The Rabbit Hole


Public Cemetery Party
Public Cemetery Party

Hyperspiral

Enslaved to the combine.
White tongues taste my third eye.
These gears that always grind.

My name is John Doe.
My mind's an open window.
Please try to climb inside.

Taken by hands to be cradled in fear.
But not today...

Cuz instant karma's not so simple now.
Love and instant karma's not so simple now.

Deaf ears hear all lies but,
Blind eyes fuel this combine.
And when I get out I'm gonna change your mind.

Come stay for awhile,
In our Hyperspiral!
Just don't let it steal your style

Taken by hands to be cradled in fear.
Bred by the force to be shed through the gears.
But not today...

Woe-Oh!



Blood Heaven
I may not understand.
Understand the half of what this means...
This means to me.
The birds in the forest sing.
The pleasure and the fear the darkness brings...
It brings to me!

You can put me at your altar, Fill the veins behind my eyelids with your love.
You can kiss me while the ghosts are watching, And they’ll bleed into our blood.
Heave into our blood!

And I wanna die here with you.
For the very first time, in the night,
When the wolves are crying.
I begin to feel, it's just a matter of time,
And there's just no logic left in pain.

You came in through my door,
From a subway train with a reason to get high.
Then you were mine.
The days they build and fall!
We wait so long to say the things we want.
What do we want?

You can tie me to emotions,
Tie the rope around my heart until I talk.
You can look ahead and keep on walking.
Though you’ve been around that block,
At least a thousand times.

And I wanna die here with you!
For the very first time, In the night with the angels sighing.
I begin to feel it’s just a matter of time,
And there’s just no logic left in pain.
Tell me there’s no logic left in pain.




Mutating Skulls
Take me to my place, in the wasted underground!
Cuz nothing is working out. Out...
Fuck the world!
Hey! Hey Hey!

We’re floating out in space!
(Pluto) They’re on the floor.
And aliens exist.
Yes I swear.
Yes I swear!

Take me to my place in the wasted underground.
Cuz nothing is working out. Out...
Fuck the world!
Hey! Hey Hey!




Hounds of Sound
it sleeps within my shedding skin
beneath the veil light awaits
buried in the massive chains
of fallen gods and ripping hail

hands possessed gripping at the great machine
they turn our eyes we pull our time
standing at the altar where the maker states
and with our faith we sympathize

you’ve chosen your demise

all around me substance clowns
and the hounds of sound are building rhythms
aesthetics bind them gag them blind them
turn on all your privilege into bondage

dismantle crooked lies and drown in hidden spies
in a space behind your eyes before it chokes what still survives
the light that sleeps within your shedding skin
and choose to feel then ride the wicked wheels

all around me substance clowns
and the hounds of sound are building rhythms
aesthetics bind them gag them blind them
turn on all your privilege into bondage

lured by scent of infant blood
under laboring moon night hags are prowling



Godzilla
On my own,
Far from home.
I, I.
Long I roam,
Far from home.
I, I.
Time warp into your mind boat,
Sinking too fast.
Your wise horse,
Shifting in colors,
Gone is the past.

I found the surreal, Between the moon and the sun.
I found the surreal, I found the surreal...

GODZILLA!
LIOVE MONSTER!
GOD KILLER!
GODZILLA!

Belly to belly,
Conceiving hourly,
On the ocean floor.
Fend for yourself. Run.
Or have another look,
And take your final rest with me.

GODZILLA!
LOIVE MONSTER!
GOD KILLER!
GODZILLA!




White Animal
Before his eyes are buried by flies,
Before we say our last goodbye,
While you’re still alive,
The holes get covered up,
By the insides. Yeah...
Before we cross that finish line.

Savor your soul. Savor.

I could lay down,falsehearted.
I could turn away.

I could calm down, Let my pain out.
And tell myself I’m gonna change,
This is gonna change, We’re gonna change!
I’m gonna so...

Don’t crack under the pressure.

Savor your soul.



Birds
Holding my head,
There’s nothing that I know.

Fine you told me so...

My head is a hive,
And so be it that’s why.

Fine and I suppose!

Your holding my hand,
There ain’t nothing to hold...
Yet!

So don’t let it get to you, now.
No don’t let it get to you, now.

Over my head, and everywhere I go,

Fine you told me so...

My head is inclined, To old and sinking boats,
Crimes and chemicals.

Holding my head,
There ain’t nothing to know.
Yet!

So don’t let it get to you, now.
And don’t let it get to you, now...
Now...




