1. No Condolences (The Dismal Residue)
THE FOUL RUIN THAT I EMBRACE IN ISOLATION
IS MY SELF-SERVING INDIGNITY
I WAS WROUGHT BY HEARTRENDING IMMOLATION
THUS, THE CATACLYSMIC BURIAL OF VIRGINITY
FATHER HATH FORSAKEN
ALL OF HIS KINDRED AFFINITIES
THE SPINES WERE INDELICATELY TAKEN
FROM ALL OF HIS ENTITIES
FATHER HATH FORSAKEN
ALL OF HIS KINDRED AFFINITIES
THE SPINES WERE INDELICATELY TAKEN
FROM ALL OF HIS ENTITIES
FATHER HATH FORSAKEN
ALL OF HIS KINDRED AFFINITIES
SUCH A DECADENT MESS TO DIGEST
WITHOUT FURTHER ADO
TO BATHE IN EXCREMENT
IN LEIU…OF PURITY
AND YOU DARE MARVEL AT…THE DISMAL RESIDUE
IT IS SUCH A SHAME
THAT THERE ARE NO CONDOLENCES FOR YOU
A SERVANT TO YOUR NEGLIGENCE
UNFORGIVING SENTIMENT
SURRENDER
2. Unfounded Divinity
SUCH A LOATHSOME WAY TO GO
BY WAY OF ASPHYXIATION
SUCH A SAD THING TO KNOW
THAT THERE IS NO LONGER ANY ROOM
FOR DEVIATION
DEVIATION
DEVIATION
DEVIATION
TRIED AND TRIED YET AGAIN
THROUGH AND THROUGH
YOU PUSHED AWAY THE BLOODIED BREAD
I FOUGHT FOR YOUR FOOD
AND KILLED FOR YOUR EXISTENCE
I FED FROM THE BOTTOM
AND STILL RECEIVED THE BRUNT OF YOUR RESISTANCE
LIKE A GIFT FROM THE SACRED GODS
I CHERISHED IT WITH SPIRITUAL AWE
LIKE A GIFT FROM THE SACRED GODS
I CHERISHED IT WITH SPIRITUAL AWE
ALL THE LIMBS I SACRIFICED
I MADE A FOOL OF ME
WHEN I COMPROMISED…
…MY DIGNITY
IN YOUR WINDOWS, I NEVER FOUND DIVINITY
IN YOUR WINDOWS, I NEVER FOUND DIVINITY
IN YOUR WINDOWS, I NEVER FOUND DIVINITY
3. Blueprint
I RECALL
THE THOUGHT, AT ONE POINT, THAT YOU “TRULY” DID ABHOR
FROM THE ONSET, I KNEW
THAT YOU WERE MORE LIKELY TO EXPLORE
OH, IT IS SO APPARENT NOW
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ANYONE ELSE HAD I NOT BEEN AROUND
MY FEET
THEY FINALLY FEEL THE GROUND
AMPUTATE THESE ELATED SHROUDS
SO MUCH FOR THIS FRUITFUL ATTEMPT
TO RESPITE THIS INTIMATE CONTEMPT
TIGHTENING THE REINS FOR FEAR OF LOSING GRIP
AS THE BLOOD IS PERCOLATING OUT OF THE SKIN
WOULD YOU CARE…FOR A LITTLE SIP?
4. Aggrieved
NOWADAYS, DISCERNMENT IS SUCH AN UNKEMPT ENTITY
MANIFEST THE DECEITFUL OUTSIDE WORLD
WHERE YOU CANNOT PERCEIVE INIQUITY
AMID OBSCURITY UPON DESECRATED TILES
MURDERERS OFTEN LINGER
BUT YOU CAN ONLY SEE THEIR SMILES
WELL, I AM SORRY THAT YOUR SOILED FLOORBOARD
CANNOT BE SWEPT CLEAN
FOR ONCE, JUST TRY YOUR HAND AND OPEN…
…THE CURTAIN
LET THE LIGHT BATHE EVERYTHING
ABOUT FACE; GAZE INTO YOUR ABODE
WITH OPEN WINDOWS; WATCH THE SCATTERING VERMIN
WITH OPEN WINDOWS; WATCH THE SCATTERING FOES
I CAN SEE THE SOILED FLOORBOARD
THAT THE RUG COULD NOT HIDE
IT HAD SERVED AS A PRACTICAL ANCHOR
BUT NOW IT WILL AID YOUR TRAGIC CAPSIZE
YOUR HERMETIC SIGHT
SHOULD NOT HAVE DESCENDED UPON ME
BECAUSE HONESTLY
RIGHT OR WRONG, MY SIGHT WAS NEVER…
…DOWNCAST UPON THEE
…DOWNCAST UPON THEE…DOWNCAST UPON THEE…
5. Under The Weather
THREADBARE FIBER SPURRING INDISCRETIONS
COMPELLING THE DOMINOES TO PLUMMET IN SUCCESSION
THE TEMPTATION TO THROW CAUTION TO THE WIND
HAS NEVER BEEN SO EVIDENT
PSYCHOSOMATIC COPULATION
ENSNARES THE REVIVAL OF THE DARK HORSE
OH, THE RHYTHMIC SENSATION
YIELDS A FAMISHED LIBIDO
STILL PINING FOR NATURAL INTERCOURSE
FEEBLE STABS TO BREAK THIS TERRIBLE DESIRE
THIS TREACHEROUS FEELING HAS FAILED TO EXPIRE
FOR EVERY INADEQUATE STEP, I DISOWN
EACH INADEQUACY THAT I HAVE “OUTGROWN”
THIS IS A DEFEATED SUBCONSCIOUS
LOOMING UNDER THE WEATHER
STILL FRETTING FOR RETRIBUTION
DURING THE INBORN ENDEAVOR
EQUIPPED TO IMPART THE CURSED HEIRLOOM
A LIABILITY THAT IS A CHOICE TO ASSUME
PREPARED TO PASS THE TRANSGRESSION DOWN
ALL BENEATH THE LIMELIGHT
YET NOTHING HAD BEEN FOUND (UNTIL NOW)
SO, YOU’VE ENLIGHTENED THE IMMACULATE YOUTH
WITH YOUR INCOHERENT REPRIMAND
I STILL DON’T HATE YOU!
