CANCER BATS LYRICS

1. Satellites

Disintegration
Miles from the coast
Working towards something
Hand shake the ghost
Plagued by the intrigue
Stock on the line
Hungry generation
Eye for an eye

Satellites are broken down inside my mind
Jealousy is burning holes into my eyes

Disintegration
Punch clock the time
Working towards something
Blindfold the eye
Respect the work horse
Done what was told
Hungry generation
Left dead in the cold

Satellites are broken down inside my mind
Jealousy is burning holes into my eyes

If you can change change what you can
If you can't then hold on for dear life
If you can change change what you can
If you can't then let it go let it go
Looking back on all the moments we waste
Wasted moments on what we can't take back
Moving further getting caught in the race
Racing further from what we can't fix now
If you can change change what you can
If you can't then let it go

Satellites are broken down insole my mind
Jealousy is burning holes into my eyes

Disintegration
Sums of the fears
Working towards something
Wrench in the gears
Confront the action
Disgust the self
Hungry generation
That's working for them and nobody else

2. True Zero

And I remind myself who I really am

Welcome to the year I'm from
The reckless son of a northern gun
Counting back from 21
All alone
Tried my best to push my luck
Best mistake was not giving a fuck
Counting back from 21
All alone

No further from the same
Too many broken mirrors
Or so they say
This is where I'll stay
True zero established today

And I remind myself who I really am
Take this from me I'll meet you on the other side

Count seasons dead and gone
Wrecked my path from what I was on
Counting back from 21
All alone
Each odd that they had stacked
Chopped it down with the blade of an axe
Counting back from 21
All alone

No further from the same
Too many broken mirrors
Or so they say
This is where I'll stay
True zero established today
Distorted figures
I'll make my way
This is where I'll stay
True zero established today

Can't take this
These numbers breakdown on me
I'll resist
These numbers breakdown on me

This is where I'll stay
Negative falls away
This is where I'll stay
True zero established today

And I remind myself who I really am
Take this from me I'll meet you on the other side

3. Arsenic In The Year Of The Snake

Thirteen like a hex in the winter night,
Black clouds on me.
Fifty two hard scales on a serpent's back,
Goddamn them all!
Bad vibes thrown around like a hurricane
To break down the skeptic in my head
And I thought I was the last one believing in this.

Superstition or alchemy
Thirty three in the thirteenth year.
Superstition or alchemy
Arsenic in the year of the snake.

Thirteen like a hex in the summer sky,
Black clouds on you.
Twelve long sharp teeth in a serpent's mouth,
Goddamn them all!
Bad luck chained to you like a prison weight
To break down the skeptic in my head
And I thought I was the last one believing in this.

Superstition or alchemy
Thirty three in the thirteenth year.
Superstition or alchemy
Arsenic in the year of the snake.

Superstition or alchemy
Rhetoric, perfectly clear.
Superstition making sense to me
Too many friends died this year!

Whatever you believe in
Three hundred and sixty five days
It was never ending
For you, for me.
And I'm normally the positive one
Three hundred and sixty five days
It was never ending,
Thirteen, thirteen.

Superstition or alchemy
Arsenic in the year of the snake.
Superstition making sense to me
Too many friends died this year!

4. Beelzebub

Worship the shrine of the reckless
Let all of the pieces just slip through the cracks
Focus just on destruction
Keep all of the fear in the backs of my eyes

And I'll always be the truth that you need

You reach for dependence
Only these hands shake as much as they hold
I try my best to hide it
Keep all of the fear in the backs of my eyes

I will always be the truth that you need

I'm just as scared of this too
As terrified as you
We're in this you and I

It's easy to hide behind madness
Let all of the pieces just slip through the cracks
Brutality confronts the weakness
Keep all of the fear in the backs of my eyes

And I'll always be the truth that you need
But this truth is a lie in all honesty

I'm just as scared of this too
As terrified as you
We're in this you and I

5. Devil's Blood

I drink the devil's blood
Until my cup runs dry
I pledge allegiance
Drive the sun from the summer sky
World on fire

I drink the devil's blood
To watch the world capsize
Reject the skeptic
Spit the truth in mother nature's eyes
World on fire

Trade it away
I'll drain the ocean
You prove your worth
Pray your gods as I
Pave the earth

I drink the devil's blood
To quench the endless thirst
Accept the madness
Let the wretched one at once be cursed
World on fire

Trade it away
I'll drain the ocean
You prove your worth
Pray your gods as I
Pave the earth
I'll drain the ocean
You keep your faith
Do unto others as I only take

I drink the devil's blood
I drink the devil's blood
I'll drown myself in it
I drink the devil's blood
World on fire

Pave the earth.

