Fake Chemical State

Alone In My Room

V1
Ma belly,
Full a juice
What ya givin’ to me

Sugar free,
Your problem
You my crack beauty
Queen
Watch out
Maniac
Betta run if ya scared

Freak out
No doubt
Get that shit out your hair

Chorus
I would rather spend my time
Alone in my room
Than spend it with you
(X2)

V2
Plain devil
Be careful
I can spit out your charm

Silly baby
Stone cracy
Can’t you hear the alarm

Cool blue
For the fool
Take your football and leave

Suicide
Damn tired
This is nothing I need

Back


She's On

V1
I’m walking around
Still looking sound
Wishing you could see me

Like a dog in hell
I’m gonna bite to kill
And make it easy

V2
And when the birds and the bees
Get a little squeeze
That’s where you’ll find me

(C’os I) been picking up tricks
(So) I’m feelin’ slick
For all who need me

Chorus
Oh no she’s on
(And there’s) no one quite like her to tune you out
Oh no she’s on
(And there’s) no one quite like her to freak you out
Girl I’m gonna take you down

V3
I’m walking around
Not making a sound
(C’os I’m) big time sneaky

Like a babe with a bell
I’m gonna ring and tell
(And) take your sweeties

V4
And when the birds in the trees
Give up all their seeds
I’m gonna eat my fill

I’m gonna skin the bricks
Gonna play for kicks
And make it seedy

Back


Movin'

Verse 1
A look of death that turns you on
I’m too destructive to be the one

Chorus
That’s were I’m going to
Some place that’s far from you
I’m movin’ on

Verse 2
I’m to frustrated to kill your glare
I can’t dismiss, you don’t compare

Break
And when I find my place
I’ll make this stupid feeling last forever
When I find my way
Nothing left in this sick world will matter

Verse 3
I’d have to kill to fit your rules
I can’t resign until you’re through

Alt. Chorus
That’s were I’m running to
Some place that’s far from you
I’m movin’ on

Back


Just Let The Sun

Verse 1
I walked into the sea
Those waves they came for me
Egged on by scarlet sun
(But) I will never burn

My eyes stay liquid free
Not phased by chemistry
The whole nine yards i see
Striding through the haze

Chorus
Just let the sun
Shine on your face
Only the darkness blinds your way

You take it easy
You walk on your own
Look for the sunshine (you’ll) find (your) way home

Just let the sun
Shine on your face

Verse 2
Special these dirty deeds
That floods my pretty dreams
I snap awake from love
(Re)lieved I’m on my own

Fearless and tacky free
Guided by empathy
Still your not lost on me
I still smell the sea

You’ll make it (x8)

Back


Purple

Verse 1
Purple washes over me
Seeping through my open seams
I’m stained all over

Verse 2
You pretend we’ve started again
Waiting for me to say when
But i say purple

Chorus
She won’t go
Where I
I would go for you
I’d curse my heart
For you

Verse 3
Silence makes a girl talk fast
Speeding but I’m gonna crash
And burn for loves sake

Verse 4
Duty keeps a lover loyal
(But) is it really worth the spoils
When I dream purple

Back



Don't Need A Reason

Verse 1
You’re on ecstasy
I’m on herbal tea
Take a napkin out
Wipe your sweaty brow

Hail a dirty cab
Stinks of beer and shags
Can’t get home too soon

Chorus
I don’t need a reason
To take a little ride with you (x1)

Verse 2
I can’t find my keys
You break in with ease
Slap you round your face
‘Cos you like the taste

Spinning round the room
Morning comes too soon
Still it’s perfect for fools

Chorus
I don’t need a reason
To take a little ride with you (x1)

Don’t need no reason
To take a little ride with you
Don’t need a reason
To take a little ride with you

Verse 3
You’re still off your skull
This is getting dull
Days are dragging past
I will never last

Then you cling so rough
I melt into lust
Can’t pretend to play cool

Back



Nothing But

Verse 1
Please believe me
I'm estatic for you
Well why should i pretend
I have nothing to lose

No I don't compare
You've got it all wrong now
My sorrows left behind
Let me tell you the truth

Chorus
(I feel nothing but)
Joy and pride and happiness

(Nothing but)
Cheerfull face with kindness

(I feel nothing but)
Oceans of love and forgiveness
For you and your sweet girl

(Please ignore the)
Particular way i smile

(Take no notice of)
The blood on the lip i bite

(I am still your friend)
There is no denying
For you and your new girl

Verse 2
Yes I remember
Everybody has affairs
Oh yeah we had some fun
But she is so perfect for you

Back



Take Me On

Verse 1
I’ve seen a picture
Of you and me
You’re looking violent
I’m looking pleased

