Why have I been cursed to live?
I've lived a thousand times.
Each time no escape of death.
I've died a thousand times.
The same stone my hands are tied to,
Will be the one to drag me down.
I have been damned to this,
I'll be crushed a thousand times.
You've no obligation to pity me,
I know what will come, I've seen it before.
The very world that we've been nailed to
Will be the one to drag us down.
You see the sun? The one above you?
We will fall into its grasp one day.
I've born a thousand times.
I remember each life I've lived.
How did it ever get this bad?
I can't believe what I've become.
Why must I be cursed to live?
Every body that I've been nailed to,
Every world I couldn't leave.
Why must I remember all of them?

Hymn of the Crows

Oh, the world I left behind
Sound asleep, high in the pines,
When your heart is close to mine,
We'll run out in sunshine.
Gracefully embrace the wind,
Summertime is coming in.
When I was hung-out on clothespins,
I saw the crows closing-in.
Alas, the love I'd thought I had
Drug-out in a plastic bag.
Bring me Ted, and bring me Chad,
The sounds they make will drive me mad.
The birds watch me as I sleep.
Through the leaves, I see them peak.
The dull mutter of the creek,
Much too tired now to speak.

Teeth Like Diamonds

Such a stupid thing
To be fed alive.
A lowly fucking vermin,
Not fit for sacrifice.
Tear off her legs,
She won't mind.
Take whatever's their's,
Now, its mine.
Swallowing nuts and bolts,
The stomach lining rips.
Gauging out our eyes
With unfolded paper clips.
The waves that crushed her legs
Took all her sister's hair.
Leave your burdened sentiment,
It will get you nowhere.
Man, woman and child,
Taken in the wreck.
The wolf will find its teeth
In the rabbit's neck.
The worms in the horse's flesh
Bursting through their host.
I didn't make the world this way
But know it will kill us both.
Corpses carry germs,
So we had to burn our dead.
Our teeth shine like little diamonds,
Our eyes glow blood-red.
The waves that crushed her legs
Took all her sister's hair.
Leave your burdened sentiment,
It will get you nowhere.

Three hours melted away at the
San Francisco airport,
Your new Disturbed shirt drenched in sweat,
Oh my God, just shoot me now.
Downloading tranny porn
On your grandmother's DSL.
Your room in permanent disarray,
Yeah yeah yeah.
Semen encrusted on your crotch,
Buy your dinner down at the
Dollar store.
The whole world's just a gnat stuck in your eye.
Hot puss oozing out your lip.
Hot fuzz riding down your walls.
A seat for two
In the Asscrack Amphitheater, yeah yeah yeah.

Now, I'm Dead
02:54

To think it would end this way,
Never in my life,
Would I have thought of something so trite,
That this would end my life.
You saw me lying there,
Cracked my head, now I'm dead.
I fell down the stairs,
My open head, now I'm dead.
The flower's outside your window
Swaying in the wing.
The beetles in your carpet,
Sorry I let them in.
The things we think the least of,
We'll miss in the end.
You'd better learn to love the rats,
They'll eat you once you're dead.
Grey matter hanging out,
The bone fracture gleams.
My blood stained in your carpet,
Sorry I can't help clean.

You stood over her,
Most things end the same.
The snow will cover us,
Like it does most things.
They won't know you're gone,
Once you've gone away.
After you have died,
They, too, will decay.
Feed me to the fire,
Just see if I care.
Tear out all my bones,
Tear off all my hair.
You pray to your God.
Why do you bother him?
That sun has fell before,
That sun will fall again.

Minotaur
04:27

Push the stick in through the eye,
Stretch-out like a shadow,
A hundred feet under and you
Cry as you die.
Whimpers like a beaten dog,
Baby dead birds chirping and
Bleeds black blood til the bag
Turns black.
Girl takes baths
And the pieces dissolve off
You could catch a finger or a cold
Or a leg.
Minotaur, mini-taurus,
Picking teeth out my dogs mouth,
Closed-in metal spaces,
Splashed in green and red and green and
Cartoon animals fucking and
The kids get in for free.
Hotel rooms and cats in heat,
Little paper hearts.
Empty whiskey bottles and
The smell of flesh that's burning
And the children in a circle all sing;
“KILL ME!”

Straight back down the road to Hell.

Teeth Marks
05:05

I will always be afraid,
I will always be ashamed.
I will always carry your teeth marks in my neck.
I will always carry your bullet in my hip.
I will always be in debt.
I will always be what's left.
I will always be the worst
Thing you ever see.
I will never get to forget.
And each day I feel I'm like you.
Always crashing through windows just like you do.
Always busting down the door on the way outside.
Always sinking my teeth in anything I find.
And like the snake hid in the grass,
I'm always what's expected last.
And like the hound waiting at the door,
I'm always just where I was before.

Rats

Is it so much to ask?
Could you just leave me alone?
My legs will be crushed immobile
By the single damning stone.
When the cat falls dead,
The rats will eat its flesh
And they'll laugh,
They'll laugh,
They'll laugh.
My eyes glaze over in dissonance.
My mouth can't even spit.
My heart beats fast in aggravated spite.
My blood just boldly sits.
Vines wrap themselves 'round my legs,
A thousand crows pick-out my eyes.
The ears of which they fall upon
Feign deafness to my cries.
Oh, pity is an arbitrary gesture,
There are no tears to be shed.
Oh, joy is something that I'll know
When I can finally lay down dead.
