the prison
no one ever sees
temperature controlled isolation
positioned to never disagree
reactionary opinion
soon to be new law
i see all the beautiful children
assembling to fight the old mans war
antidisestablishmentarianism
is the biggest word i know
I'm on the list of restricted
as their powers grow
well meaning good intentioned
how can i ever resist
loaded into a state of potential hate
safe in the knowledge of ignorant bliss
you feel safe in the knowledge
that my ignorance is bliss
blending in
i'm the background
another name on another list
infamy
they've got it in for me
but why should i care
this my life my conspiracy
who will remember if i was ever there

Set you up
05:19
|

Set You up
you say your face is your ticket
so prepare to have it punched
your debt is out of credit
so this is the crunch
you no longer bank good will with me
from eye to eye i swear blind
you cant see
the view in front of you
without tripping over it
i know you can dish it out
but could never take a hit
unless you resort to lies
and puppy dog eyes
the vote of no confidence
you play your attack
like the wounded defence
playing mind games protected by the ring fence
of mothers apron strings and skirts
whilst my face was streaked with dirt
i smiled at you holding my bruised knuckle
knowing only the taste of daddies belt buckle
the philosophy of its not a crime until i get caught
from me to you this is the reward
as im biding my time
to set you up
for the biggest fall
of your life

Skylers Lament

skylers lament
you said it was all protection
thats what you want me believe
well i call it simple deception
which leaves me nothing to retrieve
i wonder if the sun will rise tomorrow
as you gamble another day
against our lives i see you borrow
a price which you'll never repay
when did the feeling up and leave you
to tell between right and wrong
why can't respect ever reprieve you
and return you where you belong
you're out of my heart but in my head
imprisoned by your greed
to tell me that everyone fears you
isn't reassurance i need
you hold out your arms
and say you forgive me
like its my fault your life is wrong
its an attitude i can't let defeat me
as at your side i belong
you've left me in an awkward position
i can't bare to see you bleed
there is no cure
only a state of remission
as from the power you feed
when did the feeling up and leave you
to tell between right and wrong
why can't respect ever reprieve you
and return you where you belong
you're out of my heart but in my head
imprisoned by your greed
to tell me that everyone fears you
isn't reassurance i need
the only time that'll make this right
is when you die
and this all goes away

Something for nothing

something for nothing
Down in the town where the blind are all deaf
ain't never gonna change so don't hold your breath
everyone has an opinion on you
tell you what their not prepared to do for you
close my eyes and hold my ears
something for nothing don't come for free
be lucky to leave with your dignity
i am the sum of all my fears
something for nothing don't come for free
be lucky to leave with your dignity
no one said this life was for free
the cost of living is take take take take
down in the town where the blind are all deaf
ain't never gonna change so don't hold your breath
and everyone has an opinion of you
tell ya what their not prepared to do for you
not prepared to do for you
something for nothing don't come for free
be lucky to leave with your dignity
something for nothing don't come for free
be lucky to leave with your dignity
something for nothing don't come for free
be lucky to leave with your dignity
something for nothing don't come for free
be lucky to leave with your dignity
something for nothing don't come for free
be lucky to leave with your dignity
something for nothing don't come for free
be lucky to leave with your dignity
oh yeah
close my eyes hold my ears i am the sum of all my fears

Working the system

working the system
work pay obey comply
push me towards the day i die
in my heart i say what i want
see my soulless eyes they are just a front
i do as i am told i work hard for my bread
obey all the laws and all that is said
by the man and the powers that be
even though i know they dont care about me
i swallow the lies and live by the rules
keep my head down and tolerate the fools
everyday i abide by their decisions
every day i die a little working the system
i am the worker the faceless drone
moving in synch with the rest of the clones
my thoughts and dreams you will never see
in my mind im alive being me
work pay obey comply
push me towards the day i die
in my heart i say what i want
see my soulless eyes they are just a front
never underestimate resistance
never assume the lie of acceptance
in my mind i will always be free
to fuel the fires with apathy
work pay obey comply
push me towards the day i die
i keep my head down and follow the rules
i keep my mouth shut and tolerate the fools
in my mind i will always be free
fuelling the fires with apathy
i swallow the lies and live by the rules
keep my head down and tolerate the fools
everyday i abide by their decisions
every day i die a little working the system
i am the worker the faceless drone
moving in synch with the rest of the clones
my thoughts and dreams you will never see
in my mind im alive being me
i do as i am told i work hard for my bread
obey all the laws and all that is said
by the man and the powers that be
even though i know they dont care about me
i swallow the lies and live by the rules
keep my head down and tolerate the fools
everyday i abide by their decisions
every day i die a little working the system
i am the worker the faceless drone
moving in synch with the rest of the clones

Devil may care slither in the dust
Snake eyes glimmer with contempt and mistrust
the life all you will ever know
Crawling on your belly spreading fear as you go
Temptation lust lies and the greed
Your forked tongue flickers before you feed
On the shameless sinful hapless and weak
Your selling the snake oil that they seek
Shed your skin slide under a rock
Cotton mouth your lies don’t stop
Side wind out safe across the sand
Now you’ve bitten the hand
That feeds you
The poison fangs that bleed through
The hiss and rattle
life and death battle
Whisper of deceit no give all take
Self serving non deserving snake
Preaching the lie of holy salvation
Sold your soul for eternal damnation
Faced with a crisis
life and death proportions
Broadcasting these latest distortions
The sin of man within this hell nation
Slip among your congregation
The righteous will be robbed of their honest toil
Selling your words coated with
Your snake oil

Meant is meant to be
00:51
|

meant is meant to be
i wish i could focus,
I'm one of a billion locusts,
who’s trying to eat my way through living,
like a pebble moving across water,
will sink once it stops skimming,
still not quite sure what i want from me,
i wish more people believed in me,
as all i trust is my own self doubt,
a worshipper at the church of nothing,
a disciple who is the most devout,
i just wish i could believe in things i can not see,
instead of running around in circles wasting energy,
as i amount to all i know,
which is probably nothing more than you,
there’s no reason to read my lips,
when my eyes say fuck you,
for the the back of my retinas mirror my self contempt,
for all my un-confessed crimes
as my apathetic verbal responses,
are like a football pitch littered with jumping jack mines,
i look at you and i still dream of what i could be,
i carry the sword of "life is what you make it",
but i hide behind the shield of what is meant,
is meant to be.
