A Beginner's Guide To Self Destruction

i break the cord across my back
a little pain
to fight away the creeping dark, and i know
this feral in my side
take unto this body as it grows and grows and grows

she tried to warn of the volcano in my belly but i don't care
i'm so full of sick and bile and hatred
and boredom
so i wait
as it grows and grows and grows and grows

the old condition cuts into my thumb like a rusty pin
and i
don't want to control myself, i
don't want to control myself, i
don't want to control myself at allll

and i think
like the self defeating prick that i am
there's no way of knowing just how badly this will end
the aching in my gut as it grows and grows and grows

chorus

this bottle's gotta break sometime
i've swallowed gelignite and glass, i know what will come to pass
this mountain's gotta blow sometime
i've swallowed gelignite and glass, i know what will come to pass
i've swallowed gelignite and glass, i know what will come to pass

she tried to warn of the volcano in my belly but i don't care

chorus

 

Antithesis of Cool

they tell us what we should know
three cheers for losing our souls
wrapping up the kiddies in the little white lie
hang us like a carcass so the meat can petrify
we'll teach our babies to die

no no no!

i stumbled out of your anaesthetic hell
don't understand why you castrate yourselves
you hide your eyes from the glory of the sun, like fucking worms
there's no excuse for what you have done to us

it's cool to be vapid
it's cool to be dense
i am the antithesis of cool

we're born upon bended knee
eat everything that we see
binding down the kiddies with hold our babies asleep

no no no!

chorus

it's cool to be placid
it's cool to be bland
i am the antithesis of cool

our lives revolve around what other people tell us we need
we suckle the tit of greed (NONONONO!!)
we live beneathe our parents' shadow
and so our art becomes more shallow
our one reaction is a sigh
and i know why

you're not a person, you're a disease with a mouth * 4

no no no no!


Head on a Stick

back of the throat like an itch i keep on rubbing
all the pictures of hate put a spring in my feet
i am made from the ashes of crickets and bad songs
my future is as black as my lungs

and i justify my rage with the cuts that i make to your tender eyelids
i recognise your faith as a tick to be cut out of you

the cycle slows
my vengence is whole

i won't fucking stop coz i don't need to and
i won't let you off because i can't
open my eyes
to open yours

livid i watched as your earth ran in circles
Killing Your Kids (tm) as a national sport
your stumbling block is the deathgrip of apathy
i wanna change you. i want change

i terraform my skin to represent this need for violence
i ressurect my pain to give me the strength to push you push you

the idols burn
my vengence is pure

i won't fucking stop coz i don't need to and
i won't let you off because i can't
i've opened my eyes
to open yours

tear at your throat coz you don't need it
i won't let you go because i can't
i've opened my eyes
to open yours

take
what you're given

break
what you are

sun
coming nearer

bow to me

(eye who can't see)

cut me down, they mesmerise
two who are one will rise


Everyone who ever said anything nice about you was lying

it's so cold and dangerous out in the wild world
i could get my ego crushed
someone might put sticks in my eyes
better to hovel in front of the warm glow of the television, where everyone tell me how nice i am
i take dead fashion and wear it like dead skin
because it's classic, man, and safe
and the wild world is just so, you know, wild
i should go on dr.phil, he'd sort me out
i need someone to put me together


Factors of Six

the chalk beneath my fingernails
and i try, can't bring myself to stop
i'm frankly underwhelmed
not even trying to drag yourself from up against the wall

(and i'll never be far enough away)

you cannot contain us, your world is just our toy

run, run

the scabs beneathe my fingertips
as i try, to break through this fleshy wall
i'll never understand
the puppet inclination that leaves you hanging up against the wall

(and i'll never be far enough away)

you cannot contain us, your world is just our toy

(get out/get out/get out/get out)

run run run away


Disintegrator

and i watched it come down
like a heirophant, like a bomb, and iii
breathe the air of dissent
like a perfume to cover the smell of decay and iii

break down

constricted by the expectations of the dumb, and iii
lay the salt where all that's rotten grows, i don't care anymore
and iii

break down
the bondage of your dead traditions
down
fuck content i'll burn your planet down

the empty voices drowned out by the sounds of the fleeing rats, and iii
dedicate myself to helping you fall, so fuck your rhetoric and fuck your lust for human stagnation

chorus

you're just a figment of your own inebriation

and i watched it come down
like a heirophant, like a bomb
i try to kid myself that maybe i could watch it crumble
but i can't and i won't and i

chorus

you're just a figment of your own inebriation

chorus


Meat Puppet

everything that happens is our fault

i'd never want to be here but i'm tied with silver thread
and my back it aches like canvass to the noise that's in my head

