Into The Abyss
03:38
|
|||
I see home
As a dot in the horizon
Sea waves foam
And the salt makes my eyes run
Torpedoes
Hit the last boat, the skies burn
From every side they come
God damned if the tide won't turn
I can't rest
Lullabies cannot soothe me
Overhead
Summer skies hang on loosely
Playing with death
One more time he just might choose me
I threw everything away
And curiously I gazed
Into the abyss
I've seen what I had to see
While it was gazing in me
I'm being all I can be
Life's got it in for me
I'm just rifle infantry
Into the abyss
I learned from all it could teach
My grasp exceeded my reach
Now I sleepwalk holding a piece
Life's squeezing the joy from me
Prefrontal lobotomy
My feet hurt
I can't stand being this useless
Stomach churns
Darkness dilates my pupils
The tears run
Like a tap that's been loosened
Searching for love and hope
Neck's kindof burned from rope
I ask too much
I'll never know what the truth is
The past sucked
Let me contemplate the future
Giving a fuck
Is nothing more than a nuisance
Stupid indeed, but brave
Furiously I gazed
Into the abyss
It gave me just what I need
My cradle fell out the tree
My instincts told me to flee
I went where I had to go
Right down the rabbit hole
Into the abyss
In chains when I should be free
My spirit wants off the leash
I'm sick of trying to please
Life makes me want to die
Wave every cunt goodbye

Kill The Boy
02:25
|
|||
Something's soured in the night
We must purge the rye and rice
There's an outage for tonight
Slowly snuff the pilot light
Bring all the power you can find
There are scoundrels taking sides
A thousand cowards fled the fight
In no towers shall they hide
Torch them
Smoke them out, shoot the stragglers
Catch the spider in its web
Whack the viper on the head then
March them out to their parapets
Line them up and point them out
Strike with courage kill the doubt then
Kill the boy
Don't think, just snip the chord
Give him a quick send off
And throw his baggage on the pyre
Kill the boy
Go on and prick the boil
Strike swift and twist the coil
And watch the man rise from the fire
Something's rotten in the broth
We must upturn the whole damn pot
Cut a bandage out some cloth
Amputate above the clot
Turn the water into wine
Scrub the paint with turpentine
Numb the pain with something white
Stun your brain a couple times
Tonight
Hit them now while the lights are dim
We'll outflank them in the dark
Quickly shank ‘em in their backs then
Slit their throats while the tide is in
Throw the bodies to the waves
Let the water wash away then

Love Me
02:44
|
|||
For every ugly little act
For every word that won't take back
For every something there's a reason
And a someone feeling bad
For every day that falls to waste
Let there be something in its place
Let me know somewhere I can see
There's fate that I can contemplate
Oh
How I’m nothing if not useless
There’s a gulf inside I wander shoeless
Every argument is fruitless
Someone tell me why I must go through this
Love me
I'm your son
Love me
Just this once
For all the love that don't take place
For every clumsy, cold embrace
For every blunder digs a crater
The subconscious fills with hate
For every foot that's out of step
And every excuse that don't make sense
For all the hurt that just won't mend
That's catastrophic to the health
Take me somewhere with no bruises
Where there’s someone proud and no one stupid
Some day I will do a good thing
Maybe be the person that I should be

Rabid Wolf
02:35
|
|||
I'm a loner, far from home
My serotonin's running low
I'm doped up to keep my hopes up
So far I can't be consoled
Been a' roaming past this nowhere
Show me more than what there is
Now my soul has been exposed
I've started foaming at the lips
Woah!
Listen carefully please
Stay away from me
You don't want this disease
You'd better still get tested
I'm not quite myself
And I may bite when stressed
I'll list the side effects
Have penicillin ready
Where do you go
When you're broken-hearted?
Out on the boat
Can't get the motor-started
I've been alone
Throughout this whole debacle
Been diagnosed
It seems this wolf is rabid
Oh!
I am prone to being no one
Self-control is fucking shit
I'm a crewman missing movement
Go on, throw me in the brig
Been a' floating in this ocean
In which everyone has pissed
Growing cold as I get older
Letting go the more I drift
Woah!
Life's a mystery
That I don’t wish to keep
Seems I’ve lost the receipt
But can I get store credit?
Life’s a piece of shit
And I can’t deal with it
Me, I’m a realist
Now give me something better
Where do you go
When you're broken-hearted?
Out on the road
Without a coat of armour
Get on all fours
When life’s excruciating
Turn off the hose
It seems this wolf fears H2O

