Why do you hate me
Mentally Rape me
I can’t sleep at night
It escapes me
It smells like greed
I can’t help you – please
It sounds like jealousy
And it’s a one mine fight
While you’re high as a kite
You can’t call this passion
This is your own obsession
Breathe
You steal the oxygen
Breathe
You steal the oxygen
Words escape meh
5 minutes late yeah
You speak to me with spite
You mess with my brain
It’s drivin’ me insane
I can’t hide or restrain
Negative reactions
Kills off the attraction
I’m edging forward
Only just a fraction
Will it help if I plead?
For some sanity - please
To end this fight
Breathe
You steal the oxygen
Yeah
Breathe

Cigarettes

Met her at the point
With the motorcycle gang
Tight black jeans – big hair
Got the eye of every man
And she’s seen it all before
Another loser at her door
Would I be different
She likes her cigarettes and coffee
And her bright Gorman dress
She likes her cigarettes and coffee
And her bright Gorman dress
She crashed her bike
A week before me
I held it for repair, found the parts
Fixed it up at Greg’s
So I rang her back by 4
Donor bike held in store
New tank and the right hand side

Wake Up

Wake up, It’s now out of your hands
Wake up, Take a stand
Wake up, Cameras watching over you
Wake up, The money’s changing hands
The frog in the pot is leaping out at you
When will you raise your hand
Once your rights are stripped away from you
Then it’s too late to make a stand
Wake up, The populations outta hand
Wake up, The bills are too
Wake up, The boys at the top are grinnin’
Wake up, But are you winning too?
Wake up, Defence is taken away from you
Wake up, The gangs are outta hand
Wake up, Then someone violates you
Wake up, And it’s you that takes the stand
Where’s your data really stored now
Your records are shared
The money’s changed hands now
Your DNA compared
It’s too... late!!!!

Nomophobia

Waiting
For you to understand
Put down that goddam phone
And talk to me
I can’t see the attraction
Why is it so hard for you
The flashing lights
The mental distraction
Yeah… Disconnect from it
Yeah… It’s nomophobia
Hatin’
The lack of anything
While you’re checkin’ up
The messaging
Can you see my reaction
When nothin’s happenin’
The conversations cleared
Phone factor abstraction
Wastin’
The time we’re spending here
We could be soaking up
The atmosphere
Instead the self-satisfaction
When you’re connecting in
Is at new found heights
The weak interaction
