it’s based on fact
but it’s false as fuck”

“the biggest fault, which i would personally consider, is a certain amount of arrogance
which makes me say something, which is my own opinion, as if it were a recognised statement of fact
which the whole world was prepared to admit,
with the exception of a few idiots
and this simply isn’t true, it’s the way i say it
and this arrogance, coupled with a certain amount of....
indeed too much emotionalism...
and when I do state facts, leads to people taking what i say as being a veiled threat
and this to me is very serious, to me it has been personally one of my own drawbacks because it frightens people
whom I desperately want to convince”

oh enby...
it’s quite a thing
living your life
making assumptions about
who you are
how you live
then you realise
maybe it only told part of a story
every day you’re
finding new parts of the story
maybe every day
you’re allowed to ask new questions
maybe every day
you’re allowed to see yourself
in a new way
maybe every day
you should challenge yourself to say
is this me?
is this who i have to be?
can i find
or redefine
my identity?
where will i land tomorrow?
who will i meet?
what eyes will i see?

i want to talk to myself
so i can tell me a lie
you’ve got no problems
fuck, you’ve made it this far
you know what you’re doing
when you get in the wrong car
sunday morning
seen from the other side
drifting, discovery
take your time
good choices
bad choices
all the same
don’t remember who i was when i started
and tomorrow i’ll forget again
“what have you been doing all this time?
please explain yourself”

the centre

child in a bubble
tiger cub with nothing to worry about
believed that the rules could save us
trusted institutions would figure it out
oh shit
look how that worked out
now you see how it really goes
once you thought that it could have been great
but it seems there’s always something in the way
why would you listen if you know it’s not right?
if you think you’re in the middle, then what’s on the sides?
“oh but it’s not that simple
oh but you don’t understand
oh but there’s things to consider
oh but we’ve claimed this land
and we don’t want to share”
# 1: fuck the right
# 2: fuck the left
# 3: fuck being polite, fuck hate, fuck debate
fuck the centre

you’ve got to have sugar
tastes so good
it’ll make you sing
can’t get away from it
cos it’s in everything
bring me my cup
and a few sweet treats
let it coat my mouth
and dissolve my teeth
changes how you feel
just like any other drug
just one hit
is never enough
always have some sugar
in my stash
bring me straight up
then a big crash
you want it
you need it

woke up today
decided that i'm leaving cold city
it used to be my home
now it just makes me feel shitty
i'm chasing something
it can't give me anymore
i've got my eyes on the door
"but where would i go?
and who would i know?
and who would i be?
and what would i see?
is that really me?"
but maybe i'm seeing it wrong
and it might do me no harm
to get away from the stress
and all that shit of cold city
i'm at about my limit
then i know it's got a hold on me
i feel like i can never be free
from cold city

tell me how you're gonna be successful today
got your wolf face and shiny shoes
gonna get paid
we got the formula
know it's gonna work for you
you never fail before
fuck off with that loser talk
don't bring that bullshit round here
be a winner of the year
drink another beer
bring in your big smiles and cold eyes
and stay high
to get the prize
to be a winner, you have to talk that way
act that way
even if it doesn't feel okay
nobody's here to play
just make a hundred, thousand, million, billion
stepping over bodies on the way
you're gonna make that sound
maybe we're not actually divine
maybe it's all part of our design
maybe we're the next in line
maybe we should take it as a sign
that we're in decline
no, no, no, no
don't ask that question
this is fine
this is normal
