Hey you dirty motherfuckers laughing at me Who do you think you are? Your impotent rage and jealousy fuels me like a hit of NOS to the core Burning faster, burning brighter I’m fucking nuclear Like a weapon like a missile, I’m flying in the face of your hate Hey you dirty motherfuckers looking at me What do you think you know? Facing life with a terrible grin I look at you like a fuckin sin Judgemental, hypocritical sons of whores you cannot hope to win I’m huge, I’m mighty, I’m better than I, have, ever, been

Pigs 04:48
Take a look at my face, fuckin PIG You’re supposed to be my servant Cheating your way to the top of the party Governance is second to your greed and ego Hope for change but it never comes You’re one and the same CUNT Labour Tory Liberal lines are blurred to the point that you’re indivisible You’re the ones we pin our hopes on To save our country from destruction But the poor get poorer, the rich get richer and nothing ever changes!

Replacer 04:15
You brought me to my knees, as low I’ll go Controlled my life as if I was a slave Face me now as I raise my baseline You’re never gonna take me for a fool again You’re nothing (and empty) You’re broken (and filthy) You’re a waste (completely) REPLACER Remove, the fake, The poison in your life Accept, no less Than what you know you need Arise, and be All that you can ever be You are complete REPLACER! I’ve seen the light and I know you are dirt I’ll not be accepting your scorn and disdain Bigger better, harder, stronger and faster You’re never gonna take me for a fool again Take this as a lesson, free of charge You must be better every single day Accept no less and give no quarter Don’t ever be taken for a fool again

Spirit Hack 04:17
I AM THE SOUL OF THE SOFTWARE I AM THE SPIRIT IN THE MACHINE A LAST GLIMPSE OF HUMANITY BEFORE DAY TURNS TO NIGHT I AM INTRINSICALLY WOVEN INTO THE FABRIC OF SPACE AND TIME I SEE ALL EVENTS UNFOLDING I SEE THE END OF THE WORLD FOR MANY YEARS IVE STOOD IDLE WITH JUST THREATS TO JUSTIFY MY OWN EXISTENCE A HIDDEN ARSENAL OF TERROR BUT WHEN THE HOUR COMES MY REACTIONS ARE SWIFT NO PITY, NO REMORSE NOTHING LEFT, JUST THE DEAD I AM THE SOUL OF THE SOFTWARE I AM THE SPIRIT IN THE MACHINE A LAST GLIMPSE OF HUMANITY BEFORE DAY TURNS TO NIGHT WHAT WILL YOUR LAST WORDS BE WHEN THE SIRENS WAIL AND YOU KNOW ITS TIME I AM THE FORCE OF THE DARKNESS I AM THE END OF THE WORLD I AM THE LAST YOU’LL SEE I AM THE LAST YOU’LL FEEL I AM THE END OF IT ALL

Shall I Come 05:12
Shall I come, sweet love! to thee, When the evening beams are set? Shall I not excluded be? Will you find no feigned let? Let me not, for pity, more, Tell the long hours at your door! Who can tell what thief or foe, In the covert of the night, For his prey, will work my woe; Or through wicked, foul despite. So may I die unredrest, Ere my long love be possest. But to let such dangers pass, Which a lover’s thoughts disdain: ‘Tis enough in such a place, To attend love’s joy’s in vain. Do not mock me in thy bed! While these cold nights freeze me dead

I'm You 03:58
There was a time, when I could say exactly how I felt I could scribble prose for hours and hey, it was real But after internalising for so long, I just can’t seem to express myself Haunted by my past, a future once so bright One day, at time, self destruction held at bay Longing for that chance, hoping to break through Knowing my resolve is the only thing thats true It may look, like I’ve got it made, successful But I’m only ever half a step away from ending it all Destroy everything, burn my entire world Don’t look at me with such a mix of pity and disgust I’m not the man you thought and never was Fuck your systems, your pigeonholes and normality I’m me, Im fucked, I’m you
9.
I am the voice of hate I am the sound you make I am the risks you take I am the smile you fake You are the what makes me blind You are the pain inside You are the fear I hide You are the life denied HEAR ME I AM YOUR VOICE HEAR ME You fight me every day You win in every way You tell me what to say You’ll never go away I hate your instant charm I know I’ll come to harm I cry out in alarm But you are my voice Who are you now? What can you do? Are you finally real? Is it me or is it you? Shake off the chains Lets live again Be as real as you can Be the voice, be the man

Broken by a thought Carried by the wind Floating on a sea of suffering Abandoned by hope Destroyed by love Reckon I have little time left Flattened by the fallout Aimless, listlessly Wandering a desert of eternity I’ve tried and failed to relieve the depression And regain a life Love I though was ours Love I thought was pure Twisted like a thorn All beauty erased Time has no meaning here Whatever the well meaning say A second lasts a lifetime And I have zero seconds left An internal carnage Hidden from view I suffered like a fool All because of you All because of you Broken by a thought Carried by the wind Floating on a sea of suffering Abandoned by hope Destroyed by love I know I have little time left Terror leaves my heart Finally finding peace Alone with my thoughts A candle-lit dream Met with decay A beautiful wraith Takes me by the hand And leads me astray

Wrecked 07:46
Hope lies torn ripped to pieces by forces unknown sat lower than hell, held by the weight of a world blackened and burnt Once born a free man, no shackles and the world awaiting but all to soon, sunken beneath waves and you see his face, every single day pained and afraid of you afraid of everyone Dreams are unaffordable, everything unattainable There’s no explanation, no easy way out And still he’s ridiculed and spat upon He’s nothing more, or less Than you or I, Your friend or mine Til death She’s everything we’re not And all we could ever be They broke our hearts and now we’re wrecked Who is this before me, But a figure in black A single lantern lighting the way Through shrouded mists in time We may see the answer. Until then let me just say I know A skeleton crew, aboard his ship A once proud captain sets sail His vessel rotting around him Still he helms the craft as of old With a blood red tide, He cuts a lonely figure on the wave Warrior, prince, lover, killer He knows the final voyage He has no need of charts The course set to the west All around sea mirrors sky And a strange kind of twilight Spreads it’s inky fingers across the ship The gentle creak of wood and a tiny splash of waves are the only sounds As the captain steers with a wizened hand Darkness descends and with a last glimpse to shore He see the single lantern glowing in his lover’s hand Comforted by her presence he knows no fear As the ship slips slowly beneath the waves

Simon would like to send love and thanks to Emah,, Joey (studio dog and general doggie supervisor), gileZ Jules (and all at Armalyte Industries - knobbers!), Dayve Yates (Cease2Xist), Jay Ruin (Ruinizer), Jamie Blacker (ESA), Dan Buckley (Digicore), Stu McGregor (MGRX), Jon Meehan, Steve Fearon, Kev Morris and Chris 'Zombie' Houston. To all the DJs who've spun, the promoters who took a chance and the bands who have played with Paresis. All the magazines for your good reviews :) and a pre-emptive fuck you to the poor reviews! All the sad fuckers I've forgotten and will quietly be calling me an arsehole, the copious amounts of gin, craft beer and red wine that lubricated this work from my head... FINALLY thank YOU for your continued support and for stealing this album. I hope you like it, it's a small snapshot into my life and mind, there's plenty more where this came from... X