(IN FACT) IN A DIRE AND BITTER KINSHIP
I SOMEWHAT UNDERSTAND
BUT FOR THE REST OF MY MORTAL LIFE
I WILL DWELL IN SIMILAR DOUBT
SO, I AM WIPING MY HANDS CLEAN OF THE COMMUNIST TREE
THE DISCOVERY…OF IDEAL INDIVIDUALITY
WHAT WORKS (OR HAS WORKED) FOR YOU
MIGHT NOT EVER WORK FOR ME
TO HELL WITH BEING SWORN INTO SECRECY
6. Revelations Once Sought
IN THE SHADOWS, DEMONS CRAWL
LOOKING FOR CHILDREN TO FEAST UPON
PLEASED TO MEET YOUR FRUSTRATION
KEEP ON PUSHING ME HARD
INTO YOUR CREATION
YOU HAVE MADE ME A BEAST
AND YOU ARE MY MARTYR
LIVING THIS LOVE LIFE WITH YOU
IS GETTING SO MUCH HARDER
FIND PERFECTION IN ME…
…TO TURN IT ON ME
I, ONCE CRADLED THESE WORDS
THE OUTCOME; IT WAS DISAPPOINTING
SICKENED IN THE HEAD
SO TWISTED
I WOULD RATHER THIS BE DEAD
GIVING THIS LIFE ANOTHER CHANCE
LIVING IT DAY BY DAY, SELFISHLY
SPIRALING PSYCHE; TREMBLING STANCE
NEARING MY HYPNOSIS
IN THIS SELF-DESTRUCTIVE CIRCUMSTANCE
I WISH SOMEBODY TOLD ME
THAT YOUTH WAS BUT A SIMPLE GLANCE
FOR WHEN YOU REACH A POINT OF CONTRAVENTION
YOU’RE HELD LIABLE TO MEND YOUR OWN INCISION
(FOR NOW) FERMENTATION IS DISGUISED
BUT THINGS WILL SOON BECOME CLEARER
EMBITTERED, I WILL BE MESMERIZED
EMBITTERED, I WILL BE MESMERIZED
7. Severed Loss
A RELAPSE INTO TRADITION
WILL INSTITUTIONALIZE PREDISPOSITION
I MUST ASCEND; RENOUNCE THE PUNISHMENT
I WILL MAKE UP MY OWN MIND ABOUT YOU
BUT WITH ALL OF THIS SHIT THAT I HAVE BEEN BROUGHT UP IN
I CAN’T SEEM TO WIN THIS… WAR!
SELF-DEPRECATION
NO TERRAIN UNEXPLORED
EROTIC LACERATIONS
SPAWNED OF MY OWN ACCORD
THE RATIONAL EXPLANATION OF…
…WHY THE SIGHT OF BLOOD LEAVES ME LONGING FOR MORE
THE TEMPERATURE DESCENDS WITHIN MY CHEST CAVITY
MURDER DENIAL IN YOUR WORLD OF FANTASY
OUR CREST IS A CESSPOOL RELENTLESSY SEIZED IN CAPTIVITY
YOU AND I MUST ARISE TO EXORCISE
THE DEMONS INSIDE THIS… FAMILY!
FEAST YOUR EYES AND BEHOLD!
MY SHOULDERS HAVE TURNED COLD
DERELICT PHILOSOPHY
HOPE’S INABILITY TO FLOWER
RESIDES WITH ATROPHY
DULLING THE EDGE OF FAITH
WITH NOTHING TO LOSE
I AM EMPOWERED
BY YOUR HAPLESS WRAITH
AS IT COWERS AWAY FROM ME
