lyrics

I know that your eager to fulfill your role
Keep your eye on the demons they’ll swallow your soul
I know that your eager to fulfill your role
but
watch out for the demons…

Play it safe don’t play it cool
I was raised to be a fool
Keep me humble treat me cruel
Put me in the corner expand your gene-pool

My defective, reflective medic,
I got to hope that this ain’t just some cheap trick
you’re incessant, but right candescent,
and that arse is an antidepressant..

The magician has made the incision,
Racked by guilt and indecision
Hopes dashed and his life flashed
Cars crashed and last cheque’s cashed.

I know that your eager to fulfill your role
Keep your eye on the demons they’ll swallow your soul
I know that your eager to fulfill your role
Keep your eye on the demons they’ll swallow your soul
I know that your eager to fulfill your role
Keep your eye on the demons they’ll swallow your soul
I know that your eager to fulfill your role
but
watch out for the demons

Paint it black and red and blue,
Take it all, i wouldn’t have a clue.
If I’m not me then who the hell are you?
Lie to me, tell me what you said was true

My self-deductive constructive critic, the hands on the clock just tick,
And time flies on drive bys, closed eyes and forgotten lullabies. 
Oh my eclectic electric skeptic, piece by piece and brick by brick,
We’ll construct a new lifetime, red wine, moonshine

I know that your eager to fulfill your role
Keep your eye on the demons cos they’ll swallow your soul
I know that your eager to fulfill your role
Keep your eye on the demons cos they’ll swallow your soul
I know that your eager to fulfill your role
Keep your eye on the demons cos they’ll swallow your soul
I know that your eager to fulfill that role
but
it’ll suck out your soul and it’ll eat it and you won’t have anything left and that’ll be a disappointment to your famiy…
