Perfect little spouses
in perfect little houses
it's family fun time
let's commit a hatecrime
....if i can't be loved, then i'll be hated.
i'm disconnected
i'm uninspired
i'm burning in water
i'm drowning in fire
i'm trapped inside my mind
beneath these piles of stinking life
you use this abuse to keep me conquered
you're so absurdly common
vacant faces
brainless strangers
sputtering, stuttering insect language
i'm the creature you created
everyday i grow jaded
calloused and exasperated
if i'll never be loved
then i'll be hated
i'm one of the
freaks, the faggots,
the geeks, the savages,
rogues, rebels, dissident devils,
artists, martyrs, infidels ...
do we sit still
under attack?
or do we start pushing back?
never back up
never back down
& FIGHT.

i'm human pollution
i covet retribution
i'm just a big mistake
a defect you can subjugate
your ridicule is just typical antics
spineless, mindless, tragic, fanatic
puritan, bigot
lunatic, hypocrite
to save my soul from disaster
self-destruction could be the answer
if i'll never be loved
then i'll be hated
i'm one of the

rogues, rebels, dissident devils,

i swear
by my sin loving soul
i can taste your sins
all over me
i see broken angels
with splintered halos
i'm the serpent
swallowed by the sun
my gentle obsession with
corrupt nutrition
i can taste the madness
dripping from your tongue
between the spaces to
scratch the itch
my sins of excess
prove to me that i exist
my lips drip
secrets of the flesh
they fold into a blade
and beg "make me wet"
i cant help myself
SWEET TOOTH
seduced by my obsession
i'll build my own religion
so i can taste the secret places
that set you on fire
you are my favorite
most dangerous
fascination
tempt me devil
teach me what you think i need
her fingers are Caesar
slowly conquering me
we move like Buddahs
twisted in a silent scream
our souls explode
& merge with the Shiva frequency
the meat is sweet
is it love? or is it lies?
to burn in the heat
of the fire in her eyes
my lips drip
a soft song of love and flesh
that folds into a blade
and beg "make me wet"
i cant help myself
SWEET TOOTH
seduced by my obsession
i'll build my own religion
so i can taste the secret places
that set you on fire
tempt me
teach me
feed me
heal me
i feel like being bad
the tyrant of my desire
a blushing rosebud begging to be plucked
i feel like being...
inside you baby
it was an atomic testing site
explosive but corrosive
but oh, what a delight
they say the body's a temple
& desires a sacrifice
devils speak, angels weep
for my sacred appetite
seduced by my obsession
i'll build my own religion
so i can taste the secret places
that set you on fire
explosive but corrosive
but oh, what a delight
devils speak, angels weep
for my sweet tooth's sacrifice
take my temperature baby
this is what you taste like
when our souls collide
i can conquer everything
that defeats me in life
feed me
eat me
drink me
promise i'll never be bored
and i'll be yours tonight
this is what you taste like
this is what you taste like
this is what you taste like

