We drown ourselves in the river Styx
No life or love keeps afloat the fix
The fix that we need to control our lives
The control we need to keep us alive
We stay compliant, we stay aware
We stay in the dark, we stay to care
This bittersweet,
The love and loss
Overwhelming sensation that when the reaper knocks
The hatred of good
The love of hate
The fear of innocence served on a plate
Cos this is where your loved ones lie
Still in debt the day they die
Cos this is where your father sleeps
Afraid to cry, afraid to weep
And now we will abide the time
These Lambs are slaughter side by side
Every false hope is dead
The path that all our mothers led
Now we kick the broken chair
Now we make it crystal clear

To Hell and Back
03:53
|

Are you ready to go to hell and back
Are you sure
You’re braver than I
Drink this poison
Here we go again
Ears ringing like it’s gonna be for long again
Hook line sinker, how it goes
let’s burn the witch and let’s feed the crows
The whole world hates us so it should
we’re pride, we’re privileged, we ain’t good
This god forsaken land of late,
Let’s burn it down, it ain’t fucking great
I hope we go to hell
I hope it finds us well
I hope we go to hell
I hope it finds us well
I hope we go to hell
I hope it finds us well
I hope we go to hell
I hope it finds us well
Because if I could go back to the start of us
I’d purge the gods, there’d be no fuss
No gods, no masters, none at all
I’d pay to watch the empire fall
Our lives and saviours all to dust
No rolling dice, all out of luck
The ancient hell that we look upon
It would all be better if it were fucking gone
I hope we go to hell
I hope it finds us well
I hope we go to hell
I hope it finds us well
I hope we go to hell
I hope it finds us well
I hope we go to hell
I hope it finds us well
I hope we go to hell
Burn it Fucking down now
Torch this motherfucker
Oh my god we’re gonna burn this fucking place down
Kill them all
I hope we all go to Fucking hell

King's Horses
03:31
|
|||
Clean cut and I’m locked outside
Nose bleeding and I’m starting to cry
King’s horses broke their necks
Jumped the fence and get no respect
You can run the race but you’ll still come last
drink to death and get fucking smashed.
Kill the king and then burn the throne
Love thy neighbour from a broken home.
Oh you’re so expendable
You’re gonna starve before you end it all.
Do you like the taste of swan?
once a year or they’d all be gone
Oh look it’s my fifteenth party
Get my ass out for the paparazzi
Sniff it all til my senses go numb
Thanks tax man spent it in one
Clean cut and I’m locked outside
Nose bleeding and I’m starting to cry
King’s horses broke their necks
Jumped the fence and get no respect
You can run the race but you’ll still come last
drink to death and get fucking smashed.
Kill the king and then burn the throne
Love thy neighbour from a broken home.
Do you like my chandelier
Paid for it with cold hard tears
Sip wine from a champagne glass
Praise god at the midnight mass
Your hunger it won’t hold, you’ll die before you revolt
Malnourished love affair
We’re all rich so who fucking cares
Clean cut and I’m locked outside
Nose bleeding and I’m starting to cry
King’s horses broke their necks
Jumped the fence and get no respect
You can run the race but you’ll still come last
drink to death and get fucking smashed.
Kill the king and then burn the throne
Love thy neighbour from a broken home.
Mass graves for the chosen ones
Knives out to survive the cult
No love for the broken homes
Unempathetic for the broken bones
Clean cut and I’m locked outside
Nose bleeding and I’m starting to cry
King’s horses broke their necks
Jumped the fence and get no respect
You can run the race but you’ll still come last
drink to death and get fucking smashed.
Kill the king and then burn the throne
Love thy neighbour from a broken home.
can run the race
but you’ll still come last
you should drink to death and get fucking smashed.
So Kill the king

Love thy neighbour from a
Broken
home

You are trapped in a cycle of poverty and ill health
They don’t give a fuck about you
14 million people living in poverty
4 million of those being children
This place is a fucking disgusting rat hole
They don’t give a fuck about you they get their steak dinner at the end of the day
Let's fucking go
You can't knock the system been in place for years
You can't knock the system don't care about your tears
No, can't knock the system protected by law
You can't knock the system If not then what are you good for
They're buying houses while you starve and bleed on the floor
Closet fucking racists greedy cos they want more
Sending troops to death zones for oil and call it just war
Stealing from your bank accounts the money that you bled for
And this is it I'm gonna be worked to the bone
My mother works from 9-5 for you to tax it all
Take my money my pride my will to give
You fucking murderers you're taking all that I can give
Yeah It's your fault your like this
Nah You need to work hard
Oh It's your fault your like this
Oh Your not mentally scarred
Yeah is it my fault I’m like this
Nah I don't work hard enough
I’m feeling on edge mate
Nah that’s just a bluff
Ignoring public crisis
what politicians do
They hate your mothers hate your fathers despise you
They say comply they say abide but they don't answer back
Pretend to be upset play the fucking victim
when we answer back
And this is it I'm gonna be worked to the bone
My mother works from 9-5 for you to tax it all
Take my money my pride my will to live
You fucking murderers you're taking all that I can give
And this is it I'm gonna be worked to the bone
My mother works from 9-5 for you to tax it all
Take my money my pride my will to live
You fucking murderers you're taking all that I can give

