Intoxicated 03:07
lyrics
You are my main obsession You keep me stimulated You ease the monotony of same thing day in day out every day I'll help you through your lessons You help me reach perfection We'll watch the days turn grey then turn to night and go away again Standing in your shadow This time you might see me You've already proved to me That you don't really need me But I'll follow in your footsteps Ensure your safety I hope you never have to But someday you might thank me Excuse me while I lose my mind Feeling so frustrated I know it's wrong but it feels so right So intoxicated

Road Rat 02:33
lyrics
I can't remember any of those words I said that made you love me so I don't know And if I did then I would say them all again so I could let you know I love you so Things have rapidly gone downhill since we determined that this was love Well if it's true love baby, you're inclined to drive me crazy You've got commitment problems too, it's true and you should know that You're always on the go you little ho, you restless road rat You're shaking up my world, so why can't you confess That daddy's little girl is only happy when she's undressed Do I still make you sweat? Do I still make you wet? Do you still think of me in the present tense? You always say you'll leave, you're full of idle threats I'd burn your world down in the flick of a cigarette

Viva Los Hollywood 03:17
lyrics
He packed his things in the middle of the night and ran away to live the dream / The big city with seductive neon lights felt less like a calling than a scream / And every paving stone was golden, and everybody was so beautiful / In every doorstep slept a dream that someone left to die outside in the cold / The land where dreams come to die, viva los Hollywood / No rest for the wicked, no sleep for the tired / No time, no patience, nobody gets out alive / But all the paving stones were golden, and everybody was so beautiful / In one doorstep slept a man he leaned in close and this is what he told / He said get out, get out, get out while you can, while you still have time and hope / This city will chew you up and spit you out / No doubt about it, go home / he packed his things in the middle of the night and ran away to live the dream / The big city with seductive neon lights felt less like a calling than a scream / he packed his things in the middle of the night, he kissed his family goodbye / He said everything's gonna be alright, I'm off to Hollywood, I'm going to Hollywood / where every paving stone is golden

Whitehaven Drinking Song 03:06
lyrics
Drink drink, have another round Sip it all down in this dirty little town Chug chug, get a little wasted Wanna see (what?) girls get naked It's 1PM I'm waking up With thoughts of getting totally fucked up Shit shower shave, gotta be that way To impress the babes and I just got paid So I text my mates and say to meet At castle park or lowther street You buy the smokes, I'll bring the drink (and we can party party) So we get a little drunk and we stumble into town And we go into the ship and we all get in a round Soco, JD, add a dash of coke Then it's back outside so that we can have a smoke Stumble to the Tuns, you can't hear for the music You're asking for a light and there's someone shouting 'prove it' Forget this man, I'll catch you laters See you in Sennies after a shot in shakers Drop a depth charge into my drink Take it all down in one sweet sip Run to the toilets and throw up in the sink Kicking off the night in the motherfucking ship Get fucked, get wasted, don't stop to taste it Sip it all up, you better not waste it Moving to the Tuns, we're ready to rock We're partying hard and they're in for a shock One shot, two shot, three shot four Let the bodies hit the floor (let the bodies hit the floor) Five shot, six shot, seven shot, eight I can't walk and I can't see straight What the fuck's the name of this place What the fuck happened to all my mates Who the fuck's the bitch with her tits in my face Move it bitch, get out the way Now I'm in sennies, time to get the party bouncing My money's so low I can actually count it Drunk enough to dance with the sweat on my face So shitfaced, I look like a disgrace Grinding with the ladies with a bottle Nate gave me Whiskey in my veins so I feel a bit crazy What's this girl's name, is it emma or kayliegh Two pints of lager and a (ice ice baby) I slide into sennies 'cause I started getting bored Now I got my hand stamped and I'm sticking to the floor Start to feel sickly from sipping on the whiskey I got shot down tonight pretty quickly All my mates passed out in chairs to the side All the pretty girlys, they bump, they grind No fights tonight because we're all alright We'll do the same again tomorrow, take care, goodnight