(With the perfect hair
and the perfect wife
and the perfect kids
and the perfect life
i can finally be somebody ...)
let's play born-again american,
resistance is the game!
two pigs wearing suits
brought the news
that I'm wanted by the bank
they say the rent is due
Caesar's onto you
so you better remember your place
then they outsourced my job
and gave a raise to my boss
bailed out the banks
but billed me for the loss
they say we must submit
and be one with the Machine
because the Kingdom of Fear
needs compliance to succeed
so waterboard the kids for fun
it's all the rage
and play born-again American
Resistance is the game
SMASH THE CONTROL MACHINE
work buy consume die
SMASH THE CONTROL MACHINE
happy little slaves for minimum wage
the revolution will be monetized
and streamed live via renegade wifi!
the clinic said i'm sick
toxic ..... and impure
but there isn't any cure
for the poor or uninsured
so we live our digital lives
on multiple screens
and we forget that
the blood of the workers
grease the machines
in the Psalm of the Fiends
Love ...... discriminates
while the fat cats feed the rats
their daily dose of cake
so waterboard the kids for fun
it's all the rage
and play born-again American
Resistance is the game
SMASH THE CONTROL MACHINE
work buy consume die
SMASH THE CONTROL MACHINE
happy little slaves for minimum wage
SMASH THE CONTROL MACHINE
work buy consume die
SMASH THE CONTROL MACHINE
haters betrayers liars and thieves
((america))
she sold her soul
for designer clothes
for the perfect lips
and the perfect nose
the winner in the end
always owns the most
reality tv told her so!
(mammonites)
money changer!
greedy bankers!
This is the Peoples House!
my minister has a sinister plan
to save my soul with a credit card scam
exploitation is contagious
for the selfish & self-inflated
start a war, use the poor,
watch our profits soar & soar
we've become a nation of wolves
ruled by sheep
owned by swine
overfed & put to sleep
and while the media elite
decrees what to think
i am wide awake
on the edge
and on the brink
so when Atlas Shrugs
and The Fountainhead bleeds
and when Wallstreet Apostles
preach a gospel of greed
i'll renounce the fame of this gluttonous age
and be a Born-again American
Resistance is to Blame!
SMASH THE CONTROL MACHINE
work buy consume die
SMASH THE CONTROL MACHINE
happy little slaves for minimum wage
SMASH THE CONTROL MACHINE
a nation of wolves - ruled by sheep!
exploitation is contagious
exploitation is contagious
exploitation!
. . .

in that final look
does the deer forgive the wolf?
you've stolen my fascination
you've smothered my holy addiction
and now i'm soaked in you
like fat white worms & sad haikus
i woke up
& the world was on fire
i woke up
& the swine had conspired
to erase all the faith
that i have in the human race
i woke up
& the world was on fire
it's all in your head
it's all in your head
they said i need to flee
are they the shepherds?
or are they sheep?
are we the butchers?
or are we meat?
in this nest of lies
living a life under siege
we sink in the stink
& i need my disease
it's all in your head
they said i need to flee
this neverending
ordinary monarchy
beneath the toxic water
where my secrets come to meet
in catacombs of shadow
& wet skies of mystery
i found a soggy savior
a painted lady made of eyes
she sings to me, of my deceit...
"your life is a lie"
i woke up
& the world was on fire
i woke up
& the swine had conspired
to erase all the faith
that i have in the human race
i woke up
& the world was on fire
it's all in your head
it's all in your head
they said i need to flee
are they the shepherds?
or are they sheep?
are we the butchers?
or are we meat?
in this nest of lies
living a life under siege
we sink in the stink
& i need my disease
it's all in your head
they said i need to flee
this neverending
ordinary monarchy
if we stand too still
they're gonna eat us alive!
watch your tongue
teach them young...
medicate the mutiny
better living through chemistry
self destruction's patriotic
money fixes everything
watch your tongue
teach them young...
we're taught
to love & hate,
to fight & obey...
i've lost my mind
but i've found my way
(in this nest of lies every wall has eyes)
it's all in your head
it's all in your head
they said i need to flee
are they the shepherds?
or are they sheep?
are we the butchers?
or are we meat?
in this nest of lies
living a life under siege
we sink in the stink
& i need my disease
it's all in your head
they said i need to flee
this neverending
ordinary monarchy

i'm tired of being tired
sick of being sick
erase & escape
the meathooks of reality
lock the door
load your guns
& pray for nothing
(i dont care, i dont care
i dont care, i dont care)
and daddy's shooting smack
and mama's smoking crack
and teacher is a sex addict
and preacher has a porn habit
and sister's sucha whore
and my life is a bore
take your vitamins
whiten your teeth
comb your hair
know when to speak
they say jesus was a masochist
but maybe they said, pacifist
oh sweet goddess of narcotics
on my knees i pray
just give me one more dose
& make it go away
make me completely
numb & dumb
(watch your tone, obey the law
know when to bend, believe in god)
i took his wife into my mouth
like a piece of wedding cake
i went back for extra helpings
& then i cleaned my plate
still covered in her yolk
the wet drug of my addiction
i'm nature's little criminal
a selfish crucifixion
oh sweet scarecrow in the sky
you have all the answers but
we will never die
oh sweet goddess of narcotics
on my knees i pray
just give me one more dose
& make it all go away
make me completely numb & dumb
i ran out the front door
the devil's at the back
whispering to the sea
& above
a black feathered sun
drunk on teenage meat
i dont care, i dont care
i dont care, i dont care
make me completely numb & dumb
medicate & sedate
pass the punishment i need another fix
. . .

