1.
it’s such a busy world paved over again divided with lines and so loud and so alone for king and queen conveniently the mob in the fray admits its fate amidst sheer mystery that changes in its shape, taste and touch with all the ways you choose to see the hate / the greed or is it all a dream? down there we await the truth in lies and shambled demise when we choose to wake we will live without petty laws and social norms, prison walls and war though the stars may differ in light there is only one darkness where the shadows swallow us and blend into everything as one we are the earth - driven by life, bright lights and black clouds
2.
this time it comes and goes it offers what it will it will take some time you refill just to spill the sun rises to fall colours fade with the light and every sound is heard night relapses back to bright yellow noise and I can’t hear anything it’s loud and it doesn’t make sense how are all these things happening? all this hunger with their belly full the visions are set at seas of country green and the roar of silence and insect lingo the descent of the rain now falling softer, fuller and cleaner than ever what did I do to deserve this sacred object?
3.
scattered groups of houses stand forever layer after layer of replacement parts cover up the rot people come and go and crumble after year after year after fear keeps fucking the gaping holes left wide open in your soul there she blows the gritting teeth subsiding post-fear-climax just in time to the lullaby of the state go back to bed it’s an early morning start tomorrow back to what really matters if you don’t feel right you can fight it get medicated life at the bottom has never been easier you bought the skills to pay the bills again with the contraries and a predictable trail inhales the following year i think it’s happened before this has happened before
4.
believe all I preach carry out my desires blame the ones most unlike you question my motives and you will pay i built the walls you are too weak to break them bend for your buck appealing on (paper and screen) your shell is shucked modern life spills into you like poison distant shores harbour a wreckage familiar to my own carry on cadaver you’re already mine your history and the great divide
5.
heads of inner empty with nothing to lose – nothing to gain repeating to the chorus all that I had hated born violently again out of the shadows they came wretched life will bloom with no tolerance for its own pain and all the time in the world for yours and mine all that I had hated born violently again brand new life sedated raised in shaking hands with a world we share dark streets with demons starve them of your fear
6.
identity lets me be me lets me bare my name lets me wear my skin lets me love my country this is my privilege? identity calls on me to vote calls it liberation calls it my free will calls it my good fortune this is our privilege?
7.
sinister placement of tampered cards a far from fair hand well played expressionless deep within the game we are going to the moon outer space away there has to be somewhere without all the degradation and the oceans between us we are going to the moon outer space your sunken eyes take light from my life recited and excused rewritten for you backs turned tread worn grip gone incarcerated to return by promise and by fire

about

Shark Puncher Launceston, Australia

A crushing sound of rockin' metal with a progressive feel where anything goes!
The bands beginnings hail back to 2011, where members convened to develop a project that encompassed a powerful, yet inspired approach to music. They quickly set about developing songs and acquired the final lineup, crafting their art along the way, for their first show in November 2012. ... more
