Kill love I am that devil perched upon your shoulder Your bad intentions manifested Feast upon the dead flesh of former aspirations Watch your dreams become tears in those eyes May the stench of failure fill your lungs with sorrow Disguise yourself with manufactured smiles Do I look like someone who cares what god thinks? X2 You’re worthless Just look at yourself Kill love This suit of skin so flawed, filthy and disfigured Yearns for the comfort of an undisturbed slumber These bloodshot eyes They never close Forever focused on a distant memory Detach yourself Embrace the void Let the nothingness consume you whole And in your darkest hours Look to me with helpless eyes Put your faith in my hands I know what it means to be cast to the side I know how it feels to be left for dead Oh no, don’t think you are alone Im here, and I’ll never let you go Dug inside and built myself a home I’ve lived it all before so Where can you run? You will never get far enough Who could you trust? I’ve been there from the start This is what you’ll get Living a lifetime of always being second best Doubt will haunt every step Choose your path Meet the end

They want me dead Have I gone mad? These walls are closing in And I can hear them talking Saying such awful things Tonight they’ll come for me Shadows with glowing eyes The most perfect black With the whitest teeth Well now the sun has set And with it my last defense I sense them shuffling Just beyond the glow Their whispers fill my room A constant chattering If I just close my eyes I don’t think ever I’ll wake up Tonight they’ll come for me Shadows with glowing eyes The most perfect black With the whitest teeth Hey, take my advice Don’t ever fuck with ghosts They’ll never leave you alone How much longer can I endure Before they fully devour Every last bit of fight that I have left Save me Nothing will stop them now They know I’ve reached my end Closer I see them now Too many of them for me to count They dance around Impatiently Waiting for the moment they can feed Fall asleep and this could be it They’ll swarm and leave my body ravaged all cut to ribbons (What can I do) Fall asleep and this could be it They’ll swarm and leave my body ravaged all cut to ribbons (Oh no fuck this)

Goddamn It’s back again The obsession I can never seem to satiate I can’t contain The impulse To surgically sever them limb from limb Oh shit I can’t sit still I’m itching and I’m twitching from the chemicals This time I’m wondering Just how long I could make it last How long can this last?! They screamed “god, please save us” I laughed, “He’s not coming” My god Ive lost control My hands around your throat and I can’t let go Too late I can’t go back I’ve grown addicted to the sounds of fear Fear! You can run, but let me warn you I will hunt you down and torture Every inch of your filthy flesh My sweet prey Rest assured With your demise Dissection will continue till I’m satisfied So believe You won’t be found An acid bath cleaner than the ground Nothing remains! Butcher! I will hunt you I will find you I will take everything from you I will cut the heart from your chest And watch the light leave your eyes My devil smiles I’m the Butcher! I can’t and won’t be stopped I’m eternal!

It’s been years but they still remain Every night replaying memories The dream is always the same A mansion with a spiral staircase Corridors filled with all their endless doors Rooms shaking from past echos And as I walk these haunted halls I’m confronted by the ghosts of my design They open wide with a chorus of screams “We hate it when you come here.” The walls are filled with photographs That come alive as I stumble pass Moments captured in black and white Visions played of a former life Collections to prove that once There was evidence of happiness WE HATE IT WHEN YOU COME HERE What happens next leaves me cold You’re standing there all covered in blood And as hands reach out to hold me back I awake in my bed covered in sweat Corridors filled with all their endless doors Rooms shaking from past echos And as I walk these haunted halls I’m confronted by the ghosts of my design They open wide with a chorus of screams “We hate it when you come here.” WE HATE IT WHEN YOU COME HERE

Oh well, you’re just a "gypsy queen" Stale worlds from your harlot mouth Goodbye bright eyes Hello dark skies So when the rain came It started the flood And as I clawed at the banks I was swept away Did I fall for you Or was I your prey Either way it’s me standing on the edge Of a parapet looking for some sense Hoping the end justifies the means Justifies the means So now I see the truth That face behind the mask You’re damaged goods And nothing can repair your broken past So you want to patronize Disrespect the one I love Who took you in and gave When yours couldn’t give a fuck To replace me oh so quick is sick I could break you down but what’s the point You only care about yourself A self serving hypocrite Hey now You do to this to yourself I know I’m far from perfect but I would have tried That voice was full of spite Thought you could stab me deep You forget who the fuck I am You couldn’t be more dead to me I bet You thought I cried For you Sorry No lie These eyes Stayed dry I don't wish any ill on you But I don’t care what happens now Be a queen or die in the streets It means no difference to me Well I’m glad you’re doing great You’ll always be an actress Play the part how it suits you You’re a sucker for dramatics The stage has been set So bring on those theatrics The critics are always watching I hope you break a leg and hit that high note “Oh go write a song about it” I’ll go write a song about it

The sounds of my screams Shake me awake Conducting shocks All through my veins The system has failed And god is a lie If he was there He’d hear my cries To save me from my mind Nothing can ease These frightful thoughts So these pills don’t help They keep me null Leaving me numb No room for myself A chemical hold On all of my thoughts Emotions erode As time goes on Sealed in my room Away from the world The blinds are drawn Safe from the sun There’s no one here A vacant home I’m scared to death Of being alone So save me from my mind I barely exist My god When does it end? Each day It starts again Nothing can ease These frightful thoughts The sounds of my screams Shake me awake Conducting shocks All through my veins The system has failed And god is a lie If he was there He’d hear my cries He’d hear these cries Fuck this, I hate this It’s all in my head Deep breaths

