Blastocyst 05:46
As profane as I am righteous Dead man's line around his neck Right the wrongs till no wrongs are left Walk with shotgun Ghost of a Leo ♌ I have a statement But there's a tickle in my throat (I need water) I'm a vigilante It's they who have wronged me Blood will spill It is the banks who are the enemy I'm just trying to right the wrongs with wrongs Drag you along, drive awhile To an apartment rigged with bombs I've got to right the wrongs with wrongs And it's building It's boiling It's frothing with rage from within It has built over time These relentless bricks of anger And the mortar is my vengeance And it's built on a foundation of guilt Because I've got to right the wrongs Pile high the documents I know I signed the dotted line These men are a barrel of snakes And that's why I've jumped the gun ("A man climbs down a hole himself And anybody can be lied to" -Tony Kiritsis) Too useless to be cursed For I am the curse itself The misanthrope says To the apothecary Gift horse looks in its own mouth Spake in his tongues of glory You'll never pass this way again And I look forward to your wreckage Let's put this on the record: Greed corrupts the mind From time immemoriam From that I've been cheated And my livelihood dissolved A gross misconduct Of justice on their part That's why I got to Right the wrongs with wrongs To find the cobra in the aqueduct He buries leeches inside my skin I've got to reach for the quill to sign While I profusely bleed green blood again Through an amazing maze of maize Sounds corny but I got lost While in the thick of it all I had to hide my cough So as not to be detected Shadow of my former self Should've set the whole field ablaze Then maybe I would've got some help Looking through these misty eyes I can see I failed to see Crows sing somber, my requiem While there's a hole in the sky

She shined in white phosphorus Under a pall of damage done Broke crowds of their sequences Hands under teeth biting tongues Through her words she shall make war Her incendiary fires promised us light Twas her reign that kept us enraged Hence, Suffocating, any spark of an uprising I crawl I crawl back into her fires I crawled To carry her flames Amidst it all My body went to a calcine numbness Did you solve my love? Could you dissolve my love? Nerve endings shriek in desire In desire From the 3rd degree burns of your touch This must be Inferno Because you sure feel like Hell to me You sure feel like Hell to me I wish you were my candle I just wanna feel your flame once more I wanna feel your justice I wanna be weighed by your scales I wanna be the eyes behind the blindfold Promises were meant to be broken Do you know if it was a promise or not? I saw your gallery of ancient nooses Do I need to be afraid? Or knot? She got carried away with the horses Intrigued by the noises they made With their arms tied to two mares Intrigued by the noises they made With their limbs torn from their sockets She got carried away Put an olive in my Molotov cocktail As she walked back into her fires She said the pain I felt was real She walked back into the flames I weep, I weep and weep and weep Into her scorching fires I weep

Worms 06:39
O can there be value found In this nonsense? On that night in question I knew it would work "A bird crashed in to fine polished glass" Looking for shelter Imaginary home Protect the eggs Wings spiral down Desperate fall Felt so intrusive On that night Searching remains For cameras A piece of me destroyed By a conspiracy A tongue-in-cheek theory I belly laugh in retrospect They must be a lie On us they spy Take a look inside What's making them fly? There must be some kind of energy source In the powerlines above There must be something in those seeds They keep coming back for more Winged bastards in the sky Spying on you and I When will we be free? We can't congregate, the birds will see What's in the worms they eat? Are they the source for their surveillance? "I can no longer look around Even the skies enslaves me Where are they nesting? Where are their eggs? You never see baby pigeons I spy as they spy Bird watching goes both ways Eyes like lenses Bird watching goes both ways Bird watching goes both ways" "I have to stay inside so they don't see me Be careful not to eat their meat For that is how they track me Device installed in the poultry I am nourished yet I feel I'm being watched Something has run a fowl" I smell a rat Or in this instance I smell a sparrow I see the crows I hear 'em squawking From the trees I see them watching "Bird watching goes both ways..." There was value found in this nonsense On that night in question... well...

