Book of the Worm 02:18
lyrics
Oh, prying eye in the sky Are you not a lie? No reason why One should consider worth What a coincidence of an earth We are simply here for now Nothing but holes in the ground How beautiful it could be To see beyond the mystery None of us will make history Not a one of you are a thing like me And that brings me great joy When I create this fuckin' noise I am God, I am Satan I am just patiently waitin' I am the lord, I am the devil I am a war that won't settle I am Buddha and I am Baphomet I am in your head

Enlighten Up 03:35
lyrics
Everything I wish I would be by now A shift in weight day in day out A different I I forget to forget about Who took my guts from my mouth Now he jumps rope with my words As if he thought you thought I were Smart enough to shut the fuck up When my thoughts become obscured Everything I dreamt I could do back then Pushed me to pull this line from this pen Oh, but isn't that a lie and to lie is to sin? "You're lost again! Repent! Repent!" If someone is knockin' just come on in I'm not hard to find if you're a friend Your glowing heart is but a part of art Attempts to make sense of ignorance No faceless force in the atmosphere We are the universe that we have put here If so we choose to believe it to be true Get rid of the guilt, look past the pew The only being in control is you

Wires 02:14
lyrics
What's become of I? Never not exhausted So much on my mind Have I not lost it? Keeping my eyes open Keeps me feeling sick A clock can't be broken If it could never tick Nobody is wired the same But we still make connections Who is in my mirror? Never not committed So much in my ears Can I just quit it? Sleeping all the time Slows down my heart No reason to rhyme If this is an art Nobody is wired the same But we still make connections The big picture, it has no frame And we are tiny sections Who is in my mirror? Never not committed So much in my ears Can I just quit it? What's become of I? Never not exhausted So much on my mind Have I not lost it? Have I flown or fell? Have I conquered hell? Have I condemned myself?

Needles and Pens 03:36
lyrics
Put on another's shoes Consider where to go Did you use your cues? Does it go to show That we don't know We don't know? Be a duck, be the goose Whichever one you choose Did you lose your use? Everyone's afraid of everyone Needles and pens Everyone's laid with everyone But won't be friends Does it seem the dream Is the same or just steam? Blown up the asses of Every man who ain't enough? Forget how to smile You may never be weak Don't forget to shut up But you better know when to speak Don't forget to write But only what you mean Don't forget to bite But your mouth better be clean All you do is conflict Every other line in some way What a stupid trick To say you've got nothing to say

Dissin' Ents 02:09
lyrics
Kill 'em with kind Kill 'em with calm Don't anger men With perfect lawns We are the rats At the wheel And we're told Where to steer Because your guts Are the fine line Between heroes and fear We are the flies in your mouth And we don't make a sound Because why find the lost When you can lose the found? Hold steady Light the bombs We are the lost We don't sing psalms Because your lies Are the fine lines Between first and last Right the ship Conquer thought Don't trust the men Who can't be bought Too many gods to agree Nature needs us to leave We are the worms in your brain And we will eat your eyes Because why mind the lost When you can lose your mind? The more of us there are The less precious life becomes

La La Blah Blah 02:47
lyrics
Notes of words Notes of noise Rhythmic bullshit Made with toys Accidental accents Deliberate dissonance Can't market this Ignorance is bliss Look at me! Look at me! Can you believe What you work So hard to make To pay to see? Buncha fuckin' monkeys Swingin' from a tree Sorry if I should be And if not then thanks I'm not building fans I'm not breaking banks (la la) Losing our (la la) Love for (la la) Living

Hasslefreefort 04:47
lyrics
I've drifted off to sea I've swung from every tree And never felt complete But, now, I am whole No need for control Carnal with an old, cold soul Did you think that I thought? Oh no, is this what I am proud I am not? Habits inhibit time Clean cobwebs from the sky I am all and all is mine And the same goes for you All that you've got to do Is whatever you choose Who knew it was so easy? Or, at least, that it could be? Good goddamn, what a victory It is to simply breathe With you lying next to me Everything is hassle free After all, all we are Are recycled stars You and I are one part I've drifted off to sea I've swung from every tree And never felt complete Everything we were Before the book of dirt Caused this god awful curse Before heaven and hell And the earth, we were The entire universe And when it finally erupts We are all and all is us

