No More Heroes

Nobody will save you this time
you can scream all that you want to
I've got this villain thing refined
You're in my clutches and I've got you
You really thought you'd save the day
You'd put an end to my crimes
But this time you won't get away
This isn't like the last time
Heard it on the radio
Where did all the down boys go
Calling out, but we all know there's
No more heroes
Where they've gone we'll never know
Swooping in look out below
Super villains take control, there's
No more heroes
This time the bad guy gets the girl
this time nobody saves the world
it's countdown time for planet earth
You're going to get what you deserve
It's almost over clock is ticking
I know what everyone's thinking
Will the villain go down swinging
why on earth's this monster singing?

Lemonade
03:20

|

I still remember you were leaving through the window
At the break of dawn while everybody was asleep
The highs were high enough like we had never been low
But everybody's older now and married or has kids
Do you remember when we first met on the square we
Tried to start a band and even played a couple gigs
You were on the guitar and I tried my hand at drumming
Covering Nirvana, pantera and blink
I found a picture of us from two thousand and four
Outside of the civic we were waiting for a show
Back before I shaved my head and listened to pop punk more
Back before you ran away and never came back home
When did we all grow out of our fun phase?
Pissed up in castle park those were some good days
I'd be drunk by five, and you'd be drunk on wine
Vodka straight 'cause we forgot lemonade
We don't talk any more
Why would we, do that

In The Wrong
03:45
|
|
||
I was propping up the bar when you said you wanted to leave
Said that is fine and I would make my way back home
Said you couldn't exit cause you couldn't find a taxi
I said it didn't matter 'cause I didn't wanna go
Maybe I was in the wrong, and
You were in the right but
Maybe dial it back some
I turned round and
You walked away
Well you're screaming like a banshee but it doesn't change a god-damn thing
I did what I did I didn't really take a second to think
You can leave if you like, if I'm ruining your life
You can pack up all your things, you can go and take a hike
Or you should maybe take a second and a deep breath and stop being a bitch
(I was) saving for a present for my mother for her birthday
Had a hundred quid that I had gone and put aside
You had made some plans that we would go out for a meal and
Hadn't clued me in so yet again we did collide
Maybe I was in the wrong, but
You weren't in the right so
Maybe dial it back some
You turned round and
I walked away
(I was) standing in the hallway you were walking out the front door
Yelling loud enough to make the neighbours stop and stare
Said I was a moron and you didn't love me anymore
Said that it was over and that we were beyond repair
Maybe I was in the wrong, but
You weren't in the right so
Maybe dial it back some
I turned round and
You walked away

Hellion
04:17

|

Your girl's an outright hellion
Can't settle down
Each day's a brand-new rebellion
New drama queen crowned
When she wants something she'll kick and scream
Until she's satisfied
She thinks happiness just lives in dreams
And she might just be right
She's decided she's unhappy
And nothing's ever enough
Like a sniper when she's locked on
Know she won't be rebuffed
(And when she) speaks your name, it is to complain
In a tone which is almost contempt
And she sneaks away, and she plays those games
I've a feeling I might be next
She's been texting me saying she's horny
While she's been sat right by your side
I'd be telling lies if I said I was sorry
She might get lucky tonight
She said it's over and you're done
It wasn't hard to decide
Your girl's an outright hellion
But then again so am I
She says I'm the one she wanted
But since we're two of a kind
I said girl you don't understand
That this was just for tonight
She's been texting me saying she's horny
While she's been sat right by your side
I'd be telling lies if I said I was sorry
She might get lucky tonight
She'll be texting you saying she's sorry,
She wants to be back by your side
If I were you, know I'd never forgive her
I guess it's a matter of pride

