So that was fun, why the hell did I even come? Just another excuse for cutting it loose, getting pissed out of your brain I’m going home, lock the door and sit on my throne Surrounded by last night’s pizza boxes, where only I can reign Presiding under the covers TV shows and games Don’t need no others Ode to all the vapid little fakers Signed by the wasters You’re keeping by your side Oh to have a chance to take your orders My very own disorder I’ll think I’ll change the tide Bought some new tunes, hope it isn’t making you fume If I could equate the racket you make, you’d think I’d gone insane I thought we’d get along but Recent studies indicate that life is just a game

Punch? 02:14
Good job my friend, congratulations You successfully fucked the whole thing up We scramble ‘round for consultations Two brand new sides one pointless war Lost, and now we’re picking up the pieces that you left for us As you walk away I feel my anger rising up and up So here we are now, still breaking new ground Never been so loud You threw it away, I bet you’re proud But you moan and you groan so alone But you know, we’ve long gone by Lost all consideration Took us for a ride, you crashed the truck We power through the complications Too much at stake too much to be Lost, and now we’re picking up the pieces that you left for us Churn out the lies it’s no surprise you’re running out of luck It seriously seems to me That from your actions you want the punch

Better day, so they say, bombs away Only way, so they say, peace won’t pay Now they’ll never take nothing from me I won’t let them be the ones who bleed For your prize, young will die, my oh my Train them well, sent to hell, suicide Now they’ll never take nothing from me I won’t let them be the ones who bleed Take them down a little bit faster The world won’t get a second chance To be the overlord the master Of all we know you need Bring them here, use the fear, make it clear, Don’t delay, don’t betray, peace won't pay Now they’ll never take nothing from me And don’t you know that I’ll ensure to secure we will succeed I know you’re not doing this for me I know you think we’re pretty stupid How far can you say that we are free Forgetting the profit we’re on the losing side And I know you’re the worst of all your kind

Heard you’re back online And that we’ve wronged you and you’d like to tell us all the Dreadful things you find About how we do our business, and who we like or simply won’t So I hate to play this game with you, I wish I didn’t care I know you know it’s all we have (why don’t you spit it out) Proceed to push us down (“Bet they won’t know”), but everybody knows At-least we’re having fun (“Way too much fun!”), we’ll still see you at the show So each day it stays the same with you And I know that isn’t fair And bitterness is all you have So keep taking drags and feeling sad in your garden Pardoning every one but me for a laugh with your mates And you’ll feel great (It’s great) Keep taking drags and feeling sad in your garden Pardoning every one but me for a laugh with your mates And you’ll feel great til' the morning arrives and it’s getting too Later you’ll try and toe the line and hide behind “banter” and “Sorry boys I was just fucked”, I’m awestruck with your string of bad luck in this area barely a reason to care in your state

Set your sights on someone else, I’m so tired Don’t you think you’ve haunted me enough Memories are blown away like dandelion seeds And it’s the level of distain you seem to show that baffles me (If you’d let me dowse the fire) And let your demons loose and scrabble through the ashes for the truth There is no sinister sub plot, there is no call for war So take the time to figure out just what you’re fighting for You’re flying blind, with peace of mind stay composed Designed it all so well, so you’re safe above the clouds Our disgrace is nothing more than life, rolling as it does The travel agent for our guilt trip soaring high above us You’re flying blind, with peace of mind stay composed Designed it all so well (designed it all so well), well you’re safe above the clouds And was it easy to let me go An easy way to keep it down Was it that easy to let us go All that we had behind you (woahhh, woahhh) You’re safe above the clouds Set your sights on someone else, I’m so tired Don’t you think you’ve haunted me enough?

Optimism 04:04
I see ropes around your throat And they tighten, and they tighten Far away from all you knew, and I’m frightened And I’m frightened what you’ll do With no better options, and no running away Was building up day by day Will something perfectly minimal, get stuck in the way? Hit me with a blind-side Believe there’s nothing wrong We can be optimistic, but only for so long You’ve fallen by the wayside But I’m not done I’m breaking in Watching over Watching over And I know you’re wearing thin But I’m never, we are never giving in You’ve got no better options, we’re not running away We’re building up day by day Will something perfectly minimal, get stuck in the way? Start it over again Find a new way Trying to break this trend And I’m perfectly minimal But I’m showing the way

The world isn’t on your side No breaks in the natural scheme of things Just you, you’re all alone Up-keeping your earthly ties Unshaken, pre-emptively clipped your wings Tied down, and set in stone So you can keep dismissing, I’ll say it again Closing your doors won’t make you better men You’re in remission, I’ll stick with it if you’d like to wake up And let in what you’ve ignored Started out alright, never best bros We tried our best though, hasty we set our goals But when the time came, you made it a war game You we’re fixed in your congregation So you can keep dismissing, I’ll say it again Closing your doors won’t make you better men You’re in remission, I’ll stick with it if you’d like to wake up And let in what You’re a full grown minor, a ten out of ten No riff or chord, that you can’t comprehend It’s not a secret the world wasn’t built around you Wake up, and let in what you’ve ignored You, the one who cannot move You know that you can’t lose Who am I to criticise… YOU!? The world isn’t on your side No breaks in the natural scheme of things Well just you, you’re all alone Well just you, all alone
