spare only the ones I love. slay the rest.
make us pay. make us pay. worldwide recall of defective machines.
all consuming, deaf, blind and dumb, as seen on tv.
give us our plague. now. give us our plague.
we’re done evolving and we feel no shame.
spare only the ones I love. spare only the ones I love.
make us pay. make us pay so we can’t remember the look on your face.
eye less clay in a cold, darkened space.
arms outstretched, stomachs fat, a phallus covered in blood
give us our plague. now. give us our plague.
start over, this time no gods unless they’re women.
spare only the ones I love

let me get a little of your heart worm, let me go to waste.
I get what I don’t want until I want it. then it falls away.
any other day I’d give you what you want but I don’t have it.
nothing’s gonna change awesome as a miracle. hunted like an animal.
can’t kill a man whose never felt alive.
let me get some more of that neglect, yea put it in my veins.
I got a right to want a little less, right? take it all away.
any other day I’d give it all I got but I have lost it. damn it anyway
awesome as a miracle. wanted like a criminal.
can’t electrocute a man thats made of light
can’t hang a man thats done no crime
read me my last rights.
awesome as a miracle. wanted like a criminal.
blinded by the neon afterglow
fuck it I don’t want another first rush. it feels the fucking same.
I haven’t even peaked yet. I’m waiting for the wave.
every single day I’m tripping on a hole in the space-time.
it’s 1968.
watch it on the video. play it on the stereo.
read me my rights. last rights.
then read them again.
give my love to buffalo
read me my last rights. louder.
wanted like a criminal.
awesome as a miracle. say it.
hunted like an animal
awesome as a miracle

Planet Shit
03:56
|

coming live from planet shit
our only hope was in a murdered kid
the one god we had went off the grid
no future with a racist past
but we can’t acknowledge that
so we burn a cross and pray to a flag
we’ll wave it high
those pigs are fat with “pride”
the karma wheel is flat
even the ten commandments cracked
there’s no law when the outlaw wears a badge
so throw a brick. the tool becomes an instrument
whose fucking side are you on
whose fucking side are you on?
when all the lines that were drawn.
are washed away in the blood
whose fucking side are you on?
what kind of heaven awaits someone so cruel and afraid?
but they gated hell. you could be living well in your private hell.
so give em rope. lets give em rope. yea give them rope
or the guillotine. better yet, the guillotine. yea the guillotine.
honesty’s not a virtue when you’re a lying piece of shit.
you’re a soulless hypocrite
love is not a virtue when you’re a heartless piece of shit.
you’re a soulless hypocrite
monsters. we stand no chance without your heads.
you fucking monsters. we stand no chance without your heads.
I want heads.
what kind of death can you buy thats any different than mine?
so give em rope. lets give em rope. yea give em rope
or the guillotine. better yet, the guillotine. yea the guillotine.
fuck you. die. you’re already dead inside.
we’re all trapped on planet shit
our only hope was in a murdered kid
the one god we had went off the grid
your suicide is our only chance at life
whose fucking side are you on?
whose fucking side are you on?
when all the lines that were drawn.
are washed away in the blood
the blade that cuts through their spine has good people on both sides

Post-Boredom
03:16
|
|||
I did a terrible thing and somebody should do something about it.
I’m haunted by an eternal return, I never should have allowed it.
I broke my own heart. I’m trying to forgive myself.
but if it gets too close I gotta kill it. I’m gonna need your help.
my annihilation kicked off post boredom
I don’t want be a better liar. I don’t want to make you think
that what you get is what you see just because you want it. this muddy water ain’t deep.
I broke my own heart I’m trying to convince myself.
that I can suffer if I want, motherfucker. just put me back on your shelf
my annihilation started before I did
my annihilation ended before we did
I gave you nothing. you want more? you’ll get more nothing.
come on and give a big man a little thrill. come on and give a sick man his poison pill.
I don’t want no harm.
I’ve done it all wrong for so long it feels okay.
from up here the parties and funerals, they look the same.
when every morning after is the same day.
I want one more last chance. make me another mistake
all I can take is everything that I have given away.
I walked in with one foot out the door, you knew that I was not gonna stay
I broke my own heart I’m trying to forgive myself.
I don’t give a goddamn about the magic just put me under your spell.
my annihilation kicked off post boredom
I gave you nothing. you want more? you’ll get more.

