piggy

hey pig
yeah you
hey pig piggy pig pig pig
all of my fears came true
black and blue and broken bones you've left me here i'm all alone
my little piggy needed something new

nothing can stop me now
cause i just don't care anymore
nothing can stop me now
cause i just don't care

hey pig
nothing's turning out the way i planned
hey pig there's a lot of things i hoped you could help me understand
what am i supposed to do i lost my shit because of you

nothing can stop me now
cause i just don't care anymore
nothing can stop me now
cause i just don't care
nothing can stop me now
you don't need me anymore


heresy

he sewed his eyes shut because he is afraid to see
he tries to tell me what i put inside of me
he's got the answers to ease my curiosity
he dreamed a god up and called it christianity

god is dead
and no one cares
if there is a hell
i will see you there

he flexed his muscles to keep his flock of sheep in line
he made a virus that would kill off all the swine
his perfect kingdom of killing suffering and pain
demands devotion atrocities done in his name

your god is dead
and no one cares
drowning in his own hypocrisy
if there is a hell
i will see you there

burning with your god in humility
will you die for this


march of the pigs

step right up march push
crawl right up on your knees
please greed feed (no time to hesitate)

i want a little bit
i want a piece of it
i think he's losing it
i wanna watch it come down
don't like the look of it
don't like the taste of it
don't like the smell of it
i wanna watch it come down

 
        all the pigs are all lined up
        i give you all that you want
        take the skin and peel it back
        now doesn't it make you feel better

shove it up inside surprise lies
stains like the blood on your teeth
bite chew suck (away the tender parts)

i want to break it up
i want to smash it up
i want to fuck it up
i wanna watch it come down
maybe afraid of it
let's discredit it
let's pick away at it
i wanna watch it come down


        all the pigs are all lined up
        i give you all that you want
        take the skin and peel it back
        now doesn't it make you feel better

the pigs have won tonight
now they can all sleep soundly
and everything is alright


closer

you let me violate you
you let me desecrate you
you let me penetrate you
you let me complicate you

help me i broke apart my insides
help me i've got no soul to sell
help me the only thing that works for me
help me get away from myself


        i wanna fuck you like an animal
        i wanna feel you from the inside
        i wanna fuck you like an animal
        my whole existence is flawed
        you get me closer to god

you can have my isolation
you can have the hate that it brings
you can have my absence of faith
you can have my everything

help me tear down my reason
help me it's your sex i can smell
help me you make me perfect
help me become somebody else


        i wanna fuck you like an animal
        i wanna feel you from the inside
        i wanna fuck you like an animal
        my whole existence is flawed
        you get me closer to god

through every forest, above the trees
within my stomach, scraped off my knees
i drink the honey inside your hive
you are the reason i stay alive


ruiner

you had all of them on your side, didn't you
you believed in all your lies, didn't you

the ruiner's got a lot to prove he's got nothing to lose and now he's made you believe
the ruiner's your only friend well he's the living end to the cattle he deceives
the raping of the innocent you know the ruiner ruins everything he sees
now the only pure thing left in my fucking world i wearing your disease


        how did you get so big
        how did you get so strong
        how did you get so hard
        how did it get so long

you had to give them all a sign, didn't you
you had to covet what was mine, didn't you
the ruiner's a collector he's an infector serving his shit to his flies
maybe there will come a day when those that you keep blind will suddenly realize
maybe it's a part of me you took to a place i hoped it would never go
and maybe that fucked me up much more than you'll ever know


        how did you get so big
        how did you get so strong
        how did you get so hard
        how did it get so long

what you gave to me
my perfect ring of scars
you know i can see what you really are

you didn't hurt me, nothing can hurt me
you didn't hurt me, nothing can stop me now


the becoming

i beat my machine
it's a part of me it's inside of me
i'm stuck in this dream
it's changing me i am becoming
the me that you know had some second thoughts
he's covered with scabs he is broken and sore
the me that you know doesn't come around much
that part of me isn't here anymore

all pain disappears
it's the nature of of my circuitry
drowns out all i hear
no escape from this my new consciousness
the me that you know used to have feeling
but the blood has stopped pumping and he is left to decay
the me that you know is now made up of wires
and even when i'm right with you i'm so far away

i can try to get away but i've strapped myself in
i can try to scratch away the sound in my ears
i can see it feeling away all of my bad parts
i don't want to listen but it's all too clear

hiding backwards inside of me i feel so unafraid
annie, hold a little tighter i might just slip away

it won't give up it wants me dead
goddamn this noise inside my head


i do not want this

i'm losing ground
you know how this world can beat you down
i'm made of clay
i fear i'm the only one who thinks this way
i'm always falling down the same hill
bamboo punturing the skin
and nothing comes bleeding out of me just like the waterfall i'm drowning in
two feet below the surface i can still make out your wavy face
and if i could just reach you maybe i could leave this place


        i do not want this
        i do not want this
        i do not want this
        i do not want this
        don't you tell me how i feel
        don't you tell me how i feel
        don't you tell me how i feel
        you don't know just how i feel

i stay inside my bed
i have live so many lives all in my head
don't tell me that you care
there really isn't anything now is there
you would know wouldn't you
you extend your hand to those who suffer
to those who know what it really feels like
to those who've had a taste
like that means something
and oh so sick i am
and maybe i don't have a choice
and maybe that is all i have
and maybe this is a cry for help


        i do not want this
        i do not want this
        i do not want this
        i do not want this
        don't you tell me how i feel
        don't you tell me how i feel
        don't you tell me how i feel
        you don't know just how i feel

i want to know everything
i want to be everywhere
i want to fuck everyone in the world
i want to do something that matters


big man with a gun

i am a big man yes i am
and i've got a big gun
got me a big old dick and i
i like to have fun
held against your forehead
well i'll make you suck it
maybe i'll put a hole in your head
you know just for the fuck of it
i can reduce you if i want
i can devour
i'm hard as fucking steel
i've got the power
i'm every inch of man
and i'll show you somehow
me and my fucking gun
nothing can stop me now

shoot shoot shoot shoot
i'm going to come all over you
me and my fucking gun


a warm place


eraser

need you
dream you
find you
taste you
fuck you
use you
scar you
break you
lose me
hate me
smash me
erase me
kill me
kill me
kill me
kill me


reptile

she spreads herself wide open to let the insect in
she leaves a trail of honey to show me where she's been
she has the blood of reptile just underneath her skin
seeds from a thousand others drip down from within


        oh my beautiful liar
        oh my precious whore
        my disease my infection
        i am so impure

devils speak of the ways in which she'll manifest
angels bleed from the tainted touch of my caress
need to contaminate to alleviate this lonliness
i now know the depths i reach are limitless


        oh my beautiful liar
        oh my precious whore
        my disease my infection
        i am so impure

the downward spiral

he couldn't believe how easy it was
he put the gun into his face
bang
so much blood for such a tiny little hole

problems do have solutions
a lifetime of fucking things up fixed in one determined flash

everything's blue in this world
the deepest shade of mushroom blue
all fuzzy
spilling out of my head


hurt

i hurt myself today
to see if i still feel
i focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but i remember everything


        what have i become
        my sweetest friend
        everyone i know
        goes away in the end
        you could have it all
        my empire of dirt
        i will let you down
        i will make you hurt

i wear this crown of shit
upon my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
i cannot repair
beneath the stains of time
the feeling disappears
you are someone else
i am still right here


        what have i become
        my sweetest friend
        everyone i know
        goes away in the end
        you could have it all
        my empire of dirt
        i will let you down
        i will make you hurt

if i could start again
a million miles away
i would keep myself
i would find a way
