LOVE BORN DEAD -------------------------- I want you to know that I see through your show Self-inflicted wounds are all you’ve ever known And I won’t let you leave a mark on my heart ‘Cos that's how it starts   Cold dead air blows through your mind No-one cares, but lately I find I don’t give a damn what you think of me I don’t give a fuck what’s been said I no longer pine for your company For truly our love was born dead   I want them to know that I lived through your show And know for sure the damage done is yours and yours alone For I won’t let this be the bolt on my heart Because that's how it starts   Cold blank stares escape from your eyes No-one dares to question your lies I don’t give a damn what they think of me I don’t give a fuck what’s been said I no longer offer you empathy For inside you’re already dead   You’re already dead   Cold dead air blows through your mind No-one cares, but lately I find I don’t give a damn what you think of me I don’t give a fuck what’s been said I no longer pine for your company For truly our love was born dead   Cold blank stares escape from your eyes No-one dares to question your lies I don’t give a damn what they think of me I don’t give a fuck what’s been said I no longer offer you empathy For to me now you’re already dead   And inside you’ll always be dead Truly our love was born dead Born dead But inside I’ll never be © 2011 MAILMAN c/o Zeitgeist Production

SEVERANCE ------------------ If you want to walk away, go But if you want to make me pay, grow up For never will I thank you for the love you never gave to me And never will I trust you if you go with make believe Each time it invites you If you want to speak the truth, call in But if you need to see the proof, go within ‘It’s better to forgive them for the love they never gave’, you say But your soul is in the doorway singing: ‘I just want to stay destroyed and in turmoil’ Tell me something I don’t already know I know you want to believe They take you somewhere you don’t want to go You just don’t want to say goodbye I tell you nothing you don’t already know They tell you what to believe It gets you nowhere going with the flow I just don’t want to see you cry Why...? If you want to walk my way, come ‘Cos I would love to bring this day some hope For it’s better to have loved than let the tyrants and disease take hold They had you running down the stairway singing: ‘I don’t want to be involved.’ When you were… You don’t get nowhere going with the flow You just get washed out to sea You end up frozen, lost and all alone I just don’t want to feel you die Tell me something I don’t already know I know you’re made to believe They take you somewhere you don’t want to go You just don’t want to say goodbye I tell you nothing you don’t already know They tell you what to believe It gets you nowhere going with the flow I just don’t want to see you cry Why...? © 2012 MAILMAN / Zeitgeist Production

LUNACY INC. -------------------- It’s a life less rational So we put everything on show They don’t see us at all Yet they eye us as if they know   Honestly - why would you strive to be The enemy of a peaceful clan? Endlessly making them out to be Incendiary - like the flames you fan… Seriously - everyone else just sees Insanity getting out of hand Honestly, it don’t do anything for you now   A herd mentality Shows you the way so you go along To absurd realities Known to be cold, inhumane and wrong   Honestly - why would you seek to be The enemy of a peaceful man? Endlessly making him out to be Some anomaly with an evil plan… Seriously - everyone here can see Your insanity getting out of hand Honestly, it don’t do anything for you now   Your mindless clinging on Shows that we still have a way to go ‘Keep calm and carry on’ No - someone has to stem the flow   Honestly - why would you want to be Security in a locked up town? Endlessly making a deity of conformity You’re the wrong way round… Seriously - it’s easy enough to see How this lunacy brings the whole world down Honestly, it don’t do anything for us now   It don’t do anything for us now (x3)   And it don’t do anything for you now  © 2012 MAILMAN / Zeitgeist Production

As dark as it gets for me. So not that dark, really. All things considered. All part of my evil plan, naturally... ;)
