Exhale
03:02
|
|||
Break me down below, I disintegrate
Underneath the weight
Of one more failed breath
That I refuse to take I want to feel real too
Just like a human, a human just like
I will read in between these lines
Give me the strength to stay up all night
(I want to feel real too, cos I'm a human just like you)
Down in the hollow of the artifice
It's where the lonely learn to breath with sacrifice
(I want to feel real too, cos I'm a human just like you)
Let the artificial rain
Until this sun bleed in again, and let me
Exhale, Out
As the sun comes pouring in
I'll forget everything that I could have been, and I'll
Exhale, Out
I want to feel real to
Cos I'm a human just like you
I want to feel real to, I want to feel real to
I want to feel real to
Cos I'm a human just like you
I want to feel real to, I want to feel real to
Build me up with bricks, I retaliate
Against all of these old ghost
And the chambers where they roam
The chambers only I know
That lie in between these folds
Because it's just muscle memory
Distorting every part of me
Let the artificial rain
Until this sun bleed in again, and let me
Exhale, Out
As the sun comes pouring in
I'll forget everything that I could have been, and I'll
Exhale, Out
I want to feel real to
Cos I'm a human just like you
I want to feel real to, I want to feel real to
I want to feel real to
Cos I'm a human just like you
I want to feel real to, I want to feel real to

Militant + Devout
02:27
|
|||
A pagan prince, I embrace whole
The laundry don't own me no more
The King of Kings has lost it's hold
Freedom is finally mine
Rip his picture up Saturday Night
The universal mother gave me a sign
I am militant and proud
A non believer and devout
I believe, I believe in so much more
Than the fairytale that I once wish for
I am militant and proud
A non believer and devout
I believe, I believe in so much more
Than the fairytale that I once wish for
I don't fear when I'm dead and gone
I've been gone for so long
Much longer than I've been hear before
There's nothing more than this spec of dust
Accept this unquenching thirst
To fill this hear until its fit to burst
The hear and no is what they're craving
Cos he's not saving
Anyone from what they're craving
No, he's not saving
I am militant and proud
A non believer and devout
I believe, I believe in so much more
Than the fairytale that I once wish for
I don't fear when I'm dead and gone
I've been gone for so long
Much longer than I've been hear before

Abstain
03:53
|

I'm no exceptional beauty
Let myself go in the past year or three
But I never though you'd compound how I feel
Might be true, that I enable you to ne
The person that hurts so maybe is should leave
Because your saviour, it's not for me
This might tare you apart I know it could so
I don't know if I should
Rip it up and let the piece fall where they may
If I chose to stay
Could you maybe abstain
If I chose to stay
Could you maybe abstain
Thought about racking up your credit card
Runaway with my best friend because this shit too hard
I know she'd put be back together when I fall apart
Maybe I should go to where I know I can breathe
But then I think about how I care your family
It's been ten years, what does that mean
This might tare you apart I know it could so
I don't know if I should
Rip it up and let the piece fall where they may
If I chose to stay
Could you maybe abstain
If I chose to stay
Could you maybe abstain

Hunger Hurts
03:56
|
|||
Spent half a lifetime starving myself as if
I don't deserver it just for the decedent
But then you showed me something you couldn't do
Rip out my heart, but dramatic, never would
That feeling in my pit, I feel it way down deep
I see you purge now, go ahead and eat it up
Then in the morning we can take it through
The bigger person when you do what you do
The hunger hurts but I think I love it
It reminds me that there is me and that's it
Glutton for punishment, I know it' be the same when you do this all again
Make me starve it out and then we will.....
You run your mouth now because it's all about you
All I hear is how much you love and here's the proof
But I'm the one who's been hollowed and devoured through
And I'm aware that it may have been just a taste
That doesn't mean that there's a drop of me to waste
You might have built me up but now you tare me down
The hunger hurts but I think I love it
It reminds me that there is me and that's it
Glutton for punishment, I know it' be the same when you do this all again
Make me starve it out and then we will.....

Chasing
03:22
|
|||
I reside between the lines
Of the lives much greater lived
Between artifice that I find easily
Artifice that I think I need
So, I reside within these nights
Let them hold me like it's the first time
Find a lover out on the dance floor
Find another in the bathroom stalls
And I fear the face, of a disappointment
A fucking disgrace
All the memories that I can't retrace
Cos in your arms
I know I could come to any harm
Invincible I know who you are
All the nights that I've spent chasing
Freedom in the hollow of your embrace
I could almost taste that freedom
All the days that I've spent searching
For meaning in an invisible face
I could almost taste that meaning
Another night more bloodshot eyes
A reflection that could make you cry
But face detection couldn't lie
And I fear the face, of a disappointment
A fucking disgrace
All the memories that I can't retrace
Cos in your arms
I know I could come to any harm
Invincible I know who you are
All the nights that I've spent chasing
Freedom in the hollow of your embrace
I could almost taste that freedom
All the days that I've spent searching
For meaning in an invisible face
I could almost taste that meaning
All the nights that I've spent running
All the nights that I've spent hanging
On the words of sacred ancient
All the nights that I've spent running
All the nights that I've spent hanging
On the words of sacred ancient
All the nights that I've spent chasing
Freedom in the hollow of your embrace
I could almost taste that freedom
All the days that I've spent searching
For meaning in an invisible face
I could almost taste that meaning

Sodomy
04:39
|
|||
Tell me are we underground again
Forcing landfill feeling on the underdog again
Perversion, it's your hot take
Perverse in the most beautiful way
Disgust or you fetishize
Discussing someone else live
Think you've got the right to discuss what's between somebodies thighs
You don't have the right
No more than I
To tell you what to believe in or to offer this blood sacrifice
When I hold him close in this public display that you see
And it's just sex act that you are able to perceive
Is this what you fear
Because it's just sodomy
Let disgust infiltrate your every thought of me
About what I do when I'm alone and he's with me
Is this what you fear
Because it's just sodomy
Now I stand on the shoulders of sodomites that came before
Bathed in the good word
Of apostates because you don't have moral monopoly no more
It's my business if I take or give
My business how I want to live
And it's my business to refuse the moral teaching you receive
It's not your business because you think I can prey it away
You know the only preacher putting their hands on me is Tammy Faye
When I hold him close in this public display that you see
And it's just sex act that you are able to perceive
Is this what you fear
Because it's just sodomy
Let disgust infiltrate your every thought of me
About what I do when I'm alone and he's with me
Is this what you fear
Because it's just sodomy
Fuck it, fist it, use it, feltch it
Rim it, choke it, watersport it
Sodomise it
Fuck it, fist it, use it, feltch it
Rim it, choke it, watersport it
Sodomise it
Fuck it, fist it, use it, feltch it
Rim it, choke it, watersport it
Sodomise it
Fuck it, fist it, use it, feltch it
Rim it, choke it, watersport it
Sodomise it
I refuse to be a vessel for your disgust
I refuse
When I hold him close in this public display that you see
And it's just sex act that you are able to perceive
Is this what you fear
Because it's just sodomy
Let disgust infiltrate your every thought of me
About what I do when I'm alone and he's with me
Is this what you fear
Because it's just sodomy
Fuck it, fist it, use it, feltch it
Rim it, choke it, watersport it
Sodomise it
Fuck it, fist it, use it, feltch it
Rim it, choke it, watersport it
Sodomise it
Fuck it, fist it, use it, feltch it
Rim it, choke it, watersport it
Sodomise it
Fuck it, fist it, use it, feltch it
Rim it, choke it, watersport it
Sodomise it