i wish i didn't know
what i know
i wish i could pretend
like they do
if i could
i would
smile &
forget
& there's a child
out on the battlefield
a pistol in each hand
he trades a kill for a meal
& it's oh, so surreal
& it's oh, so surreal
& there's a man
standing on top of a hill
screaming freedom for some
but all others must kneel
& it's oh, so surreal
& it's oh, so surreal
apathy is so hip
everybody's doing it
in your sterile life
in your sterile life
a little girl's lost
on the streets of L.A.
she complains about the sharks
but plays the part of the prey
& it's oh, so surreal
& it's oh, so surreal
apathy is so hip
everybody's doing it
in your sterile life
in your sterile life
apathy is so hip
everybody's doing it
in your sterile life
in your sterile life
(antiseptic ways)
i don't care
but i lie
never feel
never try
empty people
empty steeple
if all the opportunists
& leaders of men
were forced to fight
in the wars they began
if we could starve the rich
& hurt the cruel
if we could take revenge
& leave it all in ruins
what would you do?
what would you do?
what would you do
if we did it to you?
apathy is so hip
now, there's silence
like the lips of the dead
now, there's silence
turning inside my head
smile & forget
pretend like they do
smile & forget
pretend like they do
apathy is so
everybody's doing it
apathy is so
everybody's doing it
(& children
will go to sleep
hungry tonight)

you have 7 more seconds to
decipher your life
before my tongue becomes a
blade & your brain gets sliced
i warned you before, i'm
addicted to war
i was praying for armageddon
on the day i was born
incite & ignite
cried my muse
elevating IQ's as i enter
the room
it's elemental
defying gravity with these
lyrical miracles & street
philosophies
it's the chosen child
destroying idols like i'm Gideon
manipulating matter
transfer data like a pentium
processor, throw these
rocks atcha
i be the queen weaving dreams
with supreme lectures
infect ya, lyrically dissect ya
i got control of your soul
so no gods can protect ya
"you betcha!"
we can set ya free best
believe that this
tribe of mystery
was born and bred to conceive
brilliant galaxies of
mind expanding poetry
enemies know it's me, armed
with mental weaponry
ain't no testin me, the tribe
comes prepared to live
you're just a drone to the
hive, ain't no way you'll survive
ravage vanquish mangle destroy
RUN FOR COVER
RUN FOR COVER
NO ONE GETS OUT ALIVE
RUN FOR COVER
RUN FOR COVER
NO ONE GETS OUT ALIVE
ripped at the seams
i destroy galaxies
word becomes flesh
i bring nations to its knees
so feel the blast as this broadcasts
out any doubt that real rhymes last
it's the voice of the apocalypse
the god of war
with Osiris' esophagus
an omnivore
take you higher than the
Krsna consciousness
from gotham to metropolis
the lesser gods eradicate the obvious
we fight for all of us so
get off the ground
weapon systems armed
it's about to go down
it's for the crown
ravage vanquish mangle destroy
RUN FOR COVER
RUN FOR COVER
NO ONE GETS OUT ALIVE
RUN FOR COVER
RUN FOR COVER
NO ONE GETS OUT ALIVE
craven!
there will be blood
on my fists
on your face
on the ground around us
this is pain
have a taste
i'm addicted to the rush
of bruises & bloodstains
dark god in my veins
i will hate it all away
no, nothing will remain
the enemy is me!
you weak, ineffectual plebe!
even jesus worships me
i bow down to none
your little light is like a candle
trying to outshine the sun
RUN FOR COVER
RUN FOR COVER
NO ONE GETS OUT ALIVE
inside my mind
where heaven & hell collide
you won't survive
suck!
& swallow your pride
suck!
& swallow pride
no one gets out alive
the enemy is me
THE ENEMY IS ME
. . .

