Shove cash into the mouth of the blood thirsty gator
Go to West Germany on tour tear up the half pipe
The shutters of the camera flicker just for you.
Look at him go.
Go to a party
Show us how bold you are now.
Take a drunken leap from the balcony.
Get impaled through the wrists and face on a spiked fence below.
A man named Augie is your own personal Jesus now.
Says it’s your turn to repent.
Evangelical nonsense
Is all that anyone heard from you anymore.
Prescribed clinical and regurgitated to ad nauseam
The sentiment is only shared by you and your weak degenerate ilk.
Young man, what do you have to hide?
He shows
No remorse on the stand
Just more rationalizations and a paper thin veneer of pseudo guilt and enlightenment.
No sympathy for the bereaved parents.
Do you think you’ve been forgiven so easily?
She said she’s through with you.
The money, sex and dope was her one true love
Break and enter.
And take back what you’ve sunk into this hallow celebrity courtship.
While you don’t realize
Jesus is in the other room
He’s not your secret best friend
He’s not your partner in crime.
Jesus isn’t your comrade.
He says what happens next was all your idea.
You see, what you’ve set out to destroy represents your failures.
She was only 22 years old.
Sensual, smart and fun
Something a has been like you could never obtain.
Her name didn’t happen to be McClain.
Instead of taking your own life like you should’ve you just Subject her to several hours of degradation rape and despair then finally finish her off.
Wrap her body in plastic and dump her in the desert.
A meteoric rise to fame ends in a pathetic sick tragedy that didn’t need to transpire.
Self serving
Wicked
Disgusting
Vile
Evil
No living good god would create an animal such as yourself!
And that’s your fucking legacy!

I want you to hurt me like I can’t feel
I need a justification for this blinding rage.
All of the shit left in my back yard hasn’t been fertile.
Like I thought it would
Therefore Nothing can grow
The gnats maggots and vermin like you are all that is surrounding me.
Someone better phone the department of lost causes
They’ve been looking for you
You may never ask me for a reason why.
But you operate under an assumption of my character.
If there’s static in the air it’s entirely because of you.
We want to see you hang.
I want to watch you bleed out until you’re an exhausted husk just like you made those around you.
I want to hurt you like I can’t feel.
I want to send you straight to fucking hell.
You’re a vision ripped straight from Wes Craven’s Fever Dreams.
Why are you here?
Is this all you have in your sad fucking life?
Why am I here forced to deal with it?
Why are you talking to me?
When will you learn to shut your mouth?
When will I learn not to let you in?
When will you learn?
I want to hurt you like I can’t feel.
I want to show you the monster dwelling inside of me.
Not so deep down inside of me.
We want to see you hang.
I want to watch you bleed out until you’re an exhausted husk just like you made those around you.
I want to hurt you like I can’t feel.
I want to send you straight to fucking hell.
You’re a vision ripped straight from Wes Craven’s Fever Dreams.
I want to hurt you like I can’t feel.
I want to show you the monster dwelling inside of me.
Not so deep down inside of me.

