I am the monster, I am the beast I am the back room that you will never get to see I am the vampire, yeah I made you what you what you are I’m the deceiver, I’ll tell you that two and two and two is four Be sure when you’re watching me that I don’t see you ’til it’s over ’Til I bleed out Keep quiet and watch your mouth, who knows what you’ll find out Wet lips, big eyes, our tongues entwined Wet lips, big eyes, our mouths obliged Be sure when you’re watching me that I don’t see you ’til it’s over ’Til I bleed (Keep quiet and watch your mouth) I am the monster I am the monster I am the monster I am the monster I am the king, who gave up the throne, To wander the earth, to wander alone I slipped through the streets I slipped through the cracks, But I will rule again… Bleed me out, Keep quiet and watch your mouth, who knows what you’ll find out Who knows what you’ll find out, Who knows what you’ll find

I know it’s late but that’s okay Kill all the cute and slip away Drunk on exhaust fumes, I’ll absorb you, make the world a better place Can’t quite believe what you just said, Pull the cord and leave for dead, A modern twist on classic cancer Let’s split the difference either way And then agree to walk away, Another monkey off my back I set a trap to catch the beast But he saw me coming and trapped me He treats me well, I suppose But I’m determined not to die in here We go the one, then the two, straight to five Get involved, put your back into it And what we lose we will simply just hide It’s not like anyone is looking for it anyway, no. And what we lose we will simply just hide. Can’t quite believe what you just said, but then again who cares? Well? Not I I guess like anything, there is always another side But I don’t care to hear it in this case I’ve heard it all before, and I’m so tired Take me to the countryside Take me to the countryside, I’m desperate for a quiet life I pulled off all my city skin and realised I’m alien Bad things don’t only come at night, there’s monsters hiding in plain sight I tried to shout to warn you all but nothing came, no words or sound at all

Spaghetti 03:13
I walk the road with the sun at my back, ignoring those who have tried and failed They walk blindly through the fields, heads down, back to the bottom I see them now, all around, dead eyed and cold as fuck My body sways to the sound of regret, the chorus tempts me from the road, The only way for me out of here, head down, back to the bottom If you need me I’ll be found, where the waters drag you down Ballroom dancing to the sound of cracking, twisted, open veins Back to the bottom.

Polydactyl 02:57
I leaned in for the handshake, now I’m confused Is this a new kind of animal, or just polydactyl? I won’t lose my shit, I’ll keep my temper down So you’re wrong, you’re wrong, you’re wrong, you’re wrong I’m ready for the job we do So dark in here, behind closed doors, But I’m not scared, no I want more I’ve been waiting, restless, screaming out for some attention Stick your fingers in grab hold the first thing that you find then you pull This was all about tonight, I did everything to make it right All you had to do, was keep your mouth shut for an hour or two And you fucking ruined it So now you put me on the back foot, oh what to do? Kitty cat got a mean streak, damn polydactyl If I Lose my my shit, I’ll never get it back But you’re wrong, you’re wrong, you’re wrong, you’re wrong I’m ready for the job we do For the job we do

Tiny 01:19
Can you believe that this is what I wanted, everything I’ve ever dreamed about Has finally come to pass So why do I still need you to tell me that it’ll be alright It’ll be alright, it’ll be alright ‘You’ll spill the bottle as you slip away but that ain’t your problem any more’ You’ll be alright

They found them hanging from the walls With crooked hooks and metal holes Their little broken open hearts beating Violence, I’d like it better if it hurt much less Now, wouldn’t that be sweeter for all concerned As you wrap your legs (do it, do it) Up around my face (do it now) There’s the briefest glimpse (of it, of it) What we used to call love It’s the teeth that make me nervous, row upon row on display Oh who’d be a mouth doctor, well not me anyway They don’t use them for breathing just eating Or is it the other way round It’s confusing to be by that hole Looking in upside down Don’t breathe Open season here (shoot it, shoot it) Pull the flesh apart (suck it down) It’s the strangest thing (honest, honest) It was right here just now As you wrap your legs (do it, do it) Up around my face (do it, do it, do it, do it, do it) There’s the briefest glimpse (of it, of it) What we used to call love Cold hands, warm heart Go ahead dig in man, it’s okay to start Everybody eat somebody, everybody eat someone

