Father's Voice

Speak
Fill the house with your voice
Show me your will
In the grain of the wood
And in fibers of cloth
Give your servant your command
Voice of great waters
Nearer than the pulse of my heart
Thy will be done
Through my hand
Thy kingdom wrought on earth
You will be hated by all
for my name's sake
the one who endures
to the end will be saved
the suffering of now is nothing
compared with the glory that will be revealed
“The lord works in mysterious ways”
Blood to wash away blood

Every Surface an Eye

Waking to malignant light
Concrete steps of grinding teeth
Swarming in the vessel’s blood
Nestled parasitic twin
Weight of the world
Of all possible worlds
Their gaze has weight
Looks have force
Needles in my back
Laughter from all sides
Laughter from the sky
Shrinking now
Small but always seen
Grey walls
Pressing in and down
Words beneath words
There are voices pushing from underneath
Orders and threats
I feel their eyes stare right
through my skull
It never stops
I know too much
there’s no going back
Nowhere is safe
Only one way to make my escape
Through the red door

Flesh Crawling Delight
04:53
|
|||
War crimes on the screen at all times
Stream of filth to fuck my eye holes
Lies to seep into my brain stem
Trough is filled to plug my mouth up
I demand to feed more
Fill my void with your dregs
Pests under my skin writhe
Dwelling in my pit
Cradled by the blind
Poisoned synapse bliss
Self imposed abyss
Mind raped and strung out
this night starless
Thoughts turned to maggots
hollowed-out husk
Livestock for slaughter
born bound and gagged
Baptized in black plague
lusting for death
Dreams of death to drive the march on
Keep the mask on in the daylight
Whips of pigs will keep me in line
Wealth of whores and frauds to crush me
I demand a numb heart
Give to me a droid mind
Feel the worms in my flesh
Dwelling in my pit
Cradled by the blind
Poisoned synapse bliss
Self imposed abyss
Mind raped and strung out
this night starless
Thoughts turned to maggots
hollowed-out husk
Livestock for slaughter
born bound and gagged
Baptized in black plague
lusting for death

Pseudologos
02:10
|
|||
A man made of words
Crawling through the folds of mind
Weaving structures out of breath
Fragile only in the face of doubt
They can know your thoughts
If they’re the one that put them there
Justified in paranoia
Recognize that you are fucked
Smile full of razor blades
Embrace full of daggers
Putting torch to family tree
Building thrones from spines
Would you like to know the truth?
Would you like to see?
How they siphon off your soul
And leave you less than beast
False light
Mirage life
False light
Mirage life

Human Replica
05:11
|
|||
You go about your business
Without a care in the world
But deep within you know
That the cracks are
beginning to show
“Everything will be fine”
Let me disabuse you of this notion
True peace can be known
Only after your hell
has been overthrown
Believing what they told you
You built yourself a life
Not seeing the foundation
Was built upon a lie
You won't find what you seek
You're grasping at the fog
Reaching for salvation
Your back towards the dawn
You’re racing towards a chasm
With arms stretched open wide
Your coffers full of trifles
And nothing left inside
|

All that you ever wanted
My silence
My labor
The nodding of my head
The tribute at your feet
Carrot and stick on a Möbius strip
A dead eye that sees all
A dimming of the light
Near pitch black at high noon
Dwelling in the underground
Are we are not fit
to be seen in the light of day?
How sick must we be to protest
when we’re forced to dig our graves?
Lying in wait
The Lion and Snake
