Let’s shake the world awake
Though we all die the same some are born in chains.
Dregs for the rich and fake, you’re given scrapes; there’s only so much one can take. To be under their wing is under the crown. Obey the king or maybe we should help him down.
Disable the boy to cane the man!
Unstable the herd to break the lamb!
Disable the boy to cane the man!
Force the hand of the mother from their daughters and present them like the lamb
to the slaughter. We’re like each other when the knives are in your hands.
They don’t plan to keep you whole
They intend to wear you thin. Never stone the mannequins!
For we are not alone; there are more of us than them!
And more violent than a troubled man off his medicine.
Never regret the fight to bring them down!
Mannequin, we wore the crown
Place the hand of the mother in their daughters and present them one again!
No more slaughter
We’ve got each other
But the knives are in your…
The knives are in your hands
Your hands!

Free as a bird.
What’s hard is the truth and the truth always hurts! Know what you’re worth Consider the source, they gaslight to burn
They’ll drag you through dirt—muddy the waters and tainting your word (your word)
This is absurd, just rumors from liars and fuck what you heard
Noooooooo
More running away
You can’t take it back
Say what you said
My mind degrades and my sanity fades
Ashamed of the face that I see in the blade!
Truth—underlying infection
Death is in session
Can’t face my depression
(Far from saving)
let alone my reflection
So while I’m fading…
Console these insecurities I have
And only you can wash these bloody hands
And hold me like you love me just the way I am…
These devils speak in tongues, I don’t understand a word they say till I give’m what they want
It’s everyday (everyday)
Tell me what is manic
Cause I understand the panic!
Am I everything you ever wanted?
I don’t think you have the stomach
You want the truth?
How can I say it?
We’re all gunna lose—cause some of us crave it
We live and die and selfishly until I…
I kick and fight
I’d rather die than hear your side
More times you’ve cried wolf than a dog like you should try
I beg, Scrape by
Set the ways to dregs than take your side
You’re fake
Your pride is the only thing that you personify
Red and white lies
Casting shade
Lord of the flies
Burning the stakes
Dying inside
Growing malice
Taking shit bricks and building your palace
Love me!!!
We live and die and selfishly until I…

Call of the Void

You would never recognize
Romeo if he were standing by your side
Even though we would never cross that road, you and I are suicide
Just let me say this
I believe I’m alive when air is taken from me
I believe I’m alive
To hold on is struggling
Baby take all of me
Crawl over all of me
I know you’re gifted
Get in control of me
Do it appallingly
Let’s get it twisted!
Remove the fruit from the vine but I don’t need it, yeah
Undo the roots from my spine but I ain’t leaving—I’ll be free when Death’s conceded
Though I bleed, I survive undefeated, yeah
Defuse the pulse, wave to my soul that’s leaving. I’m not grieving; loss gives me meaning
ILL-oblige Romeo
We love indecently
Formaldehyde-forever gold
The pains retreating me
Remove the truth from my eyes but I still see it, yeah
Undo the noose-loose the ties but I still feel them—Won’t stop me leaving,
what I believe in
I believe I’m alive
Yea I can feel it, oh
Consume the lungs from my side to stop my breathing… A hearts still beating—Loss gives me meaning.
I believe I’m alive…
I look down to see
You, my l'appel du vide
Let it sink in
Say la vie
L’appel du vide has got me thinkin’

Dear Optimistic
04:53
|
|||
|
We all will face the day with life we must pay
Death’s collecting and I’m here picking my pockets just trying to buy me some time
I’m done reflecting, no more swigging this bottle pretending that it’s saved my life
Mandrake
Comfrey
Bluebell
Sage
Wolfsbane
Nightshade
Dumbcane
Hopes not (losing)
Removing (movement)
Perfusion (I think not)
Just hang on
Earshot (For too long)
From life (From love)
You don’t (What you got)
Till it’s gone!
Dear optimistic, help me understand the faith in God-bless signs in derelicts hands.
Dear holistic medicine man, give me a lifeline. Give me a chance
No battle nor war that is waged,
below gravel our fate will await
So, when shadows come out to play,
dead-saddle we’ll ride to the grave!
Druids (Humans)
Toasting (Potions)
Choking (Fluids)
Must push on
Once (Upon a)
Flatline (Red rum)
Exposing (Motive)
What have I done
Give me a chance
Though we live and die fate will pacify
So, let’s live and die!
So do your worst to me!
I wanna feel pain!
So give me everything you got!
Give me your best shot!
Deaths expecting. May you fold under pressure but never cause it’s not my time
I’m protesting the price put on my life I won’t surrender to no one or nothing
I’m done with the suffering!
(Give me a sign… formaldehyde… let me survive… or let life subside)
It’s in my hands!

The Devil and I
04:23
|

|
The devil and I are discussing just what to do with you… and I’m suggesting something not even he would do.
The fire inside is jumping—is it hot enough for you? I got the devil blushing at what’s in store (for you)
Slowly she starts to wake. Oh, how her hands do shake at sharpened blades
At cuffs and cords and Polaroids
Press record
The frame is yours
Fame will be yours!
Sanity becomes a slave, shackled in this twisted, filthy, godless place
Lowered blinds
Knots and ties
Clots and flies
Rotting mind
Loaded gun
Copper tongue
What have I done?
Get out, run!
Chase.
Run!
What a scene a beauty queen all wrapped in sheets for none to see but you will scream!
So go ahead and run
Just wait and see
Yeah, just go ahead and run
Won’t you go ahead and…
You just go ahead and…
Won’t you go ahead and scream!
So go ahead and run
Run!
Yeah, you go ahead and run
Won’t you go ahead and…
Yeah, you go ahead and…
You can go ahead and run!

