about

By the time we got to 2012, we’d been playing the 230503 material live for nearly 4 years, and had adapted and updated it significantly. The middle section of the song was always a favourite part of the set in the early days and always went down extremely well live. Also recorded at the Dovecote Lawn Festival at Belgenny Farm, this was the final performance of the song with Nick, and stylistically very typical of the earlier line up of Anubis with lots of aggression and sonic chaos.

lyrics

Cross out everything you know
And I will tell you how
How to think and how to breathe
Do you understand me?

You only know what you are told
And I will tell you now
You're not the one that you think you were
The one you were has gone

My face pushed to the floor
By force and without gain
As the city around me screams so loud
It blows my ears right off my head

Suffocate from the inside out
My skin is turning blue
The doctor comes to comfort me
To trust that I can't trust you

Bound by the knowledge that you're trying to kill me
I can send you to hell
It's just a bond of mutual distrust
But it suits me well

My blood drips to the floor
It pools like fallen rain
My cries for help are a bitter defeat
As I let it all go like the skin from my feet

The lights that blind my opened mind
Will you tend to my wounds
The men in blue will be here soon
The secret is no proof

No time to lose, no rights to prove
Nowhere left to go
You vultures pick the meat from my bones
I - prey. You - leave me alone.

I'm laid out on the floor
Struggling for breath again
I don't trust you but I know I need you.
So I do what I'm told.
