Shut-In

Hi.
I’ve never met you, but
I like you just the same.
Come, stay a while, I’ve got stories to tell.
This is my heaven, I’ve never been to hell but
I can see the flames from my window.
A quiet night in is what you need.
If I don’t try, then there’s no reason I
Should be concerned over defeat.
I burn as bright as the sun in the sky
Waiting for the lunar cycle to complete.
But to live would be so sweet.
Underneath my judgment you will not breathe.
It will
Crush
Your organs and leave you cold.
This death I will never suffer, I will never grow old.
Reason.
Logic.
Shut-in.
Homesick.
I am the god of the atheist, the joy of the anarchist
Undeceived.
Laughing with the ghost of fear
Until the coast is clear
And then I weep.
Although I do not deserve you
I’ll do my best to earn my keep.
Always improving but never complete.
Always improving but never complete.
All of my strength, buried and weak.
Always improving but never complete.
I have no money, I have no job, I have no friends.
I have no money, I have no job, I have no friends.
I have no money, I have no job, I have no friends.
Stay with me forever.

Hermit Dance Party

Draw the circle and cast the stone
All alone. Can you party while people are dying at home?
Fuck your hang-ups and grab a drink.
You brought us here, now you’ll answer to me.
A sea that shakes with a thousand hands
To pull you under and keep you
Until you’re a bit more discrete.
Complete the ritual
Now,
We are legion
And you’re just one lonely soul.
We’ll rip the beat out and dance to it over your bones.
More flesh than ever you’ve seen.
Was this ever your dream?
Old man, bold man,
Lady luck is a crone.
Is there a way out?
Yes there is - but you won’t find it
By being alone.
My body quakes with lust.
I cannot die.
Feeding on the souls of the awkward.
Political bullshit
For zealots and bigots
Is what I create.
You can’t escape.
You can’t escape
These implications.
Chaos.
Panic.
Apologies to the host.
Disappearing into the ether,
I wholly ghost, never
To return.

Consume, Control
02:11

A dozen lies
And pills to heal the sin.
Split lips you tried to soak in gin.
You’re just another face to them.
Just breeders, slaves from end to end.
Disguise, defeat,
There’s nothing left for me.
Buck up, stay sane,
But nothing’s gonna change.
Stand back, I’m ill,
I’m catching holy hell.
The sand’s run out, your time is up,
You’re all alone and out of luck.
Consume: the less you’ll ever need.
Control: the less you will be free.
The body is broken.
The cord is cut free.
The soul has descended.
This life cannot be
What once it was, now unmade,
Unable to recreate.
I'll swallow your soul.
Consume, control.

I take my time
Growing toward the light.
Late blooms yield no fruit.
Rotten, overripe.
I hear the whimper of time as it passes.
The sun as a god or a message of death.
No sight and no sound,
Like a body underground.
The time spent by myself -
My silent cry for help.
Love
Is not for me.
Eyes,
Eyes that I still see.
We put our TV on
So we can pretend there’s company.
Pretend there’s company
So glad to see one episode.
Repeats of suffering.
Subsist on CHiPS and Wings.
I used to degrade
What I had forbade,
But now I whet the blade.
Holding rewind forward through time.
Open grave, static resonates.
We all sing while we suffocate.
Coming spring, flowers propagate.
We all sing while we suffocate.
Love
Is not for me.
Eyes,
Eyes that I can’t see.
We put our TV on
So we can pretend there’s company.
Pretend there’s company.
So glad I’m season
And episode one.

Robot Death Orgy
03:37
|

I read the news today - my first and last mistake.
The war on happiness
And common sense
Reporters propagate
Is poison.
Watch out, don’t breathe, don’t move,
Or else the world might sink into flames
Of hate,
But I will not participate.
The revolution is a fake,
Just more spare parts to copulate
In the
Robot death orgy.
If we were so secure, no guns, no millionaires.
How can we be obese if we’re always running scared?
I’m no better than you, here in my sheltered hell.
But will we ever learn?
Only time will tell.
People like me, we live in the present tense.
You wouldn’t understand, you
Helpless
Fucking
Worm.
Just hunker down and bury your head in the sand.
So sad you’ll never come to terms.
While I can rejoice,
While I laugh and sing.
But deep down,
I fear everything
Much worse.
Robot death orgy,
It's gonna fuck you up.

What is this feeling that I can’t overcome?
Resent the child whose life has just begun.
There’s nothing left for me. Death’s maw is open wide.
But I’m all out of choices - I can no longer hide.
So tired of this sorrow,
So tired of this pain.
It’s just the pressure of living
And it’s nothing.
I guess I can’t explain.
Winter’s nigh. It’s cold
And it lasts your life.
No power to feel what’s wrong and what’s real,
But I can’t get no warmer
Until this shit is over with.
The journey was long
And the odds were steep.
No night at the inn, no holdfast, no keep.
But we all persevere
Despite facing our fear
Every day
Of our lives.
I,
I make the climb.
Somewhere it’s out there,
What I seek deep inside.
I make the climb.
To
The
Cave of summoning.
Draw the circle
And cast the stone.
Stand back, you witches and warlocks,
I’ll face this beast alone.
This beast is deadly.
This beast is me.
The culmination of my fears.
Into the void I cry, “Will you answer me?”
But I still hear nothing.
At last I’m turning to stone.
The cold has come to claim me.
Resigned to dying alone.
Talk back!
I can’t do it.
Talk back!
Talk back to it.
My friends are everywhere, I just need to say hi.
'cause I’m a handsome son of a bitch and I’m nice as hell,
There's no need to hide.
There’s fear and then there’s death, and there’s still so much in between,
Because my life is out there for the living and
No
One
Can
Hurt
Me.
I am the STEED.
From the banks of your desperation,
I’ve come to set you free.
Don’t ever fear, my child,
Don’t ever weep.
I’ve been beside you all along.
Now come away with me.