You got a face like a television
That keeps switching off
I’m a true reciever
But that’s not enough for you

Chorus
You gotta take me on
Gotta give me what i want
Gotta take me on

Verse 2
Don’t need a saviour
Don’t need a queen
Gonna lay with the sinners
Gonna reign when you’ve been

Press the button called spacebar
And talk a lot of B.S.
C’os i’ve seen the future
But it’s not enough for you

Back



Fooling Yourself

Verse 1
Everybody saw the cracks
Funny when you’re looking back
You see all the signs were there
(You) just didn’t know

Sooner or later then
Probably when the rain comes in
Your gonna ask your self
Where the time goes

Bridge 1
I find it hard to leave
I never wanted to deceive you
But the truth is
Don’t wanna do this

Chorus
You pull the wool over your eyes
You laugh it off and tell me you’re fine
(But) something inside you ain’t right
You’re fooling yourself all the time

Verse 2
(It) shouldn’t really be so hard
This ain’t meant to be
So difficult and
Smothered in stress

Maybe in time you’ll see
We will never get to breathe
Pure happiness
Inside of this mess

Bridge 2
I find it hard to go
But never wanted you to know
But the truth is
I don’t wanna do this

I will understand
If you get angry
But it all just faded away
And there’s no reason left for me to stay

Back



Falling For You

Verse 1
Caught a look in your eyes
Did they linger too long
Were you just being kind
Or have I read it all wrong
When I brushed by your side

Bridge 1
suddenly I realised
There’s something going on

Chorus
I’m falling for you
I’m falling for you
Whatever it is
Whatever you do
I’m falling for you

Verse 2
I must gain control
I must take care
Can’t allow this to ever
Become an affair
But the tension is sweet

Bridge 2
suddenly I need it
To keep this going on

All night I think of nothing else
(But if) I could sit out this storm
I’d try, to forget how I felt
(But as) soon as I see your face
I’ll just fall

Outro
Gonna kill this thing
Forever
I can’t carry on
Whatever it is
What ever you do
I’m falling for you

Les Loups d'Empire Soundtrack

You Kill Everything You Love

There’s no point in being careful
I’ll burn bridges anyway

There’s no point in talking vicious
(I’ve) nothing cutting left to say

I’ve achieved my own survival
I’ve refined my own sweet hell

There’s no point in craving beauty
When you’ll tear me anyhow

If I look you in the eye
I swear I’ll die
‘Cos you kill everything you love

Should I scar my face
To find my peace
While you kill everything you love

There’s no point in sitting silent
There’s no reason to stay calm

I’ve no means to look resentful
(’Cos) everybody you will charm

(I’m) crowded out by stupid duty
Smothered dead by your distain

There’s no point in shouting angry
(’Cos) there’s no reason i should stay

Getting Away With It

I’ve been walking in the rain
Just to get wet on purpose
I’ve forcing myself
Not to forget that i feel worse
I’ve been getting away with it
All my life
Getting away with it
All my life

However i look it’s clear to see
I love you more than
You love me

I hate that mirror
It makes me feel so worthless
I’m an original sinner
But when i’m with you
I could’t care less

I’ve been getting away with it
All my life
Getting away with it
All my life

Back



Fleshwounds

Faithfulness

Faithfulness
Distracts me from my ever changing
Tastefulness
My mouth upon the richest tongues
I run for this
Static at the same time by it all

Common sense
Can slap me in the face
And yet I calm disent
Embarrassed by your obvious
Indifference
Disgusted at the same time by it all
Watching as my ego breaks your fall

Don't you know that I've
Been running from you heart
And I feel like you've been running too
Don't you know that I've
been lying from the start
And I feel like you've been lying too.

Leave you now
Can't convince myself
That you're the one somehow
To free me from this smile
I call my loneliness
Stuck inside this need to feel complete
Now I've left you standing on your feet

Don't you know that I've been
running from you heart
And I feel like you've been running too
Don't you know that I've been
lying from the start
And I feel like you've been
lying too.

Faithfulness is just a little rule
We break
Still pretending lust was just a fool
we faked, we made

Back



Trashed

I’m like a soldier
With no cause to fight
Playing with bar boys
To test you just right

I watch your features
I check for a sign
Of some kind of failure
Then I feel sublime

Now I know I have to live without you
I can only bend so far
Guess it’s time to make some moves
without you
Now you’ve gone and trashed my heart

Solid demeanor
I look good a feat
Still I’m too vicous
To take on defeat

Yes I hear
You don’t feel this any more
I see
There’s nothing to believe in anymore
Just two snitches on heat
Still avoiding the grief
Because it felt so hard

Back



Don't Let Me Down

You always say
I want too much
Is it such a crime
To want more than just lust
Oh baby
Why have you frozen now

