Morning always seems too stale to justify Lament blossoms, hours minutes of our lives Broken thoughts run through your empty mind At least a beaten dog knows how to lie I feel like I'm missing pieces of sleep A memory fades to a pale landscape You were an extinction, a desert heat A blind illness of my anxiety Endless hours in bed, no peace in this mind No one knows the hell where innocence dies Fragments crawling like cobwebs on stone Blows away the safety only a sleeping pill knows I feel like I'm missing pieces of sleep A memory fades to a pale landscape You were an extinction, a desert heat A blind illness of my anxiety I feel like I'm missing pieces of sleep A memory fades to a pale landscape You were an extinction, a desert heat A blind illness of my anxiety |

FROM DESPAIR TO WHERE
I write this alone on my bed I've poisoned every room in the house The place is quiet and so alone Pretend there's something worth waiting for There's nothing nice in my head The adult world took it all away Wake up with same spit in my mouth Cannot tell if it is real or not I try and walk in a straight line An imitation of dignity From despair to where Outside open mouthed crowds Pass each other as if they're drugged Down pale corridors of routine Where life falls unatoned The weak kick like straw Till the world means less and less Words are never enough Just cheap tarnished glitter I try and walk in a straight line An imitation of dignity A cripple walks in a straight line An imitation of dignity |

Life has been unfaithful
And it all promised so so much I am a relic I am just a petrified cry Wheeled out once a year, a cenotaph souvenir The applause nails down my silence La tristesse durera Scream to a sigh, to a sigh La tristesse durera Scream to sigh, to a sigh I see liberals I am just a fashion accessory People send postcards And they all hope I'm feeling well I retreat into self-pity, it's so easy Where they patronise my misery La tristesse durera Scream to a sigh, to a sigh La tristesse durera Scream to a sigh, to a sigh La tristesse durera Scream to a sigh, to a sigh La tristesse durera Scream to a sigh, to a sigh I sold my medal It paid a bill It sells at market stalls Parades Milan catwalks The sadness will never go Will never go away Baby it's here to stay La tristesse durera Scream to a sigh, to a sigh |

Your ritual everyday A mild shower soak in aftershave Best clothes do your best Look in the mirror go on Belittle yourself yourself yourself Belittle yourself yourself yourself You go on day after day Dreaming on a lie That you keep locked inside Of yourself Yourself Yourself Of yourself Yourself Yourself Can you sleep tonight Cast aside for some pouting young pup Sink into a slurred veneer Alcoholic haze so now Least you can like yourself yourself Least you can like yourself yourself You go on day after day Reservoirs of guilt That your fixed grin always hides And yourself Yourself Yourself Of yourself Yourself Yourself And yourself Yourself Yourself Of yourself Yourself Yourself You look at ad's all day Everyone is perfect and you're so lame Free scent burns your skin But no smell can really cover sin Too many teenage holes to fill Too many teenage holes to fill You go on day after day Speak to your despised Blanking your loved ones And yourself Yourself Yourself And yourself Yourself Yourself And yourself |

Childbirth tears upon her muscle
Very first second a screaming icon Babies in time barely even recognise Words that once stroked now bruising tired lips My idea of love comes from A childhood glimpse of pornography Though there is no true love Just a finely tuned jealousy Life becoming a landslide Ice freezing nature dead Life becoming a landslide I don't wanna be a man Everyday more numb to agony This the howl this the sigh of the lonely One day I realise oil on canvas Can never paint a petal so so delicate My idea of love comes from A childhood glimpse of pornography Though there is no true love Just a finely tuned jealousy Life becoming a landslide Ice freezing nature dead Life becoming a landslide I don't wanna be a man My idea of love comes from A childhood glimpse of pornography Though there is no true love Just a finely tuned jealousy Life becoming a landslide A mile empty inside Life becoming a landslide Desire on its knees |

Your lack of ego offends male mentality They need your innocence To steal vacant love and to destroy Your beauty and virginity used like toys My mind is dead, everybody loves me Wants a slice of me Hopelessly passive and compatible Need to belong, oh the roads are scary So hold me in your arms I wanna be your only possession Used, used, used by men Used, used, used by men All they leave behind is money Paper made out of broken twisted trees Your pretty face offends Because it's something real that I can't touch Eyes, skin, bone, contour, language as a flower No god reached me, faded films and loving books Black and white TV All the world does not exist for me And if I'm starving, you can feed me lollipops Your diet will crush me My life just an old man's memory Little baby nothing Loveless slavery, lips kissing empty Dress your life in loathing Breaking your mind with Barbie Doll futility Little baby nothing Sexually free, made up to break up Assassinated beauty Moths broken up, quenched at last The vermin allowed a thought to pass them by You are pure, you are snow We are the useless sluts that they mould Rock n' roll is our epiphany Culture, alienation, boredom and despair You are pure, you are snow We are the useless sluts that they mould Rock n' roll is our epiphany Culture, alienation, boredom and despair |

Your dream can never earn enough.
Ultimate nihilistic love. Tennessee nights just zip code love. Always believe the comfort of strangers. Tennessee eyes graffiti once blue. Media sells a trance of hate. Our epitaph reads like your sin. Subvert, destroy, beat dereliction. Tennessee nights just zip code love. Commanche becomes a maggot. Tennessee eyes orange once blue. Media sells a trace of hate. His pain forgets her agony. His heart P.M.R.C. His heart P.M.R.C. The white man is disease. His heart P.M.R.C. Your dream can never earn enough. Ultimate nihilistic love |

