Melt this flesh
Grind these bones
'Til I'm nothing
But me

The void is my soulmate
And it's yours if you've a genuine say
And the reason that my soul aches, that my heart breaks
Is the void wants to steal me away
The emptiness loves me
The way ain't nobody does
It starves and it shoves me, leather gloves me
And it feels so good because
One size fits all
This physical dimension
Does nothin' for the person inside
And since God is an invention, no ascension
Will ever turn this barren tide
But the body's just a shell of us
The void knows what we're about
It serves to develop us and envelop us
It molds to us inside and out
One size fits all
One size fits all
The void writes me notes
Perfumed in black cursive, pressin' my buttons
Seductively it gloats
Of all it can provide by the dozens and dozens
It sends me a carriage
To the other side, never to return to hard times
My hand in marriage
Is all it asks, knelt with a ring that chimes:
One size fits all
One size fits all
We rise, we fall
One size fits all
It's a toxic relationship, I know, I know
'Cause when I play easy to get, I know, I know
The void will lose its interest, I know, I know
It's never worth the permanence, I know, I know
One size fits all

Birds and Beasts
02:57
|

On the 5th day
God created flight
Feathered ballet
God, what a pretty sight
Gave each a song
For each resounding chest
So they sang along
Damsels undistressed
And He saw that it was good
What is good?
He saw that it was good
What is good anyway?
On the 6th night
God created beasts:
Bears of appetite
Wolves of bloody feasts
Weighted to the ground
With the sky above
Songless in sound
Envious of love
And He saw that it was good
What is good?
He saw that it was good
What is good anyway?
My crocodiles snap at feathered friends
Bulls run through my genetic strings
Blessed are the hungry and
I yearn to have wings
And He saw that I was good
But am I good?

dadaddadadadadaaaaaaa
dadadadadadadadaaaaaaa
It was a place of rest
It was warm, soft
It was eternity
For the worthy
But none are worthy for long
I, of impure bloodline, was cast beyond the gates
And fell from heaven
Never to enter again
Drive away
Heaven fades
Behind
Now it is a tainted memory
It is a blind signpost
It is a crumpled diary page
And the ink stains my days
That elapse under this heathen sun
As I walk this cursed civilization
Constrained in flesh
A human
dadaddadadadaaaaaaa
dadaadadadaaaaaaa

Buried Alive
03:59
|

the toe bone
the foot bone
the heel bone
the ankle bone
the shin bone
the knee bone
the thigh bone
the hip bone
the back bone
the shoulder bone
the neck bone
head
Ooh, marvelous, marvelous gadgetry
Circuits of majesty
Buried alive
Ooh, all of the cells that exist in me
Ever persist in me
God, what a jive
Asphyxiated by the skin it bears
It's a sad state of evolutionary affairs
When an organism buckles from too much of what it's meant to be
So cut another notch in the bible belt
It'll take a climate crisis for the pounds to melt
And the inbred bulldogs are running this century
My brain's about as urgent as a bureaucrat
Who'd rather bottleneck systems than trim the fat
And my body's not a temple - it's a government facility
The pavement and the wheel make a fortunate pair
But it doesn't really matter if you're goin' nowhere
Cause the traffic's full stop, revving engines in futility
Ooh, marvelous, marvelous gadgetry
Circuits of majesty
Buried alive
Ooh, all of the cells that exist in me
Ever persist in me
God, what a jive
Skeletal, muscular, renal, nervous
The systems in me all provide a life-giving service
It's beautiful to witness them in action to recant the kill
My body feels the pain to prevent self-harm
And when alcohol flows the liver sounds the alarm
(Though the reproductive system is a system I shant fulfill)
The blood that pumps the oxygen for sunken boners
Is also what preserves the goods of organ donors
But otherwise my guts are just immaculate Polyfil
The purpose-driven life is just a ruse from the druids
I know I'm but a mass of bone and bodily fluids
And in the end I'll feed the worms like every other body will
Ooh, marvelous, marvelous gadgetry
Circuits of majesty
Buried alive
Ooh, all of the cells that exist in me
Ever persist in me
God, what a jive
Ooh, marvelous, marvelous gadgetry
Circuits of majesty
Barely alive
Ooh, all of the cells that exist in me
Ever persist in me
Just to survive

The Ballad of Broke Dick
03:26
|
|||
(I'm never gonna have a foreskin again)
Once upon a time
There was a dick
And yeah it wasn't much worth lookin'
It was hardly longer
Than it was thick
Though not a choad it was forsooken
Got happy all the time
Just like a stray
Waggin' its tail at passersby
But when a friendly hand
Came its sorry way
It didn't want to even try
This dick is broken
And so the dick
Fell through the years
Didn't excel at dickin' school
It did find a way
To shed its tears
But not in the way it was meant to
Who would ever want
This abomination
Of gaudy, useless flesh and blood
Hanging like a nail
No vindication
Only the curse of dysmelia
This dick is broken

Crucify (Finale)
02:22
|
|||
(chop it off!)
The only thing my dick ever did for me was get me addicted to porn
Kept scratchin' that itch to bleed no matter how I'd sworn
It's only natural to have physical needs
But you gotta be masterful to keep from plantin' seeds
that turn to weeds that turn to deeds that turn to seeds
I wanna yank the fuckin' roots out of this attraction, no primal actions fulfillin' me
I wanna kill the way to climax, 'cause all that gets me off is hard fellation
I wanna mutilate my body through male castration 'cause this damnation is killin' me
I wanna crucify my penis & bury my scrotum inside an iron maiden
Wish my soul could be released from evolutionary ties
Seems the only way I'll get some peace is if some part of me dies
I crave some purity that I will never find
There's no one sure as me both love and lust are blind
They poison the minds of humankind; I hit rewind
dnecsnart I nac htaed hguorht ylno ;yloh si gnihton ;ytinamuh sedavrep ytilanrac
I must melt my flesh and grind my bones until I'm nothing
but me
