LYRICS
ALKALImy skin is opaque
like white seaweed
shallow and weak
i have no feeling
see through me
(nothing ever makes it better)
see through me
(even though i try not to be)
a most worthless shell
like a ghost in a dream
transcending light
like satin white sheen
can i ask you something?
do you see me near you?
slowly glowing all bright
alkali
you make it all clear
nothing makes it better
fucking insulting that you don’t believe
i find it repulsive the way you perceive me
and you’ll just enjoy the pain
it will just fall away down
and you’ll just enjoy the pain
it’s just a flesh wound
flesh wound
it’s fucking disgusting the way you deceive
i find it horrific the way you reprieve
and you’ll just enjoy the pain
it will just fall away down
and you’ll just enjoy the pain
it’s just a flesh wound
it’s just a flesh would
fucking revolting the way you achieve
i find it abhorrent the way you don’t leave me
sink your fucking teeth into a word of advice
approximate the value of not living your life
multiply it twice by the cost of your soul
divide it by the mass of you filling a hole
and you’ll just enjoy the pain
it will just fall away down
and you’ll just enjoy the pain
it’s just a flesh wound
it’s just a flesh would
did you ever end up wanting something so bad that it gave you pain?
uncontrollable hunger that makes you do anything?
you would kill everything that gets in your way with only the blink of an eye
there is no other thing that you can do but hurt all day and all night
and you feel what i got
desire unfurling
and you need what i got
with fire and burning
there’s a moment of truth when you accept your fate and can never look back
when you know your release is your destiny and your mark is of ash
and the angels will sing to you again
and the angels will bring you to the end
and you feel what i got
desire unfurling
and you need what i got
with fire and burning
hollow and open
so wretched and bad
faulty, revolting
dejected and sad
broken emotion
she turns into stone
empty inside her
just skin on her bones
shadow of fate
center of coal
beautiful life
covered and cold
useless and easy
so worn out and had
shallow and evil
infected and mad
broken emotion
she turns into stone
empty inside her
just skin on her bones
shadow of fate
center of coal
beautiful life
covered and cold
alighted you’re so beautiful
and glowing with a sheen
i like you when you’re merciful
but this is just a dream
and when i’m in your company
you make the world so small
nothing else else is happening
because i’m with it all
i’m so blessed by your presence
alighted you’re so horrible
a human guillotine
my time with you unlivable
a crucified machine
and when i’m in your company
you make the world so sick
risen from an effigy
yeah decency was stripped
i could come up with another way to keep things perfect for you
then you could finally be happy
then you’d stop blowing up at me
i could come up with another way to tell you i’m leaving you
then we could finally have closure
then you could finally forget me
i sweared you were the one for me
i feared it would come to this
i cared only for knowing you
i’m scared that it’s all going down
to hell
i could forgive your shortcomings if you’d promise to be different
then we’d finally be together
then we’d finally live forever
heaven have you turned away?
you know everything is getting worse
and everyday – it all degrades
turns to gray and i just wait
hanging on
every word you say
and i’m waiting for my angel
soon she’ll be mine
if you’d ever notice
if you’d take the time
to look around you
it’s so sad
the things once good
have all gone dark
and broken down
face you with disdainment
dirty falter
discontentment
like a vulture
waiting silent
patient with resentment
blackbird – overt – selfless – inert x2
watch out
it’s coming down
30 feet tall
angry animal
like a bad trip
with a new trick
patient with resentment
just when you think you’ve got it all
melting inside you
just when you think you’ve had enough
I’ll be right here with you
just when you think you’ve got it all
melting inside you
just when you think you’ve had enough
I’ll be right here with you
right here with you x4
he’ll bring you down
and leave you in smoke (all by yourself)
and tear you apart
in monotone (all by yourself)
he’ll pull you down
and take you through hell (all by yourself)
so guard yourself, guard yourself well
follow the pathway
ignore the decay
your life is okay
pleasure is a sunday
you’re falling over in
you’re falling over him
you’re falling head over
you’ll follow anyone
anyone
adore the display
ignore the dismay
your life is okay
pleasure is a sunday
you’re failing over in
you’re failing over him
you’re failing head over
you’ll follow anyone
all you save yourself if you’re feeling like you can believe in someone, if you’re feeling like you can
and all i’ve ever done for you
you had no time to see it through
i gave you all you’d ever need
i gave the cross from which i bleed
you know that when the shit goes down
you’ll know the wearer of the crown
you’ll have to find your path again
you know you’d follow anything
anything
all you save yourself if you’re feeling like you can believe in someone, if you’re feeling like you can
you know you’d follow
anyone
you know you’d follow
anything
you know you’d follow
anyone you know
i’m picking it apart while the pieces are left
as i disintegrate into my own bereft
sifting through the fragments cause there’s oceans of loss
sorting through the ashes and the particles lost
micro termination is all i have here
gripping to illusions all rooted in fear
rotten overlays masking up all the proof
as i lay in my grid and uncover the truth
just finish it off
there’s a place where you get where you’ve had just enough
and there’s a point where you take more than you ever should of
and there’s a day where you come to the face of the end
where realize you should have never began
there’s a place in your head where the people are dust
and the beauty of life is you have none to trust
you’ve exceeded the verge of the limits you’re in
so the question becomes not if but when
finish it off
become your none
CAN YOU FIND GOD?visceral stream
instictively
all searching for
one to believe
never to leave
the one with all
is there a thing?
humanities king?
we’re waiting for?
i can’t help but doubt it just by the way things are
hey man can’t you live on your own?
hey man can’t you just be alone?
hey man can’t you live your own plan?
isn’t it just enough to be just a human?
and he will come to save us all
no matter how far we down we fall
you know the end is here for us
so you had better find your god
it’s blasphemy?
to question the thing
that we can’t see
then i’m already
so definitely
going down
i can’t believe
in these things that you sell so well
i guess i’ll just end up falling my way to hell
can you find god?
ORANGE INSECTdesolation comes to mind when i would think about the time
you ruined me for my whole life now is the day when you see open wounds
i don’t feel nothing at all
i don’t feel nothing at all
i don’t feel nothing at all
cause there’s nothing to feel for you
devastation comes behind withered waves of broken time
you ruined me for my whole life now is the time for you to die
it’s all in my mind it’s all in my head
when i remove you
i don’t feel nothing at all
cause there’s nothing to feel for you
cut you down
you gave me nothing
but ammunition
and heaven told me the truth
that i had something to do
and it’s to end the facade
and it’s a mission from god
head up son
just like an animal i come
over vilified
where malevolence becomes
from end the end of the worst place
to the face of the blessed
i’m an army of evil that nobody can suppress
and now i know my way
the path was given to me
and it’s the life that i’ll take
that makes me finally awake
i am the seeker in the dark
and i will break you all apart
now there is nothing i can’t do
cause my commitment is true
cause it’s now head up son
just like an animal i come
over vilified
where malevolence becomes
from end the end of the worst place
to the face of the blessed
i am an army of evil that nobody can suppress
useless fucking people spreading themselves everywhere
empty they come breeding more awful human beings
fuck you
there’s something wrong with everyone of us
fuck you
there’s not a single one that i’d ever trust
fuck you
there’s something wrong with everyone of us
fuck you
you’re like the poison that infects defenseless minds
you’re like the evil that’s marauding all mankind
you’re like the millions who will kill in their gods name
the only difference is you need someone to blame
you want somebody to hate
you’re the pandemic that is eating up the earth
no way to stop it cause of unrelenting thirst
the burning hunger that will set us all aflame
you blow apart when you have no one to blame
you want somebody to hate
you need somebody to hate
