capsized

no creeping up on me this time
you body bag full of slime
the source was on the phone again said you're the last one in the chain
the source was on the phone again said you're the last one in the chain
poor advisers had their say
leaving you in disarray    
if you just had half a brain
you'd turn your back
and never show up again
time to set the record straight
was it about something you hate
something you always tried to escape
something you always tried to escape

capsized
you capsized

somethings coming near (oh yeah)
watch it disappear
watch it disappear
somethings coming near (oh yeah)
watch it disappear

Capsized

This is the first one of our remixes.
Enjoy!

Verse 1:
I can't believe what my eyes have seen
This kind of misery
I can't believe what my ears have heard
This kind of treachery
I can't believe what you said to me
This kind of stupidity
I can't believe what you said to me
This kind of stupidity

Chorus:
This stinging in your chest
This ringing in your ears
This stinging in your chest
This ringing in your ears
This stinging in your chest, this ringing in your ears
Something you really want and the urge to exist
This stinging in your chest, this ringing in your ears
Something you really want and the urge to exist

Verse 2:
Why can't things be like they used to be
Some kind of conspiracy
Why can't things be like they used to be
Some kind of conspiracy
Why did I miss how it came to be
This kind of inactivity
Why did I miss how it came to be
This kind of inequality

Verse 1
What did u say?
Now can I do you?
You're sure to make a difference from what I'm told

Chorus
Don’t mess with me
And my bold future
I’ve seen it before
I feel peculiar

Verse 2
What did u say?
I don't remember
I kind if figured out what I need, right now

Bridge
And it's not my fault
If we go under
And it's not my fault
It's the right of plunder

I know it's my fault
If the waves ride higher
Got a gun in my pocket
To set the world on fire, but

I don’t care I don’t care
I don’t care I don't care 
And you can meet me there

Got everything 
To fulfill my desire
All the plugs and sockets
And a starter for my rocket, but

I don’t care I don’t care
I don’t care I don't care 
And you can meet me there

i am the axeman
and i know what it takes
i am pleading not guilty
as i wander through my days

i'm always concerned
when i'm breaking your face
i am taking your orders
to my favourite place

send me your elders
and all your young lads
the axeman is bridging
the generation gap

soaked to the skin
i am feeling no pain
there is no need to share
when there is nothing to gain

axeman
axeman   
axeman 
… ad infinitum

Axeman

you can only bear 
only bear so much 
like  breathin thin air
afraid of a touch

i would like to take some time off
i could walk 500 miles
into the highest mountain ranges
its all a lie its not a lie

i could surely make it if i tried if i tried
i could surely fake it till the rivers have run dry 

run dry, run dry, run dry, run dry

i'd rather fall asleep
i'm tired to the bone
a king without a crown
losing his throne

i would like to take some time off
i could walk 500 miles
into the wilderness of your love
its all a lie its not a lie

i could surely make it if i tried if i tried
i could surely fake it till the rivers have run dry 

run dry, run dry, run dry, run dry

Our body’s all around us
something we all share
the fallout on our tissues
as if you were not there
the fallout on our tissues
as if we wouldn't care

dive into 
into the machine
wipe your slate clean
wipe your slate clean

You may have heard of
widespread rumours
buzzing in the streets
citing all the loners
rapping through the heat
citing all the loners
rapping through the heat

dive into 
into the machine
wipe your slate clean
wipe your slate clean

Wipe Your Slate Clean

In case you nodded off listening to our last song, here's something faster:

Your Master's Feast

every dog has his day
and this is yours
every dog gets a free bite
on all fours

every dog has his day
and this is yours
every dog gets a free bite
when he scores 

like it was before

this is
your master’s feast
crushing your bones
and teeth

like it was before

and i feel if i start over 
its just another stupid glitch
racing up another mountain
chopping away like a son of a bitch 

this is your master’s feast
every dog gets a free bite when he scores 
crushing your bones and teeth
every dog gets a free bite on all fours
this is your master’s feast
every dog has his day and here is yours
crushing your bones and teeth
every dog gets a free bite you get yours 

like it was before

and i feel if i start over 
I run u the score the size of a hill
if you don’t mind this kind of tension
if you don’t mind to pay the bill

