    Quite difficult to explain how this one works online. Better just buy one to figure it out.

    Triple-tiered CD contraption of our debut release 'Hatesongs'. All handmade, and took a terrifying amount of time and resources to assemble.

    If you've ever seen the science books that have multiple transparent layers, each with a different part of the human body on (eg; skin, muscles, organs, bones) it's a little like that. A bit like this fella: theapprofessor.org/textbook-kevins.html

    Except with added music.

lyrics

Wish I didn’t think you deserved a beating but you did
After everything you put me through
Everybody think you’re a hero it makes me sick
If I was asking for it so were you

Strutting like a peacock telling lies with your jealous tongue
I’m not surprised they kicked you black and blue
Wear it like a badge of honour like the marine I met in the hotel lobby
Everybody calls him hero too
If only they knew all that he would do
If they got on his arbitrary bad side he wouldn’t hesitate to teach them all a thing
A thing or two

I’m getting used to keeping my mouth shut it seems it’s true
That everybody loves a good headline more than they’d like to hear the truth
You turn up with your cock and bull story about your late night scare
And honestly I’m not sad it happened I’m only sad that I wasn’t there

Everybody thinks you’re a victim you’re just a thief
You owe the fact that you’re still here to me
But that would never stop you mouthing off about all that we apparently did that night
I told the truth you didn’t want to know
I don’t know how you sleep at night with all that righteous wounded pride
You’re nobody and you should go

I’m getting used to keeping my mouth shut it seems I always knew
That people want to jump on a story more than they like the filthy truth
Don’t think that my concern for you is anything but pity
Cause honestly I’m not sad it happened I’m only sad that it wasn’t me
I’m only sad that it wasn’t me
You should be glad that it wasn’t me
