Skin Job 03:40
Rain drenched city Battle scarred man Forced into a hunt For a synthetic clan They kill, to discover The body pile mounts, ever higher Demands, to a creator End the death clock count, Your time is up. Twice as bright, half the life. The hunt, closes in One by one retired, dead and gone On the brink of death, the hunter spared Allowed to live, but at what cost? Twice as bright, half the life. Tears lost in the rain Release the dove To escape the pain

A disturbed man, with a trap van I’ll lure you in, I need your skin Trapped in a well, Tasting the smell Stripped of your flesh, My personal dress Buffalo Bill, I sense a kill You will now bleed, to fill my need I only see meat, makes me complete Pupa to Moth, Your skin my cloth I utilise, night vision to see My incision Destroying your only hope It puts the lotion in the basket It puts the lotion on its skin.

Moonburn 04:08
I just want to go out at night Oh my god it’s far too bright The moon, it makes me blister and burn And the skin, falls from bone My skin – Blisters and burns And the flesh – Falls from bones Confined to a dark room Enclosed for what feels like my doom When I thought I could go out at night The moon conspires to cause my blight My skin – Blisters and burns And the flesh – Falls from bones I’m going, insane inside Trapped away from, the harsh light If I go outside, I will just die I’m rotting down, ashes and bone.

God's Cuntry 03:25
I’m just worthless, or so you say So fucking helpless, living like this each day My mind it wanders, wonders why I’m this way Born in the gutter, not going away. A daily battle, right from the start A daily struggle, deep within my heart I’m so worthless, or so you say It’s so fucked up, it’s every day You sharpen your claws, to make me pay Raised on hate, not living any day A daily battle, right from the start A daily struggle, deep within my heart I’m so worthless, or so you say It’s so fucked up, it’s every day This whole things pointless When you’re bringing me down My minds in pieces You are evil incarnate The struggle, the pain You are evil incarnate

Betrayal! Betrayer, that is who I am What I was born to be. Betrayal It’s what I do Can’t help this Fuck! Conscripted from birth Deceptiveness is my deed. Betrayal It’s what I do Can’t help this Fuck! Displaying a tendency Towards destruction of life Words of no meaning Conspire to bring me down.

Amazonian woman, takes a lot of loving. I would travel, to the ends of the world for you Just to end up lying with And in your muscly arms Amazonian Woman, takes a lot of loving. You will be my, Amazonian With me until, the rest of time. I will destroy anyone Who gets in the way of our love I would do anything Just to be with you again. You will be my Amazonian I would do anything To be with you for the rest of time.
7.
Praying for the day That salvation, is no longer a hope But a dream, we are all living in Abandon our existence to become free? Discharge our mind of worry Existing in a false memory of happiness When enslavement in the norm, We can never truly be free. Homo-sapien, a synonym, for death/destruction Sleepwalking into a life of pain No hope for a future Utopian Fallacies