Angels Dust 04:07
lyrics
She's in love with angels dust, the scent would drive her crazy But this time she's gone too far and now she's suffocating All alone, no angel will save her Or guide her to the light, no-one helps a stranger So break off her wings to keep her feet here on the floor She used to speak with angels, but now they speak no more Seemed so wrong the way that she could live her life so free Now she's down in the dirt. May she rest in peace. All her life she offered everything to us. She faced, we turned away, she turned to angels dust We could blame the way she trusted what she found We are to blame, now she's lying on the ground So break off her wings to keep her feet here on the floor She used to speak with angels, but now they speak no more Seemed so wrong the way that she could live her life so free Now she's down in the dirt. May she rest in peace. She's in love with angels dust, her face all I remember Building castles made of sand, the tide is breaking Now on her own, no angel to save her She is guided to the dark, no-one heard my prayer So break off her wings to keep her feet here on the floor She used to speak with angels, but now they speak no more Seemed so wrong the way that she could live her life so free Now she's down in the dirt. May she rest in peace.

If I Die 03:08
lyrics
Lets get messed up again Who cares about tomorrow We have tonight to ourselves Cans of beer and a handfull of pills I feel the vodka kicking in and now I'm kicking off And lashing out at all around me I feel the meds mess with my head And now I'm messing myself up And it is so much fun The drugs drugs drugs and the booze booze booze And if I die tonight, it's cool 'cause I'm with you I'm so high that I might just die by your side Don't cry for me, better dry those eyes Never say goodbye 'cause we stay so fried Andthe end is nigh as I lose my sight As I lie on the floor and I breathe a sigh Never question why, never need to try To get by, I can feel it all slipping away It's fitting you're the reason why I ever stayed

Song About A Girl I Used To Know 02:31
lyrics
Basing real life upon a beautiful tragedy was never the best of ideas / You know it's hard to dream, I soaked this bed in kerosene, I dedicate this song to you / So please talk to me, I fell so alone / I'd much rather be back at home / Than writing songs about a girl I used to know / But if I had a tattoo for every girl I ever loved / The ink on my arms would weigh me down to the floor / Wishing upon aeroplanes, wishing that I had the fame / So I could live the dream, would you stay at home and wait for me? / And it ain’t hard to dream, this rock star life ain’t what it seems / I dedicate these songs to you / And now I'm viewing sunrise from the wrong side of the night / And once you've lost it all you're free to do just what you like / The irony is not lost upon this new wave romantic / Let it go, if it returns then it's meant to be
8.
The Last Dance 03:03
lyrics
Numb to the world let me scream to be heard as I inhale the dust from the rubble around of me, Dirt and the grime show me no sign of life, and I dreamed last night there was someone who found me. The world came falling down, the sky turned a reddish brown, blood ran through the sea, taking this all from me. Her voice it calls to me in my waking dreams. Please do one thing and save the last dance for me. Save the last dance for me, make my whole world go away
9.
Ashes 03:32
lyrics
I dreamed of a photo and in it we're perfect / As I awoke I found it burned / And now I let it go, And now I let it go / 'Cause all that's left are ashes / All that's left are ashes / So tell me all your pretty lies / I'm sick of falling all the time / And now I let it go / And now I let it go / Cause all that's left are ashes / All that's left are ashes / Every night and every day it's been the same old *** / You call me scum you call me dumb, called me an idiot / And with that being the case / I throw these ashes in your face

