Who

Who loves you when you’re down?
Who loves you when you have no one?
Who takes you in from the cold when you’re sad and low?
Who will always be your friend? Do you know?
Who loves you when you’re bad?
Who loves you when you have no one?
Who loves you when you’ve got no home to go to?
Who loves you when it’s all gone wrong?
Your soul is a soul on fire
We’ve seen your blaze so many times
You’ve been so separate from other people
Your fire keeps you from people
I find you running nowhere
Distressed beseeching…
Who will love you when you’re down?
Who loves you when you have no one?
Who loves you when’re isolated and stateless?
Who loves you when you find you’re in a rage?
Your soul is a soul on fire
We’ve seen your blaze so many times
You’ve been so separate from other people
Your fire keeps you from people
I find you running nowhere
Distressed beseeching…
Who? Who? Who? Who?

Exhume Yourself

Exhume yourself
Assume you've been...
You see we're saved
Rushed in time
A lost face
A certain "gee whiz"
I want to be like you
The king of something
And you know she's lonely
She says she should be sent to town
She's closed and slowly
Seizures come on as you wants to go down
A "kidocent"
Shoot soon
For your disposal
I feel I'm glowing
I love it here, but...
I've done the social
Made music in time
Wrest an old tune
And make it sound obscene
All around this town
Bullets in the sand
They kept it all the same
She's cold, she nods
Ease in to the rusting, I say
Come over to the romance of beer
Her motion says she can be a star
Rest it on a rest assured
It's simple enough
I see
Carved out
You scream at me - why bring it up?
You shut
Your cake-hole
No one
Makes these things up

Giving Back
03:51
|
|||
|
If we’re not helping each other
Then what are we doing?
If we don’t take care of each other
Then who do we care for?
There always must be give and take
We all know that taking is easy
For all the withdrawals we make
Returns show that we care
It's not all about you, you know
And most of all
We should be giving to the world
And not just taking away
It's not all about you you know

Clean Out
03:16
|
|||
|
Are they the finest
Or the lowest?
Way too much power
To our richest
Our vaunted leaders
Love their status
Our filthy rulers
Act for themselves alone
Let’s clean out
Those richest people
They’re not the freshest
We need to clean out the bowl
Humans
Too long in power
They Rot like corpses
And should be shoved in a hole
Concentration
Of wealth and power
In too few people
Is a real danger to us all
We must address this
Failed compact
Take real action
And wrench the power to save us all

Beat Me
04:06
|
|||
|
He bore his soul
She falls asleep
She got it easy
But she don’t see it
I’m doing nothing
I’m doing something
Must’ve done something
For you to do me
I’d sooner sooth things
You’re all I need
I’ll give you everything no less
Song, tick
Song, tick
Jesus, I dog-gone
I'm lost in the red: drowned
Hunting and killing
He sees that there's nothing
To hunt in the lost zone
My eyes stuck in treacle
Bounding and tousled
And sleeping alone
Do you see me?
Don’t do you do nothing
To prove you don’t need me
You don’t want to do me
Don’t you sit sulking
Its soaking the children
Don’t do it solo:
You fucked up and beat me
Bleedin' and pushin'
I'm aching for baby
She cuts and she slits
And she fucked up and beat me
You saw that fucker
Who knows you and hates you
Abiding with lovers
Who don't want to take you
And...
We're still in love
I'm your out-there man
I'm still in love here
With empty hands
I'm still in love
And I still love you
But you fucked up
You fucked up and beat me
And so...
You taught me a lesson
You so-and-so
You found me depressing
In the calm
I say to the darkness
"If you loved me
Then why would you hurt me?
If you loved me
Then why would you hurt me?"