Cos oh no I can't breathe
Oh no I can't see
I'm about to reach my fucking breaking point and I mean
All things that I say
There goes by not a day
Where I don't wanna end it all pack my things run away
We know that we ain't gonna make it now
Ain't gonna make it out alive
We know that we ain't gonna make it now
My heart it bleeds just for you
Cos I find my self questioning
I find my mind beckoning
Wether I should give it up or drown myself in my sin
Hang me up by a thread
Please leave me for dead
Cos I can't seem to get the fucking noise out of my head
We know that we ain't gonna make it now
Ain't gonna make it out alive
We know that we ain't gonna make it now
My heart it bleeds just for you
Oh can you feel it

Scandals and Vandals
05:03
|
|||
If you don't have anything, then there’s nothing left lose
If you don't have a purpose, then you're gonna have to choose
To put your faith in fiction, or put your faith in the news
But either way you'll end up, disappointed with a bruise
Cause there's maggots in your music, and there's maggots in the law
They'll rip away your earnings, and at your heart they'll claw
Take everything you have, and everything you earn
They'll rip away your cravings, disobey and you'll be burned
Cause I put my faith in all of it, and I put my faith in hymn
But they never fucking listened, and I'm never giving in
So nows the time to realise, and nows the time to stop
Cos its just a money scandal, 1% at the top
I tried my fucking best, but its all become a cough
Last time I tried praying, Your God told me to fuck off
Come on
Yeah, nows the time to get down on your fucking knees
I'm a rebel of your faith
And I'm a rebel of your prayer
Cause Every time I struggled
Your god was never there
Nothing but a money maker
Nothing but a money taker
Nothing but a fucking vandal
And nothing but a scandal
Yeah, Here lies my conscience
Nothing but a poor broken boy who spoke nonsense
Nothing but a victim, of capitalist fraud
Who got his soul taxed, fucked and thrown overboard
Forgotten people, all around the place, waste of space
But we're all part of the human race
We got few issues, need to be addressed
Gonna be rebellion then we'll break some fucking necks
It's never gonna end, unless we take a stand
Fuck the government, fuck the church
Its all a scam
Nows the time, to call around
And burn the fucking system down
I'm a rebel of your faith
And i'm a rebel of your prayer
Cause every time I struggled
Your god was never there
Nothing but a money maker
Nothing but a money taker
Nothing but a fucking vandal
And nothing but a scandal
Oh, you're a good person
Because you pray before food and read verse one
But you ignore, the children in the streets
Who are starving to death without a fucking spoon to feed
You don't really care, you just do what you're told
Ignoring poverty they're dying now but thats the goal
Nothing but, a genocide of working class
Bow down bend over for the overarching
Fascist, the priests who got landed
Into a prison cell locked up
But fuck the lot of em, Cause I don't give a fuck
Hopefully they've got cell mate with a dick to suck
I hope they stay locked up for life
But if the church gets involved they'll only get a night
The scandals and vandals, the hopes and dreams
Of already broken people, down on their knees
I'm a rebel of your faith
And I'm a rebel of your prayer
Cause every time I struggled
Your god was never there
Nothing but a money maker
Nothing but a money taker
Nothing but a fucking vandal
And nothing but a scandal
I'm a rebel of your faith
And I'm a rebel of your prayer
Cause every time I struggled
Your god was never there
Nothing but a money maker
Nothing but a money taker
Nothing but a fucking vandal
And nothing but a scandal

OCD
03:49
|

Come on
Cos I said you ain’t going anywhere
They said you better get in the ground son
I’m growing horns by the minute
Got scales coming out, coming out I can feel it
This mother, little lover doesn’t like me
This stupid little head wants to fight me
I’ve proper fucked it now
Still never be a man about town
I’m a toothless, gutless, cashless liar
Getting closer I can see through the fire
Now it’s tryna put the chains on me
And Now I’m stripped naked for the world to see
I hate this gorgeous life of mine
I’m so ungrateful for the ounce of time
This over-complicated disaster disorder
Order Order
What if I never find a lover again
What if I lose every one of my friends
Obsessive-complicated disaster disorder
Taking over
Judged, Juried, and executed
I’ll put an arrow through my head like I’m cupid
But this arrow doesn’t feel so heartfelt
This arrow doesn’t make your heart melt
I’ve tried a bath and a cup of tea
I tried filling me up with sertraline
I try and try but I feel no relief
I try and try to let the ground take me
I hate this gorgeous life of mine
I’m so ungrateful for the ounce of time
This over-complicated disaster disorder
Order Order
What if I never find a lover again
What if I lose every one of my friends
Obsessive-complicated disaster disorder
Taking over
What if I never find a lover again
What if I lose every one of my friends
Obsessive-complicated disaster disorder
Taking over
Lover again
Every one of my friends
Obsessive-complicated fucking disaster disorder
Order Order Order
Where is it
Where is it
Fuck
I don’t know where it fucking is
I don’t know what to do
Tell me what to do
I hate this gorgeous life
I’m so ungrateful for the ounce of time
Order is taking over
What if I never find a lover again
Order
Is taking over

