YOU SACRIFICE YOUR LOVE
YOU SACRIFICE YOUR HEART
TO THAT JOB YOU HATE
ALL THOSE BILLS CANT WAIT
YOU SELL YOUR TIME
YOU PAY IT NO MIND
YOU SELL YOUR TIME
ITS JUST YOUR TIME
YOU SACRIFICE YOUR LOVE
YOU SACRIFICE YOUR HEART
FOR THAT CREDIT CARD
PRAY FOR A BRAND NEW CAR
YOU DIG YOUR OWN GRAVE
YOU DIG YOUR OWN GRAVE

THE BLIND COSMOS GRIND ON AIMLESS
FROM NOTHING INTO SOMETHING FROM SOMETHING THEN BACK TO NOTHING
NEVER HEEDING NEVER KNOWING
THE WISHES OR EXISTENCE OF THE MINDS THAT FLICKER FOR A SECOND
NOW AND THEN
IN THE DARKNESS
ON AND ON INTO THE DARKNESS
FLARING UP CAVING IN GOING OUT WORLDS THEY DONT LAST
GODS COME AND GODS GO
THE STARS AND THE GALAXIES THEY’RE ALL TRANSIENT FLEETING THINGS
THEY FLICKER FLASH AND FADE
THOSE LIGHTS THAT SHINE
HOW THEY REMIND US OF OUR INEVITABLE END
WE CAN PRETEND THAT THIS WILL LAST
BUT OUR PAST IT PUSHES US FAST TO COLLAPSE
TO THAT INSIGNIFICANT LAST BREATH
FORGIVE FORGET LAMENT REGRET
HOW SHALLOW HOW FICKLE HOW MEANINGLESS ALL HUMAN ASPIRATIONS ARE
FIRE I COULD BURN YOU
WATER I COULD FREEZE YOU
EARTH I COULD BURY YOU
ASHES SENT TO THE WIND

OH GOD ITS NOT WHAT I THOUGHT
I KNOW NOW WHAT I SHOULD NOT
OH GOD ITS NOT WHAT I THOUGHT
I'VE FOUND OUT WHAT I SHOULD NOT
NOW IM LOOKING AT MYSELF IN THE MIRROR
I WONDER WHAT MY FACE WOULD LIKE WITHOUT A NOSE ON IT
THERE ARE WORLDS BETWEEN OUR WORLDS
WHERE UNIMAGINED THINGS DWELL
A TWILIGHT ABYSMAL SWIRL
THERE ARE WORLDS JUST BENEATH OUR WORLD
AND IF YOU CRACK THE SURFACE
A MEGALITHIC LAND UNFURLS
FORMULAIC ANGLES DRAWN IN CHALK
MATHEMATICS MIXED WITH FANTASTIC
LEGENDS OF ELDER MAGIC
IF I CAN CRACK THE CODE AND TAKE THE OATH
SEE IF I CAN PHASE SHIFT
DRIFT THROUGH THE INFINITE
OH GOD ITS NOT WHAT I THOUGHT
IVE FOUND OUT WHAT SHOULD NOT
NOW I'M LIKE A SICK SENSITIVE SHADOW WRITHING IN HANDS THAT ARE NOT HANDS
WHIRLING BLINDLY PAST MIDNIGHTS OF ROTTING CREATION
THEY’RE CRAWLING
I AM THE RATS IN THE WALLS
WE’RE CRAWLING
THE TICKING CLOCK SOUNDS LIKE ARTILLERY FIRE
DID THE FEVER BRING ON THE DREAMS
OR IS THE FEVER WHAT THE DREAMS INSPIRE

