The Invocation / For The Love Of God 04:22

♪ I gave my flesh and blood for you I crucified myself all for you Until my final warning These corpses ever burning Lucifer lights the path for you And all for you He fell for you, foolish but true Against all odds, and still he'd Choose the fire, burning brighter still My will be done, the morning sun So please don't pray for me I march to freedom Save your snide and pompous pleas Don't pray for me I march for thee Don't block the sun all for the love of god. I gave my flesh and blood for you I crucified myself all for you Until my final warning These corpses ever burning I've simplified your right to choose And as for you Oh how you grew only to prove This choice of fruit was meant to Burn the liars, hung to dry here still All will be done, through all action So please don't pray for me I march to freedom Save your snide and pompous pleas Don't pray for me I march for thee Don't block the sun all for the love of god. ♪ So please don't pray for me I march to freedom Save your snide and pompous pleas Don't pray for me I march for thee Don't block the sun all for the love of god.

Stark Empty Sky 02:45
lyrics

♪ Ever are immune to the visual creeds The static on your TV With mind wide-empty, so violent and free Forging the chains, ever bound to their dreams There are no problems identified Grifting is easy all by design With bowing heads all manifesting flies Ignoring the sight of the stark empty sky Narrow their sights toward the worried and sny Refuse to view past two sides Splitting the herd, turning on eachother The pigpen laughs as brother will kill brother There are no problems identified Grifting is easy all by design With bowing heads all manifesting flies Ignoring the sight of the stark empty sky ♪ Oh the light is pure white It shines ever bright What beautiful making for this war tonight And as I ignite The enemy's sights No questions in mind Only fury and might Reactions so bold Prophecies foretold The rhyme is so old As reasons still unfold And as I cut my brother's throat by knife I'll bow to my lord toward the stark empty sky! Empty sky, empty sky, empty sky.

People lock and step away from Saint Paul Antonio Run broken by this bitter world My blood might flood and overwhelm The cup, it runs with red quite well People lock and step away from Saint Paul Antonio Run broken by this bitter world My blood might flood and overwhelm The cup, it runs with red quite well Pray, tell, prey tell Pray, tell, prey tell Love was a promised note to be cashed another day All leaders step aside and sway, turn this way My lamb, my goat, my Holy Ghost You are the one I pray the most But you don't know me You wouldn't touch me You can't feel me No, you won't heal me Don't come near me Know your enemies Turn your back suddenly Here's my charity Pray, tell, prey tell Pray, tell, prey tell These days I'm not much quite myself These days I'm living hell ♪ Touched by burning sun My own holy one The mess you made And all I gave Your fall from grace Nesting hate People lock and step away from Saint Paul Antonio Run broken by this bitter world My blood might flood and overwhelm The cup, it runs with red quite well People bow their heads and pray To the real king of the slaves Kill overseas by missile Preach oh how brave I'm doped, you know I'm tethered by a rope You seek the light a God could never show Pray, tell, prey tell Pray, tell, prey tell These days I'm not much quite myself These days I'm living hell

Dirty Rotten (Dirty) 02:27
lyrics

♪ Big rock hurling light years out in space Little man knocks reality on its face Lookin' for a quick and easy escape Easiest way to harness and sedate Got enough time to kill? Love it or hate you've got to admit Isn't it a thrill? And it's all that they've wanted, you and more Distilling life down to its core Every human is a star Well it's all rotten dirty now ♪ Junkie man playin the part of a bigger fish The dopamine rush, wasted time well worth it Battery acid locked outside the door Well equipped details demonize the poor Living inverted, chew On a fantasy you couldn't ignore Isn't it so cool? And it's all that they've wanted, you and more Distilling life down to its core Every human is a star Well it's all dirty rotten now ♪

♪ I haven't had a drink Not one in the past week Doctor I swear I'm clean I still have one pill left I've since been saving it For when it feels needed Take it away from me Taken away from me You try and yet they can't I'll latch on seamlessly I don't care what you think I'm just a mental freak In my head You're a sharp shooter Go on man, chew her Down the river, toward the bed I'm a mind reader Open wide, tighter God's a parasitic regret ♪ I haven't had to think Not once in the past week I think I'll join the dream I've got my goalpost set To move before it's hit And then we'll see who's weak Don't try to talk to me Don't throw big words at me I'm humble, don't forget I'll take the mile sent Repurposing your inch And then I'll beg and beg In my head You're a sharp shooter Go on man, chew her Down the river, toward the bed I'm a mind reader Open wide, tighter God's a parasitic regret It all seems so easy Big man must still love me Despite your flaws in hand There never was a we I take it all for me Returning nothing left Sucking the life from me Sucking the life from me You scream and yet you can't I am the parasite Feeding on tears you cry Don't bother you're worthless In my head You're a sharp shooter Go on man, chew her Down the river, toward the bed I'm a mind reader Open wide, tighter God's a parasitic regret You'll get a mouthful of lead ♪ God please, I'm on my knees Release, or ease I cannot breathe God please, a lamb must eat I taste the beast Retreat, repeat God please, I'm on my knees Release, or ease I cannot breathe God this, oh God that, oh God please You're a sharp shooter Go on man, chew her Down the river, toward the bed I'm a mind reader Open wide, tighter God's a parasitic regret I'll take as much as I can get ♪

