another body for the bone yard the dogs all sing their songs you’ve heard this one before but refuse to sing along wrap them round your finger hang them round your neck no one gets the trophy if the fight is always fixed say it how it is how you planned it another body for the bonfire he thought the choice was his No one’s gonna let you down the way your father did at your husbands funeral they say the circumstance was strange you waited in the car couldn’t make it past the gates never again you’ll make sure of it you get what you give and you won’t give an inch nobody’s gonna hurt you if nobody can get in you get what you get a heart in house arrest snapping at the legs that try to jump over your fence the clothes that smell like chloroform face down on the hotel floor a last name you always hated filed for divorce, already separated and people who talk get caught people who hesitate get put away all these rats in the walls and noone left to disappoint you get what you give and you won’t give an inch nobody’s gonna hurt you if nobody can get in you get what you get a heart in house arrest snapping at the legs that try to jump over your fence you won’t give an inch

bite trap. 03:50
Compress the chest Kissing like the love of your life never left Bleeding in a car park Beaten half to death By somebody you just met (Do you feel anything yet?) How clean, Cutting off the clothes (This is an emergency!) Strong enough to drink Deep enough to drown in (Somebody do something!?) It’s a charm It’s a pleasure Shaking hands and drawing daggers A guarantee I don’t believe. I know better It’s a trick It’s a trap The new car smell of the body bag A maison d’être I could never Use myself In good conscience Or self defence Mercy me The paramedic won’t quit It’s gonna cost some ribs (Put your back into it!) The heart is starved Of the blood that you’re kneeling in Finally, An overnight stay in the hospital honeymoon suite Pull out the IV That you've been suffering It’s a charm It’s a pleasure Shaking hands and drawing daggers A guarantee I don’t believe. I know better It’s a trick It’s a trap The new car smell of the body bag A maison d’être I could never Use myself In good conscience Or self defence Spending all your money on the court proceeding isn’t going to stop them leaving One for your health, one for your problems, one for the way to solve them House in order, your finances, hell is empty Take your chances It’s a charm It’s a pleasure Shaking hands and drawing daggers A guarantee I don’t believe. I know better It’s a trick It’s a trap The new car smell of the body bag A maison d’être I could never Use myself In good conscience Or self defence

PLEASE the mask is slipping stagger in like laboured breathing if you’re desperate? I get it do me the courtesy of introductions they’re gonna sell your house at the police auction if the roof you built won’t hold the water I can make you a better offer THEY TOOK EVERYTHING AWAY FROM ME I REMEMBER EVERY ANNIVERSARY HANDS TO THE RAFTERS CHAIN BY CHAIN DESPERATE TIMES, DESPERATE MEANS MORAL PANIC, DISBELIEF knee deep and the work is thankless lined up in the street to shift your assets carved out like guttering and the rain won’t stop falling it’s a matter of perspective a tragedy or a death wish paint what you see but this family has to eat THEY TOOK EVERYTHING AWAY FROM ME I REMEMBER EVERY ANNIVERSARY HANDS TO THE RAFTERS CHAIN BY CHAIN DESPERATE TIMES, DESPERATE MEANS MORAL PANIC, DISBELIEF kick the door in to the central bank this doesn’t have to end with violence put the money in the bag, no sudden movements and we can all live through this everybody calm, fingers on triggers, fingers on silent alarms in the air, sirens scream news crews are televising the whole thing you have no options left you’re not the only one here that hates yourself if you can’t get what you need neither can anyone else THEY TOOK EVERYTHING AWAY FROM ME I REMEMBER EVERY ANNIVERSARY HANDS TO THE RAFTERS CHAIN BY CHAIN DESPERATE TIMES, DESPERATE MEANS MORAL PANIC, DISBELIEF

forebodies. 03:28
through the coming dark the light you brought is not enough a bloodless, brutal, selfish heart you’re a menagerie of character flaws what you’ve seen conclusive & damning showing all your scars all your severed parts you don’t know how you got them but they made you who you are. FOUR BODIES, FOREBODING LIFELESS AT THE SCENE EXCUSES START THE SAME BUT NEVER SEEM TO MEET ARE YOU WHOLE YET HAVE YOU FOUND IT FOUR BODIES, FOREBODING WHAT WE CAME TO SEE WHICH OF YOUR BODIES GETS THE UPPER HAND EVENTUALLY ARE YOU WHOLE YET HAVE YOU FOUND IT focus centering on the point of the pressure on the middle of the pain if the metal’s hot enough beat it back to shape if the bone dislocates break them into place growing into someone new sewn together, bullet proof the blown out window suits the view ballet in the background and a massacre in-front of you FOUR BODIES, FOREBODING LIFELESS AT THE SCENE THE EXCUSES START THE SAME BUT NEVER SEEM TO MEET ARE YOU WHOLE YET HAVE YOU FOUND IT FOUR BODIES, FOREBODING WE CAME TO SEE WHICH OF YOUR BODIES GETS THE UPPER HAND EVENTUALLY ARE YOU WHOLE YET HAVE YOU FOUND IT dangerous, a confident speaker spoken like a true believer dangerous, a confident speaker spoken like a true believer and you’ve seen things you can’t explain are you missing time, or born again
