No more paper, no more pen
No more river, no more king
No more darling, no more lover
No more of exactly the same thing
This isn't poetry, this isn't witticism
This isn't lyricism, it’s just plagiarism
No more nouns, no more verbs
Enough of these, the plural scourge
All of these things are just like the other ones
All of these things are exactly the same
Once alive, now a lie in light of this
All the words I've had to miss
Bark and bite, full of flight and light as piss
Nothing left to show for it
Meanwhile I stand and bide my time to lift
My head held high to catch a glimpse
Of what it’s like, now alive in light of this
No more lies I'm sick of it
Once alive, now a lie in light of this misplaced loyalty
Once a lie, now alive in light of this cunning treachery

Worn out and fraying at the seams
It won’t be long before I run empty
It still amazes me how fast time flies
The past friends and the plentiful lies
Blissful nights passed in sound seduction
Have paved the way for self destruction
It seems the way that we live our lives
Is the way that most of us die
I can feel it in my bones, standing cheek by jowl are life and distraction
And I can taste it on my lips, they quiver with anticipation
For what comes, be it good or bad
Make me feel, make me scream, make me wish I had
For I know on the day that my last breath comes
I’ll be glad for all the stupid shit I’ve done
LIVE SLOW DIE ANYWAY
My bones are tired and my feet weigh a ton
I’ll still glad for all the stupid shit I’ve done
LIVE SLOW DIE ANYWAY, WASTE NOT WANT MORE
Make me feel, make me scream, make me wish I had
LIVE SLOW DIE ANYWAY, WASTE NOT WANT MORE
HOLD FAST TO YOURSELF, DON’T JUST SURVIVE
JUSTIFY (JUSTIFY) YOUR IDOLS
DON’T STAND IDLY BY AND COVER YOUR EYES
I’d rather write cheques that my body can’t cash than live my life just waiting for death.