6. Cursed With A Conscience

I'm feeling trapped in this
Like there's a hole in my head
Just keep on suffering
Commit the crimes that you must

I am a pacifist
I've never fought anyone
I'm just here smiling
To keep my head afloat

Cursed with a conscience
Cursed with a conscience
And then it turned on me

You're a survivalist
You don't need anyone
Until the darkness comes
Commit the crimes that you must

I can't work past all this
I've never killed anyone
I'm just here smiling
To keep my head afloat

Cursed with a conscience
Cursed with a conscience
And then it turned on me

Swallowed me alive
Swallowed by the beast of my design
Swallowed me alive
Swallowed by the beast I made

Praise to the scientists
Where logic always prevails
They keep their hearts intact
Commit the crimes that you must

I think I'm done with this
Let's leave this body to rest
I'm just here smiling
To keep my head afloat

Cursed with a conscience
Cursed with a conscience
And then it turned on me

Swallowed me alive
Swallowed by the beast of my design
Swallowed me alive
Swallowed by the beast I made

And I swear
I swear on my honour
I never knew
That this was coming for me

7. All Hail

1984 Crash land Antarctica
Find a human host in Richmond, Virginia
Oderus Urungus becomes Dave Brockie
Galactic Union
To over throw humanity

All hail Oderus
Long live the cuttlefish
All hail Oderus
30 years of anarchy

Redefining punk rock
Wide spread destruction
From here to fucking Ragnarok
Fuck all the critics let the pigs do their worst
Oderus came to enslave planet Earth

All hail Oderus
Long live the cuttlefish
All hail Oderus
Slave-pit allegiance until I die

From another dimension
Monster one of a kind
Oderus Urungus
The greatest scum dog of all time

Return to the cosmos
To destroy once again
Return to the cosmos
To reign as King
Counting the days until the universe returns his soul

8. Buds

Drown my sorrows in this water that gives life
Rejection from your ways, hard to realize
This blessings cursed, this daggers out
Please save my soul
Convictions crushing down, I'm going on my own

Hard times
The hour of reckoning
Who is left
Until the grave

You kill the logic in each word that has been taught
Contradictions blind the message that you brought
This mind is mine, this daggers sharp
I'll own my own soul
Convictions crushing down, I'm going on my own

Hard times
The hour of reckoning
Who is left
Until the grave

Shattered instincts
Like a gun shot
Ripping through that empty night
I tried my best to keep my head up high

Questioned all
Was I lied to?
Searching for what is what's wrong or right
Like all the rest I was left unto myself

Only answer
It's not your fault
Found strength in the fires inside
Now my guiding light is my own vibe

Hard times
The hour of reckoning
Who is left
Until the grave

9. Dusted

You're bringing too much death
Breathing too much of your own hype
It can be disastrous

You're bringing too much death
With those who just want you for one night
It can be disastrous

Fake friends like lead weights
Don't let them pull you under
Tear it down
Take this from me
Tear it down
Take this all

You're bringing too much death
Shadowed yourself in your own light
It can be disastrous

You're bringing too much death
With cowards just trying to feel alright
It can be disastrous

Don't look so guilty
This song isn't about you
Tear it down
Take this from me
Tear it down
Take this all

In the morning
When the dust has settled
You were right there
When the town was leveled

And you could have left
Life all the rest
You could have left
And I thank you

And I could have died
I could have died
I could have died
I thank you

Tear it down
Take this from me
Tear it down
Take this all

Take this from me
Take this all
Take this from me
You're bringing too much death
It can be disastrous

10. No More Bullshit

Chokehold every lost day that's forgotten
Ice age freezing over every last option
I'm just carrying on
Smoke stack burning up everything rotten
Resist just getting caught at the bottom
I know I've just begun
I'll break free from this concrete
Hijack every minute I can
Time
Like diamonds strangled from coal
No more bullshit
Time
Like diamonds strangled from coal
Stay focused

Countdown grains 'til you enter oblivion
Cinder blockade yourself in a dark room
I'm just carrying on
Hold off following every lost action
Stock pile, stronghold, withhold your goals
I know I've just begun
I'll break free from this concrete
Hijack every minute I can
Time
Like diamonds strangled from coal
No more bullshit
Time
Like diamonds strangled from coal
Stay focused

Analogue breaks this concentration
We face annihilation
One chance to get it wrong
Life is a marathon
