I didn't mean to be so overly demanding
I didn't mean to be so clinically mundane
The double beating in my heart has stopped responding
I think I mustered up a new kind of pain
CHORUS
Its a blast
Its another year of endless shame
Put the tick into the box and call out bingo
And join the singers in the pointless refrain
My name is on your lips in gobbledegook lingo
There's something niggling at the back of my brain
CHORUS

Torture
03:25

|
To tear apart by cunning and stealth
You tested my desire vs mental health you know
Call it intuition after all
It only takes a statement until you fall
I took the tickle and the punch
It's not the first day of the month
Pleading to fill my begging bowl
Left in this dirty darkened hole
I wear the bruises like a badge
It will not go down as a first class catch at all
Pull me up by the scruff of the neck
Regurgitate a crazed and dumb name check
Only half the monikers are real
Tell me how you really feel
CHORUS
Harness and chains I crave the sunlight
These are not chains at all
Breathlessly feel the hands strange tight
We've hit another brick wall
Oh hear the grown cry
So watch the cat on its ninth life
Burn it up with fuel that you have syphoned off
Add me to a list of good and bad
Pity for the fool that bypassed mad
Chuckle as the skin it starts to peel
Tell me how you really feel
CHORUS

Eyesore

CHORUS
I saw a mighty fall - Its such an eyesore
All alone and broken bone
Well that's what I saw
My body awkward
Never too cool for school
I don't have no regrets
I'm a thinker not a fool
I've fallen flat a few times
But just twice right on my face
Though the end is drawing nearer
I still feel in a good place
CHORUS
Need no reunion
Well the thought just makes me sick
I'm not bitter or frustrated
But wonder what makes you tick
The thought of you just blinds my eyes
So I'd rather not think
But I cannot hold my nose too long
And you, you truly stink
CHORUS
So many paths to take in life
I took the wrong one once
Where the woman stays at home
And the huntsman hunts and hunts
And I do not mind the hunting
But I hate the sight of blood
When the blood is all on my hands
And I feel misunderstood
CHORUS
I'm glad I closed the heavy door
And left nothing ajar
But I always feel you watching
Every move I make afar
Whatever time I wasted
Whatever time I've left
I'll cherish every moment
Because each day is a gift
CHORUS
You're such an asshole

What a Life

We run on limited sleep here
We are running a race against the time
The direction is set and clear
Its for others to stand back, stand in line
Have you seen the itinerary?
Sit back down and enjoy all that's unfurled
Standing firm through adversity
Though its tough we would not swap it for the world
CHORUS
Keep a stock full of ammunition
(What's the river trash you've been fishin')
We're not scared of anything
No not at all
Can I offer just on admission?
I'm the vandal spraying walls on which I scrawl "what a life"
What a life!
We run on limited sleep here
Its overrated and a waste of all our time
Shall we pour out a cold beer?
We're doing good
Oh hell we're doing oh so fine
CHORUS
