Product Recall
00:27
|
|||
Risk assess
Divide the cost of payout
By the amount of deaths
And if the costs outweigh the deaths...
Let 'em freefall
But if the deaths outweigh the costs...

It Zanonymous

No one will know your name!
Fill in the blanks and stake your claim!
Free gift, free gift if you sign right here
But I took a hit and it cost me dear
It zanonymous!
That's what they said
It zfabulous!
That's what I read
It zdelicious
So it's what I ate
But they lied, and now
It make me bilious
Roll up roll up! Don't be afraid
You can win big, and we all get paid
But the only lucky bugger is you
And I'm stuck on hold, number 10 in the queue
It zanonymous!
That's what I thought
It zfabulous!
So I bought
It zamazing!
It fell apart
After two uses
And now I'm raging

Neuron fire
Pain perception
Close the gate
On your affliction
Razor wire
Salted wound
Heightened senses
Finely tuned
Central nervous
System, engine
Inhibition
Fever ending
Fear is your biggest enemy
Rejection your greatest shame
Gate control theory of pain
Receptors ping
Signal crossing
Fibers stand
On end like cilia
In full on glacier mode
Potassium overload
Hyperkalaemia
Lilac derma
Halogen toxicity
Violent reaction
Oxidized delivery
Traction mobility
Send out a message
That the gate is... me
Love is your only hope
Forgiveness your greatest gain
Gate control theory of pain
Gate control theory of pain
Gate control theory of pain

1.
Burn down the old arcade
That once played carnival melodies
And siren songs
Cave in the hall of mirrors
And the struts where we felt we belonged
Ch.
Like a beacon in the night
The bright bright pier's alight
2.
Smoke out the fire brigade
It's too late to save the tragic comedians
With their insincere vagaries
Charred out the hollow jokes
Like black and blue and red chameleons.
Ch.
Like a beacon in the night
The bright bright pier's alight
Make souvenirs from the remains, and rebuild and start again.

SGW
00:41
|
|||
It takes more effort to say SGW than it does to say shotgun wound.
And SGW has more than one meaning.
Is it a wound or a wedding, or are they the same thing?

Lost In Your Splinters
00:50
|
|||
I'd give anything to be lost in your splinters
I'd live through an endless winter
I'd cut through the centre
Of the earth
This is your worth

Tchaikovsky Suicide

1.
Forced suicide cover up
Classic conspiracy buttercup
Cholera fabrication shocks
We're still reeling from the loss
Pre-chorus.
You should be ashamed
So what, if a genius is gay
Chorus.
Everybody cried, everybody cried
About Tchaikovsky's suicide
But...
Everybody lied, everybody lied
About Tchaikovsky's suicide
2.
In a 'court of honour'
More like a court of horror
Old classmates order the poison
'Cause you weren't one of the boys, and...
Pre-chorus.
You should be ashamed
So what, if anyone is gay
Chorus.
Everybody cried, everybody cried
About Tchaikovsky's suicide
But...
Everybody lied, everybody lied
About Tchaikovsky's suicide

Memoirs
01:44
|
|||
This is what I've learned during my short time on this earth...
When the light fades
All that really matters in how much love you've put into the world
Has the good outweighed the bad?
Have I been Kind?
Did I care?
Was I honest?
If you can answer yes to these questions, you can close your eyes and leave with a smile on your face
Safe in the knowledge that you've made a positive difference
Safe in the knowledge that you've made a positive difference
Safe in the knowledge that you've made a positive difference
Safe in the knowledge that you've made a positive difference
