I've heard that you're back in town, holy cow
I hope that you're happy now, 'cause it sounds
Like you'll be here for a while, I compiled
Reasons to stick around this shitty town
If I see you then it may, make my day
So much that I wanna say, if I may
I'd never have found a way, to convey
I mourned when you got away, I hope you stay
I saw you on thursday night and,
holy hell you looked damn fine girl
Swing my way and we'll get naughty
Gorgeous little fuck
Frustrating it happens time, after time
Take my shot and drop the line, too much wine
I wish I could read your mind, see designs
To lead us to intertwined, alone time

Down The Drain
02:32
|
|

Meet me on the harbour front
You can bring your friends
I'm as nervous as you are
Message unsent
Wrote a novel in my outbox
With all the things I want to say
I don't want to scare you off
So I delay
Should I even tell you I like you?
Should I go all-in?
Now it's all built up with nowhere to go but
Down the drain again
I just can't win
I can't trust myself today
I might say something out loud
It's always better in my head
And I have my doubts

Tear Free Shampoo
03:11
|
|
||
They say woke might make you broke
But the rancor's making me sick
Eyes wide open, mind closed shut
Throw it out just to see what will stick
I can't think of anybody
who looks like you, cries just like you
Did the woke mean gliteratti
Say you should use, tear free shampoo
Hyperbolic astro-TERF
On a ship that's sailed and needs sunk
Cool as ice keep, punching down
Remind us you'll never be punk
Everybody's out to get you
You're special and you're unique
Snowfall can't come fast enough
fill your mouth to silence your speech

Small D Energy
02:55
|
|
||
Not so loud, you're scaring the pigeons
That means more to me than your words
No accounting for style over substance
Take the hole then cut into turds
Not the voice of a generation
Not the silent majority
Not so big and you're radiating
Lots of small dick energy
All red faced and misunderstood get
backgammon, I don't play your game
Get set up and knock down the peace it's
Not taboo, you're acting insane
You stand up for those with everything
I try to talk and you interrupt
Kiss those boots some more and then tell me
How you're silenced when you wont shut up

There Was An Attempt
02:32
|
|
||
Kept that dirty secret
Bottled up inside
Said you'd take it with you
On the day you die
And that's tonight
I'm trying to save your life tonight
But nothing's going right
I'm rushing to be by your side
I pray I'm there on time
Hold on for a moment
Hold off for a while
Don't you put this phone down
As I cover miles
And I say
I'm trying to save your life
Hope that I'm there on time

Manic At The Disco
02:24
|
|
||
She's not dancing, she's falling over
although you couldn't tell unless you know her
Or it's
2AM, this girl's a shitshow
Can't convince, her she should go home
Panic at the disco
Manic and a schitzo
Wants one more drink but the bar's long closed
so she's asking strangers if they've got some at home
Then she forgets she's got a boyfriend
Until after she wakes in a stranger's bed

Living My Best Knife
02:29
|
|
||
This is my best knife
He says hello
Pierce through the flesh and
Glance off the bone
Here on my table
Under my hand
I will improve you
As is my brand
Doctor starting operation
Make my first incision right there
Don't disrupt my concentration
Transformation to a nightmare

Arson

I've got plenty of bad ideas of
What to do to kill time
Finish that gin and I'll count you in 'cause
You're my partner in crime
Pass the gas and light the match we're
Burning the whole place down
We'll torch the gaff, it's good for a laugh
Have one last smoke then we bounce
No-one noticed the two dumb bastards
Hauling a tank of fuel
One hour later, the blue lights flash as
They race their way to school

The Tempest
03:08
|
|
||
You let the clouds open today
God help anyone that's in your way
Even your smile brings on the rain
You know you're still my favourite weather pattern
They always get the forecast wrong
You're unpredictable in nature
They said we'd never get along
You wrecked my house and then I still forgave you
Bring hell my, sweet thunder
Double down and make it good
Drop it like you know you should
Come hell or, bad weather
Bring the tumult with your flood
Thunderstorm is out for blood
You started up today so slow
I hope this neighbourhood's insured
They're trying to board up their windows
They'll never stand up to a tempest like yours

