In Patterns 04:47
In Patterns Head down, grit your teeth Grit your teeth and make your peace with misery Cos that’s all there’ll ever be For you and me, for you and me We chose our destiny We build our own shackles Cage ourselves in patterns So nothing ever happens. Wait now, rub your eyes Rub your eyes and step outside Outside the frame you’ll see things more clearly The fallacies, the possibilities You choose your destiny We build our own shackles Cage ourselves in patterns So nothing ever happens Deny your fate, destroy create. It’s not too late, destroy create. Na na na na na na na

Cracks in the surface Your painted face has cracks in the surface Your pep talks only make me feel worthless Garbage in garbage out Shut your mouth, shut your mouth You make me hate me And I don’t deserve this. (Lies) fall out of the fractures (Lies) slip through the apertures (Lies) the slits and the splits and (Lies) crawl all over me Your smile is all teeth All teeth and no eyes What lurks underneath, I’d rather not find. Garbage in garbage out Shut your mouth, shut your mouth You’re one sham handshake Over the red line (Lies) leak out of the fissures (Lies) each rift and division (Lies) and crevice and cranny (Lies) crawl all over me (Lies) pour out of the punctures (Lies) the rips and the ruptures (Lies) the gaps and the gashes (Lies) crawl all over me

Turbulence 04:23
Turbulence What hope left for us now? Shrouded under a sombre cloud of uncertainty. Will we die here or learn how to survive here? We shelter in sound Clinging to the strings to keep from falling. A perfect release, determined to find peace in this turbulence. We are iron clad Braver under the iron mask of creativity. Checking out of reality. We shelter in sound Clinging to the strings to keep from falling. A perfect release, determined to find peace in this turbulence. Oh oh we are fireproof. Oh oh we are death proof. We shelter in sound Clinging to the strings to keep from falling. A perfect release, determined to find peace in this turbulence.

Wardrobe Malfunction Naked for your debut and all the rest is drag. Hipster, vicar, princess, fag. Zips clips buttons like bars on a cage. Slip into your uniform and behave. Oh behave! Know your role, yeah, your wardrobe. And in your raincloud suit you’re the invisible man. Rat race leatherface killing Peter Pan. Wolf wolf grandma, wolf wolf grandma What you hiding? What you hiding under there? Know your role, yeah, your wardrobe. Yeah yeah yeah yeah You’re as strange as us What’s in your dressing up box? You’re as strange as us What’s in your dressing up box? (Stop staring cos it’s not your problem) You’re as strange as us What’s in your dressing up box? (Stop staring cos it’s not your problem) You’re as strange as us

Yoyo 04:25
YOYO So they fed you a fairy-tale They only meant to protect you Maybe they didn’t know That it’s the truth that frees you. There are no streets paved with gold And pretty much you’re on your own Everybody gets lonely and cold sometimes That’s how it goes. So now you know life’s not a fairy-tale Sometimes a wolf will get you Maybe it doesn’t know That it’s supposed to feed you. There are no streets paved with gold Pretty much you’re on your own Everybody goes down the wrong road sometimes That’s how it goes.

Big Wheel 03:17
Big Wheel Swallowed whole by a goal History is a horror to recoil from wounded And you never learn Despite what they tell you, it’s consistent The cycle, the hindsight But you’re already moving Already leaving, your wheels are turning Before you let the past decide your future Kiss it goodbye, kiss it goodbye. Followed home by a groan Anxiety has jagged teeth but prise them open Cos you gotta grow Despite the confusion and desperation It’s cool, you’ll be alright Cos you’re already moving Already leaving, big wheel is turning Before you let the past dictate your future Kiss it goodbye, kiss it goodbye Now you’re already moving Already leaving, big wheel is turning Before you let the past devour your future Kiss it goodbye.

Deeply Unlovable No sisterhood. I wish you would be open armed. Entirely disarmed. But you side-eye me, shape and size me. Compare, contrast, always a first and last. And it’s a shame, it’s such a shame. It’s such a shame, and we don’t need any more shame. Deeply unlovable, yeah. No self-respect ‘til we reject the tags they hang around our necks. Cos they divide us to undermine us. Puke wax nip tuck Nothing’s ever good enough. But it’s a game, it’s all a game. It’s just a game and we don’t need to play your game. Deeply unlovable, yeah. Cut it out….. Deeply unlovable, yeah. I feel so Deeply unlovable, yeah. Why do I feel so Deeply unlovable, yeah.

A Life Saving Operation All the shoots died one by one. And all the girls howled at their doom. Hold on to your tune, always gets you through. Blue bruise suits you. Don’t look now, you got a cheap crown. Turn that frown upside down. They’ll never let you be you. Who knew life could be so cruel? A clear conviction, a blast. A lifesaving operation. Bringing your temper back. Run away from it, run away from it, run away from it all …until you find yourself running headlong into a wall. And all the roots tied themselves in knots. A twisted fist. A community oppressed. Coming together as one to prepare for the worst. Hold on to your friends. Save you in the end. Ruby shoes, through and through. Don’t look down, a permanent frown, turns your crown upside down. The problem with you is you. Why d’you have to be so cruel? A clear conviction, a blast. A lifesaving operation. Bringing your temper back. Run away from it, run away from it, run away from it all …until you find yourself running headlong into a wall.

Chasm 04:55
Chasm The noise is crackling underneath my skin I don’t know where it ends and where I begin This hunger gets stronger It defines everything and all I am It overrides, devours all A chasm opens up, an insatiable drive. Its avaricious jaws locked open wide. This hunger gets stronger It defines everything and all I am It overrides, devours all Crackling, crackling, crackling.

Unfolding 03:53
Unfolding I need to un-numb, coming undone. Cos it’s no fun being no fun. I promised myself I wouldn’t do this. But here I go running from that black dog again Takes all of my strength not to let this swallow me whole Can’t you see I’m unfolding? I need to dry eye, stem the supply. Cos all this why why won’t make things right. I promised myself I wouldn’t do this. But here I go running from that black dog again Takes all of my strength not to let this swallow me whole Can’t you see I’m unfolding?