A Colossal Wreck
02:28
|
|||
give it all back to the animals.
no one is gonna deliver us.
give it back.
all the wrong people are gone
all the wrong people are gone
why would god be in a godless swamp? all the wrong people are gone
down here they eat, fuck and ravage
a new breed of white, ancient savage
wicked men with cross in hand praying for bodies to scavenge
a prison ship of bloat and rot
they can’t just have, we must have not
dark red speck. colossal wreck.
the arc crashes into the rocks
the fragile are broken and smothered
children are torn from their mothers
the dumb and cruel establish rule
life is how sinners are punished
don’t let them out, let me in. they’re burning a witch.
came for the kill never left. son of a bitch. I’m calling it quits.
I should have been baptized. deaths perfect shine is in my eyes.
now I’m just killing time until time decides I’ve had enough.

Desperate Pleasures
03:11
|
|||
wheel out your god, these are desperate times.
talk to your mother, these are desperate times.
dance with your lover these are desperate times.
surrender yourself these are desperate times.
fight for their lives. fight for their lives. the hopeless are useless in desperate times
you got it bad? try having passion. try still believing that some good will happen.
though nothing ever has. and nothing ever will. because nothing ever can.
it’s almost unbearable. honestly? terrible.
we’re in the golden age of bastards
we’re living in the golden age of bastards
bastards.
despairing is painless and peace is a lie, you should try loving man while fucking hating mankind. it rips you apart.
got an atheist praying for judgement day. enough to make an atheist pray for judgement day.
the great American sob story
a sad S.O.B story- a holy man who kills what cannot be saved.
at war with a villain, you can’t call a truce
you put down your weapon but now he’s got two a liar’s a liar, take him at his word.
forever rebelling against the absurd
the world made us sick. how can it heal us?
we can not be saved by the men digging graves
in desperate times.
hey, look on the bright side. there’s nowhere but up from a canyon in hell.

All This And War
03:10
|
|||
stop now, before you find yourself.
it was perfect. just embrace the chill
all the chaos, the loose breaking hell.
is it worth it? to unearth yourself?
just put the mess you won’t clean up in your will
it comes into view
the order of disorder, the shapes and truths.
these symptoms I don’t understand.
they’re just echoes of a broken man.
feel it happening. all my history. its a cryin’ shame.
look behind you to see what’s coming.
it ends when I say it ends.
and then we war. and then we war. thats just who we are. it’s who we are.
a legend has passed on.
look at it. you could change it. or call it as it’s coming down.
as we make believe fate will land with the coin it’s
heads, it’s in our blood. it’s in our blood.
or it’s tails, who we become. who we become.
but I refuse to laugh it off, or call it off
or to give it one piece of the accolades to make it shake
the aces never fell.
filthy Shepards watching over their clean sheep. it’s a bad beat.
should I blame it to the river? to the dealer? or give it up to the fact that I’m breaking?
you’re mistaken. I’m all in with the changes.
we’re nothing more. all this and war.

Thing With Feathers
03:38
|
|||
I think we’re done here. no conversation. just telepathic communication.
while you’re locked beneath your bones, the sky awaits.
you’re a thing with feathers now. elevate.
In the long dark night of eternal life, you’ve always been a light.
I think you’re done here. they’ve been mistaken.
they pored over the papers trying to solve your equation.
but the truth was not in math, it was in faith.
the divine does not divide, she permeates.
In the long dark night of eternal life shine on.
you’ve always been a light.
but I think you’re done here.
standing ovation.

