From Despair To Where

FROM DESPAIR TO WHERE


From Despair To Where

I write this alone on my bed
I've poisoned every room in the house
The place is quiet and so alone
Pretend there's something worth waiting for

There's nothing nice in my head
The adult world took it all away
I wake up with same spit in my mouth
I cannot tell if it is real or not

I try and walk in a straight line
An imitation of dignity
From despair to where
From despair to where

Outside open mouthed crowds
Pass each other as if they're drugged
Down pale corridors of routine
Where life falls unatoned

The weak kick like straw
Till the world means less and less
Words are never enough
Just cheap tarnished glitter

I try and walk in a straight line
An imitation of dignity
From despair to where
From despair to where

A cripple walks in a straight line
An imitation of dignity
From despair to where
From despair to where


Hibernation

I got married 'cos you should
We both knew we should
You do at our age

This stage of our career
Things get tight
A ring helps get a mortgage

To move out of daddy's home
Get a bigger car
Easy access to the city

I can read the papers in peace
And laugh at the homeless
I know my friends criticise

But we get by OK
So what if there's no emotion
We can wake up anywhere

There's never a row
No time for a kiss
When you've got schedules to meet
Trivialities seem so cheap

This is above love
This is more than real
This is all there is
This is as good as it gets
Intense morality parades


Spectators Of Suicide (Heavenly Version)

For the concept of this land
We're gonna walk on this nation
We're gonna walk on this racist power structure
And we're gonna say to the whole damn government:
"Stick 'em up motherfucker! This is a hold up!
We've come for what's ours!"


Obedience to the law is free desire
Under curfew from sharp neon barbed wire
Wasting away this country, wearing like born dead
Free heroin shots for those who will no longer beg

Spectators of suicide
Exploding in society's eye
Spitting glass from our mouths
Dying like yesterday

The only free choice is the refusal to pay
Life reduced to suicidal comforting
Cigarette death, it's suckling
Choked on the same lines that we've all said

Spectators of suicide
Exploding in society's eye
Spitting glass from our mouths
Dying like yesterday

You're gonna shoot us dead with the words we say
You're gonna shoot us dead with the words we say
You're gonna shoot us dead with the words we say
You're gonna shoot us dead with the words we say


Starlover (Heavenly Version)

Paint your lips, things fall apart
Flowers of hate caress my skin now
Spend my time sucked up inside
Mutilation kick off all you believe in

Starlover - you're just a souvenir
Starlover - you're just another prayer
Starlover oh you touch me so
Feels like faces without kisses

Sterile wants spin in my head
I don't need culture, I spit it out
Twist and fall, wounds don't choke
I piss on records, wanna see you dead

Starlover - you're just a souvenir
Starlover - you're just another prayer
Starlover oh you touch me so

A body voice born under torture
Leper cult disciples of a still born Christ
I worship stone so lance my eyes

Miles apart from anyone
Some airwaves of killing oxygen
We queue consuming anything
Hate all songs, aesthetic slavery yeah

Starlover - you're just a souvenir
Starlover - you're just another prayer
Starlover oh you touch me so
Feels like faces without kisses
Starlover
Starlover
Starlover
Starlover
