lyrics

Tongues planted in the cheeks of toothy Totenkopf grins,
sowed parallel to canines whistling to birth a nation.
It's one "solution", I guess.
Absolution's the only reward you'll confess,
paid as lent to your guardian nothing;
written checks just to say you're well-spent.
Outlined in chalk, your numbers & ratios,
only zeros and ones in the end.

I wanna soil your blood.
To uncrete altars, teeth nash on.
What joy in torches snuffed?
Heads figured fallen preach that on.
I'd wanna soil your blood,
But what's been shed won't crease that arm.
If you say there's nothing lost,
why feign departial, crypt that tongue?

Discharging like a seed who's yielded its own famine.
Thin veils of ivory drape loose from olive branches.
A sexless matrimony of impact & intent
Arm's length just out of reach,
bluffing on folded hands.
When poker faces recoil,
who's playing the next hand?

It's a roundtable set to go-merry, vanilla abstracts frame the scene.
A seasonless feast for the tasteless, pearly whites rot from too many sweets.

I wanna soil your blood.
To uncrete altars, teeth nash on.
What joy in torches snuffed?
Heads figured fallen preach that on.
I'd wanna soil your blood,
But what's been shed won't crease that arm.
If you say there's nothing lost,
why feign departial, crypt that tongue?

Oh, the casualties of casualty!!! Oh, the casualties of casualty!!!
Oh, the casualty of casualties for some cheap crypto-valhalla for hellhounds!!?

Heresy to your fabricated saviors,
tryna sell me you know what's divine.
Broken down to pills like you've swallowed,
just 14 words at a time.
Must secure to your dimly-lit smokescreens
where the downtrodden play as untread.
Deny the tide, it doesn't matter.
Still be left in its wake come the time you've seen the skin shed.
