1. EMOTION SICKNESS

Erupt again ignore the pill
And I won't let it show
Sacrifice the tortures
Orchestral tear cash-flow

Increase delete escape defeat
It's all that matters to you
Cotton case for an iron pill
Distorted eyes
When everything is clearly dying

Burn my knees and
Burn my knees and
Burn my knees and
E-motion sickness
Addict with no heroine
E-motion sickness
Distorted eyes
When everything is clearly dying

Burn my knees and
Burn my knees and pray
Burn my knees and
Burn my knees and pray
[All my friends say]
Get up get up get up get up
Get up get up get up
Won't you stop my pain

E-motion sickness
[To idle with an idol]
Addict with no heroine
Good things will pass
It helps with excess access
Lessons learnt

E-motion sickness
[Lost no friendship]
[Corrosive head pollution]
Lessons learnt


2. ANTHEM FOR THE YEAR 2000

We are the youth
We'll take your fascism away
We are the youth
Apologise for another day
We are the youth
And politicians are so sure
We are the youth
And we are knocking on death's door
Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so sure
Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so small
Never knew we were living in a world
And the world is an open court
Maybe we don't want to live in a world
Where innocence is so short
We'll make it up to you
In the year 2000 with...

Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so sure
Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so small
Never knew we were living in a world
And the world is an open court
Maybe we don't want to live in a world
Where innocence is so short

We'll make it up to you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000
Make it up to you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000 with you

Never knew we were living in a world
With a world that could be so sure
Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so small
Never knew we were living in a world
And the world is an open court
Maybe we don't want to live in a world
World who cares at all

We'll make it up to you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000
Make it hard for you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000
Make it hard for you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000 with you


3. ANA'S SONG (OPEN FIRE)

Please die Ana
For as long as you're here we're not
You make the sound of laughter
And sharpened nails seem softer
And I need you now somehow
And I need you now somehow

Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you

Imagine a pageant
In my head the flesh seems thicker
Sandpaper tears corrode the filth

And I need you now somehow
And I need you now somehow

Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you

And you're my obsession
I love you to the bones
And Ana wrecks your life
Like an Anorexia life

Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you

Open fire on my knees desires
On my knees for you


4. SPAWN AGAIN

Death becomes clearer through bloodshot eyes
As a death from old age becomes nearer
Why can't the livestock be free
When trading soldiers for steak
Learn to evolve with the new transition
To act upon a hypocritical vision
Discard the old and in with the new
Discard the old and in with the fashion

Learn to evolve with the new transition
To act upon a hypocritical vision
Learn to evolve, learn to, learn to evolve

Who is the bad guy for iron
Require mince these are the facts
So eat what you murder
This is animal liberation
Eight billion killed for human pleasure

Bring on the ape farm
Demolish the monkeys
Drink up, drink up
Look down on junkies

A new hypocritical look and ambition
The time has come
To make the decision you...
Drink up, drink up, look down
I'll hold it back, I'll hold it back

Discard the old, in with the fashion

Death becomes clearer through bloodshot eyes
Death becomes clearer through bloodshot eyes


5. MISS YOU LOVE

Millionaire say
Got a big shot deal
And thrown it all away but
But I'm not too sure
How I'm supposed to feel
Or what I'm supposed to say

But I'm not, not sure,
Not too sure how it feels
To handle every day
And I miss you love

Make room for the prey
'Cause I'm coming in
With what I wanna say but
It's gonna hurt
And I love the pain
A breeding ground for hate but...

I'm not, not sure,
Not too sure how it feels
To handle everyday
Like the one that just past
In the crowds of all the people

Remember today
I've no respect for you
And I miss you love
And I miss you love

I love the you love
But I hate the way
I'm supposed to love you back

It's just a fad
Part of the teenage angst brigade and
I'm not, not sure,
Not too sure how it feels
To handle everyday
Like the one that just past
In the crowds of all the people

Remember today
I've no respect for you
And I miss you love
And I miss you love

Remember today
I've no respect for you
And I miss you love
And I miss use love

I love the you love
But I hate the way
I'm supposed to love you back


6. DEAREST HELPLESS

Dearest helpless
Intent's not as bad as the action
Take a breath to distort
The fear in your eyes
I don't mean it to hurt
But every time I hate you
I think of you first
He's made you blind
You're better on your own
I'm just the kind to bring you down