this is
your master’s feast
crushing your bones
and teeth

like it was before


Your Master's Feast

The Waiting Song

i can’t wait for …
i can’t wait for you
i can’t wait for …
i can’t wait for you

i can’t wait to cover
my eyes
at the mere sight
of you

i can’t wait for …
i can’t wait for you
i can’t wait for …
i can’t wait for you

and i keep on waiting
and i keep on waiting
…

i can’t wait to be
compromised
entangled
in a mesh of lies

i can’t wait for …
i can’t wait for you
i can’t wait for …
i can’t wait for you

and i keep on waiting
and i keep on waiting
…

RAW TORRENT

racing thoughts 
are here again that fast
you cant keep up 
with them
racing thoughts 
are here again so fast
you cant keep up 
with them

like some type of fuel that's burnin’ 
driven by a sense of yearnin’
like some type of fuel that's burnin’
driven by a sense of yearnin’

in a raw torrent
lost in a raw torrent

in a raw torrent
lost in a raw torrent

you are the one who is
staining the carpet
reading the scorch marks
viewing the source code
you are the one who is
staining the carpet
reading the scorch marks
viewing the source code

n a raw torrent
lost in a raw torrent

sweatshop’s opened  again
it shaped you 
like no other thing
the sweatshop’s open again
it shaped you 
like no other thing

like some type of fuel that's burning 
never had this sense of yearning 

and a raw torrent
its a raw torrent

WE GO MENTAL

Looking up at the ceiling

Slowing down or hesitate
There's always a foot standing on the brakes
Pulling to one side or to the other
It's always duck and cover, duck and cover

We go mental

It’s never too late, paying your bills
It's never too late, taking your pills
I don't want my information listed
I don't want a proof that I existed


We Go Mental

Drive

thank you for your patience
this is my last try
to find a passage to your heart
cause i will learn to drive
cause i will learn to drive
to find a passage through the mud
cause i will learn to drive
i will learn to drive 

thank you for your guidance
through the ruins of this live
i’ve fixed all the connections
but the engine is running rough
the engine’s running rough

(ref)
and then i pass out in my seat
slipping falling losing heat
and then i pass out
in my seat
slipping falling losing heat

despite that growing tension
i’ve sorted it all out
i’ll do my best to arrive on time
and i’ll learn to drive
i’ll do my best to arrive on time
and i’ll learn to drive
and i’ll learn to drive

a closer look
how it came about
a closer look
i’ve sorted it out

(ref)
and then i pass out in my seat
slipping falling losing heat
and then i pass out
in my seat
slipping falling losing heat

How to skin a rabbit

always the same procedure
and not a bit too slow
you dont need a teacher
just stick to what you already know

this is how to skin a rabbit
it dont  mean a thing
this is how to build a habit
with your head in a sling
this is how to skin a rabbit
it dont  mean a thing
this is how to build a habit
with your head in a sling

maybe it’s a little tricky
that’s your way to the top
and the view from the bottom
is worth every drop

cutting precisely
there’s more than one way
smells like home cooking
will it make your day

always the same procedure
thats the way to go
you dont need a teacher
just stick to what you already know

maybe it’s a little bit tricky
but that’s your way to the top
and the view from the bottom
is worth every drop

this is how to skin a rabbit
it dont  mean a thing
this is how to build a habit
with your head in a sling
this is how to skin a rabbit
it dont  mean a thing
this is how to build a habit
with your head in a sling

Spell

so fine having your attention
without a heated argument
but when it comes to reasoning
i think you just don’t understand
when it comes to reasoning
i think you just don’t understand
a monkey’s sitting on your shoulder
and he’s not too fond of you
you’re both the same but you look older
and there’s doubt in everything you do
you’re both the same but you look older
and there’s doubt in everything you do
they cast a spell on you before you learned to crawl,
they cast a spell on you before you were born
they cast a spell on you before you learned to crawl,
they cast a spell on you before you were born
the window’s showing your reflection
a shadow’s looming on the wall
there is movement in the room but you don’t notice
the buzzing in the head is your last call
there’s movement in the room but you don’t notice
the buzzing in the head is your last call
they cast a spell on you before you learned to crawl,
they cast a spell on you before you were born
they cast a spell on you before you learned to crawl,
they cast a spell on you before you were born
they cast a spell on you before you learned to crawl,

and thanks for your reply

when we meet eye to eye
i took it all for granted but
now it makes me cry
allow me to pass on quickly
one last question 
one last try

will you take me will you take me
take me for a ride
will you take me will you take me
take me for a ride

i’m scared and i see faces
well nearly everywhere
i'm trembling i feel shaky
and a bit beside myself