Hostile Architecture
02:36
|
|||
came to in an abandoned house, nothing in its place.
how do the strangers watching know my name?
I look at everything I love and all I can think about is losing it.
a real “party’s over" atmosphere. you can’t go home but you can’t stay here.
there’s too many ghosts, not nearly enough spirit.
you hate to hear it. don’t you just hate to hear it? I know you hate to hear it.
I got a brand new skeleton. I’m dying to know what you think of it.
the essential cold of the architect. you gotta terrify what you wanna protect.
reject. take my hand, let me teach you about regret
all this pain inside. but all this pain can’t be mine
I’ll become the ones that I buried in the past.
I look in the mirror. is it a face? is it a mask?
what do you like better? I will wear it for you.
what do you know better? I’ll make it the truth
dismiss and deny. I’m a stray dog running wild
dismiss and deny. don’t break that smile
I wake up in an empty house again and again and again and again
how many times can I say I’m sorry?
I’m sorry, but what did I do wrong?
what did I do wrong? now that I am gone, what did I do wrong?

AWOL
02:10
|

the shape of your data’s got me astral projecting, but I think you and I we need to talk.
because the soul of the code your equipment had sent me? it might as well have been outlined in chalk.
I cannot decipher what all the static is but I got a pretty good read on your black thoughts.
the passion that makes me feel alive again. it’s gonna be the death. the death of us.
the space between us is like a crime scene with no blood and no fingerprints
you got the wrong man, I never crossed that line. A-W-O-L
I owe myself an apology. I hope that I mean it.
doubt it, right? yea so do I
take my word, I don’t want it. it ain't no good.
don’t just stand there and look at me come and give me your trash.
I want to feel your hot flash. I want to see your teeth gnash. I want to come in dead last
go down together, get drunk at the bottom and tell you some bullshit like “baby, our scars are the same.”
we are out of this world. because all good drugs go to heaven.

The Whip
02:30
|
|||
under the shadow of the whip we bask in the filth. its bliss.
under the shadow of the whip.
lovers they get to be fighters and fighters they get to be lovers
under the shadow of the whip we bask in the filth. its bliss.
under the shadow of the whip.
takers pretend to be givers and givers pretend to be takers.
never want. everything is yours.
we’re gluttons for punishment, letting who we are be known.
show yourself to see yourself.
how much madness will you learn to accept now?
guilt is just a way to cope. a power struggle for the powerless
we’re gluttons for punishment, letting who we are be known.
show yourself to see yourself.
how much madness will you learn to accept now?
guilt is just a way to cope. a power struggle where all that’s one is lost
under the whip there is freedom.
under the whip there is filth.
under the whip there is power.
under the whip there is guilt.
the cruelty of tenderness.
give all the power to people you count on and let them wipe you from the earth.
Fear is a fetish and I am a masochist
I’m not ashamed of my shame. now that I gave it a name.
I’m not ashamed of my shame. now that I know its name.

White Void
03:34
|

I got what I came for afterlives ago
but the fire kept me below.
you get what you pay for. trade it all for gold.
we run back into the cold.
I could change if you’d like, but I think you’d like nothing better.
hope is wasting our time when the waiting goes on forever.
I got what I came for afterlives ago but the fire kept me below.
when the warmth disappears the end just goes on forever.
we don’t have to stay here. we don’t have to live like this.
where the battles rage on like the weather
no one’s allowed to love what’s left of us burnouts.
bodies that carve no space, frozen in a fantasy
one without end. one without end.
by the time we saw the sun it had set.
by the time I saw the light I was dead.
you sing into the white abyss. the white abyss sings back to you.
you’re gonna miss me when I’m here. go ahead and miss me
I got what I came for afterlives ago.
but the fire kept me below.
you get what you pay for. trade it all for gold.
we run back into the cold.
I could change if you’d like, though I think we like suffering better.

