1. Hey, Cruel World.

"Hey, cruel world
You don't have what it takes
We don't need your faith.
We've got fucking fate.

Hey, cruel world
You don't have what it takes
We don't need your faith.
We've got fucking fate.

Creator
Preserver
Destroyer
Ask which one i am.
There's no drugged-out devils or
Square-halo angels
Walking among us.

I am among no one
I am among no one
I am among no one
No one

Hey, cruel world
You don't have what it takes
We don't need your faith.
We've got fucking fate.
Fate
Fate
Fate

The center of the universe
Cannot exist
When there are no,
No edges
The center of the universe
Cannot exist
When there are no,
No edges

Hey, cruel world
You don't have what it takes
We don't need your faith.
We've got fucking fate.
Fate
Fate
Fate

Fate

Fate, fate, fate
Fate, fate, fate

I am among no one
I am among no one
I am among no one
No one

Hey, cruel world
You don't have what it takes
We don't need your faith.
We've got fucking fate.
Fate
Fate
Fate
Fate
Fate
Fate."




2. No Reflection

"Oh, ah ah ah ah
Oh, ah ah ah ah, oh

Crushing, cheating, changing.
Am I deaf or dead?
Is this constricting construction
Or just streets with rusty signs
Of something violent coming?

Oh, ah ah ah ah
Oh, ah ah ah ah, oh

This'll hurt you worse than me.
I'm weak, seven days, I'm weak.
Don't run from me. I won't
Bother counting one, two, three...

I don't know which me that I love.
Got no reflection.
I don't know which me that I love.
Got no reflection.

Show myself how to make a noose
A gun's cliche, and a razor too
I'm not a deathshare vacation, vacant station
Made of scars and filled with my old wounds

Oh, ah ah ah ah
Oh, ah ah ah ah, oh

This'll hurt you worse than me.
I'm weak, seven days, I'm weak.
Don't run from me. I won't
Bother counting one, two, three...

I don't know which me that I love.
Got no reflection.
I don't know which me that I love.
Got no reflection.

You don't even want to know what I'm gonna do to you.
You don't even want to know what I'm gonna do to you.
You don't even want to know what I'm gonna do to you.
You don't even want to know what I'm gonna do to you.

I don't know which me that I love.
Got no reflection.
I don't know which me that I love.
Got no reflection.

No Reflection.
No Reflection.

I've got no reflection."




3. Pistol Whipped

"You look so pretty
When you cry.
Don’t wanna hit you
But the only thing,
Between our love is
(1) a bloody nose
(2) a busted lip
(3) a blackened eye

You look so pretty
When you cry.
Don’t wanna hit you
But the only thing,
Between our love is
(1) a bloody nose
(2) a busted lip
(3) a blackened eye

You’re a little pistol
And i’m fucking pistol whipped
You’re a little pistol
And i’m fucking pistol whipped

(cock, cock, cock it)

When i undo my belt,
You melt and you walk away
With a red, red, red welt
(or so they say)

When i undo my belt,
You melt and you walk away
With a red, red, red welt
(or so they say)

You’re a little pistol
And i’m fucking pistol whipped
You’re a little pistol
And i’m fucking pistol whipped

I wanna have your ache
And beat you too
I wanna have your ache
And beat you too
I wanna have your ache
And beat you too
I wanna have your ache
And beat you too

You’re a little pistol
And i’m fucking pistol whipped
You’re a little pistol
And i’m fucking pistol whipped

(cock, cock, cock it)"




4. Overneath (The Path Of Misery)

"Stare into my Kodaсhrome
Jackhammer eyes never thought you'd see the ashphalt
Crack, crack, crack like a black eggshell Don't ever say I never warned you from the start
Don't ever say I never warned you from the start
You're not a shovel and I'm not your dirt
Is there any way to unswallow my pride
Can I fuck myself down
While I die you can kill the father
DAD is missing an E
No Macbeth confessed Oedipus
no longer present tense
No Macbeth confessed Oedipus
No longer pre-sentence
No, no, no, no, no reason
No, no, no, no, no reason
No, no, no, no
No reason
I am overneath
I am overneath
I won't regret letting you live
Even if you forgot what you never saved me from
So I say whatever or for never
For, for, for, for fallen for never
For, for, for, for fallen for never
For, for, for, for fallen for never
Whatever
The rape of Persephone was coreographed by all the wrong Greeks
The rape of Persephone was a marketing scheme
Rape, rape, rape Persephone
Rape, rape, rape Persephone
Rape, rape, rape Persephone
Rape, rape, rape Persephone
I am overneath
I am overneath I am overneath I am overneath
No, no, no, no, no reason
No, no, no, no, no reason
No, no, no, no
No reason."




