- Executioner
baby you have to pay
in this way or another
in this life or in the next
for as long as we’ve known each other
you’ve been playing this game with death
one day you will be tried
on the execution line
- 700 Club
virgin mary, jesus christ
think i just found the light in your eyes
think i just became as religious as they come
i think i just found god
dumb founded by the glow of your gold halo
oh god i can't believe i'm staring at a living angel
give me a bible, i'll put my hand on it
- Barren
Curdled like milk in the summer heat,
my skull's gone soft, my head is spoiled,
my heart's a rabid dog trying to put its teeth in you.
You thought you saw light but it was forest fires
eating me alive, my limbs are dead and dry;
my ribcage cradles dirt and weeds.
I'm empty inside.
- Blood Brothers
He took me to a motel, he put me on the bed
He cut my arm open then did the same to his
The skin parted like petals on blossoming flowers
We pressed the cuts together, became one and another
Now we’re blood brothers, a part of me will always live in you, i'll love all your demons because now they're my demons too
He watched all of my hair fall out, he lifted me and kissed my scalp
- Cement
cages and cases
of starving birds, and dead things
no longer look anything like they did
when they'd been living
the things you love
you put into cement
in order to keep them
- Chapel
i’m going to get married today
the chapel is full of flowers and sage
he’ll lift up my veil and he will say
"are you sure that you love me?
are you sure you can wait?"
he cuts into the wedding cake
and licks the frosting off the blade
- Choking Games
restlessness leads to a
dangerous kind of fun
start small with swiss army knives
and water guns
criss cross apple sauce
spiders running up your back
put your arms around my neck
- Coma Baby
Coma baby
With your sick head
The doctors saved you
But you're still dead
Through your scalp
I would like to reach in
So I could pull out the monster you've been
- Creek Blues
pills eat through you like acid burning holes
through your head, your mind, your bones and enamel
handcuffed to the bed like you’re an animal
i don’t even recognize you anymore
try to put you down like an old dog to sleep
cut your branches off but you’re a dying tree
the doctors came and pulled the sheet up over your head
- Cries of the Elephant Man Bones
when you died i heard the cries in the night of your soul leaving the deformed flesh that shamed your mind, all of those years your bones wept, but now there is no skin left, the worms have eaten it you’re free to go
and i will take your bones and with them build a home
burdened at birth inside of a face no mother could love, she let them shame you like animal, they broke your limbs and beat in your swollen head til your neck shattered to pieces they put in the ground
and i will take your bones and with them build a home
- Dahmer And The Limbs
In my chest I know
How he felt when they left, when they go
Every muscle, every tendon, every bone
Screams “no, please, don’t”
And the flesh is just the flesh, just something to get past
All the tissues, all the cartilage, all of the soft fat
And if one day you must die, I want it to be
- Dog Teeth
He handed me a pair of pliers
and he told me to pull out his teeth,
because as long as he had them he'd
use them to do bad things.
You're cold on the inside,
there's a dog in your heart
and it tells you to tear everything apart.
- Fleurs Captives
press you in the pages of a hardcover book to dry like flowers and weeds
peel your petals off and slowly pull them apart to wrap in my bed sheets
to take you with me while i drift off to sleep and assemble you inside of my dreams
on a soiled mattress we drift to the attic where the dust collects on your long eyelashes
they open up the window and stand in the sunshine
but you hide in the shadows cause the light goes right through you
you're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost of my mind
- Ghosts
the autumn wind carries all of the ghosts, they catch on me and hide under his sheets, they make their nests in my clothing seams, possessing my bones and my being
we waited til the morning where the sun did rise, but the moon still lingered in his weary eyes, ghosts fill my head with such rotten things, and with the loneliness that the cold air brings
the room was dim so i doubt that he could see, my cold, shaking hands and my reddened cheeks, a part of me wished to crawl under his sheets but i sincerely doubted that we would sleep
so we waited til the morning where the sun did rise, but the moon still lingered in his weary eyes, betraying a good heart to satisfy mine but he’s a ghost i never thought i’d find
- Gold Satin Dreamer
Light bleeds in through the curtain lace
Sleep on the couch, where the flowers stay
And never bloom but only fade in the sun
I feel the bath, while I dream of a lake
I can smell the blood purged from raw steak
By the barbecue on a summer day in the sun
But I find you here
In the blue light of the TV
- Hair Lockets
Cut with dull scissors and tied with a ribbon
Curated under the glass of my pendant
You always said you hated the things you can’t control
Like all the wild hair that grows from your follicles
I've been collecting pieces of your hair
To tuck away in the locket that I wear
Pretty strands that grew in your youth
- have you seen me
Have you seen me?
I've been wandering
Out by the road
Trying to get home
He used the garbage bag
And nail gun
Do you think i look like someone
You could use to have fun?
