A Sitcom Family
03:30

|
A sitcom family sat round the table with nothing to say
Every clink of the knives and forks echoed throughout the whole house
Their writers died of invisible cancer of the brain
No one's helping, no one's helping
Each other out cos politeness and rancor is all that they need
A sawn off dolls head placed on a pillow in your bed
Is this a promise to never pretend to be nice again?
I was living in a place of fear when you came along with your wild ideas
Said I could be someone else said I could be someone else said i could be someone else if i lived in another house
Gotta go, hope i don't drag it out and and rot in this hell
What are you waiting for, come on and get it over

Someone's trying to tell you something very important
Even if you listen right away you won't understand until it's too late
You told me jobs were evil
You were well fed and smug
I wish i could be half as smart as you then i would leech off of everyone i knew
They don't want to tell you how to live
They don't want to tell you how to live
They don't want to tell you how to live
They don't want to tell you how to live
I wish i could be half as smart as you then i would leech off of everyone i knew
They don't want to tell you how to live
They don't want to tell you how to live
They don't want to tell you how to live
They just want to take all you have to give
Act as if your bullshit morals are true
Act as if you've better things to do
Act as if your bullshit morals are true
Act as if you've better things to do
Hey how've you been doing yourself?
Still trying to be someone else?
Are you you or are you that?
It's never been too hard to see through your facade
Are you you or are you that
They don't want to tell you how to live
They don't want to tell you how to live
They don't want to tell you how to live
They just want to take all you have to give
Act as if your bullshit morals are true
Act as if you've better things to do
Act as if your bullshit morals are true
Act as if you've better things to do

Slipping away never to return
I'll stamp it out and watch it burn
We're crawling up a hill to save our little, little lives
We fight the omnipotent with our passive resistance
Magnified twilight kills
We're black spots on the pavement
Our souls in the smoke
Magnified twilight kills
Slipping away never to return
I'll stamp it out and watch it burn
When i gazed into your human eyes i saw a sadomasochistic kid
Don't stare into the bright light
Crawl on flesh
Magnified twilight kills
We're black spots on the pavement
Our souls in the smoke
Magnified twilight kills
Slipping away never to return
I'll stamp it out and watch it burn

Oblivion
02:41
|

We were drinking in an empty little kids park some time after dark the whole town asleep except you and me
Slowly twisting around on the swings we talked about things in passionate tones and half-hearted moans
Dust was floating inside our heads, i wish you hadn't said "if it wasn't for you i'd have nothing to do."
Back whammed into a bathroom wall
When you push it doesn't hurt at all
Ooooohh oooohhh
Laaa laaa
You always liked to be with strangers cos they wouldn't judge you their kindness won't budge unlike real friends who wouldn't pretend
To be around unknowing eyes held by a future judge in disguise
Ooooohh oooohhh

White Teethed Teens

He saw in her a reflection of his past, tied down by fate and making all his old mistakes
The mines she walked on were fuelled with a rookie's gas, his older hands just couldn't guide her from pain
Everyone was having fun
When he got home he didn't feel like talking
He'd rather watch tv and stare at white-teethed teens
They'd had the fight that marked the end of the week
Where for a couple of days after they'd hardly speak at all
Everyone was having fun
When he got home he didn't feel like talking
He'd rather watch tv and stare at white-teethed teens
Teens teens teens teens
Teens teens teens teens

Wonderbland
04:39
|

I was listening to the cars imagining the sound of waves
A rain-made river was rushing by, a gift to a god-forsaken place
I live in wonderbland
Dragging a cross up a hill, with a message to the parish in black marker scrawled
I live in wonderbland
Shrinking without a potion but still i fall
Shrinking without a potion but still i fall
Catholic school across the road, more white walls for me to write what i want
I live in wonderbland
Shrinking without a potion but still i fall
Shrinking without a potion but still i fall
Beneath the earth the bodies breathe
The caterpillar that won't grow
You know this place you'll never leave
The caterpillar can't evolve

Laying down on the concrete, laughing hard at some piece of nothing
Anything to escape that hazy home that hates you, dissects and breaks you
I'll know my place when it is told to me explicitly
Laying down on the concrete
Ignoring the obvious, staying oblivious, timing how long you can stay strong
Bright lights in town look like halos shaking beneath the half-moon
Vision patchy and blurred, frame by frame disconnected, apart and defected
Give me some coins to pay the ferryman oh if you can
Bright lights bring me down
Ignoring the obvious, staying oblivious, timing how long you can stay strong
You've never been out on your own
Where white women carry their shoes and animals stampede the streets
This game is rigged for you to lose for you to lose for you to lose for you to lose
Laying down on the concrete, laughing hard at some piece of nothing
Anything to escape that hazy home that hates you, dissects and breaks you
I'll know my place when it is told to me explicitly
Laying down on the concrete
Laying down on the concrete

Masquerade Ball
03:10

Let me paint an ugly picture
I'll show you all a scene
Acquaintances and friends shoved into a room it's a place that we've all been
People with friends aren't friendly
They're so comfortable and so cozy
Who killed and dragged me here?
i said "who killed and dragged me here?"
I heard a conversation between two guests where they kept agreeing with what the other one had said
you put me in my place where i have to have grace for people who will end up in real estate why should i be nice to those who deserve to have a rusty ice-pick to their throat
Seven stoners encircle me and try to brag over their last high
Each word a lazy nothing that makes me want to die
I heard a conversation between two guests where they kept agreeing with what the other one had said
you put me in my place where i have to have grace for people who will end up in real estate why should i be nice to those who deserve to have a rusty ice-pick to their throat

Narcissus

Narcissus keep me warm trapped inside a bubble
Protected from the world and all that implies
Hold me in your soft, crushing arms
Constricted movement, a passive love
Narcissus keep me warm trapped inside a bubble
Protected from the world and all that implies
Slowly creeping up and taking one by one
It's never fair and it never claimed to be so
Narcissus keep me warm trapped inside a bubble
Protected from the world and all that implies

Humdrum
02:33
|
|||
|
Everyone has plusses and minuses
The letters that spell your name are printed on my ball and chain
Beating the humdrum out of existence, it crawls back with perpetual persistence
Thoughts appear then vanish into thin air, thoughts appear then vanish into thin air
Deafening silence
I die inside when i see you staring into empty space, waiting for an image to emerge
Metaphors are cages restricting self-expression like idle conversations or intoxicant confessions
Thoughts appear then vanish into thin air, thoughts appear then vanish into thin air
Beating the humdrum out of existence, it crawls back with perpetual persistence

Open your present
It's a planned life
Don't act so surprised
You handed it over when you were born
The first steps you took could have been improved and modified to suit my preference
I cannot take the slightest deviation
I cannot take the slightest deviation
I cannot take the slightest deviation
I cannot take the slightest deviation
The first steps you took could have been improved and modified to suit my preference
I cannot take the slightest deviation
I cannot take the slightest deviation
I cannot take the slightest deviation
I cannot take the slightest deviation