so will you take me will you take me
take me for a ride
will you take me will you take me
take me for a ride

in my panic room i'm gonna panic soon
in my panic room i'm gonna panic soon
will i get my credit back 
with a shot in my head
a shot in my head
wil i get my credit back
with a shot in my head
a shot in my head

now that you are with me
now that you are mine
there's only one last question
only one last try
will you take me will you take me

will you take me will you take me
take me for a ride

All To Hell

this place is a mess 
and it’s your home adress
and it’s not gonna work
if you’re acting like some kind of jerk

and you think you can read 
somewhere between the lines
and i reckon your guess
is just as good as mine

send them all to hell now
send them all to hell now
send them all to hell now

this place is a mess 
and it's full of emptiness
and it ain’t gonna work
and you’re acting 
like some kind of jerk

send it all to hell now
send it all to hell now
send them all to hell now

hand over the documents
everybody must leave
its a matter of safekeeping
you don’t need the keys

so you think you’ve passed the test
like almost everyone
but to my utter regret
i know your head is gone

send them all to hell now
send them all to hell now
send them all to hell now

send them all to hell now
send them all to hell now
send them all to hell now

All To Hell

Walker attempted a second flight on August 8, 1955, but an explosion damaged the aircraft just before launch. Walker, unhurt, climbed back into the JTB-29A mothership, and the X-1A was jettisoned over the Edwards AFB bombing range.

DONT KILL THE MESSENGER

i dont mind if you do the talking
i’m not a man of words
but come on let’s do some walking 
and dont fall down the stairs
i searched my pockets to find the token
building on what’s already there
and if it wasnt enough no i’m not joking
it was hidden beneath underwear

dont kill the messenger
dont kill the messenger
dont kill the messenger
dont kill the messenger

what falls apart sure needs some stitching
this cut looks pretty deep
why on earth do i feel so itchy
scratching until it bleeds
the damage done it’s never easy
but now it’s time to lower the shades
and i can’t stop, can’t stop complaining
this should never happen again
and i can’t stop, can’t stop complaining
this should never ever happen again

dont kill the messenger
dont kill the messenger
dont kill the messenger
dont kill the messenger

i dont no why you burst out laughing
i didnt get the joke
maybe i should do the talking
or just go for a walk
this is like a live broadcast
looping till infinity
and i can’t stop, can’t stop complaining
it should never ever happen to me 

dont kill the messenger
dont kill the messenger
dont kill the messenger
dont kill the messenger
  
i dont mind if you do the talking
i’m not a man of words
but come on let’s do some walking 
and dont fall down the stairs
what falls apart sure needs some stitching
this cut looks pretty deep
why on earth do i feel so itchy
scratching until it bleeds
why on earth do i feel so itchy
scratching until it bleeds

dont kill the messenger
dont kill the messenger
dont kill the messenger
dont kill the messenger

SAY-SO

i’m burning then i crumble to dust
i'm volunteering for the national trust
don’t you just sit on the shelf
when your life can be so meaningful to someone  else

don’t  just believe it on my say-so, say-so
don’t  just believe it on my say-so, say-so

dont just believe it on my say-so, say-so
dont just believe it on my say-so, say-so

now is the time to put things into use
now is the time to blow your fuse
safeguarding is the easy way out
it’s much better when the ruins stand proud

dont just believe it on my say-so, say-so
dont just believe it on my say-so, say-so

how many points to get a d-grade
this is the highest level reached today
how many points to get a d-grade 
this is the highest level reached today
           
your opinion matters 
now thank you so much
we'll see you later for the finishing touch

Everything You Said

everything you said
is stuck inside my head
i thought i started to forget
but it’s stuck inside my head

stuck inside my head
stuck inside my head
i’m stuck inside my head
stuck inside my head

well i wrote you a letter
to change the worse to the better
’cause everything you said
is stuck inside my head

i aint got a clue
when i think about you
the harder i try
the less i get through
and i aint got a clue
i aint got a clue

well i wrote you a letter
to change the worse to the better
because everything you said
is stuck inside my head
’cause everything you said
is stuck inside my head
stuck inside my head
stuck inside my head
i’m stuck inside my head

Everything You Said

Yeah, it will be okay
And everything’s all right
And all the lights will shine
And everything is mine and I will

Beg, borrow and steal
Beg, borrow and steal

And you twist and turn
And you cry and mourn
And the sky is high
And you're asking why you have to 