Superzero

When they fill in my grave
And the people walk away
I don't want them to pray
Just do not forget my name!
When my coffin's been laid
And the writing's been engraved
I don't want to rot away
I've got people still to save (save me)
I want you passers-by
To acknowledge I'm alive
Call me down from the sky
Be fantastic in your eyes
I want to be the guy
For whom, no obstacle's too high
Has no teardrops in his eyes
Takes bad fortune in his stride
I want to fly
But my heels just drag on the pavement
I want to inspire
Be admired and celebrated
I'm Mr Hyde
Because of these bad choices I'm making
I want to be the doctor
Not the abomination
I cry
But wait til nobody's near though
I want to be a hero
But I'm just plain superzero
Ka-Blam!
I'll never
Be the man of the people
I want to be a hero
But I'm just plain superzero
God damn!
I try to live day to day
Keep the cracker on the plate
Try to fill up my brain
With distractions from the pain
Every slit in my mind
Lets the darkness seep inside
Tangled weeds creep up the vine
Vultures eat me from inside out
I want to live a life
I don't have to cloak in lies
What I've got will suffice
Don't need pills to crack a smile
I want to have a place
That's not covered by the shade
To have a strong identity
That no words can chip away at
Time robs me blind
And I just crumple the pages
I'm standing in line
Though I have run out of patience
I lost my pride
My self esteem is still vacant
Chances come my way
But I don't know how to take them
I cry
Don't feel like showing the tears though
I want to be a hero
But I'm just plain superzero
Ka-Blam!
I try
But they know I'm just a weirdo
I want to be a hero
But I'm just plain superzero
Fuck that!

Listen To Grandma
03:44
|
|||
The papers say
The bombs are on their way
The diplomats have failed
If you've a rad-x then take it
I close my eyes
Before we're vaporised
And all that's sacred dies
And quickly haver my last goodbyes
It's over
I'm frozen
How long before that final explosion?
An army poster said "It's all ok"
And that "The bad man's joking
“Only trying to scare us"
But Grandma told me "Time to say your prayers"
"Pandora's box has opened"
"Only God’s grace can save us now”
So many ways
I threw my time away
And on my final day
I'll watch what's mine disintegrate
Bright tears light eyes
I hear my mother cry
I’ll see these people die
My fears are keeping me silent
I’m afraid and
Unprepared and
On this day we’ll all be ghosts in a wasteland
The commander spoke and said "We’ll save the day“
"We’re going to guard our shores"
"And in the battle we’ll prevail”
But Grandma told me "Time to say your prayers"
"Pandora's box has opened"
"Only God’s grace can save us now”
When the missiles launch
And all the cities fall
Those in their pretty vaults
Will have to bury our corpses
One minute war
Is going to kill us all
And then our little rock
Will get so sick in the fallout
I’m frightened
I can’t hide it
My life is going to end in the lightening
We gather knowing this will be our grave
And in this anxious moment
We hold onto one last embrace
For Grandma told me "Time to say your prayers"
"Pandora's box has opened"
"Only God’s grace can save us now”

Sins And Needles
02:22
|
|||
Give me poison in my veins
Spray some toxins in my lungs
I need some ointment for the pain
Some soporific for my blood
Got the caps let's make the purchase
No I can't escape its clutches
I go round on makeshift crutches
Worship daily in its churches
I need that buzz
I need that release
I'll chase that rush
Until I'm deceased
Make me feel nice
I’ll have no regrets
I'll pay the price
Still be in your debt
I need that hit to just feel normal
Help me contemplate tomorrow
Chase away the day's real sorrow
Give a strong template to follow
This endless war shall have no victor
In hell the contraband flows quicker
I cleanse my thoughts with chems and liquor
My medicine just gets me sicker
I need that buzz
I need that release
I'll chase that rush
Until I'm deceased
Just lift me up
’Til both pillars collide
Don't lift this curse
Until I get high
Sins and needles
Waken me up
Then put me to sleep
Prescribe me a drug
To cure my disease
Sins and needles

