Quit Your Jobs

Quit your jobs
Fake your death
Brick yourself inside
It's genius and I predict
They'll swallow whole the lies
Safe to say you saw me coming
So sell it as a win, no matter what the spin
At worst it's an insult, at best it's a miss-step
A blind shot in the sky branded a rallying cry
I've seen one too many red flags
Far too many humble brags
And though I'd like to pack my bags
I'm still well aware you fucking own me
Quit your jobs
Fake your death
Brick yourself inside
It's genius and I predict
They'll swallow whole the lies
The more I sit here in this place
Clearly holding back my sheer distaste
While this shit falls from that filthy face
I realise sat in the boardroom that it's doomed and I'm done
It's genius I'm getting carried out on their shoulders (It's genius)
It's genius I'm getting carried out on their shoulders I fucking own you
Quit your jobs
Fake your death
Brick yourself inside
It's genius and I predict
They'll swallow whole the lies

I've made so many foes it's frightening
If you twist the knife, could you twist it lightly?
I'm not an outlaw I'm just a fucking lost cause
You hold onto grudges like they're in style
I just want the world to stop spinning for a while
I'm just in need of a little more time
Try not to panic
Though I'm behaving so erratic
It's just my head's so full of static
But calm will follow these dramatics
And with each deep breath of air
Comes a fresh new despair and I'm tired
So do your best to stay calm
I've pushed it and it's boring now
I've burned all of my senses out
I've outgrown all my many personalities
Try not to panic
Though I'm behaving so erratic
It's just my head's so full of static
But calm will follow these dramatics
And with each deep breath of air
Comes a fresh new despair and I'm tired
So do your best to stay calm
My sorrows have started to drown
So bury their bones in the ground
Some words are best left unsaid
When I don't feel at home in my head
Try not to panic
Try not to panic
Just try, just try not to panic
Because I'm so fucking tired
So do your best to stay calm

Water Me Down

I’ll show compassion when I’m tasked with it
Lend me your light so I can bask in it
I’m down with this toxic schtick
Face down in the grit I feel the atmosphere’s fine
Until you breathe in it
Water me, water me down
Just take a minute, take a minute, take a minute to breathe
And we’ll work with what is left
I’m done pretending every big idea
Is your brightest and your best
Water me, water me, water me down
I’ve got the ripped jeans
I’ve got the long hair
I used to raise hell but now I’m just living there
Help me not to agonise in being wrong when you were right
I’m ready to concede and be cemented in my plight
Water me, water me, water me down
I’ve got the ripped jeans
I’ve got the long hair
I used to raise hell but now I’m just living there
I’ve taken all I can
But now I’ve reached my limit
I used to raise hell but now I’m just living in it
Water me, water me, water me down
I’ve got the ripped jeans
I’ve got the long hair
I used to raise hell but now I’m just living there

Fucking TV

Your claws are sunk into my neck
If for nothing else, so I’m in check
You dig them deeper still
Until I lose the will
Until I lose all self respect
Your claws are sunk into my neck
Like somehow I’m the safest bet
If there’s money in it, then I’m into it
If there’s money in it, I’m telling you
They’ve seen nothing yet
I’m devil’s advocate
Taking this and riding you to the top
Just give me six more songs
Just give me six more songs
Just give me six more songs
Just give me six
Just give me six more just like this and I’ll write the cheque myself
You’re never going to be, never fucking going to be
Your band will never be on Fucking TV
You’re never going to be, never fucking going to be
Your band will never be on fucking Fucking TV
Just give me six more just like this and I’ll write the cheque myself
Now all my reds have turned to grey
I’m less attached to it by the day
You’re not listening, nobody’s listening
You’re not listening, I’m telling you
The problem with you is you just need to think less
You need a little repetition and you need a little less finesse
Just give me six more songs
Just give me six more songs
Just give me six more songs
Just give me six
Just give me six more just like this and I’ll write the cheque myself
You’re never going to be, never fucking going to be
Your band will never be on Fucking TV
You’re never going to be, never fucking going to be
Your band will never be on fucking Fucking TV
Just give me six more just like this and I’ll write the cheque myself

Blood in my ears I can hear my own heartbeat
They took the power from the people
And the people just watched
It was the fault of the people
And the people will rot
We’re not in the race
The people never had the power in the first place
While they empty the shelves
Watch the people begin to fight amongst ourselves
While they get on with what really matters
Before we’ve even noticed that our rights were scattered
Like ashes in the wind
And I can’t see an end
But I can hear my own heartbeat
Competing with a world that doesn’t think straight
All because we’ve stopped dying at the same rate
Between the noise of every other repeat
Blood in my ears I can hear my own heartbeat
This world is a car-crash with no-one surviving
And we’re still fighting over who was driving
I’m through, I’m done and I’m not the only one
As piece by piece we pick apart our own
It’s too much to take in right now
There’s an opinion in my pocket I’m afraid to take out
For all intents and purpose I’m now just a cow so milk me
Milk me ‘til I’m dry
I’d give the bones in my skeleton to take it back one notch
We are now so off course that I’m finding it harder to watch
It’s too much to take in right now
There’s an opinion in my pocket I’m afraid to take out
For all intents and purpose I’m now just a cow so milk me
Milk me ‘til I’m dry
I can hear my own heartbeat
Competing with a world that doesn’t think straight
All because we’ve stopped dying at the same rate
Between the noise of every other repeat
Blood in my ears I can hear my own heartbeat
