"The whip hand" lyrics
When you leave the night on
contagion's my own doublespeak
malice tends to choke my father's grip
but his hands are always clean
Walk towards the light
karmaless, your fetish in me
you make me older
swatting flies in the vaseline
I'm not getting any better
in this plot of dormant waste
thorns decipher, teeth serrated
in the venom I awake
That's when I disconnect from you
That's when I disconnect from you
That's when I disconnect from you
That's when I disconnect from you
No turning back now
too many shovels past the rubicon
Must I desecrate it?
Why can't you tell me where you've gone?
Christened to die
Paranoia lays hoax and device
just when I find out
boils only multiply
Where the moon has burned her spirits
in the stem of higher self
you will hardly ever hear it
cause you're never even there
That's when I disconnect from you
That's when I disconnect from you
That's when I disconnect from you
That's when I disconnect from you
I am a landmine, I am a landmine
So don't just step on me, no don't just step on me
I am a landmine, a landmine
And I can blossom in the petals of an ECT |

"Aegis" lyrics
The days are catching up to me
my unconscious fear unbound
Is it time to tailor fit the notion
that come Sunday I'm in the ground?
The obelisk fumes have occupied
emphatically austere
a smelter pile made by the debt collector
where the children should be seen, not heard
Even if there is no way back home
I'm not running away
I'm not running away
I'm not running away
I'm not running away
Can you hear him saber rattling
with bones I've left behind?
Obloquy is the bulwark of his implants
am I your son or just a clone?
Dasehra, you were sworn to be
a window to my night
my subterfuge, just branches to the mandrake
where the children should be seen, not heard
Even if there is no way back home
I'm not running away
I'm not running away
I'm not running away
I'm not running away
Under the aegis of cognition
I am dead, I will escape
Engrammic marks of ligature
I am dead, I will escape
Under the aegis of cognition
I am dead, I will escape
Engrammic marks of ligature
am I dead, will I escape?
I'm not running away
I'm not running away
I'm not running away
I'm not running away |

"Dyslexicon" lyrics
Nature red in tooth and claw
I haven't seemed to keep my powder dry
I always seem to hear it in your laughter
The second that I fell in love
with the handle of your revolver
I always seem to hear it in your laughter
I begged to you a second chance
a dried white rose from Bethlehem
I always seem to hear it in your laughter
Am I the valency that you deny?
In the time of the sixth sun
we are cattle to the prod
and I burn this dictionary
because its my dyslexicon
When I collapse and bury all the things unconsciously I hear
cackling in chloroform this spectre will ensnare
I always seem to hear it in your laughter
A braided strand from children's manes
acquired with impunity
I always seem to hear it in your laughter
The things you say to me
are deaf in tongue
I always seem to hear it in your laughter
Am I the valency that you deny?
In the time of the sixth sun
we are cattle to the prod
and I burn this dictionary
because its my dyslexicon
Have you ever tasted heaven
stood the mother filled with grief
in the wake of Monday mourning
finds the seventh day
If fate is your endearment
through pistil and through stem
in the wake of Monday mourning
finds the seventh day
And on the seventh day
you will come to find
my prism is not colorblind
in death's mosaic spirit
finds the seventh day
That's why I repent
that's why I go under
that's why I repent for the night
In the time of the sixth sun
we are cattle to the prod
and I burn this dictionary
because its my dyslexicon |

"Empty vessels makes the loudest sound" lyrics
if I trust in the wind she will pave me a different road
I will try and start over but I think I must choose someone else
I am pulled from the pages where the letters lack the pigment of trust
must be on my way, I've got to get home
won't be back someday, so let it unfold
I've abandoned the outcome in search of the rest I deserve
you can do what you will with my body but I won't ring the bell
I've omitted the chapters that bow and admit defeat
must be on my way, I've got to get home
won't be back someday, so let it unfold
I am a mountain
of cavernous people
searching for a lighthouse in the fog
of the flowers that grew from the cracks in the ground you paved
didn't you think he would warn me through the thorns of my waking dreams
when the riddles connected the dots of this constellation
must be on my way, I've got to get home
won't be back someday, so let it unfold
I am a mountain
of cavernous people
searching for a lighthouse in the fog
I found a reason to leave you with this load
all I can do is forgive your broken heart
trapped in this tower made of amber for too long
all I can do is forgive your broken heart |

