1.
A five arm fire burns inside me. Smoke billows from my mouth, stinging my eyes to tears of mercury. I'm coughing ash all over myself when I see in the distance, a child drowning in a lake. I pray the lamb won't be saved for I envy its watery grave.
2.
Her spectral hand passes through my chest. My blood's thinning the further she penetrates. I hang from her arm like a dead flag As she lays me into sour earth And my eyes go opaque as she descends on my face Gorging on her perennial, I smile for I know I'm not hers Someone else, long ago, had her barbed claws hooked in my brain

72 Hours 01:29
Everything is spinning Like I'm trapped on a carousel from hell All faces smearing across my doomed horizon Dopesick off gold while the vultures pure my rewards Depleted, I lay as silence washes over me No more silence now, just waves of this droning music It sounds like 1,000 souls evacuating 1,000 bodies over and over and over This is my palace This is my crypt This is my palace and my crypt This is what I deserve

Die Stryder 01:38
Sores like rotting lips coat your corridor walls All internal so your victims never see it coming I love how my lies hook you right through the cheeks So your eyes will never leave mine Before your plagues, we had one night together A trial of limbs contorting Rot Rot, my sweet compost heap With her legs, wishboned
5.
I could stargaze from this womb forever But my transparent host must feed her growing void with a sacrafice Strip search this vessel and tear me from her hull This cord, a shackle passing life between us, will now serve me as my noose of flesh All voids will never be satisfied I will prove this my entrance as I'm cast into this world with breathless lungs Looking ever so blue, so blue like an unbroken vein.

Your blackened nails Is that dirt or dead flesh under them? So willing to find out as you beckon me from beneath the floorboards Is that you? The smoke slithering through the cracks? The sensuous dance of vapors, now solidifying A web of dyed red hair above eyes glowing nuclear green All I hear is your cackle as my knees buckle back Behold, my love! We're levitating now I swim past the sparks propelling from your grinding jaws But I can't touch you through this binary code So close yet so fucking gone
7.
Catabolism 01:36
I'm watching you all ascend Each wrapped in shrouds of self entitlement I'm left here breathing in this dust from all your horns that you filed down Did you forget that they grow back? Eloquence, permanence All bred from ignorance But you'll find that out soon enough Past the clearing, what awaits you is not the kingdom you thought Even your children will be unblessed from the marrow out. You burn Raining on the world I dance in the ashes of your failure.
