The Factory
Speed is our god
Speed: 'the new cannon of beauty'
Caught in static ecstasy
We climb...
Keep moving onward
Keep moving forward
Keep moving onward
Down
Ideas left in torment
Ideals left to drown
Stuck in the factory
Growth is our motto
Why
The answer's in productivity
Gotta give up what's mine
Gotta fall into line
Confused, pathetic and manic
Splinter and entirety
Spear-like shard
Breaking hard
We should be breaking you
Stuck in the factory

Screwtop
Should we debate significance
Or would it leave us too small
'Cause it could take some time to linger
Pushing us to a fall
Pausing to initiate
Around and around
In trance we heard a dirty word
In dance we scream a sound
Let the selfish become selfless
OK, it's a start
Worlds in worlds
Not you at its heart
Please could you just slow down
Please just slow it down
I'm going to fast
I'm not built to last
Around and around
-Screwtop-
It's the end of an age my friend
The end of an age
The struggle of millions pull-push back
Twist and tiptoe
Don't fall through a crack once you heard the lie of life
There's no coming back
-Screwtop-
Twist, twist, twist
From the head to the hand
From a palm to a fist
Crawl, crawl without all
So we twist
Gonna take it all apart
Gonna take this piece away from me
Your level-headed theories
Your hot headed cries
Head to toe
Right me wrong
But just don't say no
Wind me up
I'll be ready to go
But then who's face
Yours of mine
Gonna rip this fucker out
I'm gonna tear this piece away from me
I'm gonna bring it down to its knees

Fracture
All along the way
You been scratching your name deep in us
We're nothing save
Let's just say...distracted
When questioned its delay or defuse
Beaten down again
It's nothing new
I'd bring you with me
If you were human too
But I'm face to face with this silicon wall
Hold the truth like steel
Don't want to lose what I feel
When every breath seems real pump me full of happy medium
We want something more
We the brighter, faster, harder generation
Are coming knocking at your door
Hacking down your door
I know we can make it
I know that if we try
They'll fall
I just can't take it any more
Another, another with nothing apart
Come back along the way
Been erasing your name out of me
Now I'm not safe
Let's just say I'm free mould our thoughts like clay
Then send us off on our way
This is the price we pay for our fear
Top
Stations
These stations are empty
So distant I just cant seem to touch them
Most of the time
You can find safety in the smooth clear surface
As cool as a breeze
As helpless as this vacant civilisation
And the air we breath
In long, slow breaths
It got us picking up our power
We're free
Feeling free
Well I run out of eyes and I run out of hands
And I'm moving through spaces I don't understand
But the last thing you feel
Before the end of your fall is the start of a new life
Show us how to feel
Gotta fear of flying
Been failing for years and now I'm sick of trying
Salvation's gotta gun
No answers there for me
No sin left to pay
Let's blow this guilt away

Clapper Loader
Borrowed reason
The taste stirs nothing in me
And the only way to get by
Is being built into this wall
Yeah its a copout
Standing still to please your guilt
And for years in a snare
We're so sorry we left out your reason to crawl
So sit down vacuum child get sucked in
Desensitize
Stand up
Direct feed in through your eyes
But now your looking the wrong way
Why play not wanting anymore
The first bites the best
So you leave the rest
Lying face down like a razor
Lying
Good evening Clapper Loader
You should override the writer
Making stories fold because truths are told
In better ways than these - believe me
I would show you if I had something to show
But your histories been bound and gagged
And the pattern that's ingrained tells you to...
Crawl into yourself
Safe inside your cage

I Only Said
I only said those things
So you couldn't put it back on me
What's said is said
But I never lied and the harder I try
The harder it gets to remember the path
That led me to this place
There seems to be no way out of here
I only wanted to protect myself
From meaning and cause
But you can only try
To lift yourself out of the gutter so long
Your form surrounds me
I'm left alone, an empty space
At least it's my place
And the end result is a world
That never cared for the likes of different ideas
I had security
Now it's gone
Can't take the pressure and I don't blame youth
The blame's on you and it stands forever
Open your tired eyes
It could make a difference
You can't wonder why
We're in need of assistance open your tired eyes
It could make a difference at least just try
By recreating the system

Derail
Abrasive to the touch
All in all in all the same thing now
We are gatherers here in nonesuch
Hooks back to the line
And I trip over myself here
I trip over myself
Something is stuck in me here
And I can't get out
Some in paint
Some in blood
Some in makeup
Derail me
To everything
Churn, churn, churn
There is a season
Churn, churn, churn
There is a reason
Churn, churn, churn
This ain't the time or the place
I am sick of tuning into rainbows
I am sick of turning into rainbows

Bone Orchard
Get the sinking feeling
You're behind my head again
And the more I weed, the more it grows
And here I am, hung by my toes
The time spent set in cement
Spent wasting my time
When I could have been pulling it down
It's my release
Held down
Entangled
It's a web of my own making
This desolation shaking me apart
Build it up, paste it up, stick it up
Stuck up
Fucked
Such a shame
My defences have become my own restrictions
My love
Talk to me
It's a Bone Orchard
You cast your shadow on my heart
It's a Bone Orchard

Happy Meal
Why aren't we what they be
Where's our sitcom family
Where's the perfect boy or girl
Where's our happy meal
Where is our identity
Your foot is in the door
What the hell
We don't care
We're safe in our four walls
What's happened to our spirit
It's withered, sick and grey
Been scared into blind worship
Can't see any other way
But the problems, they keep arising
We're hurt, we're unfulfilled
"The peasants are getting restless"
We're sick of pushing shit uphill
When the substance of this system wears too thin
Let's kick it in