I died, but I’m back again Clawed my way out of that tomb I licked my wounds And carried on with my loathsome ways There is no rest For an undead creature such as I I walk alone Too cold to feel the world burn Im the reason you fear the dark This curse Will always follow Dead things Sing of my lament Through the ages I’ve witnessed man's constant stain Generations born into their selfish ways They lied, but I’ll speak the facts This planet's doomed, and so are you The trap is set, to bring you all to your knees You plague this earth A contagion all on your own The infection spread Past the point of no return If it moves kill it Through the ages I’ve witnessed man's constant stain Generations born into their selfish ways

Pardon me, but get out of my way I’m feeling sick, and I don’t think I can stay Listening to the tripe that you all say Maybe tonight I’ll explode Rip the tongues right from your throats Look you in the eyes as you choke I can’t take the noise I think I’m going deaf Run your mouths all you want you sycophants You'd better watch your step The wolves have got your scent Waiting for your clout to collapse All you do is spread your filth Preaching from your petty throne It makes me laugh, makes me laugh, makes me laugh Every kingdom falls to dust So don’t forget your time will come You make me sick, you make me sick You’re not like me, you’re not like me Pardon me but get out of my way YOUR masquerades are more than I can take Do they know how fake you are? Carry on with all your sad charades Tell yourself how great you will be But tell me who the fuck is listening? I can’t take the noise I think I’m going deaf Run your mouths all you want you sycophants You better watch your step The wolves have got your scent Waiting for your clout to collapse All you do is spread your filth Preaching from your petty throne It makes me laugh, makes me laugh, makes me laugh Every kingdom falls to dust So don’t forget your time will come You make me sick, you make me sick You’re not like me, you’re not like me False modesty is worse than arrogance

Below! My great failure The weight of regret so daunting I’m just egregious Destined for horrors I ruin everything that I touch I did this to myself I ruin everything that I touch I did this to myself and I ruin everything that I touch I did this to myself I ruin everything that I touch I did this to myself Your face still kills me A beautiful hurt But you’ve long forgot me You've left me to drown in my despair With my last breath, I gave up I let the darkness swallow me whole Below, the currents pull me down Like a stone on my chest And I feel nothing at all Except the grip of death Alas, a light pierced the void Warming my cold form Lifting me from the depths To feel the sun again I never thought I’d make it out alive But I found the will So to tell you the truth I’ll never truly forget The scars you left on my heart But I’ll do my fucking best You left me to drown in my despair With my last breath, I gave up I let the darkness swallow me whole Below, the currents pull me down Like a stone on my chest And I feel nothing at all Except the grip of death Alas, a light pierced the void Warming my cold form Lifting me from the depths To feel the sun again I never thought I’d make it out alive But I found the will So to tell you the truth I’ll never truly forget The scars you left on my heart But I’ll do my fucking best You left me to drown in my despair You let me You let me You let me DROWN!

These rituals that I perform Summon every loathsome one A gateway to oblivion I still feel those claws around my neck A hundred voices screaming Out to me Begging for my attention Most days I feel like the world is ending Will I fix my imperfections Or let my bitterness infect me With a sense of insecurity? That leaves me wanting Something more than this Numbing existence Built on failures I’m insatiable It’s never enough I expect too much And give even less I couldn’t care less It’s a cold comfort To bury the past And pretend It’s a lesson learned I know better now Than to let my guard down The snakes still slither In the tall grass A fleeting scene in a fever dream Burning fields and blood filled streams Purple skies with a billion eyes Mountains of bodies piled high Who do you think you are? I can’t seem to shake it off This dread I feel is More than I can stand to take As my hopes collapse I can’t seem to shake it off This dread I feel is so surreal More than I can stand to take As my hopes collapse Let me make this clear If you’re not understanding That this pressure Has gone and made me lifeless Stop And ask yourself Is it worth it? I will always Be a disappointment to you These rituals that I perform Summon every loathsome one A gateway to oblivion I still feel those claws around my neck A hundred voices screaming Out to me Begging for my attention

Moonlight parts the hair from her face Moves so delicate under her fingertips In a bed of serpents she lays As their poisons Seep into her skin Lost in chaos I walked with my fears As I wandered they became irrelevant Choked on dust from the weight of my years In the echoes I heard her voice beckon “Come inside Don’t you fear a thing There’s a life you can have. You’ll be free! I’m alive Put your hand in mine We can conquer and claim all we see! But in time You’ll lose everything For you know not the evil I bring! Close your eyes Don’t you fear a thing You can’t live in this world without me!” Memories lost to the smoke Forgotten. No longer potent. Her smile is splitting Her forked tongue is spitting So deep in my ears as it was from the start The Scales on her dress And the bones in her nest She crawls on her belly oh queen of my heart! Tear me apart! Unhinged, devoured, digested, decayed Black tar on my lungs Drips hot from her fangs Venomous plague! Unhinged, devoured, digested, decayed Limbs going numb As she smothers my face Tear me apart! Moonlight parts the hair from her face Moves so delicate under her fingertips In a bed of serpents she lays As their poisons Seep into her skin Flames! Ignite and take shape They dance on my grave Embers are left behind embedded in my skin She bays at the moon From outside my tomb I hear her voice carried with the fog upon the wind Buried alive! Flames Burning my chest The smoke on my breath This romance is deafening, defeating me again I’ll find no rest!

out of the sterile room of bloodied scalpels that was errorzone was the wide, pulsing, beating heart of the world. this album is beyond monumental. it is the very ground you cling to. it is the room that saw you weep over the telephone. this isn't beyond, this is here, right now. c.
