I want to curl you up
Put you in my luggage -
I want to bring you back home.
I want to screw you up
keep you in my pocket
I want to tear you all down.
(CH)
Cause if I had you
Yeah if I had you
If I had you I might be happy for a while.
Cause If I had you
Yeah if I had you
If I had you I might be happy (but not for too long)
I want to drag you down
tie you in my basement
I want to get you alone.
I want to see what you will do when you have
everything and nothing -
I want to see what you'd own.

Born in the Machine
Born in the machine
You never knew the aor
before it was the gunk that
fills your lungs now.
You're just another face
abhor the human race
digging deep another day
so you can will your life away
It's always been the same
for as long as you could play the game
always an arms reach away.
and behold the "gentlemen"
setting rules for "free-er" men
in their prisons made of greed
and words of faceless men they heed -
(CH)
Watch out!
Hold tight!
'Cause the machine is set to 'act your age' and you are in it's sights
Watch out!
Hold tight!
Once you realise that you arent free the Man will try and set you back.
Born in the machine
You dont even see the box
or the line that you wont question
cause you've learnt to fear the costs
Try to make ends meet
forget that person on the street
its 'all for one' not 'one for many'
Can't spare a dime - Wont spare a penny
But you'll pay your tax on time
to the Man who'll use your dime
to screw you over for a living
without question or misgiving
You get up and go to work
check your watch and clean and jerk
Swallow down the rat race that's a given
wasted dreams will be forgiven
(CH)
(Br)
Who counts your blessings?
Who counts your sins?
Sit down. Be quiet.
Now, lets begin (x2)

Curbchecked Enthusiasm (28/07/2015)
Curbcheck your brain
Leave it at the door
You wont need it here
Can't use your advice.
So dangle me like a carrot
That one day I might feel the crunch
of my fucking legs snapping
rather than bending under your persuasion
And you don't need my input the signal is quite dead
Die inside if you want to -
The output is just static.
(CH) Curbcheck your enthusiasm (x3)
Curbcheck your life
So blistered I lay here
Like an empty vessel
an artist wasting its craft
to paint you a visio.

Butter Up (05/07/2014)
With gods like these
who needs enemys?
They send you like an elephant on a flying trapeze.
With excuses
All the reason in the world
all the rhyme but no mistake for what is done
You peeled the sulphur from the sun; and
(Pre-Chorus)
No
You can't send your forgiveness
because you've heard it all before
left lying on the floor
and; No
There won't be a retraction
Another day just waiting for inaction
(CH)
They butter you up
so they can tear you down easy so easy -
one more time
They butter you up
so they can sell you the answer
why it didnt turn out this time (this time)
But when it all melts down
You can have some on your waffles or throw it out.
You choose the story now.
Who butters you up?
And if it drags you down you are responsible now.
You are responsible.
With friends like these the world is on its knees
And they skin you like a tiger
spread out on the hunters floor.
Every option in the world
to move along so swiftly or
like a brick
you can curl up 'round
holding a grudge up
like a mirror to your own face now.
They send you like an elephant on a flying trapeze.

Val (20/06/2017)
See her sitting there
all sexy curves
just right
Makes you wanna slide down the line
grab her
get under her wheels
get her motor running (she's so hot)
gotta turn her on
(CH)
I'm in love with Val
318 crammed all up inside her
Fire her up listen to her purr like a demon
You should hear her pipes
when you get her hot
more cubic inches than a hummer full of slut
You're sitting at the lights with your shitty '96
Looks like you got it free in a box of weeta bix.
Revving at the lights like your clutch is gonna drop
You think you got a lot of boost but it's just a sippy cup
(CH) I'm in love with Val
318 crammed all up inside her
Fire her up listen to her purr like a demon
You should hear her pipes when you get her
hot more cubic inches than a drag race full of guts
Smell that ethanol burn (x8)

Looking at Dead (2017)
I see your mask - I cant see you, see you (x4)
Where is your face?
Where are you?
Where is your soul?
Hidden behind how many walls?
How many hits?
How many will it take?
To see behind those eyes
To see what's really there.
Spending your life hidden
Wasted in someone elses frame
Built on an illusion (illusion)
Hidden, genuinely.
I can't tell you that I've ever seen a tree
pretending it is an apple or a frog
why does it seem you all do?
Destroying me
Looking into the mask
Destroying (destroying)
Looking at dead
Dead inside
No wonder there are so many souls lost.
I can't stand to look at masks anymore
Don't want to stare at a soul that doesnt see into me.
Can you see?
Am I fucking alone in here?
Oh god - How can you live like this?
I just need to see something genuine.
Screaming "WHY!?"
How can this be?
Build your own prison
So many hidden that even those free are alone.

Glittoris (01/05/2017)
Oh you
fucking fabulous
Shiny soul
dipped in glittered wonderland
shining like a crazy diamond
Pretending like they know you exist
You don't care hidden behind the thin veneer of pink tape
writing your own story like you'd read the book before
bigger than big time - in search of something more
than just the fabled glittoris
They want to taste your mind too.
They want to break your back.
They need to know your inside scars and inside out
Not just the cherry bombadeer to blow your mind
Oh you
filthy wonderland
silky tongue
wrapped to whet your appetite
sliding like a crazy pirate
pretending like you care they exist.

Monster in a Mohawk (23/04/2016)
Here's the Damsel in distress.
You're holding onto that old white dress
pretending there's something more to see, but
Beyond your ego (oh here we go)
We slipped and now I missed it
You don't want to go (oh, oh)
(CH)
Pretending you're the nice guy-
I'M THE NICE GUY you piece of shit.
Pretending you're the nice guy-
You're a monster in a mohawk. (x2)
Now time has drained and I remember
what it once was
to be without your
cruel ignorance
What a joke it was vying for your attention
I should be embarrassed (as you mentioned)
(CH)
(BR) And ignorant excuses fly from your lying gash.
I was never nothing but
You didn't bother to walk away
without a few choice things to say.

Kicking Out (2017)
You don't really like my haircut
You don't really like my tattoos
You tell me " I just look right through you"
and that you're worried what I'll do.
You tell me that you like things 'just so'
That all my messy habits have to go
Already scripted out my whole life
But only if it suits - You're thinking about it
Just wondering about it.
Just thinking
I'm thinking
Don't rush me
I'll drag my feet like theyre wrapped in leather
and concrete and every other mistake
I'll drag my feet out
like Im kicking and screaming
just tell me that Im dreaming
cause it's wrong
You don't really like my tattoos
You tell me " I just look right through you"
and that you're worried what I'll do.

Fucking Perfect (Idiot)
Caught up in the past
I can't seem to let it go.
Always looking back for answers
Why
Can't you just let me know?
I said I'd wait here
My promise is no lie.
Your room's exactly how you left it and
Baby, so am i
(Ch)
Cause everything was perfect
well, nearly fucking perfect
I know I was fucking perfect
But youre gone.
Not ready to accept
youre gone or just the truth
that your life's moving forward
I was no good for you
You were just a baby
and im still just a man
Ill hold you on a pedestal
for as long as I still can
I can't seem to let it go.
