You Are The Disease
03:10
|
|

I got this shakin’ I can’t take it, crawling in my skin / I’m burning up then freezing cold, don’t know where to begin / black and blue, what can I do? I hyperventilate / when I’m near you my brain goes numb but I can’t keep away / You are the disease eating away at me / You are the disease and I can't even breathe / Respiration, perspiration, I can’t sleep at night / You put me under, I’m a goner, gonna lose this fight / every time you’re near I feel like I can’t catch my breath / This fever, can't explain, I'm heading to uncertain death / my head is hot, my chest is tight / I'm giving in and heading into the light / I'm afflicted so addicted / you keep getting closer and I keep getting sicker

Dare Say (We Don't Care)
01:41
|
|
||
I'm living in the past before my demise / I got a burnin' skull & two flaming eyes / it's getting hard for me to see the light / but I'm still going 'cos I'm feelin' alright / you kick us down but we won't stay long / up and punchin' by the end of the song / we're never right but refuse to be wrong / my brain's been kicked in by an atomic bomb / dare say we don't care so ya better beware / I've given up being civilised / walking round just waiting to die /disconnect and turn out the lights / I'm smashing clocks to pass the damn time

Circling The Drain
03:23
|
|
||
I can’t sleep again It’s ringing in my head / that feeling’s coming back balance in the red / I’m circling the drain / can’t sleep, feel smothered / one thing after another / I work for nothing / just make your wallets fatter / can’t sleep, feel smothered / climbing this endless ladder / I work for nothing / just make your wallets fatter / can’t face this place today It’s messing with my brain / I can’t get ahead It’s always something else / awake at 4am / can’t get these thoughts to quit / my shoulders always ache / feels like there’s no escape / just paying interest can’t get in the black / lining pockets of landlords and banks / silent selfish protect their concerns / bitter, spiteful don’t care who gets burned

You're Poison
03:13
|
|
||
Just deep in denial, to others own ends / no noble design, just following rats / believing lies again, smoke mirrors, sleight of hand / and you just get sucked in, played to hollow biases / blame the cards and not the trick / clouded by your hate again / I hope you know how this will end, left behind and left for dead / I don’t know what to do / you’re poison just wanna keep away from you / I’m turning black and blue / you’re poison just wanna keep away from you you bought the snake oil, disguised as your hate / so deep in denial/ I hope you know you’ve been played / and you think it’s someone else’s fault / you’re the reason it’s all going wrong

Regret! Regret! Regret!
02:31
|
|
||
I'm walking down the street I regret my steps / I open my mouth I regret my words / I try to crack a smile but my mouth don't work / Just wishing I was dead / I try to make a joke and it comes out wrong / I look you in the eyes and you think I’m a creep / I spent all my nights dreaming deep in regret / kick me in the head / regret anxiety regret / I’m bored all the time of doing circles in my mind / every waking moment getting over-analysed / every decision made wrong every time / feeling like I’m dying / regret it lingers in head anxiety regret

Static Shake
03:04
|
|
||
Got this current running through my bones and I can't control it / every moment endless twitching you can't ignore it / crossed my wires, I’m alive ‘cos you’re magnetic / blacking out, you’re making me ‘cos I can’t reject it / it’s undeniable so what I can I do? I’m burning up whenever I’m around you / you blow my mind, I’m plugging in / when I’m not shaking I can’t wait to begin / I got the static shake, I’m turning electric / every time we touch, yeah you know it’s infectious / static shake, I’m turning electric / blowing my mind / my hairs are on end and my eyes turning white / don’t believe in god but I saw the light / I short circuit 'cos you're too much to take / my fingers shiverin’ my toes start to ache

I Need To Make You Bleed
01:27
|
|
||
No hope, no shame, pathetic empty brain / drive me insane, want you to feel some pain / I need to make you bleed / you talk, I wince, I pray you don’t exist / I can’t endure, for you there is no cure / no substance, just surface, you serve no living purpose / bottom feeding, my ears bleeding, can't wait till your heart stops beating

Outta My Head
02:23
|
|
||
Another day here and I struggle to take it no interest or intent to start caring / I clock in, head down and pretend 8 hours a day living inside my head / another night, didn’t sleep as I head in bus always late, stuck in the rain such a great start / emails and threads of not good enough / I stay silent (but) in my head I erupt / yeah yeah going outta my head / moaning complaining’ bitching petty behaviour / backstabbing culture in this trivial labour / I’m punching in and tuning out of this place / I gotta get out ‘cause I’m turning irate

What We Do Is Pointless
02:04
|
|
||
Waiting for the bus and they never show up and head to a job where they don't respect you / wasting your all days with people full of hate who shout and scream and want to hurt you / what we do is pointless, every moment joyless welcome to the world of your employment / minimum wage and scorn and hate and break your back to be exploited / we should be walking out the door my debts won’t let me afford / they're Taking you for granted, made to feel useless / giving you abuse replacements waiting / always in debt and can't afford the rent for squalor, mould and broken boilers

Have You Had Enough?
03:22
|
|
||
It’s waiting in darkness / it lingers under surface / trying to get to you / trying to undermine you / stuck inside and left alone / broken homes and brittle bones / close the curtains block the sun / waiting for the night to come / keep shaking, head aching feel empty, close to breaking / trying to destroy you / rewiring all that was good

Break Yer Bones
03:02
|
|
||
Break yer bones, cos i got nothing better to do than pick on you / take a hammer to your face and watch the blood flow down the drain / you say we’re always having fun, but we always get our homework done / break your bones cos i’m bored and I need a fix of ultraviolence / smashed up bottles, nails and flames to keep me in this stable state