Day Is Won
03:09
|
|

He doesn't know much and decided that he doesn't want to
things are how they are so why question the things people choose
It's all on the screen, it's all overblown
No difference between a posh chair and a throne
If you over complicate things, that's when it all gets confused
His son sets away on a boat, it reminds him of when
His friends all left too with the promise they'd return as men
It's part of the cycle, a right to hand down
Rifle in hand and a pocket of rounds
It's happened before, and he knows it will happen again
An ignorant bliss is a thing he can hardly afford
It's the pawns not the politicians who will die by the sword
Isn't it strange, how things never change
Apathy's harmful while hate begets hate
Surviving is not the same thing as returning from war
It's over son, the day is won

Seraphim
05:37
|
|

You found yourself in your lowest place
Bored and lost and lonely
I made my entrance and from the first taste
You felt like you know me
I said all the right words and phrases
To make you feel of value
Flawless lines and calculated gazes
And from that moment I had you
I dug deeper underneath your skin
I became your everything
Play your insides like a violin
I'm the cancer growing deep within you
The parasite that leeches all your strength
I'm inside and I'm hatching
Squeeze your heart and catch your breath
I'm virulent and I'm catching
I'm your seraphim, angel tainting everything
I am right here
I'm your seraphim, hook you in like heroin
I'm your nightmare
I'm your seraphim, I was sent to lure you in
I am right here
I'm your seraphim, swooping in on devil wings
I'm your nightmare
You suspect that something's going wrong
Feels like I'm growing distant
I get bored after pretending so long
This isn't insufficient
Wrote it all off with the ink in my pen
You thought that I was under your command
Twisted hearts can never mend
The only reason being because I can
Played you like the broken fool you are
Left you alone and confused
Even paranoia didn't get you far
I snuffed out the stars for you
So you could never find your way back home
You'll never known love like mine
Perfect words spoke in perfect tones
Were throwing you a lifeline

Tequila Mockingbird
02:33
|
|
||
You are my poison, my toxin of choice
You pick me up when I'm down
Kill me slowly and help me find my voice
Make every measure count
I wanna drown underneath your surface
Your miasmic embrace
Claw at the walls, trying to find purchase
Until the whole world's erased
And if you kill me, I'm taking you with me
You're along for the ride
You're my affliction, my tangled addiction
my lowest low, my highest high
At your insistence, I'll tell you what I heard
I can't resist it (can't resist no)
Love your persistence, tequila mockingbird
This twisted bliss it
(spins me sideways, turns me over)
(upside down I'm always falling down)

Crazy
04:18
|
|
||
Further down the rabbit hole until you see the light
A roller coaster with no harness so best hold on tight
Violent patterns you could never hope to understand
A psychedelic trip, further into wonderland
My mind races, I'm stimulated, hating
the way that it's mistranslated
The signs all designed to reflect decline
Inside and perhaps there's a light to shine
Roaches scatter, and they try to hide
Behind every eye I see a chesire smile
Paranoia or just versatile
Vile or reviling? It's just the style
Nightmares linger, fill waking hours with their words
Spoke with my demons, we agreed that we would come to terms
Silhouettes they dance around with embers in their eyes
I should be screaming, but I am the devil in disguise
Turbulent mind, am I fine if I find
That I'm fiending for fights, it's a feeling I like
When I'm reeling inside, unfeeling and dealing
With demons and keen to be meeting
The fiends that are
leading my feelings
I'm speaking of things concealed and are breeding
Secretly screaming, I'm steeling myself as I lean in
for meaning, revealing the noise in my
dreams as I sleep
We all get a little crazy
We all go a little crazy sometimes
Am I crazy if I'm wanting to fight with God
Am I crazy if I'm wanting to burn down something
Crazy if I'm wanting to fight with God
Am I crazy? Is that crazy?

