"To have and hold for all eternity"
Limitations and ambitions are a pretext to falling short We'll be doomed, marooned and two fatalities Anomalies in whispered circles For pledges we could never hope to fulfil But if it works for you Then it works because of you Not a diktat from a guild For who love is (unflinching) servitude Castigate or deprecate - they want heads hung in shame When a union runs it's course For pledges we could never hope to fulfil Irrepressible, irresponsible love Is the wild-eyed antitote to cold imperatives Love is the wild-eyed antidote To cold imperatives Love is like the last day you'll ever live So why lose that spark When our paths begin to merge? It's the yoke of absolutes - those pledges We could never blight in compliance Love is the wild-eyed antidote to cold imperatives Love has since been hi-jacked to tether down it's whims Obey, obey, obey so the passion dilutes Obey, obey, obey, obey, obey, obey, obey Perhaps under angry clouds of the imagined higher force Refrain, refrain, refrain From ending on a high note Refrain, refrain, refrain, refrain Refrain, refrain, refrain Perhaps under angry clouds of the imagined higher force Perhaps it's this and other such constraints From which we must divorce |

You don't need space to focus
There is no cause to dream Compulsive gatherer leans over drifters And the lame to get right to the prize Stampede at expectation's peak Blow to blow Job to job Work to rule, lauded one Work to rule with derision You don't need space to focus; There is no cause to dream Run a mile Dialled in Work to rule, pre-emptive Work to rule, primitives In determinate are the hours Or minutes to happily take stock At the point when you return to the earth Precious little left to objectify and shun Will you wish you'd broken ranks? Or was 'living' still a drawback? Indeterminate- Your achievements just egocentric figments? To settle down and be tranquil The preserve of the idle (! ) Obsessive go-getter means to surpass Every pleasure and dumb time-waster Stampede at expectation's peak Take up slack Break your back Work to rule on the rack Work to rule... and collapse |

Born between chaos and hatred - a lottery of fate
We sit on the brink of extinction The world lies in wait Just a scratch on the surface Of time that will wash away We delude ourselves with the notion That we are here to stay As life starts to shrink An impending state of neurosis Will we awake from this negligent narcosis? On the brink, the brink of extinction We're on the brink, the brink of extinction Locked together in a mindless campaign It's only now we see Appreciation is the one redemption For all that lives and breathes Like a virus it's conscious - impure We have farmed disease It's time now to step back And find an inner peace As life starts to shrink An impending state of neurosis Will we awake from this negligent narcosis? On the brink, the brink of extinction We're on the brink, the brink of extinction Will we avoid a natural selection? Do we have the right to survive the failures? Nature, it's force - the scales unbalanced What's the next step? How do we evolve? Can we avoid a natural selection? Do we have the right to survive the failures? Nature, it's force - the scales unbalanced What's the next step? What can we resolve? |

Sanitize
To blitz every lasting stain Turning fashioned... Heads turn Heads to marvel at plastic landscapes Heads to fill a vacuum of synthesized grace Globalise In continuum to equalise Turning littered... Heads turn Heads to forego distinctions to make Heads to embrace prospects of life in a cage Plastic landscapes, synthesized grace Distinctions to make, life in a cage Time waits for no slave Just give them convenience upon pain of death Cut out the middleman Keep them uniformly spoon-fed Time waits for no salve Just give them convenience Upon pain of fucking death Honoured cattle-class turning fattened heads Heads turn Heads to enthuse in a permanent daze Heads once longing for flaws to disassociate Permanent daze, disassociate Synthesized grace, life in a cage In one breath you denounce The authoritarian reach. Turn of the cheek and you're basking In the fake sunlight of it's grip |

