again
this could not happen again
this is that once in a lifetime
this is that thrill divine
what's more
this never happened before
though i have prayed for a lifetime
that one such as you
would suddenly be mine
again
this could not happen again
this is that once in a lifetime
this is that thrill divine
for when
this never happens again
we'll have this moment forever
but never ever again

off the hook

this pain
was too great to carry
is this what the goddess requires?
our hopes
were so merry and many
before they all up and expired
the visionary
she tells you when to move and think
but gives you no cause for recourse
my name, crystalline and tattooed
geometry sprawled across my back
ink so preciously saved in
my skin, asking the questions
of fellow oracle soothing with
no answer to be held inside
my heart
like sand through your fingertips
i criticize your method of expression
your hazy days melt like your throat-aches
pressed against the walls my fingers build
to dam up your breathing, like sickness does
you're leaking lighter fluid and i'm a match
tinder-swept aside for the clearing.
more hiss than bark now, i said,
"letting you off the hook"
sounds so painful
if you've ever
caught a
fish
visionary

still called a war
02:14
|
|||
|
i swear that statue of our liberty is undressed
'cuz it's the year of yellow journalism excess
you gotta read between the lines for their message
I reckon everybody knows that they're trying to keep us guessing
better run us all down that's the president's suggestion 'cuz us
counterculture f[] keep getting in position
wipe us out, pull the plug, leave the worst of us alive
so you can always keep a trophy and tell your kids why
puppeteer their minds as you tuck them in with fiction
put these kids to sleep to lucid dream with Richard Nixon
Darwin probably guessed that you'd
domesticate the savages and
sold you all the ammo you could
hold and plenty bandages, huh?
[]
it's still called a war if you're armed to the teeth
it's still called a war when you die in your seat
it's still called a war if you're scared every day
it's still called a war when your scars don't fade
spectacular oracle framing the question
without your suggestions for posturing
development of the elements
digging up offices lost in the fall of
america's very own Babylon
tower of babel 9-to-5 off the wall
false prophet babbling black mold on to your
happy meal as soon as you seal the deal to
steal for the devil
to peel back your skin and reveal
teal alien scale forced to blissfully kneel to the
ugliest god you believe is real it's
just your friendly neighborhood white man
ignore the dead bodies in his garbage can

ziggurat / sleep spell

DOMINA, give us power
To send through thee
our final plea
Pray now, twisted buil der
Of faraway
Whom spread decay
Rain down, twisted tower
Our Babalon
Our families gone
Master of transmission
Let me speak to her
When thoughts collide, we are your crossfire
When we connect to find evil beyond this world
Retrieve your heart, silence can play no part
Cut through these chains, let me free, please just let us be free

never

i've given chase for so many hours and oh so many days
if i knew better, i'd probably say she's got away
if that's the case i'm never giving up the search
either way, we'll be together if i have to scour the entire earth
I don't know what to say to you.
I hope you do the things you want to do.
Finally, you found me and I have never been so happy.
Finally, you found me and I have never
Finally, you found me and I have never
Finally, you found me and I have never
Finally, you found me and I don't know what to say
don't know what to say
she makes it hard to believe that she's been 'round here before
if i knew better i'd probably settle for more
it's such a shame to lay the blame, settle the score
either way, the evidence knows - you bet i'll track you down, yeah i swear
I don't know what to say to you.
I hope you do the things you want to do.
Finally, you found me and I have never
Finally, you found me and I have never

return the favor
03:02
|
|||
|
now i'll go change the world without you
but you better know i'd stop the world to be at your side
i know you don't wanna hear anything about it
you'd rather step away and fade away with time
i was rubber to your glue no doubt about it
and i know we're better off without it
so why'd you gotta go and steal the world away
i was here for you but now you wanna hide it
what about all my time
give it back baby, give it back now baby
too much spent on you
give it back baby, give it back i know you can't
return the favor
you can't return the favor now
you can't return the favor
you couldn't do it and i knew you never would
now let me be real with you for a second
its obvious you don't learn from your lessons
otherwise you would have stuck around
instead of making me feel like i'm just your lost and found
what about my heart
give it back baby, give it back now baby
forever apart now
give it back baby, give it back i know you can't
return that favor
you can't return that favor now
you can't return that favor
you weren't brave enough i know
you aren't brave enough

it takes years

Stranded, Left behind
In the trash of this world
That took our minds
Famished and slaughtered
You rise with this broken edge
You know, this is not the end of our quest
You know
Stranded, Left behind
Stranded, Left behind
Battered and broken
You continue without rest
You know, you'll never return to your nest
You know
you see what you want to see
sparrows dancing at your feet
leaving insight to never repeat
no survivors, no one's left free
i'm a sacrifice often, i know it
every time you tire of growth
let's burn the witch, who's the
victim here, who committed this sin
the crime of knowing my boundaries-broken-bled-cut
it takes years to believe that i don't deserve
your enmeshment, its abuse!
"I'm trying to fit you in!"
yet you prey on the strong to cater to your sins?
so tell me your backup plan
have you learned to fend
for yourself, ill take a stab
at it, you wish for this to end.
"i'm sorry. you can't escape"
i might as well take that bait &
break some necks but wait --
nothing more. you can't relate
Stranded, Left behind
Stranded, Lost my mind
Stranded