(i'll give you something to cry about)

my bouncy little sine wave tells you what to say
it'll push you when you're happy and pull you til you fray

(consider this, you are the master of your own imprisonment)


Belgrade Girls

the doors are locked, keep your eyes down, face up
noone you know, just keep your ears and your mouth shut
if you're quiet and calm it won't hurt
shut your face, turn around, lift your skirt

try to keep in mind that the cops are all mine
nobody that cares, it scares you - that's fine
i paid a lot for you
so you better make it worth it there's a client to see you

"in a past life i used to pray
seems nobody's listening anyway"

all the doors are closed n I can't get away
all the windows barred and I can't get
noone to talk to i can't get away
my baby's alone and i can't get away
freezing to death and I can't get
fucking cuts on my thighs and I can't get away
the dirty hands and i can't
god i could never go home and I can't get away

wake up little bitches coz it's time for work
get some makeup on those bruises or i'll go beserk
on you, like that one that wise the other day
took the girly to the river let her

are you jealous that in death she could leave?
i got ways of keeping order that you'll never conceive
isn't it your kid's birthday today?
if you fucking act up, i'll be sending something his way

"and i ask myself what would jesus do?
probably string himself up like i want to"

chorus
chorus


Come

standing on the precipice
i'm directly causing this
misconceptions taking hold
act now ere i get too old
all foundations wearing thin
let the aftermath begin
darkness hold me when i SNAP
there's nothing left to make me

calm down/don't let me
calm down/don't let me

leaning out over this pit
i'm directly causing it
moral fibre starts to tear
fuck redemption - i don't care
jaundiced chimps are marching on
morning star begets the dawn
pastel plebs are making sick
i'm never gonna

calm down/don't let me
calm down/don't let me

the legacy of lagomorpha
dragging at my skin

reaching out into the hole
idleness will take its toll
stomach rising to my throat
time to embrace the remote
leave the mehums to expire
i will embody the fire
tear my psyche into shards

calm down/don't let me
calm down/don't let me

the legacy of lagomorpha
draggin at my skin
take me from this hypersomnia
let me drop

"when you come
you'll always come with me
beneathe the dirt and squalor
come
the it that words cannot hold
come with me
and feel...something.."

one decisive action and it's done
no way to go back now
drawn to the voice in the dark
so i drop
one decisive action and i'm gone
the wind and the fractals
crashing into the earth is always worth the rush of falling

calm down/don't let me
calm down/don't let me

don't let me


Jesus Motherfucking Christ, It's Alive!

i got a glimpse of the fluffy white tail
so i drop
further and further hunting the elusive axiom
if i can find you i'll cut you in half
my lungs are gone, the elephant's on fire but i can't stop screaming

(everything is a symptom)

who is the one more trustworthy than all the buddhas and sages?
answer this and the whole world melts away
Zeno lied, but noone could prove it
and behind every curtain is the glorious radiation

somebody asked me what would make a kid kill another kid
i said it was directly caused by the big bang, the logos
trying to track the echos that bounce behind my eyes becomes as futile as
trying to detect a cat's pulse by dropping pianos on it

(everything is a symptom)

i'll give you a clue - it's not you, but i guess it is

i am the change that you can't be


Wake

this is your wake
down the granite steps from the mortuary
my eyes are sore from mourning this dying species
on it's back and praying in the dust

i'm ashamed
i am not like you and will never be like you
we offer skin to neon gods
while doves burst aflame in the air

take a look around you'll find the visions come unconcionable
i split the atom with a line and watch the planets fade

it's almost overwhelming can't escape this knowledge i could
say the word and it would change

and it gets to me

the silver skinned ants rush the candies
making faces at the plastic eyes
i pity the sheep who won't find water on it's own
i am embarrassed to share genes with you

don't call me immature
just coz i'm pissed of, i see a wrong and i will fix while you
content yourself with being content
but fuck that for a joke
life's too short for apathy

take a look around you'll find the visions come unconcionable
i split the atom with a line and watch the planets fade

it's almost overwhelming can't escape this knowledge i could
say the word and it would change

and it gets to me
it fucking gets to me

wake
wake
i'll leave you in my

the morning never ever ends
the mourning never ends fucker
the morning never ever ends