Cold Bodies
Year of nine
We learned through wine
Not to sing
The hymn of swine

Through vacant words
That fall like birds
From cloudy skies
Our teachers and drug dealers
Take time to eat our minds

Year of ten
We fall again
Failure born
From hidden hands

To the black surface of Kiwanis
Cold bodies rise
Mothers and fathers
Are forced to try
Identify

Cold bodies rise
Identify
Cold bodies rise
Identify



Tasted By Love
Bees swarming in the breeze
Feeding on a seduced soul
Sown by your mind alone
Seated at a psycho’s throne

Drawn in, weakened,
By the shapes she makes
Dancing slowly
In cemeteries...

Young blood is often tasted by love,
Then often wasted,
And poured back into you.

I look in to where it all begins
Now I know why you must go
So you found my wasted underground
Tell me why dos it wear off so slow

Drawn in, weakened,
By the shapes she makes
Dancing slowly
In cemeteries...

Everybody come to the public cemetery party tonight!

Young blood is often tasted by love,
Then often wasted,
And poured back into you.

I found my place
Zoo Zoo, Zoo Zoo Zoo
Zoo Zoo, Zoo Zoo Zoo
Zoo, Zoo Zoo Zoo, Zoo
In my dismay
Zoo Zoo, Zoo Zoo Zoo
Zoo Zoo, Zoo Zoo Zoo
Zoo, Zoo Zoo Zoo, Zoo



Harmony of the Spheres


Glass Leech 

Hey little flower
My pollination
We shall embrace our fate
My little bomb
My fallen angel
We all accept our fate
Each pedal that you possess will fall in time and lead to a bitter end
But with the wind you fall back to the earth and your heart may bloom again

So this is my last attempt to play pretend
As im staring down the edge and im tearing through my flesh
When what you need aint what you have that’s when you’ve lost it all
Desperately pitiful
And ive lost my will to care
As I start to disappear
Seems ive stumbled once again apon the rotting fruit of love

The East Rivers running dry
Turn into a white line
Let your flower go oh

My little torturer
Leave me your body
You are my fascination
This is no act of god
How we are dancing underneath this burning sun

As I’m falling out of place
An agile grain of sand, slipped from your little hand
The nature of your taste
The stillness of your stare
Has pierced my heart again

So this is my last attempt to play pretend
It’s just a matter of when, it happens all again
When what you feel isn’t what you have
That’s when you have it all, desperately pitiful
And ive lost my will to care as I start to disappear
Seems everyone I know is suffering and out for blood

The East Rivers running dry
Memories built on lies
Let your flower go oh

Cry, for someone else

Not me, for yourself

Bleeding Blue

I cant keep up with the thrill that you give to me
Its like swallowing super glue
Come back to check my defenses
I’m reduced to bleeding blue
To get ahead with the cross that I carry
Im gonna rip through my own flesh
Im caught between my mind and my body
I blame god I blame everyone

You touch me with a secret emotion
Don’t touch baby please hush hush
You want another mistake now
Don’t touch baby please hush hush
Why don’t you come back and make me
Don’t touch baby please hush hush
What do you think that im stupid?
Don’t touch

I’ve got to be paralyzed before I ever begin to ever try some walking again
The boys taking his time the girls letting him in
He dosent know that she wants him to die

Cheap yellow roses smell like cigarettes
We’re all working for the burial ground now
We got to get what we can get

You touch me with a secret emotion
Don’t touch baby please hush hush
I can make you feel worth it
Don’t touch baby please hush hush
Yeah I think im real close to it
Don’t touch baby please hush hush
Oh you make me feel naughty
Don’t touch

I love you, stay with me, please don’t ever leave
I know im not getting out alive


I Wanna Die

I am all alone
Listening to unatoned
Body alamode
Body freezing eyes of stone
Beating my fantasy till all the dream subsides
Maybe has come to be the one will to survive

I want to die

Nothing in my head
Nothing left between my legs
Nothing in my bed
Everything is wet and red
Beating the fantasy until all the pain subsides
Maybe has come to be my one will to survive

I want to die

Die

Friction

Open my mouth before i spoke.
Hanging my conscience from lamp posts.
Treating my body like a joke.
Burning my eyes out with this smoke.
Taking the first road far from home.
And its alright!
Let me press you once against the bathroom tiles.
Honey...
And I'll fix it, if your putting out.
Like it matters somthing to me.
And I'll finish, I'll kill the bottle!
Before it kills me...

Feel the friction.

Catching myself between the eyes.
Before I give the truth I'll stick with lies.
Why can't I just tell you what to see?
It's just a piece, its just a piece.
Of my broken shell, I got no smile honey.

Let me press you once against the bathroom tiles.
Honey...

And I love you, when I finish.
Does it kill you, when I'm in it?
Im on the wire, And I'm thinkin'.
I'm your sinner, your my sinning!

I never loved you, I just need it.
Its a plague yeah, an addiction!
So get me higher with believing.
I'm your sinner, you're my sinning!

I came fuckin' the world.

