Living Or Dying
02:40
|

What’s this life about?
Fucking dreams
Living really fast now
Or dyin’ slowly
A deer in headlights
A cornered dog
Hay in a haystack
Love and fear
And I’m lost
And I’m found
The end waits
In the ground
But the sun
Will still shine
Even when
It’s burnt out
Death and violence
Blood and fear
Frantically searching
For meaning here
And I’m lost
And I’m found
The end waits
In the ground
But the sun
Will still shine
Even when
It’s burnt out
All these people wanna be, they wanna do they wanna see
All these people gonna cry, they’re gonna hurt, they’re gonna die
What’s this life about?
What’s this life about?
What’s this life about?

A year has passed without me in it
Cleaned up my act but I don’t mean it
So discontent but I can’t show
Unfulfilled is all I know
It’s not what I am for
It’s not who I want to be
Time lost like grains of sand
They got me in custody
We toil
We waste
We’re torn apart by dying dreams
We toil
We serve
We waste
Fools in an eternal race
The days fly by but I don’t feel it
Stuck in place and overthinking
I can’t go, no I can’t grow
Ageing fast, nothing to show
Ageing fast, nothing to show
It’s not what I am for
It’s not who I want to be
Time lost like grains of sand
They got me in custody

I'm An Asshole
02:57
|
|||
No not today
Anxiety
Fills up my head I wonder what to say
What can I do
But ignore you?
I’m an asshole is this news to you?
I don’t mean to
Be afraid
But all this negativity’s
Been following me
And I don’t want
To write this all off
But I do it anyway
Yeah I do it every day
What did you say?
Get off my case
Suspicion shadows me throughout my day
Where can I go?
No one can know
Isolation has never been a foe
I don’t mean to
Be afraid
But all this negativity’s
Been following me
And I don’t want
To write this all off
But I do it anyway
Yeah I do it every day
No not today
Anxiety
No not today
What can I do
But ignore you?
What can I do?
I don’t mean to
Be afraid
But all this negativity’s
Been following me
And I don’t want
To write this all off
But I do it anyway
Yeah I do it every day

So Fucking Tired
02:45
|
|||
She goes to work
Takes shit
She goes back home and takes even more of it
She's always tired
So fucking tired
One more day of this she might kill herself
I don't even mean it
But I guess I do
This life is so much more fucked up than you
Realise, you've pulled the wool down over your eyes
Caught up in your own shit
Soon you're gonna smell of it
You're a waste of fucking space man
He takes the bus
Smells of piss
Has another drink just to fuckin' deal with
He's always tired
So fucking tired
One more day of this he might kill himself
I don't even mean it
But I guess I do
This life is so much more fucked up than you
Realise, you've pulled the wool down over your eyes
Caught up in your own shit
Soon you're gonna smell of it
You're a waste of fucking space man

Break This Plateau
02:03
|
|||
Pass a drink, pass a drink
(let go)
Light it up, light it up
(we glow)
Get fucked up, get fucked up
(oh no)
We can break this plateau
We’re stuck in place
Life taken from us
Let’s take it back
(we can’t, we can’t)
Have a laugh, have a laugh
(let go)
Make your fun, make your fun
(we glow)
Don’t lose hope, don’t lose hope
(oh no)
We can end this plateau
I don’t want to be part of this game
I don’t want to keep waiting for my turn
I believe that it can be (better
be better, be better, we let go)
I don’t want to be part of this game
I don’t want to keep waiting for my turn
I believe that it can be (better
be better, be better, we let go)
We’re stuck in place
Life taken from us
Let’s take it back
(we can’t, we can’t)

Modern World
02:51
|
|||
Where does the time go?
I got none left but I got so much shit to do
This modern world
I didn’t ask for this but I can’t refuse
Is this all that there is?
This life, this place, this lack of will
Is this all that there is?
The years pass so fast
Youth fades like a cheap, stick-on tattoo
Memories clouded
Good moments these days have never been so few
Is this all that there is?
This life, this place, this lack of will
Is this all that there is?
What little money I make
Is not an indication of worth
The friends that I fail to find
Don’t measure my ability
Cause somewhere inside me
There is so much more
Something screams in darkness
With a will to be heard
Is this all that there is?
This life, this place, this lack of will
Is this all that there is?

