SLEEPING PULSE LYRICS

1. Parasite

A parasite needs a host
So chase every lead for every lead could be
The path to someone new
A parasite needs a host

A monkey swings from rope to rope
And monkey has no opinion
Just repeats the last opinion that was spoke
A monkey swings from rope to rope

Chasing the end forever
Tied to the aim

How could it be that we're so doped?
Denied of common sense
How can't we feel when were in the choke?
Anaesthetised to the constant feeding
Chase it, chase it

2. Gagging Order

You'd tape my mouth
My lips you'd nail
My tongue ripped out
To hide your shame

Hold tight and breathe, don't suffocate
You'll soon have me on your page
Sewn up till my own dying day
Paid off with my own rightful gain

How did you think I would stand for this?
It all shows a lack of intelligence
Is daddy on the ropes with his mind again?
Did he tell you in the end I tore strips from him?
Or did he keep that from you like your family said
To never look weak in the eyes of them
It’s funny how he tried to play businessman
When he's just another oaf laying eggs in the brick trade

No you can't gag me and I'm not afraid
All bets now raise to meet my stakes
Hold tight and breathe no you're not safe
My tongue stays free to taste your stain

All those prayers in the dark, must've thought you were saved
Get to bury your past, stop the soil being raked
Choke reality's sting from the scorpions tail
No more panic at night as you're lying awake...Lying awake

But listen...
We're not playthings, and time wont erase this
You can't redact it, I'll keep my faith
Your guilty past will keep biting at your heels
No time to sit still, keep running away

3. Backfire

Backfire, with a smoking gun
And the mask falls off for everyone to see

Backfire, and the coup is done
Pull the needle out, its time to run from me

But don’t let the truth get high
There’s a new stage and a world of lies to breathe

Its all jaded
When the whole world is a mark
Play it fierce, its not real

Backfire, and the cover’s blown
What was once arcane lies now exposed

Backfire, and the bird has flown
As the crude disguise is overthrown by greed

But don’t let the truth get high
There’s a new stage and a world of lies to breathe

Its all wasted
All those years kissing head
Its all gone, back to start

Don’t let the truth get too high
Build a brand new reality
Don’t let true colours stain those eyes
No, just pretend that it’s not real

It’s not real …. It’s not real …. It’s not real …. It’s not real

4. The Puppeteer

A puppet hears from the stage
The audience applause for the puppeteers’ display
But the marionette believes it’s for she
"I’ll perform by myself" she thought, and petulantly cut her strings

I am the one who picked you up from your cold wooden sleep
I am the one who brought you life graceful
When you thought that you could dance alone you turned and savaged me
But without my hand you fall back down,
Puppet fall back down

It’s painful to drop so low
When not so long before she thought she’d stole the show
Now she lies in wait
Ready to reach and haul herself back up on the cocks of other puppeteers

5. Foreign Body

In search of open doors it slides from man to man
With its infected hole, it siphons all it can

Thief, Liar, Whore, Freak
Two-Faced, Infected, Leech

I have spat you from this tainted heart
Recognize you for just what you are
Herein this prose there lieth how despised is your creed
In the scene that you sucked for
I recognise you for just what are

Corpus alienum
For years it hid and devoured
Til toxic animus
My system pushed it out

When the Earth and Sun collide
Change can never be denied
How its landscape lies we'll never understand...

PAINTED RUST
Faith. The sanctity of faith
Only serves to alchemize passion into gold
White replicated life
A propensity to imitate all that plays the mark

A face of painted rust
A mask to gain our trust
A fake, a cover up

Lie, serenade, incite.
A falsity to aggregate all that comes too hard
Faked. Calculated bait
It all just serves to captivate, subjugate, control

6. The Blind Lead The Blind

There was an idiot outside who couldn't cut it but he tried
To curry favour whit a child by being morally awry
Behind the cover of a screen and many thousand miles between
He was a 'cowboy' by decree and I'm still laughing at the irony
Of what else that means

The blind lead the blind, eyes closed, hands tied
Give the order to fire, start a war you can't survive

And she revealed her colours much too soon

So enter daddy on the scene with fat fingers on the keys
He could've stopped it all right there but he was too blind to see
See past his ego or his pride, too used to being on the righteous side
He couldn't stomach being wrong so just pretended to be right
And covered his eyes

The blind lead the blind, typing contracts from juvenile minds
The blind lead the blind, round in circles with schoolboy lies
The blind lead the blind, tell an Eskimo snow isn't white
The blind lead the blind.

7. Painted Rust

8. Noose

Buried guilt like a child
Keeping your secrets from gluing
and you were taught what was right but you just looked right through it

And the murder of kids you refused to condemn
Did I really hear that well?
How long you expect to elude the karma kill?

Is that a noose around your neck?
You're already gone you just don't believe it

How long till the sediment is pulling under the waves?
How long will the shadows hide a sordid refugee?

When the food that you serve sticks in God's throat
with sick tenacity
only a fool would believe that sin remains unseen

In heart, in mind, the devastation lurks
look hard and you'll find
The universe in motion

9. War

Could I be wrong, or did I just watch you cut your own throat to maintain a sense of control?
Within, where logic sleeps with the pigs
I'm half in your world, so you drag me down with your ship

Lead us into war, leave the real world behind
Give in to scorn
Burn, run and hide

Waging our war has give me something pure to believe in
From my moral high ground I'm up here looking down at the parasites snapping at the air
And i guess I'm still somewhat confused
You put a grenade in your mouth and pulled the pin out in the hope that I'd get hurt by the blast

I offered to drop, even begged you to stop, for your own worthless sake, and I meant what I said
But you had to defile and then hid like a child, let the grownups clean over the mess that you'd made ... Do you feel shame?

I can see the waves rushing from your shores
I can hear the praise running from your door
You sacrificed your name and all that you've worked for
Just to feed your scorn.

10. Under The Same Sky

You had me think
That in a world infested with fools
We were under the same sky.
In a scene directed by you.

And to help serve your self-serving nature.
You alienated the ones who loved us.
To fragment the target away from the threat of a common collective,
A conscience of errors.

You had me think.
That in a world infested with fools
We were under the same sky.
But it was all... so far.. from the truth.
