From Yourself
02:30

Loosen off
The knots that tie you up
Behind these other people's eyes
Feel released
From shackles of another ego
Getting in your way
And feeling distracted from yourself
Disregard
Irrelevant opinions
They will only hold you back
Deconstruct
Anybody who would even
Dare to disagree
And cause a distraction from yourself

Hungry Animals

Strip away neurology
In a DIY lobotomy
You'd kill your own brother, then you'd fuck your own mother
Like a simian sex-pest hanging from a tree
'Cause the people parts like the manners and the arts
Are a veneer as thin as dust
It's an overlay and if you peel it all away
Then you'll realise that you're nothing but a
Hungry animal
Hungry animal
Hungry animal
Hungry animal
Take it right back to the bottom of the stack
To the dinos and the lizards and the snakes
It's all fuck or flight, or take a bite
'Cause your belly is empty and your head is full of rage
So you see what you want and grab it with six claws
And the other fuckers have to go without
It's a reliable compulsion to do the right thing
So survival of the species is never in doubt
'Cause you're a
Hungry animal
Hungry animal

(The reptilian complex dominated the brains of dinosaurs
And still controls bird and reptile behaviour
It is responsible for instinctual behaviours
Associated with aggression, dominance and territoriality
The paleo-mammalian brain, or limbic system
Is a set of interconnected brain structures which arose early in mammalian evolution
They are responsible for the motivation and emotion involved in feeding and reproduction
The neo-mammalian complex, or cerebral neocortex
Is found exclusively in higher mammals
And confers the ability for language, abstraction, planning, perception and consciousness
The human brain is made up of reptilian, paleo-mammalian and neo-mammalian structures
So beneath what makes us human is the vestiges of our primitive ancestors)

Space Invaders

These tiny little creatures
They build machines that build machines that build a structure
No love no law no teachers
No semiosis, just mitosis and aggression
Cut open their heads and then remove
The jelly inside so we can prove
If we wire them up to a big machine
Will it make one of us behind a screen
Like passing ships at light speed
Cooperating in a kind of isolation
These creatures are a puzzle
They fit together in haphazard tessellation
A primitive brain has simple thoughts
If they're even thinking, we can't be sure
If we put them together could they be more
Than primordial life-forms on the floor?
Look how tenderly it grooms its baby
Maybe they are like us
Watch in horror as they eat their offspring
They should all be crushed

Hope For Zombies

Nothing else will satisfy this hunger
Nothing else but tearing you apart
Hope
Hope
Hope for zombies
Hope
Hope
Hope for zombies
A horde is building just around the corner
Hungry for a little taste of flesh
Expiration won't outstay its welcome
It comes and goes too soon, or makes you wait
Hope
Hope
Hope for zombies
Hope
Hope
Hope for zombies
Bureaucracy (Hope for zombies)
Theology (Hope for zombies)
Publicity (Hope for zombies)
Zealotry (Hope for zombies)

Distractor

Because of you my fruit is rotting
Forgotten and uneaten in the bowl
Its swollen flesh a bitter memory of
A taste so sweet I'll never know
Nothing else really matters
All I need is you
Fallen by the wayside
Anything but you
Empty bed and locked front door
Dusty footprints on the floor
How could something full of love become so lonely?
Lacking a custodian
Plants and flowers overrun
A garden once enchanting goes to rack and ruin
Nothing else really matters
All I need is you
Fallen by the wayside
Anything but you

Pure, innocent flesh
Blank canvasses
Immaculate perception
Scratch lines shape boundaries with outlines
Colours and shades fill in the blank parts
Permanent blemishes
Laser beams burn your skin

Dogs On TV
03:54
|

|
There's nothing to find
On the other side of the looking-glass
It ain't transparent
You may as well be looking up your own arse
There's dogs on TV
There's dogs on TV
There's dogs on TV
And you're barking at the screen again
A rear projection of chimpanzees shaking fists at a thunderstorm
It's paranoia personifying the natural phenomena
There's dogs on TV
There's dogs on TV
There's dogs on TV
And you're barking at the screen again

Is
03:09

Is are part of you
Are all around you
You'd never even know
Look at from you
At the other you
You'd never even know
Is, Is
Stare at your reflection
For hours on end
Your Is will never move
Only as a third party
A casual observer
Your shifting Is will you perceive
Is, Is

Iconoclasticide
02:17

I am afraid of losing control
So I will prescribe what you can do
My lies are like beautiful raindrops
Falling on dirty structures
And I am unwilling to compromise

With All Due Respect
04:02
|

|
Your right to make a demand
Doesn't require me to meet it
And my need to learn a lesson
Won't authorise you to teach it
And your precious opinions
And fragile fucking feelings
Mean nothing to the actual truth
So grow up and deal with it
'Cause your right to say what you want
Means I can invite you to fuck off
And in spite of what you believe
Your freedom of speech ain't my cutoff
And your crass definitions
And blinkered comprehension
Just illustrate the things you hate
Expressed with condescension
So go tell your friends about it
I'm sure they'll be really offended
I don't care, believe what you want
I left all my fucks attended

Halloumi

Two thumbs up in photos
Of you with your broken bone
Acquaintances from all over the world
Ensure you're not alone
Eurovision parties
In a windmill full of cats
With vodka cocktails, crudités on patios,
In boater hats
(Halloumi! Halloumi!)
Now you're Mr Popular
But you know there must be more
Although you're no philosopher
(Halloumi! Halloumi!)
Push the emptiness away
Drown your sorrows in the selfies
That you're taking every day
Grimacing in photos
Of your cousin's wedding day
You recognise in others' eyes despondency
But cannot say
Tag yourself in pictures
So everybody knows you're there
If you don't stand out then you'll comment endlessly
About your hair
(Halloumi! Halloumi!)
Smiling like Euphrosyne
But you're one third in the underworld
Just like Persephone
(Halloumi! Halloumi!)
And where's your Demeter now?
Crushing tulips in a field
Applying filters to conceal
That there's nothing to reveal
Beneath it all
