Storm! 04:22
lyrics
buy track
Storm! Blowing a gale out in the cyclone, wind and hail and all alone batten the hatches, evading disaster, scrambling to keep my happy home In the hurricane hold it all together in the driving rain Try to mitigate but this crazy world leads us astray We are blown, in the eye of the storm Danger zone, in the eye of the storm All alone, since the day we were born We are thrown, into the eye of the storm Raging seas out in the typhoon, flotsam jetsam, debris is strewn Try to mitigate but this insane world blows us away Yeah, we're blown, in the eye of the storm Danger zone, in the eye of the storm All alone, since the day we were born We are thrown, in the eye of the storm Over blown, since the day we were born Save our home, full damage control

Ain't Nothin' To It 04:34
lyrics

Ain't Nothin' To It Embarrassment and ridicule simply ain't enough for you Demanding parents and demeaning friends Say you don't want to win but you really don't want to lose Traumas from the past mind-fucking you up again You won't take a chance You don't want to lose No room to advance Procrastinist blues, you got the blues Ain't nothin' to it but to do it Ain't nothin' to it but to fall in love Ain't nothin' to it but to do it Ain't no disaster if you cock it up Uptight all night afraid what people think of you Rather do nothing than risk any shame Knock it back again, make up another excuse Rather burn bridges than face any pain You won't take a chance You don't want to lose You're lost in a trance Inflict self-abuse, yeah, you self abuse Ain't nothin' to it but to do it Ain't nothin' to it but to fall in love Ain't nothin' to it but to do it Ain't no disaster if you cock it up Always quitting jobs, breaking up all your relationships Digging up the past, won't bury the hatchet Faking ills, downing pills Yourself you kill, you believe your own bullshit! Ain't nothin' to it but to do it Ain't nothin' to it but to fall in love Ain't nothin' to it but to do it Ain't no disaster if you cock it up Ain't no disaster if you fuck it up

Gaslighting 03:37
lyrics
buy track
Gaslighting My counsellor she told me that she made an observation My head inflation makes me lack self-deprecation I said "I'm sorry, but I feel that you're mistakin'" I think that she fancies me It seems that she likes what she sees She said my ego makes me misread many social situations Manipulation and other complications Abusing people as I strive for validation It seems that she was hitting on me I don't blame her for liking what she sees Why is everyone chastising and gaslighting me? It's plain to me they envy what they see Analyse me and confine me and they dictate to me Why is everybody gaslighting me? My therapist was worried 'bout the chip on my shoulder Thought she was crazy but I didn't want to scold her I said "it's only in the eye of the beholder" She tried to use reverse psychology In order to get lucky with me Why is everyone chastising and gaslighting me It's plain to me they envy what they see Analyse me and confine me and they dictate to me Why is everybody gaslighting me? My psychiatrist she struggled to make a diagnosis Dodging questions as I asked for the prognosis She can't even treat her own halitosis I guess she's not as smart as she seems Or there's simply nothing wrong with me Why is everyone chastising and gaslighting me It's plain to me they envy what they see Analyse me and confine me and they dictate to me Will they always be gaslighting me? Why is everyone gaslighting or is it just me? I see it hurting almost everybody Abuse us and confuse us into docility Will we always be gaslighting?

Clown Around 04:46
lyrics

Clown Around They say "just grin and bear it, man" Like I have it in a spray-on can Thinking that I'm so deadpan Don't know why they give a damn And why they think that I'm not too well Why the sullen permafrown? You got that resting-bitch face down Sadder than the saddest clown Thought that you were melting down 'Cause if you're happy we just can't tell I feel like everybody's judging me "Why ya feeling so crappy?" "Ya wake up on the wrong side of the bed?" Laughing, and then they're making fun of me "Old Man Mr Grumpy" Like they know what goes on inside my head I think their motives are ulterior Must be thinking they're superior Hey, I'm not faking my exterior To make you feel inferior I'm just wanting to know you well It seems like everybody's judging me "Why ya feeling so crappy?" "Ya wake up on the wrong side of the bed?" Laughing, and then they're making fun of me "Old Man Mr Grumpy" Like they know what goes on inside my tired old head Clown around, not your sad clown Clown around, I'm not your sad clown It seems like everybody's judging me "Why ya feeling so crappy?" "Ya wake up on the wrong side of the bed?" Laughing, and then they're making fun of me "Old Man Mr Grumpy" Like they know what goes on inside my head Stop clowning around

The In-Crowd 04:09
lyrics

The In-Crowd I'll come to your show and support you, man, if you see mine I'll buy your CD and merchandise if you buy mine Well, it isn't cool, if covers are for you, you're catering to fools Have our own little scene, an indie music dream, it's not for old has-beens Hey, what happened to the music playing what you want to play? Hey, what happened to the music, saying what you want to say? Refusing to conform, compete against the norm, standing on a new platform Thinking out aloud, not be part of the in-crowd I'll like your Facebook profile, man, if you like mine I'll watch your videos on YouTube, man, if you watch mine Have our own little clique, don't care about technique, just don't give us your critique We're out of tune and time, our lyrics never rhyme, but our friends never mind Write with integrity, listen objectively, play with authenticity Not being a sellout, not be part of the in-crowd Once a begrudging heckler, thinking that he's better became an adulator Now just another poseur, wannabe composer, a narcissistic vulture In the trendy subculture I'll lick your sycophantic arse if you lick mine Refusing to conform, compete against the norm, standing on a new platform Write with integrity, listen objectively, play with authenticity Just being who I am, play the best I can and write songs as an honest man Not being a sellout, not be part of the in-crowd Hey, what happened to the music?