Equalize the pressure, it's all too much
Sex drugs and image is just enough
To get you by in the real world

He's made you blind
You're better on your own
I'm just the kind to bring you down

He's made you blind
I'm just the kind
To bring you, to bring you...
He's made you blind
You're better on your own
I'm just the kind
To bring you down


7. DO YOU FEEL THE SAME

Moon covered determined to find
To find my place of hiding
Try to detach, try to decrease
To make it easier on me
Despise myself for what you've done
Sent me back into my world
Hold yourself 'cause no one will
I'll make it easier
Now I have managed to be the one
To be the victim without the gun
Do you feel the same anyway
Now you've come
Do you feel the same anyway
Now you've come

Stay alert cause I'm obsessed
Surely I can't be depressed
Could I be read if I was see-through
Or would you just read my spine

Could I be read if I was see-through
Could I be read if I was see-through
Could I be read if I was see-through
Or would you just read my spine

Now I have managed to be the one
To be the victim without the gun
Do you feel the same anyway
Now you've come
Do you feel the same anyway
Feel the same
Now you've come
Do you feel the same anyway

Hold yourself 'cause no-one will
I'll be there to take the spill
Cleanse your soul, change the tide
And ride the wave back here to me

Be the one
Without the gun
Do you feel the same anyway
Now you've come
Do you feel the same anyway
Now you've come
Do you feel the same
Feel the same
Now you've come
Do you feel the same anyway
Now you've come


8. BLACK TANGLED HEART

Maybe your luck has changed
Settle down
Maybe I'm just deranged
And on the rebound
Maybe love was the thing
Holding me back from all
Maybe I'm just the thing
To break my own fall
Take the rope to my heart and fall
You may just be the last before you
See the black tangled heart fall

Maybe departure's good
Makes room for more
Start to mass produce
For a chance to ignore
Maybe you'll kill yourself
Before I get a turn
Maybe I'll fall in love
And never learn

Take the rope to my heart and fall
You may just be the last before you
See the black tangled heart fall

Take the rope to my heart and fall
You may just be the last before you
See the black tangled heart fall


9. POINT OF VIEW

Liberate the people that you hate
Then cut yourself again
Elevate then drop back down
And see which ones remain
Remember all that she can say
Is that she knows she wants it
You'll make it through
With another point of view again
You'll make it through
With another point

Accusation, does yes mean no?
Or have you changed your mind?
Kill the nation before it grows
And be one of a kind
Remember all that she can say
Is that she knows she wants it

You'll make it through
With another point of view again
You'll make it through
With another point

Pretend the world's an ocean
Oh, I'm drowning
Pretend that I'm pollution
Oh, I'm dying
Pretend the steak's a cowboy
And the kiss will kill you

You'll make it through
With another point of view again
You'll make it through
With another point


10. SATIN SHEETS

Just wait for us to say it
And we'll make you lie
And anyone who cares
Lies on satin sheets
And I waste my time on no-one
And you think I really care

Wears a saturn bracelet
Lined with cocaine coins
"No chance" slipped away
Toddler training toys
And I waste my time on no-one
And you think I really care

And I waste my time on no-one
And you think I really care


11. PAINT PASTEL PRINCESS

It's only self rejection
With a mean left
Cold carbon copied coping
And it's mean theft
That's been left behind

Paint pastel princess
Bo and arapax
The shelves when they're broken
I'll beg you, beg you

Waste life when youth is sweeter, neater
Content with contents
Cultures cringing at accents
And it's too tense, camp out (nonsense)

She tastes the candy
Sugarless, cancerous
Crave cocaine cop shows
I'll beg you, beg you
But it's all the same to me
But it's all the same to me
But it's all the same to me
But it's all the same to me


12. STEAM WILL RISE

Contain yourself
I will compress
What I am to
Replace yourself
With what you have
Your substitute
Only wanted a piece of myself
Steam will rise
Esteem will rise
Steam will rise
Esteem will rise

Refrain, confess
Contain, repress
Pretend I'm dead
Abuse myself
Confuse myself
I won't be led

Only wanted a piece of myself
Only wanted a piece of myself
Only wanted a piece of myself
Steam will rise
Esteem will rise
Steam will rise
Esteem will rise
