"If you want a picture of the future/
Imagine a boot stamping on a human face, forever..."/

theyll shoot me i dont care/
theyll shoot me in the back of the neck/
i dont care down with big brother/
they always shoot you in the back of the neck/
i dont care down with big brother/
dont hug me im scared/

Two years old, held/
By the Ministry of Love/
Against his will; FREEDOM IS/
SLAVERY drilled into his skull; WAR IS/
PEACE - yeah, tell that to his scars; IGNORANCE IS/
STRENGTH? You couldn't feed that to the proles! BIG BROTHER IS/
WATCHING YOU ******* in your cell again, twisting his black moustachio/
The Man is not a man, but a figment: an imaginary friend to Party animals/
Enemy of the State; workeatsleep, but don't you dare wake up/
Eyes wide shut: life is blackwhite bootface crimestop/
Telescreen watchmen twentyfour/se7en for/
Signs of broken down mindcon-ditioning/
We all non-live in a Miniluv pyramid/
Scheming our escapes: daydreamin'/
Of meeting in the place where there ain't no darkness/
Sitting, weeping in the harsh white light.../

Crying hysterically/
A bundle of bones in filthy underclothes/
Grey all over with an ancient, ingrained dirt/
These starving brutes will shootout of the cage like bullets/
They can get inside you; leap on your face, & bore straight into it/
But who cares? Down with Big Brother! They'll shoot you eitherway/
Even if you betrayed the whole universe, including Julia/
The worst thing in the world is in Room one-oh-one, but/
What happens when they finally pull the trigger?!!/

BANG!/

Forget the spirit of man; I believe in God/
True Power isn't merely mentaltorture or physicalforce/
You can't make me perfect - two plus two makes four/
Thoughtcrime on my mind, & it can't be controlled/

Thirtythree years old, held/
By the Ministry of Love against his will/
Brain still not washed enough to blow out of his skull/
Stuck in purgatory, rodents gnawing at his soul... just waiting for the Day./

I can't sleep/
Thinking too much/
Bell ringing outside the window/
And something's wrong with my stomach.../

Distant voices mumbling incoherently in discord/
A broken record gradually amplified to distortion/
Abort mission failure: mental patience stillborn/
The red pill can't be cancelled by the reborn; sorry/
Johnny's in the corner again, near the toilet/
And I'm not talking to myself, you're just not special/
Red Bull in a china shop; Lucifer in the sky with kaleidoscope/
Eyes on me while I try to close my.../
Vicious cycle; vivid psychedelic psychological spiral/
Habitual line-stepper, part-time pathological liar/
Aspiring sociopath with a mask for the outsiders/
A walking contradiction if the shoe fits/
The truth is confusing when you're tuning in & out of reality/
Imbalanced; my chemical romance is in tatters/
Distracted by the static and theatrical behaviour/
If you give me a Pepsi, I'll let you evaluate me psychiatrically/
I claim I want to change, but I'm just babbling/
It's too hard; I always give up, or give in to the whispers/
They win again! I wanna pull the pin, and end it all/
I'm a radiohead, with no metal in my skull... yet/
My idle threats are just cries for attention/
If I paid more than seeking it, then maybe I could get some/
Introspective only after episodes/
Life's a drama TV show about a lonely bipolar girl/
Mind remote control has vertigo and stubborn buttons/
Don't push me 'cause I'm close to the cutting edge of self-destruction/
My lousy husband even wrote a ****** poem about it/
All I have to say is that it takes one to know one, Hunny/
Either way, I'm awake - I can't sleep/
Thinking too much; I think something's wrong with me.../

You're just not special/
You're just not special/
I can't sleep/
Thinking too much/
Bell ringing outside the window/
And something's wrong with my stomach/
Distant voices mumbling incoherently in discord/
A broken record gradually amplified to distortion/
Abort mission failure: mental patience stillborn/
The red pill can't be cancelled by the reborn; sorry/
Johnny's in the corner again, near the toilet/
And I'm not talking to myself, you're just not special./

IT ONLY ENDS WHEN MY PHYSICAL BODY DOES/
IT ONLY ENDS WHEN MY PHYSICAL BODY DOES/
IT ONLY ENDS WHEN MY PHYSICAL BODY DOES/
QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT!/

My dual lives are incompatible, I know/
One is a true lie, the other is a blue pill/
Keeping it too real... uncomfortable/
Perpetual spiritual tug of war/

It only.../

Unfocused, claustrophobic, aggravated/
Frustrated enough to punch a blackhole through a baby/
I threw the last stone like a fastball to Hades/
Let's rock! Somebody save me from my own freewill/

You know the drill; spill the blood of animals/
Sacrifice the spark to recapture the shadow/
Gathering the dust of my shattered dreamzzz/
Just to throw it back in the faces of the shayateen/

Pay no heed to the disbelievers/
Skin the snakes, evict the demons/
Shoot the monkeys, drown the phoenix/
Muted screams are the sound of freedom... ding!/

