Condition is a fictitious, feeble rendition
Got the patient thinking this is an intelligence mission
Tell the doctor not to bother with the slightest incision
Sudden psychiatric trauma
Call his mama, just missed him
As the rain drop, hark!
Don't make a heartbeat stop
This record isn't pop
Okay, it's kind of pop
Locked down, fucked up, tied up in knots?
Just listen to the medicine man and the vision he's got
I wander through the hospital
I think I pissed my pants a little
Oh Jesus, can't you be civil, and please grant my soul acquittal from these lies?
This labyrinth in my mind: it's no surprise; I've found this place unkind
Help me make the world a little bit brighter
Request denied
Vultures dressed in crimson decor
Jackals in the hall, pawing at the door
Hunted down as I'm crawling on fours then choked on the knoll and thrown into Hades
Cut this flesh under this moon
Let the demon outside that's within you
Our shadow bids you welcome to this cataclysmic, atavistic animal doom
She stepped out onto the bridge overlooking the River Kanawaha
Asked some pale boy for a pic, then flipped, and let the wind break her fall
(Oh my God! Miss! No!)
And as she hit the water, he remarked, "How stunning! How brave!"
Tossed me his phone, asked for a pic of his own, then plummeted down into the same grave
Where should I begin?
Don't need no medicine
But then again, lately I've been in a tailspin
Wrecked my body long ago before such pleasant damage to my mind
Idiot genius that I am, I couldn't find a better rhyme
Calculate entropy
Snap the neck
Suck out the juices
Dwindling company
Put me together
Rip me to pieces
This old man.... Mister...
(Mr. Howell?)
Howell! That's it-- sat outside the donut shop on Patterson, and he would sing
"How they're gonna say they love you when you're dead and gone
I want to die right here in the parking lot, punk"
How they're gonna say they love you when you're dead and gone
Where should I begin?
Don't need no medicine
But then again, lately I've been in a tailspin
Calculate entropy
Snap the neck
Suck out the juices
Dwindling company
Put me together
Rip me to pieces
Consummate this decay
Cease to be
Back to the forest
Misery, company
Polish a turd and call it a chorus
Thank you for coming, I'm honored
So good to see you! How are you?
How is your son and your daughter?
Oh, thank you, thank you so much! Thank you!
Thank you for coming, I'm honored
How is your mother and father?
No further questions, your honor
Thank you, there will be no encore
Yet...anyway... what was I going to say?

So, tell me, where then will you run when the world tells you they're done?
Now that your life has meaning, I need you...
The price of a bruise, consenting abuse: she's watching the news again
The violence it soothes, until it is you, and then it's a huge offense
The captions are on, a murderous song for those who can't understand
The chapel will fall
The sucker cabal will suffer to all who can
Let the stone take you under to your home down below
Open your veins, pour out some wine
Now that your life has meaning, I need you to sacrifice
They tuck you in, cut your throat, cover your mouth with throw pillows
Feel you move, heal no wound
Now, no body will bother you
Sleep tight... as a noose
Our recommendations are catered to your ass
Anticipation is killing my patience
Where is my sequel?
I need another hit
Give me some more pascifi-tainment
In the light, there's a human with the teleprompter eyes
These are my red carpet feet
Stampede!
Wash them for me
Don't disagree
They are the enemy
We are the royalty
Open your veins, pour up some wine
Now that your life has meaning, I need you to sacrifice
Now that your life has meaning, I need you to think of mine
Open your veins, pour up some wine
Give me some more
Give me some more
Now that your life has meaning, I need you to... think about it
Your death will make more than you create
Your slate will be wiped clean
Think about it
Your name will be redeemed
Think about it

Slime (ft. Jacob Walsh)

Dedicated to slime
All you self-righteous swine
All the piety, irony
Look at you shine
Time to dehumanize
A fake savior that's white and got a Marxist hard-on raging tonight
She gripes:
"I'm not a person
We are a movement
There's too many bootlickers in my city
So we turn 'em out, or else we burn 'em down
We got these pigs turned chickenshit and back to clowns
Our town"
Now, pull it to the fringe
Slide left
Oh, collectivism from the feds
Slime, bleggh
There's a mountain, and a molehill, and a means to an end
Let's murder our friends as we pray for their sins
If Christ were alive, he would crucify them
And as God as our witness, let judgment commence
Cast off heretics onto ships that sink
Ransack the schoolhouse and police precinct
Castrate the heathens who dare not to think individualism is fucking extinct
Overzealotry will fertilize our trees
Underwhelmed atheistic Jesus freaks
No one will question our belief
You will be slime
Bet when I come up for air
You will just never be there
Even if you do not care
Evil will never be fair
Even if you are prepared
Let me just humbly declare
I am the purge that you thought was absurd but the word is you're woke and aware
Killing the stairs
Villain beware
Vagabond Capricorn heir
So glamorous
Magnanimous
An adequate fanatic animus
The casket that popped itself open that Lucifer blessed with a curse & an omen to torment the tourists of misguided morals
Ejaculate into the void
Now, pull it to the fringe
Slide right
Oh, a new fascism on the trend
Slime, ayyck
Oh my God, it's tempting to just fall into the muck, become one
Our redemption is a "Hollywoo" construct
Genuflect and respect the text our prophets brought to light
You'll find you'll grow to like this hive mind
When you are slime
Oh, what beautiful irony: dying as we're awakening