Build A Bomb Workshop
04:33
|
|
||
Tell me what I can or can't be like you know me
And plot my course as if you were the one who owned me
I'm doomed to fail you say and I'm thinking that if only
That wasn't true I would not be so morosely
Obsessed with trying to change away from the old me
I'm not relatable, in truth it's getting lonely
I'm slowly drifting further away from my home, see
And all my demons here ensure I stay unholy
Call me a martyr, but I'm smarter, I worker harder
Just to push a little farther and to spark a little change
Even though it's getting darker, I'll be ready for departure
And I'm prepared to bombard you just to silence all the hate
I am a pipe-bomb when the mic's on and I'm kicking
My songs, ticking down all the people who've wronged me
Wishing I'm gone, and dismissing so long, but I'm strong
And I'm taking back the narrative you taught me
You fired the first shot
Build a bomb workshop
When I walk into a crowd you should know that I'm the bomb
It's alarming how much harm I'm causing when I set it off
You've got your finger on the pulse, well my finger's on the button
If you push me then I'm pushing it and ending it so sudden
You'd have thought that God himself was the one who cleared the room
What's a tik-tok trend to a big bad boom?
Don't presume you run the world and you'll always play the hero
When I'm counting down the days like a timer hitting zero
Let the first three knows know it's time to hit the lights
Let the first on the scene be scarred for life
Let the first thrown stone be responded to in type
Let the first to buy the hype be buried by the mic
I've been labeled lesser, under pressure by oppressors
But now I'm taking measures and becoming the aggressor
You paint me as a monster long enough that I will be one
And if you poke the monster, that's when you get eaten

Crimescene
04:03
|
|
||
Just like a loaded gun, just like a ticking bomb
Just like a coiled up snake I'm waiting
Just like a criminal, just like a psychopath
Just like a murderer I hate things
These seeds, grow into killing trees
Please be, what I need to release me
Just like the hottest coals, just like an inferno
Just like the fires of hell I'm burning
Just like a flashing light, just like a siren's call
Just like a warning shot disturbing
These deeds, grow into a disease
Please be, what I need to release me
Crime scenes, sneaking into my dreams
Now it happens nightly
Was it me, it might be
I still see the
High vis, jackets reflect light,
things do not feel all right, these
Insides twist too tight and
There's no release
Just like a final breath, just like a curtain call
Just like an exit wound left bleeding
Just like a pounding head, just like a fractured skull
Just like a trepanning or leeching
These things, never could appease me
Please be, what I need to defeat me

Pretty Dumb
04:41
|
|
||
Strike up a conversation
Never drop the part
Face and mind in mediation
Nothing's all you've got
Posture strikes self-assurance,
And you talk the talk
Your whole content is appearance
And it's all for nought
I'm unseemly, so serenely
Sick, unfeeling, numb
You're so pretty, you're so silly
You're so very dumb
The pick of the litter once thought I was bitter
And thought they were better, but I still persist
For all of the hype I survived 'cause I'm fitter
Hit harder and slap you to ignorant bliss
It's not a diss just a twisted insistence
That we shouldn't mix 'cause we can't coexist
Your wretched existence it just evokes pity
Your beauty abhorrent, your substance a cyst
Your condescension rings empty and hollow
Through your gritted teeth
It grows thin and the cracks are showing
I see the scales beneath
When your beauty fades away, and you're
Old and weathered, will you say it was
Worth the waste to peak so young. I'd be
Bleeding from my mouth biting my tongue
|

I Know You
04:13
|
|
||
This time, it's not, the same 'cause I know better
You've been, so lost. So long, and no I never
Fell for, those tears, so false and reptilian
You've missed, those years, since then I shine so brilliant
So say it like you mean it
Really make me believe it
Scream it til you're bleeding
One more time with feeling
Fires burn, and fade, they spiral out of control
Watched this bridge burn, the flames consume it whole and
You'll still, be here, still searching, so regrettable
I'll be, long gone, colour me inaccessible
I know you lie awake in bed,
I know you wonder what went wrong
I know you better than you think
I know you, I know you
I know the doubts inside your mind
I know you shove aside the pain
I know you cast it all aside
I know you'd do it all again

