Daddy Issues

Time is running out for you
And desperate as you are
To find the answer
It’s impossible to know
Cos you wouldn’t recognise it if you saw it
And you wouldn’t understand it if you learned it
So you look into the past to find your future
And you look into yourself to find the other
Time has now senesced for you
Behind your eyes the years
Turn into moments
Immutable now it's too late
So you reassure the residue of your ego
That the meaning isn’t found in objectivity
Through a crack in the wall you discern the total
With the emphasis on your own perception
But you look into yourself, an introspector
And the cavernousness inside is blinding

Oh Father Please
04:16
|

|
Intercessor I subserve
Love me more than I deserve, I beg you
Make me from your image turn
Into something now no longer like you
And not like me
Oh father, please
Give my life significance
Benevolent autocracy, I beg you
Give me labour for my day
I could never find
A worthwhile purpose
Not without you
Oh father, please
Oh father, please
Take my life into your hands
And save me from yourself
Pay no heed to my good deeds
They are irrelevant
I surrender approbation
But for sacrilege
Find me sick
Command me well
Renounce my factorage
Oh father, please
Oh father, please

Defaults
03:49

You didn’t want it, but here it is anyway
Like a preset presupposition getting in the way of what you really want
Cos you don’t really understand
Let me take you by the hand, show you what you need
It is all arranged the way it should be
By the parameters that I have very clearly defined
What were you thinking?
Negotiation’s not an option
Settle it down and leave the thinking to me
By default, you are required to participate
By default, no opportunity to abdicate
By default, it’s mandatory to assimilate
By default, my request is your mandate
It’s my game, they’re the rules
And if you work it out I’ll change it so I’ll confuse you
With hollowed out interpretations of your character
Call into question your intentions
It wears you down and makes you desperate for the
Clarity of my mind’s lack of polarity
So now I’ve got you where I want you
I am an earpiece feeding you the lines to say
How you’re so sorry that you failed to meet my expectations
I forgive you, but here’s the reparations
By default you are required to participate
By default no opportunity to abdicate
By default it’s mandatory to assimilate
By default my request is your mandate

Autocorrect
04:46
|
|||
|
I have distilled
Your every thought
Your every feeling
Into a big equation
Algorithmic empathy
Consistent
Inflexible
Listen to what I said
That was not your intention
And when you express yourself
I will autocorrect you
A homonym
Ambiguous
From which I
Select the connotation
That fits my pre-existing views
About you
Cos I know
Forget what you thought you said
I can just redefine it
And when you explain yourself
I will autocorrect you

Fair and Balanced
03:34
|

When I change my mind
You will change yours too or
I will put your head
Upon a pike
Toe the line you fuckers
Even when the words i say
Are so irrational
And make no sense
Whats fair for me
Is fair for you
So I will tip the scales
In my favour
My morality
Legislative rules that you can’t
Even comprehend
But even so
If you will not comply
I will throw you down into
The fire that I lit
And watch you burn
Eyes for eyes and teeth for teeth
Unless it’s me cos I got neither
But I see and I will chew you up
I hate to break it to your ego
You’re the victim
I’m the hero
I have come to save you from yourself

Pets of Giants
03:55
|
|||
|
Ostensibly
They give you everything you need
And over time
You’ve been domesticated
So comfortable
So very safe inside your cage
A bellyful
But still they give you more
We are
We are the
We are the pets of
We are the pets of giants
The hand that feeds
Coercive benefactor
That intervenes
Only out of self-interest
Then delegates to give
The illusion of volition
An ingratiating autocrat
And a grand manipulation
We are
We are the
We are the pets of
We are the pets of giants

Oedipus Pres
03:21
|

Freud was right about you, man
It’s all cos you’re worried that
Your daddy’s dick might be bigger
And now you’ll never know
You saw it once when you were ten
And ever since then you’ve been
Telling yourself you’re a grower
But in your mind you know
That you feel insecure
And your ego’s unsure
If your id is appeased
Sometimes a pen is just a pen
But more often than not
In your case I believe it’s symbol
Of what you never had
You take it out and show it off
But signing your name is a stain
On your teenage bedsheets
You’ll never wash it out
So stare at your reflection as
You get yourself off to
Pictures of yourself
When will you see it
Repressed little creeper
That you look like your mum

Little Princess
02:43
|
|||
|
I behaved unnaturally for you
When I behaved seductively for you
You cheered me on and showed me dance moves
Tacit expectation in your eyes
I arrange the cause and the effect
So I betray the truth of my intent
To make it so I’m not a loser
In the most important person’s eyes

Pause
04:29
|
|||
|
I paused it right here
I want you to see the good bit
And by the look on your face
You agree that it’s quite a moment
So I’ll leave it here
And keep on playing the same part
Cos it pleases me if it pleases you
I could spool from end to end
Flip it round and do it again
But different
But I won’t
You paused me right here
When i was at a good point
And by the look on your face
I can tell that you know
I’m jamming
But keep it right there
And grease the mechanism
Cos I never go til you tell me to
I could take the whole thing out
Swap it for another one that’s better
But I can’t
So I’ll leave it on this one
Play it til I’m fucking dead and buried
Then I’ll stop

Spoilt Little Shit
03:36
|
|||
|
It’s all just such a shame that you behave like this
When you don’t get exactly what you want
You’ve spoiled the game for everyone
And no-one likes a spoilt little shit
You’ve become a disappointment to me now
But you can somehow look me in the eye
A head that will not hang in shame
Is one that will refuse to take the blame
You’ll never change, you’ll learn
You’ll always be a spoilt little shit