I can't conceive
The way this feels
You've grown so old
like you're counting the tears
Oh, baby
Why have you frozen now

And you say it doesn't matter
We'll always be
The best of friends

Still I need you
To stay right here

So don't let me down

I've always said
I can't abuse
Your lust for life
And the choices you choose
Oh, baby
Why have we broken now

Back



Listen To Yourself

You’re talking
In circles
The words spit out your head
They blind you
With emotion that’s plain dead

There wet sheets
Sex sodden
Mind spent and ill at ease
You mirror
Screams out this dark release

Cos only you can be your help
So darling listen
Listen to yourself

Cos only you can tame your hell
So darling listen
Listen to yourself

You know truth
But deny it
Too scared to make a break
Pure feeling
Just squandered in your wake

Don’t tell me
Your virtues
Then run the same lame strife
To tiring
These excerpts of your life

Back



Lost

What was I waiting for
Waiting for the bubble to burst
Over your stagnant pauses

Can’t cure what your devil don’t see
Or light a fire below the death of me
We’ve shot through all over our causes

Days spin through my heart
That sever the love
Kill all the pain with shame

I won’t be lost without you
I’ve found a way to get through
Now I’m up and running
Strong enough to walk away
And leave you all alone
I won’t be lost

What were you waiting for
Waiting for the straw to break
Over the back of desperate ways

You were a dream to me
Now you’re nothing but a heart
that bleeds
I’ll wash you off and carry on

(Repeat bridge and chorus)

And when I see you
I find another reason
To keep myself from getting lost in you

Back



Trouble With Me

Can’t see you through your blinding words
Eyes burning through the lies you stutter
Can’t breathe in case I take them in
Then I’d lose my mind

I believe that you believe in you
Still reeling from the words you uttered
Feel sick enough to let you win
Recognising

The trouble with me
Is my troubles with you
Sometimes you make me feel
Like I’m everybody’s fool

The trouble with me
Is my troubles with you
You’d like me to believe
I need no one but you

I stumble from your juiced up promises
Can’t believe what I forgave in you
Too scared by what you think I’m living for
So distorted

Stupid me I should have listened
to you anyway
Between the line I would have
heard the truth
So slick you coulda lied to anyone
Now I see that

You can run
You can run away
But I can run too
Far enough to see

You can run
You can run today
But I can run too
Far enough to see the wrong in you

Back



I'll Try

I don’t understand nothing less
Than this bitter release
You standing firm but won’t talk to me
Makes it harder to hold on

But I’ll try
I’ll try
I’ll try
Tell me how you feel and I’ll try

I don’t know what you want from this
Don’t know nothing at all
Just this vision that I can’t leave
Makes it harder to go on

Tell me how you feel and I’ll try

We’ll fight this regret
And smother the doubt
We’ll conquer this

We’ll conquer regret
And smother the doubt

Back



You've Made Your Bed

I’m a one night stand
Screwed the whole damn year
Cos your sneaky face
Comes streaked with tears

But I'm not joyful lover
I tell no lies
So you won't just get away with it
Without a fight

Now it's my turn to tell you

You can't keep turning to me
When she ain't coming home
You can't keep flirting with me
You've made your bed
Go lie in it alone

I'm the rotten cause
That keeps true girls down
Cause these tears of a heart
Will have us all drowned

But I'm no willing cover
I seek no praise
So you won't be getting away with it
On sorry days

I'm your contraband
Your smugglers whore
I collude with you
When you want more

But it's clear to me
You thrive on my fear
So it's time to aid the enemy
And get the hell out of here

Back



Burnt Like You


You’ll always be a born
Worn out loser
Still blaming all of us
For your bad choosing

No I can’t watch the same mistake
Waiting for the boys to turn out straight
No I can’t run the same dog race
And get burnt like you

You’re swollen in the gut
From all those last nights
Still swinging vodka punches
That don’t land right

Back



'Til Morning

Take these sore eyes
I’ve no use for them
Now I feel there’s
Nothing left to see

Take your moment
It’s not important
It’s destined for my
Fading memory

Ma baby

‘Til then sleep so completely
So discreetly
In my arms
’Til then lie
So convincingly
Stll I’ll stay here
’Till the morning comes

Take your satisfaction
If it makes it worth it
And take your little tricks
When you leave

Back



Trashed single

On and On

What you see ain’t what you get
You truly try but soon forget
The trouble that I smell in you
It leaves me blind to your abuse

Still I can hear
What you don’t know
Broken down while
Pain around me goes

On and on

Disaffected painted love
I challenge you to be the one
Who loves me like some sacred soul
And feels in me a gorgeous home

You’re the one
Who brings me down
But I’m the one
To turn it around
