You're going 'round living lies Dreams are made into a disguise Snap decision brings the curtain call This deadly secret will kill us all The surroundings are the perfect place People go missing without a trace Accidents happen mysteriously No witnesses lay in the trees Nobodies safe and they drop like flies Terrorfied and confusions rife A noise once trapped rings in the ears Total surprise as you confront your fears Band together try to fight it off Gone too far, now you've gotten lost Too scared to see and comprehend Poetic justice served in a dead-end Naked figure holding out a knife On the beach under the moonlight When the time is right, your time is up Your flesh won't even feel the cold blade cut

Spiders 03:07
On the ceiling right above your head Creeping up your bedspread And crawling through your hair There's spiders everywhere Spewing from the sewers come eight-legged feverish fiends To drag down hosts and food for the ever-demanding Queens They sneak into your homes and they snatch you from your dreams Before you have a chance to let out a single scream The venom from their bite renders you immobilized The chitinous horrors then carry you in the dark where the reside Strung in webs and meshed to walls stare dozens of vacant eyes Their bodies filled with eggs, already met with their demise Silken webs Dinnerware silver We're not guests We're here for dinner Cries of help will go unheard As spiders have come to take over the earth The clash of exoskeletons bounces off the sodden walls As the swollen army gathers occupying all the halls A hiss of high pitched chatter can be heard above them all And off the spiders crawl, to heed the battle call A massacre's the beginning of an annihilation coup So precise in execution people had nothing they could do Not a single word was heard or reported on the news Human life as it once existed has vanished without a clue Silken webs Dinnerware silver We're not guests We're here for dinner Cries of help will go unheard As spiders have come to take over the earth Silken webs Dinnerware silver We're not guests We're here for dinner Cries of help will go unheard As spiders have come to take over the eaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrth (aaaahhhh, wwwaaaaahahahahhhhhh, gaaaaaahhh)

Lock up your daughters... 'Cause I'm coming around I read your lips been at the base of every dick in town You fuckin' whore soon I'll have you lying dead on the ground [yow, wow] And there's a scream in my head At the thought of hands touching your body Like a hungry fly on a pile of shit Grab my bag 'cause I've gotta plan If I can't have you then nobody can Your scent enters my nostrils and prickles my hair Let's go to your room so we can be alone my dear Try not be maudlin 'n shut the door Next thing you know you're down on the floor Straddled by lust and suffering rage The darkness takes control and I'm on a bloody rampage Flashing images, puncture sounds, Hack, cut, grind, fuck Crimes of passion now in fashion Provocation justification Everyone loves me I'll get off lightly Palliate with self-defense And canard with sexual prowess I'll expose and expand on what you've done to me You'll be seen as a whore and I favourably Then I can forget this whole fantasy Out of the black and into the light Hubris all exposed doesn't make for a pretty sight Nor do the memories I recollect Hack, slash, grind, cut The nation soaks up my every word But I'm accused of being guilty, I think you may have all misheard The future's starting to look awfully grey The chant outside says: "Throw the key away!"

Grey pallor complexion like a cloud's cast a shadow on me Burning candle at both ends, no bottle has set me free The land of forty winks isn't at the end of forty drinks But there's headaches and hallucinations that I dread I'll sleep when I'm dead I'll sleep when I'm dead Yeah, I'll sleep when I'm dead Seems the only way you'll get a pillow to my head 's when I'm lying in my coffin on a cold, satin spread I'll sleep when I'm dead Sleep when I'm dead Insomnia's crippled me with a vice-like clutch on my brain Can't discern reality or pleasure from pain No longer do I worry about bills, cheap thrills or annual revenue I stare at the ceiling and morbidly look forward to The sleep when I'm dead I'll sleep when I'm dead Yeah, I'll sleep when I'm dead Seems the only way you'll get a pillow to my head 's when I'm lying in my coffin on a cold, satin spread I'll sleep when I'm dead Sleep when I'm dead Sleep when I'm dead Sleep when I'm dead, no thoughts will fill my head Sleep when I'm dead, no thoughts will fill my head Sleep when I'm dead, no thoughts will fill my head Sleep when I'm dead, no thoughts will fill my head Sleep when I'm dead Sleep when I'm dead