Beg, borrow and steal
Beg, borrow and steal

You tried to wake the dead
But you can’t get ahead
And your will of steel
Won’t fix another deal

You have to beg, borrow and steal
Beg, borrow and steal
Beg, borrow and steal
Beg, borrow and steal

Digging

I was climbing up the walls cause nothing would happen
I brought my thoughts to a halt, just to forget it

I was digging up the ground
Nothing could be found 
Digging up the ground
Nothing could be found
Digging up the ground
There's nothing to be found
Digging up the ground
Nothing could be found

All the obstacles and twists, that come your way
Are still the same the next day

I was digging up the ground
Nothing could be found 
Digging up the ground
Nothing to be be found
I was digging up the ground
There's nothing to be found
Digging up the ground
There's nothing to be found
Digging up the ground
There's nothing to be found
Digging up the ground
There's nothing to be found
Digging up the ground
Nothing to be found

Digging

too hard to handle

your father is a traitor
your mother is a jerk
your brothers are predators
and your sister is at work
why dont go play in traffic
get hit by a parked car
you’re doing it on purpose
it’s what you really are

it’s too hard to handle
(repeat)
too hard to handle

as if it has been ordered
this ship is going down
last messages recorded
all passengers are drowned
your face so pretty to me
your limbs so fine and neat
all for the memories
left between the sheets

it’s too hard to handle
(repeat)
too hard to handle

now watch me 
as we hit the ground

it’s too hard to handle
(repeat till end)
aha

Too Hard To Handle

Sucker (For Your Consolation) 

i’m not here to mess with you 
this is not my task 
if i could follow into the ocean 
what more could i ask for 

cause 
i’m a sucker for your consolation 
i never let it pass 
riding high on anticipation 
this day could be our last 
i’m a sucker for your consolation 
i never let it pass 
riding high on anticipation 
this day could be our last 

so here it comes 
here it comes 
here it comes 
here it comes 

the time is right but i cant walk straight 
i’m just too anxious about being late 
the time is right but i cant walk straight 
i’m just too anxious about being late 

i’m a sucker for your consolation 
i never let it pass 
riding high on anticipation 
this day could be our last 
i’m a sucker for your consolation 
i never let it pass 
riding high on anticipation 
this day could be our last 

so here it comes 
here it comes 
here it comes 
here it comes

Sucker (For Your Consolation)

Let Your Kingdom Come

I thought I'd suffered way too long
And I was sure my time had come
But you came back to watch me burn
Nothing unstirred, no stone unturned

So let your kingdom come
Let your kingdom come
Let your kingdom come
Let it come today
Let it come my way

Now – this is all mine now
Now – this is all mine now
Now – this is all mine now
Now – this is all mine

There are these voices in my head
I should have listened to what they said 
Don’t go further down that road
Listen once, do as you're told

Let your kingdom come
Let your kingdom come
Let your kingdom come
Let it come today
Let it come your way

Now – this is all mine now
Now – this is all mine now
Now – this is all mine now
Now – this is all mine

Let Your Kingdom Come

(Whatever Happened To) Reason

There is blood on my hands
and I can’t tell you why
Was it me who pulled the trigger 
Who’s left to testify
(Repeat)

Whatever happened to reason 
Whatever happened to reason
It’s time to say goodbye 

Did my eyes get wet
I came to pacify 
Trouble is my teacher 
It won’t pass me by
Trouble is my preacher 
It won’t pass you by

(Refrain)

(Whatever Happened To) Reason

Nothing’s gonna stop her

there once was a time 
that I didn’t regret
though it was so hard
getting out of bed
and every time
she walked out the door
you’re battered and bruised
and a bit sore

nothing’s gonna stop her

the finals are coming 
coated in sweat
now on all fours
that‘s what she said
you’ve got a head-start
but don‘t you look back
she‘s got it on tape
now you can drop dead

nothing’s gonna stop her

and once in a while
she’s faking a smile
once in a while
she’s making me smile

nothing’s gonna stop her

Nothing's Gonna Stop Her

False Start

it might be now or never
it might not even start
all the days have sort of merged
passing by in a blur
you can’t tell them apart
tell them apart

everything lies where it fell
here in your own little private hell
where it all comes apart
like a false start

was it mid-december
I can’t really tell
all the months have sort of merged
passing by in a blur
you can’t tell them apart
tell them apart

everything lies where it fell
here in my own little private hell
where it all comes apart
like a false start

False Start
