Strange feeling in your little guts, isn’t there? Homesick wandering where no one else would dare In your eyes you are divine That nasty thing spied you skipping stones across the water Licking its horsey lips for it had been starved for many days Chubby little diver Splashing through the water I have nothing left to slip into for my final days Taxidermy halo, intestines Stuffed like a rat in a drainage pipe through an odd hole in the shallows What a queer way to die As your sweet blue eyes turn white And you glide into the light Thankfully they scooped you up from this otherworldly forest floor Above the dirt pits what a sad state, prance for us all They watch you eating What a sad fuck Clap for us sing for us cry for us beg for us Eat for us puke for us dance for us! Chubby little diver Splashing through the water You can frown and howl in misery it makes no difference There’s no soul for miles to carry that weight for you So just fake that star smile and suck it up Chubby little diver Splashing through the water You turn your sad eyes toward two headless men cursing your name It seems someone took the words from your mouth with a fishing hook You can frown and howl in misery, it makes no difference You turn your sad eyes toward two headless men cursing your name It seems someone took the words from your mouth with a fishing hook You were better off as a mermaid anyhow You poor thing Grey skinned swimming Here in the drowning circus everyone has a pound of flesh [Outro]

Your noose is the handle I gyrate upon Twisting constricting Aimless, wandering, shapeless thing I want to see the pink of your beautiful insides red

Suckle the nerves undeserved slice a nerve so reserved "you long for defenestration don't you? portly chandelier" you'll know well soon enough, duty is more than photographs white knuckled in the mud… Kinda like it in the arms of a blown out chest kinda wish you could live in here Kinda like it in the frills of a worn out dress kinda wish you could die in here Red gold and moldy, i hope your stance was worth a life coulda been a dancer, not a swimmer, now simmer, boy. Kinda like it in the arms of a blown out chest kinda wish you could live in here Kinda like it in the frills of a worn out dress kinda wish you could die in here Kinda like it in the arms of a sewn up dress suckle the nerves undeserved so reserved.

Do you have a plan to end it all? Desecrate my own body Die One tear shed as you bleed from the wrist You lie bloodless, you are worthless

O, you bastard survived the culling Unable to motion, muscle rattle, skin across bone All blackened, optimism’s a tumor Beckoning sleep toward Rupturing cyst of the heart Curse you Evacuate the reservoir Dry the wound Embracing nothing Beg no more Marrow dissected from the bone The seed’s bearer bore a curse Cut the bosom to stomp out nourishment Curse you Evacuate the reservoir Dry the wound Embracing nothing Beg no more Stare upon this blossoming flower The smell of iron in the lungs Cry Scream Beg I curse thee I curse thee With this last breath through rotting, dying teeth Spit and blood, a curse for the victim, the father, and the liar This curse made flesh Rain down suffering My sire, we’ll ascend in red Drink this bowl of bad fortune Spite and spit upon This curse becoming yours Trading agony Cry and fill this bowl with tears Begging for release Take the edge There’s always an exit there Shoving the face to the stone The seeds layers ripped away To Nurture the barbs with the tongue Learn to satisfy the agony Marrow dissected from the bone The seeds bearer bore a curse Marrow dissected from the bone The seeds bearer bore a curse Marrow dissected from the bone The seeds bearer bore a curse To cut the bossom and stomp out nourishment

This house was built from the ceiling to the floor torn apart from the inside out Keep it in faster than ever before... He got the god, the sin, the god the light, pooled it in collapses, rewrites as the atom smashes await the transfiguration, encircling psychosis hideaway until the disconnect and reconnecting of our eternal auras see them dim, the light pulled in, becoming one diffusing the catalyst of this cyclical dream, fusing with the gleam
7.
Like a bird, their wings flap and they are fitted, for every angel must ascend Like a bird Like a bird ensnared in the mouth of god Light swallowed whole by the horizon