Drugs come out of boredom babe U.N. exports it everyday Their armies feed the ghetto lame Government approve it just the same Daylight bores the sunshine out of me I need to feel alone amongst the weeds Daylight bores the sunshine out of me I need to feel, I need to feel, I need to feel, I need to feel We need and we will always need Another invented disease We need and we are taught to need Another invented disease Left alone in corporate slums Where germs are free not Amex fun Healthy bodies in empty minds Only exist in advert time Sunk deep in my TV Maybe sucked the soul from within me We need and we will always need Another invented disease We need and we are taught to need Another invented disease |

Find your faith in your security
All broken up at seventeen Jam your brain with broken heroes Love your masks and adore your failure We're a mess of eyeliner and spray paint D.I.Y. destruction on chanel chic Deny your culture of consumption This is a culture of destruction Don't wanna see your face Don't wanna hear your words Why don't you just Don't wanna see your face Don't wanna hear your words Why don't you just Babes on the run with poisoned lips Wrap your arms 'round this everlasting kiss Clinging to your own sense of waste All we love is lonely wreckage Your school your dole and your checkbook dreams Your clothes your suits and your pension schemes Now you say you know how we feel But don't fall in love 'cos we hate you still Don't wanna see your face Don't wanna hear your words Why don't you just Don't wanna see your face Don't wanna hear your words Why don't you just Destroyed by madness Destroyed by madness Destroyed by madness Anxiety is freedom |

Learn to sleep through misery
Never gonna wake feeling free No one fucks as good as Marilyn Plastic surgery sure cures your sins You need a fix I'm your prostitute Repression says depravity's cute I'll feed you lines to make you smile You're so easy to dehumanize It's not that I can't find worth in anything It's just that I can't find worth in enough It's not that I can't find worth in anything In your love Pay for it Pay for it Degrade your senses till you hate me Begging to be cool through nicotine Decadence costs but she must be clean Build up walls so you can't feel When you get high `it's so unreal' Days fade in and I need the night I've seen your dumb face all of my life Eyes close down, I don't wanna see Broken communion of the twentieth century It's not that I can't find worth in anything It's just that I can't find worth in enough It's not that I can't find worth in anything In your love Pay for it Pay for it You're gonna pay for my intelligence Pay for it Pay for it Cos I'm a slut and you just suck Pay for it Pay for it Degrade your senses till you hate me Pay for it Pay for it We promote all sickness and disease You're gonna pay for my intelligence Cos I'm a slut and you just suck You're so dead You're so dead |

Obedience to the law is free desire
Under curfew from neon barbed wire Wasting away this country Wearing like a born dead Free heroin shots for those who never beg Spectators of suicide Exploding in society's eye Democracy is an empty lie Dead like our yesterdays tonight The only free choice is refusal to pay Life reduced to suicidal pain Cigarettes a life-line, it's safety in death Choking on the billboards Advertised and fed Spectators of suicide Exploding in society's eye Democracy is an empty lie Dead like our yesterdays tonight You're gonna shoot us dead with decadence |

Christin me fuhrer nazarine
Believe in tomorrow but not today Give me all your possessions Make poverty your perfect home Allow your leaders to control you Questions are now blasphemy Why walk when you can crawl Stay on your knees and kiss my feet Censorship'll stop your excess though Check your billboard for my tour Listen to Luke sermon six "And if one of the occupation troops Forces you to carry his pack One kilometer carry it two" Be a tourist in the war zone Interrogate scriptures And not your stinking home That diet of bread and water's old Now feed on alcohol drug And do what you're told Now we'll take your number for a name Soak mind control in Christening water out of jail Fall in love, fall in love with me Nail a crucifix onto your soul Fall in love, fall in love with me Nail a crucifix onto your soul Fall in love, fall in love with me Nail a crucifix onto your soul Fall in love, fall in love with me Nail a crucifix onto your soul |

I am nothing and should be everything
You're methadone pretty, surrender in pity Intentional destruction germ Eats your thoughts and makes you happy They wanna piece of your skin Pump it safer than, than a suicide Methadone Pretty Methadone Pretty Heart beats like a refugee machine Pretty hostage mass, licensed to obey Xerox days to acceptance Decline accelerates into prejudice They wanna piece of your skin Pump it safer than, than a suicide Methadone Pretty Methadone Pretty I accuse history, I accuse I accuse history, I accuse I accuse history I accuse history, I accuse I accuse history, I accuse I don't need your history Wreckage inside all that's real Another bought product, no reality Passive consumers with patrolled desires Mindless countdown to retirement They wanna piece of your skin Pump it safer than, than a suicide Gonna stay a terminal young thing An' never gonna be methadone pretty Methadone Pretty Methadone Pretty Methadone |

Always feeling torn and slow
Love song cull destroy poem Misery and trauma making love Best go shoot the fucking doves The past is so beautiful The future like a corpse in snow I think it's all the fucking same It's a life sentence babe A line of vodka tears inside A shot of boredom helps my mind Staring through a thousand dead eyes I guess my nerves are brutalised Lips I kiss just another plague Love can't fix the hole they made Condemned to rock n' Condemned to rock n' roll No innocent exit when hope dies And claustrophobia buys my mind I ran to breathe contagious lies No reasons for just living life Ripcord opens but my soul is cold With you I never felt more alone Skin never sweating dignity Kept my line beneath ecstasy This fragile prison of sanity An ocean wave to death babe Masochistic love going nowhere You're nothing, pestilience, a seed Lips I kiss just another plague Love can't fix the hole they made Condemned to rock n' Oblivions all we know Lips I kiss just another plague Lips I kiss just another plague Love can't fix the hole they made Sterile like a line of piss, motherfucker Review with avant garde lips, you're just a motherfucker There's nothing I wanna see There's nowhere I wanna go |
