LORD HAVE MERCY
The Bull and the Bear
A King for a King
The Dream is somewhere
But we’ve not seen a thing
If you wanna take
You can’t take it all
If You want the sky
then the skies gotta fall
The thousand yard stare
A street full of tears
We’ve looked everywhere
But it’s been 60 years
Lord Have Mercy
God Forbid
If they find out
what you did
The land of the free
The home of the Brave
The Owner of debts
that can never be paid
The land of disease
Built on bones of the slave
Can never repair (be free)
and can never be saved
Lord Have Mercy
God Forbid
If they find out
what You did
Lord Have Mercy
I cant breathe
Doesn’t matter
what You believe
Dreams in daylight
Black and white
See the nightmare
night after night
If you wanna take
You can’t take it all
If You want the sky
then the skies gotta fall

MOUTHBREATHER
He lies with everything he says.
We lie with everything we’ve said.
You can’t teach him
You can’t teach him
You can’t teach him, anyway.
She lies with everything she says.
I lie with everything I said.
But don’t tell anyone
Don’t tell anyone
Don’t tell anyone anyway
Don’t tell anyone
Don’t tell anyone
Don’t tell anyone anyway
You can’t teach him
You can’t teach him
You can’t teach him anyway
Don’t tell anyone
Don’t tell anyone
You cant tell anyone, anyway
Don’t tell anyone I cant feel
Don’t tell anyone I don’t feel
Can’t anyone anyway
You can’t tell anyone
I don’t feel, I can’t feel, anyway.

THE HUNTED
See us all like foxes underground
See us all there living safe and sound
See those foxes living in the streets
See them pulling thorns out their feet
But in the UK,
They have streets made of gold
What do you care?
You’ll just do what you’re told
See the foxes living underground.
See the foxes living safe and sound.
Hear the blood that’s falling from their feet,
Like scarlet ribbons moving sound.
Get ready for the hand that feeds
To be the one that holds you down.
But in the UK,
They have streets made of gold
What do you care?
You’ll just do what you’re told
In the UK,
They got streets made of gold
What do you care?
We all do what we’re -
Even the sun goes down;
Start over, over.
The clouds are low tonight.
October’s over.
Get ready for the hand that feeds
To be the one that holds you down
But in the UK,
They have streets made of gold
What do you care?
You’ll just do what you’re told
In the UK,
They got streets made of gold
What do you care?
We all do what we’re -

THE PALE SAND
When they find out that you can’t pay
When they get desperate they’ll send you away
I’ve seen it happen before, I’ll see it happen again
I’ll watch them open the door, I’ll see them hold your hand
If you want to be part of their crowd
Don’t bring your head up, don’t talk to loud
Pretty faces never attack,
They keep their knives in your back
Part of the pale sand
This is the water over my head
This is my problem until i’m dead
This was my body covered in waves
This is my hatred stretched out for days
If you go strange in Normaltown
Don’t lift your voice up, Keep your head down
With nothing left I’ll turn to the sea,
And wait for the waves to take me
Part of the pale sand
I had to keep my name on the shelf
They buy the names for themselves
Part of the pale sand

JUST LIKE FILM
You could die young
Or die alone; abandoned.
Last night I dreamt
I knew what love was
Blood on a sidewalk
And if your town
Won’t let you in,
They hold you under.
My lazy demons
Reassure me
They’ll stay forever.
Abandon
If you could be alone
Then you should be alone.
You could die young
Or die alone.
Last night I dreamt
I knew what love was.
Abandon

FASTER! SLEEPLESS
Act like you don’t know if they ask you
People only do what they have to
And you’ve got to be steady,
At the ready, waiting for blood
I start my life without the emotions
Chasing horses into the oceans
And I had to be steady,
At the ready, waiting for blood
By the way, I keep the books,
By the way, to burn the pages.
Take the white waters from my body
Take the white waters from my body
Build our sound on another’s vision
Send our words without a decision
And we’ll have to be steady,
At the ready, waiting for blood
By the way, I keep the books,
By the way, to burn the pages.
Take the white waters from my body
Take the white waters from my body
Spend your time on the past if it suits ya
You’ve got nothing to learn from the future
Take the white waters from your body
Take the white waters from your body

DEADBOY
My heart is beating and getting older
My blood is running and getting colder
Well I get weary and sick of trying
I’m tired of living and scared of dying
Deadboy
There’s a certain kind of cool that comes from living
In a house on Boulevard
But i’m not gonna pay the extra fucking rent
Just so I can tell my friends how my life is hard
Fuck your trust fund
Deadboy
Everybody wants to rule the world
And no-one’s gonna take the time to do it.
If you’re mad, you should know by now
No-one’s gonna pay to listen to it
Everybody wants to see the world
No-one’s gonna take the time to do it.
And if you’re sad, you should know by now
No-one’s gonna stay to listen to it
Well I get weary and sick of trying
I’m tired of living and scared of dying
Deadboy
