Vergil exclaims A change of heart Godlike in pain Pathetic quiet The tears of Christ Cut from the eyes Distant oration Pathetic quiet In liberty I'll leave it behind

One Month 01:52
Pierced glass Broken skin Fat bulges forth and Blood coalesces Tears not shed Relinquish control and Comfort your friends and Die Stitch Place of standing Slip of the tongue Blood on the floor Laws without morals are useless Blood on the floor Light of the mind
3.
The Idiot 03:38
Breathe in Breathe in Keep breathing in Fill your bags with Stagnant time and Echo shelters Sit in delight Resume your life Stand in the road Speak as if never spoken to Fall down the well No roots, no hell We enter separate homes We share nothing All hope
4.
Cop 02:31
Expose your throat Rear your head Silence! Silence! Silence! In defense we wed You'll never feel The elation of being wanted At the point of collapse A cry for loss Inept and silent Reduced in all but name Cemented in contrary emotional politics Silence! Silence! Silence! Compensation to the families of artists! Cry for the death of art! First sex Now art Make up your fucking mind Become unhinged Or get in the fucking line You child! You cunt! Stab me in the throat or let me continue!

Optimal point of concern I died so I could come back I'm hurting on purpose in solitude I am the tree cut down Mouth opened and Fucked to health I'm sorry you're sorry I'm glad you're well Celebrate the return of judiciary solace I must keep us awake Prosper Perish Answer Reflex I'll converse fluently In the language of subtlety It is not my native tongue But I wear it well Optimal point of concern I died so I could come back!

Footsteps in the snow Merely resting Pushed in falter Seemingly Only seemingly Remain with roots in the soil Father! I know how you feel! Mother! Thank Christ you know it's real! Lead by example Crush the roots Cut it down Manage Remain

Leather 03:19
Glistening mimetics It's okay to be alive To respect But not prosper To fail To fail To fail again Throw away aesthetics Destroy past revelations They lie and cloud judgement Destroy aesthetics Substance limited And fail again Destroyed Fucked to health Denied Past revelations They lie And cloud your judgement So you will fail again

One Of Many 02:01
NO WORDS ONLY SOUNDS

Drowned in solid air Knife to the temple Painless desecration But it's enough To be complete To show mechanics Effective My eye Sees nothing But all of it And I wish to see more Diagnostic revised in extremis Disciplinary physical politics Learn the pattern Go to 10 The mechanics of solitude Light content weaponised Syndication to become complete Resign your hunger Tap the source Tap the source!
11.
Sertraline 03:26
The pain of being right Held down by airtight boots Gravity condescending Desecration of silence! Of art! Of time! Of cash! Of sex! In death we trust In life we end FUCKED CLEAN End funny! Tell a joke where no one falls down and roar the punchline until your lungs pierce themselves! Tired of your shit! Tired of your melodramatic sex death! Clean until the end! Covered in piss! Dead before dawn! WORK CONQUERS ALL WORK CONQUERS ALL WORK CONQUERS ALL

Sun ravaged skin removed Pent up remission Stuck on a pike and lulled to sleep My friends lie full and barbed inane In no one's name In no one's name I ride the tail Flowing down I make my name In no one's name And walk for miles My son weeps On a table and I say No! It's not real! I am not here and Art is dead! Atrophy only gets me off Cut your body up Clean in the end Haute bourgeoisie concern! I am no longer burdened And I walk for miles On this table Weeping as the knife is drawn Screaming "ART IS DEAD!"

In Your Name 04:12
I'll change myself In your name I'll live forever In your name I'll beat one half to death In your name I'll marry your mind In your name I'll cut out my skull In your name I'll replace it with fortitude In your name I'll love you forever In your name