Watch Me Die
03:38
|
|||
My head is bleeding as I hit to the floor
I've got your hands around my neck you've never been here before
Cos temptation is hell, hell is temptation
Gonna fucking burn with no revelations
I kiss my lady with the fear in my eyes
Feeling pure anxiety like I wanna die
Got no hope, no god, just down pour
No love no peace this cold war
I'm done burning candles at both ends
Melt the fucking thing to the ground
Pay to see how this will all end
Pain was only ever allowed
Cut myself to see me bleeding
Drown me out 'til i'm not alive
Lets not procrastinate this feeling
Watch me die
Watch me die
Watch me die
Watch me die
Watch me die
Watch me die
I'm done burning candles at both ends
Gonna melt the fucking thing to the ground
Pay to see how this will all end
Pain was only ever allowed
Cut myself to see me bleeding
Drown me out 'til i'm not alive
Lets not procrastinate this feeling
Watch me die
Watch me die
Watch me die
Watch me die
Watch me die
Parasite latching on to me
Coughing up the poison like I'm supposed to be
The end is nigh
The end is here
Hell is fucking empty all the devils are here
They've come to watch me die
Gonna watch me burn
They've come to watch me die
Gonna watch me, watch me die
Come on
They came to watch me die
Come on
Fuck

Cash Cow
03:53
|

Now that we walked round
We killed the cash cow
Don't be so brash now
Get on the lash now
Oh where's the money honey
This isn't funny honey
Now that we walked round
I killed the cash cow
Feel like the hang man
My money down the pan
I'm hearing bang bang
Still screaming gang gang
Before all hell broke loose
I couldn't breathe cause my lungs were bruised
I Murdered my modesty
I felt worse off honestly
But My lungs are filled with water
Father controls your daughter
Flowers that her lover bought her
He got angry, she got slaughtered
Now that we walked round
We killed the cash cow
Don't be so brash now
Get on the lash now
Oh where's the money honey
This isn't funny honey
Now that we walked round
We killed the cash cow
It's up in smoke now
Gag and we choke now
Grabbed by the throat now
Getting provoked now
I'm burnt out I've got no ambition
Poor kid I've been conditioned
Anxious about superstition
Complacency envisioned
If death be upon me promise I'll welcome it
I won't starve but my clothes are counterfeit
Still try, too scared to commit
Shot pint shot pint shot pint sick
Now that we walked round
We killed the cash cow
Don't be so brash now
Get on the lash now
Oh where's the money honey
This isn't funny honey
Now that we walked round
We killed the cash cow
Your good intentions
They don't mean a thing
When your sole purpose
Is to play the villain to everyone you have ever met
That's the end of the story
There's no more to it
The moneys all spent, and every single one of you have been nailed to the wall
Again
Now that we walked round
We killed the cash cow
Don't be so brash now
Get on the lash now
Oh where's the money honey
This isn't funny honey
Now that we walked round
We killed the cash cow
Now that we walked round
We killed the cash cow
Don't be so brash now
Get on the lash now
Oh where's the money honey
This isn't funny honey
Now that we walked round
I killed the cash cow

Selfish Desires
04:00
|
|||
I told myself I’d never seek revenge
Rotting fruit will fall by itself
What’s normal to the spider is chaos to the fly
I’ve been stung and I’ve been left to die
Broken bones and they ain’t healing right
Happiness feels so far out of sight
I’m feeling no pain now
It’s all gone away now
And everything I got right
We’re living quiet lives of desperation
And we are all born to trip and fall
No friends just faces to hate
Just faces to fall
We are nothing but skin and bone
broken people, it’s getting old
My selfish desires are so uninspired it’s coming up to blows
There’s a bullet in a bible now
Everything that was good has drowned
The flood gates are pouring out
The lovers are screaming
The poets still dreaming
The flowers are rotting out
Yeah they’re all rotting out
My head spinning like a carousel
Body aching and it starts to swell
I’m feeling the pain now
It’s all gone away now
I’m starting to fall in hell
We are nothing but skin and bone
Broken people, it’s getting old
My selfish desires are so uninspired it’s coming up to blows
it’s all coming up to blows
it’s all coming up to blow
it’s all coming up to blow
My head spinning like a carousel
Body aching and it starts to swell
I’m feeling the pain now
It’s all gone away now
I’m starting to fall in hell
We are nothing but skin and bone
Broken people, it’s getting old
My selfish desires are so uninspired it’s coming up to blow
it’s all coming up to blow
it’s all coming up to blow
it’s all coming up to blow
it’s all coming up to blow
I’ve been to hell and back and I still live this quiet life of desperation
