Wolves 03:24
When we lost I saw you cutting out the parts you don't want I felt you stepping over lines that we'd drawn Power from secrets, god I thought you'd know I watched you guarding all your activism Mistaking glory for conviction We came to tell you that your war is not won And that your cover is blown Gone. Wolves dressed as sheep dressed as wolves. Run, Demons spill out of the halls. And had they not smelled the blood We could have been safe by now It's all gone It's all gone Una mattina, mi son svegliato O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao Una mattina, mi son svegliato E ho trovato l'invasor. O partigiano, porta mi via O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao O partigiano, porta mi via, Che mi sento di morir. I saw you cutting out the parts you don't want I felt you stepping over lines that we'd drawn When you were haunted by the thought that we'd lost And all your secrets were nothing at all I saw you cutting out the parts you don't want I felt you stepping over lines that we'd drawn When you were haunted by the thought that we'd lost And all your secrets were nothing at all So tell me how does that compare to all my love? So tell me how does that compare to all my love? So tell me how does that compare to all my love? E se io muoio da partigiano, O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao E se io muoio da partigiano, Tu mi devi seppellir.

Thrones 03:02
My faggot eyes never saw my jester's outfit and their thrones Socially earn my keep Then it's drug, drug, drug, till we're on my own Act like I'm enjoying it You've got a soul like a dead cigarette Kissy kiss, the walls have ears As you drag, drag, drag my name through bushes Living off the plan Oh yeah you know what that is I'm too sick to stand Oh god, you've seen what that is Goes up like cream, does it Not burn a teensy bit You say mirror mirror, I got sick Until it hisses back "you look good with it" He said sweetie All the bad things happen to me And by proxy They'll come to haunt you baby Living off the plan Oh yeah you've seen what that is I'm too sick to stand Oh god, you know what that is Lies lies lies lies lied to me Lies lies lies lies lied to me Everybody is now an enemy Everyone in this town is history You fucking liar You liar, you lied to me Lies lies lies lies lied to me, oh I know now who to believe You came just to fuck it up for me

So, evil by choice If not by rights But as I stay to the end Hurt about now It's ok but Don't you have friends to impress? It's about me It's about you Handing out change in the world Get what I need You get what you want All of these people are dead You got me chatting to the vultures I better wait til the end Compared to living with the butchers I'l be more safe with the hens (Hey it's OK) No, I don't wanna be there When you come down I don't have much you deserve Didn't it work Just like a bad dream it's not a shame you're unsure It's not the drugs You're not my friend I'll not be told it's a fail Get what I need You get what you want And all these people are dead You got me chatting to the vultures I better wait til the end Compared to living with the butchers I'll be more safe with the hens

We hated all the records that they played But we went, and we danced anyway But if we couldn't say it in the club We're never gonna say it now, because The trust we used to have between us is gone. And if we couldn't say it in the club We're never gonna say it now, because The trust we left at a protest somewhere is gone. (What has been has gone) Standpoint, queer perspective (What has been has gone) Vampire, so abjected (What has been has gone) Standpoint, queer perspective (What has been has gone) Vampire, so abjected What has been has gone It consumes me now What has been has gone It consumes me now What has been has gone It consumes me now What has been has gone It consumes me now If we couldn't say it in the club We're never gonna say it now, because The trust we used to have so deep has gone And if we couldn't say it in the club We're never gonna say it now, because The trust we clearly never even had, is gone

Bore Off 01:44
All aboard, For the bullshit ride of yr life @ me now Sad about you cos I guessed all right Get me drunk Heard about you from yr friends all night Man/machine Sad about you cos I guessed all right I'm so bored of public schoolboys Counterculture woke communist ploys You bought the way to control the noise I'm so bored of public schoolboys Yeah, Warned about you by yr ex last night Starry-eyed Trusted you until she saw the light Caught out there, summoning me Turned you down & then I got told right Crossed the line Yr the one they're gonna blame all right I'm so bored of public schoolboys Counterculture woke communist ploys You bought the way to control the noise I'm so bored of public schoolboys A kiss it tastes of enemy blood Looks bad so you don't talk about it Oh god, it reeks of enemy lies Oh but, he's just a regular guy

I'm not buying it, buying it And I won't queue up just to try it In this temporary town it's Quite hard to keep a friendship I walk the underpass & ring road Still dreaming of that disco Where all the uncool kids can go & they get to do all the things that they love & it's much better than a place to walk & it's much better than a place to hide & it's much better than another drink & it's much better than a way to die & if you want me I'll be yr friend No matter how little time we spend Just promise that we're both being real & you'll never ask me how I feel Didn't anybody tell you Avoiding life'll kill you & the job so abusive you die there each day Is the sound of you being robbed? Didn't anybody tell you You were the most beautiful kid in the world? Fast forward to the drinking & you know you can never be told (You're unhappier then) Didn't anybody tell you That all the things inside you Are there to be enjoyed? Discovered, but not destroyed? Didn't anybody tell you Yeah maybe, if you want to You'll someday catch the eye of another whose heart is true? That must be better than a place to walk That must be better than a place to hide That must be better than another drink That must be better than a way to die & if you want me I'm still yr boy No matter how much of me you destroy Just promise that we're both being real & you'll never ask me how I feel
