I ain't Messing in the morning, I ain't messing in the afternoon,
It truly came without any warning, No a chance to think the process through,
And when it came it's truth exploded, so there really wasn't much to prove, the consequences were dumbfounding, reciting sequences just to keep my cool.
So I place myself right at the top, of a pyramid structure where from there they drop and I place those close next in line, knives behind our backs while we look you in the eye> It's a trickle down economy of massive inequality> remove the mask you're gonna see they're messing the majority> with links to west indies> havens for the big leagues> leave them in a quandary> the motto of a ponzi> Sitting right there at the top, of a high rise structure while shops below are boarded up, yes the knock on effects are real, what's the point to beg or borrow while everyone steals is the moral of the story> everything is hunky dory> though the details maybe gory> don't look back just run for glory> past the post in celebration> podium for affirmation> link the goals to your frustration> to achieve intoxication.

Aw that's right with ridiculous fostering!
Let's just get realistic, You know we can't guarantee this.
You've been right in the past but your wrongs can be vast, might as well move to France cause it'll such a farce with god as your witness SO!
Living out alone, dog no bone, old stool phone ain't you a lost little puppy-O! Strait to bank fate to thank for all those rippling dominoes.
Lets just get sickofantic, the ego gets gigantic, stroke it more. we do play, any night, any day, I'm all ears as they say, let me join the parade where what I love is my business - SO !
Relevant obscure, vapour pure, so demure, ain't you a lost little cameo, some sweet spot, off you trot, that's your lot, you're rained on at the crossroads.
Let's just get with logistics, have you really thought about this? LA-DI-DA-LA-DI-DAY-We're alive HIP-HORAY, realign right away, redefine where you stay or is it all just semantics HOLD!

Is this what realignment is supposed to be?
Brandishing excuses with wasted energy.
Is this what realignment is supposed to serve?
Come doubtful little stranger capture what you deserve.
It gave me certain fearlessness I guess, capturing the sprit, this must be the place, Where sunken arms outstretch in victory, take a while to know that you realise you're being treated equally.
Is this what realignment is supposed to do?
Come now little camera the rest is up to you.
It gave me a certain gaul I guess, Wandering aimlessly this must be the place.

REALIGN REALIGN but you've gotta put a little bit of time in it.
We are privy to the swathes don't hesitate we know no other route cause I could do without it test the patience of the home schooled reaching for my lighter to remember I'm no more a smoker am I wise enough to rise above the laws imposing rule like a preacher by a bulb under a street light heading home but open to the hazards blizzards thicken up your soul politically dizzy taking space to think about the existential, the consequential, clearing out the short fall.
Picking up the patter nervous energy, Looking for the answers I can't see, heading out of heaven in a highway, look at all the ways, don't forget the might you possess today the rate is resolute.
THE RATE IS RESOLUTE!!
Picking up the patter on the highway.
You got cold feet and that all I've got to say.
The rate is resolute.

Stunned!
When we cut cross-sections indignations fake our scene.
Shunned!
By the vocal spectrum filter wasted energy.
Here is where it is, (Home)
Here is where it is, (Alone)
Here is where it is, (Your Throne)
Please be seated, you're not defeated.
And if I complain, if I complain when will I, oh when will I,
how d'you tell me? When will I get my chance?
If I just complain just complain it's always needed, when you're defeatist.
Here is where it is, (Come)
Here is where it is, (Your Throne)
Here is where it is, (Your Throne)
Please be seated, you're not defeated.
Negate, suffer then you live it down, no bitterness no no no bitterness no no.
Here is where it is, can you feel it and seize it now.

Or Else (Live)

Back to where we were back then, the glory days of then, Back to where we wish to be again.
Back to where there was that spark, the light before the dark, the point of no return may have come my friend.
We have to go back, there ain't no doubt about it.
There are no two ways about this now.
But the lady in the mask and the man having the tantrum, are buffering their way through the snow.
It's all you know.
So we have to go back, and run amok through all that make us, pull the shutters down on all invaders, hole up with tins of tomatoes and beans, there'll be a glitch on every screen, because it's all on display, everything is on display.
We have go back.
So I place myself right at the top, of a pyramid structure where from there they drop and I place those close next in line, knives behind our backs while we look you in the eye> It's a trickle down economy of massive inequality> remove the mask you're gonna see they're fucking the majority> with links to west indies> havens for the big leagues> leave them in a quandary> the motto of a ponzi> Sitting right there at the top, of a high rise structure while shops below are boarded up, yes the knock on effects are real, what's the point to beg or borrow while everyone steals is the moral of the story> everything is hunky dory> though the details maybe gory> don't look back just run for glory> past the post in celebration> podium for affirmation> link the goals to your frustration> to achieve intoxication.

Stones sit tight, while I make cups of tea with belief that I'm seeing the light, bones of moral fibre yeah. Sometimes the ship goes down that way, you really are going out like that this time, ain't nothing to do, nothing's gonna stem the tide.
You were bitten in a shark attack, hit by that bus you catch, stung by the wrong advice, you stopped in the road to tie your shoelace, you were chancing when the gains were few, hanging with the wrong crew, searching the path of life, while bounding along on the edge of a knife yeah.
Sometimes the ship goes down that way, you really are going out like that this time, ain't nothing to do, nothing's gonna stem the tide. yeah sometimes the ship goes down that way, you really are going out like that this time.
You we're working to cut the light, spark will always reignite.
Stones sit tight, while I make cups of tea with belief that I'm seeing the light, bones of moral fibre yeah. Sometimes the ship goes down that way, you really are going out like that this time.
Start over. You know you've gotta do it now.

Stasis reports an explosion in the system, a breach, these machines, they can't compete. Rotators are rotating, like the planets and moons round them, moving away with utter dismay, not safe to stay.
If you ever need me, I'll be complaining at the wall.
And if you every need me, I'm here in England after all.
If you ever need me, I'll be in meltdown beside you, by mantra by oath, all roads lead to Rome. And if you ever need me, it'll be like the end of that movie, spooked to retreat from innocent appeal, how they capture the feel.
The ghost inside flashes lights, we assume in protest, bending rules, blown fuse, pick your noose, the blamers are still blaming while the drowned decide to air check.
You are refused, win or lose we're sponsoring the downfall.
If you ever need me, I'll be complaining at the wall.
And if you every need me, I'm here in England after all.
