I woke up this morning with one memory of last night The vision of a bottle, before I went to sleep When I was naive it was always amusing But now what I want has turned into what I need The taste now steins my already tainted blood like the ink I paid to stein my skin I left my heart in a castle where I swapped it for a crown and a sceptre So I could be king But the king of nothing is just a peasant Who just wears arrogance better than everybody else With a castle of blood and sweat and bricks made of the cards That I was so easily dealt When you're alone it's too easy to drink yourself sober Without knowing what's in your cup You say you've seen it all before but it's kinda hard to help When your eyes are so fucking wide shut The king of nothing and the king of it all Are both the same just before they fall The king of nothing was always a fool The king of it all was always Destined to fall Once upon a time we were the drunken knights Off on another mission to get ourselves pissed But it seems it's taken it's toll now we gave into that Sweet nectar's kiss Too many nights I've watched my best mate's eyes Roll into the back of his head But just like Cash once said 'If you paint that line, motherfucker that's where I'll tread' So I guess it's time to set off on another voyage to see if I can find some new ground I've done it a few different times before, it seems it's always the same land I've found So if this is where I should be, I guess I shouldn't want to change it for anything in the world If I die young, I'll die happy, knowing I always kept myself When the king is nothing but miserable He is the envy of the drunken fool The fool is crushed by the weight of it all The king just laughs as his castle falls

Batman 03:32
Well you walk in the room in the middle of the night You spent the last two hours on the end of a pipe You got your pockets lined with your mother's treats And your sweat hits the floor with the move of the beat And your heart beats faster with the kick of the drum With lungs of smoke and a liver of rum You can't stop moving, you think you might die Your bloodshot eyes said you're in for a ride Take me home I think I might die Well Batman fits with Mary Jane If you wanna be driven half insane You want moderation, here's the thing You don't make friends with a gram of ding You hurt your mind, you hurt your pride Your lips are parched and your tongue is tied You tried to make out with a girl from Russia But you fucked up when you told her you love her Take me home I think I might die Batman attacks in the middle of the night You're drinking water like Bear Grylls piss You can't remember that fella you just kissed You got beat up behind Enigma bar But you snorted nitrates in the back of your car And you can't feel your fingers, can't feel your toes Can't feel your face or your broken nose There's tears running down the side of your face Up comes the sun is it early or late? Take me home I think I might die Batman attacks in the middle of the night Take me home I think I might die Quick as a flash then gone out of sight Well you wake up about three days later Your car is missing your girlfriend hates you There's a hole in your shirt the size of the moon You're supposed to work at eight but it's half past noon You're feeling tired, alone and depressed But a few nights ago you were at your best It's not your life, it's just the drugs Give Batman a call for another pill hug

Boats 03:57
My chest is full but my pocket's empty And resonating like a kick drum My brain won't read what my eyes are sensing Looking right through the sun Come write something in this chapter I can't finish it by myself When the words begin to scatter We will put them back on the shelf Don't you think That if the worst was yet to come I'd be around All boats sink eventually Deep under the ground My eyes are red from stimulation Day dreaming too fucking hard My brain has surely lost it's patience On this narrow path Don't you think That if the worst was yet to come I'd be around All boats sink eventually And Don't you think That if the best was yet to come I'd make a sound All boats sink eventually Deep under the ground And if the past is just a myth Or some feelings that we did I wanna know what you're talking about If there's holes upon the stern then notate what you've learned and make us all sing it loud And if the past is just a myth Or some feelings that we did I wanna know what you're talking about If there's holes upon the stern then notate what you've learned and make us all fucking proud

Sober Mind 03:42
Sun punches through my open window Wakes me up with a searing pain running through my head My sober mind was blind to my drunken eyes My drunken ears are deaf to what my sober mind just said Memories of a face I don't recognise Was it real or did my brain wrap it up in a dream Head so full of poison that I self medicate Hallucinations make life harder than what it seems You tear me down and make me feel like I might die For a brief moment I feel so safe The warmth that pulsates from my chest Made the catch feel so much better than the chase Better than the chase Unseasonable raindrops falling on my head They relax me from the usual torment of mental storms Small steins of blood under my finger nails My face feels like it's been run over by a juggernaut It's hard to sleep when you can hear your own hair grow Every small sound feels like it might be the end of the world Flash backs seen through the pain of last night Add to the pleasure of this hangover like it's hard to sell Every night I say it's my last time My last time with the only thing that ever makes me smile Every night I crave just one more drink Of the bitter liquid that always made me feel vile

GBTUSA 05:42
Your greedy eyes are disguised by an arrogant guise A bigoted grin masks the facts of your malodorous lies Your skin a shade of yellow from fighting the toxin Your liver gave up on fighting the poison your lost in Every word you say an American worship Idealising the obese, democratic dictatorship My country has been turned to the big business gimp The people have been fucked so hard they're starting to limp God bless these United States of Australia Do we really want to be... God bless these United States of Australia Anything like that country The substance of life is second to an ancient book Which is used to justify wars started by suited up crooks I'm constantly told that their god is mine Well if I end up in Hell, I'll be just fine I'll hang out with the Atheists I know so well The peaceful will inherit the gates of hell While rapists and murders floated to the sky Because they asked for forgiveness on the day that they died God bless these United States of Australia Do we really want to be... God bless these United States of Australia Anything like that country Fast food on every corner, they take what money you have left But if you eat from a bin, they will consider it theft People aren't allowed to be poor, they aren't given help So don't be shocked when they stand up and take it for themselves Fat cat filled pockets from the tears of the silent But the faces turn to fears when the weak become strident So don't fucking tell me my generation's fucked When my country is run by old bigoted cunts God bless these United States of Australia Do we really want to be... God bless these United States of Australia Anything like that country I've become a shamed of this country, of my birth Racism is standard, the weak mean less than the dirt The power's in the hands of the classist scum They pound their money hungry beats on their classist drum Economy means more than the Earth that we live The money we take is better than the help that we give I've learned my life is anger, built out of habit And if I die my last breath will be; Fuck you Tony Abbott!
