Pleistocene Beast

Breathing silent hexes down the necks of every nemesis,
Teething on red and weeping breast.
Bleeding sex from beating on my chest,
New man-ape genesis.
Sweet, tender, lacerated flesh.
Mother, tear me out by the root,
With your red laid bare for the blue.
Peeling back the ceiling of the black,
The hoofbeat thunder blast.
To bone and ash, leave none intact.
Pulverizing mountains all to dust,
Behold the ebon tusk.
Behold the lord of pain and lust.
Bring the hammer down.
Drive your velvet crown into the damp ground.
Revel in the sound.
This is the showdown.
Mother, tell the soothsayer all,
Of the driftwood paling without.
Mother, I'm clawing at the walls,
Of that great, gaping mouth.

Stop telling me lies,
Stop giving me nice advice,
Your eyes wanna be televised.
Stuck-up and fuck drunk,
You better be more than luck,
You're better dead, or better, deader.
Paint the sky black and white.
You'll find your night,
Just let the bullet inside your mind.
Tear open this lonely set of rounds.
It's our secret, no one has to know.
Eat cold, hard chrome,
Let gray matter rain tonight.
Scratch the itch, bite the bullet,
Spare us all another suburbanite.
I wish I could backspace your fucking face,
You're just a waste of oxygen.
I bet you look ugly when you cry.
The end is nigh.
This fruit has gone overripe,
And rotting from the inside.
Marinate in sweet, sick, lullabies
And shut it out.
Wash out the human stain.

At Her All

Charmed, I'm sure,
By the cures that we procure,
Now so sincere with powdered armature.
Busy hands stay warm.
They never told it like this before.
I'll keep you near, electric blue and so pure.
Finally figured out,
Why I never learned to shut my mouth.
Head first into the bout,
Scatterbrained and lashing out.
Now I'll stomach anything,
A rush of blood like fuel to sing.
Metallic tongue, but new breath under my wings.
I'll fly higher with you to lift me up.
Won't let you down if you don't let me down.
Bet on me,
Cause she's at her all and I'm fed a means,
To be worth my salt,
And we can do anything,
If we can stick to the script,
So where have you been all of my life?
I guess you oughta know that you'll destroy me,
I just gotta know,
Why do you always want me to pretend we're all alone?

Your commune is slain,
The pig-shit-for-brains are all gone.
You must need a break,
To peek at the pendulum.
So great a beating escaped Avalon,
The tidal recession,
The weeping of the dawn.
I tear out my lungs and beat my hooves.
Don't fly solo.
This manifesto promised to end,
The moment it began.
Don't fly so low.
Feeding and breeding and bleeding me dry,
Maternal inferno is beating down the sky.
Slaughter the vermin that pillage the earth,
One final rebirth to return them to the dirt.
So don't you hold too tightly too the tribe,
Should you wish to stay alive.

One murky summer
A firm, didactic hand chokes
At the old sea bird

Bring Me The Moon
04:42

Gracious me,
I raise my heavy hand,
And bring her dreams to life.
My fluid grace is my rite.
My golden heart is my curse.
I let her sit by my side.
She looks at me as she should,
Appropriately contrite.
Dance for me,
When the moon is low.
Don't miss a step,
Don't let the pain show.
My deadly kindness,
Is your newest distraction.
Your place is left unfilled again,
She dares to shun a seat at my side,
One she scarcely deserves.
Can you lift me up if I know you're my possession?
Pay us the debt you owe.
I must look upon the creature,
The one that she prefers,
Glittering brightly,
As I never could.
I lose my breath,
Until I realize the beautiful truth;
A map upon its wrist,
Not foe, not precious gift.

Teriyaki Hairpiece
03:49

If insanity remains,
Locked up tight with the insane,
Let it go,
Ironclad heads will overflow.
Does it remember once breaking into existence?
Which came first, decay or resistance?
Don't burden me with your fantasy of what you can't be.
You're getting reckless with your beliefs.
Your hairpiece has now offended me.
We're all the just saucy meat.
Let reality be named,
Something sweeter to the taste.
Let the radio be the undertow.
Don't burden me with your fantasy of what you can't see.
Your hairpiece has now offended me.
This place is getting too chummy.
All sweet and savory like teriyaki.
Completely full of shit just like me.
Does it remember the scent of you from a distance?
Don't burden me with your fantasies of snakes in trees.
I can't believe what you still believe.

From winter's whiskers
A plain, wicked raven dives
In spite of the cook

Shutter eyes,
What a parasite,
Looking up at the streetlights.
Take us away from here,
Where the atmosphere,
Is thinning the night, thinning tonight.
Oh, echoes dancing on,
Find another way to give this ghost up,
Oh, keep us passing on,
Cast it off when the jig is up.
Out of line,
I'm missing memory,
Treading in a foggy, endless sea,
In a glass half-empty,
Pushing pillars, all-consuming.
Golden fragments of the truth,
Lead us out from underneath the ties of youth.
Broken pieces of my mind,
Making sense of the ghost I left behind.
Crack a smile,
The jewel of my mind,
Lowest of all, you are.
Butterflies,
Electric lullabies,
Completely customized,
Glitching and sputtering,
Tangled up in string.
The pleasure was mine every time.
You talk like too many I've tuned out.
Take me to a place so far away.
Constructed another derivative,
Imitating intimate inanimate.
Surprise!
Everyone denies their pleasure device.
Accessorize til you paralyze.
Revise all the lonely nights spent counting our lives,
That pantomimes failed to realize.

God, you're all so fucking pretty,
Just show me your ugly,
Show me that you're ugly, baby.
Time stops and then it starts,
Skips over the scars,
Reel me in again, I've gone too far.
Damning of the deft,
Burning all your breath,
Pulverize the alien collective.
A kiss to every lash,
A fist and then a flash,
Wished it all away but the whiplash.
When thoughts occur, Time Traveler,
Tune out the unfamiliar.
Bewilderment is time well spent.
You doubt but still see it so clear.
Fix this sickly meretrix,
Who talks but never ticks,
Peepshow heretics,
No new tricks.
Hexes raining from the skies,
X's on the eyes,
Vexed another god of the high rise.