Taking You To Your Grave 03:47
lyrics
Yo, got your boys on the track One time, Nate Monoxide, Strange Kick it Rising up from underground Execution methods within sound Rising from beyond the grave You tied me down, I broke your chains I'm restless, I'm getting stressed with this Cause I'm the sickest motherfucker in the music business And I got the kinda lyrics that can match my ego See me beat folk and never fold, I'm like a hero Treat me like a zero and say the reason is I never made a buzz big enough to impress the biz I be the shiz, I got the big hits Call me spitfire when the flame burns from my lips Haunted and deranged Bound and enslaved Taking you to your grave Haunted and deranged I've been taken for granted to the point that I can't stand it I demanded more to life than this And I wasn't really happy before I caught on So there's no truth in ignorance being bliss I've been pissed off more times than I can count But it fuels the venom that comes from my mouth This is how we kick it, hella wicked when we spit Suck a dick if you're a dude that acts like a bitch I'm not sexist, I'm sexy, I'm pissed 'cause you vexed me You tested my last nerve, now I want vengeance My sentences are generally ahead of this Eliminate, exterminate, and hold no prejudice Get rid of it, 'cause if you wanna start beef I'll take you to your grave like abattoir meat I can guarantee I will never see defeat And you'll rest in peace only two feet deep I'll only fight for things I love and I believe in Against things I detest, and fight for my dreams And if you fall into the category of people who wanna battle me I'll turn your fucking world into a beautiful tragedy Kill, fuck, murder, die Holding the blade up close against your eye If you take a look in mine you might see the reason why I'm singing violent nursery rhymes Nate Monoxide on a track with strange Insane in the brain and slightly deranged Who needs fame you've got cocaine And you've got no standards, and got no shame Never gonna die 'cause I refuse To put up with your views and your vile abuse Piss on your bonfire and bust your bubble Cause all that you've done is gonna come back double

Time To Time 02:54
lyrics
Why is every song a love song, do you really want to know / Have you ever loved and lost, the hardest part is letting go / Have you ever tried so hard to forget that you forgot it all / And wished you could remember and you hadn't let it go / Let it all go, just let go / Have you ever cried yourself to sleep, 'cause I know I have / Have you ever *** up so bad that you'd kill to take it back / Have you ever wondered why it feels like it's only you / Standing against the world, I feel that way sometimes to / You don't (you don't) seem to (seem to) / Trust me when I tell you / I feel (I feel) just like (just like) / You feel from time to time / Say it hurts, say it's hard, say it's left you feeling scarred / Have you ever stopped to think you've done this to yourself / Say you can't carry on, say it's over, say you're done / Have you ever told someone that you could use their help

Of Desire & Betrayal 02:16
lyrics
I'm a willing recipient for your warm embrace And when I'm alone I can envision your face And calling you pretty is like calling the mona lisa a painting It's true to some degree but still feels like a major understatement Finally, I can relate to obsession again This is desire inspiring men to pick up a pen And attempt a lasting impression, an invitation to failure But the process is unique and it's something that I'll savour Making words work in my favour was a matter of attitude I've never been previously coherent with words of this magnitude It could be the alignment of the earth and the moon But I feel the most beautiful sunset pales in comparison to you I feel inspired with this desire It's my admission of guilt, why would I be a liar When I can feel forces like hydraulics in forklifts Of the difference between horsepower and horses Inspired by four horsemen When lady death is around the corner I could never ignore her Time can dictate the difference between desire and torture It's true that mistakes can come back to haunt you Remembering times that she argued and fought with you Single situations seem to shine at inconvenience She seemed so surprised that single time you were disobedient Reacting lenient, it was purely out of awe Since then the cycle stopped and now she's seeing you no more The heart screams and begs with the mind crying 'please avenge me' The mind whispers back 'give it some time, please don't tempt me' It seems unfriendly the reaction to betrayal She said that you were the one and made it feel so real You're appalled and try to appeal to her sense of common sense She seems to react to every single point in self defence So now you've got all these years that you regret You wish you could forget and take back everything that you said You're upset, that's understandable The girl's let you down, and you're proud That's why you turn your head when you see her round the town She moves on, and you feel justified in running your mouth Saying if you see her new guy you'll knock him out But the words are loud, the truth lies dormant You've still got feelings for this girl, don't ignore it Every promise that you made on your end should stay upheld So that you can have a decent level of respect for yourself And learn to move on, just let it go Never forgive, never forget, never again.
