Tapeworm Womb
01:19
|
|

I crawled back into the womb - at least that was my intention
I found the vacancy filled
I dreamed me a weeping wound - tar black in constitution
No ins or outs
"Well let that be a lesson learned,
Chalk it all up to experience"

Hex Charmer

I'm whip smart/you're comatose
You're seldom right/I'm never wrong
A deaf and dumb witches' coven
Hexed me in semaphore
I stumble over in a crowded room
"I ought to know how the entrails read,
I've got to know how the viscera sleeps!"
Pressure's on to keep your hands to yourself
Any chance I get to smile thus:
"Out with your eyes!"
Be careful when I'm around.

Howl, Sleeper
01:22

When I lay down, I know I won't dream
...unless you've got something to show me
Wolves in the morning howl at the sun
That's where I got the idea from
(Lies we tell to ourselves - "I'll live")
I made you like this, and it's an improvement
But now you won't stop howling
And I CAN'T SLEEP

Perfunctory Blood

Crossing out the cells
Cross out all the cells
Holy messenger
Mourners wail and gnash their teeth
For the not yet deceased
(and for that reason)
I take no joy in opening my mouth
Cross me out

No Such Constellation
02:56
|
|
||
Cut me into a neverending rune
A bed of nails for you because -
You'll be holy rolling soon
Cut me in two/a never ending ruin
A bed of nails for you

A.S.D.F.

|

Nauseous rays of joy emit from the inflamed mind
"Who cares enough to dispute what I'm saying?
............................................"
Classicists' veins erupt in spiralling coils of light
"ARROWS THROUGH THE LAMB!"
Haunted doorway/through my mirror

Leave The Body
01:50
|
|
||
Wake up in a hole/distant inverted pyramid of shame
Naked and bleeding from the waist down
Sink me down into the drink
I can't leave, so you'll find me dumbly wailing "..."
Just can't leave that body alone
Wake up away from home/floating up into infinite ink
Where you'll find me dumbly wailing
"You're really going up in flames this time, motherfucker" - 1 day old, 1986

Ran to the circus, man - I guess my life got old
Surrendered up my flesh to a grinding stone
Brothers and sisters ain't know what I own
No piece of meat is equipped quite like my throat
Maybe it's punishment
Resigned to a past lie
What matters to me? I'll name you one thing:
ENTERTAINMENT
Well, what would sweet mommy say if she could see me now?
(Probably something along these lines)
"What matters to you? I think I've one clue:
ENTERTAINMENT"
That's what I can't accept: NO DARKNESS
To-do list:
Dance a little
Punch a butterfly
Auto-castrate
No

Those starving, circling vultures
Plot another murder
Homes are hives
Home's a hive
Homes our hives
Delicate spine
Whatever steps you take
It rebounds to you:
MINDS ALIVE, ALIVE-OH!
Life's unfair ad nauseam
