End Times

Health is such a rich man's game
Looking for a quick release
Numbers climb for everything
Better guzzle that gasoline
See me as a body farm
Mouths to feed, men to arm
Progress all for naught
Suburban catacomb, my vessel rots
Swear to God
Knock me out
I'm the fall of man when the skin unfurls
Not a simple girl
Not a woman
Not a man
Not a person
Endless body
Endless mind
The end times they are nigh
Set fire to the hollow earth
Send us back into the universe
We unhinged the jaw, sucked her dry
Now Mother Nature will purify
Are you frightened by the pale horse cry?
Brace yourself for the consequence
of man's folly for the race to the top
and his fall like Satan, heaven sent
Close your eyes
Face the fire
Let us go then, you and I
Watch the future die
Give up the body
Give up the mind
Give up the planet
The tenure of the grand design
The end times they are nigh
They exiled us for all to see
Now in their death we'll be set free

Discipline & Punish

Clock kisses me
Like someone I know
who escaped
Can’t find my face
Ground down by the stone
Tell me, who am I?
Promised structure
Stability
The hours tally
My body ages by the second
Tell me
Have I proved myself yet?
I used to recognize this passion
Ground down in the gear
I fear old habits
And questions without answers
This prison is objective
Comforting and straight forward and
Keeping the lights on
Cowardice was never the goal
Yet I slapped away
Every hand with a key to help me
Get out
And now in my own shadow
I can see
I am the only one who can set me free
Break my back for your wretched scheme
Betray my bodies and the bodies before me
Hook and hang me from the tile
Another worker for the pile
All love lost for the sake of what?
Suckling mouths nip my empty cup
My spoons are naught, my mind is gone
in this psycho-capital phenomenon
I’ve combed through the past
Like a masochistic analyst
dusted off old resentments
And I pin-point the anger
And the envy
And the ghastly half-truths
And I bind them together
And burn them whole
There is no room for the old skin
So I shed it openly
Scary to see the automaton break down
Isn’t it?
My peace of mind floods
My rebirthed synapses
"They all don't last" they whisper in my ear
"For one more buck, we'll keep you here"
This stick and carrot is so fucking old
Draw the curtains on this archaic show
La vita e bella, if you have the guts
and I'm tired of prepping for the shunt
Let the quartet play, straight from the hip
I'll blow the nose off this sinking ship
Make them quake
And my eyes open from the blackout
How long has it been?
Months? Years?
Do I remember anything? Yes,
And when the bell tolls
For the poisoned minds
I am here to say, finally,
Do not sacrifice
This cycle of fear closes
And the fruits of my labor are now my own
I water them with care
And if I have one regret
It is this
That my power could be taken
By societal abyss
And when I stand at the open door
Their bloody hands will reach no more
Let my scars lift me to the light
No longer a peon for the plight
My future self confronts the past
A foolish thing to think I'd last
at the beck and call of the vile clan
I'm the only survivor in the end

Firestarter

I'm the trouble starter, punkin' instigator
I'm the fear addicted, danger illustrated
You're a firestarter, twisted firestarter
I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter
I'm the bitch you hated, filth infatuated, yeah
I'm the pain you tasted, fell intoxicated
I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter
You're a firestarter, twisted firestarter
I'm the self inflicted, mind detonator
I'm the one infected, twisted animator
I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter
You're a firestarter, twisted firestarter
I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter starter

Parasite

Parasite!
Arrogant and wicked sprite
You fight with false panache
You lash, you lash
Bare what fangs
In your toothless maw?
Nail yourself to your cross
Of rancid trash
And I will take you
Take you alive
And I will break you
Break you alive
Soaking in the filth of your grandeur
Your entitled grime crushes you
Ice out the menace that eats the air
Detoxify and let it die!
Break the shackles and send out the flare
Trapped in a prison of your own design!
You’re nothing
Parasite!
The gracious host
Turns no blind eye
You lie, you lie, you lie
It feels you beg
thrash and whine
Behind sheep’s wool
You’re serpentine
And I will take you
Eye for an eye
And I will bleed you
Bleed you dry
All light we have offered to you
Now engulfs you as a flame
Your path, a cursed inferno
Fueled by your own cursed perception
Ice out the menace that eats the air
Detoxify and let it die!
Break the shackles and send out the flare
Trapped in a prison of your own design!
You’re nothing

Prisoner of Fate
03:19

Bring the gavel down
My head glued to the martyr’s crown
No need to cast the stone
My house shatters on its own
Language hemorrhaging out
Yet my mind doesn’t make a sound
I don’t remember what I meant
Now my intention winds up dead!
Pressure
Building
Brainwaves
Twisting
Chiseled out of stone
A work of art that I view alone
Projecting meaning is my vice
Thoughtless passion is my sacrifice
I bypass all the signs
To lay my hands on what I see divine
What a cursed surprise
The statue crumbles before my eyes
Logic
Breaking
Do you see what’s gone on?
Do you see what I’ve become?
Set myself ablaze
My senses lost
Deaf, blind, dumb in a pile of dust
Even sans the sharp imbibe
The hand of trauma still resides
I beg you to sever it every time
While you’re closed in the maiden
By your own sick mind
Memory
Flooding
Silence
Shouting
Lust is a dangerous game
and when I shoot to kill
I can’t be tame
like capturing a dove
with vampire gloves
i take the purest thing
and tear it up
In my dreams, your eyes appear
Views the sum of all my fear
I cut the corners and i played too fast
Now i’m awake and built to last
Can you love something that you’ve lost
when it’s gaining strength to carry it’s cross?
Do you hold it under the scope
while it’s trying to learn to hate the rope?
Do you shift with the changing moods
when i don’t want the past but want you in my room?
Can we devour this moment but still be free?
I’ve always loved a dichotomy
Split the pain
From the assault
The fantasy comes
To a grinding halt
Honesty now in this final throe
I hid more than you will ever know
Crack my head
Inside you’ll find
The steel-trap
To protect my mind
Behind the nothings
And the soft caress
My true colors couldn’t lay to rest
Break the cycle
Break the spell
Douse the flames of this living hell
Break the mold
Break the chain
Break the voices inside my brain
All for nothing
All for love
All for the moment i rise above
All rules and regulations burned at the pyre
When you’re a prisoner of fate and it’s dark desire