Rapids

Stack up the barrels.
Sharpen your arrows.
Prepare to battle the fists of angels.
Stack up the barrels.
Sharpen your arrows.
Prepare, they’re awakening, the ghosts of pharos!

I would give anything, I would give anything,
I would give anything to hold my sword again.
I would give anything, I would give anything,
To slaughter!

The rapids of blood.
Flooding our villages.
The rapids and floods.
This is their message.

Oh... this is sweet revenge!
My enemy we meet again.
And I'm on the verge of dying.

I got the fire, to burn this city down.
Said I got the fire, to burn this city down!

And down on your knees,
you’re whoring your dreams.
You’re whoring your dreams,
the new hollow breed shuffles in.

The rapids of blood,
Flooding our villages.
The rapids and floods.

Oh this is sweet revenge!
My enemy we meet again.
This is where I begin!
I'm on the verge of dying.


Trench Foot

Of all the grieving I was released
Amongst the vague and fluttering
I don't want to kill nobody else, sir.
But I want to save myself!

Against the crashing on guard of youth.
The softest head is bullet proof
I don't want to kill nobody else, sir.
But I want to save myself!

I don't want to kill nobody else, Sir!
So you can just die and go to hell!



The Rabbit Hole

Hot Sauce

Who do I think I am? Who do I think I am?
I don't know where I stand, I don't know where to stand.
Could you call me a man?

Well you can call me a thief, 'Cause I lie and I cheat.
But I'm just like you, And your just like me.
Just like everybody!

And all of this confusion is the last thing that I need.
So just give me some more, just give me some more, just give me some more!

The sad thing is that we’ll never survive because its easy to kill and its easy to die.
The sad thing is that we’ll never survive because its easy to kill and its easy to lie.

Aint gonna step in line, no. No way - No!
To the fine design of American life this American lie.
Got your sex dream with your cash and your limousine.
And you still want more, yeah your begging for more, your begging for more.

Give me some more!


Tiemp Cura Tiempo Mata

I’m gonna keep it out of my mind.
Don’t want to feel you pretty darlings.
Cause I know your love isn’t kind.

Stare, your stare, just a tease yeah,
So I’m leaving. This time your not fooling me.

A single wish rolls from your lips, another poison another prison...
A single wish, your finger tips, another poison another prison...

Is there something? Do you get off out of being just a problem?
In this state of this inspiration, you’re the goddess of my desperation,
And this feeling's getting stronger, getting harder,
Your just a shot to chase away the pain!

Hellion Ardor (sex jam)

Something’s got me here.
I don’t know what it is but,
I cant drink this away.
And its really got to me.
Well it has, well it should.
But I cant drink this away.

Life - I down this alone.
Letting the devils wings carry me home...

Well could this all just wash away, wash away - no it cant just wash away.
And all that I really need is your love, to not leave me totally rusted.

Flower wont you share?
It’s a night mare, oh.
Flower wont you share?
Wont you take me anywhere?

From Love

Honey Glazed Lucifer

Walking with the bomb beneath our shoes!

All that is and what will be, seems to disappear for me.
All to touch and all to see, all the odds that spun around me.
I’m good for nothing, it's good for me!
The devil may care but I’m reckless with the freaks.
In this state well I don’t want to try.
I don’t want to try, no I don’t want to try!

Living isn’t cheap just look how we abuse us.
Sit upon your hill, reaching out for something real. Us?

Rape of touch, rape of faith, every lasting inch of grace.
Take the need, to feed the leach, cause I don’t want this. I don’t want this.
Now take this air, the tar I breathe. Give me sex give me disease!
Privacy is make believe, but I don’t want it I cant have it now.

Born just to repeat, the cycle of abuse... Oh!
From your lovely hill can you feel anything real, us?
Cheating me in spite of anything that you can find, fuck you!
Well have I left my soul? Its somewhere buried in the hole I’ve dug into you!

This is all I really wanted, comfort in my atmesphere.
I’m somewhere between death and sleep, but not quite six feet down.
All the blood I have to offer, odd sex dream within a coffin.
I’m underneath my burning crosses, but not quite six feet down.


36 Dead Hookers

I can't seem to get this knife out of me!
Pull it out now made a tool of your sodomy!
You cut it off leaving me covered in blood and cum!
I don’t know where I am where I was where I’ve gone!

Liar

Tied by the hands... to the head post... of a bed.


Chunderpuss

Get this monkey off of my back, cause hes saying this and hes saying that.
And hes telling me things I don’t want to hear, every man with a brains got his head up his rear.
And the rats lay eggs in the federal court, as the paranoid junkie screams bomb in the airport.
I travel on a camel through space and time, I carry a gun and a bottle of wine.
Well life's a blank page, and we’re painting it black!
As I fall down the stairs and I try to react.
But my senses are dulled by this bottle of jack.

