Divine Divinity

I’m gonna find myself and atheist girl
Someone to share with me the chaos of this sick, sad world
Someone to share my fear and tension 'bout the current affairs
She can deconstruct the logic, she can answer my prayers
With a nihilist stare, let the pious beware
Awkward Dawkins and we talking bout the work of Voltaire
We’re just connecting as strangers
Two lonely molecules
Staring at each other in a viscous solution
Who knows it?
And who will here proclaim it?
Whence was it produced?
And whence was its creation?
The gods came afterwards with the creation of the universe,
Who then knows whence it has arisen?
I’m gonna find a fundamentalist girl
Someone to share with me the chaos of this beautiful world
We’ll sing and pray and bless and preach until we red in the face
And keep our clothes on 'till we married in the Lord’s love and grace
Devout, devoted, divine, divinity
An ardent adherent to the Book and the Trinity
Just connecting as strangers
Two empty vessels
Thrashing on the altar as we speaking in tongues
I’m gonna find myself and agnostic
Someone who’s balanced and who hasn’t kept they mind hostage
She don’t even have to know for certain what’s the meaning of it all

Violence/Vitamins
03:03
|

Black ain't black and white ain't white
It’s in your head little bird, you better take flight
Right ain't right, tonight ain't the night
I can light the fire with only the skin and bone,
Survival of the fittest, sooner or later you’re alone
My violence is vitamins, it’s a supplement, get grown
Medical, chemical, unsettling hormones
Carry my shell to the sea
Dress my abrasions and wash all my linen clean
Bathe me in ointment and poison
I’m your deep sea lover
The light of the luminescent womb, the moon

Torrents

In my eyes
The biggest nothing in history
In my mind,
A Pyrrhic victory
I got so tired of sleeping late
And of drinking from the fall
Of needs of screaming for the taste of her
Of dreaming dreams of war
Of all these simple sour nothings
That we scream the night’s air
You grabbed my wrist and pulled me into you
I seemed to crawl everywhere
Everywhere
Of all these simple sour nothings
We speak to the night’s air
Of all these simple sour nothings
I got so tired of sleeping late
And of drinking from the fall
Of needs of screaming for the taste of her
Of dreaming dreams of war
I felt my wings were dull and heavy
And I was standing at the brink
I couldn’t wage the war of self-control
Drink
Pull me down,
Bury me in your veins
I’m soaking in your acid
Dissolve in your embrace

The Real Motherfucker
03:52
|

Wouldn’t have picked you up on the wayside, honey
Give you a rap on the knuckle
And then I send you home to yo momma
Babe, this is called karma
He’s a man on a mission
Not hindered by inhibition
He’s into nuclear fission
He’s into wars of attrition
He’s like a fish out of water
He’s probably fucking your daughter
He’s about them all fun and games
And about maintaining the rage
They call him bootstrap bourbon
He’s wearing boots and a turban
He lives with unbridled fervour
Subversive literature learner
He’ll sit you down and give you a lesson
On tectonic pressure and the recession
And Lord, please bless him for his heinous transgressions
I want to storm your beaches
I want to climb your tower
I want to spill your insides
I want to make you cower
I wanna roll, I wanna roll
With the real mothafucker
And I and I and I
“What a blast, that’s the last”,
That’s the hurt that she said,
“I’ll peel your bones and drive you mad”

I’m pathetic, I’m heretic pathetic
I’m nauseous, I’m nauseous and gorgeous
Malicious, I’m malicious delicious
Nutritious, capricious and I’ll give you it all
I am not your saviour
And I am definitely not your queen
I can’t tell if I am man or beast
But I’m guessing that it’s somewhere in between
I’ll find my purpose in the circus
Gamble for wisdom with clowns
Pierce my abdomen with daggers
‘Scape the box when I drown
And you can sell me fucking out man
You can just give me the sign
Sell my soul for next to nothing
‘Till your shame becomes mine
You coulda made it as a company man
We coulda had so much money
We could have had it all

Nervosa
03:31

Spoil your hollow cheek goodbyes
Nervosa deadweight eyes
Pry your senses, an incredible high
I feel the time has come for us
Connect yourself with me
I’ll fit, I’ll tessellate, I’ll procreate
I wanna join the primal throng,
I’m gonna sing you a carnal song
Don’t deny what your body exclaims
Or use language just to give it names
Don’t deny what your heart expects
Don’t deny what your want desires
We’re all just here for the blink of an eye
With our species we will all expire
Load your body ripe and foul
Your greased and filthy jowls
Coat your senses, it’s an edible high
I know the time has come for us
Our god is waiting on the television
He’s in a teen drama locker room pinned against the wall
He’s spruiking me a diet on an infomercial
He’s in a chatroom waiting for your call
Open the door, see who you are
Reflected in lighting as you
Clawing and biting, infighting
We are just here for the blink of an eye
With our species we will all expire

I Became You
04:08
|
|||
Vacantly you’re writing a draft
Mentally penning our epitaph
Talking but you’re probably deaf
Shit’s in the past, sorry I asked
I love you but our lives are adjacent
Talk about unfortunate placement
Causing us irreparable damage
Can’t even manage
Sorry to scavenge
Scratches, bruises dimly lit
Crumpled body falls to bits
Welfare slum dog sweeps the dust
Rusted iron, ironed rust
Grimy streets without renown
Kinsmen, fathers overthrown
Bracken, ivy, noxious weed
Envy, vice, distortion, greed
I became you
Get away
There’s nothing as we heave and sigh
Crackling a porous spine
Thrusting out a paradigm, a second in time
Your body and mine
Shards of crystal violin
Flesh and oil and sweating gin
Covering a criminal grin
You let me in, I let you win
Scratches, bruises dimly lit
Crumpled body falls to bits
Welfare slumdog sweeps the dust
Rusted iron, ironed rust
I became you
Get away