Psalm VI 08:12
Cross your fingers Discard your harps Cast us down from Glory Down here we run amok So the serviam say But we are non serviam Our treasonous hearts go on display Yet your the cause Of all this Mercy withers Why is this my only will? To taste once more The flowing Streams of juices To drink again would be extreme Cauterize stigmata wounds I don't want to feel this way Keep your sainthood, I'm not a martyr Take the relics and throw 'em away Gouge my eyes Cut out my tongue A refusal to speak Nor do I want to see This travesty Before me Starts unwinding Nothing but ashes in the wake Of your ego's quake Goddamn you Forgiveness quivers Likes flies to feces You circle the lies The truth you seek Abandoned Is all reason You stalked the wrong pile of manure "Before I set you free I must let you know That you're a nuisance" Please, please set me free From the rope 'round my throat The lesser I feel the more I choke Once you escape from the gallows It becomes a pain in the neck Scars of a botched execution Can be the hardest to hide When you're hanging the wrong man Be sure that you do it right! No grave was dug I was left to swing How you lied Then you lied In that bed that you made No more lies No more lies Think what truth would have gave How you lied How you lied And with no alibi "The angel of death took mercy on me"

Delusions 06:50
I am the buffoon Somber, I ride out this pest Bleak, it all feels like a show Unworthy you are to receive This mule has no kick left in it Delusions of sunshine set in No prayers can be answered Nothing is listening A clock that drives the sane To put the knife across the vein The smallest of liars Tell the tallest of tales The deafest of mothers Raise the loudest of children Wild, her eyes were grey Skin like frozen razorblades I shivered in her embrace Better angels began to warn me Model citizen in the pillory on the square Still we are blind by the injustice For those who've lost something For those who've thrown in the towel For those who've thrown roses... O it becomes a torrent of lies Marked by owls choking on mice Care not to reach for the mistake It is the hour for which we hath made Down to the bottom we sink Swirling, twisting to the fathoms we sink Swirling, twisting Down like a sinking body Coordinate with slaking devils Approach with a new façade Catch me in a backwards fall Void of a new align A thief in me rejects it all But the jester sees the joke He can see the punchline way ahead Whilst I'm riddled by the meaning If nothing separated us It would be my wish To dream no more forever This will be my wish Our flesh touches no more This was not my wish In dreams I mask my sadness Perchance to wish Without knowing, I dug my own grave Without knowing, I buried myself I dug my own grave to bury myself With a perchance to dream With a purchase of a dream I instead invested in a nightmare Perchance to dream Our flesh touches no more I'm in a nightmare Perchance to dream Locked in a nightmare Lucid though awareness lacks Lost in a nightmare Cold sweats while in this nightmare Flesh warms no more Perchance to dream

Two Fly 05:31
Devil plays His tricks again The Acts he poses so malicious Diabolical feats of jest Or Pseudobulbar effect Transition from the ruler to the ruled From the King to the Fool Foolishly you traded The crown for the crowd The kingdom for the stage Those robes of gold For the rancor of a cantor Drowning in syllables Of every stance and phrase Whilst shamelessly sweating Collapsing into those words Meanings become meaningless In the ears of the frivolous And two flies dance in tandem Around in circles Flies on the wall of my skull A forensic fly for this death My eyes house its larvae Every cavity for its family Thrives in the metropolis That is my decaying body Ghosts live through the act Of reasons the sun hath set By this time tomorrow I will have perished and left time Don't let my words die as well Let them be a memory Transitioned from the ruler to the ruled From the King to the Fool Foolishly you traded The crown for the crowd The kingdom for the stage Those robes of gold For the rancor of a cantor

Boötes Void 06:02
Where are your gods? Where are they? Where are they now? I cannot see them Nor can I hear their voices Never play Russian roulette With faith and belief Animal scratching till the claws go dull An ego burning is null Get that through the hole in your skull Where those flies continue to dance Where you lost it I have found it Buried beneath the hero's floor What where those words? What where they? Recite them now I will not read them Nor will I sound them out I'd rather dictate your tombstone Than write my obituary The monuments The decadence The quiet wars The choired chants The overgrowing grievances The broken toys The silent tears The scars they left The violent years The time they took a thousand breaths Concoctions hypnotic and staved Vehemently contest this plague Feast on your laurels, charade And belong to your rites Thwart the landmine Pass an amputee, complex Suffer paradigm shift Under gasoline objects Surprise the syndrome Count the echoes Don't even wanna hear your bullshit Count the difference Bury the witness I see the jealous obelisk Vapor neutered Daemon excluded From the Santeria, passing smoke O all those psychic vampires They treat your mind like Transylvania Watchout! For their metaphorical bite The night we died there were crows Perched on all the grave stones Moon illuminating the precise spot Where the murder took place Mother Superior, Stop the black coffins! And what a strange echo it was An interesting cause and effect My eardrums are still recovering From the shrieking shrills of silence Now I'm a ghost of my former self Hidden away in the cracks of these walls Buried in the dust, forgotten even in name