Blind by the Shine 04:21
lyrics
All the things that you all Do and say to seem tall Make my stomach crawl Mold my mind into a ball Wonder will it paint the wall? Will the want ever dissolve Into the lovely lake of life? We wade in wasted time Wait for some stupid rhyme To find it's way from my Heart and head to my hand To see who I am To see if I understand To see if anyone can And if you can't Then in that way We are the same When the bottled up burst It gets better every time When it hurts the worst To watch the world unwind And get too far behind On what kept you awake Weaving words to find A way to make All of this Make some sort of sense The only fact is that Whatever "it" is, it is You, I and everyone exist Isn't that enough? Shouldn't it be? Just to love Just to breathe Just to feel free Where you plant your feet I can write Say or sing Anydamnthing And that's pretty fuckin' all right I don't have to starve I don't have to pray I don't have many complaints Only fears for our kind That we've become blind By the shine of an eternal lifetime

Disco Demon 02:00
lyrics
Oh my, my dark lord How art thou adored May my soul be sworn To forever be yours May I return to earth For just one more drink One more dance One more smoke One more romance One more Six more Nine more I've been reborn! Cut the chord I am my lord Disco demon Behold, my horns! Oh, my, my dear friends The party never ends No judge, no guilt, no need Come be free with me Defy defiance! Don't fear yourself! A lie of alliance! Burn the book! Come to hell! (Burn the book and join me in hell!)
10.
As Above, So Bellow 02:56
lyrics
Light the candles Burn the herbs Spread the salt Leave the earth Charge the quartz Beneath the moon Cast the spell Watch it bloom Become what Makes you you Fuck, what else Would you do? When it all falls Out of tune Forever can never Come too soon Don't be fooled By the word of man No one can Possibly understand Why we're here When we began What gave us thought Who gave us hands Knowledge was never evil Only a lack thereof Causes war among people Instead of love
11.
Voltures 01:21
lyrics
Fevers running Air conditioners kicking on Slow moving vultures Dying to dine at dawn That one had love in it Don't let the world stop Help me, slow one I've been caught in a chase And I'm the only one keeping up There is space between the space Attempting romance with dust Don't let the world stop turning Do it Do it I dare you Stop
12.
Chapters of Ever Afters 03:21
lyrics
Call my friends Have some brews The whole time Think of you Call your friends Spread the news I am the devil I ruin you How long to wait To clean the slate? Start over, begin again If you love it, then let it end Chapters of ever afters Give us pain, give us laughter I am the devil I ruin you Return to that from which I came Laugh my ass off all the way Take nothing from the psalm I got a hoof to stomp
13.
The Book of Chaos 07:00
lyrics
Genesis A memory Some sort of Sensory Revelations Revised Alla Xul! Arise! Genesis A memory Some sort of Sensory Revelations Revised Mulla Xul! Arise! The hour has come! To open the gate! The midnight sun! The moon by day! I am before all things! I am before all gods! I am before all men! I am before all thoughts! How self righteous of me To be beyond the mystery May the curse of ENKI Be upon thee I am before all psalms I am before all wrong I am on the path To hell where I belong Nameless is the boundary Between heaven and earth Named is the mother Of the multiverse That hath seven steps That hath seven gates Descending ladders Descending pathways And therein is the throne Of an evil, fatal force From cavities of the world A demon leaps forth Alla Xul! Mulla Xul! Barra! Barra! Edin Na Zu! Nobody may Seek my resting place I am the ancient of days I am the sun at night I am the moon by day I am before me was made Alla Xul! - Evil god! Mulla Xul! - Evil devil! Barra! - Begone! Edin Na Zu! - Go to the desert!

about

"The whole album is amazing. You(and the Whoever's, where applicable) are one of the most original and genuine musicians I have ever heard. I feel like you say what you want and put no thought into what people might like. That's refreshing. You win the realest award. I hope you don't ever quit."
-Zackary Lee (DragonMouth)
