Blurred Visions
03:17
|

I don’t care what you’ve heard
Our herd can not be stirred
Blurred visions, speech is slurred
From up here we can see it all
I’d like to stay and watch it fall
I don’t care what they said
Like me you’ll end up dead
Blurred visions in my head
Not like I need a crystal ball
Oblivion’s sweet peculiar call
Paint onto the turpentine
Swallowing up the borderline - what then?
Good and evil redefined
Everybody’s got to see the signs - again
I don’t know what to do
I’m on the hunt with you
For logic, something true
But I can see a fireball
We will be waiting for your call
I don’t know what you see
Or what you want to be
This harsh reality
Will turn your walk into a crawl
We weren’t prepared for this at all

Paranoiacs
03:18
|

How does it feel to walk around like that?
Cut me some slack until my house stops burning
No use in crying over milk turned black
When your stuck in the sap and sinking...
Bottle of whiskey and a baseball bat
Paranoiacs are closing in around me
Oil me up and slip me through the cracks
And I’ll never come back until the shitshow’s done
Try for a million years or two
Try all the time
Try for a million years, you’ll never get it right
How does it feel to walk around like that?
Mourning the dead while you dissolve the carcass
I’m not a panther I’m a pussycat
But I’ll claw my way back into the wild wild wild wild…
They told me to write down all my dreams at night
Pick out the voices in a crowd subconscious
Try as I might to read the archetypes
They’re utterly nonsensical

Saint Vitus
04:12
|
|||
Why can’t the beggars choose, like the finders keep
they ain’t losing sleep, while the losers weep
It seems what you sow ain’t what you reap
but the debts get deep, and the missions creep
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
Delirium just kicked in
A demented epidemic
Starting to believe that I might get it
If the morning comes tomorrow
I’m going to the lake to drown my sorrows
Now I walk the streets in a psychic haze
Since we parted ways
I’ve been up for days
Til I climbed the wall of wisteria
To the other side
Of hysteria
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
Saint Vitus, kick my door in
Shooting mermaids in a barrel
Wisdom of a crowd that’s turning feral
Power trips and power surges
Power over all my filthy urges
A demented epidemic
Starting to believe that I might get it
If the morning comes tomorrow
I’m going to the lake to drown my sorrows

Rats
03:31
|
|||
I had a nightmare that the waking dream was over
The wheels falling off the best laid plans of rats’ and men’s divinity
Both alike in indignity
I hear the cheerleaders of drudgery and boredom
A trumpet fanfare for the humdrum and the tedium that waits for me
Dullness in perpetuity
I’ll still be marching when the fantasy is over
You’ll hear me moaning as I get off on the suction of futility
Surrender to vulgarity
It’s ecstasy
Descent into barbarity
|

Withdrawn to escape distraction,
break this ball and chain reaction
Now I’m up, other times I wallow
Inside out, naked souls get swallowed
Staring into space
Dirty and debased
Laughing with the creatures at night
Driving from the south
Foaming at the mouth
This’ll make me sick in the daylight
This close to the edge of reason
At the end of the suicide season
Saw a lamb running from the slaughter
Let’s pretend that they never caught her
I never asked to be a son or a daughter
I stick around for the sound of rushing water
Stare at the ceiling with my ego racing late at night
Same kind of thoughts make me sick in the daylight
Staring into space
Dirty and debased
Laughing with the creatures at night
Driving from the south
Foaming at the mouth
This’ll make me sick in the daylight
Feeling out of whack
One more heart attack
Staring at the ceiling at night
Trying to ignore
My character flaw
The one that makes me sick in the daylight

