I open my eyes to naught but blue and white
A drift on the waves but lands in site
I reach for your hand
But you decline
Come one come all
Witness the end
God bless you all
For your bickering
I’m just so proud
What can I say
I guess it had to be this way
As we reach for the shore waves crash aboard
Our sinking ship
We’ll die quick
As you just deliberate
I guess if we can’t agree then it’s better that we all drown
Come one come all before we fall
We’re on the same end of this descent
How can we fight the tide
If we don’t unify
Welcome to the world (welcome to the world [As it could have been])
As it could have been (welcome one and all [As it should have been])
Welcome to the world (let me take you in [but this is what we have])
We’ll never have (so we can begin [drowning in ignorance])
You fought the wrong enemy but can you justify why

Purple fingertips caress the basin
Clocked the tenth they’re losing breath
Pitch black channels fill up with poison
These paths will lead to death
We are the heirs of a morbid fate
Of generations filling rich mens plates
Hereditary slaves of the nation state
Malignantly barred from the gate
Calloused finger tips grip a cigarette
Clocked the tenth they’re losing strength
Trapped within the infinite monkey cage
But no Shakespear is born of this oppressive wage
Bloodied fingertips craddle glass
The hour ticks down to the last
Hell has opened up
It's in the streets and the smog that surrounds us
There’s a gate in every spruced-up place
It’s got it jaws wrapped around us
We’re on the edge of the fall
This ends with us or it never ends at all

Reform To Ruin

Belial belies and snakes his way inside
The skin suit on the hollow frame
Leaching to achieve his aim and all his promised stars have died
Drawn to the centre and down
Dragged round and round and down we go
Succumbing to the vertigo
And twisted lies burn in my mind
Drawn to the centre and down

Dead metaphors, and similes purged
Not quite sure what you said with your verse but I’ll postulate
And if it’s preposterous just say but please, please please please shoot straight
Do you wanna fuck? Is that what you mean?
Cause the words you sing tend too mislead
Do you wanna fuck? Is that what you said?
Cause your lyrical prowess flew it over my head
Artistic leprosy, peels revealing the deep beneath what you said
And it’s beautiful, I finally see what you mean it’s all about the sweet, sweet sweet cream

Spectres In Decay

Too much to consume on my lonesome
To greedy and jaded to care
To quick will grow degradation
To slow will I grow to care
So let it grin in the eyes of the have nots
Locked tight right in their eyes
Goading them to take a try
But they can’t touch what is mine
You’re just like me
So just get on your feet
But while you’re still on the street
Don’t you dare touch my waste

Hey big boss man are you coming into work today?
I haven’t seen you in months
Hey Mr big bucks,
how many hours have I slaved while you took your fill?
Watch from the couch as I toil
Look out at the world that you’ve spoiled
From the comfort of your contemporary fortress
That I slaved, and I starved, and I worked all my life
So you could afford to purchase
Hey Mr baller, what time do you call this?
Or is that rule just for me how fucking dare you call me lazy as you
Watch from the couch as I toil
Look out at the world that you’ve spoiled
From the comfort of your contemporary fortress
That I slaved, and I starved, and I worked all my life
So you could afford to purchase
Parade around in a plastic crown
Born to play the king but we know that you’re a sloth in wolves clothes

I’m just trying to get through but you keep telling me what I should be
Addicted to the form of the perfect make an enemy out of me
Better pay up cause beauty don’t come cheap
At least not for me
Mirror mirror in my hand
Reflecting something I can’t stand
Help me I've falled so deep
Into the blue hole indebted to the screen
How can I think straight if I can’t look at myself
Better pay up cause perfect ain’t free
At least not for me
Mirror mirror in my hand
Please show me something I can stand
Cast it into the fire
Drop the deadweight
Cast it off of the mountain
And rise up
I refuse to be your slave
