Upside Down

1 percent of the 1 percent
Seek more rent
At dollars on the cent
Work a little harder and you’ll get richer
Be the perfect picture of health
Maximize profits
Prophetically heretically
Chewing and spitting on the people below
Making cents are you making cents
If you’re poor it’s your own damn fault

Everybody’s got money except for me
If I had more money I could be free
Max out the cards
Breaking the bank
Spend in a spree
I’ll show the whole world how rich a man can be     

Numbers can bend and numbers can break
Who’s on the take
It’s another shakedown
Fill up the coffers
Make a better offer
And the dream can be yours to own
Line those pockets
Pathetically, heretically
Pouring out pity on the people below
Making sense, are we making sense
If you’re poor it’s your own damn fault

Competition
Free market capitalism
The new religion

MONEY

EVERYBODY'S GOT MONEY EXCEPT FOR ME

I could have stayed here waiting to breathe
I could have faded or cut myself clean
I never told you what I really need

I’m a little too old to be like this
But I’m too young to know what to fix
I’ve been running so long I can’t give up
But this ain’t paint by numbers love

I only made clear what I could see
I’m only naked for you to see

paint by numbers

First single from Big Creature's upcoming EP, "Talk".

Lyrics:
You tried to get the drop
On your fears before they take control
And now you find it hard to stop
Your paranoia's on a roll

And you're tripping up the stairs
Wondering what you could have said
To make it all go away
Wishing you could have
Your time over again
Maybe you'd just go to bed

Will you let out all of the salt water caught in your lungs?
Just take one breath
Leave behind your regrets
Time to move on
We don't even have to talk

You're pulling out the stops
Doing everything you can to change
Digging through your every thought
Desperate to rearrange them

Now you’re picking at the seams
Trying to pull it apart
Clamouring for some sense
How long will it be before you can see that
All of this is in your head?

Lyrics:
Speak your mind
Tell me what's going on beneath the surface
All this time
I thought what we had was working
No replies
Could break through the walls you've been building
Cause in your eyes
I can see that you’re already changing your mind

I hope you get what you need from somebody

It's clear your heart is out of reach
Buried so deep inside, even though I tried, I couldn't find it
I hope you get what you need
From somebody who has got more time than me

Spell it out
I’ve had it with all of this testing
Leave no doubt
Cause I've given up on guessing

It didn't take much for you to give up on us

Lyrics: 
You’ve got some nerve coming back here
With that look on your face
Cause nothing is the same, dear
Everything’s changed
The length of your stare’s like heat on my back
Cause what you want, I never had

Gathered at the cul-de-sac
Wondering where the help is at
We're like arteries in heart attack
Yeah, we're like arteries in heart attack
Thinking of the talks we had
One step forward two steps back
We're like arteries in heart attack
Yeah, we're like arteries in heart attack

I’m sure you’ll find a way dear
To profit from this mess
Cause every word that your saying
Is meaningless

Arteries (EP Version)

Lyrics:
Words & Music by Michael Best

LYRICS:
Hold your hands above your head
Feel the blood rushing
Feel the blood rushing
Down the highways in your skin
Feel the blood rushing
Feel the blood rushing

I am slowly learning we are always changing
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts forever
All the edges cracking
I am done reacting
It's time for a change in pressure

I’ve started to doubt everything
Feel the blood rushing
Feel the blood rushing
I’d do almost anything
To feel the blood rushing
To feel the blood rushing

The plasma only holds it together
Cause no one’s made him a better offer

Talk EP

Pressure

Nostalgia, growing up, worry and the escapism of young love.

LYRICS:
Fumbling together like we used to
Staring in your eyes
I match my breath to how your chest moves
Waiting for your ride
I search the silence for the right words
To understand your touch
How we can press until the skin hurts
And still not be close enough

It feels like we’re just kids
Riding in the backseat
Not a single care between us
Let’s fake this feeling
Of having it together
For just a little longer baby

It feels like
We’re just kids
Let’s stay here
Forever
It feels like
We’re just kids
We’re just kids

We could stay under the sheets babe
And never come back out
Let our ignorance go untamed
And make this moment count
If we pretend we’re getting younger
And shut the whole world out
Can this really last forever?
Or will it all come crashing down?

We don’t know what’s gonna happen babe
All we know is that we’re gonna change
All we know is that we’re gonna change

Just Kids - Single

Just Kids

without breaking a sweat you turn me over again
before we can escape it, 
we are running again

WORK/ESC

i'm just the same as everybody else
there's no one like me
get my ideas from the internet
same as everybody
i'm just the same as everybody else
my time is for sale
my head is filling up with advertising
my cheque is in the mail

tell me that i'm special
tell me i'm the right size for your tv screen
break me down to nothing
i could work for you if you could work for me

i'll make it work, you make it work

i had to break up with my girlfriend
cause she's not like me
i spent my money on some better friends
cause baby nothing is free

you've got no one to blame but yourself
