  1. Torment
  2. Pick me up
    Put me away
    Leave the scabs on the side
    Watch the old wounds decay
    Our self esteem
    Set to 'gorge'
    I smile, a picture, I'm not so sure
    Make a fist
    Make a point
    Make a voice

    Breaking it down
    See it all fall in
    Breaking it down
    See it all relapse
    Building me up
    Like a 'new skool' model
    Tearing me down
    Like a virgin queen

    Looking back in time
    When all this is memory
    Looking back in time
    What you did to yourself
    Looking back in time
    When all this is misery
    Looking back in time
    What you did to yourself
    What you did to yourself

    Down in the garden wide eyed and brave
    Picking up the thorns we thought to save
    Grow a little story put in my backbone
    Settle me to sleep when the sap has dies
    Once upon a time there was a little patience
    Suffocate as surf washes life away
    All we ever want is a 'happy ever after'
    All we ever get is a 'far, far away'

    Where are we
    Where are we
    Where are we

    Ain't that a shame
    Where are we
    Ain't that a shame
    Where are we

  3. Vertigo
  4. Look down on yourself
    Look down on yourself

    I'm just a tried and tested
    But the method is sound
    Don't let the words I hear forget
    Or speak them allowed
    I try my best and lest
    I forget to begin
    At least my ribs will still be open
    When I'm sold off again

    Look down on yourself
    Look down on yourself

    Chorus:

    I say I love you
    Cos words don't mean a thing
    A fuck is all you'll ever be

    She's cold and cut like stitches
    On angels wings
    I break her legs to keep her clean
    She's my disease
    I'm a grenade without a pin
    A bitter pill ya can't taste
    I'm as real as the ten commandments
    Like the 'thank you' in rape

    Look down on yourself
    Look down on yourself
    Look down on yourself
    Look down

    (Chorus)

  5. Jailhouse
  6. I don't think you're a bad imitation
    Your whole life is a good illustration
    Like a doll with painted eyes
    You see everything but act surprised

    Your love cost us to breathe subjugation
    Let it rule with a crass consternation
    I don't think our love is to question
    We just need a reason why

    Chorus:

    Don't give me a reason to hate you
    Don't give me a reason to hate you
    Don't give me a reason to hate you now

    Draw blood with the crayons you gave us
    Fade out like stars in the break-up
    Match words and pretend to believe
    If it helps us sleep at night

    Don't try to deny what you're thinking
    We're in the water and we're already sinking
    You broke my heart so I'll
    Tear yours out

    (Chorus)

    Fuck you
    And all of your reasons (x3)

    You never said that forever would take so long
    I never knew that forever could take so long
    I never knew forever could ever last that long

  7. Imperial Rape March
  8. We're selling hope
    And so hopeless to defy
    Like kids it doesn't happen
    If we close our eyes
    So sell us defamation
    It's our faith
    Don't let the truth
    Get in your way

    Pre Chorus:

    Fatalistic and pathetic
    Scarred
    Isn't much
    But it's who we are

    Chorus:

    You don't get this shit
    And I know you never did
    (Look at me now)
    You don't get this shit
    And I know you never did
    (Look at me now)
    How many times
    Do I have to say this
    You don't
    Get this shit

    Apply the make-up
    To fade away the lines
    Let it in
    A state of mind
    To win is failure
    But to lose is to defy
    Get ready to pretend
    And mend my eyes

    (Pre to Chorus)

    Look at me now
    Look at me now
    Look at me now
    I wanna be myself

  9. Perfekt Hate
  10. If what you see
    Is all you could get
    Take down in fear
    And build on regret

    If what you see is
    All you could be
    You get around
    And found misery

    I don't control you
    All alone but I could show you
    I don't control you
    You can't learn a thing they told you
    I don't control you
    All alone, I could show you
    I don't control you

    Pre Chorus:

    This is what you wanna be
    This is what what you think of me
    Everything they take is free
    Nothing that you wanna see
    Everything you'd ever be
    Nothing that you wanna be
    Dont ya wish you were just like me

    Chorus:

    I will become the thing I
    I will become the thing I
    I will be
    What I hate
    I will become the thing I
    I will become the thing I
    I will be
    What I hate

    Cut from the inside
    And found myself out
    All that you are
    Is all you could count

    All that you are is
    All you could be
    You're nothing, fucked
    And I'm still yet to be