i see the garden burning through the bars
i've gotta get to it
i cut shapes in myself
to remind me what i am

all the mindless chimps, biting at my ankles
all bared fangs, and bound in business nooses
bred for swallowing lies whole
when you wake there will be blood and screaming
flooded like a newborn

chorus
chorus

Plummet ( I )

like saladin and chamcha i fall
like mesmer and towering set, yes i tumble
down
split this vessel like an egg

like icarus and wheeler i fall
like humpty and the ave'd maria i tumble
down
like baal and lazlo i fall
like freud and the nihilist Fool fucking tumble
it begins where as it ends
fist fucked from every direction

there is nothing here and i'm looking at it
there is nothing here and it screams

like donnie and omar i fall
like every damned race that's disgraced that planet's face
diluted in cascading tides
i let myself go
down
to dismantle your filth in my mind

there is nothing here and it screams


Irredeemably Fucked. ( O )

sleep lulls the chimps to death again
give me strength

i
the lungs that crack the earth in half
this voice is not my own

armchaired and waiting for the exit
your mundanity's been done

gaia must've been fuckin wasted
to let these monkeys breathe

there's a message on my knuckles i'd like you to read.

all the cops in the world could not stop me
all the fucking cops in the world

i'm just a instance of a creature
that makes misanthropes from clay

your contentedness meets my contempt
of narcoleptic stupor

if only this vitriol could save me
but we're all irredeemably fucked.

there's a message on my knuckles i'd like you to read.

all the cops in the world could not stop me
all the fucking cops in the world

all the cops in the world could not stop me
all the fucking cops in the world

all the cops in the world could not stop me
all the fucking cops in the world

all the cops in the world could not stop me
all the fucking cops in the world


CDFA ( O )

you can't do fucking anything, won't do fucking anything right
your god replaced your brains with a bloodclot
you can't do fucking anything, won't do fucking anything right
the only trick you're trying to pull is yourself
and it won't constrain me anymore

i wrestle with oxygen
while mehums suck the light out of fluerescent tubes
tired faces haggard with a whimpering grin
i never agreed to this
i never agreed to this

chalk another failure to the bloodied and weak
you're like a dog that's trying to speak

you can't do fucking anything, won't do fucking anything right
your god replaced your brains with a bloodclot
you can't do fucking anything, won't do fucking anything right
the only trick you're trying to pull is yourself
and you won't constrain me anymore
and you won't constrain me anymore

drag the line across my fucking eyes
your automatic babble is testament to ducks
feed another infant to the gluttonous maw
i never agreed to this
i never agreed to this

chalk another failure to the bloodied and weak
you're like a dog that's trying to speak

you can't do fucking anything, won't do fucking anything
right?

The rabbit speaks: “there's something altogether wrong with this picture
did you draw it with your feet, come on, you're not even trying.
How's this captious rant supposed to capture anything new, when noone's listening to you?

if you don't like our company than stand by yourselves
if you don't like the party then leave”

i can't do fucking anything, won't do fucking anything
i can't do fucking anything, won't do fucking anything
i can't do fucking anything, won't do fucking anything
right?
Right.


Portrait of a Young Man as a Shithead ( I/O)


The Nightmare From Which You Cannot Awake ( O )

[i think thou doth protest too much]
[whoever smelt it dealt it]

you're fucked
you're fucking with me
this is the lamest fucking leperfied shit
i wish i could forget

semantics break down tryna push this filth back at you
you had every opportunity in the world

and this is what you do with it

you're fucked
you're fucking with me
this is the lamest fucking leperfied shit i wish i could forget

a universe of cataclysm waits under your eyes
but you can't see it for the neon of your smile

you had every opportunity in the world
and this is what you do with it

(i try my best not to be swallowed by my anger...you make it so hard.
i take a breath to try and keep my hate in check...you make it so hard.)

i cannot believe you could fuck me up like this
i cannot believe I could fuck me up so completely
holy rabbit do me wrong

Another Lost Kid ( O )

and I awoke to silence bearing corpses for the mantelpiece
and i awoke to lovers teaching children to be fat
shut it out. shut it out.
The amniotic architecture turns us into serfs

there's only so many tantrums before they call it wolf
so few violent reactions before they lock you up
but i'd kill any motherfucker if i thought it'd change a thing.

