The organs you arrived with
Have been taken in your sleep
The scars have always been there
We're just unable to perceive
Have you seen decay?
Can you smell the rot?
The marrow has been replaced
With glitter and styrofoam
The sinew is tradition
And the bloods begun to clot
"You can trust your instincts
Look our scalpel's made from flesh and bone"
Wait they've removed my entrails
and attached them to their throne
Have you seen decay?
Can you smell the rot?
Cancer
Cut out the cancer
Cut out the cancer
We are all benign
Have you seen decay?
Can you smell the rot?
Cancer
Cut out the cancer
Cut out the cancer
We are all benign

They say you knew
And yet you blindly continued
The selfish, witless, aimless
Welcome to the radioactive wasteland!
Did you know that they blamed cows for getting us into this mess?
(What cows?!)
Yeah, cows!
Colonise the mountains
We've gotta live at the top
Some of us still want to be here
So that’s why we can't stop
We can’t stop
They say you knew
And your parents knew too
That the damage was still yet to come
So we're asking you, what did you do?
Where were you when the water started to come underneath the door?
Did you bury your friends in coffins made from recycled paper straws?
Colonise the mountains
We've gotta live at the top
Some of us still want to be here
So that’s why we can't stop
We can’t stop
The blood will be washed from your hands
The sea will take care of that
Have you done your daily government mandated hour of not breathing?
Gotta get that CO2 down, bro
Colonise the mountains
We've gotta live at the-
Some of us still want to be here in ten years
So that's why we can’t stop
It's lapping at your ankles now
Irreversible only meant one thing
It won't stop
(And it will never be the same again)
This is now

Phantom Comfort

Meaningful power eludes me
Enacting any real change is far beyond my control
Or so it seems
Which may as well be the same thing
The future is to be feared
Just not enough to do anything about it
Life finds a way
To ruin your plans anyhow
I try my best to fight the rot
Stand when I can and crawl on when I can not
I strive every day
To be better
These statements offer temporary respite
From my nihilist blue stupor
But they're no cure
We treat the symptoms first I suppose
Only ever cutting the shoots instead of the killing the roots
But perhaps thats just the best we can hope for
Taking the edge off
With phantom comfort

"Do you know what the feminists want now?
They wanna cancel Christmas
You can’t even sing baa baa black sheep
And benefits are ridiculous"
This has been a long time coming
Been asking for it for years
I’m all done washing up and
I’ve had a couple of beers
You’re the reason Grandma’s crying
This is all on you
That hasn’t been okay to say
Since 1952
Brace for impact
Cos here comes the tackle
Their spine bends back
I’m feeling stronger than Ethel
I haven’t spoken to Auntie Jean in 18 months
I ain’t got time for her racist schtick
No, I ain’t got time for much
Yeah
"I had to work back in my day
To get as much as a smack from my dad"
It seems to me political correctness is
Not the thing that’s mad
Where have you been for the last few decades?
With your head in the sand?
It’s time for an exorcism
Let me give you a hand
Brace for impact
Cos here comes the tackle
Their spine bends back
I’m feeling stronger than Ethel
I haven’t spoken to Auntie Jean in 18 months
I ain’t got time for her racist schtick
No, I ain’t got time for much
Oh no
What kind of person do I wanna be?
The kind of change that you wanna see in the world
My hands have started shaking
Transitioned into a man
You’re the reason Grandma’s crying
This is all on you
That hasn’t been okay to say
Since 1952
Brace for impact
Cos here comes the tackle
Their spine bends back
I’m feeling stronger than Ethel
I haven’t spoken to Auntie Jean in 18 months
I ain’t got time for her racist schtick
No, I ain’t got time for much
Brace for impact
I’m written out of the will
Their spine lays broken
Oh man what a thrill
I haven’t spoken to Uncle Todd in 8 long years
But that’s just fine with me
Cos I don’t need more socks
Yeah!

There's bioluminescent squares taking over my life
They gestate in the corner of my desk then they assimilate
Some of them are bigger than others and the adhesive strip
Sticks them to my every synapse like a parasite
The hits keep coming and I've fallen to my knees
I just can’t fake it any more
The hits keep coming and I'm crawling on my knees
I can't take it
I can't shake it
One
More
Thing
Drowning in a tide of malignant administration
Do my eyes deceive me or are those goalposts moving?
How can I feel so hollow yet be ready to burst
It's fight or flight or stay and die
The hits keep coming and I've fallen to my knees
I just can’t fake it any more
The hits keep coming and I'm crawling on my knees
I can't take it
I can't shake it
I'm done
One
More
Thing
Worn
Out
Break
Down
The hits keep coming and I've fallen to my knees
I just can’t fake it any more
The hits keep coming and I'm crawling on my knees
I can't take it
I can't shake it out
The hits keep coming and I've fallen to my knees
I just can’t fake it any more
The hits keep coming and I'm crawling on my knees
I can't take it
I can't shake it
I'm done
If your mind wanders, just gently bring it back.
Focus on how your body feels.
Your feet on the floor.
Your hands resting in your lap.
The crushing realisation that every cell in your body is permeated by the stench of failure.

I don't believe in a deity
I can't believe there's a plan
I'd like to see the terms and conditions
I'd like to speak to the man
Who makes the choice of who goes and who stays?
How are those decisions made?
This doesn’t feel like a miracle
It feels more like a trade
We didn't agree to this
There wasn't a deal
We didn't agree to this
This can’t be real
Is there a one in one out policy?
Is there a one in one out policy?
Is there a one in one out policy?
Is there a one in one out policy?
Payment made
And the time taken
Payment made
