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

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
