Bodies To Be Kicked

Bodies To Be Kicked
If you’re selling me lies
Drop ‘em in my spoon
Stir it and heat it
So sexy
Shoot me to oblivion
With a soft caress
Your poison is shared
We soak it in
Without a care
Shoot me to oblivion
Feel the cold world
Brought on by my hell
I couldn’t see
the bullshit was too thick
No one can be
Saved from misery
We can’t think
the sedative was too quick
Sad existence
I can see it now
Paralyzed
by cold, seductive lights
Wretched life don’t
Matter anyhow
We like our chains
keep us safe from normal life
I barely felt the prick
Of your endless, draining lust
Numbed to the leech’s draw
We’re no better than basement dust
No bodies to be kicked
No souls here to be damned
Poisoned without pain
You’re still our precious love

The Wretches Who Grovel

The Wretches Who Grovel
Ask yourself in the mirror, “why am I dumb?”
And how was I suckered to believe?”
The bomb you lit for the fuck of it
Cannot be undone.
The golden sow you worship and lick
Always took and never gave
No more will we think of you
Your time has ceased to be

Crushed By the Hand
Slowly Filling With Gold
I love to keep
My pockets deep
Fill them up to watch it all burn
The tears you cry
Are your water supply
They’ll quench your thirst as you plead
I’ve looked down on you
Throughout your life
I’ve witnessed sins that
You’ve given flight
You’re a creature of habit
Murder, rape and despair
Who’s going to save you
When hell is in the air?
From scorching skies
Succor won’t arrive
I watched the last bird die in your arms
We made your beds
Go ahead, sleep in
We knew you’d die, but the money was nice

They Were Buried Yesterday
I left it behind, just in time
Yet loved to roll in the broken pieces
Collapsed, I listened and I wept
Tomorrow calls with footing
We’ve been here and...
Calling friends
They’re not here and...
Are long gone
Desolving life
I lost those feelings
Awaken now
Or fall to pieces
Forward, onward, I’m tired of waste
Sweeping away the broken pieces
Avoid the fall, the hiraeth pit
Take my torch and light it
Unforgotten, loved not lost
They were buried yesterday
I, I miss you
I, I miss you

Grey
We are not that evil
Will you lend a hand
Here’s a blanket as a gift, now do as I command
Take me to your leader
If you know the way
Never mind that laser, it’s only for display
It was a close encounter of the third kind
With the last starfighter
Invasion of the body snatchers
On a planet full of apes
battlestar galactica
On the day the earth stood still
The empire struck back
A predator on forbidden planet
Was a man who fell to earth
Making contact with the ghost in the shell
In district nine
the twilight zone
Trekking stars, feeling Khan’s wrath
Dune Dune Dune Doom
As you get ready to leave
Will you give us a ride?
No
No
As your light begins to fade
Will we see you again?
No
No
No Fucking Way

We Dreamed of Flames and Suffocation
I can’t breathe anymore
When the mourning wishes for light
Why are we here again and again?
Simply fighting for your boring life
Walk in our shoes they’re right here
Feel your smothering, righteous leash
When the revolution comes
Which side will you be on?
Shall we alight them and those
Standing by offering broken hopes?
Willingly compliant no longer
Too long have we suffered underfoot
We were afraid
We are calling/ for help
We are living
We are under/ your penetrating gaze
We are fighting
Standing up for/ what you’ve taken away
And everything else denied
Take my hand and lift me up
Soar into the deep blue sky
Kiss my hand and thank me for
The love I gave every time

Almshouse Stench
Feed me to the worms
My zest for life grows cold
The chimes of fate will ring
For I see the Earth as gold
Take all the evidence
Pile it on the fire
The flames will wash away
Every last desire
Save me from this pain
For I cannot face another day
Dreadful day of rain
Plagued by this clouded fate
