Something Stiff

Shut it off shut it out
You need to control your nerves
Tomorrow will go without a hitch
How is she so calm?
I can barely hear her breathe
Eyes so peaceful face so serene
Still only 2 o'clock
Is this part of the trade?
Penance for these swirling thoughts
Will I ever sleep again?
Come again yeah what was that?
There's someone in this room
They can sense the fear they can smell the bullshit
There you go again you're paranoid
You just need something stiff
Tomorrow will go without a hitch
Still only 2 o'clock
That can't be right...
I must have been mistaken
I need to get to sleep tonight...
Free the mind release the soul
I never thought of just saying it out loud
You really blew your chance
We could have had a solid run
But now I suppose it's done
Asleep in the deep
Shake it out focus here
You've got some work to do!
You need to be at your best
Shut your eyes kill your mind
Be professional!
Everything you want is just hours away
Still only 2 o'clock
I swear that hand's not changed...
And the world outside seems so goddamn still
Will I ever sleep again?
So still your lips so frail...
Am I alone in this?
Penance for these swirling thoughts
I wish I could hear the tick and tock
Free the mind release the soul
I swear I saw you staring back at me
Those eyes cut to the bone

Scheme Like Snakes
03:55
|

Batten down the hatches
No time to delay
Unsheath your swords
It's time to make them pay
Yes their faces look like ours
But their words will bring this town to ruin
Yes they shit and breathe like you
But underneath the scheme like snakes
Yes blood runs through them
And that blood will fall that blood will stain
If I've told once I've told them twice
I must have told them a million times
I'll come to the place they live
And I'll give them a big fat piece of my mind
Yes they might have wives and kids
But their words will bring this town to ruin
Yes they may pay their tax
Infact they may pay more than I
But still though blood runs through their veins
They're dangerous to all our kind
Yes, blood runs through them
They're dangerous to all our kind
I'll take or cues from the greatest man ever known
Oh God I felt so alone
Until I heard them talk and confirm my fears
You and I will make him proud
Yes their faces look like ours
But their words will bring this town to ruin
Yes they shit and breathe like you
But underneath the scheme like snakes
Yes blood runs through them
And that blood will fall that blood will stain
That blood will fall that blood will stain

Human Shields

"Slow and steady, you've gotta take your time"
He grabbed his knapsack and drank the last of his wine
Things had changed, I saw that now.
Isolated we'd become
Armoured Guards
The Final Frontier
So sure and so social
Insecure and inessential
The bar was full but no-one held my gaze
Together at last but seperate in every way
Things had changed, I saw that now.
Isolated we'd become
Human Shields
Hazmat Suits
So sure and so social
Insecure and inessential

Dancing On Your Feet
06:31
|

It's been so long since we had fun
That I have forgotten the light in your eyes
The tingle the shivers they've all passed us by
It's been so long...
Once you held me close
My head on your chest
Arms wrapping me as we carefully stepped to the beat
Dancing on your feet
It's been so long...
The future is done
I've made my bed now I'll lie in it
Do the moments we cherish give life meaning or trap us in the past and present shutting the door on what we still could be?
The future is done
I've made my bed now I'll lie in it
