02. I'm Charming
Yeah, I'm running off the rails
I've finally gone crazy And the ground is spinning faster Than my teeth could ever grind I know it's a shame When success was to blame But I can't remember my name In the absolute wrong I have made this place to lay my head A reoccurring nightmare I never trust, I never rest I've become another victim Of this self-serving device My cock does all the talking My mouth now just for lie I'm winding down to nothing It suddenly comes clear I'm winding down to nothing Human smoke that fills the air What can you believe? That is the question I have you on a string Something yet up my sleeve Bury me deep, As we have an unborn child In this world yet cold enough To host this seed of endless ugliness In a sea of corruption A wake of lie So wildly I have stirred I'm winding down to nothing It suddenly comes clear I'm winding down to nothing A human smoke that fills the air What can you believe? That is the question I have you on a string Something yet up my sleeve (My love is but a lie) Always reaping what I have sown (Taking you down with me) To what degrees you'll never know 03. Flies
Down!
Start digging down your throat Another string of lies is born You must exemplify perfection Bronzing a broken life of shit You filthy liar Septic tongue, shit eating grin Slow internal suicide An inch within the triggers pull again This disease it is your mainstay It wears its wires within me Tender tissues scraped away Of secrets etched on nameless graves The smell of vomit Hangs in the air tonight Blush, eyeliner, lipstick It's all right, tonight You filthy liar Septic tongue, shit eating grin Love me with your yellowed smile My flies are hungry for your kiss Poison me my darling Graves grow deeper with each passing day This appalling love Bask in your putrid revelry Beauty lost in between The lashes of sick drunken eye Like a fool you have believed Life of shame, you have fallen completely beneath And when the curtains finally part You'll see that everyone is laughing I am weakness just like you I'll bury you before you're dead Cockroach, come crawling home! Crawl - slithering Through this world of sculpted shit So thrust those fingers deep, my child It is your burden and your gift You filthy liar Septic tongue, shit eating grin Slow internal suicide An inch within the triggers pull again Poison me my darling Graves grow deeper with each passing day This appalling love Bask in your putrid revelry 04. Statutory Ape
This is a reckoning
A clichéd cut of lying tongue Revenge never goes out of style Gorilla honing trigger-finger That makes gorilla man Ingrained, there's hate within us all Spiraling I've lost my footing once again I'm flailing in a tantrum of disgust When life holds nothing sacred When the loveless turn to loathe We'll witness this final threatened pose (Oh!) Oh, Mother War! Sleep in your arms tonight, I'm burning I'm burning for your love (This) This juggernaut of bronze and alcohol Machines of vengeance now are born In vengeance we are born To our graves these grudges shall be sworn The ultimate death of emotion never mourned We'll die before we crawl Twisted ministers of death Praying for a bullet hail Gorilla, suffocate! Gorilla, maim! An education in... Howling! Ministers of death We'll be praying, Praying for this bullet hail Gorilla, suffocate! Gorilla, maim! An education in complete misanthropy (Oh!) Oh, Mother War! Sleep in your arms tonight, I'm burning I'm burning for your love (This) This juggernaut of bronze and alcohol Machines of vengeance now are born (Oh!) Oh, Mother War! Sleep in your arms tonight, I'm burning I'm burning! In vengeance we are born To our fucking graves The greatest tribe(?) forever, Forever! 05. A Vulgar Picture
Now the funeral grounds
Are at last awash With the blackness Of this frigid autumn night I've lurked into the graveyard With pick and spade in tow This night shall birth forth our reckoning Hell's jaws now open wide A stare to pierce six-feet of soil A love beyond this mortal coil As though you've never left my side I hold your stiffened body so close to me For years I've lived in dreams Awake I felt as dead As my cold and bloodless bride to be I can barely suppress my elation My blood is racing as I strike the lid A quick pry of the casket Reveals her body paralyzed So long I've waited for this moment To trust my fingers deep inside Now you will live This song of the deceased The ones whose souls Will never rest in peace [solo] The throes of necromantic lust Infect my mind Cries of my precious frozen angel Beckon from inside I feel alive For once I'm feeling so alive My skin is crawling, I'm completed On this resurrection night This night reveals a morbid truth Loves bounds post mortally removed As though you've never left my side I hold your stiffened body so close to me For years I've lived in dreams Awake I felt as dead My cold and bloodless bride to be In rapture my mind is lured by my own knife To join this fragile being asleep below The reflection of a razor Reveals the moon so perfectly Along my impatient veins Its steel does graze With the kiss of suicide I feel no pain As lay with my lover and bride The silk lining now stained with my offering I embrace the end of my now worthless life 06. Novelty Crosses
Eyes of perfect ivory
Match the sweetest lengths of your neck I'm but a stain to such holy fabrics Darwin's proposal Bouncing back from colored glass Serpents will guide me to your hull Slithering between the pews of pearl I'll walk a path of purity and temporary grace Whatever it may take to eat and drink of you till slaked To run a gloveless finger up Curvaceous trembling leg We mustn't wait The fruits of tragedy we'll taste I'll be Adam, you'll be Eve We'll fuck and so create I'm being strangled by his statue If only his cold eyes could weep For these things that shouldn't be Father, I've been sinning I've pulled a fast one The perfect sleight of fate Goddamn, girl Like an hourglass I'll invert you The Higher powers shuddering At what you have become The laws of science abandoned Thrust into purgatory Mary, you've never looked so tender I will you statues here To take a breath of life and look upon Her virgin skin raised in anticipation The dark has won My darkness has won again What is truth? I cannot yet discern Kneeling in hope of reprimand This Father's love shall not within me flow I've fallen to my knees in hollow prayer How original a sin! We'll fuck and so create And burn this planet in our wake I'm being strangled by his statue If only his cold eyes could weep For these things that shouldn't be Father, I've been sinning I've pulled a fast one The perfect sleight of fate Goddamn, girl Like an hourglass I'll invert you The only heaven I will know Is heaving 'neath the buttons of your blouse We'll be immortal A most blessed union of lust The flames of Hell shall lick our coattails As we feast of infinity's bust 07. Dave Goes To Hollywood
