We’re The Weeds

Under lush green trees
Streets break into pieces
We can only look, appreciate 
In our dream

That they’re gonna shade us
So their growth is what’s key
Better the crooks to placate
We’re the weeds

All the things that are beautiful aren’t free
All the things influencers spruik aren’t me
Show me where the real people hide
Coz these key-holding geezers are evil inside

Lay Down Your Steel

I’ve got problems
And you’ll never see or care
I’m nothing more than what I wear
I don’t know what’s real

I’ve got options
But they’re never what they seem to be
When lost in thoughts inside of me
My mind makes them a meal

Can’t stop watching 
Why all the coughing
Say you’re meaning 
Lies are believed 
In between the mean and
The green feelings
The obscene freedoms 
Seething deep in our breeding 
Like weed in my jeans 
A totally different scene
Then one in the wealthy 
Where it’s healthy
Even positively Christly
So don’t look at me nicely
Then move to a place where
There’s not a soul like me

I’ve got problems
You hope to never see or care
Or they’ll seep in and mess up your hair
And your feel for what’s real

You’ve got options
And they’re not free, like it’s meant to be
And it’s not your fault that you’re not me
So go and eat your meal

Find out more and you’ll feel
Then your beliefs might break out their seal
Coz to know me is to start your own peel
And let the world see what you really feel
And who you really be when you lay down your steel

If There’s a Beat

My favourite friend 
My best enemy
Forever 
If there’s a beat
My brain’s yours to bleed

Worn to the bone
Always workin it out
Obscene
If there’s a beat
You’ll fill it with shouts

Shadow beasts are about 
Staying chased is a feat
That I can’t do without
In need of the heat
Increasing the count

If there’s a beat
I must be in doubt
If there’s a beat
I must be in doubt

Insane or incensed 
Undead or un-lived
Does it matter?
If there’s a beat
I’m ready to give it

Torn by a tone 
Still workin it out
Maybe green
If there’s a beat 
I’m smokin it out 

Shadow beasts are about 
Dream flying’s a feat
I’ll keep trying out
Nineteen ninety-three
I had it worked out

If there’s a beat
I must be in doubt
If there’s a beat
I must be in doubt
If there’s a beat
I should use it to shout
If there’s a beat
I’m gettin it out 
 
So here’s the beat

Half Full Ego Cup

Now I bear my soul
Wrap it up in Fear of God,
Helmut Lang, Supreme
Shit it in a bowl
To make me scream
Then weigh the gold

Just give it all up
All your most gory,
Gawdy, bawdy stuff
And let the common feed 
Please give us what we need
And we’ll give you needless accolades
To fill your half full ego cup 

Until we find another source 
A stronger pull on our goldfish attention
Continuing convention with the fall
When you refuse to stay our course
The one that got our popularity vote
And left your letchy lovers hoarse

It’s about now you’ll know
That you never were a God
So you’ll hang, no scream
Gold plated shit in the snow
No need to feel squeamish
It’s how I wanted to go

A generations nostalgia
Will hold me over
For a little longer than most
I’ve got a haunt
Now I’m a ghost
Don’t say I never told ya

Tiny Voice

Tiny Voice 


Some 
-thing talkin on 
The electricity that I came from
A
Deep tiny voice 
Far far, far far, far far away from us

Keep going
Keep gooo-ing 
Keep goooooo-ing
Ooooooooooon
Over them all

Keep going
Keep gooo-ing 
Keep goooooo-ing
Ooooooooooon
Over them all
Until they see your God

Buzz
-zzing is the norm
For air that’s doing what I paid it for
O
Culus will bore 
Like all eventually for something more strong

Keep going
Keep gooo-ing 
Keep goooooo-ing
Ooooooooooon
Over them all

Keep going
Keep gooo-ing 
Keep goooooo-ing
Ooooooooooon
Over them all
Until they see your God

Until they see your God

Until they see you are God 
Among the rest of them

Double Down

Double Down

As my knees hit the ground
All my weight upon them
A weight always around 
Like a blanket you rely on

A gradual breaking down
A gradual decline 
No question, it’s renowned 
But they never like the shine

All you need to do is double down
Best forget direction when your proud
Others is as others does
And what they think will never come above

Point seen but who was there
Not me, and none I know
I’m telling you, I care
But I can’t trade us out by wishing

So points seen never matter
When no one can agree
I reach out but they scatter
I’m lashed for what’s not me 

And one last thing to say
Coz my freedom says it’s so
So me, I’m what you want to be
Are you willing to let go

All you need to do is double down
Best forget direction when your proud
Others is as others does
And what they think will never come above

Window Pane

When you’re a window pane
Love doesn’t look the same
Cover my brilliant shame
Held here on one thin plane

Dad
Let’s take a trip
Let’s let the world recede behind
And mostly in our minds

Not sad
Not just to bitch
To be alive and not inclined
To care an itch 
I’m fine
I’ve not declined 
I’ve not a reason to keep following
A book of men and shit

I’m dying
But it’s our time
To be another place
Where no one else exists

Coz when you’re a window pane
Love doesn’t look the same
Cover my brilliant shame
Held here on one thin plane
Insane
The sane
The same

Sad
Always a bit
It’s a place I like to go although
I don’t much care for it

Not bad
When it’s legit
And we don’t need to hide behind
The thrill of it

I’m dying
It’s not a crime
A life is what I have to give
But don’t acknowledge it

So why
Can I not fly
They always told me I was made for it

When you’re a window pane
Love doesn’t look the same
Cover my brilliant shame
Held here on one thin plane

[everybody]

When you’re a window pane
Love doesn’t look the same
Cover my brilliant shame
Held here on one thin plane
