A Beginner's Guide To Self Destruction
i break the cord across my back
a little pain
to fight away the creeping dark, and i know
this feral in my side
take unto this body as it grows and grows and grows
she tried to warn of the volcano in my belly but i don't care
i'm so full of sick and bile and hatred
and boredom
so i wait
as it grows and grows and grows and grows
the old condition cuts into my thumb like a rusty pin
and i
don't want to control myself, i
don't want to control myself, i
don't want to
control myself at allll
and i think
like the self defeating prick that i am
there's no way of knowing just how badly this will end
the aching in my gut as it grows and grows and grows
chorus
this bottle's gotta break sometime
i've swallowed gelignite and glass, i know what will come to pass
this mountain's gotta blow sometime
i've swallowed gelignite and glass, i know what will come to pass
i've swallowed gelignite and glass, i know what will come to pass
she tried to warn of the volcano in my belly but i don't care
chorus
Antithesis of Cool
they tell us what we should know
three cheers for losing our souls
wrapping up the kiddies in the little white lie
hang us like a carcass so the meat can petrify
we'll teach our babies to die
no no no!
i stumbled out of your anaesthetic hell
don't understand why you castrate yourselves
you hide your eyes from the glory of the sun, like fucking worms
there's no excuse for what you have done to us
it's cool to be vapid
it's cool to be dense
i am the antithesis of cool
we're born upon bended knee
eat everything that we see
binding down the kiddies with hold our babies asleep
no no no!
chorus
it's cool to be placid
it's cool to be bland
i am the antithesis of cool
our lives revolve around what other people tell us we need
we suckle the tit of greed (NONONONO!!)
we live beneathe our parents' shadow
and so our art becomes more shallow
our one reaction is a sigh
and i know why
you're not a person, you're a disease with a mouth * 4
no no no no!
Head on a Stick
back of the throat like an itch i keep on rubbing
all the pictures of hate put a spring in my feet
i am made from the ashes of crickets and bad songs
my future is as black as my lungs
and i justify my rage with the cuts that i make to your tender eyelids
i recognise your faith as a tick to be cut out of you
the cycle slows
my vengence is whole
i won't fucking stop coz i don't need to and
i won't let you off because i can't
open my eyes
to open yours
livid i watched as your earth ran in circles
Killing Your Kids (tm) as a national sport
your stumbling block is the deathgrip of apathy
i wanna change you. i want change
i terraform my skin to represent this need for violence
i ressurect my pain to give me the strength to push you push you
the idols burn
my vengence is pure
i won't fucking stop coz i don't need to and
i won't let you off because i can't
i've opened my eyes
to open yours
tear at your throat coz you don't need it
i won't let you go because i can't
i've opened my eyes
to open yours
take
what you're given
break
what you are
sun
coming nearer
bow to me
(eye who can't see)
cut me down, they mesmerise
two who are one will rise
Everyone who ever said anything nice about you was lying
it's so cold and dangerous out in the wild world
i could get my ego crushed
someone might put sticks in my eyes
better to hovel in front of the warm glow of the television, where everyone tell me how nice i am
i take dead fashion and wear it like dead skin
because it's classic, man, and safe
and the wild world is just so, you know, wild
i should go on dr.phil, he'd sort me out
i need someone to put me together
Factors of Six
the chalk beneath my fingernails
and i try, can't bring myself to stop
i'm frankly underwhelmed
not even trying to drag yourself from up against the wall
(and i'll never be far enough away)
you cannot contain us, your world is just our toy
run, run
the scabs beneathe my fingertips
as i try, to break through this fleshy wall
i'll never understand
the puppet inclination that leaves you hanging up against the wall
(and i'll never be far enough away)
you cannot contain us, your world is just our toy
(get out/get out/get out/get out)
run run run away
Disintegrator
and i watched it come down
like a heirophant, like a bomb, and iii
breathe the air of dissent
like a perfume to cover the smell of decay and iii
break down
constricted by the expectations of the dumb, and iii
lay the salt where all that's rotten grows, i don't care anymore
and iii
break down
the bondage of your dead traditions
down
fuck content i'll burn your planet down
the empty voices drowned out by the sounds of the fleeing rats, and iii
dedicate myself to helping you fall, so fuck your rhetoric and fuck your lust for human stagnation
chorus
you're just a figment of your own inebriation
and i watched it come down
like a heirophant, like a bomb
i try to kid myself that maybe i could watch it crumble
but i can't and i won't and i
chorus
you're just a figment of your own inebriation
chorus
Meat Puppet
everything that happens is our fault
i'd never want to be here but i'm tied with silver thread
and my back it aches like canvass to the noise that's in my head
(i'll give you something to cry about)
my bouncy little sine wave tells you what to say
it'll push you when you're happy and pull you til you fray
(consider this, you are the master of your own imprisonment)
Belgrade Girls
the doors are locked, keep your eyes down, face up
noone you know, just keep your ears and your mouth shut
if you're quiet and calm it won't hurt
shut your face, turn around, lift your skirt
try to keep in mind that the cops are all mine
nobody that cares, it scares you - that's fine
i paid a lot for you
so you better make it worth it there's a client to see you
"in a past life i used to pray
seems nobody's listening anyway"
all the doors are closed n I can't get away
all the windows barred and I can't get
noone to talk to i can't get away
my baby's alone and i can't get away
freezing to death and I can't get
fucking cuts on my thighs and I can't get away
the dirty hands and i can't
god i could never go home and I can't get away
wake up little bitches coz it's time for work
get some makeup on those bruises or i'll go beserk
on you, like that one that wise the other day
took the girly to the river let her
are you jealous that in death she could leave?