Don't want to hear them say i was a lost kid, was a lost kid

and i awoke to chickens selling horror to complicit ants
and i awoke to masochistic bleating machines
shut it out. shut it out.
the amniotic architecture turns us into dirt

there's only so many tantrums before they call it wolf
so few violent reactions before they lock you up
but i'd kill any motherfucker if i thought it'd change a thing

don't wanna hear them say i was a lost kid.


Exit Sub ( I )


Hits Limbo From A Great Height( I )

burning mouthwash makes me spin
i died today again and again
(think i'm alive)
i hit limbo from a great height, past primeval laws
to where my fiction is stronger than yours

serrated noises come from the planet above
but they can't shove their stories on me I
escaped here because
my shoulderblades have room to expand
i find myself in Nothing

my blood and shit are a brick road (so what)
I build my fortress in limbo (so what)
spread like moths across the mountain
to institute a new ephemera

(they do not what they know)

my blood and shit are a brick road (so what)
i build my fortress in limbo (so what)
spread like moths across the mountain
to institute this new ephemera

it always hurts when bones break skin
i know the worst is where i've been
so what
the weight of the ages
draws my fingers to fist

cutting space between the memes
you see a face, don't know what it means
so what
fuck the atoms and apples
my fiction is stronger than yours

(but everything fragments eventually)
(at sufficiently high temperature even Nothing becomes something)


This Relentless Momentum ( I )

fall on forever
never let me slow down

the vortex of flying fuck around in this velocirapid whirlpool; pangaeae, endless once you dig enough

fall on forever
never let me slow down

(and i'll never be far enough away)

drop from the plane
of existence, a futile

every movement to the left and i careen unto the aether when you're static you're static momentum is the constant

drop from the plane
of existence, a futile

fall

i jumped across the wall, across the sand

torn up, they'll never
put me back and restart

increase the volume every stimulus turns into white noise, i see it but i don't know what i am

the pull of humans i am weightless and weighted it becomes a quark becomes an atom becomes pan fucking pan

torn up, they'll never
put me back and restart


Jumped ( O )


i jumped the fucking gun
my lungs were smashed against the pavement
should've looked before i ran my mouth
all over your walls

and i am sick of killing myself daily in my lust for you
it's so cliche'd but so sincere

in this arrogant ascent i made the fuckbuddy of ages
pissing in the street i grind my teeth into gums
what kind of prick would kill himself so mercilessly for nothing?

i am so confused, but so sincere

i finally figured it out, i finally figured all along
figured i'm alone inside you

(it comes for your eyes)


The Gimp Man Cometh ( I )



it's all gone horribly wrong
the highs always end before you're ready
but this void cuts more vivid with every tick tock tick tock

i reek of curdled milk, hands covered with illegible scrawl
if i could suck one breath of clarity before it drags me deeper underwater...

again

stay with me
turn the lights on

(til every hour on the hour)

the gimp man comes and beats the fuck out of us

i'm not black, it's just the blood seeping under my skin
i'm not dead, it's just the hole they've created in me

splintered walls leave knuckles cracked
momentum became a constant became a cell
naive, gullible, always expected it to

stay

stay with me
turn the lights on

(til every hour on the hour)

the gimp man comes and beats the fuck out of us

i'm not black, it's just the blood seeping under my skin
i'm not dead, it's just the hole they've created in me

it goes on for hours -?
it goes on forever


Beat ( I )


beaten like a queen
beaten like a whore
beaten into dust
beaten half to death, then
beaten just a little bit more

beaten like a sinner
beaten like a swan
beaten like a child
beaten down
beaten like you wish you'd beaten everyone

beaten like a god
beaten like masoch
beaten like an abo running from the cops

take another look at my skin
scar tissue stops the punches from getting in

damage to the womb makes the baby mad * 4

beaten like prescription
beaten like a game
beaten into shape
beaten senseless
then beat some back in again

beaten like a witch
beaten like a saint
beaten black and blue
beaten fit to faint

take another look at my skin
scar tissue stops the punches from getting in

damage to the womb makes the baby mad *4
damage to the womb makes it fucking insane with anger*4

there's something that grows in my belly
and it'll come
screaming of the pain of existence
i wait
this body is a meat shell waiting to crack
we will expire together


