White Knuckles bleeding into the dust
Cherry red and rough as rust just
Fill my arms with
All the goods that you can
Fill our hearts with
Supply and demand
Overtime eating into your life
Fading looks going under the knife just
Fill my arms with
All the goods that you can
Fill our hearts with
Supply and demand
Medication brought to chill your brain
It’s hard work in a losing game
Fill my arms with
All the goods that you can
Fill our hearts with
Supply and demand
You want love and you want it for free
But sex sells from behind the screen
Fill my arms with
All the goods that you can
Fill our hearts with
Supply and demand

Oh come on, we had a deal
You take the high road while I get high
I wasn't asking for much of it, but still you had to steal
You take the lights and I'll take what's mine
You have the face of middle England
I have the face of a dog
I have the dirty ears of the unwashed
You have the ear of your god
Your saviour's a man of expensive taste
Which always struck me as odd
More at home in your mullioned mansions
Than down here in our mud
Beneath the marble and limestone
We built a warren of thieves
Beneath the sangfroid and cynicism
We whispered things that we mean
Beneath the thread needle three piece suits
We made our clothes out of leaves
Beneath the things that you wanted us to be
We've been the people we've been
Take it, it's yours
We won't act surprised
The world wasn't something we wanted
We found a nation underneath your foundations
Plant a fucking flag
Sanctify the dead
Fill the barrels with (dead) flowers
This one, this one is ours
Build a home for the lost and the forlorn
In the gap between the train and the platform
Leave the lions share for the lions
There are many like it but this one is mine

Hey little Mary with the cemetery eye
She's gonna ride a rusty elevator into the sky
All along the thirteenth floor
She's dragging a broken jaw and naked polaroid
A heavy disguise
When I was born I was seeing double
When I was born I was seeing double
When I was born I was seeing double
When I was born I was seeing double
Rank little narcissists, right wing apologists
Corporate ventriloquists and neo liberal counterfeits
I get so sick of all their posturing and bullshit
While secret predators pose as national treasures
Perpetual interns on another smooth endeavour
It's clandestine it's clever, oh well whatever
Pathological liars and lifestyle gurus with high anxiety and daddy issues Tell me
When I was born I was seeing double
When I was born I was seeing double
When I was born I was seeing double
When I was born I was seeing double
I am the curator of the abyss
You are the cannibal
I am a servant to the wilderness
Lost in the capital
Little Mary was a fortune hunter
A shadow lover from a world unseen
A cloak and dagger as the fools all staggered
Into the honeytrap, into the dream
Panoptic apparitions of the utopian dream
Little Mary's got a secret that whispers through her teeth
She says “We’ve all been suffocated and over saturated
and all these big ideas and blind belief are overrated
Oh look! Oh watch me as I climb on up the ladder
Overexposed and analysed and jumping at my shadow
Falling straight into the gallows with these friendly little fellows
Everybody’s got a story, Everybody’s got to swallow"

Colossal Squid the only one
Fought so hard but never won
We’ve only found defeat
of you fighting in the deep
Colossal scars across the back
of the only thing which you attack
Blue whale king of the sea
is your only enemy
Sail Away
Captain saw the sky turn black
Dead ahead they can’t turn back
He shouted "Let em be"
"They’re the giants of the sea"
Afraid blue whale vs colossal squid
Thrashed and crushed, capsize the ship
Captain never thought they’d be
Just a sunken mystery
Sail away

Light fades to the west
Through the mist I see
Down the road bends
All my friends away
Waves take me away
It’s the confidence that has left you
Then It’s my everyday never ending
It’s the always by your side
Now It’s the changing of the tide
I have made my boarder
I have stood my ground
I will fight for everyday
I will work, yes I will work
You will search, but you can’t find me
You will search, but I’ve moved on
I have moved to a tower
Now I’ll move to the sky