Yeah-hea!

And this double world is all I see!

I get it...
It’s a dirty joke - Oh!

Every body, every body's having sex, and I can't concentrate on my game of chess!
And the taste is getting old well what do you know, where did they go?

And we’re making a stash,
And we’re smoking the trash,
And we’re throwing a bash,
Yeah, we’ll listen to cash.

Wheres your bomb boy? Wheres your fashion? Ha ha ha ha!
And this double world is all I see!

And I get it...
It’s a dirty joke.

Shot in the head cause I wanted to be dead...

And I wonder what you will think, cause I’m faking, I’m faking.
But I really hate what you see when I’m naked, I’m naked.

I’m like a rock, I shut the lock on you.
I'm like a rock, I shut the lock on all of you!

And I get it, it’s a dirty joke...

I hope.


Josephina Stingray

I’m getting off on something else.
A pleasure found in pain, and I did it to my self!
I found a friend in my enemies. Oh yeah, oh yeah!
And we bleed, yes, we bleed together!

But this is not forever. Clarion bound, yeah!
And it stuck me here, chasing something better.
And this is what I came across.

I don’t believe I’ll be forgiven.
And the daylight somehow distorts my visions.
A thousand white lines of pride aint passing through me.
Tomorrow lies, it lies, never waiting for me.

All though the night my soul aint healing.
I hold on tight to how I’m feeling.
Well you can save this heart it beats no more.
Would you save me?

I am nothing, you are God.
I am nothing, you are God.
I am nothing but disaster.
I am nothing to you God.
I am nothing to your God.
I am nothing, I am disaster!

What am I thinking?
What have I left to fear?
I'm worthless, dreaming.
Of dying, dying here!

And this can’t take forever. Clarion bound, yeah!
Cause I’m dying here, thinking I’d be better.
God knows I’m better off.
God knows I’m better off.
I know I’m better off...


Bear Foot

Underneath the sheets I lay. A simple thought in mind blankets me.
Such divine touch, With my desperation.

And what do you see, Through your vacant eyes?
Of what this has become... Oh, Oh.

Digging down for truth, As all the laughter forms a circle around you.
But how far, By the hands of a stranger will you go, Into the rabbit hole?

And what do you see, Through your vacant eyes?
Of what this has become...

Hey everybody this makes me sick. I’m full of shit but your no different
I read the warning, the barrels hot. Don’t burn your lips or your finger tips!
Well lifes a bitch,
Well lifes a bitch when you’re a pessimist.

Swing Darling

I don’t need it, what I cant feel.
This selfish love is your pain that’s so surreal.
So join the nothing and join the dread.
We can laugh as the world rots till no end.

Swing my darling, my darling the bomb has dropped.
Swing my darling, my darling the doors are locked.

If your breathing, your breathing is gonna cost you.
Swing my darling... Swing away!

Well I’ve been watching but you cant see.
I touch your body you don’t feel pain.
Cause I’ve found comfort in being dead.
I’m just a recollection in your head, in your head.

Swing my darling, my darling you have gone numb.
Swing my darling, my darling my only one.
We’ve found something in nothing, its lots of fun.
Swing my darling... Swing away!

Holy Hand Grenade

Written in ink on our bodies.
Raise the price and raise the cost.
Now you veins are running oil.
Pored to fuel a burning cross.

Now a scum bucket's the kingdom.
The power trip has given birth.
Mother nature fucked and forgotten.
Childs play, a child’s curse.

I’m not a part of anything you see.
I’m standing on the side of this reality.

So take my love, for I’m a faggot.
Let your Bible be your weapon.
The teachings of your scripture give you pride.
No fucking reason why.

You’re not a part of anything I see.
I threw you on the other side of my reality.

I’ve killed before... And I bought my innocence.
I’ve killed before... And I bought my innocence.
Their trust for you, seen through a number.
My trust in you, is never clear

Holy Hand Grenade!
Pissing on the third rail

I can smell the blood beneath the gallows,
Meet with mother earth.
When my body falls from breath,
Will I still trust whats told and heard?

This collection of regrets,
Has drowned itself to numb the lies.
Listen to another preacher.
Slave to slave, pay to die!

No one is there to stop the truth.
So I will reason death is something new.

Feeling the rope get tied.
Life still in casts.
embodied border line of life and death.

Faces distort with cheap pleasure.
Eyes wide laughing with revenge.
Taking joy in this injustice.
Pay your way, get the trend?

No one is there to stop the truth.
So I will reason death is something new.

I am an angel sure to bless.
I am the devil in the flesh.
An execution gives control.
To the better half.

Oh I’ll have control, I’ll have control at last!

I feel the pain subside.
And I see my past,
Embodied border line of life and death.
My life my death.
