'...sometimes, I cry for no reason at all'

Lyrics

Life is pain
So inhale the numbness
Exhale, revel in dumbness
Choices choices
Cooperate obliterate
Alone, as one
Together we suffer
We’ll never be more than a number
You’ll break
Hide away, medicate

Doctor please, I don’t want, to be
Like this or like that but like them
Cos sometimes
I cry for no reason, at all

It’s our own fault
This life’s what you’re living

Count to ten, back from ten
Breathe in out, in and out
Walls of shrinks closing in
Therapist, I have sinned

Open wide
Effects aside
Don’t you long to feel like
Everyone else, it’s all the rage, swallow the hype
Change my mind
By design
Fold and bend
So I can
Fit the roles I’m not supposed to

Everybody’s screaming
There’s gotta be meaning
With all of these opinions I’m crawling on the ceiling
Scrolling is my heroin
Comparing’s how I better me
Constant self belittling
What is that you think of me

HEY! You’re not that bad a guy

Fuck me harder
I thought you knew that I am capable, more than capable of murdering
I am a monster
You’re fresh blood to me. 
Don’t struggle and let me peel you off, show you, you bask in sin

Come in, sit on the couch
And tell me
When did this start

I know
Everyone’s crazier than me
If only
They would believe

Lock and load, here we go
Used to be need to know but
I’m not well, I need help
Life is hell, life is hell

Open wide
Forced inside
Don’t you long to feel like
Everyone else, it’s all the rage, swallow the hype
Erase my mind
No rewind
Fold and bend
So I can fit this
Grave of your design

BROWN boy

'Nobody's the colour they want'

Lyrics

Tongue’s are bombs, words are nuclearised
Cultural prose stand like soldiers in lines
Whilst your children they kill themselves, yeah
I don’t know if these walls, will not crumble

But we don’t need
To break the skin
Words are violence
When I
Scream through you

I’m a half at least a white boy, black boy
But you’ll never be the same as them boy, you clone boy
Sticks and stones familiar tricks boy, so don’t miss boy
Don’t talk about your love for dick boy, sick boy
It’s us versus them boy, you hear boy
There’s nobody gonna shed a tear for you, brown boy, when you die boy

Rainbows choke my output
Oppressed, opressor, tyrant
MAN I’m all that you need

List the parts that I’m allowed to love
What is it of me you see when the lights are off
Quick to Hush my mouth when I, open up
Is it me or just the skin, you love

Nobody’s the colour they want
Nobody’s the colour they want
Nobody’s the colour they want
Nobody’s the colour they want

Dark grass can’t grow
His mouth’s shut, why’s his mouth shut
When we’re starved of light
Her mouth’s shut, why’s her mouth shut
So don’t wait too long
Your mouth’s shut, why’s your mouth shut
Rise above the divide
Take. Sides.

If ‘we’ win
We all LOSE

You no clean

'Make it stop'

Lyrics

I can't control myself
Don't give me a reason to break your neck
Please talk me out of this
Why does my reflection make me
Sick, twist, contort

Have I been here before
This hell I do adore
Control yourself
This is dangerous
To confide in us
(Come lose your God and spit on angels)

And choose ourselves
In this severance
From all we love

(Please God)
Make it stop
(Won't you)
Cure this itch
Cos I am done
With all of it

(Must get clean, must get clean)

I have seen the end
The rapture is yours for a minor price
What would you let me do?
Cos I want to shine, parts of you

Cos you're like a silver medal
Never first but second level
Pressure's real can never settle
Please say it's not forever, say it's not forever, say it's not

Have I been here before
This hell I do adore
Control yourself
This is dangerous
To confide in us
(Come lose your God and spit on angels)
And choose yourself
In this severance
From all you love

I can't release myself
Why don't you come see
What you're made of

(I won't die)

I know what's right
Must be the last man standing
All costs
I know what's right
Must be the last man standing
All costs, don't stop

I've been here, before
This hell, is mine alone

Need, re-lease
Just, a squeeze
I want to reach inside of you
And make you sleep

You liar

Embargo

'You're fair game to us'

Lyrics

Extra extra extra
Read all about it
News of the world
Don’t try to fight it
Open mouth expression
You’re all invited

The ink is on the roller
Time to expose em
Bursting at the borders
No land to hold em
Cause enough to bomb em
Shoved to the bottom
Good enough to rob em
Can’t live without em #

See it, hear it, write it,
No need to verify
Man, woman or child
Fair game to vilify
Public need to know but
The truth we never show
Lie it, print it, sell it
You hear em screaming for

MORE! MORE!
WE WANT, MORE!
PUSH EM OUT, THE DOOR!
WE WANT MORE!

You’re fair game to us
No line we will not cross

Indoor Falconry

'I can't keep screaming, all I leave belongs to you'

Lyrics

This leather won’t hold me up for much longer
I can’t hear someone say it gets better tomorrow
I need it now, damn it, listen
Please keep your mouth shut
Don’t dare say, (you’ve so much to give)

What can I say to make you feel better?
All that I ask’s we get, through, the night
I won’t sleep, so that, you’ll always be

But it’s moving too fast, let me off, let me off
It’s moving too fast, let me off

Life no seasoning
Heart beat but no meaning
All I need’d be gone
With you

Don’t delay
Your life’s at stake

Stop it

Is this what you wanted
All the life that you squandered
You get what is deserved
Am I not what you wanted now!?

We’re what makes us sick

Can, you feel it,
A snap, bang or crack and it’s gone
I can’t keep screaming
All I leave belongs
To you

ATTACK
BUT WE WON’T LET YOU DIE
