Obligate Carnivore

Comfort
A purring sense that all is right and I am home
All is calm and I no longer feel alone
We'll romp around the climbing tree
Or play among the rocks and reeds
But in the end it’s always time to feed
Obligate carnivore
They're dripping blood
And ripping flesh
Protracted keratin slips to cut like knives
And leave me torn
Witness this
All the gore
Below bone down
To screaming death
Nature's heart is cruel and violent
And I don't want no part
But then we sleep
And all at once their innocence has been restored
And from beneath the roof of this old house
We share a blanket and weather out the storm
We are warm
And hungry
Obligate carnivore
They're dripping blood
And ripping flesh
Protracted keratin slips to cut like knives
And leave me torn
Witness this
All the gore
Below bone down
To screaming death
Nature's heart is cruel and violent
And I don't want no part
I will choose removal in everything I can
[Author's note: This line is NOT about declawing cats, and I stand strongly against that cruel practice]
Obligate carnivore
They're dripping blood
And ripping flesh
Protracted keratin slips to cut like knives
And leave me torn
Witness this
All the gore
Below bone down
To screaming death
Nature's heart is cruel and violent
And I don't want no part

Sorry

I feel like I’m coming apart at the seams
Slowly settling down through the floor
I know that this guilt is not all my fault
But it doesn’t much matter no more
I don’t have the gut to stand up for myself
Hybrid doubt and guilty psychology
So I’ll take all the blame and cover my shame
And end with this little apology
I’m sorry (I can't do anything right)
Everything is my fault
I don’t deserve anything ever
So I’ll lock up my mind in this vault
So set me on fire and piss on the ashes
I’ll never deserve your forgiveness
But this issue is mine
I just need some time
To get over my self pity bullshit
I feel like my brain is fighting itself
Like a war in a bowl full of slugs
Encase it with bone you’ve made me a clone
Don’t forget to give him his drugs
I don’t have the gut to stand up for myself
All this doubt and bullshit biology
So I’ll take all the blame and cover my shame
And end with this little apology
I’m sorry (I can't do anything right)
Everything is my fault
I don’t deserve anything ever
So I’ll lock up my mind in this vault
So set me on fire and piss on the ashes
I’ll never deserve your forgiveness
But this issue is mine
I just need some time
To get over my self pity bullshit
I’m sorry (I can't do anything right)
Everything is my fault
I don’t deserve anything ever
So I’ll sew all my wounds up with salt
So set me on fire and piss on the ashes
I’ll never deserve your forgiveness
But this issue is mine
I just need some time
To get over my self pity bullshit

Small Escape
04:15
|

Wake up late, peel the cobwebs off my face
My tired eyes aren't up to face the day
But it's time to go so put on dirty clothes
And go out to waste away
Tedium is so familiar
When everyday's the same
There's no passion in daily life
But the stress gets high
I need a small escape
My life is rusting over
This dusty day to day
Has left me cold and older
I want to break away and feel my worries fade
But the time keeps pulling away from me
And I'm starting to feel my age
Wake up yet again, desk pressed on my face
And it seems like I can't even make it through a day
Without sleeping
Everyone seems so comfortable
When my life is all but on fire
But no one really wants to hear all that
So when they ask, I'm not sad, I'm tired
There's no kindness in daily life
and the stress gets high
I need a small escape
My life is rusting over
This dusty day to day
Has left me cold and older
I want to break away and feel my worries fade
But the time keeps pulling away from me
And I'm starting to feel my age
I need a small escape
My life is rusting over
This dusty day to day
Has left me cold and older
I want to break away and feel my worries fade
And the time's still pulling away from me
But this song is my escape

Welcome to my mind my friend
It’s cold in here but please come in
I need some help
And if you ever find you’re in confusion, well I am too
Oh well
Fuck doctrinaire education and the rapid fire life
I’ll move into the forest full up with spite
Tear down the fucking borders and fuck economy
Fuck poverty, fuck danger, fuck you, fuck me
And I sing
Welcome to my mind my friend
It’s cold in here but please come in
I need some help
And if you ever find you’re in confusion, well I am too
Oh well
I read the news today and I know it’s not alright (oh boy)
Nothing seems to change
"I need my gun, I need to kill, I need to fight"
I just wanna know if it’s possible to live ethically in our society
I already have my doubts, but I haven’t figured out
So cut the bullshit please I'm tired
Welcome to my mind my friend
It’s cold in here but please come in
I need some help
And if you ever find you’re in confusion, well I am too
Oh well

You Suck (Shenanigans)
02:46

look back on some good times altogether
and I think how they all included you
I can see it in your eyes and i can feel it in my heart
that I'm not quite finished yet and the best are 'bout to start
'cause little do you know how great it's gonna be
to finally get this off my chest and leave you with a final scream
oh well now
it's over
I shoulda known you're just a loaner
I still wonder how you left
before i had the chance
so judge me
accuse me
you're just insane I'm sorry
I guess it's me and my bad luck
but as for you well
I think that you suck
I really hope you like your new found boyfriend
and i wish you all the best of luck
but there's just one thing that I think you gotta know
'cause the times coming on and he's gonna let you go
and no one I ever knew could ever stand you very long
by the end of the week he'll be singing this song with me
oh well now
it's over
I shoulda known you're just a loaner
I still wonder how you left
before i had the chance
so judge me
accuse me
you're just insane I'm sorry
I guess it's me and my bad luck
but as for you well
I think that you suck
oh i want you to know
how it feels when you go
you decided to leave
you set me free
oh well now
it's over
I shoulda known you're just a loaner
I still wonder how you left
before i had the chance
so judge me
accuse me
you're just insane I'm sorry
I guess it's me and my bad luck
but as for you well
I think that you suck

Maggots
02:15

life is but futile gluttony
'tis nothing but a cycle of death
with each new carcass the writhing pile grows
[unintelligible] the depths of frozen flesh
crush the old
feed the young
an exponential flood of putrid rebirth
we live for maggots
we die for maggots
[crawling?] through time
we accumulate the physical limit of filth
in the rubbery folds of our skin
live for maggots
die for maggots
we fat all creatures else to fat us
and we fat ourselves for maggots
when we finally grow our wings
and realize the pestilence we've created
we are cannibalized for our difference
another hope lost
yet resist
yet wait resist
live as maggots
die as maggots
we fat all creatures else to fat us
and we fat ourselves for maggots
or we are better dead as the meat that birthed us

Milagro

we been robbed for fifty years
and all we got to stop our tears
is eighty-nine cent six packs of beer
so I cut in some water then
just to grow my own damn crops again
the milagro beanfield war so it begins
here they is once again to help they said
here I am once again I'm stealing bread
here they is once again now we're all dead
here I am once again
sitting here all by myself
fuck you chota
you can go to hell
no you ain't evil but you serve it well
just want this little field of beans
a little land and some simple means
just to live out my quiet life just like i mean
here they is once again to help they said
here I am once again I'm stealing bread
here they is once again now we're all dead
here I am once again
we all been here to long to die
like Amarante's liver and old blind eyes
so we came together and made allies
all the chotas feared and began to flee
back to pendejo factory
and Zopilote a big fuck you to thee
here we are once again to help we said
here you are lifetime's up 'cause you're dead
here we are once again drunk off our heads
here we are once again