I wish
I could have you here
in my clutches
to remove the excuses
from your mind
to part that haze
and slice your
soul into pieces
to sing a lullaby as
I tied you to the slab
to shave your head
with a dulling razor
as you watch
in the splattered
mirror above you
to break your ribs
individually
with a rock hammer
to shatter your
shin bones
with a shovel
to burn your
fingers & toes
to a necrotic black
with liquid nitrogen
to crack your teeth
with a splintered club
to pierce your limbs
with a nail gun
to silence your cries
to laugh in your eyes
to sharpen my favorite
slicing device
and take your
arms at the elbows
to keep you alive
for a few moments longer
to smell your fear
to cover your body
with kisses & kerosene
to watch u burn
as my human sacrifice
to hear you
scream in agony
to popping
of your flesh
crackling
as it cooks
to feel your child smile
the one u betrayed
to one you took
for nothing
for selfishness
..........in a
perfect world
I would get
my wish.

SINGING SINFUL SONGS
TO HYPNOTIZE & DEFY
SEX-STARVED LONELY GODS
I'M THE WOMAN CLOTHED
WITH THE SUN
THE MOON BENEATH MY FEET
I'M THE SILVER SPEAR OF ATHENA

stars litter the sky
the moon is shining high
this soft september night
two lovers out of sight
a maiden dressed in white
with copper hair
restless for adventure
she don't care
that the wolf is in disguise
she's been ensnared
he got the devil in his eyes
& stylish flair
he shoves her to the ground
her soul begins to drown
a sky full of eyes where the stars should be
a sky full of eyes watching silently
you're a woman now
you've become a woman now
the weight of the cradle has broken the bough
you've become a woman now
mama woke me up at dawn
she helped me put my best dress on
she braided flowers in my hair
so sweet was the summer air
i'm to meet my groom by the sea
a perfect stranger to correct me
the judges arrive in pairs of 3
don't be scared, just relax & breathe
good girls hold real still
surrender your free will
they cracked the crown
to pluck the pearl
here, on the jagged edge
of the world
you're a woman now
you've become a woman now
the weight of the cradle has broken the bough
you've become a woman now
standing on the welfare line
my daughter clinging to my side
i see the faith in her eyes
i whisper, baby we will be just fine
i'll get a good job
& we'll find a new place
i'll work real hard
& we'll make our escape
i promise you i will get us through
together we will bloom
you're a woman now
you've become a woman now
the weight of the cradle has broken the bough
you've become a woman now
you're a woman now
you're a woman now
you're a woman now

serv asat serv asat
serv asat serv asat
to exterminate the plague
soiling my brain
i put the pen to the pad
until the madness drains
cuz words are colossal
aggressive not docile
infectious like a brothel
no need to get hostile
calling all apostles
united we stand
they bleeding out
they nostrils
i'm wicked with hands
throwing vicious
combinations
witness devastation
i just fucked your soul
annihilation
feel the sensation
tickle & grow
spreading over your mind
& taking control
a noble savage on a rampage
war is all that i know
feeding hungry heads
defeating all your heros
art saves
make the pain
a weapon you can use
art saves
make the pain
a weapon you can use
from the moment i wake
it rains grenades
so i scribble on the page
& reality fades
i walk the scottish moors
with pagens on forest floors
test the sacraments
& conjure up thunderstorms
i hunt with Cernunnos
& dance with satyrs
conquer Rome in a day
& battle armored invaders
infested with ticks
this existence is shit
all these traitors in the trees
while the napalms drips
words burn their lips
like old roach clips
holy as i
infected by this
art saves
make the pain
a weapon you can use
art saves
make the pain
a weapon you can use
serv asat
i liberate the devils
in my head
through the paragraphs
crafted by my pen
these demons drip
on the page
my blind, multi-eyed
children of rage
i coulda took a bat to
the back of his head
or dropped a napalm bomb
on the bed as she slept
but i split
& wrote it down instead
AT LEAST NOW
YOU KNOW WHO
YOU'RE FUCKING WITH
i'm sick
but i'm free
you're weak
& i'm built for the siege

