Monsters

  1. Ravenous

Your heart pumps dangerous blood Please let me have a taste Only appetite survives Senses keen when hunger thrives We live by instinct Blinded by desire Burning up with fever Every nerve on fire We are animals We kill to stay alive We are cannibals We kill because we can Your heart’s a dangerous drug I’m drunk on your scent I focus on this one thing And I don’t repent Your arms wrap around Your nails dig in There can be no redemption So there can be no sin

2. Drugs And Candy

Fill my lunchbox up with lies Send me off to school again To sit among the hypnotized Drugs and candy kill my pain Drugs and candy Candy and drugs It tastes like love It tastes like love Fill my lunchbox up with lies Sugar coat a bitter pill Lollipop ‘lude lullabies Drugs and candy cure your guilt Drugs and candy Candy and drugs It tastes like love It tastes like love Insulin and peppermints Angel dust and devil’s food

3. Everything Looks Better On Fire

You made a big mistake You thought you were untouchable You thought you were infallible You thought I was malleable The Devil’s in the details And there’ll be hell to pay ‘CAUSE EVERYTHING LOOKS BETTER ON FIRE When secrets see the light of day Burn the evidence! Burn the evidence! Burn the evidence! Judge jury and- Burn the evidence! Burn the evidence! Burn the evidence! Executioner! Of all your many manias “Pyro” should have been first You were a fool to think The dead would stay buried The gaslight is ignited And the Devil knows your name ‘CAUSE EVERYTHING LOOKS BETTER ON FIRE A house of paper left in flame Burn the evidence! Burn the evidence! Burn the evidence! Judge jury and- Burn the evidence! Burn the evidence! Burn the evidence! Burn! Burn the evidence! Burn the evidence! Burn the evidence! Judge jury and- Burn the evidence! Burn the evidence! Burn the evidence! Executioner!

4. My One Big Mistake

How could I do such a monstrous thing When I’m not a monster? (I’m not a monster) How could I do such a monstrous thing When I’m not a monster? (I’m not a monster) How could I do such a monstrous thing When I’m not a monster? (Am I a monster?) How could I do such a monstrous thing Am I a monster? (Am I a monster?) And I’ve got my whole life To dwell on my one big mistake Where do monsters hide Are they always inside? (Always inside) Where do monsters hide Are they always inside? (Always inside) How could I do such a monstrous thing When I’m not a monster? (I’m not a monster) How could I do such a monstrous thing Am I a monster? (Am I a monster?) And I’ve got my whole life To dwell on my one big mistake And I’ve got my whole life To dwell on my one big mistake And I’m damned if I do And I’m damned if I don’t So I become the monster I become the monster

5. I See Demons

Disease is in your mouth and it’s talking to me I see the demon behind your smile You talk of peace and love with murder in your eyes You’re a happy face with a killer in disguise What we see is not perceived Replaced instead with what we need If you’ve spoken, you’re a liar Poisoned by your own desire Disease is in my head and it’s talking to me I see the demon when I dream I sleep with my eyes open now and I never blink Disease overcomes me when I try to think What we see is not perceived Replaced instead with what we need If you’ve spoken, you’re a liar Poisoned by your own desire Disease is all around and it’s coming for you I see the demon in my reflection My eyes are glowing red, I’m all scales and teeth I’m a happy face with a killer underneath What we see is not perceived Replaced instead with what we need If you’ve spoken, you’re a liar Poisoned by your own desire

6. Requiem

Ashes to ashes Dust to dust You think you hear angels But it’s holocaust To return to the void Your constellation prize A requiem for those who have Gone before us Cradled in a grave A grave in a cradle This mortal habit Always ends up fatal The belt of Orion around your arm And the stars in your eyes A requiem for those who have Gone before us

7. I Used To Be Human

I used to be human Then they came and took my soul away I used to be human Then they came and tore out my heart I used to be human Then they came and took my innocence I used to be human Then they came and took my conscience And the blackest, darkest part of me Spilled out like poison, like a disease I trusted them and they took me from me I used to be human Then they came and took my sympathy I used to be human Then they came and took my empathy And if they knew what they unleashed The venom, the malignancy They might have just walked by instead I used to be human Now I am the creature that they made I used to be human I used to care Now God help them all…

8. The Fallen Angel

I will teach you how to burn Can you see the dark? It’s all around you now Can you feel the fear That eats you from the inside out? Your mind cannot comprehend The misdirection As I turn your descent Into my resurrection I will teach you how to burn I’m the fallen angel You handed me a loaded gun Then prayed to your toxic deity To save you from the bullet But the void is so appealing I can see how your optimism Holds you like a prison You talk to me of repentance But you will never finish the sentence I’m the fallen angel I will teach you how to burn I’m the fallen angel Can you see the dark? It’s all around you now I’m the fallen angel Can you feel the fear that eats you from the inside out? I’m the fallen angel

9. Parasite

I slipped in through the smallest crack Became the monkey on your back I filled up your emptiness Now you’re the one that I possess And I live and I live Inside your head inside your head And I live and I live Inside your head inside your head This side of parasite My side of parasite I slipped in past your darkest fear Became the bug in your ear I filled up your vacant soul You needed me to be whole And I live and I live Inside your head inside your head And I live and I live Inside your head inside your head This side of parasite My side of parasite I slipped in through the smallest crack Became the monkey on your back
10. That Will Be What Kills Me

Somewhere deep in my mind A voice in the black Tells all of my secrets Things that I cannot hide Not far enough inside And things I’ll never forget And after everything I’ve done And after everything I’ve seen And after all that I’ve been through That will be what kills me Ghosts that once haunted me Now beg for their rest When once they’d been bound I pray for release Wrapped in emptiness And darkness all around And after everything I’ve done And after everything I’ve seen And after all that I’ve been through That will be what kills me