We of blood frozen
So thick it cannot thaw Joints lubricated By sweet alcohol Liver dissolving Eyelids but heavy sheets Ignorant bliss and The bloodshot secrets it will keep Pills if you wouldn't mind Clouds of vapor to stretch out the miles Hung over we'll greet a certain death With flash of chipped tooth smile Each cities secrets buried beneath In this campaign of vice Drinking song's a reprise A slow blur existence Wading knee deep in sin Clutch at the ulcer Acknowledge the frailty within At dawn we begin again You who have never seen your breath Are you alive? This mitten clenches in a fist To kiss this fucking world goodnight Destroyer, my only keeper I kneel unto your amber gates Pray you'll kill the ugliness That sleep won't take away Free drinks They shall not kill us They only warm our fucking bones But late at night I can't forget your laugh And everything I used to know But I've never seen so many faces And I've never felt this all alone Well, I guess this is what I've always wanted A four-wheeled coffin to call home I will not ask another name Disappearing faster than they came Are you having fun? Are you entertained? Another heart-shaped bruise Another friend back home I'll lose Am I missing something? What is left to prove? Another heated first name fuck Another stroke of dead man's luck Another year I can't replace Another tear sent down her face At dawn we begin again Tune of death shall bring an end You who have never seen your breath Are you alive? This mitten clenches in a fist To kiss this fucking hell goodnight Destroyer, my only keeper I kneel unto your amber gates Pray you'll kill the ugliness That sleep won't take away 08. Miscarriage
The language of the lie
Barbed and callous tongues shall lick Behind the thinnest doors A web of falsehood so unfolds Humility (Pride dissected, maliciously) A mockery Bonds dissolve in endless mimicry Cruelly illuminated Subject of shallow spectacle Inherent weaknesses revealed Contact withers to a lull Once perfect pictures, Now stained with fingerprints Tragedy fucks jealously The human heartstrings bend and break Vultures with human eyes Can you feel them circling? Prey on tender moments The failures of purest dream Our selfish means Are the means to this fucking end A knife for every spine Of every man Nails scratching into the flesh Until the fibers are broken Something's got to give The bottoms of bottles No longer ease the pain And the bathroom mirror Reflects the face of autonomy Man must invert Internalize the pain Sequence replays in the mind The human heartstrings bend and break Vultures with human eyes Can you feel them circling? Prey on tender moments The failures of purest dream Our selfish means Are the means to this fucking end A knife for every spine Of every man... of every man Lot of the ugly answers Lie somewhere in between Intrinsic disregard The burden of weakness They're sharpening! The knives are always sharpening A life now stained with fingerprints Something's got to give 09. Spite Suicide
Terror is thy name!
Burning thine bridge And death the same A year to drain my innocence And course it through your blackened veins Oh, Demoness! (Oh, Demoness!) What has our daughter become? Trash for the maggots to eat? What color eyes should be staring at me in my dreams? Abomination born in this union of hate (Killed in the name of the free) And of our son? To the sickle he clung A featureless face for your nightmarish dreams Dilate - extract Dilate - and bury it all Mother, vampiric mistress or night-fed blood Who pets her child's head from a grave (Demon!) Enchantress of evil profound Dead and nameless, dead (A noose to choke the memories from me) Addicted to those forbidden hands Thrust deep inside her helpless hull (SCRAPE!) Scrape it all away Vacuum these pictures from my brain Scrape it all away How I shall laugh once you have died! How I will sleep once you've been destroyed! (Destroyed, destroyed, destroyed, destroyed) Dilate - extract Dilate - and bury it dead Mother, vampiric mistress or night-fed blood Who pets her child's head from a grave (Demon!) Enchantress of evil profound Dead and nameless, dead (A noose to choke the memories from me) DEAD! 10. Miasma
In between we insidious vapors shalt teem
Looming so loathsome And it seems to me like I'm dead inside A bloated corpse propped out of tradition I can never recall What it was I had ever to strive for? As a youth, was it just to exist autonomously? No, we don't wanna work We just wanna fuck, swallow pills, and forget our curses No, we don't need pigs like you We follow the laws of our emptying veins In this world of nothing for me I'd be sooner destroyed Vampire youth Raise your cups to the ne'er-waning moon Let its visage ring true! To the hearts cold and blue We're dying each moment free We're all animals here Flesh and blood, bone and dream We're just impulses here Just another piece of shit in the storm Just another piece of shit! SHIT! From the smelling of things it appears This shit has come to a boil Nighttime we shall rule as our own While this hollow will sleep We shall bark at the moon In this world of nothing for me I'd be sooner destroyed In this world there is nothing for us But the sound, but the sound! Vampire youth Raise your cups to the ne'er-waning moon Let its visage ring true! To the hearts cold and blue We're dying each moment We'll never sleep again We'll be going fucking mad Sin and Hell is all we will ever know Just another piece of shit |
