FLIES

VERSE 1

They’re mining emotion, I’m minding mine

trying to keep it check, mate, I hide from the times

I wonder what they’re trying to do, harvesting fears

conducting an orchestra, all anger and tears

noticed it a while back, people storming out of rooms

made it a show like they wanted a reason to blow a fuse

mate, I was doing it too, but I was a teen that was my excuse

thought we’d all grew, who knew

CHROUS

Tell me are you living how you wonna live

You’re painting the line but do you walk it?

Talk big talking like you taught it

taught grip on your lips in the pulpit

tell me how you sleeping when its beddy-buys

are you feeling happy, when your close your eyes

satisfied that you’re doing all you can

or are there leaks in the plan

it’s going Lord of the Flies

VERSE 2

These days I like to waste time, mining dynamite on timelines

chain reaction inside my head when I see some prick preach about life

like fruit machines inside an arcade when they all hit jackpot at the same time

a thousands like all blinking in sync each unleashing something unkind

don’t like what it does to me, the stress unleashed feeds a parasite

bleeding my dry, leaving be-hind, me full of spite cursing man-kind

white wash the white noise, disguise the white lies,

it’s all my fault when I flap like moff to light