5. Slow-Mo-Tion

"You’ve got your
Hell’s teeth
Smiling at you.
It keeps your brain safe,
As it all eats at your face…

And don’t worry,
We’ll ‘blur it out’
And no one
Ever will know,
Oh
No, oh oh oh

This is my beautiful show
And everything is shot
In slo-motion
This is my beautiful show
And everything is shot
In slo-motion

Slo-mo-tion

Pump in the laughter
Of dead-audience applause
And teenage rape candidates
I think we got ourselves
A ‘real hit’
Don’t we wish
That we had something
More than
Hate amber panic
And panic
Morbid panic
Hate and morbid panic

This is my beautiful show
And everything is shot
In slo-motion
This is my beautiful show
And everything is shot
In slo-motion

Slo-mo-tion

I’m the host with vaseline
I hide behind bulletproof glass
And i can feel your tits
With my brand new camera
(equipped with a flash)
Fast-food-nude
I hate you all
But somehow
You find me…
Incredibly charming

This is my beautiful show
And everything is shot
In slo-motion
(incredibly charming)
This is my beautiful show
And everything is shot
In slo-motion

Slo-mo-tion
(incredibly charming)
Slo-mo-tion
(incredibly charming)

This is my beautiful show
And everything is shot
In slo-motion."




6. The Gardener

"I’m not man enough to be human
But i’m trying to fit in
And i’m learning to fake it

Don’t ever meet their friends
It tells you too much
Or not enough
Or worse
Exactly the wrong thing
Every nuance
Every detail
Every movement
Every smell
Sound
Phrase
The way she laughs
These are the things that you obsessively fetishize
Or make yourself grow to love
But you are supposed to be done growing
She is still growing
Its like a garden with two flowers
One just blooming and casting a shadow
Just like yours
Then it becomes struggle
Of sunlight
Or rain
Or weeds
She and every she
Is doomed to be your idea of her
She and every she
Is doomed to be your idea of her

I’m not man enough to be human
But i’m trying to fit in
And i’m learning to fa fa fake it
Fa fa fa fa fake it
Fa fa fa fa fake it
Ffffffffffffffake it

But worse so,
Back to the point
You are no longer the flower
And the sun
And most importantly the garden
Or the gardener

A muse
Your amusement
I am used
Its all ruined if you meet their friends

She and every she
Is doomed to be your idea of her
I’m not man enough to be human
But i’m trying to fit in
And i’m learning to fa fa fa fake it
Fa fa fa fa fake it
Fa fa fa fa fake it
Fa fa fa fa fake it
Ffffffffffffffake it

You never wanted
To share
Your concept of your creation
With any other gods or worshippers
Your book isn’t burned
It was never written
Your book isn’t burned
It was never written

I’m not man enough to be human
But i’m trying to fit in
And i’m learning to fa fa fa fake it
Fa fa fa fa fake it
Fa fa fa fa fake it
Fa fa fa fa fake it
Ffffffffffffffake it."




7. The Flowers Of Evil

"The day they covered us in the dirt
like stars in the ground
that will grow into dead flowers
The day they covered us in the dirt
like stars in the ground
that will grow into dead flowers
Your body's on me
like sleepless spiders.

Your touch is so empty
Your touch is so empty
Your bodies on me like
sleepless spiders.
Your touch is so empty
Your touch is so empty
Your touch is so empty
Your touch is so empty

I've been running
from the bloodless
for fear of exile
for all of my sorceries
that shun the light
I've been running
from the bloodless
for fear of exile
for all of my sorceries
that shun the light
The day they covered us in the dirt
like scars in the ground
that will grow into dead flowers
The day they covered us in the dirt
like scars in the ground
that will grow into dead flowers

I've been running
from the bloodless
for fear of exile
for all of my sorceries
that shun the light
I've been running
from the bloodless
for fear of exile
for all of my sorceries
that shun the light,
light,
light,
light,
light."




8. Children Of Cain

"Sacrifice won’t suffice
resurrection needs your death
to happen twice
fall on my heart
and burn and forge
your tortured black-smitten
into the sharpest, fucking sword
don’t assume that I’m always with you
It’s just where my mortal body happens to be

No Sineater to slay
Us Children of Cain
Watching monkey suicide,
Sunday AIDS and church wine wash it away

Christ consciousness
manifest to the Golden Ratio
5 or 500 years ago
We were 15 foot high
And to die
was a Bardot Bridge(t)
We never thought we’d cross
To burn down behind and below

No Sineater to slay
Us Children of Cain
Watching monkey suicide,
Sunday AIDS and church wine wash it away

Don’t assume that I’m always with you
It’s just where my mortal body happens to be
So take your little black book
I see the way that you look in to it
I’ll eat it and I’ll cut my tongue
And all the pages you spread,
Sweet as honey you said
But I’m choking on your bitter stories

No Sineater to slay
Us Children of Cain
Watching monkey suicide,
Sunday AIDS and church wine wash it away
Sunday AIDS and church wine wash it away."




9. Disengaged

"And I could look into the
crowded morgue of mistakes
the sun stopped its smile
and frowned on me too
my re-built/re-mastered heart
is smashed into its faces
and its face is confused
I cut my throat in two
I said “sorry” to you,
for being a fool
but I didn’t forgiveness.
It was regret,
not an apology
it was regret
regret
regret

Dis
Dis
Dis
Disengaged
Dis
Dis
Dis
Disengaged

You’re with me, against me
but the only thing forever is hate
I forget what i saw
before and after that day
I’d trade all I was worth
to make myself in to
the handsomest gun
and put the diamond bullet
into your
404 ERROR face.

