Cancer Bats Tribute EP

Bricks And Mortar

Pain is like my driver, driving me insane
I'm screaming out help me carry this burden
Pressure all around that tries to drag us to the deep
Grief like a halo around my neck

My salvation, bricks and mortar
Help save me from the cold take this halo
I dream of bricks and mortar salvation for my soul
I dream of bricks and mortar help save me from the cold

Nailing shut my coffin, coughing in the rain
I'm screaming out help me shoulder this tombstone
Searching to defeat the many things that keep us weak
Grief like a halo around my neck

You can tear away my flesh you can crush all my bones but you will never take my soul
Broken like an arrow, arrow in my leg
I'm screaming for someone to shoulder this burden
Strengthen up our grip against the changing of the tide
Grief like a halo around my neck

True Zero

And I remind myself who I really am

Welcome to the year I'm from the reckless son of a northern gun
Counting back from 21 all alone tried my best to push my luck
Best mistake was not giving a fuck counting back from 21 all alone
No further from the same too many broken mirrors or so they say
This is where I'll stay true zero established today
And I remind myself who I really am
Take this from me I'll meet you on the other side

Count seasons dead and gone wrecked my path from what I was on 
Counting back from 21 all alone
Each odd that they had stacked chopped it down with the blade of an axe
Counting back from 21 all alone
No further from the same too many broken mirrors or so they say
This is where I'll stay true zero established today
Distorted figures I'll make my way
This is where I'll stay true zero established today

Can't take this these numbers breakdown on me
I'll resist these numbers breakdown on me
This is where I'll stay negative falls away
This is where I'll stay true zero established today
And I remind myself who I really am
Take this from me I'll meet you on the other side

All Hail

1984 Crash land Antarctica find a human host in Richmond, Virginia
Oderus Urungus becomes Dave Brockie Galactic Union to overthrow humanity
All hail Oderus long live the cuttlefish
All hail Oderus 30 years of anarchy

Redefining punk rock widespread destruction from here to fucking Ragnarok
Fuck all the critics let the pigs do their worst Oderus came to enslave planet Earth
All hail Oderus long live the cuttlefish
All hail Oderus slave-pit allegiance until I die

From another dimension monster one of a kind 
Oderus Urungus The greatest scum dog of all time
Return to the cosmos to destroy once again
Return to the cosmos to reign as King
Counting the days until the universe returns his soul

No More Bullshit

Chokehold every lost day that's forgotten ice age freezing over every last option
I'm just carrying on smoke stack burning up everything rotten
Resist just getting caught at the bottom I know I've just begun
I'll break free from this concrete hijack every minute I can
Time like diamonds strangled from coal no more bullshit
Time like diamonds strangled from coal stay focused

Countdown grains until you enter oblivion cinder blockade yourself in a dark room
I'm just carrying on hold off following every lost action
Stock pile, stronghold, withhold your goals I know I've just begun
I'll break free from this concrete hijack every minute I can
Time like diamonds strangled from coal no more bullshit
Time like diamonds strangled from coal stay focused

Analogue breaks this concentration we face annihilation
One chance to get it wrong life is a marathon

Raised Right

Set straight from the first time taught from the start, right from wrong
Led by example, shown to be strong on how to act and to carry on
My mother raised me, to be a gentleman and I know I am my father's son

I'll always be keeping my, head up high
I'll always be keeping on, on and on
I'll always be keeping my, head up high
I'll always be keeping on, on and on

Hard work was the best of traits and to lend a hand, whenever you can
If it was never broken, no need to fix if it needed mending, learn to stitch
My mother raised me, a resourceful man and I know I am my father's son

Without a foundation and sights set so clear I would fail
I know that I could not have made it to here I would fail
All that you gave me came straight from the heart I would fail
Without all the love that you gave from the start I would fail

Set straight from the first time it's a credit to you I never went astray
Last time I checked, I was doing fine last time I checked I hadn't lost my mind
My mother raised me, as best as she could I know I am my father's son

R.A.T.S.

Rats turncoats and dead end friends self-centred and traitors
That will just try to break you and leave you
Rats cold fakes black hearts shit talkers that have no end
Low-lifer and haters on a cycle to nowhere who don't care

There's a special place in hell for people like you
There's a special place in hell for the shit you've done
There's a special place in hell for people like you
There's a special place in hell for the shit you've done
There's a special place in hell for people like you
There's a special place in hell for every filthy rat

Rats I'm sick and tired of getting fucked with
Nobodies lacing examples so never think it's just you because it's us too
Rats never quit never change world over they're all the same
We're unified in our hatred that is the reason I wrote this

I'm counting down the days
I'm counting down the days until every rat has burned
I'm counting down the days
I'm counting down until every rat has burned in hell
There's a special place in hell for motherfuckers like you
There's a special place in hell for every filthy rat
