Aiming For The Iceberg

I'm having one of those days when I need to unwind my mind
Pick apart the puzzle but I still can't find inside
An answer or a clue and my patience is shot
So cut my cortex with a scalpel like the Gordian Knot
Cos I'm getting really tired of refraining from saying
All you cats are fucking crazy cos the train's derailed again
You act like it's normal and trouble is afar
Like a Saturday-night star singing “Que Sera”
Ta ra! Get fucked, better believe I've had enough
Of you ignorant bastards and you fatuous cunts
You shit sucks so much I wanna chuck my guts
I've gotta get away but the gears are rusted shut
Man I've walked the line, kept defying and trying
To change this world that keeps sighing and dying
What more can I do? What else can I say?
I just can't shake the feeling it doesn't matter anyway
[chorus]
Which way we headed?
Full-steam ahead!
The iceberg's lurking
Forward to death...
This global Car crash is headed for catastrophe
Melting ice rising water lost is a mind bending fallacy
Flat earth fantasy scientists paid off handsomely
A Solar flare ends this dead pageantry fled war strategy
Where did he touch you show us on this Vladimir Putin effigy
It’s all about energy he who stores more owns everything
The mentality of the the rich white right wing..
Sells them guns then take it off them with conflict fighting
The message is on the wall can’t you read the writing..
Or are you frightened you should be it’s frightening
We the freaks in this tent, surrounded by clowns wearing crowns pretending to be kings to a crowd that keeps paying for this circus instead of shutting it down

Balancing life as the end grows nearer
Overloaded ready to blow like Akira
Dreamer ya Never to old I’m a believer
Lost in world that doesn’t really exist
Behind the giant black mirror cysts
A realist that persists to coexist on the grave shifts mailing list
Admit it’s gibberish I call myself a lyricist
But you rarely listen to this… Pointless
Delete my friend list all the pretenders
Those who use to look up now look down
There bigger than me now it all grew
Out of hand now to many finger prints on the crown
I speak my mind and get cancelled by the crowd
Blame the kid who shot the school up but not the bully that led him to do it
The white kid has problems but the black kids a terrorist that’s what led him to do it
Cult factions of the same bible manipulated for hate
Brain wash brains arm him with hate
gibberish scriptures translated to rage the fuse lit
Cut out chapters to avoid any aspects of peace
And kill the suspects on the streets just like the police
Don't believe in what you see cos life is like a magic trick
You only see the distraction, I never saw the attraction
They drug kids cos they fear reaction
Their passion is basking in misery, they need inaction
They literally lack the ability of compassion
Check the history it's not a mystery
Acts of war are how they kill us it's vicious
Stay suspicious
[chorus]
Ghoulish, foolish
I was born in this world I didn't choose it
Sick joke of a life, I can't do this
Cos life is beautiful but you abuse it
Illusion of choice is not amusing
Cos you could be free but you refuse it
Always a struggle to get through this
And in the blink of an eye you can lose it
The mirror stares back, man, who'd you think you're fooling?
I'm talking to myself in an empty room and
Once again thoughts arise that I'm wasting my time
And no-one gives a fuck what's playing on my mind
Cause we've heard it all before, yeah I've got nowt new
Views like a broken record playing in an endless loop
Reiterate the state of the world is screwed
I don't really mean to bore ya, it's just what I do
But fuck all that, man give us a new tune
Not the same ideas you've been rehashing since '02
You're supposed to be creative, you're supposed to be clever
But I kinda get the feeling that your head is full of feathers
These morbid monologues about my many failings
Go round my head like spiked park railings
Do they keep me in a cage or keep the world at bay?
To tell you the truth man I really couldn't say
Either way I live with it from day to day
And it doesn't really bother me that much anyway
I can live with being a waste, don't take up much space
Just leave me alone and I'll face up to my fate
And all along the way I'll maintain my play
At art and ideas and the urge to create
Like Kropotkin said, “Sow life all around”
I'm only human, I can't help but get down

My life’s nowt a winning lotto ticket wouldn’t sort out
But I’m the wind to my own house of cards and I laugh as it falls down Trapped inside the four walls of this dolls house
That’s kinda where my mind Belongs now
I fell before the last furlong now I’m stuck in a queue in the glue factory I wish I knew happy instead a new agony
Need a recharge a new battery but I knew that’s just fantasy
It’s a familiar place baron just more snakes in the grass
I find it hard to trust been burnt twice I live in hope the hurt might manifest into love at first site
Nope another snake that turned to bite
No one to talk to this time fuck man I miss Mike
Rappers round here will never make it to the big show
Cause the whole country thinks we’re nowt but jokes
Hard nose folks…drunks fuelled with coke grabbing strangers by the throats at night
How many people that know u bought ya CD or came to t a show just to see
How many Added you to there Spotify playlist
Not just one track but the whole LP I bet neen
[chorus]
Nee more fucks to give
Just get out there and live
Nee regrets or rules
Cos this is all there is
Not afraid to fail
If you sink or you sail
It doesn't even matter
Cos this is your tale
They say the grass is greener on the other side
But he uses chemicals and pesticides that kills of the rest of the country side
You can see the sadness in a dying rabbits eyes sat on a lonely road at night waiting for you to drive by so you can take his life
No more kids to feed no more nagging wife bliss from the high speed
Pissed you just missed he goes back to his crib without any food to give
sat in his chair as she loses her wig and his mixamatosis starts to itch.
What cruel fate is this… He wants to move to his next date
But heaven isn’t a place it doesn’t exist its mental state no pearly gates now how do you feel about fate.
So all those people who cause ya stress are effecting how you envision heaven.
Cut them off, tell them, your not welcome no longer have to live in hell don’t let them effect what you become
now you control the outcome