"The malkin jewel" lyrics
I must've crawled through your bedroom door in a fit of jealous breath
perched upon the Bacchus foot of your unsuspecting bed
from the blossom rags of my jackal croon to the stems of the cinquefoil
I give to you the shrapnel with which to sprinkle in a soil because
all the traps in the cellar go clickety clack
because you know I always set them for you
all the rats in the cellar form a vermin of steps
you know they're going to take me to you
you wash it down with harlot soap well is this what you want
I'll paint your steps with the lilac stains of a smelter revenant
my cutlery is rattling in the dormant wooden drawers
from the palm of my throne I'm begging you to cut the orchid cord because
all the traps in the cellar go clickety clack
because you know I always set them for you
all the rats in the cellar form a vermin of steps
you know they're going to take me to you
I know a girl that was woven in spindle and thread
trapped in the bivouac of taffeta scaffolding wed
she tosses and turns and wakes all the children in beds
yawning with hunger they take turns of nourishment
and she says
somebody help me
is there anybody that can set me free
from the mountains of avarice they sent me to you
my ankle turns flesh to gravel |

"Lapochka" lyrics
how long must I wait
till the mountains of avarice turn blue
how long must I wait
till the moleskin I pick becomes fuse
- in the pinches of my earth
the dust I kick - animal shelters
recorded on my reels of tape the trauma stops my flow
and in your suppression taste sulfur
hear the children say
-
how long must I wait
till the mountains of avarice turn blue
how long must I wait
till the moleskin I pick becomes fuse
as it suddenly your avalanche
reverses my polarity
and secretly come Sunday morning
- pulpit to an empty room
hear the children say
-
how long must I wait
till the mountains of avarice turn blue
how long must I wait
till the moleskin I pick becomes fuse
the drowning water
you drink
passed on by birth
I'm no longer willing to give you control |

"In absentia" lyrics
there was once a boy
with - in his voice
all he wanted
all he wanted was a little affection
until one day he came
to tempt his mother's taste
all she wanted
all she wanted was to spread her infection
-
- to mend
her broken flesh
they've stolen all of my love
buried in absentia
can you hear in my vitreous heart
breaking in absentia
-
-
I won't ever let you go
they've stolen all of my love
yes they've stolen all of my love
-
-
does it want some
does it want a little insurrection
-
-
- incision
- a reason
I've just got to get out of here
-
- to mend
-
they've stolen all of my love
buried in absentia
can you hear in my vitreous heart
breaking in absentia
-
-
I won't ever let you go
they've stolen all of my love
yes they've stolen all of my love
taken by the night
dying of remembrance
check the puzzle does it fit
I am alpha and omega
and on the seventh day I rise
past the pains of my resistance
when the son gives up his throne
what becomes of this -
Dasehra
make these shackles go away
Dasehra
won't you help me stand my ground if I should fall
Dasehra
as long as I am injured
Dasehra
as long as I remember |

"Imago" lyrics
My anguish told you
a persistent lie
The parasitic psychics that you push by wheel
were spoken to me every time
And like a charlatan
you counterfeit the vessels through flesh and time
These pacts we keep in secret
drinking from a well that was killed by drought
My torment adores you
when my strings are tied
Out of compulsion I must decimate
the sapless embryonic miles
My anguish told you
a persistent lie
The parasitic psychics that you push by wheel
were spoken to me every time
And like a charlatan
you counterfeit the vessels through flesh and time
These pacts we keep in secret
drinking from a well that was killed by drought
My knives are barrowed voices
glistened by the handles so they won't let go
These limbs are out of reaches
extensions of a spirit that is not controlled
My heart is trapped inside
and I refuse to accept this throne
My night's unfolding
reads like a page of test results
This sterile codex
is missing all my last resolve
And like a charlatan
you counterfeit the vessels through flesh and time
These pacts we keep in secret
drinking from a well that was killed by drought
And like a charlatan
you counterfeit the vessels through flesh and time
These pacts we keep in secret
drinking from a well that was killed by drought |