Lived Like Kings
04:13
|

|
Doin' all the things
You said we shouldn't do
You lived like Kings
You said we shouldn't do it
Your apostles on the take
You said that you don't mind
We loved you
Why don't you love us?
It's true
It's true
Praying in our corridors
Kneeling at your altars
Pilfering our handbags
Never leaving us alone
God, you're getting caustic
Your pious, hell-filled rants
You were loving all good children
We should've watched your hands
Dishin' up this dope
For me it isn't easy
Stop praying for a second
So we can beat the hate out of you
You see you've been the king of traumas
You locked us in a dark room
When something felt like fun
You said "don't do that any more"
Tell me what's your problem
Controlling all good women
Afraid they're all laughing at
Your God-Boy's little prick
You can keep your dumb "beliefs"
We don't need them any more
Your shocking toxic nonsense
Chills me to the core
Praying in our corridors
Kneeling at your altars
Pilfering our handbags
Never leaving us alone
Dishin' up this dope
For me it isn't easy
Stop praying for a second
So we can breath
Dishin' up this dope
For me it isn't easy
Stop praying for a second
So we can beat the hate out of you

Shellman
04:14
|
|||
|
Time sure is time
The way we pass it is a crime
Time spent with fools
And characters in my mind
I would be free
Without my mind
I know it’s not mine
Finally undermining me so
Slack brains are born
Sailing by the seed
Can’t hold the reins
You gave them all to me
I wield the reigns
I can't hold them now
Can't hear the thrust
Makes it all go black again
Pushing the cheese
This man is all a man
Watches by the mantle
Singing in the rain
Well I can be free
Handle the strain
Busting your reigns
Catching the train
Going all the way
Going all the way
Burn, oh
Stand by the river's edge
Burn, yeah
Standby the river's edge
Well I’ll be the first
Shellman in space
Cannot be traced
Look at my face
An empty disgrace

Gotta Dump
03:57

Gotta dump the ones that hold you back
Take 'em to the door and kick 'em in the ass
Say "I'm not the guy who wants to be near you
I'm not the guy that needs to be with you"
Gotta dump the ones that hold you back
Kick 'em in the ass, give 'em a heart attack
Say "I'm not the guy that wants to be near you
I'm not the guy that wants to be you"
Gotta dump the ones that hold you back
Say "I'm not the one that wants to be near you
I'm not the one that wants to be seen with you
I'm not the one who wants to love you"
Gotta dump the ones that hold you back
Say "I'm not the one that wants to believe you
I'm not the one that wants to see you
I'm not the one who loves you"
Gotta dump the ones that hold you back
They're not ones that want to love you
They're not ones that want to be seen with you
They're not the ones who need you
I need you
Gotta dump the ones that hold you back
They're not the ones that want to love you
They're not the ones that want to see you
They're not the ones that want to be near you
Gotta dump the ones that hold you back
They're not the ones that want to be near you
They're not the ones that want to see you
They're not the ones that want to be with you
Gotta dump the ones that hold you back
Gotta dump the ones that hold you back
Gotta dump the ones that hold you back
Gotta dump the ones that hold you back
Go dump the ones that hold you back
Go dump the ones that hold you back
Go dump the ones that hold you back
Go dump the ones that hold you

Anxiety
03:43
|
|||
|
Nightly
We are frightened
By the things that we observe
Fretting
With our loved ones
So many things we can’t control
Our nightly news shows
Drip with evil
In this world there’s so much to fear
Anxious for our children
We’re apprehensive
Even when we sleep
Clearly
To combat chaos
We search for patterns to dull our fears
Anxious
We search out logic
To keep out danger when it seems near
Our nightly news shows
Drip with evil
In this world there’s seems so much to fear
Anxious for our children
We’re apprehensive
Even when we sleep

A Binding Contract
03:58
|
|||
|
I know the lost and found
They’ve been around
They live in this sausage factory
They love their children just like me
They’ve been enticed into the trees along the way
They’ve seen some things they don’t
Want to see
You beast of burden
Tantalisingly closed
Do the things you don’t deny you have to
Don’t you love it still?
Talking now
Taking now
Doing now
Talking now
Thinking loud
Do it now
You were talking too much
Were you talking too much?
Are we loved?
Or are we just fools?
Or are we just used?
This doomed silly child
Will be the last to know
The dark and dust
Will shroud your story
It’ll do him no harm to lose his glory
You did, you killed
You can darken your paws
You hide you from you as much as from it
Stay clean and all
Now who can know you?
The bad you do
And your talk of the need
And no man will give you
Anything to be the worst you can be
When we are lost and alone
When we're sitting all alone
When you're sick and tired
Of the fight to survive
I was summoned to say how I feel
