Monsters

Put my head down, on my pillow
Close my eyes but oh shit, oh no!
Creepin' thoughts invade my mind
And I light up my face to kill some time
Feelin' stuff and uncomfy
Put on some tunes and the bass is pumpin'
But now the veins are throbbing in my temples
A sinister lookin' creature
Clings to the wall like a stencil
Here comes the night again, It's calling
Here comes the dreams again, I'm falling
Here comes the night again, It's calling
The monsters under my bed
Are the ones in my head
I try to go to sleep, but I'm stuck
With the living dead
Now I'm tossin' and I'm turning
Mistakes from my past
Well they got me squirming
People hate me, contemplate me
I stand all alone
While they laugh right at me
And quite frequently, I'm haunted
By the memory of every little thing
That's ever been said to me
And at night when I finally close my eyes
I'm haunted by a coffin
With my corpse inside
Here comes the night again, It's calling
Here comes the dreams again, I'm falling
Here comes the night again, It's calling
The monsters under my bed
Are the ones in my head
I try to go to sleep, but I'm stuck
With the living dead

Can we just pretend
That every little thing
Doesn't need to end in bloodshed
We can’t still be friends
It's time to close the book
Cuz this is how the story ends
And I extended all my options
Now my patience is wearing thin
Catatonic
Claustrophobic
We imploded from within
All the letters you sent
You're living in the past
Now you spend your time with regret
You want to play this game?
Well nowadays
I’m no longer in that mind frame
And I extended all my options
Now my patiеnce is wearing thin
Catatonic
Claustrophobic
We implodеd from within
And now the day has come
I'll no longer follow you into the sun
And now the day has come
Won't follow you blindly
And now the day has come
I'll no longer follow you into the sun
And now the day has come
Won't follow you blindly
You can't make amends
The shit I went through
When cutting off my friends
It won't be the same
I needed fucking therapy
To get you out of my brain
And I extended all my options
Now my patience is wearing thin
Gas lighted
Fake fighted
We imploded from within
And now the day has come
I'll no longer follow you into the sun
And now the day has come
Won’t follow you blindly
And now the day has come
I’ll no longer follow you into the sun
And now the day has come
Won't follow you blindly
And now the day has come
I’ll no longer follow you into the sun
And now the day has come
Won't follow you blindly
And now the day has come
I'll no longer follow you into the sun
And now the day has come
Won't follow you blindly

Here For The Long Haul

Wasted, on the floor again
Wondering where the night has gone
Laughin like drunk hyenas
Fornicating til the morning comes
And that night
The mood was just right
To spend another
Drunken evening with you
And that night
The stars aligned right
To spend another
Drunken evening with you
Lately, I been kinda thinking
Have the good times come and gone
Snoring, lying on the sofa
With your comfy jammies on
But tonight
The mood is just right
To spend another
Drunken evening with you
And that night
The stars aligned right
To spend another
Drunken evening with you
Walkin' home
Dancing in the rain
Street lights hit
And brighten up your face
And I see the spark
Deep within your eye
And for once in a while
I don't feel dead inside
But tonight
The mood is just right
To spend another
Drunken evening with you
And that night
The stars aligned right
To spend another
Drunken evening with you
But tonight the moon was just right

Fake Tweed Dad
02:14
|

|
He bought a 4 by 4
That he doesn't need
Succumbed to the pressures
Of modern society
Moved down here
Cuz, the air is nice and clean
And give his kids a good up bringing
He bought a suit
Made entirely out of tweed
Moved to the country
But wellies are always clean
Fake tweed dad
Moved from London
To the countryside
Fake tweed dad
Changed his appearance overnight
Fake tweed dad
Just look around and you will find
A fake tweed dad
He got a working dog
That he didn't train
Tried to rehome it
After only a few days
He bought a house
Paid for it in cash
Gazumped the locals
Now we can't afford that
A pint of cider
And now he's on his knees
Brand new combine harvester
But won't give me the keys
Fake tweed dad
Moved from London
To the countryside
Fake tweed dad
Changed his appearance overnight
Fake tweed dad
Just look around and you will find
A fake tweed dad

