deflector________________________________
-
I knock my head against your wall
but you can’t force me into your world
-
enslaved, controlled, obey all the sterile minds
defiled, denied, defy what you can’t decide
-
I knock my head against your wall
but you can’t force me into your world
-
survive, surprise, resist all the standing stones
released, cut out, believe you can get away
stand up, escape, deflect all the blunted knives
stand up, escape, deflector, escape
-
I knock my head against your wall
but you can’t force me into your world
-
accept me, respect me, except me, expect me
reject me, deflected
-
deflecting it all
acceptance is all
accept you’re a pawn

26th day _________________________________
-
on the 26th day, this is the only way
-
I thought I needed it – no more
the thought of needing it again (is too much)
-
darkness, silence, stillness, your beauty
darkness, silence, stillness, all I crave
-
can’t re-invent myself, so I’m going
where I won’t have a name, or anything
I greet my old friends, and they welcome me
they don’t see the light, but they leave me be
-
darkness, silence, stillness, you’re beauty
darkness, silence, stillness, all I crave
-
on the 26th day, you can’t force me to stay
-
better left undone, left bitter and stained
I’m sick and tired, I’m sick of lying
I had help
-
better left undone, I’m better off now
I’m sick and tired, I’m sick of lying
I had help
-

no shadow______________________________________
-
search yourself for a trace not found
vanish me without a sound
cleansed, no stain remains
you’re so pure, I’m so ashamed
-
I’ve tainted your skin, black tattoo of sin
I cast no shadow on you
I cast no shadow on you
-
Undermined, need you to cling to
you – not just anyone
and I need, but I’m behind you
I’m your disgrace, your mistake that’s gone
-
I’ve darkened your eyes, pitch pours from the skies
I cast no shadow on you
I’ve tainted your skin
I’ve darkened your eyes
but I can cast no shadow on you
-
I cast no shadow on you
I’ve darkened your eyes
but I cast no shadow on you

patterns________________________________
-
show me your patterns, your blueprint routine
tell me your problems, and I’ll act like I care
-
show me the patterns you want me to follow
tell me, tell me the lies you want me to swallow
-
tell me those petty lies, that keep you going
show me your right and wrong, and what you believe
-
show me the patterns you want me to follow
tell me, tell me the lies and see if I swallow them whole
-
you’ve got it all planned out
the next forty years
-
show me the patterns you want me to follow
tell me, tell me the lies you want me to swallow
show me the patterns you want me to follow
tell me, tell me the lies and see if I swallow them whole

close the circle_________________________
-
you just click with the same people, all the time, all the same
self-belief, so very pleased with yourself, looking good, sounding off
bored to tears, you always say the same thing, nothing new and no surprise
closing in, time to close the circle, safe and sound, don’t let them in
-
so in touch, always leading never following, you crave your own
always known your place in all of this, stroke of luck, you’ve found some friends
-
place yourself at the centre
faces all so familiar
inner circle, out of reach – click of one
-
bored to tears, you always say the same thing, all the time, all the same
click of one, time to close the circle, you’re the best, kiss my palm
-
lead, lead but never follow
scene – you know all the people
in the centre, close the circle – click of one
-
in the centre, out of reach, click of one, close the circle
close the circle
-

desolate_________________________________
-
what is there to know, what is there to choose between?
you cannot decide, you can’t be held to account
what is there to fear, what is there left to control?
it’s out of your hands, you’re out of your mind
unknown, but not unknowing, this won’t be your undoing
no other path, the only choice: you can inflict, or you will submit
-
submit, you can’t inflict, submit
-
you’ll surprise yourself, cut off from self-control
you’re in infra-space, you’re flying away
you had your choice, you gave it away
you won’t inflict – so you will submit
-
submit, you won’t inflict, submit
-
desolate – fill yourself with emptiness
desolate – you can’t get away from this
-
submit

outsider________________________________
-
I am nothing, I am no one, I am not anything but your enemy
you are not me, you don’t know me – outsider, forever
-
I am worthless, I’m a loser, I’m beneath you, below your standards
I should follow your example, but you, you are no leader, and I wasn’t born to follow
-
outsider
-
always perfect, never changing
always better, always certain
one thing I do know, is that you’ll be lonely
and you will discover you can’t escape the silence
-
outsider
-
you can’t escape the silence
you can’t escape yourself
you can’t escape the silence
or the fact I don’t belong
-
you can’t even begin
you just know my name
try and make me fit in
if you think I’m the same
-
fucker, deadhead fucker
fucker – useless, bigot, moron, deadhead fucker

worship__________________________________
-
this waste is crushing me, you’re wasted by this crush
I can’t forget your eyes, I still recall your touch
I wouldn’t waste your goodness, or lead you to your doom
you’re both charmed and cursed, you’ll go with grace to your tomb
you’ll go with grace
-
I hope you love yourself, as your destruction nears
I hope you know yourself, as your corruption nears
now that you’ve paid your price, you’re always in my dreams
and if your heart is empty, I will know your soul is clean
your soul is clean
-
worship your smile as it fades
worship the sadness you face
worship the flowers on your grave
worship you, I worship you
-
you’ll go with grace