Creeping Death
03:31
|
|||
Death waits with a smile.
Fill my life
With meaning
To distract
From the end
(Creeping Death, Creeping Death)
How much time have I got left?
(Creeping Death, Creeping Death)
Feel you on the back of my neck
Don’t slow down
Don’t stop to think
Run on water
Or stay and sink
(Creeping Death, Creeping Death)
How much time have I got left?
(Creeping Death, Creeping Death)
Feel you on the back of my neck
(Death waits)
(Death waits)
(Death waits)
(Death waits)
Embrace this joke
Don’t dispute
Black death waits
Days are few
(Death waits)
(Death waits)
(Death waits)
(Death waits)
(Creeping Death, Creeping Death)
How much time have I got left?
(Creeping Death, Creeping Death)
Feel you on the back of my neck

Don't Draw Attention
02:26
|
|||
Stay in, stay in, stay, stay in line
Don’t move man
No not this time
Stay in, stay in, stay, stay in line
Don’t draw attention
Afraid to be different
Too scared to be you
They’ve got you by the balls man
What you gonna do?
Stay in, stay in, stay, stay in line
Don’t move man
No not this time
Stay in, stay in, stay, stay in line,
Don’t give them reasons
Afraid to be different
Too scared to be you
They’ve got you by the balls man
What you gonna do?

This Song Is For Men
03:21
|
|||
Hey man do you know that you
Live in a sexist world
Where you’re born with more
Than you deserve
Because this world
Yeah it’s all yours
And every movie
You can be the star
Alone late at night
You’ll probably be alright
Have all the sex you want
Encouraged; not a slut
You can participate
In macho rape culture
You can have it all
So this song’s for you
I don’t need to
Feel powerful
(Systematic control)
(You can’t let go)
All this “maleness”
Is so fragile
(Systematic control)
(Fear of the other)
Don’t be what they want you to be
In death we’re all the same
Give life equality
Hey man do you know that you
Are sexist too?
But I believe
That you don’t wanna be
So stop joining in
And take a look around
Hidden in plain sight
Is the truth
They say we’ve come a long way
Women have more rights today
But take a closer look
Everything’s still fucked
Oh the irony
Of masculinity
(Systematic control)
(You can’t let go)
So unsure
Of what it needs to be
(Systematic control)
(Fear of the other)
Don’t be what they want you to be
In death we’re all the same
Give life equality
(Systematic control)
(Systematic control)
(Systematic control)
Can you let go?

Depression
02:22
|
|||
You wake up early
Something snaps and forces conspire
You’re feeling angry
That’s how it starts and then it’s too late
I think it’s coming it for me
I think I feel it man
Fucking depression
Don’t come near me again
You’re late for work
The third time again this week
They’re pissed, you don’t give a shit
Cause now it’s too late
The fight is leaving my soul
The light becomes too bright
Soft darkness beckons to me
I’ll never be alright
I think it’s coming it for me
I think I feel it man
Fucking depression
Don’t come near me again
(Don’t come near me again)
You go to bed
It’s getting harder to get some sleep
Your phone is dead
It don’t matter cause it’s just too late

Men In Robes
03:33
|
|||
They talk of shadows and of ghosts and death
They talk of things that haven’t happened yet
They sit and listen and they bow their heads
They’re living a life of fear yeah
The story yeah it’s always the same
Full of blood and death and we’re unclean
We need to die, we need to sacrifice
Our lives now for what comes next
Men in robes but where are all the women?
Get them young, indoctrinate the children
Strange rituals, talk of life after death
Hell, I just got here man
Cause if even if we’re in agar plate
A bearded giant looking over us
It’s not a god, not a creator
It’s just another organism
In an infinite universe
Just another creature wondering
“What the hell am I doing here?
I just wanna be somebody!”
Look up at the sun there’s no one looking back at you
I hate to break the news but course it’s true
No second chances when you’re done with this life
So make it your own, start living tonight
Even if there is a God
I didn’t ask to be born
I’m not gonna bow and praise
It’s hard enough trying to make it through the days
Without the prospect of eternal hell
And all the bullshit that they sell
It would be funny if it wasn’t so
God damned powerful
(Men in robes - They know we know)
Look up at the sun there’s no one looking back at you
I hate to break the news but course it’s true
No second chances when you’re done with this life
So make it your own, start living tonight

Life Is Fear
04:38
|
|||
A therapist once told me that I’m clairvoyant
Maybe he just told me what I needed to hear
But I walk these streets I feel the pain and I smell the fear
Baby I don’t want to die out here
I search for hope in the ghosts that roam these streets
They tell me that “love is all you’ll ever have, son”
Sometimes I feel like I bit off more than I can chew
How can that be true when there’s nothing that I do?
We’re all just running from it
We don’t know what we’re doing here
We’re all just running from it
Because life is fear
I’m too old to change and I’m too young to want to
I make being idle a god damned art form and
I really want a release, I really need a release
But I’m not doing anything about it at all
People say “hey at least you’re not dying”
And I say “well it’s not for lack of trying.
But really though you’re just outright lying”
Cause what’s the difference between a house and a hearse?
We’re all just running from it
We don’t know what we’re doing here
We’re all just running from it
Because life is fear
We’re all just running from it
We don’t know what we’re doing here
We’re all just running from it
Because life is fear