"Molochwalker" lyrics
For all this fire we never heard
shanks round the bend
when you're foaming at the rim
On your serrated edge
you're like a snail that's dead
the hiss I make is warning to the scalpel
When you walk the plank, tell me what you see
Moloch in the time of mutiny
When the body wants to fix this frame
a guilty presence starts to fill our cape
born into the strangle, fists around the neck
The hiss I make is warning with extreme prejudice
When you walk the plank, tell me what you see
Moloch in the time of mutiny
Half of the time
murdering clean
standing in filth
gets no relief
Half of the time
murdering clean
don't roll your eyes
standing empty
Where I'm going
you've taken your sign
stand on your own
standing empty
What answer until now
must you give?
Won't you tell my fingers
to spell extinction? |

"Trinkets pale of moon" lyrics
By the landfill I rest
I burn their clothing before I dig into the ground
I am Janus-faced denial with vines
you'll wish you hadn't run
Calalia is calling me
I hear the hums of tiny beating drums
I feigned umbrage at my bruising fist
you'll wish you hadn't run
And with these trinkets pale of moon
senescent charms become a bludgeon of wrinkles
when I nurse your tired heart
And every time you hear the screams
of lullabies collapsing
walk towards the echo and let it hold you trembling
Their gourds are punctured easily
amnesia fumes in little twists of silk
induce this multistrobe with melody
you'll wish you hadn't run
I sing here at the seedy urn
my father taught me when I was young
you wear the tattered fringe of hangnail regalia
you'll wish you hadn't run
And with these trinkets pale of moon
senescent charms become a bludgeon of wrinkles
when I nurse your tired heart
And every time you hear the scream
of lullabies collapsing
walk towards the echo and let it hold you trembling |

"Vedamalady" lyrics
Here it comes again
mesh of arms travels up my neck
Morning dawn and calls itself
and mirrors stare back at my reflection
And I'm alone, I'm alone at night
I want winter to fall on me
And I'm alone, I'm alone in flight
I am free of equity
Where did I go wrong
I've got a sneaking suspicion that I'm under
A tantric connivance
I'm ripped and in ruins
Here it comes again
malady of Veda in your ears
Flood the doubts that those...
I can't stop myself because
And I'm alone, I'm alone at night
I will set my father free
And I'm alone, I'm alone in flight
My mother holds the lock and key
Where did I go wrong
I've got a sneaking suspicion it ain't over
A tantric connivance
I'm ripped and in ruins
Long way patience to drown
of friends that you won't say for me
Long way patience to drown
spit through my spiral, I danced with delay
Long way patience to drown
you call me, I answer and all I can do is obey
Long way patience to drown
I can't hold my breath for this long
And I'm alone, I'm alone at night
I wanna set my father free
And I'm alone, I'm alone in flight
My mother holds the lock and key
Where did I go wrong
I got a sneaking suspicion it ain't over
I won't let you, I won't let them
set me to repeat |

"Zed and two naughts" lyrics
I'm not breathing any better
mallets crack with every grin
I hear a scraping plea of branches
against my broken window
I won't let you in
the silhouette holds me under
can poke me with these pins
flotsam drip of nectar
the nexus bean sprouting
when she says
Saint Christopher
don't go wandering
with no one left to save
because no one's at the wheel
and the claps of thunder
from a gash of - rain
this bed will never rest you
the answers in the sermon
I won't let you in
-
a wasted dusk of kin
propulsion turns to nectar
when the pigment leaves the body
when she says
Saint Christopher
don't go wandering
with no one left to save
because no one's at the wheel
-
crawling like an animal
hold your breath it's feeding time
in this zed and two naughts
painted a fulcrum of caves
piled with dreams of
phantom masses made of pastures
labyrinth setting, cystic maze
I've been hanging wreaths of cancer
on every door where children sing
watch it all blister |
