Keep It To Yourself

I think I found the line that’s drawn
It’s faded, misconstrued
Never know which side I’m on
Or who to give gratitude
Standard conversations
Turn into accusations
Opinions suck
When they are just forced statements
You've got an asshole
I've got one too
I'll keep mine covered
I hope you
Do me a tiny favour
Of wiping up the shit (Wipe up the shit)
Thats pouring from your mouth
We're getting fucking sick of it
I'll change the station
You'll try to change the nation
With every word worse than the first
I'm starting to lose patience
Give me strength from your weakness
Gauze my soul, remove the leeches
I wrestle demons that you sleep with
Can't change the world with narcissism
For once shut up and listen
You could be yelling from a prison
Your good name dragged through the dirt (Dragged through the dirt)
And all that you got was this lousy shirt
Keep spitting garbage rhetoric
I’m not listening
I'll have none of it

Disposability

Save me from myself
Staring in the mirror
Seeing a predator
Staring back at me
Is testosterone the end of me?
Die for the greater good
That's what we keep preaching
Look for a place to be a martyr
This productive modern world.
Disposability
But it is your will
That's what i keep hearing
Look for a place to be a martyr
This productive modern world.
Burn it all
We deserve more
It was not meant for us to eat
Whats left of our master's third course.
(Dispose)
Burn it all
We deserve more
It was not meant for us to eat
Whats left of our master's third course
Burn it all down
Equality and salvation for all
That sounds a lot like being in charge.

Wasted youth
Fall in line
Racist puke
Fall in line
I’m an adult
Make up my own
Mind the step
Fall in line
Cut your hair
Fall in line
I’m an adult
dont control my life
Can’t you see, you hold a purpose
A purpose to be
One, one of us, one of many
Protecting your wealth protecting your family
Losing your health losing your sanity
Don’t think about it too much
Use alcohol as a crutch.
Where’s the door
Fall in line
Show me the law
Fall in line
I won’t live to learn to turn back
Time you left
Fall in line
I tried my best
Fall in line
I’m full of shame
I won’t live to learn to walk the line
And so i'm left (Piss head) with a problem that I cannot resolve
Recruit my soul for the aftermath of that inevitable hole
Fuck god i wish i was higher, I wish that i could be such a messiah
Someone that could save me (Save me)
That could save us (Save us), we'd do what we're told

Gotta Light?
03:40
|

Sometimes i feel like my lungs are exploding
Breath full of napalm
Burnt stains on my clothing
And i feel like my body is closing
Down on itself
Abandoning loathing
I hear “the way you live, you’ll leave no life for your kids”
Empty cots make empty slots
Premature or even sids
I say I’ll walk away
Go to bed and wake up
With a mouth like an ashtray
I don't wanna go
No one's forcing you to
I don't have a choice
Or a voice, it’s when it suits you
I guess I'll have just one
Gotta light for this?
No one's judging you
Peer pressure is bliss
The same people say, you’ll die this way
Blowing your pay cheque on the suicide train
The tickets are cheap
With unlimited seats
All aboard, for lung disease
Im well aware of the chip on my shoulder
But the heat from this cigarette is making me colder
New year’s resolutions, teenage revolution
I don't see myself getting too much older
No Control

You want your Centrefold?
I gotta job to give to you
You want your Centrelink
I've got no jobs to give to you
You want an income
I've got some bad news for you
You’ve got an idea?
I've got your brain to morph with views
Views of corruption
Views of deceit
Keep dancing along
To this mute beat

Stains of the weak leaking from open wounds
Callous forming on the crust of the puss
The stench hits the vents and it swims through your room
Filling the pores of your rotting lungs
There's not enough cash in one man's pocket
To feed the starving in need
He will write it on his paper without blinking an eye
Man manifested
The true meaning of greed
Wretched is the stench
That pours from the sun
Burning your eyes without heat
You're careless emotions
Controlled by the fear
The very fear that you read and post and think
Don’t believe
For the first time
I can't swallow my hate
Forever pent but finally sold
In my own time
I have made up my own mind
To question all that I'm told
There’s a problem with controlling the masses
Donations funding the fear
Controlling hate controlling love, controlling, controlling
Everything that you read and hear

Catching Up
03:19

I was put upon this earth to
Act as if i'm not taking up the space
For someone with more claritous intent
A brain that's less without contempt
For those who only want the best,
Maximum income impressed
A man who never fights or throws it down,
Ass kicked through, laying on the ground
Atands for nothing and takes cover,
It catches up with you brother.
You pretend that the nation is a mess
To actualize self appointed elite-ness
I'm not inducted to the hall of the best
Or well dressed, humanist denialist.
You never say anything off colour,
It gains you what respect with whom i wonder?
A weak friend and as time amends
It catches up with you brother.
You've no-one
The exited mind discovered,
Brainless attitude uncovered,
Doubtful your chance to recover,
Manless facade with no honour,
The space between your hollow bone structure.
Where what’s left is hidden under.
Sounds ominous like thunder.
does it bother you?
does it cover you?
does it smother you?
to know i see right through you,
the lack of what defines you,
it's inside you.