Lady Twilight
04:05
|
|

One way ticket on the last train out
She doesn't care where it goes
Drained the contents of her bank account
And all she brought were her clothes
With her backpack, her hair dyed,
Her name cast aside
She's just a ghost in the night
She's gone come daylight
The spirit of radio is dead and gone
So she's joined along for the ride
(roll the highlights)
Seeking a home where there once was not one
And storybook endings all lie
(lady twilight)
One more ticket, destination unknown
And she doesn't care where it leads
'Cause any place you lay your head can be called home
At least that's what she believes
With her eyes on horizons
And miles upon miles
Behind and inside of her stride
She's gone come daylight
one more ticket on the last train out
one more stop on the ride
one more ticket on the last train out
one more ghost in the night

Hello, can you tell me what your, name is
How can I help you out. What's wrong
Can you, please speak clearly
I know this is scary
But please listen closely
Can you tell if she's breathing
Hold on tight we'll be right with you
Sit tight, ambulance is
On its, way right to you
We'll be, there as soon as
We can, be to help you
I've got, some things
I need you to check for me please
Is there, a pulse? Are her lips blue
Okay, thank you
I know this is scary
You're doing so well here
Thank you for your patience
Hold on tight we'll be there shortly

Reticent
04:18
|
|

I've been waiting in empty hallways
Overhearing whispered conversations
For what feels a lifetime
Heart is racing and I've been pacing
Back and forth in anticipation
Now, it might be the last time
They've got medicines, and I'm reticent
To speak out loud
A strict regimen, of adrenaline
Now sleep as they weep
I suppose that it's mostly fear
Of knowing that I know nothing here that
Scares me, it's paralyzing
Tones of lifelines steady waning
Vital signs begin degrading
How, can it be the last time
They've got medicines, and I'm reticent
To speak out loud
A strict regimen of adrenaline
Now sleep, sleep sound
Waves and cannons roar like thunder
Threatening to pull us under
Loud, til we run aground
A chemical high washed us out dear
It's not what I meant by saying we would
leave here
So don't you dare bow out
They've got medicines, and I'm reticent
To speak out loud
You meant everything, my heroine
Dig deep, and bow out

Cigarettes And Wine
04:04
|
|

Your place or mine, still recall the things you said
Cigarettes and wine, an underlying sense of dread
Things don't feel right, you're waging war inside your head
Nothing seems fine, rather be somewhere else instead
Night closes in, a memory shared bittersweet where
Our only sins, are those confined between the sheets
You let me in, so we'd evade the daybreak
Room starts to spin, as we drink to all our mistakes
Let your hair down, no more dancing
Don't let them know what you're planning
Pulses race and then restrict as
Bad intent dies fresh on your lips
We don't let go, only mourn the things we've lost
Burning remorse, and every bridge we crossed
Glass overflows, and every simple comfort sought leaves
Nought to propose, when there's nothing left to want
Your place or mine, I remember what you said
Cigarettes and wine, not a single tear was shed no
I'd question why, but what the hell would the dead know
A last kiss goodbye, placed upon your headstone
|

