Thirty-something Horror High
Neolithic decomposition
Judging others you don't even know
Failures preaching opposition
Give up, give in, give away
Slit your wrists
Nonchalantly ostracizing
Gothic dance-hall inquisition
Blindly follow where others went
Culture changing into religion
Give up, give in, give away
Kill yourself

I love to walk among the flowers
I love to sit among the stones
Gray crosses placed above the arches
Blue crystal panes adorn my home
Now I see you at the alter
Wish I'd never left you there
In the silent snow of winter
We used to walk together here
Our love would never last forever
Embers lanced these Oconee Hills
Wish I had never pulled the trigger
Wish I had never left you crying
Confined to a lonesome world of shadows
Wish I had never left you there

Murky prescience in your eyes
Betroth to ruin, hope to die
Locked in a dead soul
Heading for a free fall
Smash cold waves below the ridge
Slipping on stones bash the rock walls
Its starting again
Drops of rain scald my skin
See me through to the other side
Flay my love nothing to confide
Prelude pray to misconstrue
Turning over in your mind
Forge me into something new
Cover my tracks no love can find
Blackened blue sky closing in
Shimmer light stars, so divine
Feel no mirth when I hold your hand
Broken locks are my enemy
Lock your doors I'll slither inside
I'll cry again
Forge my love I have nothing to disguise
Look beyond this field of mud
Footsteps in soil mixed with our blood
Susurrous voice behind
Bow my head, pray to the unkind

Evening coastline beckons me
Weigh the confines of the seven seas
A final sleep, deface tomorrow
Wade to the deep, soften the deathblow
Saline air ambience, descend in the dark
Solitude transience, herein disembark
Insensible movements, black water burns
Erie obeisance, slow motion roil
Squalid memories, deepening blue
Release of agony, here waiting for you

Lost Girls
03:10
|

Splintered eyes to paralyze
In the moonlight, we have insight
Some hearts are old, our hearts are cold
Black as night, we burn in sunlight
Lost Girls
Lack no agency
Walkin down your street
Show no hostility
Dress so morbidly
Crack the locks on the box
Don’t be misled, we date the dead
No time for hate, break the gate
Fuck with us? We decimate!
Chorus

I feel your anger, now look inside
I feel no anger, never confide
Set ourselves afire
Wear our new fashion
Smoke stings our eyes
Let's dazzle the sun!
I feel no anger, stand in the tide
I sense your fervor, anchor denied
I feel your languor, no meaning implied
Broken mirrors, now look outside
Roads lead to nowhere
Ride like the wind
Roads lined with red falls
Hearts rot in the sun!
Set ourselves afire
Wear our new fashion
Smoke stings our eyes
Let's dazzle the sun!

White trash cop still walkin free
On a killin spree
A wary demon stirs inside of me
Rage inside
Black and blue boys kill again
Panteleo!
You fucking racist bastard
He can’t breath!
He can’t breath!
Subjugate, suffocate
Close your eyes never look away
Resuscitate, obliterate
Close your eyes never look away
Another victim falling down
They did no wrong
Serial killers wearing black and blue
Gun pointed at you
Fifty casings on the ground
Legalized murder!!!
Another white cop walkin free
Fuck the police
All Cops Are Bastards
All Cats Are Beautiful

All for Nothing

Infidels from the West, nobody will miss
Machine guns loaded, cracking bronze fire bliss
Death to devils, not of our kind
Hatred to lure, delusions of mind
I’ll die for my God
You’ll die for my God
We’ll die for our God
Yaweh be damned
Wind blown deserts make perfect graves
Sand drifts quickly, hiding your face
Pleads of mercy with every breath
No soul in sight to witness your death
Rope tied tight, pressure applied
Terror screaming loudly, leaks from your eyes
Drawn and quartered, blood soaks the ground
Intestines pulled from your lifeless mound
Chorus

Memories

I died twenty years ago, or was it a wish
I had nothing to live for, no Valentine bliss
In utter despair you called out my name
Walking outside in the pouring rain
Standing alone in the pouring rain
You left me here to die
I left you there to die
I left you there to die
You left me here to die
I hate you
I miss you
I hate you
I wish you were dead
We worshipped each, other in nightmarish scenes
with no happy endings, like all of my dreams
Careless persuasion, my love did soon wane
I stood in despair, drenched in cold rain
You stood in despair drenched in cold rain
You left me here to die
You left me here to die
I left you there to die
I left you there to die
I hate you
I miss you
I hate you
Get out of my head!!!

