Don't throw stones in your glass house
It'll only lead to disaster
Your quest for self improvement
Stifled by your fear of change
It's detrimental but you won't learn
It's like your hands are clutching your own throat
Only gripping tighter as you try to let go
Your actions reflecting back
Molesting yourself as you try to fuck everything else
Malcontent with the changing tide
You'd better just ride the fucker out

Without a care you are the master of your world
Everything is under complete control
A fissure is forming in your confidence
Accompanied by a wave of bad luck
Winding up
Takes a big swing
Aimed right at
Your fucking face
Some days you're the hammer
Some days you're the teeth
Experiencing life's unique brand of backstreet dentistry
Collected all the fragments of your fractured soul
Found the strength to carry on
Something comes to kick the bucket
Out from under just to watch you hang
Some days you're the hammer
Some days you're the teeth

Morse Code
04:54
|
|||
Clicking
The horrifying sound
As you type your petty assault
Shallow lies and empty threats
Are all you have to offer
Tapping Morse code
Save their poor souls
From your raging
Ignorance
Discriminate all who are different
Just because you can
All you hate is out of fear of
What you don't understand
Tapping Morse code
Save their poor souls
From your raging
Ignorance

Hollow
03:25
|

Your name contaminates my breath
As it passes my lips
It will never taste the same
The words are hollow to me now
They lack the warmth you craved
Go find it somewhere else
I'm clearly just too cold
You have moved on from your attraction
To permanent solutions for your temporary problems
Your name contaminates my breath
As it passes my lips
It will never taste the same

Doomsday Clock
05:48

The dust settles as all around turns to ash
Our recklessness has brought around our own extinction
Sirens scream their crying fills the air
Signal the end as the zero hour strikes
Mushroom clouds eclipse the sun
Their blinding light engulfs the sky
And we will be wiped out
In a single flash
Fingers on the button waiting for any old excuse
To slam it down and quickly wipe their problems away
All their work they claim to be all for the greater good
For them it seems better to destroy than to rebuild
The clock it ticks
Midnight draws near
Paralysed by
Atomic fear
Mushroom clouds eclipse the sun
Their blinding light engulfs the sky
And we will be wiped out
In a single flash

Dreams of the screen
To see her name in bright lights
Her legacy is not what she had hoped
Prowling the boulevard clothed in black
Darker than midnight on a moonless night
And oh how she smiled as if her life depended on it
Like if she didn't she'd break in half
Lacerate
Exsanguinate
Fraction it
Carve the grin
Nothing lights up a girl's face
Quite like a Glasgow smile

Green Bastard
02:25
|

Wanting what you'll never have
You never settle for all you can get
This obsession is not healthy
That green bastard will drive you insane
Wanting what you'll never have
You never settle for all you can get

Don't panic
This is the new beginning that you were hoping for
Unfortunately it won't come easy
Whoever said change would be painless
It takes blood and sweat to part a cursed wreck
You must breakdown to build yourself up
This obsolete shell serves no purpose
Discard the husk you inhabit
Step forward and be reborn
Step out of the shadows
And into the light

Slipping further into the void
I can't help but think of what might of been
But it's too late for that now
Things are just too far gone
Now I am left with the choices made
Now the gash widens it's smile
Taunts me with laughter
Who's the joke on now
I seemed to have lost track
I didn't want this
It has become too
Much for me
I have to leave
It's cold and it's dark
A vacuum of nothing
Suffocating emptiness
That cannot be filled

Night of Glass

Into the night
A brick through a window
Showers down
Crystal rain
Clear out the shelves
Everything goes
The market has crashed
It's burning down

Leather Apron

The glistening blade
Lets forth a glorious stream of red
That drips down
And stains the cobbles a perfect shade
Life drains from the eyes as they slip away
To hide the child that should not be
I remove the heart from it's cage
I slash the face clean off the bone
One day man will look back and say
That I gave birth to the twentieth century
Five will
Meet their end
All my work
For the crown
Five will
Meet their end
All my work
For the crown