I couldn’t be what you wanted me too
Inside I fractured like kid Cudi man on the moon
Alone by my self in a room felt like a loon
My mate had cancer but I felt like I was dying too
Another died in a car crash what do I have to
Turned to Comfort food and bloated like a balloon
Couldn’t get a lass to sing the same tune so it’s one night with you then on we move
I live in the hope I’ll find someone soon
But days about to die I can see the moon
Can’t help but feel used sat singing the blues Feeling like if I move I’ll find something new but what do I lose
Excused, cocooned in my shell let loose in my own hell
left bruised hard to tell but the fuse lit a feud like a junkie with a spoon I can feel it move in my blood cells..
I’m addicted to you when I lose what the hell
I wouldn’t hear the truth at any decibel
Is this my farewell was she just a Jezebel
How can I love someone when I don’t even love my self
Another compelling chapter filling the book shelf
Wondering if I should look for love or just get help
Kid my self like I don’t have an issue with my mental health
Life can be tough at times Life can give up at times
And it’s easy to follow suit Pull the trigger and follow through
Filling the day with blue and I still never found somebody like you
So I sit and I smile
[chorus]
Heart-breaks are ten-a-penny these days
All these chances gone to waste
I know it hurts but
Won't you give me a smile?
Heart-breaks are ten-a-penny these days
Feels like hope is out of place
I know it hurts but
Won't you give me a smile?

Stabbed in the back left to die
Days go slow as I close my eyes
Here I lie a man finished with life
Losing my mind soaked in plight
Losing the fight as dark envelops the light
It never lasts long before the day
Over and over and over again
It’s a Cycle of decay
As fibre and proteins feed the land I lay
Life’s end starts a opposite display
Conditioned for existence to begin
Eggs cover what use to be skin
Life of Maggots grow from with in
My soils start new where life has been
Blowflies lay eggs and sing
The buzz and the hustle of the glutton
Plenty to feed an to thrive off a chosen
A merry week of the flies in the erosion
they feed on my weak wet eyes soaking
The Bleak regrets as stenches rise
The buzz filters into a silence in here
heat changes the atmosphere
Washed fresh from the rains that come
Carbon dioxide and water forms sugar
that make oxygen and feeds off the sun
The cycle of life is deemed on what the bees have done
In my mud the flowers bud
Beautiful and bright with love
Golden yellow and red heads adorned the tall stems
Unaware what it all meant
They too meet a cruel end
Plucked from the roots when beauty shines through
Bundled together a beautiful crew
Given to you Placed in water next to the dagger you drew
You strike again, the cycle repeats
Because of you
Oh the nectar's sweet, you just can't resist
To pick up the pollen so the cycle persists
From one bloom to another so the sequences twist
And only ever regret the ones that you missed

I had that dream where I was falling from space
feels like hours pass then I fall flat on my face..
I Wake in a small place the walls fade and shows it was all fake
but I have my foot stuck in the crawl space..
A thousand hands grab me and it all changed
it’s a large cave with a phone ringing but I can’t answer at all..
It’s a memory I know it’s Micky on the other end
it’s clear I’m just missing my friend..
I grab it but all I heard the dial tone on the other end
there’s a hole in my heart that’ll never mend..
The road forks and I’m at a dead end
I’ve a pen in my hand But there’s no words to write in the pad..
Each page disintegrates into ash
taking with them the stories of our past some to dark to broadcast..
To think we got it to shrink but it really wanted to win
The scene changes the second I blink..
I’m on the cliff staring off into the brink
with a glass full with water to salty to drink..
This is where it was to begin I start to sink
I feel it crawling through my skin
I wake thinking I’m never going to sleep again