Push the envelope further from reality
Banishing the hope, interrogating strategies Inhumane aggression, isolation jails Forcing a confession when all else fails To stand in judgement of a so-called offender That represents immortal behaviour Push the envelope from the civilised norm Push the envelope, catastrophic storm Stripped of life and limb by this torture germ Stripped of life and limb just for standing firm Naked and bound, pain and consideration Extremely profound, grotesque cooperation Cruelly implied, no sense of divide Particular intensity, deception and lies To stand in judgement of a so-called offender That represents immortal behaviour Government task force questioning the source Widespread abuse Innocent victims of power misuse Push the envelope from the civilised norm Push the envelope, catastrophic storm Stripped of life and limb by this torture germ Stripped of life and limb just for standing firm Psychological intimidation Traditional methods of interrogation Polluting our culture, it's prolific, outright For nothing more than specific insight A dire killing thrust To satisfy the lust When beaten to their death Lingering aftermath |

For independence we alone define
Open-ended, not monopolised, it's just as it is. Does not need overstatement Don't broadcast it from the rooftops It's we alone that convene But radical actor there you are The radical statesman picking holes But radical actor there you are The radical stateman's checklist of faults But radical actor there you are In radical terms this target's soft But radical actor there you are In radical terms it's power to your lost soul But radical actor there you are The radical heights of alienating To be a cut above - or below. Infighting starts to establish A clearly marked distance because image is at stake Mindlessly stifling, downbeat clique Down-at-heel, downbeat clique Infighting starts to establish A clearly marked distance because image is at stake Pitifully sniping, downbeat clique Re-branded morality, downbeat clique. Exactly what are YOU achieving? The faithful patron of one conclusion With reflection, effects are null and void, It's just as it is But radical actor there you are The radical statesman picking holes But radical actor there you are In radical terms it's power to your lost soul. But radical actor there you are, The radical slip into social structure, And your threatening alliance with the norm. |

Overbearing drive to break loose
But not to inflict any wounding Back-breaking social codes I'm hurtling toward apoplexy "Conduct inappropriate!" Cry misappropriating know-alls Conduct inappropriate! Institutional oafs break loose Care to neutralise us human germs Guidelines they so staunchly espouse Adjustable once they are exposed "Lifestyles disproportionate!" Cry misappropriating know-alls Lifestyles disproportionate! Verbal diarrhoea Virtuous fawning makes my flesh crawl Are you some god, king and sage? Superfluous slurs Resent, interject, intercept and molest Superfluous slurs Entrap, double back They collapse and entrance Superfluous slurs |

The past drags behind us like a dead weight
Prone for the large part, yet piling on the guilt Bullying, rebuking, lest we re-imagine Because by moving in the here and the now, It has become ingrained as given Directionless, transparent, brittle beings that we are But consider this: Those who can't escape the past Are condemned to repeat it. They place us in a losing battle But will we die for any flag? I don't think so. Quietly unwilling, escorted... There is little of our choosing. Disorientated by the noise of custom It dissipates the present and the future unbalanced, Excluded for envisioning a new space. Those who can't escape the past Are condemned to repeat it The past gives us oversight But we have nothing if it is rehashed Are we so stupefied That we've run out of steam? The past can keep us blissfully ignorant Away from a plunge Into the (exhilarating) virgin unknown Are we so fucking drained, that we've run out of steam? Are we so stupefied, that we've run out of steam? The past drags behind us like a dead weight It has become ingrained as given Directionless, transparent, Brittle beings that we are They place us in a losing battle It dissipates the present and the future Directionless, transparent, Brittle beings that we are But consider this: Those who can't escape the past Are condemned to repeat it. |

Abject... Engulfed...
Assail the heathen you! Cheer the martyr home Never drop your guard Smear campaign against clarity A no-sided argument Bite that tongue! Slum in a turgid rut Self-flagellate to assure Pleasures trampled flat Obligation to those pious myths A no-sided argument You seem a brow-beaten husk - Sheltered from salacious 'everything' You've reached saturation point - Every violating human touch Sets bombs off inside your brain With turmoil as an epitaph A no-sided argument |