11. I Only Look Like I’m Dead

I’ve learned to take it like a man To turn the other cheek Spit and fists and teeth and nails Strength is not showing your weaknesses Diseases hide in the cleanest minds Filth might not be healthy but filth is honest I’m getting too tired To keep up with my rage Hatred makes you numb And you keep needing more Diseases thrive where they are not feared Suddenly you can’t fight then you forget how And I’m not afraid of pain anymore ‘Cause pain reminds me I’m alive I must have died a thousand times So what’s once more? There’s a voice inside my head And it says, “do the world a favor” Diseases kill when they are denied My heart beats like a clock Time is running out When I see myself I can’t place the face This sallow skin Is a sign of things to come Diseases die and leave you feeling empty I’m out of excuses There’s nothing now but me And I’m not afraid of pain anymore ‘Cause pain reminds me I’m alive
12. Your Browser Is
Lucky are the dead They never saw what their world became Your browser is the grave The past is buried in History repeats itself On and on into the future Your browser is the book That no one ever reads There is nothing to remember Because nothing is forgotten Your browser is the gift That you take for granted The parasite takes hold This machine becomes you Your browser is the blessing That became a curse Critical thinking is dead.

Propaganarchy!

  1. Propaganarchy!

They sell it to you on the news With targeted information Tell you what they say is true With not-so-subtle persuasion You think you’re thinking for yourself But they tell you what to believe And you never suspected You could be so naive Sanitize our history Drown us in hyperbole Who is the real enemy? What we need is propaganarchy! Politicians as rock stars Rock stars as politicians Opposing views disguised as news Bleed from your television You think you’re thinking for yourself But have you been deceived? When at best it’s overstretched At worst it’s make-believe Sanitize our history Drown us in hyperbole Who is the real enemy? What we need is propaganarchy! Sanitize our history Drown us in hyperbole Who is the real enemy? What we need is propaganarchy! What we need Is propaganarchy What we need Is propaganarchy What we need Is propaganarchy What we need Is propaganarchy Sanitize our history Drown us in hyperbole Who is the real enemy? What we need is propaganarchy!

2. Down

I cut myself the blood is warm But I can’t feel the pain Desensitized cyberflesh Wires where there should be veins I feel the anger welling up inside But I can’t find release I am exploding in slow motion I am the new disease I cut myself the blood is black It poisons my soul I’ve been torn apart piece by piece Nothing can make me whole I feel the anger welling up inside And it’s starting to scare me The new me is a ticking time bomb The old me is dead and buried I am the killer with no heart I’m a rocket to the ground I am everything I hate And I will drag you down Look what I have become

3. Earth To John (For John Ferrari)

Earth to John Are you in a better place? Earth to John What was it you couldn’t face? I wish you would have talked to me I wish you would have talked to anyone You left behind a mystery You left behind a life undone Earth to John When did your life spin out of control? Earth to John Have you found rest for your soul? I wish you would have talked to me I wish you would have talked to anyone You left behind a mystery You left behind a life undone You should have talked to me You should have talked to anyone You left behind a mystery You left behind a life undone Earth to John I will never know your reasons why Earth to John I just wish I got to say goodbye I wish you would have talked to me I wish you would have talked to anyone You left behind a mystery You left behind a life undone You should have talked to me You should have talked to anyone You left behind a mystery You left behind a life undone

4. Coitus Interruptus

You say romance is dead But you keep kicking the remains Expecting to be freed But your desire is in chains Are you just killing The pain of existence When nothing is fulfilling And all you feel is distance There’s a film on your sheets And it’s sticky and sweet And it plays all your conquests On endless repeat A desperate rhythm A tempo sublime Like a clock that keeps ticking And eating up time And all you ever wanted Was to be saved As you count the other bodies On the way to the grave A million little deaths It’s a slow suicide But the emptiness you feel Will never subside
5. Execration

An altar boy led astray A predator and his pray An altar boy, an unconditional trust A demon disguised as an angel Satan’s eyes through stained glass windows Hiding your sins behind Jesus Kneel before your corrupt lord Feel his sword and count your scars An altar boy just wanted to believe An altered boy – he was only deceived An innocence gone forever A faith destroyed by a broken vow Kneel before your corrupt lord Feel his sword and count your scars A collar and robes, a wolf in sheep’s clothes Do you really think god will forgive you?

6. Hidden Drives

The vermin crawls within your walls The traps you set won’t catch them all Your Stepford life is marked for pox With a big red flag on your mailbox Secret lives Hidden drives Secret lives Hidden drives You have to fool yourself Before you can fool anyone else Tranquilized and hypnotized By this fauxtopia You smile at the neighbors To make sure they see your teeth The same house on the same lawn It’s always the same place Trapped inside a fugue state In a liminal space Secret lives Hidden drives Secret lives Hidden drives You have to fool yourself Before you can fool anyone else

7. The Moment Before

The moment before you knew You were smiling The moment before you knew You were laughing In an instant everything changed Nothing would be the same As the moment before you knew Did you suspect that day Would be different? Some strange sixth sense Or nagging feeling? Or just blissfully unaware Of the coming nightmare? The moment before you knew This side of one second Is another place for you This side of one second You can never go back to You can only recall The writing on the wall The moment before you knew

8. Hellhole

Humanity has opened the gates of hell The gates of hell The gates of hell Humanity has opened the gates of hell The gates of hell The gates of hell