Political gangland number ten criminal’s
Steal votes analytical honesty's mythical
Formidable visceral cretinous miserable
They lie through the telly ask David Kelly
Democracy isn’t on solid ground it’s jelly
Talking so much shit it’s getting smelly
pushed us over the edge no turnin’ back
They own papers there murdering facts
Ignoring us more tax Serving banks
We sit back observing the ruling class
Investment companies rule the world
To turn a profit they’d watch it burn
The lines are blurred we never learned
They're never accountable it's unheard of
We’re laid off its the age of the paid off
One rule for them another for us
Working class, we suffer the sucker punch
Death to the NHS, blame it on the credit crunch
Security tags on the butter, forced to adjust
No justice for us, just more mistrust
They need to be handcuffed
(Up against the wall motherfucker!)
[chorus]
In the fires of the riots truth rejoices
But what's a protest with no noises
We've gotta burn it to the ground
Like Bommy Night, too right, start the fight!
And let me hear ya voices!
Moore says capitalism is evil eliminate it
But we can’t change it we’re to Sedated
Reliant on the money we’re all making
Trapped by debt different type chains
Still slaves just the meanings changed
not black n white but the fears the same
When we shout nobody hears the claim
because every-time we are to blame
Come together unite and shout louder
The taste is sour time take back power
Boris and Rishi is proof of the abuse
These fucking clowns haven’t a clue
Neither have I neither have you
Because they control news n hide truth
See We hate them for what we do know
But imagine what we don’t though
Illegal methods used for stolen votes
They pay off friends who go buy boats
This covid fraud is an unimaginable cost
37 billion in track and trace just lost
Fucking disgrace the lot
Over tax the working class
Then pay us it back when capitalists won’t pay to support an inflation wage
We are the illegitimate kids of there affair there dirty shame
But not again - this time let's make them pay!

Something Else

We get in it for the good reasons
But some how bad intention creep in
We all need something to believe in
Cause at some point we are all leaving
The curse of want the curse of love
We’re bound by being human beings
We stop doing what we need and what we should
Falling in love adrenaline rushing in the blood
The addiction the attraction the passion
Money is distraction when endorphins flood Ignoring the need of interaction stuck
A lonely soul can only imagine how it’s fashioned by luck
Hate war death murder alone and lost dumbstruck by lust
postponed by cost Time thrives when it’s forgot
Cast off as an afterthought as we rot
In this nightmare world things could be magic
But your reality's a fantasy so it ends up tragic
A failure to imagine what's in front of our eyes
The skies weep as we sleepwalk to our happy demise
In this nightmare world things could be magic
But reality's a fantasy so it ends up tragic
The inevitable surprise is a played out shock
And I don't think I wanna stick around to watch
Searching for peace for something else
Each person needs a least a little help
Each star connected is felt
Its expected as well when we suffer defeat
Outlooks mount up the rejection is bleak
But it’s the connection we seek
Everything connected but we never speak
What is expected of me In a world caught by things it thought up
Progression ignores us and haunt us still
Attempts to reverse progression but cobalt kills
We never know the end no sell by dates exist
We can never mend this because it tends to persist
We find fear daunting so form Friendships
Some don’t and choose to end it
Some defend it with clenched fists
While the rest expect a mention in the credits... dead it!
Can't we just try
Something Else?
Can't we just give it a go?

The void is devoid of a civilised voice
choice is a flip of the coin a hit to the groin
till you realise the point
Truth is cooked till it boils
Symbolised and spoiled separated over conjoined soil
they watch as we die
No cure for cancer till we Legalise a joint that's more criminalised than bitcoin
the bosses all lie while bankers smoke that shit on foil
kill for that oil until it’s all flushed down the drain
What will they do tax us again?
the facts still remains they act with disdain
it will all crumble and die the jungle is wild
laugh as they stumble in style eating humble pie
with a drop of clotted cream
Lost and surreal living in an adopted dream
just another forgotten reel from a movie nobody made
and it will cost you a meal to rewatch a scene.
Lock it in ya memory vault an mentally gloss over many of the faults
then get a penny for ya thoughts until they’re full spent on the rent
Lost the plot of the story and what was meant
what’s real and what’s pretend who’s an enemy who’s a friend
who cares when it come to the end Don’t make a sound not even a peep
What am I fucking asleep….

I spent almost my whole life with the feeling something was holding me back From following a chosen path I use to get low and crash I didn’t know to ask Being diagnosed changed all that So I never noticed facts
everyone trying to wake and I was trying to sleep
To tired to hear what my body was telling me uninterested in listening Untested Distancing further symptoms signalling gestures dwindling Whispering triggering thoughts woken brain cells glistening
Lost in My debilitating condition My mind released from its prison
Set free to a future hard to envision
A mystery From an obliterated history
Now I’m much more calculated Stimulated and elevated
with a need to be educated
My thoughts are more formulated and uncomplicated
[chorus]
And so in conclusion let's have no more illusions
Or stubborn refusals to acknowledge abuses
All things must pass, all passions and hate
Seems it's just our fate to learn our lessons too late
So give and take as you find, we have our faults and it's fine
Tell the truth, shame the devil and keep an eye out for the fault lines
There's beauty and pain in this life
Let it wash over ya but don't let melancholia bury ya
The feeling of melancholy
Was really my own therapy
Thinking of my eschatology
I had to balance it carefully
It stunted the man I could never dare to be
I couldn’t love you pet I never knew what life would throw next
Where I would go next I Hated my own self
You hated me before I came out the fog
Treat me like a disobedient dog
But see my thoughts were waterlogged
You should fear the fuck out of me now
cause I now know what I’m capable of
Years of silence drowned by the yearning of a rusty cog
Now my thoughts are wild and clear
It's the Killing of a sacred deer
Now i have to make things right here