Quid Pro Quo
09:40
|
|||
I’m a vacant motel out in the middle of the desert
I’m laying in wait for anyone to notice me
All rooms open
Arms stretched wide out into the cosmos
Screaming for any signs of life that may be listening
May be watching
I hear nothing back
And then I realize almost in an instant
That there is nothing left to say.
Thus there is nothing left for me.
Nothing left but alcohol and strife
Nothing left but drugs and a sense that I’m constantly peering into the abyss
Nothing left for me
Nothing left for you
No amount of useless objects or pointless tasks can satisfy my ravenous hunger
What adventure should I go on today?
Does it really matter?
No man
To me it’s just another day that ends in Y.
To me it’s all just a big fucking joke with no punchline
No end in sight.
Spit into the wind
And piss in the face of the stark ugly world around you
Maybe if you’re lucky you can shatter the absurd façade of the day to day minutia
Of your humdrum life
And find a reason to be.
But without this crushing disappointment everything would just be too boring for you.
So what’s left to do now?
Without misery you have no reason to walk around.
So what can you do?
The point is beyond moot.
You’re running out of time
You’re running out of steam
You’re running out of excuses
You’re running out of drunken nights
Your antics are wearing thin
You’re wasting your life.
You’re being lead from one place to the next like a dog on a short leash
You’re nothing more than a meager little insect in life’s master design acting solely on impulse and instinct.
And you have no fucking clue what else to do. No idea of where to go from here.
I don’t believe that you realize what you’ve done
I know for a fact that you don’t care
And that’s the absolute worst of it
Should I live my entire life to see yours crumble?
Or can I put the bottle down?
Can I even smile without a substance coursing through my veins?
What the hell am I asking you for?
After all.
You’re the reason I’m standing here naked, alone and afraid in the first place.
My shaking arms are grasping the porcelain tight.
And all I can do is regurgitate your name for the umpteenth time this week.
You think I’ve weaponized the poor me attitude that’s so prominent in this workaday world
I’m a victim purely because it will allow me to stab you in the back
Totally unchecked and unquestioned
They’ll never question a victim
But if my litany of excuses doesn’t impress you anymore
I got a million other for you
And each and everyone has been programmed into my head by you and only you alone.
You did this and now that you’ve washed your hands clean of me
I’m the one stuck with this grief.
Myself and no one else
And you won’t even lose a wink of sleep over this old nasty business.
It’s my problem now.
And that is entirely on me.
You’re just glad you found someone else to carry it for you is all. (edited)
I’m a vacant motel
Willing and ready for your demons to occupy the rooms.
I am a receptacle for all of your shit
I am what you use when you have nowhere else to place your hatred and disgust
My arms are spread open straight out into the cosmos
They extend to Ad Infinitum
Just looking for someone to reach out and touch my hands.
The ones who do are often the worst of their kind.
The goblins always have a Quid Pro Quo
And every single time they feast on me until I’m all hallowed out
A baron and lowly husk
Screaming into the void
For any forms of life who might be listening.
Screaming for someone
Something
To help me

I'm the grievance collector.
I know how to disarm you.
I have come so you better pay me your debt now.
I'll twist your words until they sound like gibberish.
Alleged witness
Alleged alibi.
I'm the one who lights the lamps and then puts them out.
They don't know any better
And that's too bad for you.
Too bad for you.
And I never feel sorry for a cover up over a few half lies over minor idiosyncrasies.
They never liked you
I am the one on directing this picture.
You said you needed a friend.
And I welcome you to some tea and sympathy.
You know I'm always here to listen to you.
I hold a gauntlet over my chest and I bleed just for you.
You're only turning my cold blood into Iron. I'm assembling the barbs to throw in your face.
Store them away at my earliest convenience.
You've been a nice court jester.
What a help you were.
I got exactly what I wanted.
Now I'll put you back under my thumb.
Thanks for playing.
See you again next time.
Someday there might be hell for me to pay.
But I wouldn't be doing so well by that point anyways.
So who really fucking cares?
You never got me as bad I got you.
So really who fucking cares?
I never got you as bad as you caught me.
So who the hell cares?
Not me.
Not me.
Not me.

I've lost the ability to care
And we're all going down.
I've been charred to a perfect crisp
Inside and out.
I feel nothing
Nothing but rage and a deep desire to burn this town down to the ground.
Before I bite down on this capsule
And take myself out of the grand scheme of things.
God knows you've tried
To help me.
It's not you.
It's the fact that I can't get out of my own fucking way.
I feel drunk perpetually nauseous
Wasted or high
Cold to the touch
Numb sober and medicated nothing ever seems to help.
I would tell you why
But I am too shell-shocked.
My mind has been raped senseless
And I have no words left in my head to
Articulate what hell this is.
God knows you've tried
To help me.
It's not you.
It's the fact that I can't get out of my own fucking way.
Grab me by the ears
Scream at me until your throat is shredded to bits.
You're not the first
But I'll try my best to take in as much I possibly can.
Are any of you happy now?
Are you?
Well are you fucking happy?
No sorry it's not you.
No it's totally you.
Totally me.
Who cares anymore?
It doesn't make sense any old way you slice it.
I've lost the ability to care
Lost the ability to smile
Ability to be sincere
I'll hole off in here
It's for the benefit of us all.
I want to be detached don't you see?
Why are you holding onto me?
I watch time smash cut into
Absolutely fucking nothing.
I watch you age
And I wish I could beat you to the finish line.
It won't ever happen
I'm here whether I like it or not
I'm a bad actor
I'm sorry
I just want out
But what happens to the ones in the audience that I love
If I skip the bullshit encore
And take my bow?
Are you happy now motherfucker?
God knows you've tried
To help me.
It's not you.
It's the fact that I can't get out of my own fucking way.

