Spare the rod, spoil the dog

The old matches

Struck against her cheek

Only a few more boxes

Ready for war

Amazing what she can do

Because she has no choice

Thought she was broken

She is the rising voice

Bearing arms

Quickening the rise

Up against the wall

Up against the rocking hard place

Hung her cage up

Around the dogs

Save her heart for fuel

Sparing them the rod

Sharp to slanted sticks

Clearing the debris from

Soldiers that never asked to fight

Soldiers that never asked to fight.

Maul you its her fault

Bite you its her fault

Spare the rod

Spoil the dog

Spare the rod 

Spoil the dog

Spoil the rod

Spare the dog

Most innocent of occasion

Dripping licks of hunger

The floor returns nothing but spoils

Nothing but spoilt surprise

The convicts rise

Beyond their station

The fury of fear

Unleashed on the tyrant

Now you respect her

Respect the beast in fear

Branded in furious terror

The monster lives here

Maul you its her fault

Bite you its her fault

Spare the rod

Spoil the dog

Spare the rod 

Spoil the dog

Spoil the rod

Spare the dog

She is the rising voice

You are the shrinking tyrant

Your soul charge

Destroyed a soul.

Get it right

I make

Mistakes

Cant you be the 

Thing i get right

I see you

Could be something

With me something

With me

But can you see me?

Do you have the eyes that see inside?

Can you see me?

Do you want to see at all?

Searching

Try not to look

Too hard

See whats not there

Alone

Till i find

The heart

That wants to fit with mine

(Bridge)

Your lips look perfect to me

Ive seen you before in a dream

Look too closely

Youll see youd be perfect for me

I make

Mistakes

Can you be the

Thing i get right?

Corporate Anarchy

Kick off your sheets

Youre getting weak

Shuffling the same old dead end street ya

Chew your food like a mule

Youre a fucking tool

Heading to a dead end job that makes you druel!

Cor-por-ate slavery

Making all that gravy

Corporate an-arch-y

Infiltrating the man from the inside out, into the street! 

Paper trail like a goddamn nail

And your head 

It is dead from the stupid mess

Tearing clothes that they dress you in

Like a whore what is more they

Tip you over the edge

Cor-por-ate slavery

Wasting all that gravy

Corporate an-arch-y

Meeting demands from the man from the inside out, hes gotta bleed! 

(Bridge)

Lazy bosses

Fucking tossers

Bills come in

Paycheques pretty thin

Stupid paper

Fuck i hate ya

You fucking scab

This is the worst 9-5 ive ever had

Blow off this week

Gonna drop in the street 

So damn sick of this rhetoric

They changed the post again

So they can feel like a man

Rather be getting laid, but i gotta get paid cause 

Cor-por-ate slavery

Fat cats in the gravy

Corporate an-arch-y

Breaking down the man from the inside out, and then repeat! 

And then repeat

And then repeat

AND THEN REPEAT! 

World on broken feet

Cant believe i might miss this

I want to see each day

Same as back home 

Eleven years & you went away

Crumbling insides seas

Cant make them go on forever

Crumbling inside me

Cant nearly go on forever

See the same eyes of mine

In yours burning deep

See the passage of time

Might see the same fate creep

Crumbling inside seas

Cant hold back the waves forever

Crashing inside me

Want to watch you grow for forever

Will i see the same black cat

Breaking down in my doorway

Will there be the same day that

You'll be standing in the driveway

Come eat inside me

Come sleep inside me

Come creep inside me

Cant fight them, baby

Cant shake this feeling

I might not be there

I hate the feeling

One day your heart might bear this on its own

Crashing inside me

Wars go on forever

I break inside me

Ill watch you for forever

Wont miss a step

Wont miss a beat

I cant do this forever

The world on broken feet

Creeping inside me

Crawling for too long

Beating inside me

Sometimes shit goes wrong

And the void that lingers on & on & on

Cant believe i might miss this

Dont want to see the day

Same as back home 

Eleven years still

Every second

Every minute

Every year

Till this day.