Just Say So
04:12
|
|
||
I'm not a gentleman, more of a mental man
Always fucking up with the best of intent and then
I'm not the best at singing but I rock the instrumental and
I'll take your hand and bring you down have you saying never again
I'm getting clever again, this is word vomit
I just made a new beat and I put some words on it
I'm coming out the closet as a bona fide beast
Unleashed and completely unhinged and released
Call a priest or an exorcist. You know the next to diss is
Designated victim he'll be sleeping with the fishes
Am I suspicious? I'm dodgy looking
I am a fucking nightmare and I'm about to throw the book in
Oh man I fucking suck and I'm paranoid and I'm messed up
Around the time of brimstone club is when I wrote my best stuff
And now I'm off my meds, fuck, and my head's a state
I should learn guitar, it's never too late they say
But it's maybe too late in the day to fall to my knees and pray
To the lord to be saved, I am not that cliche
The atheist who found god. I think the fuck not.
Better chance of Ben Shapiro finding the g-spot
I am not rock, I am not hip-hop
I am not electro, I am not pop
I am not punk though I can't read music
Confused am I destined to remain excluded
Concluding I'm stupid, I should've picked a lane
Pounding myself in the head, shut up brain
Why do I even say half of the things that I say
I don't know I was hoping that you could explain
I'm not sayin' I'm not sane, I'm sayin' I'm sane
About to go super saiyan and mad profane
I'd ask you restrain yourself from being so vain
As to think I was writing of you when you hear the refrain
If you wanna get down with me then fucking say so
And if you wanna feel incomplete just fucking say so
If you wanna fall short of your promise and hype
If the only motivator that you're using is spite
And if you wanna take a ride with me just fucking say so
Drinking to excess is my best flex
One shot, ten shot, light out hit the deck
I'll wind in my neck when I'm done for the night
Alcoholic cumbrian stereotype
I'm just a regular guy who's achieved more than most
Best thing since sliced bread, I propose a toast to
The type who will ghost you, the type who will coast through
Roast you and knows what you will do and wont do
Though I'm still ill my stretched out rhyme scheme might seem unadvised
So I'll kill Will Smith and leave leave fresh prints at the crime scene and wait while you replay that twice
I'm so nice it's like I'm made by Arnott's
Went through the school of life and the school of hard knocks
Dropped out twice and incurred a hard loss
'cause every love I've ever know has turned out star-crossed
I've got a lot of thoughts, and they're hard to sort
It all spews forth and amounts to nought
But it sounded good, so I'm pleased to report
That this'll do for the time being. In short
Though I'm out for now I'll be back once more
'Cause I'm a whore for support and hate being ignored
So chalk it off, just made one more song
I started with a point but now it's definitely gone
If you wanna get wild with me then fucking say so
And if you wanna defile the sheets just fucking say so
Make you weak at the knees like cryptonite
Gonna take you back to the crib tonight
And if you wanna get down with me just fucking say so
If you wanna get high with me then fucking say so
If you wanna take a ride on me just fucking say so
You wanna get fucked up and have a gang of regrets
If you've never nearly died of a hangover yet
And if you wanna see it out with me just fucking say so
If you ever wanna be like me then fucking say so
And if you never heard schemes like these just fucking say so
If you wanna get drunk and you wanna get high
And you wanna do both with me by your side
And if you wanna share my disease then fucking say so
If you're getting in way too deep then fucking say so
If you're weak and you need some sleep just fucking say so
If you're scared that you might be losing your mind
If you're afraid and don't want to be maligned
If you wanna let go and go home then fucking say so

Bigger And Better

When I walk in the club, all the girls are like "wow"
Then when you walk in the club all the girls they walk out
'Cause I'm highly swagnificent, got the swag dripping and
SoCo what I'm sipping I'll be riding in whip and then it's
Scene looking red-hot, tell the doorman best not
Keep me standing outside, or somebody's gonna get got
I'm going to get shots, I want absinthe
Forgive me my liver 'cause you're guaranteed I have sinned
I'm fly like Jeff Hardy, Fly like Jeff Goldblum
Fly into a rage if there is somebody approaching
Provoking, Think that I probably just misspoke
If you thought that heard not scene was another stupid slogan
I talk more shit than a downspout
One more hit then I'll bow out
Put me on I'll turn the crowd out
I'm king shit where's my crown now?
My dick's much bigger than yours
It's better than yours 'cause it's bigger than yours
I don't like Tom Macdonald 'cause he's nothing but an edge lord
I heard two of his songs, and they made me fully fledged bored
makes my head sore, but this is not a diss
He's just Eminem if Eminem was in a sale from WISH
I'm more like limp bizkit, proving I'm the shiznit
I spit the fokken rhymes that are designed to get your chick wit
Shake it like a shake-weight, shake it like a big dick
Shake it like you're cheating on your steps to trick your fitbit
What you going to do dude? I see you coming unglued
Jealousy's an ugly colour but it kind of suits you
I'll be rocking youtube, I'll be rocking new shoes
I'll be rock and roll while you're at home and watching blues clues
I'm in the who's who of underground new dudes
If you know the half of it then chugga chugga choo choo
I do voodoo, I do magic
I get manic, write a song and prove I'm batshit