The Madness Parade
02:16
|
|||
I cast a net and fret that
I will not be eating
I’m not blessed with sense
Everyone finds so easy
Well I try to press ahead
The water's freezing
Been a better person
Since I stopped believing
Thank god
I wish this fear was less frightening
My best years weren’t behind me
Wish my tears were inspiring
Wish these feelings were silenced
I wish this man was an island
I’m trapped in an asylum
This disease has gone viral
Fire a mayday flare, cause
I just don't know what tomorrow will hold
But who knows some days I just can't seem to care
I'm going to row 'til I've worn down the oars
I don't want a place in the madness parade
I don't expect to get the answers
That I plead for
In the end I'm sandwiched
Between bad and evil
Can't express the dissidence
Inside myself
I made a mess of everything
To find the centre
I did
I hear a screaming inside me
Like the screech of a siren
My the demons are biting
Can't mask feelings with violence
My inner beast’s something phallic
Don’t tell me not to panic
Won a seat on Titanic
Iceberg dead ahead!

Getting Ghoulish
02:46
|
|||
Death didn’t come with bombs
I’m turned to goo inside
Tread in a muddy pond
And I’m starting to lose my sight
Flesh starts to crack and peel
Veins an unhealthy grey
Friends turn their backs on me
Help! I’m watching myself decay
Tell me what’s happening to me!
I’m sick like a dog in the street
Eyes glow
And blood pressure’s low
My whole head’s itching
Eyeballs twitching
Someone fix me
I noticed today
My nose is rotting away
Looking foolish
Bones are bending
Someone mend me
I’m growling my vowels
And I’m sour in the bowels
Getting ghoulish
My skull is visible
And both my cheeks have holes
Life’s fucking miserable
And I’m sporting a greenish glow
I’ve just been cast aside
Eyesore in savage lands
Features like cattle hide
And I smell like a garbage can
Bit into tough Brahmin beef
I chewed it and I spat out some teeth
Got pale mouth
And my hair’s falling out
Hell I ain’t pretty
Eyeballs twitching
I need fixing
The doctor I paid
Turned and ran right away
Couldn’t cure this
My bones are bending
I need mending
I’m strong as a horse
But I look like a corpse
Getting ghoulish

Ain't The Life
02:30
|
|||
The forest is ablaze again
And I'm fanning the flames again
I mimed the morning prayer today
Three decades of the rosary
The weather forecasts rain again
The moon is in its wane again
There's madness on my brain again
No OTC shall mask this pain
And my, what a lovely time I'm having
How am I to pull a rabbit
Out this hat?
Chop a shelter with a blunt axe?
Grapple in the dark
Light a fire with a spent match?
Being alive makes me sick
Tie my foot to a brick
I'm extremely convinced
All my dreams turn to shit
Prior deeds hold me still
Milk I needlessly spilt
This ain't the life I ordered
Grit my teeth, hold my breath
I can't cheat on this test
I'm a 'B' student at best
And in need of a rest
I’m severely depressed
And can't deal with this stress
This ain't the life I ordered
There's thunder on the way again
And lightening near the hay again
There's tension in the air today
We're verging on a hurricane
That vulture's stalking prey again
I'm running round the maze again
Obstruction's blocking play again
Stuff’s rushing through my veins again
I'd cry but I'd hate to waste the fluid
All my crimes leave me in ruin
Fuck the past
Give me sea air hard to starboard
People hold you back
Leave those feelings in the harbour
Being alive makes me sick
Life is sucking a dick
I'm extremely convinced
All my dreams turn to shit
Prior deeds hold me still
Milk I needlessly spilt
This ain't the life I ordered
Grit my teeth, hold my breath
I can't cheat on this test
I'm a 'B' student at best
And in need of a rest
I’m extremely depressed
Up to here with this stress
This ain't the life I ordered