Shivers
02:41
|
|
||
keep me awake, 'cause I know what's at stake
Say you like the heartache, 'cause it makes it
Taste much sweeter
crawl inside my head like
worms my living dead girl
Fangs at my neck, could you be more direct?
Said you're not like the rest, and it's complex
I'd guessed as much
crawl inside my head like
worms my living dead girl
You send, shivers down my spine with
Every word you whisper
I'd prefer if you climbed
Back inside your grave
Your stranglehold, does it ever grow old?
You're a sight to behold, with no soul to
Hold you back now

Prom Night
02:38
|
|
||
A shotgun wedding turned to
A handgun funeral
More ammo for the critics
To fire right at your numbskull
You're dressed up like it's prom night
Where do you think you are?
The paparazzi flash lights
Like they did at your mum's car
I left out the best part
Where it's all your fault
Clawed out your aeorta
Rub in the salt
You know I'm on your side but
You're making it damn hard
Just sign it off and send it
Good luck and best regards

Inside My House
02:58
|
|
||
I awake again
To the same routine, as I go downstairs
And I take a dozen pills
To make me feel alright
And to numb my spine
This is my life, spent indoors
I'm not going outside
Inside my house I've got all that I need
As long as my internet works you wont see me
Friends used to say I'm a hermit
Though I don't feel that way
I don't likeBeing disturbed
Unless it's me that's loud, because I prefer
Night falls again
It's just my light on, as I write this song
'Cause who needs dark to sleep
Certainly not me, people give me creeps

I'm writing you, to say
Thanks for the picture of your face
I'll treasure it, always
It's the greatest thing, means a lot to me
I'm writing to let you know
You're never really alone
I'm everywhere, you go
On the day we meet, you'll know everything
I'm confessing, you're the best thing,
Let me pretend, you're my best friend
Such a blessing, unsuspecting
Let us descend as the world ends
I haven't heard from you in quite some time
Honestly it's like I'm losing my mind
Guess I have to take what, I find
He meant a lot to you, I made sure no-one knew

Hearts Wild
02:51

We don't do well when we're losing, do we?
Your dad he always said he didn't raise a failure
You know I find this all amusing
Going into tilt is not a motivator
We threw it all in on the flop then waited
Baited breath as rivers broke their banks and flooded
You never did have enough patience, baby
Gamble on a pair when I come five card studded
Keep your cards close to your chest
Play the hand that you're dealt
We play games where the hearts run
Flush then fold
I thought diamonds were your best friend, hey it's
okay we all get a bad hand sooner or later
But now I've seen the way you play and, maybe
I'm having regrets about you coming to vegas

Lost The Plot
02:42
|
|
||
This story doesn't have an end
It's just dragging on and on
A plot that isn't making sense
And the drama's overdrawn
Not selling out, and I wonder
If now you doubt, this scene
All together now, dear punters
Get comfortable in your seats
An hour in, it feels like years
It's getting trashed in the reviews
The audience are bored to tears
And the nightmare wont conclude
This plot doesn't play like the movies
One shot and it all gets resolved
No one walks away in the sunset
No red carpet, no crowd applause

Saints And Sinners
02:43
|
|
||
One lonesome eve at the crossroads
There stood a dark stranger, and when he spoke
Was with a smile and arms held wide
Said I've been waiting for you for a while
He offered me something he said
Would always stay with me 'Til my deathbed
Then from his hand tickets appeared
Asked if I was ready for the premier
At witching hour
The acrobats and wicked clowns need to devour
This carnival's in town we want your saints and sinners
Are welcome we'll take anyone both saints and sinners
Step right up enjoy the fun inside

Turn It Off
03:22
|
|

Why piss on my confidence
That doesn't make any sense
Doesn't make me want to improve
It just puts me in a bad mood
Maybe you'll see it my way
When it's turned around some day
Perhaps then you might think twice
But don't ask me for some advice
Don't hear the words, you just want a new groove
Wrap up and sold and free up on youtube
Put in hard work, it's really quite sickening
Time to shut up, obey you conditioning
Hones-tly I, can't can't see how you're glued to
Every-thing else, except what I do do
I've had enough, how do I stop this thing
Turn that shit off, I know you're not listening
Maybe that's why bands round here
Never blow up and disappear
Too easy to ridicule
Effort's never percieved as cool
Even with the things I've seen
It still gets under my skin
If you'd tried to get along
I wouldn't have wrote this song
