lyrics

Spinning hella hellish stories of devils and heavenly glory
Ignore the normalcy I’m bored in this purgatory
Deplorable, adorable, I’m not to be admired
A liar with my guts all gone, I flinch in front of the fire
I put my ego on an alter so I’ve got an alter ego
every where that we go he’s a hero, always cheerful,
I’m bound to be profound and deceased
or forgotten and rotten with honest beliefs
I try and shed some light but the darkness overpowers me
casting vast shadows that grasp a hold and devour me
My wicked ways have chipped away
at the friendly gaze in a strangers face
now all I can see are the demons in me
reflections projectin’ the evil in me
I feel no connection I feed off rejection
I speak with inflection to seem healthy
but it’s a façade I’m facetious indeed
dropped outta school I don’t need a degree
to scream at a wall till my voice box bleed
destroy myself and call it my dream
preach to the choir and call it a scene
and claim to maintain living happy and free
I’m plotting my escape in a cell of my own invention
servin’ sentences in personal hell of intention
visions of a healthy self overpowered by contentment
Never learn my lesson, I’m not myself, I’m an only impression

Dancin’ with the devil to heavy metal for the hell of it
don’t give a shit don’t give a fuck like I’m constipated and celibate
Spit cantrips and cast a spell you can tell my soul I’m sellin’ it
I’m quick with a quip and quit when I win, don’t play with me I’m delicate
The spiders that I eat in my sleep are crawlin’ back up through my teeth
to wrap me up in a web of deceit and feast on my freaky dreams
standing in formation it’s the age of information
change the station praise the nation everyday is a vacation
selfish celebrations and group think negations
Frankenstein society stitched up abomination
inhumane creators with no name for our creation

I go coast to coast like space ghost
In hopes of invoking the spirits of overly verbose stoic poets
playing host to the souls of radicals and hobos
the dispossessed and disposed will deal a deadly dose of prose
as they speak through me I raise a toast and propose
to carry on the legends
illuminate the present
using vengeance as our weapon we will question what is threatened
we must protect the essence
become possessed by our obsession
set a precedent to pay attention the presence
carry on the essence
carry on the essence
