Pride – is an abomination Life – is full of degredation Cry – if you want a demonstration Why – do we all lack elevation This world’s full of reasons just to slit your fucking wrist Before your best friend puts a knife in your back with a twist My heart’s full of places too fuckin’ dirty to clean My once anointed angel’s feathers turn into black wings Try – and kill the complication And Die – without a celebration So Lie – to avoid confrontation And Try – to elude the accusation This world’s full of reasons just to slit your fucking wrist Before your best friend puts a knife in your back with a twist My heart’s full of places too fuckin’ dirty to clean My once anointed angel’s feathers turn into black wings Privy to the prophecy, centurion down on his knees So baffled by the honesty that quickly ends the odyssey The time has come to fill the air with words that bring about despair Let no one ever see him there crying out with his nightmare Pride – is an abomination Life – is full of degredation Cry – if you want a demonstration Why – do we all lack elevation?

Trade freedom for a gilded cage Trade sorrow for well paid rage Give hours for a pot of gold Dead head for alive and cold Everything escapes me Luna whips and rapes me All the light I’ve shunned Must I kill the sun? Black and white with green Suck my victims clean Be sure he has no help I just killed myself Forsake love for a peace of mind Destroy kindness, or kill in kind Disconnect from all I once held Pretend I have a soul to sell Everything escapes me Luna whips and rapes me All the light I’ve shunned Must I kill the sun? Black and white with green Suck my victims clean Be sure he has no help I just killed myself Spray paint windows black Watch the light come back Forsake all I own Suck the marrow from my bones Cheeks so sunken pale Eyesight gone so stale Eating floor to mouth North has become my south Vampire state of mind Solar makes me blind Cherish precious moon Burrow deep at high noon Crawling in the dark Avoid the smallest spark Crickets in a cave I am now a moon slave Cavecricket – I’m nothing more Cavecricket – I’m such a whore Cavecricket – I’m crawling blind Cavecricket – Fuck myself then testify
3.	Migraine 04:21	lyrics	buy track
I see ghosts! They’re everywhere I turn They won’t fade They probe for what I’ve learned My ears bleed Their sounds drive me insane I pass out In shock from all the pain Save me god from this migraine Push the reason back to me Stop the retching of this blood Voices say “Go fetch an axe” Break my neck It seems like a good choice Merging now They form one voice: “Go fetch an axe” Make it stop This burning in my skull Logic’s gone Hell fills the empty hole “Go fetch an axe” Halt the pain of this migraine Drive the demons from my mind Stop the sparkles in my eyes Quiet now, I’ve got an axe Neurotic, psychotic, atomic, bubonic, ironic, moronic They babble and scream Mindless and blindness, and threatening violence in deafening silence I’m ripped at the seam
4.	Where Is Justice? 05:21	lyrics	buy track
I’ve bled, I’ve sweat, I’ve screamed, I’ve wept I force, and I eased, and still the gods aren’t pleased I broke, I choked, while marionettes all joked I lapped up that cracked up excuse for common folk I cured my own disease, I exchanged the wind fro breeze I broke down my dead frown and killed a dog for fleas I made the sacrifice, to scorch the earth with ice I paid in full, my immortal soul for a fuckin’ grain of rice Where Is Justice? I screamed from iron lungs, my emotions spoke in tongues My white skin, a vile sin, dare not judge me for what I’ve sung Such wreckage in my heart, this flesh could fall apart This dumbfuck, my dumb luck, find an ending before I start I cured my own disease, I exchanged the wind fro breeze I broke down my dead frown and killed a dog for fleas I made the sacrifice, to scorch the earth with ice I paid in full, my immortal soul for a fuckin’ grain of rice Where Is Justice? The beast inside me screams, you’re frozen in my dreams This alcohol my parasol, when rain becomes like streams A gifted life we lead, our failure to succeed The progress of recess, skew possession beyond your needs The guilt you burden is dead It’s all a time bomb inside your head Ticking, ticking, ticking Oh fuck it….let it blow
5.	Omnipotence 03:52	lyrics	buy track
“How many innocent lives do I have to take before these people figure out that I’m not fucking around?” Wrist to razor, a lamb to the slaughter Kill your son, destroy your daughter Warm my house burning dollar bills Fill my tub with all fresh kills Bat my eyes, stars fall from the sky Nod my head, your family’s dead Wave my hand, and you all die Pray for your meal, lest I break your bread I’m everywhere The cracks in the wall The air that you breathe In the bed where you fall I’m everywhere I taste all your fears All your inhibitions I catch every tear I’m watching you And with much dismay I will have to kill you That is just my way Don’t run away You’ll only waste time Which I simply stop Because everything’s mine Disciple to the altar, the flesh falls apart Evil intentions, with such noble heart Witness your failure, as you gnash your teeth Beg for forgiveness, and soak in defeat Focus self anger, on those around you It works right for me, and that’s just what I do Lash out in fury at where you fall short Make them all pay for your own bad report I’m everywhere The cracks in the wall The air that you breathe In the bed where you fall I’m everywhere I taste all your fears All your inhibitions I catch every tear I’m watching you And with much dismay I will have to kill you That is just my way