I need a fix, because I'm going down yet again/
Down to the bits that are left of myself/
And if the mouse howls, just try to ignore it/
But the sun can't stop the moon from getting blue/
Gnawing at your soul.../

My dual lives are incompatible, I know/
One is a true lie, the other is a blue pill/
Keeping it too real... uncomfortable/
Perpetual spiritual tug of war/

It only ends when my physical body does/
It only ends when my physical body does/
It only ends when my physical body does/
Exhaustion.../

IT ONLY ENDS WHEN MY PHYSICAL BODY DOES/
IT ONLY ENDS WHEN MY PHYSICAL BODY DOES/
IT ONLY ENDS WHEN MY PHYSICAL BODY DOES/
EXHAUSTION./

You dodge bullets... I jump in front of them/
Russian roulette; if I don't lose, you don't win/
I've got the whole world under my skin/
And I'll go down swinging with a blade in my hand/

Blunted on reality/
I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but I can skin you/
Snake Whacking Champion; no sympathy for the devils/
Dare you sample some of this stress in my life?/
The Scissorhands of DOOM cutting off my air supply/
Gloom on my face, man/
Fuelled by vibrations, feeling... evil again/

The monkey on my back is a guerrilla/
The Zoo has a "no returns" policy/
Constantly conflicted: resisting Godzilla/
Playing ping pong, piggybacking King Kong/
And honestly, he's getting on my nerves/

Words mean nothing; she won't wait forever/
I'm clutching one too many universes/
The time/space continuum is broken.../

I don't know what's real, living this fake life/
Where nothing beats us up more than the mundane/

Whatever, man/
Talking all that **** again/
Yeah, I know right... and I'm not even finished yet/

Forget peace, we want justice/
I don't just turn the other cheek; I return to seek vengeance/
Eye for an eye: you'll all be blind soon/
Tooth for a tooth: you'll all eat plates/
Fang in the oculus/
In the shade, in the stone garden of the octopus/
Out the box, thinking about how to get more oxygen/
Scar on my wrist to help remind me of my covenant to GOD/
I'm good for nothing!/

I cry only when it's inappropriate/
And I fight only to convert my opponents/
Bodies on my sword never share my thoughts/
When the corpse get heavy, cold shoulder the world/

And who's toxic?/
Give me a purity ring, I'll put my rot in it./

Cabin fever dream/
Anxiety ruined my first everything/
But everything's alright.../

People think I'm negative/
I'd prefer realistic/
With some heavy surrealism in the mix/

Life's an experiment/
Death's a religious experience/
And I've been speaking in tongues forever/

They don't understand me/
And it used to make me angry/
Dual existence as a magnet and a *****/

I'm the strangest stranger/
Faceless nomad/
No-one knows me, only what God shows them/

And that's what's up/
Nerves shot into dust/
Astronaut lost in space without a suit/

I'm the strangest stranger/
Faceless nomad/
No man knows me, only what God shows them/

Never sell out/
They try to wear my soul out/
I wear my soul outside my physical/
As spiritual body armor.../

FIREBALL./

I am not a bird/
I'm a rock/
People can't move me/
Only God can throw me/
Curveball at your brain/
The box is unopened/
I'm on the outside/
Floating through space/
Timeshift jigsaw/
Whiteflash rollover sideways/
Memory overlappage/
Imperfect loopage/
Phasing in & out/
Two turntables spinning/
Vertigo/
Skipping town/
Like a rolling stone/
Let's rock.../

Breakups in the A.M./
Fall back to sleep/
Back caught a rusty blade in it/
Brain drizzle permanent/
Cold vein ****** pulse cannon/
False idols shut the **** up/
Or get throat cancer... ahem/
I'll hack it out with a boxcutter/
Allaah, give me strength/
Let me **** Godzilla/
Manic Chainsaw Man in Morin Hotel/
Wear the devils down/
'Til they offer up their hearts/
Please make it stop/
Then I tear it apart/
Break the faucet off/
And bathe in the blood/
Yeah... The Force isn't with you/
Life is crystal skull disco inferno/
Death is withdrawal in a courtroom/
She's a drama generator/
With a broken off switch/
I don't go outside; I don't like ****/
Isolation tank alt reality check?/

Get lost... in my head like a hole in a wall/
Dark knight of the soul./

I hate you/
All you bring is trauma & chaos/
The only reason you got married? /
Trick someone to save you/
Bloodsucker/
Stuck in a hole you can't get out of/
Digging deeper/
And if it rains, we're all gonna drown/
Like rats in a cage/
Another slap to the face/
And you play so dumb/
I'm gonna die of frustration/
Suicide/
The card you hold over my head/
Because your problems are my problems/
Whether I like it or not/
Nothing is ever your fault/
You've always got the best excuses/
Every time you get caught/
Just create another drama/
And you play so dumb/
I'm gonna die of frustration/
Give me just one reason/
Not to blow it all up/
But you can't./