I'm hiding from what you will never accept
I am defying you to look away
I am screaming into the ears of the universe
I am screaming into the megaphone of the bastard demon
deep inside of me.
Hoping you'll be in touch with us
Before it gets much later
Much later
Later.

Lurch

The Revolving doors of domestic hell Are forever in motion.
The antagonist changes shape and form.
But the sadistic intentions remain the same.
Book a flight to the northeastern most region
Hide underneath the northern lights.
Or run a 4k Marathon to the edge of the earth.
No matter where you go these people always fucking seem to find you.
You’re in the business of Histrionics
I’m an unwilling salesman pushing the product you burdened me with.
I don’t want it.
I’m stuck with it whether I like it or not.
And you’re just happy you have someone to suffer alongside you is all.
I seem small when I’m pushed in the corner
You’re a towering lurch-esque figure looming over me.
But you fail to recognize
That my shadow is creeping up behind you
Standing 20 stories tall.
Knife in hand ready to plunge it into the back of your thick skull.
If the occasion should present itself.
“You’re not going down alone. You’re not going down without a fight.”
Says the queasy sickly determined yet oddly paradoxically world weary antihero to the snarling antichrist clown sweating and bleeding out trailer park speed on his couch.
It’s a little bit past midnight
And you’re still fucking screaming
Call the cops and they can’t do a thing about it.
Someone better Grab the Jerry Can and a book of matches.
Now it’s your turn to stand on the pyre.
I’ll drive away laughing while you descend back to the vile depths from which you’ve came.
Hit the glass dick and accost me some more
Blow your brains out with amphetamine. It doesn’t even fucking matter.
Both of us are leaving only one on of us aspires to find somewhere better.
It doesn’t mean a goddamn thing to anyone especially not me.
I hope you enjoy staying here living in filth and squalor.
I hope the rats eat you alive.
They are your only friends.
A car collides with a wall
He feels hopeful for the first time.
Only to see everything keep crashing down.
3 am rolls around and I can’t sleep
The Bottom Rung is also the loudest.
Dealing in Self Sabotage is my default.
Take me away for the next line
I don’t fucking care
I have half a mind to shoot that pedophile motherfucker in the face.
I put everything on hold because God Forbid I lose all of this.
Fucking die already.
I’ll be at the gates of hell
Holding it open
Just for you.
You fucking punk!

Want to see a man
Die in front if your very eyes?
He's wandering lost in the streets.
After all
He is your least fortunate son.
The walls were closing in around him.
But rest assure he found his cure.
And he can sleep tonight.
The man selling snake oil
The man who can tell you where to start gives me a hint.
"Look Motherfucker! I'm fresh out right now. But I know a friend who can hook you up."
All you have to do is go southwest and down. (4x)
I think about you.
I'm starting to break out in a cold sweat.
You're in the kitchen feeding the needle.
I can hear it screaming my praises.
Oh God, it just hit me.
The story is always the same and fever dreams are not just a passing phase.
The man selling snake oil
The man who can tell you where to start gives me a hint.
"Look Motherfucker! I'm fresh out right now. But I know a friend who can hook you up."
I can hook you up!
All you have to do is go southwest and down. (4x)
And then I'll be out cold somewhere out on Southwest Lovejoy. Laying in the streets clutching your photo in my right hand.
The man selling snake oil
The man who can tell you where to start gives me a hint.
"Look Motherfucker! I'm fresh out right now. But I know a friend who can hook you up."
And if she comes to you
If she's wondering why I haven't come home.
Please remember to mind your Ps and Qs.
You tell her four little words.
Go Southwest and down. (3x)
I'm coming home. Home alone. (5x)
Home alone.
