8 EP -- Legacy

LEGACY

If you fear transition to your other life
Don't need money to be there
Leave behind your money just to prove your worth
Won't be here so I don't care
If you strap your conscience to your vision thing
Won't be here so I don't care
Prove your worth to people that you called your friends
Won't be here so I don't care

I wouldn't care if I was washed up tomorrow you see
Reading novels is banned by the Marquis de Sade
All relationships are emptying and temporary

Life is wearing me thin
I feel so drained, my legacy
A sea of faces just like me and
Life is wearing me thin
I feel so drained, my legacy
A sea of faces just like me

I've been drained, emotion is a bitter fate
Won't be here so I don't care
I concede relationships have left me weak
Won't be here so I don't care
Look for something worthy to replace my guilt
Won't be here so I don't care
Prove my worth to people who I called my friends
Won't be here so I don't care

Nobody cares when you're gone

CAN'T AFFORD TO DIE

Fingers severed on a mirrors edge
Isolated with no respect
Conversation has been replaced
Punctured slowly ideas escape
My possessions are all I have
One man's medicine poisons man
My subconscious knowledge safe

In my coma, in my coma again
In my coma, in my coma again, again
In my coma, in my coma again

Get respectable faces donned
Turn blind eyes to what's gone on
Slowly leak ideas through
Would you recognise I knew
Used expressions to converse
In my coma I do not hurt
Feel much better but I'm still not cured

SPASM OF IDENTITY

La la la laaaaa!
La la la laaaaa!
La laaaaa,
La la la laaaaa!

They never made it easy
2 bit reject spasm of identity
La la la laaaaa!

La la la laaaaa!
La la la laaaaa!
Laaaaa,
La la la laaaaa!

They never made it easy
(Too much choice made it different for the sane boys)
2 bit reject spasm of identity
La la la laaaaa!

CHECK UNDER THE BED

You see my fear looks like laughter
That's why you'll never hear me scream
And I'm learning to rule in my simian shoes
Tradition has absorbed the sickest things
(Another fear looks like laughter)

And they're grabbing with paws
Somewhere I am not safe
In their animal's place
Claustrophobia maze
Ideology faked for a simian race

Trip me up
I become a nervous wreck
Put me in a padded cage
And I call it my domain
With my shoelace trip me up
I become a nervous wreck
Put me in a padded cage
And I call it my domain

I know my fear looks like laughter
That's why you'll never see me scream
And I'm learning to rule in my simian shoes
Tradition has absorbed the sickest things
(Another fear looks like laughter)

WIDE OPEN SPACE (THE PERFECTO REMIX)

I'm in a wide open space, I'm standing
I'm all alone and staring into space
It's always quiet thru' my ceiling
The roof comes in and crashes in a daze

I'm in a wide open space, it's freezing
You'll never get to heaven with a smile on your face from me
I'm in a wide open space, I'm staring
There's something quite bizarre I cannot see

I'm on the top of a hill, I'm lonely
There's someone here to shout to miles away
I could be back in my house, for I care
They do not hear me, it's the same old case

G.S.O.H.

Hello? Oh, yeah, uh
Shy male 25 seeks blond girl 18 - 25
For long nights in by the fire, reading and maybe more
Must have good sense of humour

Must have a good sense of humour
Makes me laugh
A P.O. box number and a photograph
Looks are not important, but I want a photograph

I was wondering if you would like to meet up for a drink
I'm young, free and single
That's if you count two kids and a broken marriage,
And do you like dogs?

Oh yeah, hi
Thanks for replying to my ad and
Would you like to meet on Saturday?

THE IMPENDING COLLAPSE OF IT ALL (ACOUSTIC)

Needing, dying, parasite the same
Just to be removed from all your ways

I know that you know
I know you know
I know you know
I know that you know

Born without feeling, growing from reading
Parents for breeding, inherited feeling
Born without feeling, growing from reading
Parents for breeding, inherited feeling
The impending collapse of it all

I can feel it, preconditioned fall
Recognise the fear inside us all
Knowing all that's ever gone before
Understand collapsing of it all

SKI JUMP NOSE (ACOUSTIC)

I'm gonna sit on my own, maybe all alone
I'm gonna lie on the couch, but I won't go out
She'll take it easy again, ending up in hell
Just like the scum of the earth, but I'll crash here first

We're all in this together
Ski jump nose forever

Yeah, say we're gonna keep it together
Yeah, say we're gonna keep it together
Yeah, I don't wanna talk about it

She's gonna get herself out from her plastic town
She's gonna get out her house, gonna get down south
She'll take it easy again, she'll end up in hell
She's only playing the game, change her name again