Someone should have listened to what everybody said
If only just to ease the contradictions in my head
Mesmerised
No sooner born than died
Things get bleaker by the hour
Innocence recoils at the mess that we have made
Frightful in the sunlight, you should see us in the shade
Magnified
One hundred thousand times
Things are turning rather sour
With our shadows cut loose
Pray we don’t reproduce
As we sit and watch everything going wrong
Tell me how I’m meant to feel
With your neck in the noose
You’ll be quick to seduce
And you’ll never understand what’s going on
Never even know what’s real
Dusty books have told me what’s satanic, what’s divine
There’s no way of telling what’s malignant or benign
Way up high
Our king lives in the sky
In a tacky golden tower
With our shadows cut loose
Pray we don’t reproduce
As we sit and watch everything going wrong
Tell me how I’m meant to feel
Blind ambition in the land of the cruel
I am rotten to my last molecule
And I’ll never understand what’s going on
Never even know what’s real

Suck My Mind
03:18
|
|||
Yesterday the horror came and
Kissed me with tongues
Gave him permission
to breathe in through my lungs
He sucked my mind
There’s not much left behind
Here on the bleeding edge our
Brains coalesce
Dull information
flows out of us like piss
Oh suck my mind
God knows what you will find
I can’t say reality
Is something I’ll miss
One margarita, then into the abyss
Now suck my mind
Existence redesigned
I never want to be a
I never want to be a
I never want to be a
I never want to be alone
Lone wolf crying please forgive my little rampage
A whole world sighing please forgive us for it all
False flags flying as they cultivate my burning rage
With pitchforks vying for the blood that keeps us rolling on
I never asked for anything, well...
Anything but this
I wanna wipe my memory cause ignorance is bliss
So “suck my mind”
Say I the undersigned

Uncanny Valley
04:05
|
|||
My amygdalae say fight or flight again
I’ve felt worse, I just don’t know when
Even if they’re polite then they don’t get pally
‘Cause I live in the uncanny valley
Oh yeah, it’s my fault cause I’m a whore
Destined to be red in tooth and claw
You don’t look twice, and you don’t dilly dally
When ya live in the uncanny valley
I feel the sting of an eye
You look but you don’t know why
I gave up control
Still stuck in a hole - that’s my home
Where I belong, in the uncanny valley
With the dregs of compassion lobotomised
For existence unjustified
So I fell a few rungs on the social ladder
Things are bad but they could be badder
So you fetishise what you dare not be
What a surprise that the world can’t see
I live with my sisters down a dark trash alley
Somewhere deep in the uncanny valley
I feel the sting of an eye
You look but you don’t know why
I never asked for your eye
You shrug, I go home and cry
I gave up control
Still stuck in a hole - that’s my home
Where I belong, in the uncanny valley
Pecking like a carrion crow
Pulling at my inside’s shadow
Twisted but I won’t let that show
Feel the pressure build then let it blow

Brother Connor
01:55
|
|||
We’ve got a brother and we call him the flag man
He’ll never stop until he’s in a body bag man
Rushing back to Russia
The flag is in place
It’s not a crime but it’s in poor taste
Brother Connor, I wish you were more like
Brother Connor, exposed to the core
But not a goner
He breaks into tombs just like I wanna
Don’t wanna be bored
Got a skeleton key for Fukushima
Brother Connor! Brother Connor!
You can rely on a deus ex machina
Brother Connor! Brother Connor!
Banged him up in turkey
Not yet a dead duck
Playing chicken with the pigs
doesn’t give a flying fuck
Brother Connor, I wish you were more like
Brother Connor, exposed to the core
But not a goner
He breaks into tombs just like I wanna
Don’t wanna be bored

Slag Heap Deity 1
03:08
|

I wanna be
A slag heap deity
The trinity
Has not done much for me
Just let me be
Your twisted fantasy
And we could be a mess together
We try our best, we are unsuccessful
Our hearts get filled with regret and cholesterol
Then we all just die
Our fate is grim but we’re not ungrateful
Our faces grin but our hearts are hateful
Now we all must die
Reality
You push relentlessly
Modernity
Just does not let me be
Your piety
Does not do much for me
But we could be a mess together

Slag Heap Deity 2
02:31
|
|||
Our lives were short and our jobs were stressful
Our hearts got filled with regret and cholesterol
Then we all just died
Our blood was blue and our words distasteful
Our thoughts were sick and our deeds disgraceful
Then we all just died
Our minds were quick and our moods unstable
We took our seats at the master’s table
Then we all just died