Pentagonal Plywood Prison ( I )


the breaks come fast
hardly perceived, already passed
and i know

my head packed with wool
i am placated, bloated, full
and i know

(and it gets us all)

just a minute little lapse
homeostasis entraps
and i know

i failed like you
only much better at pushing through
and i know

(and it gets us all)

fall on your crutches
i've smashed you before
stop
i am a Cause
and i'm happening to you
just
try and stop it
this immutable force
down
down

the beats run slack
i refuse to go back

fuck this hypnotic reverie
fuck drifting to death and normalcy
and i know

fall on your crutches
i smashed you before
stop
i am a Cause
and i'm happening to you
just try and stop this
immutable force
down
down

you think you can do worse to me than i've done to myself
you got buckley's, fucker
i did it to me, i did it to myself, and i can move you like water like air
the power of masoch gives this prison intention and splits it to
splinters
as i destroy everything that comes into my awareness


Arch ( O )


it goes for hours
it goes forever
raise me, raise me
it comes and goes

split between these two capillaries

it goes for hours
it goes forever
raise me, raise me
it comes and goes

all the conduits are bonding
the garden continues to call me
leave this wooden box so shattered
as if this instance even mattered

arghghghghghh!!!!

take a chisel to the ancients
the stomach starts to swell
i can't help my free will,
it happens by itself.

take a chisel to the ancients
the stomach starts to swell
i can't help my free will,
it happens by itself.

it grows a spine

split between these two capillaries

it goes for hours
it goes forever
raise me, raise me
it comes and goes


Inchoate ( I )


now,
i crossed the wall
geometry unfolding
growing out like a

spine
the chimps will splutter on like broken clockwork
there's nothing here for me

gotta get out, i gotta get out of this
universe i am in the wrong i am
not an accountant or a child
put to test this stronger fiction
i am fury, i am a bridge
that spans the multiverse like crippled dreams
the conduit
flows
like heat through glass
pushitpushitpushmeout
now, i crossed the wall
it grows a spine
to set example for the shadows

this new incarnation as inevitable as death
i'll cut you to ribbons to prove we're alive
it waits behind your vision

my
limbs explode
into a million transformations
we've never been more
sane

i build this framework up around myself
in this cycle of dead
and exploding gods
now
this is a lie
that pulls the bodies into line
the conduit
that spins the planets on their axis
let physiology catch up

this new incarnation as inevitable as death
i'll cut you to ribbons to prove we're alive
i'll knife myself to prove we're alive
it waits behind your vision

(it comes for your I's...)


The Architecture is Wrong ( O )


it seems accidental. it seems so unnecessary and yet...
seizuring upon this flypaper
we cannot understand the things that move us

we react and react again
there's no consciousness
i do not what i know

the architecture's wrong
the architecture's wrong
the architecture is wrong

we force ourselves to forget

responsibility's a myth for lawyers and priests
i didn't mean it ma, the mammals on the moon told me to

the architecture's wrong
the architecture is wrong
the architecture's wrong

i'm sorry but i'm not
that i built this staircase hoping kids would crack their stupid fucking heads

the architecture's wrong
the architecture is wrong
the architecture's wrong

this infinite digestive tract, this archaic limbo for all
towers jutting inwards like teeth,
turning every serpent to handbags

it seems so

it wasn't me, it was the electrical impulses behind my forehead
the pheremones made me let the pheremones make me do this

please remember this before sending birds to claw at my innards
please remember this before letting me glance at a mirror


Voices ( O )


There's Nothing Here And It Screams ( I )


crawling from container to container
with hair threaded into the carpet
a linear series of rooms interlinked
we can simulate anything

she stands behind my cones and rods
glaring at fractured refractions
arteries pulsing zeroes and ones
there's no escape from what has begun

if it wasn't a dream you'd lose your mind
if it wasn't a dream you'd be lost completely

to stave off our boredom
she impaled herself
deep up into the stomach
to keep the children entertained
she died to stave off boredom

this avatar i followed
as the bodies turned to ash
i can't tell if they're ears, or horns
or just a curly moustache

let me tear another strip from these dry bones
only one thing ever happened
when the sun comes up everything drowns
in this glee and mutilation

black and white are shades
distinction is only for convenience

if it wasn't a dream you'd lose your mind
if it wasn't a dream you'd be lost completely

we'll be the joyful ones
buried under concrete driveways
pissing and shitting ourselves and laughing
(pissing ourselves
and shitting ourselves
and pissing ourselves laughing)

let me tear another strip from these dry bones
only one thing ever happened
when the sun comes up everything drowns
in this glee and mutilation