Dis
Dis
Dis
Disengaged
Dis
Dis
Dis
Disengaged

You’re with me, against me
but the only thing forever is hate
and I’m an event,
everybody knows
you decide if you can live
or you decide to let someone
decide for you.

Dis
Dis
Dis
Disengaged
Dis
Dis
Dis
Disengaged

You’re with me, against me
but the only thing forever is hate."




10. Lay Down Your Goddamn Arms

"I'm not of this world
You're not in this heart
This isn't in me
I'm not of this world
You're no in this heart
This isn't in me
To open the box
You can't shoot the lock
I hide everything
So you can't see

Wanna fight?
Wanna fuck?
Wanna die?
Try your luck. . .
Lay down your goddamn arms

Wanna fight?
Wanna fuck?
Wanna die?
Try your luck. . .
Lay down your goddamn arms

There isn't a key,
You can use one me
There isn't a key,
So lay down your arms
Arms
Arms

You're a book
Every page is written
In words
I cannot read

So I burn
Gotta burn
Gotta burn
Gotta burn it

So I burn
Gotta burn
Gotta burn
Gotta burn it

Wanna fight?
Wanna fuck?
Wanna die?
Try your luck. . .
Lay down your goddamn arms."




11. Murderers Are Getting Prettier Every Day

"Do you always
have to hire actors,
to play the devils
that talk me
out of my
sui-sites?
You’re just
a ring tone,
that happens when
you get sick enough
to call the one
with bullet holes,
bullet holes for eyes

Fall on your knees
I hear the horrid voices
of someone else’s angels
Fall on your knees
I hear the horrid voices
of someone else’s angels

I broken open the box
when I spoke the spell
and I became
an entrance wound
to your bedroom grave,
and I was paid
with the shadow of consensual rape
Your ransom note
is quoted by,
your death and
birth certificates
and all of your love,
and all of your love letters
read just like my will

Fall on your knees
I hear the horrid voices
of someone else’s angels
Fall on your knees
I hear the horrid voices
of someone else’s angels

I don’t have to see
to know that murderers
are getting prettier
every day
I don’t have to see
to know that murderers
are getting prettier
every day
Fall on your knees
I hear the horrid voices
of someone else’s angels."




12. Born Villain

"Stare into my Kodachrome jackhammer I-eyes never thought you’d see
The asphalt crack-crack-crack like a black eggshell

Don’t ever say I never warned you from the start
Don’t ever say I never warned you from the start
You’re not a shovel and I’m not your dirt

Manson: “Life is but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more: this is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, that signifies nothing.”

“Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.”

Is there any way to unswallow my pride?
Can I fuck myself down?
Why die when you can kill the father?

Your Macbeth confessed Oedipus no longer present-tense
Your Macbeth confessed Oedipus no longer pre-sentence
No, no, no, no, no reason
No, no, no, no, no reason
No, no, no, no, no reason

I can never leave
I can never leave

Black Woman: “Come, you spirits that tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here…”

“Come, you spirits
That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here,
And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full
Of direst cruelty.”

I won’t regret letting you live
Even if you forgot what you never saved me from
So I say whatever or for never
For, for, for, for, for, for never
For, for, for, for, for, for never
For, for, for, for, for, for never
Whatever

The rape of Persephone was choreographed by all the wrong Greeks
The rape of Persephone was a marketing scheme

Rape, rape, rape Persephone
Rape, rape, rape Persephone
Rape, rape, rape Persephone
Rape, rape, rape Persephone

I can never leave
I can never leave

Manson: “The wages of sin is death. Nothing in his life became him like the leaving it.”

“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

“But I have spoke
With one that saw him die; who did report
That very frankly he confessed his treasons,
Implor’d your Highness’ pardon, and set forth
A deep repentance. Nothing in his life
Became him like the leaving it.”

I can never leave
I can never leave

No, no, no, no, no, no reason
No, no, no, no, no, no reason
No, no, no, no, no reason."




13. Breaking The Same Old Ground

"Breaking The Same Old Ground And then I found how to be what you want

When I was out looking for something new Digging too deep
and now it’s too late
we just keep on
breaking the same old ground So you think that I asked for this
well, let me show you
what I think of your lips
And you think that I asked for this
come on,
use your fist And then I found how to be what you want

When I was out looking for something new Digging too deep
and now it’s too late
we just keep on
breaking the same old ground So you think that I asked for this
well, let me show you
what I think of your lips
And you think that I asked for this
come on,
use your fist When I found how to be what you want

I was out looking for something new
digging too deep
now it’s too late
we just keep on
breaking the same old ground breaking the same old ground

Shhhhhh…
Shhhhhh… I am owned by death.

And,I’m in love with oblivion I am owned by death
And, I’m in love with oblivion."