Welcome to America

666 black balloons to welcome you,
Welcome to America
Red for bleeding
White loss of blood
Blue for air leaving our lungs
Land of the freaks
Home of depraved
Line up the freaks
We’re all depraved
666 black balloons to welcome you
Welcome to America
We do it for LOVE and the high abuse of the DRUG that we use to dilute the BLOOD
till we’re white and blue
Oh America, It wants you
I identify dead but I’m alive
Fellow man I’ll Follow you
If you follow me too

Corpses & Queens

We’re better off dead, matter of fact, we’re dead matter. The madder we get never mattered. So what’s it matter? Mad as a hatter—she’s another red, but never red letter. It’s getting better and treasure these moments forever. Remember bloody is better.
Caught myself between
those that left and the living dead
Corpse-skinned covered queens of the damned, kid, you’re killing it
Can you believe anything?
Fuck what you said, yeah. Won’t change like the sheets on your bed, yeah!
This is the end, yeah. Sixteen hooves on the pavement.
Fuck what you said, yeah. Won’t change like the sheets on your bed, yeah.
The fires still raging.
All these hearts you’ll be staking.
Can you believe anything?
Shells and me, corpses and queens of the damned, kid, you’re killing it!
The choir in me
will make a liar in you
The louder we sing
can’t fight the pyre
Ignites the fire inside
the quiet liar in you

Death's White City
04:52

La la la la
La la la la da da
There’s no place like home
You can throw your stones
Nothing can tear us down
Nothing for you
There’s nothing I can do
Nothing can save us
No, you can’t go
Try and leave us
Never leave us
Claim your throne
We’ll trade your soul
There’s no hope—only bones
Chase you ghosts
There’s no place like home
This is open house
Don’t take your shoes off
Just take a look around
and watch the needles
Bandages for damages are customary, ordinary
The advantage is there’s no management
but the challenge is leaving’s temporary
This is your open house…
We swim in the sea of the chemicals if you feel like drowning
We’re Home of the syringic anecdote to keep you grounded
We live in the city of Nevermore, where Charming is lying
We’re all terminal—There’s no cure, only dying
This is our broken house
Hinges loosened
Failure makes us proud
and air pollution
There’s no place like home
We swim in a sea with no bottom
If you feel like downing
We put shame to the city of Sodom
So, judgments cloudy
We live in the house of the usher where
falling’s arousing
We’re all murderers (nameless here)
Evermore (forsaken here)
Disavowing…
You’re just in time
You’ll feel alive
Step inside

Wolf in Disguise

Do you ever feel you’re hanging on for your life and your grip is releasing?
Youth-if I let it go will I be caught in the rye
Or am I holding my breathing?
Do you feel like you have the right to
Treat me like you do?
So you’re sorry
But I’m mourning
Cause you’re as dead to me as the truth was to you.
Now that you are home
Now that I can’t feel
I am more alone
Now that you are here
And I do not belong
In this atmosphere
Though the heart is gone, my head is finally clear.
Do you ever feel that you’re fed nothing but lies and that you’re falling to pieces.
Truth is just a piece of mating ground for the flies and it’s up to your knees, yeah!
My head is finally clear!
What’s the point of all the mirrors in your home? Is it so you’re not alone? You’re not alone!
What’s to reflect when there’s smoke in all you own? Do you choke, do you choke?
Enlighten me so I… I won’t be ignored
The next time I call out what you are!
You’re the liar who meets the blind, you’re the axe who greets the rind, you’re the pulpit for the wolf and his disguise!
Little horn you are at least
You’re my monster underneath
of my bed and in my head
Beautiful you are the beast
Now that you are home
Now that I can’t feel
Though the heart is gone when you’re near,
my head is finally clear!

The Confessor
04:42

The needle is sterilized
I wanna feel nothing
Take me to paradise
This is my offering
Let me be paralyzed
Let me be, trust me
If I were to live a lie
I would say you make me happy
But darling no you don’t and you never did
I would call you out but you wanna live
And if you wanna shot then you’ll take a hit
I would be the one to give
nothing more than what it is
I searched my soul, I’m sorry…
It’s lost just blood clotting
Oh, blood clotting!
The scabs of a parasite
I’ve put in my body
Pic line for a lullaby
Don’t look at me oddly
I’ll be a stereotype
I’ll be your junkie
If you were to live my life
with soles worn through,
you’d trade me gladly
I like you like you like
Blood likes you like you like
love Likes you like you like
Drugs
I’ve searched my soul, I’m sorry
Nothing more I’m offering
Lost… Just blood clots.
There’s blood.

Fantastic music, and this album is a personal favorite. Great rework and quality on this release (which is the only one I've been listening to since buying them all here on BC). (PS: Will Adultery be added too sometime?)
