Early morning lyricising and I don’t know what to write
Maybe fake an English accent and it will turn out alright.
Rhyming write with right is lazy but I’m such a lazy boy
I should use a rhyming dictionary but I’m too annoyed.
Annoyed
Destroyed
Paranoid
Overjoyed
Moving in a new direction
That’s just what I want to do
Nobody will even hear it anyway not even you
Guitars, bass, effects, and synthesizers
Sitting on my shelf
To make music for the masses
The masses being myself
I’m Lost in a sea
Of obscurity
My reason to be
Is for you to hear me
I don’t know if I want to go to the pub or have a wank
Get me some bangers & mash, you twat!

I’m shackled by lust
Just shackled by lust
And I don’t know what to do about it
The billboard says that Jesus can set us free
But what’s he going to do?
Will he help find me someone just as depraved as myself to get ourselves off in a fury of sins of the flesh?
I’m shackled by lust
Just shackled by lust
And I don’t know what to do about that
The billboard says that Jesus can set us free
But what’s he going to do?
Will he give me a reach around in the confessional booth and whisper in my ear that there’s more where that came from?
Why would an omniscient diety give people basic impulses only to then demand we not act upon them? That makes no sense at all. Older religions had gods and goddesses who celebrated human pleasures.
Venus
Aphrodite
Freyja
Cupid
Eros
Juno
Just to name a few. And then along come the christians to yuck our yum! What’s up with that? Jesus hung out with prostitutes and weirdos and yet his modern followers have some real hang ups. How can churches so unironically sadomasochistic be so negative toward non procreative sex?
We want to pray to a sex positive Jesus. Now join us in prayer.
Oh God
Oh God
Ooooooooooh God…

How Soon is Never?
02:12
|

|
Ain’t never going back to normal.
How great was normal anyway?
I said we ain’t never getting back to normal
Not tomorrow and certainly not today
Things ain’t never gonna be the same again
No such thing as the good old days.
There’s too many people making stupid decisions
Putting safety of others
Behind their petty convenience
We can still have some good times
But they’re few and far between
I said there’s still some fun to be had
But it’s a real slog in between
Gone are the days when we could do what we want
They might never again be seen.
Millions of people making selfish decisions breeding new variations that will plague us forever
They push for how soon that things to go back to normal
And all I can say to them is how soon is never

I'm a Star!
03:27
|

|
I try to stay afloat but I am drowning
I try to remain positive but I am always frowning
Why do I even bother trying?
To pretend that life’s Ok is simply lying
I am just starring in this shit show
I am the star of my own bloody awful shitty shit show
I am just starring in this shit show
The show is shit but at least I am the star
Everything has gotten so expensive
indignities of capitalist systems are just so extensive.
Pushing me past my breaking point again.
And that point keeps moving further than it’s ever been
I am just starring in this shit show
I am the stupid star of my own awfully trashy shit show
I am just starring in this shit show
The show is shit but at least I am the star
Bridge:
Good luck getting help for the pain
Fix it yourself or go insane
Nobody has time to help your brain
Just run around and run around again and again.
There’s a new exciting version of disease
Stop playing and just end all this collective suffering if you please
It’s all a cruel form of a tease
To serve such tiny portions of a life with ease
I am just starring in this shit show
I’m the pathetic star of my own awful tragic shit show
I am just starring in this shit show
The show is shit but at least I am the star
The show is shit but at least I am the star
The show is shit

Shades of Brown
03:29
|
|||
|
Life is not in black and white but many shades of brown
That’s why I’m down
And I say
That I can’t take another day
Processing such difficulties every single day
It takes my focus away
From everything you say to me and I’m
Broken down
Broken down
In shades of brown
Yesterday seemed normal but the pain is back today
When will these troubles go away?
They always seem to stay with me
I’m running rounds in circles that are ever winding down
Stuck in this town
Just like some tragic clown and I’m
Broken down
Broken down
In shades of brown

Wrong
03:48
|
|||
|
It’s all wrong
It’s all wrong again
Was feeling strong
But the weakness is my friend
I just don’t know what to do anymore
Nothing seems to make any sense
What’s the goddamn point of any of this
I’m up to my neck in stress
One crisis after the next
With no perceivable end in sight
It’s all wrong
It’s all wrong again
Was feeling strong
But the weakness is my friend
It’s out of control x4
What is it doing to my soul
It’s out of control x4
And it’s crushing my soul
I’m out of control x4

Fun
03:43

|
The bad guys have won
It’s over and done
There’s nowhere to run
This is the end and it’s just begun
Might as well have fun!
The ice caps are melting
The oceans are boiling
Everyone quit their jobs but your boss he keeps you toiling
Our planet is dying
Our leaders are lying
We are all fucked every last one
Might as well have fun!
Did the dinosaurs have a party
While the asteroid came to town
Like them we’re heading toward extinction
And that’s no time to settle down
Fun! Drink all the wine
Fun! Smoke all the weed
Fun! Have all the sex
Fun! Do what you want