The Safe Word
04:02

Fat fuck but I, self pity, have none
Dom daddy hot wax dripping candles
Come handy with the average handle
Thick witted wretchedness, color me handsome
Step ladder that I've been for the raptors
Get ragged been commanded by the bastards
No matter how I divvy up the factors
Sick of the pedigree, want to be master
Chokeholds with adjustable tightness
Eyes rolls to the back of your eyelids
Blindfolded, ropes on your prizes
Ripping up your nightgown, tied down, aight then
Reckless, you slither on my tentacle
Consent to desecrate the catacombs
Expect to beat it like an animal
Just sign and add your initial
Don't speak
The safe word is a cardinal choice
Your carnage is a part of me unleashed
Whatever gets you tethered
Lick my leather and submit to me
Commit me to one thing
Permit me to you
Tell the farmer that his daughter got some bad news
We forgot to use a condom, or what have you
I'ma come up on him waving like a sand dune
Congrats, granddad, now say, 'thank you'
Repetition for a stockpile of cashews
Burn the bridges from the bitches in the past, dude
Sow my seeds into rapturous pastures
Just moved past you
God bless, achoo
Got a waterboarding fantasy to manifest
Got your daughter underwater and she's pantiless
I'm just fortunate to be equipped to handle it
At first I was a candidate, and now I am a catalyst
She smokes that dope that makes your eyes go psycho
Tripping balls saying "God is in my pine cone"
The lunatic in me will spread this sacrificial ointment
Then reinsert the charge to express my disappointment
Don't speak
The safe word is a cardinal choice
Your carnage is a part of me unleashed
Whatever brings you pleasure in your nethers now belongs to me
Commit me to one thing
Commit me to one thing
Permit me to you
Commit me to one being/thing
Permit me to ruin you
The safe word is a cardinal choice
Your carnage is a part of me unleashed

Witches Wind

Gather and be told
A cup of cocoa isn't warmth
Only fire keeps the sisters of the moonlight off your porch
In the fullest moon, the silver light is oddly cool
See the sisters dancing skyclad in the field to lure the fool
Oh, the shepherd's weak
The witches watch him drink his keep while statuettes of Mother Mary watch the children sleep
Only with blood spilled from child to stone can they raise an evil unknown
So keep your family safe at home or their next child will be your own
When the werewolves howl, and the sky turns black, the witches wind blows on your back
Can you hear them screech out in the yard?
First, the floorboards creak
Now, the door's ajar
Only with blood spilled from child to stone can they raise an evil unknown
So keep your family safe at home or their next child will be your own
Only with blood spilled from child to stone can they raise an evil unknown
So keep your family safe at home or their next child will be your own
Oh, mercy
I cannot tell you if a prayer does any good but I say 'em each night regardless
Mercy, I cannot tell you if a prayer does any good but I say 'em each morn regardless
Mercy, I cannot tell you if a prayer will do you any good
It's your life alone
When the morning comes, the shepherd rises with the sun
Stumbling feet and mumbling words to curse the night for being done
But the quiet looms for much too long
Go to check their room, but the child is gone

What can I say?
Has it been a bit too odd?
To shoulder the weight of my ego is something to applaud
Have a panic attack
Like a tattered flag dropped on a marble slab
Oh the way it cools your temperature like the fall of autumn leaves surrounds the summer's final chord
Take a bottle
Take a bow
Congratulate yourself
No one cares how the artist struggles to make paintings and quaint things upon the shelf
Woesome I
But I don't want to die
Oh let me sleep through the night
Bind me to this art
For when my soul departs
A piece of me will live eternally inside the measures, notes, and rhymes
A flicker of my poltergeist
Of me
The midnight is endless
And the void offers no less
In a Godless life of circumstances, we offer hopelessness
Tell my witness, I was wrong, and to teach the children right
Because the world is indifferent to what you had hoped to try
Out the casket blooms a flower
And some say it's a sign
But there's no proof Heaven is truth
For the time being, I'll stay alive
Oh, everything is hunky dory fine
Yeah, everything is hunky dory fine
Everything is hunky dory fine
See me smiling?
I'm smiling
Everything is hunky dory fine
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Woesome I
But I don't want to die
How long until the sun will rise?
Bind me to this art
For when my soul departs
A piece of me will live eternally inside the measures, notes, and rhymes
A flicker of my poltergeist
Of me
Wake me up, alien
I'm only sleeping temporarily
