can you see me exercising
my restraint
cut yourself in two pieces
play the victim
set the bait
it's a scene of a violent nature
there's danger out at sea
if you know how to swim
where there's trouble
you can find me find me find me
it's not a problem
until you make it one
I can tell it like it really is now
it's the cross I bear
all confused in the turn of the tide
you're the problem
I'm the cur...ator of online merchandise
you can try to drown me out yeah
but I'm holding the key
where there's bottles being thrown
and a camera
you can find me find me find me
I'm riding the wave
you've nothing to say
it's all a mistake

I'm no paleontologist
no reason for digging up history
they say old wounds never heal right
but when you've clawed your way out of a body bag
you've a reason to live, a purpose
feeling ready to take on anyone
like a champ squaring up to a bigger dude
no challenge is insurmountable
getting excited
by all the opportunities
so you can live like a guttering candle
or a sentient molecular structure
there's hope if you just keep positive
I hear cocaine is a great start
gives you confidence, fills you with adventure
makes you ready to take on anything
like a wanker climbing up a mountain
no challenge is insurmountable
getting excited
by all the opportunities

I was young once
I had many carefree days
my wife was an angel
until she passed away
I used to write music
I wanted to change the world
but that's all in the past now
I'm no longer so stupid
nothing excites me
life has lost its zest
might just close my eyes for a second now
sit back and rest
...
why don't you keep your kids under control?
it's almost like they want me to explode
all I hear is kick kick kick of the ball
I wish they'd just leave me fucking alone
those waste of time kids
those good for nothing kids
don't know they're born kids
never amount to anything kids
those cheeky little pricks

you've had a skullsworth of second chances
but this could be your last
you should've seen it when they looked straight through you
but that moment passed
you like to think you held a captive audience
in the palm of your hand
the sky's the limit and the world's your sandpit
but you can't understand
this darkness you're feeling
can't stop this heart beating
(I'm never getting out alive)
you came away with a seasoned corporate
bad taste in your mouth
the meetings dragged till you lost sensation
from the waistline south
it's like a thousand kamikaze pilots
arrowed through your soul
take off your tie and look down at your body
it's full of tiny holes