Warning: Dystopia
04:09
|

I peak out of the window, to view the big wide world outside and
There alone standing on the corner is a man carrying a sign
He's dressed in all black and shouting at the people who walk on by
And written in red to look like blood
He proclaims it's time
And the end is nigh
A little while later who is standing there away across the street?
A mother and her child and she is hungry
Whilst queues for food banks line the streets,
and now the mother who is in tears,
Can't do right from not doing wrong.
It's going to be a long old winter when the heating can't be on
Now here's the ring leader who pulls a rabbit out a hat
But this only acts as a distraction
while his mate pickpockets from the back
Be wary of any man who's dressed up
In a fresh pressed suit and tie
They may talk the talk but
One way or another that fucker will bleed you dry
And while up there in their ivory towers
Way above the clouds
They laugh at all the insects while they beg and crawl around
So whilst you might think they care I know that it's not true
They put a price on everything and put a price on you
I make my way across the city under a smoggy sky
I raise my head and I can see the pollutants that slowly rise
Then out of sight and out of mind I spot out the corner of my eye
An aristocrat and he's paying hush money for the silence of his crimes
And meanwhile down an alley a snake gathers a crowd
Hissing a mess of untruths creating division all around
All the while proclaiming that he is just like you
Again it's just another lie for power he must accrue
Slowly I can't help to think that I might be losing my mind
Of my control, and my wellbeing with all this bullshit that I find
When I see the bombs drop, I hear children scream
Nothing but darkness as I wake up from those dreams
Again it's just another megalomaniac just another ego
Looking for a power grab
History repeats itself, still no lessons learned
When you outlaw peaceful protest It's not just human rights
That'll get burned
On our current projection
I know where we're heading
I know there ain't much time
But how do you prepare for dystopia if you ignore the warning signs?
I stagger back to the safety of the place I call my home
Don't want to speak to anyone, just leave me all alone
I ponder on the things I've seen, I've read and overheard
Then through the glass I'm stopped and I'm mocked
By a flock of little blue birds
I peak out the window to the view the big wide world outside
But there's no man on the corner
The one carrying the sign
I wonder what has happened and where could he be
I turn and face the mirror
And I realize that man's me

Joey think I should clean my guitar
Joey think I should clean my guitar
Joey think I should clean my guitar
Joey think I should clean my guitar
All this fuss for a bit of dust
What's the problem with a bit of rust
Bacterial infection on my skin
Telling me I should change my strings
Joey think I should clean my guitar
Joey think I should clean my guitar
Joey think I should clean my guitar
Joey think I should clean my guitar

Tomorrow Comes Today

Everybody's here with me
We got no camera to see
Don't think I'm all in this world
The camera won't let me roll
The verdict doesn't love our soul
The digital won't let me go
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll pay
When tomorrow
Tomorrow comes today
Stereo I want it on
It's taken me far too long
Don't think I'm all in this world
Don't think I'll be here too long
Don't think I'll be here too long
I don't think I'll be here too long
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll pay
When tomorrow
Tomorrow comes today
Don't think I'll be here too long
The digital won't let me go

Panic
02:40
|
|||
|
Heart racing, is this my last breath
It goes pump, pump, pump, pump, pump
Right outta my chest
Hands are sweating
And I'm forgetting
Every damn word
That your saying
And I can't seem to clear my mind this time
And when the feeling takes a hold
I don't know where to hide
There's only panic in my mind
My eyes are open wide
It's just chaos inside
There's only panic in my mind
Losing focus, and visions blurry
I smack, smack, smack, smack, smack
Up the side of my head
Heavy breathing and I'm reeling
From all these negative feelings
And I can't seem to clear my mind this time
And when the feeling takes a hold
I don't know where to hide
There's only panic in my mind
My eyes are open wide
It's just chaos inside
There's only panic in my mind
Trepidation takes a hold of me
I clutch my chest, it's getting
harder and harder to breath
All I hear is static in my headspace
Look at my reflection, see the look of dread in my face
(I think I'm better off alone)
Am I an addict to this panic?
As I'm always asymptomatic
(I think I'm better off alone)
And everyday it goes on and on
Plead for atonement for respite for one day
And it's gone
(I think I'm better off alone)
But it slowly eats away at me
Consuming every part of me
(I think I'm better off alone)
And here comes the wave
That we call fear and anxiety
I plead for the day
That people dont need to tell me to breath
And when the feeling comes
I don't know where to hide
There's only panic in my mind
My eyes are open wide
It's just chaos inside
There's only panic in my mind

Let's Press Reset
03:48
|
|||
|
This country's looking bleak tonight
The blues and twos go by, they're flashing so bright
A child has taken their final breath
Another innocent life, they failed to protect
And I'm feeling down on the world again
Can we just press reset
And start all over again
And I'm feeling down on the world again
Can we just press reset
And start all over again
Look what we've become
We chased the stars
But landed in the sun
The temperature gets hotter
Pour petrol on the fire
And it's going on for far too long
Look at what we forfeit
Destroyed our home
Just to turn a profit
The species are depleting
The coral reef is bleaching
And it's going on for far too long
And I'm feeling down on the world again
Can we just press reset
And start all over again
And I'm feeling down on the world again
Can we just press reset
And start all over a...
AND I'M FEELING DOWN!
And I'm feeling down on the world again
Can we just press reset
And start all over again
And I'm feeling down on the world again
Can we just press reset
And start all over again