Arse Backwards 05:22
lyrics

Arse-Backwards A word is worth a thousand pictures, you're feeling so tongue tied Make short story long while the memory lingers, just can't get the words right From the shroud the silver lining has a cloud Always cowed - three's company, two's a crowd In the moment of heat, just let lying dogs sleep, just can't get the words right A blue from the bolt, add injury to insult, you're feeling so tongue tied Well, all right, go chew off more than you can bite You're arse backwards in coming forwards A philodyslexic reformist You're arse backwards in coming forwards You're not standing too tall, you're making no sense at all Board as a flat, let the bag out of the cat, still feeling so tongue tied Hurt never words, kill two stones with one bird, still can't get the words right It's all right, as long as there's a chancing fight For tonight, stars are the shine that bright Break your chains, baby, break your chain chains

Dysphoria 03:32
lyrics

Dysphoria I get the feeling I'm in someone else's body These hands, these legs, these looks they just aren't mine Live each day a blur as an automated zombie Imaginary life like a mime Drive an endless highway searching for the real me Navigate my life's disaster area Is this some mistake or is this just who I'm meant to be Oh, dysphoria Try to lose myself in pernicious distractions Drink and drugs, perversion online Defensive stances and my demonised reactions Wake up with regret all the time Inner sensitivity is not what my peers seem to see Passing comments just incite hysteria Is this a sick joke or is this the real me? Oh, dysphoria Sifting through reams of their social media pages I see their lives so perfect and content My mind it rages as I ruminate on failures Is it only me that's driven round the bend? Who can remember, when's the last time that I smiled? Lost in selfish pity, nausea Maybe it's all me or just my tortured inner child Oh, dysphoria

Never Your Fault 03:21
lyrics

Never Your Fault Well, I don't mean to act defensive and I don't want to be dismissive But you can go and stick your latest missive in the bullshit bin of history I'd not complain if you'd not mess with my brain You only show that guys are all the same Can't you work out it's just a symptom of pain? In your bullshit bin of history Pointing fingers, the nightmares linger Another page on a crazy scene A storm bringer, a verbal stinger You're never wrong, don't you see what I mean? 'Cause I've done this, done that, I no longer give crap I'm sick of all my trying, and I'm sick of all your lying It's the same result, another verbal assault but it's never your fault, is it? Throwing chairs, banging tables, spewing lectures, hurling fables Hey, I found out that you were banging Mable, in your bullshit bin of history Just the same result, again you make me revolt But it's never your fault, yeah, it's never your fault Is it ever your fault?

Foot In Mouth 04:35
lyrics

Foot In Mouth 'Cuse me as I lie to you 'Cause hypersensitive people can't take the truth I'll say you're great when there's no proof You want to live in your fantasy, not based in reality You think you're something you could never be And a sober me will try to keep the peace So I bite my lip and be your fluffer so I don't suffer foot-in-mouth disease Turn on the waterworks to get your way Manipulation is the secret game you play Trigger guilt feelings on which to prey Well slap my ass and call me Sally Sparking sympathy for troops to rally I call your bluff, now I'm standing tough, so sorry So pardon me when I've had a drink or three Loosened lips, I lose my buffer and then I suffer foot-in-mouth disease Well I'm so sorry that I made you cry but truth only hurts us when we live a lie So why don't you try to see both sides? And maybe then you'll realise I won't piss on your back and tell you it's raining When the sun shines out of your ass they'll tell you it's fine When the moon shines bright over head your reach will never make it So I'll speak my mind Be truthful every time

Hypermania The future's uncertain, what's behind the curtain? To live the straight and narrow, not that kind of person Walking a wire, do the crazy things I wanna do A burning desire, so I'll manipulate you too Losing all control, feel like I'm-a rollin' Like a big ball of fire, I'm starting to break on through Hypermanic desire, so I'm comin' to get you Stronger, going faster, getting harder I'm reaching higher and higher I'm getting manic about your love... hypermania Standin' 10-feet tall, feel like I'm snowballing From Jekyll to Hyde, my libido's in overdrive Stronger, going faster, getting harder I'm reaching higher and higher I'm getting manic about your love... hypermania Believe the hype, baby! Not taking no for an answer, getting stronger, going faster I'm getting manic about your love... hypermania

Validation 04:13

Validation Hey, Daddy, look what I drew, just for you Hey, Mummy, see what I can do, to impress you too But I get no attention, it leaves me with the question Why everything that I do, is wrong to you? So no more falling over myself or jumping off-a my shelf to win your validation No more disapproving stares, I no longer care Feeling like a failure, in all I do Can't even ask a favour, from you two Again I have to mention that I get no attention Seems that I embarrass you in all I do So no more falling over myself or jumping off-a my shelf to win your validation No more disapproving stares, I no longer care, would rather live in isolation No more being in despair, I no longer care about your validation

Now I'm Gone 05:10

Now I'm Gone Clock is ticking through another dull day Lamenting heartaches as my life slips away Misdirected by the nonsense they say Ill-information got me lost along the way Late night, toss and turning in bed Endless dread and so on eggshells I tread Terrorised by the noise in my head Haunted by the screams of things I've left unsaid Do what you love and love what you do Time to start things anew So I'm packing and moving to somewhere life is worth living Yeah, I'm packing and moving to somewhere we are forgiven Now I'm gone Letting go of the person I've been Put behind me all the bad things I've seen Abandon nightmares and embracing the dream Resurrection, time to cut the ties clean Do what you love and love what you do It's time to start things anew, time to move on through Movin' on