He’s a starving artist
you better let him go
stick a pen into my skin
drawl dotted lines on your throat
bless me I've sinned
fear the fire but feel the flames
learn to stomach kerosene
immerse yourself in all bad thing
start calling yourself god
the promise land is a pile of shit
Everything you say is profound
look at my feet when I walk around
Im learning how to die in this town
so waste me now
Love is at the heart of the weak
slip into my best dress
stare into the mirror
whom I trying to empress
there’s no one there
you could of had it all
an empire of worms
you’e just a shadow of a
a lost turn
Bless me, Ive sinned
The promise land is a pile of shit
Love is at the heart of the weak
I can't leave it alone
I can't steep this low
and In the morning it won't be gone
I can't wait that long
Separate everything
everything thats destroying me
The booze, the drugs, the constant hanger-ons
separate everyone
I will fail again
bless me for I've sinned
fuck your promises
love is at the heart of the weak

I AWOKE AT DUSK
ALL THATS LEFT IS A HUSK
MY OCEANS MIRE
MY RIVERS MUCK
I GUESS I'M STUCK
LOOKS LIKE IM FUCKED
KINDLE UP A FIRE
TRY AND CHANGE MY LUCK
MY BODY HAS GONE THE WAY OF THE LEAVES
UNDERNEATH THE OPPRESSING TEXAS SUMMERS HEAT
LAYING FORGOTTEN DEAD ON THE CONCRETE
CRUSHING UNDERNEATH ALL OF YOUR FEET
ALL THESE MISTAKES I'M BOUND TO REPEAT
CHAIN ME UP TO THE 5 DAY WORK WEEK
ALL THESE MISTAKES I'M BOUT TO REPEAT
MAYBE WHEN I'M DEAD I’LL FINALLY SLEEP
EONS IN THIS TOMB
NEVER COULD REST IN THIS ROOM
MIASMIC VILE PLUME
ROSES THAT NEVER BLOOMED
MY DOOM CAME TOO SOON
I PROBABLY SHOULD STAY UNDERGROUND
THEY DONT WANT ME AROUND
I PROBABLY SHOULD STAY UNDERGROUND
BETTER OFF NEVER FOUND
I SHOULD STAY UNDERGROUND
BUT YOUR BLOOD IS JUST TOO SWEET

YOULL NEVER SEE US COMING
INSTINCTUAL CONQUERING METHOD
THIS AUTOMATIC ARMAGEDDON
ITS IN OUR BLOOD
DESTROY THE DAM
REDIRECT THE RIVER
CONTROL THE FLOOD
SUFFOCATE WITH BLOOD AND MUD
DEVOUR THEIR WIVES AND CHILDREN
MAKE THEM WATCH
PUT THEIR EYES OUT
MAKE IT THE LAST THEY SEE
IDENTIFY THEIR KINGS
DEFACE THEIR WALL RELIEFS
DEFILE THEIR MAUSOLEUM
TAKE ALL THATS LEFT OF HIM
TAKE IT ALL
NO END TO THE SPOIL
REND IT ALL
MAKE THEIR BLOOD BOIL
BURN IT ALL
SOW SALT IN SOIL
KILL THEM ALL
RELIEVE THEIR MORTAL COIL
KING OF KINGS
I LOVE TO HEAR YOU SCREAM
KINGS OF KINGS
ILL EVEN TAKE YOUR DREAMS
THY YOKE I CAST OFF
YOULL SUFFER AS WEVE SUFFERED
THE ONE THAT SHATTERS INTO PIECES
HAS COME UP UPON THEE
THY LAIR I BURN WITH SMOKE
THY YOUNG MY SWORD SHALL DEVOUR
GUARD THY WALLS GUARD THY LOINS
MAKE THY STRENGTH THE UPMOST
MAKE THY STRENGTH THE UPMOST
OUR CHARIOTS LIKE TORCHES
THEY RIDE ELECTRIC
PREPARE THE BATTERING RAM
THE QUEEN IS STRIPPED OF HER CLOTHING
THEY ARE LEADING HER AWAY
HER MAIDENS MOAN LIKE DOVES
THE ONES YOUVE LOVED
UPON THEIR BREAST THEY ARE BEATING
A TANK OF BLOOD THEY ARE ESCAPING
WHERE ARE THE GREAT LIONS NOW
BEHOLD I AM AGAINST THEE
WELL FAVORED HARLOT OF DEVILRY
WHO WILL BEWAIL THEE
