Run…. (I wanna fuck I wanna fuck) I wanna fuckin honestly Her guts are sliding around me And I can’t contain it now I wanna bend it ‘til it breaks I wanna bend it ‘til it bleeds I smell her fear as she tries to escape me My bloody fingers wrap around her neck now I hear my own voice begging her for my sweet release I’m getting back to the base of our nature A psychosexual need underlying Decisions decided before we could count time And now you’re mine Pour the bleach into your throat What do you mean to me now anyway? I’d rather be hunting you down Whoever shows up for you now will be too late Too late Run…. The chase consumes My vision turns a crimson hue Her scent is tantalizing in the twilight Ill hunt you down like the beasts we are and bend you to my will I’m following the trail you left for me I’m breathing in your pheromones and screams Subliminal animalistic intent to kill and fuck and feed Pour the bleach into your throat What do you mean to me now anyway? I’d rather be hunting you down Whoever could come for you now would be too late Too late Run…. I wanna fuckin honestly Her guts are sliding around me And I can’t contain it now I wanna bend it til she breaks I wanna bend it til she bleeds The freshly turned up dirt is so inviting Her skin, a blanket, so entombs The maggots dancing in and out of all the other open wounds Pour the bleach into your throat What do you mean to me now anyway? I’d rather be hunting you down Whoever shows up for you now will be too late She shivers as she digs a shallow trench My dear there will be no Trace Evidence I wanna fuckin honestly I wanna bend it til it bleeds I wanna bend it til it breaks I wanna fuckin honestly I wanna bend it til it bleeds I wanna bend it til it breaks I wanna bend it till it I wanna bend it til it-

Surprise, Motherfucker! 05:36
lyrics

Blind, Fed Just take their word And eat these stones til your teeth are broken Wipe that smile Off your face (You're rotting) Rotting, teething On your way You should pick up a gun To spite your fucking face Break glass in your way (The pushers) Pushers shove you past that fork The path you've chosen isn't yours Either fucking way Way underneath the burns You'll know what it means to peel You'll know how gasoline feels Igniting your unclean brain Your face Your eyes they seem surprised SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKER! Is it Because I see your lies YOUR LIES MOTHERFUCKER! The strength It takes to be a stone A STONE MOTHERFUCKER Much less It takes to bash your face You're dead motherfucker. You pushed me past the breaking point You pushed me past the breaking point You tripped me at the stumbling block I left you at the breaking point You're blind, they fed You took their word And ate those stones til your life was broken Wiped that smile Off your face (The butchers) The butchers shoved you past that fork The life you've chosen isn't yours Either way Underneath the burns You'll know what it means to peel You'll know how gasoline feels Igniting your unclean brain

Apocrypha 05:35
lyrics

Apocrypha Running in concentric circles He feels the disconnect From all feelings benign A ritual takes course A balance has to be maintained in consumption of Addiction to a state of denial Cross your fingers And hope it only hurts for a Second chances never are really second chances no So where do you draw the line (stretched out in the dust and the grime) Between whats yours and whats mine (blurred by the waves, lost in time) The elimination of human error Is fulfilled when all that is human ceases to be When hope is gone, you must You must protect it So pull that gun out and turn it on me You have forgotten the face of your father Today he pulled the thread that unraveled the universe The fabric in decay cannot hold together Against the back stitches of superstition and greed Today he pulled the thread that dropped the curtains Cross your fingers And hope it only hurts for a Second chances never were really second chances no So where do you draw the line (stretched out in the dust and the grime) Between whats yours and whats mine (blurred by the waves, lost in time) The elimination of human error Is fulfilled when all that is human ceases to be When hope is gone, you must You must protect it So pull that fucking gun and turn it on me You have forgotten the face of your father Cross your fingers And hope it only hurts for a Second chances never are really second chances no The elimination of human error Is fulfilled when all that is human ceases to be When hope is gone, you must You must protect it So pull your fucking gun and Put it through the (Put it through your) Motherfuckin screen! Put it through the screen Put it through your screen….

Dark Matter 04:21
lyrics
buy track
The ancient ones reach out to us From the dark spaces between our dreams And they crawl into all Wrap around and pull us out further into entropy The unknown beckons me into her empty arms The earth behind nothing more than a charm This light has yet to reach our infant eyes The carnage of the universe unfolds before us Aeons old And we are all alone These ghosts of long lost nebulas will outlive us all And yet we too will be engulfed Our energy collides and we are reborn Dark Matter cut through that part of me Wishes I could drive this ship into the sun If I was in control of my destiny I'd be the heart of a star where we all begun Dark Matter cut through the heart of me Wishes I could drive this ship into the sun If I was in control of my destiny I'd be the heart of a star where we all begun Starlight fading Don't be afraid Its only infinity