come with me
i will let you see with my words
i will let you burn & observe
but where i go
you can only follow
so close your eyes
open your mind
.........and see
somewhere
out in the dark
a car pulls up
& parks
& the passenger
shifts nervously in her seat
& butterflies
flutter in her belly
& the driver
shuts off the engines
& moves a little close
she giggles a little
as he unbuttons her blouse
she pushes him away
& he whispers
"aw baby, don't be that way.
i took you out, i treated you right.
now, don't put up a fight.
come on.
I ONLY WANT TO PUT THE TIP IN.
don't fight, don't fight. come on.
this is all your fault you know.
just relax, let me do what
i gotta do & i'll let you go.
don't you love me?
don't you love me?
DON'T YOU LOVE ME?"
Breathe in deep
a sea of desperate dreams
I have no mouth
& I must scream
Breathe in deep
a sea of desperate dreams
I have no mouth....
and somewhere
in a normal neighborhood
in a normal house
a normal family
is falling apart
and down the hall
the little ones hide
frozen as fossils
as their mother cries
listening
now that the others
have gone silent
the walls blister
as sister rises in defiance
here
in the depths of the labyrinth
she will make her mark
she travels the cavern
searching for the Minotaur
and she finds him
asleep in the heat
of his triumphs
a sparkle of flame
flickers in her eye
she nudges him softly
and says,
"Daddy, wanna give me a try?"
and he rumbles a roar,
"you must lick honey
from a thorn
if you are to survive
this night"
and she says,
"noooo, i'd rather pick a fight."
and he reaches out
and she's on attack
and he's face down
and she straddles his back
and as the moonlight fades from
his eyes
she sighs,
"come on, what's the matter?
don't you love me?
don't you love me?
DON'T YOU LOVE ME?"
Breathe in deep
a sea of desperate dreams
I have no mouth
& I must scream
Breathe in deep
a sea of desperate dreams
I have no mouth
& I MUST SCREAM!
what we are
you too will become
liberated children
of a blood-hungry god
sedition!
they used to hang
women like me,
strange fruit on
the poplar tree!
they used to own women like me
necessary accessories!
they used to burn women
like me,
to quell the fires of liberty
in the blessed cresent,
THEY STILL STONE
WOMEN LIKE ME!
and one day you will say
just like look at her now!
...and as everything
fades to black
...and as the jackals
laugh at the aftermath
(i'm not yours anymore)

Who's there?
Who's there?
And I remember
Flashes of laughter
And lunatics
Lost in the asylum
Seductive propaganda
Scrolling across my mind
Like guerilla cinema.
Belts and wooden spoons
Flies in the afterbirth
Like shadows across my brain
And crawling on linoleum kitchens
Streaming death and corporate concienceness into my brain
And cracked porclein sinks stuffed with
Dirty dishes.
The early morning anxiety of gradeschool
Dark stockings to hide the bruises.
Secret friends and festive holidays
And everyone in their sunday best
Pretending to like each other.
For generations and generations of
Sad mistakes.
Stealing away in the dead of night to
Escape the stiff jawed henchmen in the hungry trucks
Of an angry slumlord miles and miles away.
Impatient and understanding
Waking on the side of the road
Hissing radiator hoses cracked like
Burned skin.
Days so hot a nuclear holocaust would've felt like siberian blizzard.
And I remember
The first time I felt it alive inside me
Turning the deadweight
Moving within the folds of its winged embrace
Opening and sliding those black feathers
Inches at a time.
Those feet
Pushing and digging into the membrane
Deep enough to cause pregnancy
And I remember it going numb
And listening to it hum
And I feel it move in its mysteries
Exploring me
And I remember this
And I know
I never had a chance.
There's never any escaping it.