Is this our exaltation
Heart skips to think of you
Another year in deviation
Pull the quilt and fade to blue
Débarrasser le plancher!
Is this our revelation
The leaves are dying too
Frigid air, no absolution
Nothing left here to pursue
Pedant!
Is this our devastation
Swiping screens in this black milieu
Listless living, memoir in motion
Another day calls death unto

Listen to the wind outside, ash and forests coming down
Streets buried in mud, there's no one around
Look at my watch in the dead of the night
Still says 4:35... No, that can't be right
Take a sip from my last bottle of gin
Network is down and there's one shell left
Tungsten slugs fall from the sky, the stars are black now
Last bottle of oxygen is low, it's almost time now

Bottle

I sat there in the forest
I slept there in the dark
I woke up feeling chilly
I couldn't make a spark
This bottle in my hand
Wants to fly so far
So it can share its anger
With the golden czar
I wanna take a drive
I wanna see them all
I wanna drive all night
I wanna see them fall
I wanna speak my mind
I want them to return
I don't want them to listen
I want to see them burn

A setting day a way to find
a moment's peace for my weary mind
A fleeting thought in film exposed
Celluloid burns skin superimposed
Awaken to a world shrouded in lies
Sunday morning blues, masses euthanized
Church bells ring, stained windows lie broken
Daggers withdrawn, don't follow the reverent
Don't follow the reverent
Try and try to understand
why the blood of the lord
fuels bigots and men
Time after time I look up and wonder
Are we living in hell
Pain, death here forever
We've burned this bridge a thousand times
Stepping lightly in a field of mines
Path we've walked fill me with sorrow
No love in my heart no hope for tomorrow
No hope for tomorrow

Seem to know, seem to hope
Seem to say, love will betray
Frozen gaze, want to hope
Need to say, your heart will break
Speak to me, share what's inside
Leak for me, frail souls collide
Tied up in knots, luckless surprise
Adulation, a curse in disguise
Memories rise like a spark from the flame
Our fingers smarting while we speak it again
Secluded in dusk like sin from a saint
Treasures conveyed, treasures to shame

Look up tonight
see time dissolve
Cold and biting winds of change
pushing ever closer to the edge
Burning worlds collapse
holes black like our sun
Tell yourself "there's no beginning,"
and chase the fear of your dreaded end
One more heart the priest devours
sleep in sickness, nothing is ours
Tell yourself "there's no beginning,"
and chase the fear of your dreaded end
Constant pressure rip your ties
hold my hand while I remove your eyes
There's no end in sight
savored lies devolve
Nothing matters anymore
i felt the world and i want none
Stabbing madly on my chest
i want this life to end
Whats the use in burning ears
I'll drag you to the gates of hell
Revel in fatality
and leave behind your rotting shell
Tell yourself "there's no beginning,"
and chase the fear of your dreaded end
One more heart the dark devours
sleep in sickness, nothing is ours
Tell me how "there's no beginning,"
and tell me of your dreaded end
gunshot echoes down the hall
splatter red madness sliding down the wall
But know that they can never own you
hatred grows with tumorous swell
Rise above their ill intentions
sleeping men drink from poisoned wells
Hear them now;
screaming distant pleads
A thousand shards of looking glass
Falling like the Purest snow
On a cold December's night
You fade into nothing.
Sleeping now with tortured grimace,
final words come to rest
A gentle smile takes their place
fading fast in a serpents nest
Fall prey to strange hypnosis;
sickly odor fills the air
Gaze into your emptiness
into your lifeless shell
Fleeting thoughts drift away
you're moving closer still
No question is left unanswered
bottomless wells are never filled
Tell yourself "there's no beginning,"
and chase the fear of your dreaded end
One more heart the priest devours
sleep in sickness, nothing is ours
A thin line,
glistening crimson line
Reaching
for new understanding
Look up tonight
See time dissolve
