Controlling Crowds

1.Controlling Crowds

So much writing on the walls, can you read it all
Can you see through the haze when the writing's small?
Can you read what it means does it make any sense?
'Cause it's all dollar bills and pounds and pence
Telling you what to do and what pills to take
When your head's in your hands and your belly aches
Where to go in the world when you need a change
Don't you worry about the bill, that can be arranged.

Make me sad, make me sleep, make me question,

Give me things that can calm this depression (x2)

Let me know what to do when my money's spent
Let me know how to smell and to pay the rent
Let me know what to do when my hair is gone
Let me know who to kill when the war is on
There's a woman of your dreams and she's all on the phone
Better send her a text when you're on your own

Make me sad, make me sleep, make me question,

Give me things that can calm this depression (x3)

So much writing on the walls so much writing on the walls so
much writing on the walls

(Obey)
Feel, just obey !

Sing along sing along sing along sing it

You know that they can't harm you.
You know that they can't hurt you.
Don't want their dreams to waste me.
Don't want their dreams to save me.

High rises
Killing lows


2.Bullets

Come touch me like I'm an ordinary man, have a look in my eyes,
Underneath my skin there is violence, got a gun in its hand,
Ready to make sense of anyone anything.
Black holes living in the side of your face,
Razor wire spinning around your blistering sky, blistering sky,
Bullets are the beauty of the blistering sky,
Bullets are the beauty and I don't know why,
Bullets are the beauty of the blistering sky,
Bullets are the beauty and I don't know why.

Personal responsibility,
Personal response insanity.
Personal response insanity.
Personal response insanity.

Confine me let me be the lesser of a beautiful man,
Without the blood on his hands,
Come and make me a martyr come and break my feeling,
With your violence with the gun to my head,
Ready to take out anyone anywhere.
Black holes living in the side of your face,
Razor wire spinning around your heart,
Blistering sky blistering sky,
Bullets are the beauty of the blistering sky,
Bullets are the beauty and I don't know why,
Bullets are the beauty of the blistering sky,
Bullets are the beauty and I don't know why.

Personal responsibility,
Personal response insanity.
Personal response insanity.
Personal response insanity.


3.Words On Signs

Close those eyes down,
We all fall down,
Into the space,
Gone with no trace,
Feel your heart slow,
Where will we go,
Into the sunlight,
Or the dead of night.
There's nobody here for me now,
There's nobody here for me now,
There's nobody here for me now.
So much running scared,
Living breathing dead.
There's nobody here for me now,
There's nobody here for me now.
Silence fills you through,
Time to tell the truth,
See the words on signs,
It ends with a blink of an eye.


4.Dangervisit

You could end everything right here,
Finish it off and disappear,
Isn't it great to have the choice,
Quiet it down and stop the noise,
We know those people tell you things,
Like what to say and what to think,
We know you're not needed for your mind,
Just for your money and your kind,
We know you're not wanted for your heart,
They knew it was black right from the start you could end
everything right here.


5.Quiet Time

Juxtapose feeling,
Just suppose I reel in revolving doors closing,
Imposters posing,
Turn spinning it round about,
Pulling your inside out,
Know that they will do it now without a doubt,
Motivated in quick time to stop the watchman exposing
orchestrated explosions,
Medicine man mix a potion sedate the not so great nation,
Now they be jumping out of their skin to fear factors,
Run through acres morphing shape shifters,
Lift the lid and give a wide berth,
The earth not a million miles away,
Minor detail as I put it in another way,
To the latter day,
Burning out your retina pitch black enveloping hells fire
developing heat,
Skin crawling up you swear blind,
The cruel and unkind advance you're running out of time,
The adrenalin flows hitting the wall,
Ready to fall over but still they stand tall,
Winner taking it all in, stalling for some ideological ways out,
Twist and then shout out aloud,
Steady bellowing,
Subtle moment following,
Subsequent change rearrange,
How we doing?
We are fine,
Quiet time,
Ready for the steady climb,
Cross a ley line down into the open mind's eye,
Attack they react and turn into the maniac,
Critical breakdown why?
cause it's an actual fact,
Take a longer look at how we can prevail and not fail.


6.Collapse Collide

Too late,
They hate,
Too late,
They hate,
You've jaded,
They've faded,
From your heart,
They've ripped,
Our worlds collide,
Inside our souls collapsing,
In their thoughtless ways,
Our hearts collide.
They're correcting.
They correct my heart.
They're rejecting.
They reject our hearts.
Now we're all stoned,
They've ripped it all apart.
Collapse, collide.
They're correcting.
They correct my heart.
They're rejecting,
They're rejecting,
They're rejecting.
They reject our hearts.
Now we're all stoned,
They've ripped it all apart.
Collapse, collide,
Our hearts collide.


7.Clones

I can see for miles in your eyes,
They disappear into a sea of faces,
I can see for miles with your eyes,
Their faces are faceless.
Clones of yourself.

I can see for miles with your eyes,
Their faces are faceless.
Clones of,
Clones of yourself,
I can see for miles in your eyes.