Dear hunter

Picking straight the edge

Dripping red blade sails

Tools of the trade

Glistening silver lining

Clear as crystal

The thought that you can rest

Sold bones the dealer glows

With such easy gait

And tools are shined and

Watched 

Till you are ready keep shining

The plan in your mind

The glimmer of the

Falsest promise is the targeted

Point of entry to the

Life theyll leave behind

So finally each piece

Is pulled together like the

Old gold watch that ticks down

His only moments left

This time its your silver that is

Wrapped so carefully and gleaming

Waiting for the crimson sheen

To finally warm its bones and cool his chest

So candid along those streets 

Now filling with the dusk and dank

Dispel all other thoughts now

With intention, dear hunter

And aloft his glass is raised again

Like so many times you watched before

Mercilessly he unclocks with a clock 

Unhinging the lady at whim

And bleeding back down has rocked more

Than a few pretties youve seen

Dangling in the afterthoughts

And flush with blue & purple

Not another waste tonight though

Just the purest of intention clicks over

Steel pinging in your jacket

For any passer caring to listen

But each faceless face passed by with

A deserted smile in his 9-5

Too involved to get involved

You smoulder on your pathway

Steady

The kill is looming

Rats

A fucking rat

Gifted from six of your seven

Seas

You hit the evening breeze with the faint smell of death

To put your simple mind at E Z E

Ahhh

Enough to bite 

Enough to chew

Ripping right through enough to 

Fill your fucking bones

Enough to want a little

More

Oh the decadence

You once enjoyed the fruits off

Some other mans back

Some other man was eating rats

But now youre the man

Filling the score

Wanting for more

Being the whore

And watching him waste the core

Rats

Gifted from six of your seven senses

But the seventh demon neglected to mention

The instrument

Ready the prize for all your effort

Steady your eyes for all thats left

Its a ready disease 

Plaguing you with E Z E

Ripened fable

Gracing yourself with

Crooks & killers and scamps

And monsters and zombies and

Ants and vultures and demons and

Cramps and losers and lamps 

And villains and rats and wrath and

Rats and

rats and

rats and

rats and

RATS!!!

Brick as you

You are just a fucking

Cunt

Your useless wastage

Boring my system with your accolades 

Again with this tyrade

At most you have my apathy

Youve bluntened your edges

Your soggy & sour scent

Burning my nostrils

With feted & foul stench

Can i just dance over until i find your grave

I want to be the one that

Kicks you in your

Caveing in your ribs &

Burdening your brain with my

Toes smoshing in your grey

You dont matter

You are just a useless fucking

Affront 

to my goddamn senses

You are the bludgeoning hole of

Gurgling blood from useless bones and

Scoured teeth broken

Like dog snot in the sun

Wetting your chest with irony and filth

It takes all of me to come along & pet

Your little head with pure distain

And sordid soul you dont deserve

Mingling with the mongrel that you are

Vomiting your face out of your

Dirty corpse & loathsome skin

Filthying my feet to crush in your

Useless bones and every irony

That a brick like you could continue to live

Without being stomped is beyond me.

February

Another year inside this crushing rib cage

Crib cage

Another wonder ruined 

Another wonder dry

That taste in your mouth

The chalk of grinding teeth

Swallowing back snot

Stifling inner voice

Reminding you that no ones there

The empty chair

Stained from the last now left bleeding

Heart pumping fluid to nowhere

Blackened crust

Crushed coal 

Ache-ed soul

Didnt need it anyway

Cradling that last modicum of care

Like if it flickers out

The lighthouse will never be found again

In the light youll never share

Brittle bones of air

Speckle through your once attach-ed heart

Like an artist prying placing digging

The design carved into glass past

The war will remain open 

Coveted to remember the age when

Yes you did dance

Wonderment and chance bent slightly

Overflowing like you thought it would till bone dry crackles on

Heavy & floundering

Made to walk again the streets

Once you knew so well and

Empty full of strangers

Jostling the moonlight stare

Blankly by 

Straight inside you to the spot

Buried deep in the wall

Crusting over like the eyes of infection

Weeping like the oozing sores you badly puttied over hoping to hide

But you know its there

You know its there

You peel back the layers of wallpaper

But see through every paisley page

Sideshow

Lying on the floor here

Dressed up in mess of lace 

Drain the life away from me

Daddy says to pay no mind

Just dry my eyes & smile a smile dear

Let it slip behind

I twist & contort in my sleep i

Melt into a shard of ice

On dripping sheets 

And hollowed out the whispers near

And further drift away from here

Burrowing deeper in my mind

(Ch)

Close down the world

Lock up the streets

Dont you touch me touch me touch me - Fucking sleep

Rest your aching feet

Close your eyes and ill break you break you 

break down into a sideshow

Shutting down the inside in

-side basket walls and madness spin

-ning in & out of consciousness

Cant tear enough of outside ground

To build a bridge to burn it down

Canibalising what is left of within

Tearing chunks out of my skin 

The ugly knot that grows within

I want to make the outside match

Left to the inner voice that speaks 

My inner demons rhetorics

What part of me is left to eat?

