That's some empty rhetoric, you hypocrite
Words are sold
That's some real pretty aesthetic
But it don't mean shit
You assert yourself like you feel it
But you got no nerve
You got nothing to say
but you want thanks anyway?
You can fuck off.

Doesn't Matter

Adios, don't phone home
Think I'm gonna stay here
Where it's comfortable
And everybody claps for me

I'm important, I like toast and I drink water
I think big things, like I like things and I hate things
Mentally sound, rounded and dreadfully boring
I'm important, I like toast and I drink water

Doesn't matter

Adios, don't phone home
Think I'm gonna stay here
Where it's comfortable
And everybody claps for me

(Oh you're in for it now)

My money's cold
I take my steak
I stand in the middle of the road
With no care
I take Prozac and wreck it
My soul's just a wreckage
So I wriggle around to forget it

My night was spent sewing little dolls
In the morning, pinned up against the wall
I scream 
SHUT THE FUCK UP
You don't know what you're in for
While I'm raking the paint from your door.

(So what do you think about that?)

Doesn't matter.

MATTER

So call your master
There's been a disaster
Seems nobody can catch ya
You mollycoddled hatred - fueled desire
Made it grow much faster
And with a glare that turns the bone to stone
Rigid words make for a frigid mind
But that's fine
And just the way that we like

Packed bricks full of shit
thrown at an electorate
stuck to the innards of dullards
so thick
throat too full to splutter
choking on thick bullshit

AINT IT LOVELY?

Don't whine
Head down and toe the line
Delicate little flower
powerless in the fray
it will never be your day

Where rain falls, is where we carry on the bloodline
We got our own backs, while they live on the fault line
Our palace is large and our words make them toe the line
We got our own backs while they live on the fault line

They all like to say that we're cruel
But we're endless like the sun
We make the rules
Get a brick of cocaine and let that thing let you know
Make you a fearless leader like so
And I would never sick it up and give back
Relax while I check my syntax
And my words attach to fanatic's synapses
And we hold them in paralysis

Cuz I just want to play god, won't you let me?

Where rain falls, is where we carry on the bloodline
We got our own backs, while they live on the fault line
Our palace is large and our words make them toe the line
We got our own backs, while they live on the fault line

LINE

Looking for the words
Do you know
What it is to be wonderful
The fire hates us
But I lay
If I'm to waste it all
then I breathe
I breathe
I breathe
No more.

And when it speaks
we fall silent
It's truly
It's truly
Untouchable
But it's fine, and it's rife
But we're caught in the rain
Caught in the rain

Put it in the bag, get a move on
Stop getting lost in your head and get a groove on
We were making progress but now it seems we've gone and lost it
Caustic thoughts are wasteful and uncosted
Toxic, don't want to breathe it in
Sticks to the skin the rage is seething
Ten tonne weight on a pin
How's that for pressure
We always lose when the anger's unfettered
Breathe in

I'm at the base of a mountain
I drink the liquid from the fountain
All the webs we weave will fade away
Clearing room for yet another grave
But we're better without this
Better off in a minefield
We're better without this
Better off in a minefield.

RAIN

Feel the void
I try to
Dip a toe
Into it

It's part of ills
Higher higher
Tempting of the wrist
Fire fire

FIRE

Patience is 
A virtue
Heretic
You're a heretic
Just like me

In the face of all the major
I waste little sun
Cause endless rain
Endless rain

I have to go to bed
I'm feeling
Sick of all of it
I despise
This heavy head I wear
Ready or not, it's here

It isn't time.
It isn't time.

Try to block it out but it's on my mind
Can't collect these thoughts
It's a waste of a fight
Of a fight

Break the cycle
Break your spirit
Break your neck

I'll be ready
Ready for when it's time.

TIME

Bite tongues, cruel little scumbags, running round with no sense on desperate to lick the very same boot that kicks them in the teeth every time that they awake from their slumber.
So alone, you want to feel it yourself, you wanna know that peace but it's cold and it's the bottle that sings

THE FEAR IS THE ONLY THING THAT I KNOW

Oh yeeeeeeeaaaaaaaah

(I don't wanna fall out, when armaggeddon comes, I'll lay down)

Your ears are plugged, it's true
And you can't stand
I was queasy cuz I didn't know, but I'm better now
And it can't be undone
Like screaming angels from above
Crash down, right into the sun
And the sun goes out

Soon we'll be mourning our own seed
Born of an attitude with the gods beneath our feet
And we can't seem to stop, no it's too late now
Surrender, accept defeat and bow your petty heads down
