[Lyric] HOUSEKEEPING (Voidhood (AUS))

[Chorus]
Like Jack Torrance they bust through my door after midnight
Two men in uniform cuff and tie my hands tight
I got the feeling that something ain’t right
Dropped to the floor, carpet burn
Malcolm, I’m stuck in the middle alright
Worried this could go Van Gogh
Hoping this don’t go Van Gogh
They must’ve been at the show
They must’ve seen the stage implode, me lose control
Paint me as a misanthrope
If that’s what I do when I’m unprovoked
The fuck I’m about to do who knows?

[Verse 1]
Good cop, bad cop
I’ll see you at the bag drop
Going everywhere from Berlin to Bangkok
You won the lotto hit the jackpot
We’re gonna condition you, Pavlov
Fellas, fellas, you know I’m not a felon
Thе only record I’ve got is the onе that’s out there selling
And if you think you can hold me-
[Pre-Chorus]
Here’s the situation; you will watch what’s on the screen
Listen to these tones until they permeate your dreams
Forget about a career whatever you were trying to achieve
We’ll say you overdosed, the drugs were seized, you’ll disappear 370

[Chorus]
Like Jack Torrance they bust through my door after midnight
Two men in uniform cuff and tie my hands tight
Not even knocking yeah that shit ain’t polite
Dropped to the floor, carpet burn
Malcolm, I’m stuck in the middle alright
Worried this could go Van Gogh
Hoping this don’t go Van Gogh
They must’ve been at the show
They must’ve seen the stage implode, me lose control
Paint me as a misanthrope
If that’s what I do when I’m unprovoked
The fuck I’m bout to do who knows?

[Verse 2]
Boot into the stomach
Fists rain down upon me
Sound tearing through my head
If you want the pain to end
Take the pill it is your friend
Swallow the hurting ceases
Unsure if these placebo
They’re giving me relief though
[Bridge]
Then while I’m recovering
The whole thing starts repeating
It’s a kick to the chest
Decibel distress
Scramble for my friend
Pop the canister ingest
Collapse into rest
Until I’m beaten on again it’s torturous
Spinning down the spider’s thread
Rubbing my wrists red
And this keeps recurring, recurring
Suddenly feel the surge begin
See their eyes widening
Fear sets in I’m flipping beds
Levitating, exorcist
Wormhole my defence it opens up and sends them to their deaths

[Pre-Chorus]
Quick fix blown out the airlock
Xenophobes looking like Xenomorphs
Resumé fit for death row
Slipping back further than Neo
I know I’ve got mental capital
But I’m feeling captive this bankroll Michigan
My crime has just turned capital
I think it’s time to pack it in
I’m complicit
[Chorus]
Like Jack Torrance they frozen dead got no return flights
Two corpses drift out in the cosmos empty caskets
Executioner, axe-wielder, I’m the one who’s violent
Down to ground floor, open doors
Blood spills it consumes everything in sight
I have lost all control
Motives mixed, error code
Could say that my hands were tied
My mind was spinning tumble dry
Canister I tuck inside
Of the threat it will remind

[Outro]
Sheets washed a good thousand times
How many times have they been tied?
Hung out to dry?
Off that sink laid a line?
Kid crying out for his father’s lullaby
Ride this out what will be your life?
Six feet under and a one hit wonder
Ride this out what will be your life?
Six feet under and a one hit wonder