We got the drop on the fear, we got the drop on fear, And now’s the time to capitalise on it On the take, on the snake, oh, we’ll never forget You step out and then the world becomes a different place Kiss the big bad mouth, before it bites you it bites you it bites you We got the drop on the fear, we got the drop on fear We got the slip on silence, so you can relax Bury your head in the sand, whilst we cover your tracks This party is just for you, you wouldn’t be here if you knew What’s going on back there right now, When your name’s called that’s when you’ll find out Big blade fall to cut my face 2 Votes for Dirty but I, I say we stick to the lie Ground shakes followed by the rain I never felt so alive, I never felt so alive I drank the fluid til I got blisters on my tongue Remind me why I did that again? Despite the way you think this looks, sometimes it’s better not to know ‘Cause the truth can hurt you, and we need a denial that’s plausible This party is just for you, you wouldn’t be here if you knew What’s going on back there right now, A puppet show engineered by spooks We rope ‘em in but they chew right through Can you figure this one out on your own? ‘Cause only real men will give in and gloat Thick blade call to cut my face 2 Votes for Dirty but I, I say we stick to the lie Kiss chase, counterfeit my face I never felt so alive, I never felt so alive I drank the fluid til I got blisters on my tongue Remind me why I did that again? I’m the big bad mouth - you can kiss me if you want to

Knock Knock 05:08
You hear me knocking don’t let me in, don’t let me in You hear me knocking don’t let me in, That’s not me outside, it’s not me outside Just do it quiet don’t make a scene, don’t make a scene, Just do it quiet don’t make a scene, You come in to my house, come in to mine…. I’m told that things are gonna change, but they always stay the same You’ll come a running you wait and see, you wait and see You’ll come a running when you realise how much you need me How much you need me You just can’t catch a break You know you should be happy with what’ve you got So if you don’t mind I will help myself to anything I want I’m told that things are gonna change but they always stay the same

Bitter 02:39
Well we were standing around pointing and laughing All in agreement that we were so much better than our fat mate on the dance floor And then he looked right at me and he said: ‘Don’t you worry about me, I’ve got a new set of friends And I aint bitter’ If you think I’m not sorry, just look at what I’ve become

Watch the colours, bleed and fade I’m ripe for satire, rich decay The last little piece of self respect is scattered out amongst the crowd My prosthetics overload A catastrophic surge of irony It’s time to explain to your children that their dad will never be the same again He’s come back different, there’s been a change we can’t explain Lift super weight, muscle down, make the headlines Work like a dog, pay your taxes like every good boy should There’s one slipped into each episode A little glimpse of a face you know Not representative of the show Read all about it, ‘bout it Read all about it

Blister, I spread it around like the booze at a funeral So good you get to share it with the rest of the class But sometimes I get the feeling that you think this is some kind of joke Well it aint I got the Juice to do the techno I wanna see you move I rock I roll I kill I cannonball Jive or twist will do There’s a pulse Ad now there’s a throb and a twitching too So you’d better promise me That you won’t get in another car If you do I will lean hard, lean hard on you I think you heard me I got the Juice to do the techno I wanna see you move I rock I roll I kill I cannonball Jive or twist will do Your body, schematics, it’s all just semantics I fit right in with the people in the palace I wrote it, I sang it, the fools thought I meant it They keep banging on about this that and the other I’m teaching Professor the other kind of lesson We beat one another ’til it’s raw, ’til it’s raw They point and they whisper, but I don’t care about either I’ll keep fucking dancing ’til I’m gone
