Wolf Biter 02:58
I eat my skin Chew my finger 'til it bleeds Bite a chunk out of my thumb Gnaw craters in the skin I'm a wolf biter, honey And I'll bite until I die Swallow the flesh I bite down to the bone Hide my hands inside my sleeves When the infection seeps in I'm a wolf biter, honey And I'll bite until I die I'm a wolf biter, honey And I'll eat myself alive Calloused knuckles, blistered tips Mutilated, cracked and ripped Frenzied teeth puncture the surface Of my tormented epidermis Lacerated, torn and frayed It heals, then it begins again I'm a wolf biter, honey And I'll bite until I die I'm a wolf biter, honey And I'll eat myself alive The grim satisfaction Of a scrap between the lips I cover my grimace To hide the bloodstains on my teeth

Waiting like a good friend should Try again knowing it won't work You're ok pretending it's all fine I'm ashamed every time Closed up I'm dried out Tears sting, I don't know You're everything I've ever known I couldn't ask you again Waiting for me like a good friend Try to forget the time When my body was the string That held you up and let you down I held you up, I let you down I think I held you down

Haircut 02:59
I just wanna cut my hair But I can't bring myself to do it because I'm scared of scissors I just wanna talk to you But I can't because my mummy says I shouldn't talk to strangers I just wanna go to sleep But I can't because it always feels like I'm procrastinating I don't wanna waste my time But I do because I can't find the motivation

I try to pretend I didn't hear it Sure it did offend but won't go near it Dunno I guess whatever There it is again, I can't ignore it This I will regret, I'm going for it Dunno I guess whatever That didn't go so well, that's the last time That I'm gonna tell what's on my mind

Domesticated 02:13
Give me a biscuit I'll show you a trick Tickle my belly And cut off my dick If I'm man's best I'd hate to be his enemy He throws me a bone and then he calls it empathy He lets me piss the garden if I ask him politely Not allowed on the sofa I know my own place But I sit there anywhere To see the look on his face Someday I'll do a runner A slick son of a bitch Leave you holding my collar And a bag full of shit It's not love but I guess it's close enough It's not a life but it's the next best thing

Eraserblade 03:24
They cut you out As if you never were I'm not one of them but they're one of me I cut myself out from between their teeth They wear you down Til they rub you out Without a sound Well I'll make a sound
7.
Doctor, doctor, can you please give me some help? I just can't convince myself that the whole world isn't out to get me Can you explain why I always feel this pain When it grips my belly drains and I can't tell why it upsets me Doctor, doctor, can you please give me advice? The big boys won't play nice I get kicked around and bruised and broken What's the choice when I can't control my voice? It will never make a noise But still I find my tears are choking me Just because I'm scared of the swings Doctor, doctor, can you please give me a pill? The big boys scare me still In my training pants, can't make the grade Someone said that I still wet the bed Well I tried forgive, forget But still I find I feel afraid Just because I'm scared of the swings

about

"if a gang of meatheads pushed you to the ground, scrunched your face in the gravel and poured a pint of red ants down the back of your shirt it would barely equal the excitement of listening to Four Thousand Dollar Ham Napkin. ... like a mad mix of Placebo and Dinosaur Jr but with a huge dose of their own thing thrown in." - Scoop Malloy

"a pithy rumble of unrelenting guitar that fizzes through the room as stonking drum-kit snaps at the ears with the bass growling menacingly from which the vocal (sometimes solo – sometimes as a duo) gives the compositions a tint of emo" - Tim Whale (emergingindiebands.com)

"Ham Napkin? Seriously? Why don’t you just call yourselves Value Pack Bumwipe, or Supermarket Own Brand Pot Noodle
Substitute and really kill your career before it’s started? [...] Unlike the music, that is proper shit." - Nightshift (nightshiftmag.co.uk)

"whichever of you wrote the lyrics to jubilant slice of gorge-rock "Wolf-Biter" is a warped genius!" - Steve Watts