Unnamed

My wooden cup has found me

Curled up inside my ribs

Swimming in a pool of full and

Grinning from wrist to wrist

Im shaking now ive found you

Youre tempering the void

And focussing my inside so

I cannot be ignored

I am a leaf on the wind

I am a crackling leaf ghost floating dream

I am a leaf on the 

Breeze flows through my veins

& I am just a leaf on the wind

Youve a face on each angle

A smile on each side

You're 21 mouthes with 

14 sets of eyes

Im sinking my feet in

& grounding inside

My soul of stone shores

My home mountain sky

Anna Underage

Coast

What if im just plain crazy 

not sane crazy

The world makes sense less today

Still here anyway

A pound of people 

Ground of people

No hope for the masses

Hiding underneath stern glasses

Glasses of a man tutting in their ears

Feeding all their fears

Until every last question disappears

Heavy glasses of a man tutting in their ears

Feeding all the fears

And they coast in low gear

Steady walk towards the grave

Just too plain tired to misbehave

Easier on a leash than

Being the guy out fighting power on the streets

Did i swallow the madness or did the madness swallow me? 

Do you play with madness or does the madness play with he?

What if im just plain crazy 

not sane crazy

The world makes sense less today

Pushing on anyway

Wallets got green lining while youre lying

Face down in the gutterball

So they just dont look down at all

Cant see a problem no more 

When the abyss stares into you, does it see you or just the abyss inside you? Maybe its not an abyss that youre staring down at all...

Man from Vietnam

oure like nothing that ive seen

Youre the demon in my dream

The drawn on devils wing

The be & end of everything

Youre the only puzzle box

Id have the key & not unlock

Id option, wait to one day see 

If one day you might unlock me

Rice paper man riddle

Ride the real world

Three porcelain warriors

Told me about you

Rice paper man puzzle 

Feted sword river raging

A man in a dream told me

One day youd black the moon

Bridge

So familiar i look over

Quizzical like i know you

Like we've met & you know me

From somewhere ive never seen

Inked onto scrolled paper

Black symbols, red color

How could i once know

But i know i dont though

The ship sailing over

The edge of the world where

The water is creeping

To slow feet of fleeting

Cage of lies

tep off the world

Glass ceiling 

makes your mind believe

Its what youre seeing

But we're tipping off the tippy toe

With no return or place to go

We're rolling over onto rage

We believe we're safest in this cage 

of lies

Cage of lies

Cage of lies

The days of defiance are upon us right

Now - we're talking

Soldiering on though

Still walking

Dont want to believe

What youre seeing

Still wandering blind

Simply being - in this cage 

of lies

Cage of lies

Cage of lies

The days of defiance are upon us right

Now - is the second 

and the chance to fight 

The day of reckoning

To make a change for the better

Or to fall for the worst

And keep this cage

of lies

Cage of lies

Cage of lies

The days of defiance are upon us right?

No one will stand alone

We're all just flesh and bone

Fear & rage & self control

Everything that we've been told

If no one stands then we all suffer

But if we stand with our brother

Steadfast solidarity

Freedom is never free

Step off the world

Glass ceiling 

makes your mind believe

Its what youre seeing

Love is a riot

She all thinks shes different

He all thinks shes the same

Such a shame. Shame, now shame her

She deserves it anyway

Love. Its a riot.

So calm yourself & take a breath

The worst is yet to come yet

Yet to come yet

Shake your foundations &

Make you question your truth

Love. Its a riot.

So laugh now. 

Once again the pieces of your

Headlessness embraced you face

Another path thats empty just

Another goddamn race

Be more or less uptight unwind now

Just a little just to see if it 

Could make a lick of difference to the

One that doesnt want she and

She breaks her bones to make it work

He looks at her like she is worthless

Breathless makes the strong fall weaker

Crumble behind the scar thats deeper

Love. Its a riot.

So calm yourself & take a breath

The worst is yet to come yet -

Yet to come yet

Shake your foundations &

Make you question your truth

Love. Its a riot.

So laugh now. 

Laugh now.

(Bridge)

Can you find it hidden

Staring out of your abyss

Is she the sparkle in his eye or

Is she just the absys? 

Cause amour breaks your armour when

It should protect you

so in you fall with love and watch it frozen from

That which you would want it most cause 

Love. Yeah, Its a riot.

So calm yourself & take a breath

The worst is yet to come yet -

Yet to come yet

Shake your foundations &

Make you question your truth

Love. Its a riot.

So laugh now. 

Laugh now

Haha

Im laughing 

What a fucking joke.
