‘One Mad Afro’ Lyrics

-some just don’t deserve to breathe…

Whats going on in the home, is fear a tool in your hand
Behind the skeletons in your closet the ghosts of your past stand
Father filling a role, just as he preached to you
And you don’t know whos world to believe in, make it up as you go

Just as you were a child, legacy to look wild
You demand and expect to receive, like a right that’s devine
Now you ask for the earth, sad excuse for a man
Your children learn your arrogance from the back of your hand

Keeping your faith in your handout
knowing your children will never know better
Take my word now preacher, parent, deceiver
Your right to this life you must earn

So are your children at home? Are they safe there from harm
Do they shudder in fear at your footsteps
Or are you loving and calm?
And from a ditch you can rave, you can preach you can save
Post colonial trauma stress boy or just too lazy to bathe

Violent behaviour, cycle breeding failure
Shame and greed they stain you, share the pain that makes you
Father filling a role just as he preached to you
Now you don’t know whos world you believe in do you?

‘Bubblehead’ Lyrics

-you think you know someone… the bitterness lingers even after the breakup

Twisted sick and bitter, I should’ve known better
Blistered sickened skin, the Karma got in
Guilty plead guilty its such a selfish crime
You think you know better God it kills me every time

She got no right, she got no need, No agenda, its just her greed
Time will tell, and its just as well, you believe in justice, I believe in hell

You’re broken a martyr you’d never understand
You’re wasted and ruined like a sacrificial lamb

‘Craw’ Lyrics

-Come sweet revenge

Growing inside of me like an incomplete seed
like the beginning of sin you better watch out
Like a dog has its day how I swore you would pay
Every moment implore your destruction

Man of conscience you’re not, one more promise forgot
One more day til we meet, well can you pray boy
Man of patience sit tight til your knuckles turn white
Now the end is in sight and I can taste it.

To take another and hold him under
For pain inflicted its pure vindictive
Your Karma get you come round collect you
Its absolution, I’m executing
We bleed together this is forever
We share the breath so near to death
We bleed together dark comes to get you
Its absolution and my heart beats on alone.

Justice sweet when served cold, like the lies that you told
Like your eyes when you stole, you better hold tight
And it pushes you down, is it nice when you drown
Regrets far too late price of betrayal.

‘DHP’ Lyrics

-a palpable stench. Some people are sic

I see you call your little game
Change the rules and change the blame
But nothing ever stays the same
The more you live the more things change
I watch you crawl across the floor,
Washed in shame you beg for more
But tell me who its all been for
Make your peace then close that door

And their snakes begin to twist, they slither and they hiss
And the poison that they spit, smells like death and hate and piss

I never died before today
Never lived in so much pain
And as the world forgets my name
I know we’ll never be the same

‘Pet Hate’ Lyrics

-you can only avoid the mirror for so long…

Here is everything I always wanted
Here is everything I’d ever need
I know my pet hate wants to destroy me
I know my pet hate is me

You don’t want to live that way
Bleed before you grow
You know you don’t want to stay
But you don’t want to go

Here is everything I never wanted
Here is everything I bleed
Reveal to all the beast inside and
I know my pet hate is me

‘Liar Liar’ Lyrics

-Sure had me fooled… we all know one…

Your eyes are cold like steel
You don’t flinch and you don’t feel
And a friendship forged in fire don’t mean nothing to a liar

Well its pain you’re creating
Your loyalty is always changing
And your lies as tight as wire come so easy to a liar

Well I try I try to defend you, justify my misplaced faith
Hollow man your time is going to come
and I’ll spit right back into your face. Liar Liar.

You can expect what you have given
Price you pay, this life your living
Sell your trust then cheat the buyer
One day you’ll pay lonely liar

‘I Monster’ Lyrics