    I don't control you
    All alone but I could show you
    I don't control you
    You can't learn a thing they tell you
    I don't control you
    All alone, I could show you
    I don't control you

    (Pre to Chorus)

    What I hate
    Is me

  11. Bloodtied
  12. Man got his hand by a crooked god
    Pulling on the finger and wrapped and tied in knots
    Man got his cross built of piety
    Forever in the past and that's all we'll ever see

    Pre Chorus:

    We can't wake and we blame it on fate
    Living on a string we ourselves had to make
    Man got his hand man got his gun
    Man got his soul and I blame everyone

    Chorus:

    If you're not my friend
    You're my enemy (x3)
    Know your enemy

    Sober and his lips are free from sin
    Put it in a bottle and sell it back to him
    Bitter and our hands are matted claws
    Tearing at the dreams we built up into walls

    (Pre to Chorus)

    Without us
    Your life is
    Just for show
    Without us
    Your life is
    Just for show
    Don't hate me
    Don't break me
    I'm just for show

    (Chorus)

  13. Tantamount
  14. I'm killing time just killing miseries these made up scenes of old
    Not fit to burn not fit to have these times let my heart go cold
    And stagnant mires of tears bought up on fears and so afraid alone
    But does it matter after all

    Pre Chorus:

    You don't care
    About us (x2)

    Chorus:

    There you take me
    There you break me
    You were a mistake
    I'm so low

    So pale in light this imitated life we grew without a care
    And made to fit and force the edges down until they're square
    To put away our childhood fantasies to grow and feel the blame
    But does it matter after all

    (Pre to Chorus)

    You don't care
    About us
    You don't care
    About us




    [Back To Tracklist]

  15. Cordially Numb
  16. Well this is something nothing could be
    I didn't bother but it's fucking with me
    I'd like to pick where it all went wrong
    Well picking off the weak just moves it along

    Ya gonna lose
    Ya gonna lose
    Not like you get to choose

    To suffocate it is to take it away
    I'd let you watch but it's you anyway

    Chorus:

    It's not enough to win
    Ya gotta know you lose
    I make it so
    Ya don't get to choose
    I can't live 'til
    Everybody dies
    I am your god

    Ya spider veins crawling into my skin
    Keep giving up 'til ya start to give in
    What part of no don't you understand
    Well I can't keep forgetting your pointless demands

    Ya gonna lose
    Ya gonna lose
    Not like you get to choose
    Debilitative and a short breath away
    Take mate hate and everybody pays

    (Chorus)

    Everybody dies
    You're gonna lose

  17. Compulsion
  18. Cast with the lights off
    Fixing on maybe
    Better ever this
    We're apes with ties in a halo
    Peace is in the shell
    In pieces we build our life
    To live in is to give in
    It's our right to defy
    Passed off and pissed on
    We sure when we're dead
    Grow a better backbone
    Just to discard the head
    I could be a king nail me down once again
    Nurture my ersatz lies that I grow as my friends

    Chorus:

    I want it all
    I want it now
    And I won't take
    No for an answer
    You wanted real is this real enough for you
    I'm just like you

    Pious liars crying
    Cos they're better than you
    Selling off ascension
    And so sorry it's true
    I could be someone
    But they're all to blame
    I could be a king but I
    Don't know my name

    (Chorus)

    Well I'm just like you (x2)

  19. Decay Dance
  20. To be depraved is all the rage
    But can you do it all
    We make up scars and break our hearts
    My tears are waiting to fall
    Sell abuse to fit the use
    Take time to make me numb
    Ya sell the scene that ya said 'obscene' but I
    I saw you come

    Chorus:

    I don't know nothing about this
    I don't know nothing about this
    I don't care

    We're model friends to fit the trend
    To fit to fuck to favour
    So second hand and sampled bland
    And set to be a saviour

    A minutes set apart to get
    Promises to Break
    What I have is what I want and
    What I want I take

    (Chorus)

    Don't you wish you life was a little like this
    Don't you wish you life was a little like this
    Don't you wish your life was a little like this
    Don't you wish your life

    Give in to me
    I'll fit your need
    Tell me
    Give in to me
    I'll fit your need
    Tell me
    Give in to me
    I'll fit your need tell me
    Give in to me
    I'll fit your need
    Tell me
    Tell me

    (Chorus)
