Damage Addict
Sunset Gunfrom the moment I woke,
in receipt of a blackmail note,
and all of these curious eyes,
a new disease of the last seen eyes,
a live christ in the city,
I got my black-eyed mind,
I'm gonna poison up the wrong way round,
like a bad design.It's in the way that I'm cold,
left dealing with a famished soul,
I won't give you the time,
it's greed sparked in a goldmine,
I can't view your condition,
it's as failed as they come,
great failures are forced into our famished eyes
with a gun.It's in the way that I'm cold,
left dealing with a famished soul,
it's all as fake as they come,
burn my eyes like a sunset gun.Your point of collapse-
my mark of indifference,
its all as fake as they come,
burn my eyes like a sunset gun,
it's not like you care,
even at my insistence,
its all as fake as they come-
burn my eyes like a sunset gun.I won't give you the time,
it's grief sparked in a goldmine,
its in the way that i'm cold,
left dealing with a famished soul,
its all as fake as they come,
burn my eyes like a sunset gun.

bullet, door, implore reclaim a crimson fuse,
break weight, under gun resolved,
sick and solvent blister baby, black absolvedStones' throw, strangled vice will crawl,
steady, sordid uniform on hangman's' wall,

Scissor QuickstepAll aboard, the ride goes faster,
being driven by the spooky bastard,
look left, dirt infested,
living large with the debt invested.Gung ho, Mr. Murder,
could be a while but you look no further,
snip, snip, scissor quickstep,
cut the line, you are out of your depth.Bring home the bacon bastard,
a meaty fringe in a leather casket,
fuck that - I eat my offspring,
hang myself on a leather heartstring.Cut the page from the new york times,
see I'm not so bad after all,
you'll never get held in my outstretched arms,
cos I won't catch you when you fall,
pull the trigger at your picnic table,
take the scissors from your baby doll,
you'll never get to heaven with a face like that,
and I won't catch you when you fall.Flick flick, another station,
listen hard but I'm losing patience,
another aim, absurdist brainwash,
another bent pair of scissor (?)Sick baby - move at a hearbeat,
when I'm bloody on a (?) bedsheet,
blood bitch (?) reflex,
another bent pair of scissor defects.Here baby - I'm out to get you,
a broken heart in a broken test tube,
a virus scare for those who care,
don't look alive cos you'll go nowhere.Cut the page from the new york times,
see I'm not so bad after all,
you'll never get held in my outstretched arms,
'cos I won't catch you when you fall,
pull the trigger at your picnic table,
take the scissors from your baby doll,
you'll never get to heaven with a face like that,
and I won't catch you when you fall.
Blame and DemandWe have been worthless,
we have been safe,
in minds belittled by the threat,
of our own ice age.A fall distorts us,
and where we've been,
rewriting bastards as contenders-
sight unseen,
In place of angels,
butchers hands,
too wide to fit through
doors of virtue,
blame, demand.Blame and demand.
We count for distance,
from human nerves,
we count for all the things we take,
that we don't deserve,
all contradictions
will make us stand
to fake the end as the beginning
blame, demand.Blame and demand.

