Curtains twitch in unison As he descends upon the playground A secret rendezvous They kiss and look around Make no sound He strokes her face So tender and mild Afflicted from his birth 23 without a lover Tied to his mother A precocious 14 years Sexuality uncovered Woke from it's slumber Her mother wracked with despair She warned her now to beware He wasn't all there She conjured up a spirit A spectre who would take care A ghost to ensnare He stroked her face So tender and mild His body of an adult His mind of a child They broke both his hands And they burned his feet Hacked off his balls As his face they beat Penetrated him with broken glass Left him to die in the underpass

1/6 of my CD collection was bought in the vain hope that it would make me seem cooler I have consumed over 100 hours of hardcore pornography 256, the number of times I have said "I am never drinking again" 50% of my exes hate my fucking guts, and the other 50% just think I'm a twat My life in statistics My life in statistics I have cheated on my various partners a total of 14 times, at least 1/3 of my life so far has been a complete waste of time 80% of the things I have started I have never finished 1 in 3 of my thoughts regard an unrequited ambition, the other 2 regard an unrequited sexual fantasy My life in statistics My life in statistics

I arrange the cans two by two My aluminium army They build a wall ten metres high Allow no enemies to harm me They march over treacherous terrain Underwear reappropriated by suspect stains Empty vessels - two litres big Giant silos replete with one last swig Fallen comrades this is a call to arms Help me to negotiate this night unharmed Neutralise my love The aggressor Undermine her Then undress her Fallen comrades this is a call to arms Help me to negotiate this night unharmed Anesthetize me from the threat of loneliness Hold me to your bosom with your sweet caress

Silent World 03:40
Wherever you go, there you are Trapped inside the wreckage of a car Crash through the driver's side Fractured limbs and broken pride Always comes before a fall Headlights illuminate the wall We condense, and break and smash Through the windscreen in a swarm of glass Ghostly figures preside My hand mangled in the door My neck wrenched off to the side The urine streams across the floor Numbness sweeps me from the neck down Blue lights propel me through the town Indifference mapped across their face Shattered limbs can't take me from this place Of misery and despair Where disgust is hidden in their care Patronising smiles and absent sighs The simple truth concealed within their lies Ghostly figures preside My hand mangled in the door My neck wrenched off to the side The urine streams across the floor Nurse cleans without a word Drugs, they bring relief Confined to this silent world I pray for my release
