I begged the stars, to wipe my eyes Give my clarity and answer why. And in their place, she called my name She called to me. The Mother of squalor lays her roots in decay. She called to me. When you sever the cartilage and you can see the bones writhe The flesh that long lay dormant unsettled once more. She said I'm matter, but I don't matter. In decomposition my essence will scatter. The tumult of maggots Burst forth from the abscess The tumult of maggots Burst forth from the abscess She said I'm matter but I don't matter In decomposition, my essence will scatter. She said I'm matter but my body will be shattered In putrefaction, I'll finally find my answers.

Erase the individual You know it’s never been personal Just buy and merge it all Streamline and sell your stolen labor Take, what you get And in our case we take it all Beg, to be chosen And we’ll make you capital So make your startups then shove them right on our plates We’re glad to hear you built them with love and passion Swallow the assets and lock it behind our gates You couldn’t say you thought this would never happen Erase the individual You know it’s never been personal Just buy and merge it all Streamline and sell your stolen labor One day we’ll buy you too It’s not something you get to choose Force feed the world our truth You’d all be savages without the dollar bill Lose, all you’ve cherished Now you’ll never afford a single luxury Starve, you’re just hopeless You don’t even deserve the human necessities So now you gotta pay to play some blaseball A monthly service fee to send a message online Why stop at fun when we can just take it all Secure the crops and your cash will be mine Erase the individual You know it’s never been personal Just buy and merge it all Streamline and sell your stolen labor One day we’ll buy you too It’s not something you get to choose Force feed the world our truth You’d all be savages without the dollar bill We’ll consume everything you ever loved Until there’s nothing left except mud We’ll consume everything you ever loved Rip apart flesh from bone and give me your blood So give me your all Fight like you think you've got a choice Give me Your all This noose is tightening like a vice.

I've heard if you plant roses, soak the ground with meat. Bonemeal is also helpful if they need a treat.

I’ve got a thing to tell you But you’ll reject it in the end, my friend There’s not a lot to tell you But that won’t stop me in the end, again (chorus) So what you need to know is It’s all just so disjoint I have no special insight There really isn’t any... point I’ve got a few opinions And I will grace you with them all, lol It’s time to wax poetic About my shit thrown at the wall, y’all (chorus) So what you need to know is It’s all just so disjoint I have no special insight There really isn’t any... point I’ve got another question Tell me if you disagree, please Look, I’m just advocating The devil needs the help, you see, geez (chorus) So what you need to know is It’s all just so disjoint I have no special insight There really isn’t any... point

Falcon of the sea engulfed in earth Dig down deep several fishes sleep (yeah) I should be dead but there's something alive (yeah, alive, alive, alive) Obscurance sky Bury me in sand Bury me in sand Let me rot and decompose Let these toxic fluids flow Let me rot and decompose Let these toxic fluids flow Let me rot and decompose Let these toxic fluids flow Let me rot and decompose Let these toxic fluids go

I don’t wanna be a role model I don’t wanna be a good guy I don’t wanna go to church cause sometimes I‘m anxious when I get high leave a puppet as my decoy I don’t wanna be a real boy I just kinda vibe with Pinocchio but I’ve gotta figure out where I wanna go so, that’s a start. I‘ve just gotta be the artist and the work of art. FUCK THAT I’M JUST A FUCKING PERSON [SCREAMS] I haven’t showered since I shaved my head there’s a little spot I missed, it looks like a rat tail not sure I vibe with this I don’t wanna be Mr. Darcy I don’t wanna be Elizabeth you stupid motherfucker, this isn't pride and prejudice can’t make an emo band ‘cause my hands are too small to play the guitar so I’ll throw my body into the gaping maw of a broken window and hope its glass teeth tear me apart I’m no saint I’m a fucking asshole (oh, are you now?) I’m no saint it’s not fucking worth it (oh, is it not?) if I die don’t make me a martyr if I die don’t you make me a martyr if there’s a god don’t let them make me a martyr Sorry mom and dad, that bad guy isn’t my boyfriend. That’s my fucking bro and we’re gonna go throw rocks in a lake.

Let me tell you a story About the days when our entire world was overrun By the Killer Hornet Beeeeees! Hiding in the forest From the killer bees We gave them too many flowers And they brought us to our knees They stole our phones, our motor cars They pollinate our lungs Th human days are over now The Buzzing has begung The fight was long and brutal We smoked out all their nests Once rulers of the world They’re now just one more pest And to those years and lives we lost The struggle not in vain We’ll keep this story in our hearts Lest the bees do rise again And so I tell you hive mate We have been building up our might We got so close the first time, And we won’t give up the fight

The Spine that binds us all We’ve been impaled from birth The backbone of our world Our blood drains to its core Birthed with good intent The saviour of our minds Then they got hold of it Now we rot on its branches Pull yourself towards the centre Force yourself across the ridges Callus your hands pull your body Like a zombie, glorified corpse You don’t need thoughts where you’re going Retch them out along with your mind Shed your skin and unique features Conform to this binding spine. They tell us to just keep going Even when our arms are failing They smile about what's at the end But I see the death so clearly Try to pullback, try to reclaim All that has been taken from me If they see that they will surely Stop me dead and push me on Macabre Weeping Willow Thorny Tree of Bone A factory of death Our youth doomed to it’s fate Thoughts beaten from their minds Hope sucked out from their eyes I’ve felt the grizzly fate No more. No more. Pull yourself towards the centre Force yourself across the ridges Callus your hands pull your body Like a zombie, glorified corpse You don’t need thoughts where you’re going Retch them out along with your mind Shed your skin and unique features Conform to this binding spine. My Body falls to earth Limp bones they make a splat They skies do not look grey Colour. I. am. free.

Tannregn 05:08
Dreginn upp á kjafti, Drekktur á landi, Barðist um af krafti, Smánaður í hlandi Í jörðu dreg ýsur, Um hrygg vex fiskur, Kveð nú vísur Um sorta og gnístur, Kveð nú vísur Um sorta og gnístur Himinn skal rista, Þegar safnað er megn, Úr háloftum hrista, Tannregn
