Benign 03:07
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 Climb

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!

To Doom List 04:38
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.

No Receipts 02:07
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 And the time taken