From coal mines to the streets I can't get my mind off the beat Spreading like a plague That begins at your feet Making you weak And now as I speak The dead rise from the depths Chilled spines collect dust Minds rot from dreams turned to rust My imagination brings them out of the night Into the light Ready to fright We've got to fucking... ...go Weary eyes look from outside To try 'n escape the night People start to panic Find a place to hide Them entering the room signals the beginning of the end Breathing hard Your heart beats fast Wonder how much longer this can last But as you're staring at your shoes There's nothing left to lose The dancing's all been done All that's left to do is fucking run... RUN!

On the horizon of the dancing sea An abandoned ship seen through the haze A ship that has seen better days Waves whisper a name in the breeze And heed a warning if you step on board You won't go back to shore Where are all the crew What drove them to the sea There's six months worth of food And cargo for delivery The binnacle is untampered And mainsail's blowing strong But the wardrooms are empty There's no trace of what went wrong Faintly in the distance Land approaches in the view Miles from nowhere and Uncharted hitherto Then comes the song Sung so softly and so sweet But it's the Sirens calling for us Swap lethargy for retreat Marie Celeste Marie Celeste What you've found on your quest Marie Celeste Marie Celeste Speculation can't match All you have suppressed A dire aroma Starts to seep up from below And then an explosion adds To this fearful tableau The ocean starts to roar Like the planets opening wide The ship it bends, it twists, it splits As different worlds collide This ship is bent on cursing Everyone that steps on board Roaming the oceans Never finding any shores Something shouts: "exterminate", Clouds culminate in the sky As fog surrounds the ship To claim more victims in it's reprise Marie Celeste Marie Celeste What you've found on your quest Marie Celeste Marie Celeste Speculation can't match All you have suppressed

Bad Wolf 02:09
Haunted by two words that are thrown about the cosmos Stalked at almost every turn by their enigmatic presence A riddle in time you hope you can solve before it is too late Precautions set in place to be the master of your own fate Are you afraid of the Bad Wolf Are you afraid of the big Bad Wolf Are you afraid of the Blaidd Drwg BAD WOLF There's a message inside these words with lives hanging in the balance The futures doomed if you can't save them from the present An ontological paradox will save your life, oh yeah I've stared into the heart come on take me on... if you dare Are you afraid of the Bad Wolf Are you afraid of the Schlechter Wolf Are you afraid of the Blaidd Drwg BAD WOLF Are you afraid of the Bad Wolf Are you afraid of the Schlechter Wolf Are you afraid of the Blaidd Drwg BAD WOLF

Bird Dog 02:12
Johnny is a joker [he's a bird)] A very funny joker [he's a bird] But when he jokes my honey [he's a dog] His jokin' ain't so funny [what a dog] Johnny is a joker that's a'tryin' to steal my baby [he's a bird dog] Johnny sings a love song [like a bird] He sings the sweetest love song [ya ever heard] But when he sings to my gal [what a howl] To me he's just a wolf dog [on the prowl] Johnny wants to fly away and puppy-love my baby [he's a bird dog] Hey, bird dog get away from my quail Hey, bird dog you're on the wrong trail Bird dog you better leave my lovey-dove alone Hey, bird dog get away from my chick Hey, bird dog you better get away quick Bird dog you better find a chicken little of your own Johnny kissed the teacher [he's a bird] He tiptoed up to reach her [he's a bird] Well he's the teacher's pet now [he's a dog] What he wants he's been gettin' now [what a dog] He even made the teacher let him sit next to my baby [he's a bird dog] Hey, bird dog get away from my quail Hey, bird dog you're on the wrong trail Bird dog you better leave my lovey-dove alone Hey, bird dog get away from my chick Hey, bird dog you better get away quick Bird dog you better find a chicken little of your own

about

Some songs that we laid down to get a sense of achievement and hopefully that people like. With all the genre hopping we do it's good to stop and actually 'listen' to what we are doing and where we are going.

about

Small Victories Dunedin, New Zealand

I find it futile to try and snap out of my nihilism, so instead I distract myself with small fictions set to fast music.