i got ways of keeping order that you'll never conceive
isn't it your kid's birthday today?
if you fucking act up, i'll be sending something his way
"and i ask myself what would jesus do?
probably string himself up like i want to"
chorus
chorus
Come
standing on the precipice
i'm directly causing this
misconceptions taking hold
act now ere i get too old
all foundations wearing thin
let the aftermath begin
darkness hold me when i SNAP
there's nothing left to make me
calm down/don't let me
calm down/don't let me
leaning out over this pit
i'm directly causing it
moral fibre starts to tear
fuck redemption - i don't care
jaundiced chimps are marching on
morning star begets the dawn
pastel plebs are making sick
i'm never gonna
calm down/don't let me
calm down/don't let me
the legacy of lagomorpha
dragging at my skin
reaching out into the hole
idleness will take its toll
stomach rising to my throat
time to embrace the remote
leave the mehums to expire
i will embody the fire
tear my psyche into shards
calm down/don't let me
calm down/don't let me
the legacy of lagomorpha
draggin at my skin
take me from this hypersomnia
let me drop
"when you come
you'll always come with me
beneathe the dirt and squalor
come
the it that words cannot hold
come with me
and feel...something.."
one decisive action and it's done
no way to go back now
drawn to the voice in the dark
so i drop
one decisive action and i'm gone
the wind and the fractals
crashing into the earth is always worth the rush of falling
calm down/don't let me
calm down/don't let me
don't let me
Jesus Motherfucking Christ, It's Alive!
i got a glimpse of the fluffy white tail
so i drop
further and further hunting the elusive axiom
if i can find you i'll cut you in half
my lungs are gone, the elephant's on fire but i can't stop screaming
(everything is a symptom)
who is the one more trustworthy than all the buddhas and sages?
answer this and the whole world melts away
Zeno lied, but noone could prove it
and behind every curtain is the glorious radiation
somebody asked me what would make a kid kill another kid
i said it was directly caused by the big bang, the logos
trying to track the echos that bounce behind my eyes becomes as futile as
trying to detect a cat's pulse by dropping pianos on it
(everything is a symptom)
i'll give you a clue - it's not you, but i guess it is
i am the change that you can't be
Wake
this is your wake
down the granite steps from the mortuary
my eyes are sore from mourning this dying species
on it's back and praying in the dust
i'm ashamed
i am not like you and will never be like you
we offer skin to neon gods
while doves burst aflame in the air
take a look around you'll find the visions come unconcionable
i split the atom with a line and watch the planets fade
it's almost overwhelming can't escape this knowledge i could
say the word and it would change
and it gets to me
the silver skinned ants rush the candies
making faces at the plastic eyes
i pity the sheep who won't find water on it's own
i am embarrassed to share genes with you
don't call me immature
just coz i'm pissed of, i see a wrong and i will fix while you
content yourself with being content
but fuck that for a joke
life's too short for apathy
take a look around you'll find the visions come unconcionable
i split the atom with a line and watch the planets fade
it's almost overwhelming can't escape this knowledge i could
say the word and it would change
and it gets to me
it fucking gets to me
wake
wake
i'll leave you in my
the morning never ever ends
the mourning never ends fucker
the morning never ever ends
i see the garden burning through the bars
i've gotta get to it
i cut shapes in myself
to remind me what i am
all the mindless chimps, biting at my ankles
all bared fangs, and bound in business nooses
bred for swallowing lies whole
when you wake there will be blood and screaming
flooded like a newborn
