Flood Clean 02:49
lyrics

So you put your time in have you You seem assured / you fix your voice I just can’t leave it hanging Too many hands on my fucking throat Complained more than I had to But it wasn’t my fault / I was provoked So be a fucking mascotte and help me dig this hole while you Put a fucking smile on it Almost held back/From not giving you a chance Almost held back/From breaking a helping hand Almost held back/unloading dead weight again Almost held back/to pay what I’m owing you Offer grace Like you want me to To save face I wouldn’t count on you To trade place You wouldn’t want me to Offer grace Unless you /unless you

Godlike Ape 04:02

You make me feel like shit Hit the gym hit the treadmill Smear butter wanna sit still I live inside you like a tapeworm You be more strict I’ll obey you to bits Wanna date me/we be stable Lick your feet under the table Godlike ape but we fuck like we’re disabled I’ll cum on your lower back We don’t want kids Rub my brain, It aches Make it better better Shove more gold in my face Get me fatter fatter I’m pushed upwards in age Means I’m richer, get it? Please be open to withstand I know I’m a fucking handful I wouldn’t bite you Promise I’ll be stupid on demand You make me feel so big Swallow keys to the breakroom Do me favours make the weeds bloom Feed me pills, I’m not sick though I will dig a hole, I can bury my shit In the sewers search for handhold I am fertile in this muck cold Wet rag make the tap shine This fucking luck Deep fried grease I’m in it Could say What I wanted In up to My necklace Naked ‘till I’m mummified

Thank fuck You run from me I had time on my side Where’s your empathy Settle for better / I’m getting on track Thanks for the muzzle now please take it back So sad / poor us We’ve kept up shit Inside our pit the sun is barred Pulled up like i’m down for a cause Like I’m down for a cause I’m sipping that old wet And I’m lining up shots back to back Still keeping myself fed And choke when it drips down my neck Keep up on that old wet And give me that / sell me that / give me that Soul of an inbred I’ll step on that /back on that/ step on that /back on that Ledge Thank fuck You run from me I had time on my side Where’s your empathy Settle for better / I’m getting on track Thanks for the muzzle now please take it back I’m sipping that old wet And I’m ligning up shots back to back Still keeping myself fed And choke when it drips down my neck Keep up on that old wet And give me that / sell me that / give me that Soul of an inbred I’ll step on that /back on that/ step on that /back on that Ledge

Inhouse Crier 03:45
lyrics

Slip you a black pill Slip you until you Step up step up 
Come on
 You’re running circles
 Bleed from the nose 
I’ll show you what's hurtful
 Go throw your heart a little closer to god ‘cause a person like me is not a person to trust Some how you will Stick with a crier Who will? You will? Head down when you’re spilling a sea I’ll be kicking all night Keep that face when you’re talking to me I’ll be kicking all night I
 Wouldn’t mind to pop a bullet in the head boy Inhouse crier sniff rip no joy 
Suck a gram for appreciation
 You’re all mixed up with complications 
I Pray to God, hope he hears me
 Ain't no slackin me and while I’m 
Feeling sorry for myself
 And every fucking one
In this wanker circle Fuck it I am done Somebody stop me if Somebody cares Somebody hold me if Somebody dares Nobody knows me Nobody knew Look at me closely
Speaking ‘bout that - hard core truth You’re on the side of your bed boy Whining out so sad boy

You seem ashamed For what Big brain big proud You are Passed around like mad Before See you losing your taste See you You see they make you feel estranged From yours They wanna make you feel the pain Some more Foul eye Its uncomfortable And I can’t avert mine And I can’t All prey All cattle to fry We’re forced to fake it Left my Big morals outside They’re out there vaping Cling to You fly to the light I’m right behind you Small tears Let’s push for a smile You look deflated (Fuck me He don’t even know me) Oh I cry balloons so we can all feel sad I cry balloons so we can all feel bad All prey All cattle to fry We’re forced to fake it Left my Big morals outside They’re out there vaping Cling to You fly to the light I’m right behind you Small tears Let’s push for a smile You look deflated Oh I cry balloons so we can all feel sad I cry balloons so we can all feel bad Hey Hey You want me to rip myself apart Get me euthanised Hey Hey They seem to have fingered their way to your heart When you get a foul eye Hey Hey You want me to rip myself apart Get me euthanised Hey Hey They seem to have fingered their way to your heart When you get a foul eye

Fuck me up like it’s a job Give give give give me more than that Give give give give me more than that Ey Sit down nervous fuck Leave it up to me I didn’t get sworn in I was born in Got my membership for free How many backs you must have soaped up Trauma must be real With their finger on finger on finger on finger on Your plate / protect that shit For now you get a piece (you go) From upset to more upset I’m impressed to say the least No dissapointment / you understand I have think of me Say thank you I’ll extend a hand hand hand If you ask me so Turn my back on plans plans plans So here we go (You should) suck up to someone else else else I already know Today was fucking bland bland bland And tomorrow’s fucking old Bless up I’m drenched in luck These fucking strokes come free Get on with the shine-up I need reminders How the light reflects off me How many rays I see you soak up To be glistening like me And you’re adding on adding on adding on adding on More shit Distract yourself I’ll happily agree to hold your front up Mine’s fading These lies take energy No dissapointment you understand i was only thinking of me Hey thank you push you on your back your arms taped stretched and dripping in piss would you rub off on me like that soft soap/get wet it grates on my ribs s s s sad face of a champ stay well / get help keep me out of that shit I guess you think Im someone else Oh well / no chance You can’t get me to quit You can’t get me to quit You can’t get me to quit

Pop Sensibility 03:44
lyrics

I see veins in your face Tell me why in the fuck you’re stressing Help you clean out your happy place Swim in the deep we can both hold our breath together Some fucking nerve like Ugh! Did I pay for that? Hard work pays of, but nah I don’t wanna do all that I’m a trash person, and what? You’re a fucking gem? Because digging yourself stuck makes you the fucking man? Or just bitter as a fuck Aye say You slow-drip me I wanna drown now, ok? Found Back My fucking lizard brain I thought I was spayed Do you love me like crack Is it true Put two fingers Into For that four-star review What the fuck does it do Cry aloud to the chorus You should get that tattoed Make a face while you suck Get your lip ring removed I’m all smiles, all teeth Make my way through the room Motivational speech I quit listening since You might be four lines deep But I’m acting amused Four lines deep But I’m acting convinced I hope you’ve not fallen prey to the toughen you up They’ll never And you keep the fuck away Passive embrace / they’re just pushing their bodies together They don’t see another way You still have me wanna emulate Take what you want from me Sugary blood you can suck ‘till I’m dry I’m a giver at heart I’ve got that shit instilled in me Shame only gets you so far So soak up the love Be the sponge you could never be All swollen up like you savour the slime Hold up a grudge but you live in a fantasy Clean out their Eye sockets Give me some more of that Pop sensibility