Distress Rehearsal
03:13
|
|||
practice devastation.
play it all out in your mind.
feel the light as it hits your face
of the apocalypse streamlined. envision obliteration.
every last detail.
blast wind blows, breathe it in, let it go
a tragedy that’s so big it cannot fail.
I’ve done it so many times
I’ve got the future memorized.
I can feel the ache in their eyes
the mourning’s amplified
so imagine my surprise
I was not prepared for this no
I had not expected this so
I must try to cope with wasted
time killed by an agonizing lie
a hypothetical horror show
but now there’s beauty all around me
what’s happening?
now I’m left with all this lightness
now I’m left with all this lightness
left out here with all this lightness
left out here with all this grace
imagine my surprise.
I thought my heart would break
I thought it would break but it started healing,
It was more than I could take
so I gave it everything
I thought I’d never wake.
it got so dark that I started dreaming,
It was more than I could take
so I gave it all I had left.
I was not prepared for this no
I had expected this now
I must try to cherish all this time
lose your life and you will find it waiting in her merciful eyes
all sins absolved
and they will never look back
master without his master plan.

the way it should be is all ways
I’ll accept yours always
punished and pure, wait and serve I got a devil inside.
6669
there’s nowhere to hide.
four three two one hundred and twenty more nights
of suffering with delight
separate from all time where I can finally take what’s mine.
I was tied up in chains until I gave up trying to escape.
now I’m dressed up in lace and I am having a day. a very beautiful day.
I got a lover inside.
6669
there’s nothing to hide
dig in your heel, and let the temperature rise.
and in the moment that it breaks you, come alive
I need a Venus in fur. come be my Venus in fur
all ways except yours. always accept yours.
I’m somebody else. thats the way it should be. bite a little harder, so I can breathe.
I’m on my knees. I await the chains. servant

People Verses
03:33
|
|||
with enough pressure and momentum we become perfect circles, burning brighter than the sun.
there’s no darkness dragging us down.
no black clouds blocking us out.
when sadistic kings are bored with gold, know your worth or you will never get it back.
your fight is now.
the well behaved hold the graves. All we need to thrive is something we already have.
us.
and our gravity will pull us into gods.
they stop at faith, but faith is exactly where we start.
what we fail to do defines who we are
righteous anger sprung from love is not the same as the fury of a cornered rat
your fight is now.
the well behaved fill the graves. all we need to thrive is something they can never have. us.
compassion only conquers if we riot like it won’t.
if we rage like it ain’t written in the stars or in the stones.
our gravity will pull us into gods. our gravity will pull us into gods of our own
an unstoppable force.
with bad faith, you can’t pray. but you can bend the knee
with bad faith, you can’t pray. but you can kiss the ring
never trust a man. never trust a man. never trust a man who... nahh, leave it at that
don’t believe a man. don’t believe a man. don’t believe a man who...
nahh, leave it at that his world isn’t long for this world.
never trust a man. never trust a man. never trust a man who... no we will end it at that fight fair and die
there’s more to life than anyone allows you
and yesterday does not know who we are.
when it’s all been broken- and it’s all been broken- I’m not allowing anyone
who’s not allowing everyone this far.

We Go Together
05:02
|
|||
I’m starting to get the impression that I’m the only one alive.
and everything’s a projection that goes away when I close my eyes.
considering all the destruction and all the drugs that I have tried,
I just find it a little strange that I haven’t died.
I will live forever, unless I dream up something better.
I am the mother. I am the daughter. I am the body. dead in the water.
all points are the center in a space thats never-ending.
all of the terrible things my love has done to you.
who would you be without it?
all of the heartaches and the hells that I have put you through?
I’d do it all again
shut up and suffer, there’s no other way to exist.
This is what you deserve if its all that you’ve got.
sit in the fire. find out if you’re made of flesh
loss always wins. don’t take it to mean that you’re not exactly where you belong thank me for it.
perfection is a reminder we’re flawed.
never enough.
I can’t get out. I encompass all things.
we have to go together. when we go we go together.
I take all of us.
it’s all a part of me.
I find it a little strange that I haven’t died.
