DAUGHTERS SPELLED WRONG

I've been called a sinner,
Wrong doer, evil doer, worker of iniquity,
Transgressor, bad example,
Scoundrel, villain, knave, miscreant,
Viper, wretch, the devil incarnate,
Monster, demon, fallen angel, murderer and thief,
Lost sheep, black sheep, black guard, loafer, sneak,
A good for nothin’, fuckin’ son of a bitch...
Yeah I've been called a sinner

FIERY

We agreed this city was like a morgue
You said we would liven things up around here

This is red when we paint the walls with fire and pools of cream
This is my mouth with sharp silver teeth and our implausible dream
These are the blues when sung to you by blue lips like you've never seen

Will the smoke leave us time?
Or has someone extinguished your fire?
Maybe you'd rather be left behind?

This is how it sells when there is no product in the store
This is how we enter when there are no handles on the door
This is sleep when they remove the warmth from our little house
This is how you glow burning there as quiet as a mouse

RECORDED INSIDE A PYRAMID

I wear my sickness like a, like a wedding band
I've been touching myself all day with a hammer and nail
I’m the flat-footed, mule-faced-fucker, the shit-bird-derelict-king
I drew a portrait of how I think I'd look with my hands around my own throat

If you could see me now...

I have all the makings of a despicable man, all the qualifications of your best friends.
If this wasn’t in my way I’d cover there and show you what’s makes a man making a man

“If that girl could see me now”

Fingers like a bookmark, reaching into my chest and saving that empty page

If you could see me now...

I am just a face connected to an appetite demanding self abuse
I feed myself by the handful like your kids at a petting zoo
I am just a face connected to an appetite demanding self abuse
I feed myself by the handful like your kids at a petting zoo

X-RAY

Could I maybe be a little bit more naive?
Slide my shoes off my feet and
Rest myself in that seat
I call at fuckin’ one
At two 
At three
I'm drunk and hard and half asleep

Someone is out there
It's more than I can bear
Now shifting from side to side, playing along
Still hanging up furious when somebody answers the phone
Alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone  
But I know where to go

FEISTY SNAKE-WOMAN

It was hot and the summer was long, or so I'm told
I slept through it all 
When I awoke a vicious dark hung in the sky
My surroundings foreign and discomforting
I staggered to my shoeless hooves and ventured down the only path I could find
At first there wasn't much life to be seen 
But then there she was
An eyesore, 
My private whore

Reptile tail
Reptile female

Serpent beauty, sat upon her front porch
Coaxing me to her side 
To go down 
Then as I caressed her scaly hide
I fuckin’ knew I would be going down
You know the type
She'll sell you the road, but she won't point the way home

I only wish to tell you my story, dear reader, kind friend
It's too late for me but you still have a chance
If she finds you she will consume you
She will love you like she loved me
Then down, down, down
To where I fell
Where I burn

PROVIDENCE BY GASLIGHT

That skinny frame,
That tired act
She's uninteresting wearing all that black
Still she could be such a little girl sometimes
Whining and kicking
Throwing herself from moving vehicles
Running and running

Her raven breast, empty and cold
Pushing my face up against the door
It's another night here in something city
It's another night with her goin’ somewhere shitty

Into the cold city night she goes
Running and running 

I wanna tell her "Little girl, you run too far in the dark and you get yourself lost”
Then like a banshee she screams
And I say god damn
You may ask  
"She can't really be that stupid can she?"

CHYPERVENTILATIONSYSTEM

Cannibal!
I've no fight left, my calloused benefactor
You unconscionable shit-titan
Have you come to rid the world of my unhealthy smell?
Have you come to claim my soul?
Love is a disgusting thing
The rapist of my being

CROTCH BUFFET

When you are inside, it is pure
Unadulterated
Unbelievable

You are the one I want to nail to the floor
I want our sex to smell like your death
The blood was warm ‘till you hit the floor and spread your arms out like Christ
Now tell me about death
Tell me about disease
There is no other way to live

CHEERS PRICKS

I can't keep my eye from twitching
I can't make sense of this
If it's ringing in my head or in my ears
I cannot tell the difference

I'm wishing I was a bit more educated
You're wishing for a belt of human hair and teeth (mine) 
You want to know what it takes to make this young man weep
You've researched how to break my bones and skin me alive
You want to put me in a traveling show
Five bodies
Zero sleep

You’ve sent out on a limb to hang myself high above these dirty streets
/Limbo/

It’s getting louder 
I think it knows my name
I awoke in the middle of the night to find it standing in my doorway
/Purgatory/

Is it over yet?
Is this all there is? 
Am I speaking only in vowels here?
Am I a mime
A swollen tongue
Am I here?
I am
/Hell/

Can anybody hear me out there? 
Put me down like a horse with a broken leg
An old dog foaming at the mouth
Tie a chain around my ankle and take me out to the blackest deepest sea
Carry me out to the town square
Put me on the guillotine
/The End/

THE FUCK WHISPERER

Don't waste your time running
I'm taking over the controls of your vessel

I know the location of your thermal exhaust port
Your star of death
Like a Roman candle when you go off

There will be no leap into hyperspace
A.N.D…It’s already too late

Your fleet is lost, you are floating alone 
A.N.D…It’s already too late

I’ve studied the weaknesses in your defenses
A.N.D…It’s already too late

I’ve penetrated the hull 
A.N.D…It’s already too late