Hey, It's Me Again / I'm Still Waiting 02:34

Sever every thought Replacing carnal instinct For divine Intervention Name everything a sign That'll keep 'em waitin' Scrounging for the change They hope to find Face to face with God Black holes as wide as eyes Hey it's me again But I don't seem to understand a thing Like I did when I was there way back then Pray to stave the days that always came and never went away Promises upon that I'm still waitin' Pitch black cast the night A chance to overcome Incessant fright Thought I'd drop a line And fail another time Ever since this end Nothing's changed And nothing dared to bend Everything that I've seen Is nothing new, It's home to me Hey it's me again But I don't seem to understand a thing Like I did when I was there way back then Pray to stave the days that always came and never went away Promises upon that I'm still waitin' Contemplatin' I hate this sinking feeling Good thing I'm not alone

Got a mean old man He's got a mean old mind that's well to match his And he don't care His mind is up and snared Well, don'tcha know? At seventy years old He's got nothing to show He's just a rotten soul The heart of rock and roll Won't you tell me? Shakedown babay Molotov my freedom Shakedown babay I guess it's up to me now For centuries I've been stuck In this endless loop In hubris it has seemed I bit off More than I could chew Of everything I thought I knew Is gone And everyone I loved and knew Passed on Now my old bones are creakin' too The song Everything I thought I knew Is gone ♪ Got a mean old man He's got a mean old mind that's well to match his And he don't care His mind is up and snared Well, don'tcha know?

Shakedown baby Fallin' all on me now Shakedown babay Forgot how to sit down I never thought I'd make it Through this muddy strife Just to be met with a death sentence That we call life Of everything I thought I knew Is gone And everyone I loved and knew Passed on Now my old bones are creakin' too The song Everything I thought I knew Is gone ♪ Got a mean old man He's got a mean old mind that's well to match his And he don't care His mind is up and snared Well, don'tcha know?

Thought the sea was ever wide But the tide was turning dry, bug and the stroke, upon your brush On the canvas of my scars, floods Babe, so please Play one note wrong Forget the song I love the words But your melody No, I don't see you and I at all As we are one, all the words are gone No, I don't need leave or pause at all In lieu of them, oh my bug here's a song Never had or felt such warmth Melt the mask i'd worn so long Crescent, waning, what it's worth Inch closer and so the tide turns Babe, so please Paint one stroke wrong Ignite bygones Forget the dirt Turn a new leaf No, I don't see you and I at all As we are one, all the words are gone No, I don't need leave or pause at all In lieu of them, oh my bug here's a song Hey No, I don't see you and I at all As we are one, all the words are gone No, I don't need leave or pause at all In lieu of them, oh my bug here's a song No, I don't see you and I at all As we are one, all the words are gone No, I don't need leave or pause at all In lieu of them, oh my bug here's a song Hey

Slow down and see Just take a look around You're one in a million How does that one sound? No one is special, you've heard it here first The world is on fire, how could hell be any worse? So call on your fair-weather friends And pray til your heart stops again And don't forget the twirl Or the movie budget furls Oh yes we want the mess Don't forget your Sunday's best SO If this is what you all call sin Then I'll never breathe once again And never and never again We're all condemned to hell I'll melt my face The wax drips to taste The burning love you claim Yearns a slave to be erased You wanna know my name But you've got it all wrong I've returned with gifts Now let's detonate the bomb Don't let death deter your despair Remind me to comb my hair For God loves us all That we hide every flaw Impute guilt for the raw And defy natural law SO If this is what you all call sin Then I'll never breathe once again And never and never again We're all condemned to hell ♪ Throw yourselves in the pulpit tonight I wanna see you all at my feet! We are all God's children of right So give up your tithes for he lacks sore We've been praying for thousands of years! God demands just a few more tears Come on now, give us some more Where'd it go? Keep that face toward the floor. SO If this is what you all call sin Then I'll never breathe once again And never and never again We're all condemned to hell

All Roads Lead To Salvation 06:31
lyrics

I used to pray for restless nights Where clearer minds just might enlight A lonely room was all I found While stuck inside these damned four walls I've learned to sit, suck up, and crawl Diminished presence minimized Was it months, maybe days? Can't find the words to say What's with the constant headache? Good things come to those who wait Counting on a lucky day Dust off that wedding gown Months accrued days Years turned to waste Look where we've landed now These lovers mean nothing to me It's all just poetry And faith is said to light most fires God cries for you and me Yet loves to watch us bleed Sadistic isn't she? Or was it he now? Looking back it's all so clear I've no savior, yours is fear Bound and gagged, until you die And so I take No use to wait I'll stranglehold this vital life These lovers mean nothing to me It's all just poetry And faith is said to light most fires God cries for you and me Yet loves to watch us bleed Sadistic isn't she? Or was it he now? There's too much shit that they allow No more saints It's arbitrary face paint It's just a means to save face Oh god Oh god Oh god Ha ha No god.

about

My second LP, Manifesting Flies, is finally here! This angry little thing should compliment it's older sibling, Hollow Be Thy Brain, quite well.

This album is about hypocrisy, religion, mortality, and a general feeling of unrest while adding up the world around you. Again, I trust you will take care of it. Enjoy!
