Pay me and the burden goes away
a taste of silver will keep the monsters at bay
and it's sure to call and it's sure to feel
as villains point and smiles are enemies
Just let me crawl
just let me breed
You'll feed every time I need
you'll water your paunch with what drips from me
it's a trickle down trickle disease
that's been going around, around for centuries
Just let me crawl
just let me breed
Lay me down
these curtains fall
I need to crown
I need to crawl
I lay my head unto you and rest
I lay my head unto you...

Temples
03:01

Loan me tonight to pay
the debt my father made
temples are built to bring
this holy vagrancy
let loose the tongue
sermons spun in spades
and mine is the gold
displayed, exchanged
while my head's in the shade
Kneeling and conjuring
new flesh from ash and grain
choking on revelries
fucking to find a name
let loose the tongue
sermons spun in spades
and mine is the gold
displayed, exchanged
while my head's in the shade
cut me open
remove the curtain...

Lanterns
02:39
|
|||
|
Let me illuminate
your breast and your bone
patch your sores up with coldness and shame
swaddle you with shadows
it serves me right, poor I
I must serve you right
and lead you down into night
lead you down into...
Fingers lead the way, I
grin and salivate, I
suffer to unlock the gate, oh
only to grasp and retreat
it serves me right, poor I
I must serve you right
and lead you down into night
lead you down into...
Now you see
your new world
of gnashing teeth
...I will devour you

Gluttony
03:43
|

|
Peel the skin and let it run
let it pour, let it roam
feel the fat as it clots the gums
the eyes and bone
mosquito friends, suck the poisons, suck them dry
suck them away I want to give them to you now
mosquito friends, whatever poisons are within
suck them away
or it's hate
that will roam here
feeding on you
hate
that will roam here
feeding on you
hate that will roam
settle down, accept aplomb
revelations in the moan
call it a stance, call it a home
I'll call it a tomb
mosquito friends, suck the poisons, suck them dry
suck them away I want to give them to you now
mosquito friends, whatever poisons are within, suck them away
or it's hate
that will roam here
feeding on you
hate
that will roam here
feeding on you
hate that will roam

The Ease of Absurdity
03:29
|

|
You've played your hand
now it's time to suffer
the consequence
of my disaster
tra la la la la
I'll cut you first
ha ha
my hearts win out

Deserts

Hey...
over and over and over again
you get amazed by the things that you do
over and over and over again
you get amazed
so filter through this ash with me
light the ends of eternity
wash your mouth with gasoline and grind
your tongue's a fuse when it's free
she says all the time

The Wild
05:02

Let me in
into you
so I may lay
above your hooves, not
a body in reddened sand
twixt wanton quilts with rat'ling hands
Let me claw
into you
don't leave me here
between the sun
and your mood
blood soaked
on this blanket of drugs
choking on your hair
a mattress of bruises
to rest my headache
suffocate my ears
Don't release my soul
and I'll let you have it all
I promise I'll behave
just hold on
If you feel me fight
don't pull away, just hold on
if I scream my song
don't pull away, just hold on
like a vulture tearing at the bone
just hold on
don't release me here
If you let go
confine my parts and hang
me with the salted meat, the cockerel wings
heed me this succoring
of nourishing the passing flies
or let me in
into you
devour me
and I will ease
your blood and soothe
the roiling flood
beneath your crackled jaw
wear your collection of knuckles around my neck
and let the poisons
wither, outstretched
on your fingertips
Don't release my soul
and I'll let you have it all
I promise I'll behave
just hold on...
if you feel me fight, don't pull away
just hold on
if I scream my song, don't pull away
just hold on
like a vulture tearing at the bones
just hold on
don't release me here...
getting so cold
my body is getting old
a thousand chemicals
spring from my lungs and entwine with my tendrils, creeping
loose from the depths of a vision I once called home
the demons I raised in my fire now freely roam here...

Circus Mind

Color blue
gut it out
circus mind
all the time...
Lazy day, a body unfolds
cold mercury is chasing the gold
all this alchemy is making me old
while my flesh gets pieced
between your mouth and your bowl
here, taste the whine
oh no, no time
oh no, no time
gut me out
feast away
Pardon me, I've lost my way
across this scenic table display
while your fingers pull
and your knuckles knead
maybe I'll rise
yeah, I'll rise to your teeth
here, taste the whine
oh no, no time
oh no, no time
gut me out
feast away

Daughters of Melpomene
03:44
|
|||
|
Hold my hand through a breeze
that whispers tales of old
where no man, nor disease
can overtake your body's control
and all your will
and all your needs
in the embrace of a song
fall asleep in my truth
rest your weary meat in my calm
float away
all is yours, all is home
all the sands that are twisting in time
make an island in the foam
to a keep where you soul can reside
and I believe, let's believe
there's no other way to lie
eternity in a word
in a world borne in the mind
float away
come to me...

What rises in the west
but a flood of red on the wind...
Bathe in the skin,
in the breath of the innocent,
and burn your surroundings
clumsily remove your jewelry
cast off your clothes and your beliefs
and spurn all the voices...
no, I
won't cry this time
I'll keep my cool
no, I
won't die this time
I'll live the fool
face the blood
eat the flood
furiously
bare your teeth
and howl
let it out
no, I
won't cry this time
I'll keep my cool
no, I
won't die this time
I'll live the fool