interdiction
03:12
|
|||
|
You are punished by god, you rise to her task, you live in her mask
No:
I'm not the kind of girl that accepts this kind of punishment
Neither will my heart survive rebellious abandonment
Take away my halo now you know i don't deserve it
Eradicate the interloper holed up in the cabinet
Radical magical energy making me bleed (from the inside out)
Dastardly demoness spreading her envy & greed (and she feeds on doubt)
Interest stretching her visuals literal
Damage be leavin' her mentally liminal
Correction sir, I'm an android! Pinnochio, real [],
talk to the hand unless you want to get destroyed
Silence, eternal pain
Complaint at your side holds my reservation to your soul
We are punished by god
her sword in our heart 'til death do us part
I'm not the kind of mercenary with whom you want to cross swords
Objectively your blade would break in front of your whole horde
Nice of you to donate, but i wonder where your blood went,
I'm ready for the ritual at present
Silence, say not your real name
My love, that's all you need
My love an eternal bondage
I'm not the kind of bull that you want to get gored with,
I'm evil and im hungry and thats how ill clean your bones, bitch
I've got a lot to say but im that done-with-words-now bored witch,
You're gonna have to find the tomb of Gxd but that's why you're so prone, shit!
Do have to educate you constantly?
Give me a break, i'm speaking to you honestly
We've had a lot of fights and you're always fucking losing
I'm waiting for you to join me of your choosing
This is interdiction
Your purgatory
Our purgatory

everybody wanna be

everybody wanna be the best accept the test accept their death become the pest clean up the mess the people left behind
everybody wanna be
everybody wanna be []
everybody wanna be
a wannabe impostor
a fraud before a master
pawn played by a captor
i see this shit move faster
watch me roll up on your crib and spell just like a caster
watch me flexing odd just like a gangster playing pastor
watch me learn your moves and ill repeat them even faste[]
watch me giving head to demons angels and these bast[]
rain on your parade before the clouds make way for sunbeam
that's the way i light it up [] smoking all the goo[]
breathing in your thickness like a filter for that cornfeed
let me give what you want and all your body ever need
everybody's faking it, the mask they make's so so-so
everybody's making it so bad i want to go []
everybody's faking it, the mask they make's so so-so
take that shit out of my face, take it away
bad boys dying for a chance
bad bitches swaying in a trance
all i gotta do is dance.
my semiotics make you wet
i bet i even necromance
your dead heart moving with the beat
i can see the future walking down the street.
when i circulate the blood down to your feet
i know you're blushing now you hear this
tongue move and you sense defeat
it's always on your mind []
i'm about to help you unwind []
you know how i can stop time []
so tell your guy to watch or leave
'cuz now your body all mine
that's the way i like it making choices like a pilot
on the automatic process dealing pleasure to the prophets
so the world can keep on turning and my words all turn a profit
so of course you lay it down and let me hack into your sockets
eve[]y's fa[]g it, the mask they make's so s[]
everybody's making it so bad i want to go []
everybody's faking it, the mask they make's so so[]so
take that shit out of my face, take it away[]
back that booty up to hard drive
but save some money for the deep dive []
scuba is my middle name no breathing
i'm the next reason for the season
'cuz i spring into action for a reason
feel the waves coming i'm a pleaser
no i don't gotta do no research
the experiment be all we ever neede[]
everybody wanna be
everybody wanna be
everybody wanna [] dissected on my bedside
everybody wan[] the answer to my whole life
i just want you to stay on my good side when
everybody else j[] playing games to take it for a ride
so s[] down and tell me what you think you provide
no wannabes apply inside so i d[] waste
[] time

wishing i were elsewhere
04:28
|
|||
|
i don't wanna live my life
wishing i were elsewhere
i don't wanna end my life
knowing that i couldn't be there
twilight will find us with symbols
of unending sorrow
when statues fall and cities burn
where is our tomorrow?
ashes, we all fall down
ashes, we all fall down
ashes, we all fall down
we all fall, we all fall, we all fall down

(Sometimes you aren't the one)
Sometimes you aren't the one
You're not the person you think you are
And you're offshore, in a bubble
All to yourself
Hello my old love,
don't play these games.
Hello my old flame,
don't waste my time.
Hello my old flame (do what you do)
don't play these games (with my only heart)
Hello my old flame (do what you must)
don't waste my time (with these stupid thoughts)
Didn't we do all, didn't we do all that we could
Didn't we do all, didn't we do all that we could
Didn't we do all, didn't we do all that we could
Didn't we do all, didn't we do all that we could?
(do what you do with my only heart)
(do what you must with these stupid thoughts)
(Didn't we do all, didn't we do all that we could?)
Sometimes you aren't the one
You're not the person you think you are
And you're offshore, in a bubble
All to yourself[]