8.Bastardised Ink

All hailstorms in to die for my sins,
Why am I accursed and not believing,
Death to damnation both forced arrest,
Enforced interrogation duress fire question,
Pressure point temple brainwashed disciple,
Shooting at me with a holy water pistol,
I am not a heathen I'll give you the reason,
Ten commandments and ten counts of treason,
They can pass judgements while I plead,
Ignorance self defense dollars pounds and pence,
Because we live inside the age feelings hard to gauge,
I just open up the book and keep turning the page,
While the all powerful throwback to miracle,
Whips up the storms and pestilent swarms,
Sacrifice to appease the deity,
Whilst heavens open up just to seize the enemy,
Wiped out civilisations,
Desolate barren landscapes genocides, creation,
But mad scientists wildly experiment,
Drawing the conclusion down into the sediment,
To the dark hour seed is sown,
Now on there will be light via fire and brimstone,
Walls fall down but emerge from the ground as if to start over,
Rebuild the structure,
True to life adventure,
Even while your breathing lung puncture,
Nothing out there to protect you,
So they look into the skies the cries can be heard,
The word is obscene unwashed and unclean,
Wreaking havoc for the hell of it,
Whilst digging deep and developing a taste for it,
Bloodthirsty craves screams for mercy,
Highly unlikely,
Feel the almighty crash,
Alas hope all evaporates incinerate burns out and obliterates,
Keep the faith in more ways than one,
Or believe me and mark my words thy will be done.

Praying not for the cynical quick stepping left right,
Pick up as they march upon the pinnacle,
Clocking up the watch stop digital,
Trying to make peace while they'd rather make base
and erase the place they found,
Lies written all over the face wonder why,
Feeling immortality fearing they're afraid to die,
Sly snakes sidewind and enter your mind,
Finding temptation insecurity and frustration,
Hating anger lusts after fear as half the man dies whilst
shedding the tear,
A clear sign that it's way past the time,
To rebuild the bleeding heart that lies broken,
Well I must be mistaken
but I more than feel that a chance is not taking
consideration for the non believer plagued by diseased why?
Nothing but an open mind is what I try and maintain,
Hand on heart keep alive in dying art,
pick it up dust it down make a start and bring it round.
Pray to God blaspheme one can only dream,
Crucify and ask why either do or die.
Pray to God blaspheme one can only dream,
Crucify and ask why either do or die.


9.Kings Of Speed

Please don't come any closer to me,
I feel old like a withered tree,
These days are passing eternally,
You won't ask me to slow it down,
Blurred emotions in the crown of the kings of speed,
And all we see in full motion collection.
Time isn't slowing,
Just speed,
Just speed.
Silence is golden and seems so pretend,
The towering of war machines and men,
The falling of lives as we wait in line,
We are fading to nothing,
Losing the race as they steam ahead,
Leaving the trail of the living dead,
Moving away,
Broken frames push forward then play.
Time isn't slowing,
Just speed,
It's all we're knowing.
Silence is golden and seems so pretend,
The towering of war machines and men,
The falling of lives as we wait in line,
We are fading to nothing,
Losing the race as they steam ahead,
Leaving the trail of the living dead,
Moving away,
Broken frames push forward then play.
Time isn't slowing,
Just speed,
It's all we're knowing.


10.Whore

You horrify and petrify me,
To wear the crown that just astounds me,
You terrorise and paralyse me,
You've lost the plot and should be shot down.
You have it all.
You're just a whore and nothing more,
Your smile is pain yet you remain,
Walking tall and that appalls me,
You're bred like swine but still
You'll die in our arms,
'cause you have it all.


11.Chaos

Confusion,
Delusion,
Seclusion,
Inclusion,
Numbing,
Loving,
Finding you in me,
How I adore, the chaos of you.
Cry out,
Take out,
Heartless,
Fearless,
Compassionately,
Feeling you in me,
How I love,
The chaos of you.
Psycho,
Halo,
Cruel and tormenting,
Compassionately,
Seeing us in them,
How I adore,
The chaos in them,
In them,
In them,
Of you,
Of you.


12.Razed To The Ground

The unassailable leading me down the wide path,
I consider the scale the whole aftermath,
From the land I sketch a grand design,
A being in time,
Message the floodlight will shine,
Divine skies will open,
Open road chosen pausing in time frozen,
Best left unspoken,
About the life settling down,
Steadily lowered into the ground the sound is quite deafening,
Confounded regiments getting hounded out,
Never better the fallout of the sidesplitter,
Rise of the switch-hitter,
Watch as he grows bitter,
Foreseeable futures they be selling him down the river,
Purified and maybe when we refine and say,
You'll be hearing him coming from half a mile away,
Contemplation still thinking it over
onward we soldier clearer than present danger,
Us we as a planet handing arms to the generations
down the line what is left behind?

Conscience cannot carry the weight of consequence,
Says a voice who then utters a vote of confidence,
See the level of minerals going down to ground zero,
Nothing can be stopping declines cycle,
Wheels turn the sucking it dry desert,
But the oceans wave is on the rise in front of your eyes,
Paralysed you're rooted into the spot,
You can't move the rot is setting in at a rate of knots.
So far from the truth,
Unavoidable proof revelations will raise the roof,

The revolutions will be televised to sensationalise and
destabilise,
I'm wide eyed aware and wiser to the scandal,
It is too much for one man to handle,
Stand together we might stand a hope in hells chance
or else a threatening fate waits.


13.Funeral

You could end everything right here,
Finish it off and disappear,
Isn't it great to have the choice,
Quiet it down and stop the noise,
We know those people tell you things,
Like what to say and what to think,
We know you're not needed for your mind,
Just for your money and your kind,
We know you're not wanted for your heart,
They knew it was black right from the start you could end
everything right here.
