While I have your attention
Can I ask you to submit
To an informal debate
About whether you think.
Just that, do you think?
We don’t believe you do
Soon enough it’ll catch up
If you can’t
Just bring yourself to try
The mountain started as a mole hill
It gets steeper every day
Don't get put off by the path
I know the time is right
I know you’re still quite new to the logic
I know you won’t believe
All you have to do is open your eyes
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
So we find out
We’re back to square one
Did you not listen to a word I said
Quite frankly if you just ignore
The warnings we gave you
Then you get what you deserve
We’ve been over this a hundred times
Why can’t you grasp this?
It’s not as if it’s something
That's never been tried before
It should be so easy
You know the time is right
You’re too stubborn to admit defeat
I know I don’t believe in you
My mind is firmly locked and there’s no way in
Pitted greasy skin
A voice that hasn’t broken
The world is against you
You’re the centre of the universe
We know, we were there first
Pull the wool over other eyes

God's Honest Truth
04:34
|
|||
Every time I turn you're standing there
Every time I breathe it's someone else's air
Bite down on your reversible tongue,
It's confusing me, I don't understand
Try to speak in a way in which you can't be heard
Don't give the usual excuse I want the god's honest truth
Were they better than me, were they cheaper than me?
Cut out the August sun I prefer February mist
Make sure you wrap up well
So I can steal a kiss
I told you before you I never got response from you
And when I return you'll burn for what you did
Bite down on your reversible tongue,
It's confusing me, I don't understand
Try to speak in a way in which you can't be heard
Don't give the usual excuse I want the god's honest truth
Were they better than me, were they cheaper than me?
And when will I learn?
So when will I learn?

Tear down the ruins
We don’t need them
Bring chaos to the
Masses revoke their
Daily passes
Teach linguistics
To the mute to
Brighten the outlook
Soak in the ashes
Bathe in the hopes
And dream of the victims
Can’t take them with you
Can’t see the future
Can’t afford to
Take toll on the figures
Work for blisters
Take aim - everything is achievable
Force the hand – everything is deniable
Dig in and remain – nothing is achievable
Hold on – nothing will last forever
At the heights of our glories
We’ll look down on you and your follies
Being righteous is not always right
Begging and pleading will not save your life
And neither will we, neither will we
Bear down on all
Who misjudged you
String them up on
Hooks in the streets
Punishment never
Outweighs the crime
Dry your eyes on
Chloroformed rags
At the heights of our glories
We’ll look down on you and your follies
Being righteous is not always right
Begging and pleading will not save your life
And neither will we, neither will we

Sickness is so tiresome
It drains energy away
I'm sick of listening to complaints
When I have my own to voice
Maxalon relieve the tension of another working day
I can't feel it working as well as it should
Perhaps we're getting used to new ideals
Old chances wrecked for good.
I revived this feeling me and me alone
You can't take the praise if you never set the goal
Maxalon relieve the tension of another working day
I can't feel it working as well as it should
Perhaps we're getting used to new ideals
Old chances wrecked for good.

Ideas Are An Ugly Idea
04:01
|

Maybe there’s way to convey this
Maybe there’s another way to try
Maybe ideas are an ugly idea that should be left to rot
Maybe when straight lines bend
Maybe then life will be full
Maybe if you paint your way out of the corners then it won’t look so dull
It’s simple, work out the competition … before they have time to think
There isn’t another way through this
There isn’t another way out
Ideas don’t improve or diminish no matter how blank the canvas was
* If I didn’t get your attention with the concept
Then I don’t know what else there is to say
But now what if the tides change?
See If they work for us or against?
What if the pre-cursers we saw are not all that they’re cracked up to be?
Maybe it’s time that we took stock
Maybe we should count all the dead
Maybe it’s time to put down all the weapons and just start to live
* If I didn’t get your attention with the concept
Then really, I don’t know what else I can do

Vacancy
04:53

I start off with nothing
Now nothing is all I have
Time has left us with nothing but empty promises
As far as I can gather.
Leave all your belongings here
They will be alright
I just can't believe that you could have been so right.
You and whose army you can't leave me here
Who'll do everything you don't want to do?
Leave, go on, leave it all behind
Don't leave anything, nothing left to remind
You and whose army you can't leave me here
Who'll do everything you don't want to do?
Can't you see, you're everything to me
Can't you help at all, does it surpass you?
Spend some time when people ask
You'll be glad you did in the long run
You and whose army you can't leave me here
Who'll do everything you don't want to do?
You and whose army you can't leave me here
Come on, lets leave it all behind..

Gravity
And all the chaos that comes in between
Can't speak of anything else and everything
Including things
That we are never provoking
And all that hinges can't see that we are broken
Spies, they were all spies!
All at once the bricks fall down
Nothing at all
To repair and contain
This damage is done,
The limbs won't work, We can rebuild, refute the claims!
Depravity
All the sodomising in between
To induce pain, fixing the games
Reduce me again,
Use those godless eyes
Hide them away with powders that aid decay
Spies, they were all spies!
All at once the bricks fall down
Nothing at all
To repair and contain
This damage is done,
The limbs won't work, We can rebuild, refute the claims!

As candles burn the wax away
Hair on my neck reaches attention
Point at the kid with the bruised eyes
You know that he regrets what he said
GO!
Can you read what the slogan states?
What we require is to go slow
Can you read what my mind hates
Six twelve fourteen go
Back to back, at arms length
Stretched the creases from my skin
Hold me back now reveal your secrets
The darker the colour the more intense the rush
GO!
Can you read what the slogan states?
What we require is to go slow
Can you read what my mind hates
Six twelve fourteen go
GO!
Can you read what the slogan states?
What we require is to go slow
Can you read what my mind hates
Six twelve fourteen go

Bind our arms at the wrists
Then tie them behind our backs
Under the cover of night
Tell the crowds to spread the word
Migrate, fly away with the flock
Give them the key to the starting pistol
And leave me behind like some twisted resistor
Counting the pebbles and what they’re worth
Don’t tempt me to look, I don’t think I could
I hope you know, It’s my world that you shook
Even after digging in your heels I couldn’t go
Self destruction is easy when you’ve nothing to lose
You meant the world to me and I asked for naught
But I took the blame and I faced the court
You watched as my blood it boiled
And all I’m left with is my parchment and pen
Well guess what, I’m writing this all down
Nothing stays secret in this shitty town
Maybe next time I’ll remember to write
Maybe next time it will remind me to fight

Foundations
04:33

I cannot read these vertical lines
They make no sense to me
If you say them out aloud you'll challenge the air that I breath
Emotions run high another heavy day
I hate myself more for the pain
These last few minutes could never be ours again
Sharper edges mustn't blur
All around must stay focussed
Why can't I get my head straight
I don't want to choke
I cannot see horizontal lines
You blinded me years ago
Camoflage was decreased and now we cease
It's best to say no
Amusing myself in a wasted youth corpse host
I'm empty silent and still
I've said it before I'll say it again
I can slip from my window sill
Sharper edges mustn't blur
All around must stay focussed
Why can't I get my head straight
I don't want to choke
Sharper edges mustn't blur
All around must stay focussed
Why can't I get my head straight