King MobKing mob in a plastic iceberg,
smoking water damaged cigarettes,
observe as he works your wasteland,
pulling punches that you never met,
controlled in a listless airstream,
jets are breathing in his latex eyes,
true to form he is scared to touch them,
and your wasteland stays vandalized.Success in a cut-glass wardrobe,
all the clothes loose like shredded hair,
dream escapes to a closet class-war,
king mob in a smashed wheel chair,
nerve gas for the walking wounded,
suffocating in a sadists' prayer,
flaming horses on a fading landscape,
break the surface but there is no air.King mob as he vents his anger,
throws a brick through the city gates,
backfires on his wordless offspring,
the population disintegrates,
cold stream plus a wash of carbon,
drives his mind like an engine room,
cogs turning like a flawed stage whisper,
king mob sings a lifeless tune.Surface
Stop
Pressure
Drop
King mob.Faded wrists and the risks worth taking,
cleans his blade with dreams he froze,
metal moments fed on foreign textures,
breaks his mind with the things he knows,
King mob at his withered console,
electric arcades run on secret oils,
flicks a switch and he's the god of anger,
pulls a handle and the wasteland spoils.
Age of UrgesCan't move the age of urges,
indecent power surges,
I can lose my sight,
it ain't worth seeing you,
reversed in light,
you seem to split in two,
beneath the age,
warped, innocent and left intact,
the urge of age,
turn, reconcile, take it back,
my eyes are cursed and darting,
and the shots ring out the same.Ring the bell if you're hungry,
you've started fighting for less,
fill a hole with your money,
it's all second best.Break through the force of nature,
drape blinds on all your answers,
you'll never fall,
unless we tell you to,
against the wall,
you seem to split in two,
the word is out:
bad liars case an unlit mind,
too loud to shout
when you drown aloud in turpentine,
force fed, your insults ended,
and the words repeat the same.
Top Ten SeveredI am your top ten severed,
I am your number one,
reduced to fictions dancefloor,
and take delirium,
a man of seasoned syndromes,
programming mysteries,
a man of useless incomes,
forgotten litanies.You want some answers quickly,
you write down nothing wrong,
and I inquire discreetly,
about your favorite song,
it starts all good intentions,
it ends with falling hearts,
did I forget to mention,
it plays before it starts.You cannot play this record,
its' grooves are dressed to kill,
all daylight frames per second,
the chances are you will,
bring out your dancing party,
fill up your little room,
your silver eyes enchanted,
they glide and shoot the moon.I am your one hit wonder,
your christmas giveaway,
I am your stolen thunder,
your "no love left today"
a frozen sound diminished,
out on the radio,
the song is never finished...
The Peepshow GhostsBaby, why'd you wake me?
is it my idea of eyes, a thousand sleeping eyes,
it's creeping up to you,
like peepshow ghosts they do,
a sorry fault of mine,
will take you back in time.The peepshow ghosts will fade away
and reappear in you,
and if my dead darling stays away,
she will break my heart in two.The booths all ragged style,
you crawled that extra mile,
where the woman ends and shame begins,
the world can read your mind,
the girl can make you blind,
all hostage stolen flesh,
will nail you to the rest.I dreamed about the faithless,
I asked them passers by,
could you wake me if I start to shake,
if I should start to cry,
remind me of my crime,
and every fault of mine.When bitter starts to turn around,
and bites your swollen face,
the stolen stabbing darkness,
the nakedness and starkness,
will kill you if you stay,
too near to hear just pray.
StatelessYou hide high speed out of engine greed,
and don't stop to look the world you bleed,
cars carousel on an unmade bed,
drive the point home after what you said.Still life in an apocalypse,
add some dirt to your endless list,
force fed freedom defaced your will,
adds an age to the time you kill.this is you - stateless
Stateless, stateless
candidates are waiting,
you can't open up
'cos your hands are shaking,
waste not, want not,
images blurred,
sugar coated bullet words.Crime spread wide on an ill timed night,
vanishing point after homicide,
wait, bear arms out of threat or thrill,
don't breathe around 'cos they scare you still.Cold conviction for remembered threats,
faded flames burn you with no regrets,
new exposure to an old disease,
breaks the surface with a sense of need.Decaying distance cuts the clock in two,
and sends the time back to remember you,
graveyard name change, unconditioned spit,
resolve recorded in a different light.this is you - stateless inside
ExpandSomeone leans against the mirrored marvel,
reflecting rascal, anaemic article,
the part you least expected,
it commands, expand.A flawless life form, the lowest level,
rejects the offer, you carried further,
the talk is all so loaded,
when you can expand.Expand to reach a surface suffocated,
shown equipment too large to break,
you lunge yourself to the underground,
got to expand, got to expand, expand.A meager mission yields amazing purpose,
rebuilds your offer and flies it homewards,
its' past tense past attention
when you land, expand.A stranger grips upon your face upturning,
you thrive on battle, you try to settle,
a prayer for making minus,
in the hand, expand.The perfect host for the endless story,
the missing motion, the frozen ghost,
the heart stops part achieving,
when you stand, expand.
DenialSomething more graceful felt like leading you to war,
it sounds so distasteful, more than what you're fighting for,
more flights of stairs derailed, your ascent it falls so slow,
your body and love impaled on the spikes you left below.Grief turned to currency just like midas touched it black,
like rage in its' infancy, you're afraid it might turn back,
a flag slashed by injured nights in a fist outside your past,
waves only eclipsed by fright in its' glory at half-mast.You can't beat denial, it's the murder of your past,
a line drawn hard and broken down,
to lie outside your grasp,
I fooled you by way of greed but it opened up your eyes,
too deep down in your hallowed nerves
but it came as no surprise.Your silent servant dragged abyss across the ground,
to wallow sleeplessly on everything you found,
afraid lasts a lifetime and it crosses paths with mine,
lost fades its' energy, in the end we both but shrine.So ends disgraceful, ride me back to where I rain,
controlled and quarantined,
unpure, distressed and stained
your war so makeshift, as if a path through broken seas,
your faith so restless as you turn to talk to me.
BroadcastingFractured signs, they waste my time,
they concentrate, they take what's mine,
lost they move like fractured ghosts,
to empty heads in empty lines.Trapped in frames of empty films,
a war is flat, in frames they kill,
light will char and edits cut,
they broadcast stare-
they know they must.Faded raids before they fold
into themselves
it's done I'm told,
acting last repeats to last
and beats you back
when credits rolled.Build yourself a fame through fire
and douse it out
when you require,
list your age on lilac page
strength in a crawl
back to the stage.When it's obvious they're not scared of us
they will drag you back to cold,
all film burnt at source, much too fast of course
they will drag you back for more
when your wish runs out they will make you doubt
they will drag you back for more
when your frame runs dry minds will start to fly
they will break before they fold.Broadcasting once
Broadcasting twice
Broadcasting one two three four five.