- holes of albinos
collected all of the bones of the albinos, pounded them to dust and put them up their nose, used their knives to skin off the flesh from the limbs they bought, scalped all the heads then they said their blessings
they pulled all the teeth out with pliers in their mouths, they cut through the bone and left them without hands
collected all of the bones of the albinos, pounded them to dust and put it up their nose
- I.S.W.M.U.O.M.W.N
[Verse 1]
I wake up and I creep
Down the hall to your feet
Where I lay like a dog for you
In silk down to my knees
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Wet with spit
- In the Land
[Verse 1]
Hell has a name, “Satan’s Den”
Got the lock on the trailer, got the tape recorder in
He’s gonna strap her to the bed, spread apart her legs
And pull the soul out of the body that its in
And when he’s done he will give her to the earth
A starving animal will always feed
God as his witness he’ll smile
- Lividity
find no love in flesh but only weapons
the ones that do the most damage
there is no peace in life, but only in death
if i believe good wombs have borne bad sons
then i have no qualms using my gun
i only love the things that i can hurt
- My Baby
My baby wears all black
Says he's gonna make a hearse
Out of this Cadillac
He says I'm gonna put him in
An early grave with all the
Trouble that I make him
My baby says he loves me but I know
- My Pug
anywhere i go i'm gonna take you with me
pennsylvania, arkansas, texas and kentucky
buy a little trailer big enough for just you and me
stay up watching golden girls and i love lucy
cuddling in bed, i kiss and rub your belly
listen to you snort and wheeze whine in your sleep
greeted with wet kisses in the early morning
- Nara Dreamland
we broke into dreamland
just so we could have one more day there
but i could not stand to see it in such sad disrepair
he wanted to hold me in the roller coaster carts
sunken into the ground
all i could think about
was how much i wanted to
burn it all down
- Observatory Mansions II
Time scurries away from us like field mice
Out through the holes in our walls
Lost to the dark night
Heal me up again
Everything I love gathers dust
Inside my chest and all the love lost was
- Phantom Pains
you're the phantom pains
the ache that won't go away
never had you so how did i lose you?
i already felt you before i even knew you
i know it's just the remnants
i'm only feeling hand prints
of your past aggressions
- Please Eat
If only I could love you enough
to give you what you need.
If I only I could be for you
the hand that feeds.
'Cause I know you can only starve so much
until you like how it feels.
Sitting on a throne of bones
staring at that cold meal.
- Rampage
I hear him screaming like late night white trash TV stations
Black combat boots pacing in through the school building
He's gonna fight the good fight, the noble war
Yeah my baby has a baby but it's not me
It's an AK47 semi-automatic gun and
He loves her more than he loves me
Gunslinger, black duster, delusions of a western
He wears his hat on backwards, sets fire to his locker
- Runnin' free
The days are long, please don't go
I can't trust myself to be alone
The sun beats down
My wrists burn on the stove
In this lonely '78 motorhome
I stay here alone inside
With the Sunday dinner and the summertime flies
- Sleepy Towns and Cemeteries
he casts the kind of glow only a city knows
light creeping into the coffin
of these sleepy suburban homes
he’s so alive in the places everyone here has a hole
bury myself in the front lawn
hope he’ll come dig up my bones
streets here are cemeteries
- Smitten With You
when i see you i can't find the words to speak, my cheeks go as red as two big cherries, i try to look beautiful for you, stuffing my dress up with tissues hoping you'll notice but it's obvious and i get so embarrassed, i'm so smitten with you and everyone knows it, when you're not around i clutch my chest and say i'll look you in the eyes and not be so god damn shy but i am, i can't find the words to speak
but in my dreams i walk up to you and say "do you want a get a milkshake after the show?" you say "sure" but first i take you to a bathroom stall, give you a quick handjob and then we go, walk across the street in the snow to the restaurant, squeeze beside each other in the seat, share the same straw, leave my lipstick on the cup and lick the foam off with my tongue, flirting with the waiter when he comes, twirling my hair and batting my eye lashes like a hollywood starlet winking at the cameras and when we go i wear your coat around my shoulders and you hold my hand, you walk me home, i take you in, peel off my dress, throw you on the bed and do everything i imagined i did when i masturbated and thought about you
- Snow
There is dust inside you settling like snow
I try to catch it with my tongue
When you run your lips along my throat
There are hand prints on your throat
Parts of you are shutting down like street lights burning out
But I have always felt safest with you in the dark
I know you are nothing like him
- swan
the swan sang with a broken neck
out by the pool, behind the fence
you can’t forgive me when
you know if i had the gun i’d
choose to shoot again
he raised my hands in the backyard
he taught me to be a good shot
- Sweet Girl
you taste like sweet apple pie, with whipped cream on the side
your cum is like warm milk, your red cheeks are soft as silk
you taste like raisins in the pudding, sweet soft bugs i'm chewing
stuck between my teeth, curling the toes on my feet, you're so sweet
so i take you to the movies and then back to my house to sleep
you wear a used dirty band shirt and cute panties
whisper secrets and you kiss me
- Tammy Faye
You know how I get
With my Tammy Faye eyes
Crying, I’m a mess
Half undressed in the light of the TV
You know you’ll just have to go bury this
In the garden and leave it till there’s nothing left
For me to find, when I try to dig it up
- True Love Cafe
you have such a beautiful face
i've been dreaming about it between my legs
come over and crawl into my bed
kiss me, get me wet, give me head
make me arch my back like ice cream sundae spoons
give me afterglow as bright and daunting as the moon
rub my feet with yours when we sit in a restaurant booth
- White Trashing
empties lined along the porch
shoot them dead, show no remorse
white trashing with you
live in endless afternoon
making love to the Sunday cartoons
white trashing with you
all that glitters is not gold
