Spiderette 02:20

Shed the mirror, shed the light, Standing on the candle white Hands stuck in the crystal ball Face to face against the wall Spider webs to catch my fall Severed limbs I use to crawl Shed the mirror, shed the light Hold me by the candle white Hands stuck in the crystal ball Face to face against the wall Spider webs to catch my fall Severed limbs I use to crawl Innocently, violently, Innocently, violently, Innocently, violently touching me While I was sleeping, Innocently violently touching me While I’m asleep.

Walking Sleep 02:07
lyrics

You rode a horse through the second wave You threw bodies in the human waste I can’t find a heart to beat Like nails to feet, I walk alone- Walking back again, Back to my machine Back to my machine, Back to back to back. Germs, germs, they can be mean And they can be green But they’re on your team, so So don’t you scream, scream in your Sleep, walking, walking sleep, Sleepwalking, walking sleep You made monsters out of naked space You killed a girl just to see her face I can’t find a pulse that beats Like a sheet, she sleeps alone Sleepwalking, walking back again Sleepwalking, walking back to my machine Germs, germs, they can be mean And they can be green But they’re on your team, so So don’t you scream, scream in your Sleep, walking, walking sleep, Sleepwalking, walking sleep Sleepwalking, walking sleep, I dream so I can talk to you again I do it every night I need you back They shot you in the chest You’ll burn them soon.

It's A Horrible Day 03:20

Look at this day It’s a horrible day, Look at this day It’s a horrible day, Look at this day, It’s a horrible day Look at this day It’s a horrible day I was going my way But I couldn’t look away And we need more water For this circle jerk Talking to me like I care Cat spray in my hair, I might regret this But I have to say I’m trying to break the ice Tired to be so fucking nice Daddy never told me why Daddy never told me why! Why is it that every time I walk in my body becomes a hole? Why are there no women here and why do your eyes look like claws? And why is it so hard to sing a long to this song? My heart’s a package being thrown around in this body. If I can’t give a name to it, I can’t stay with you. Look at this day It’s a horrible day Look at this day It’s a horrible day Look at this day It’s a horrible day I was going my way But I couldn’t look away You’re my slave I’m gonna cum on your face And it feels like danger When you act this strange Walking fire for a dare Cat spray in your hair I’m trying to roll the dice Landing snake eyes every time I might regret this But I have to say I’m not okay at all! Daddy never told me why Daddy never told me why! You look perfect with yr wedding bands and tailored suits talking about gay rights. It must be nice sitting on top of this pyramid, telling me my lips are too red and my body’s too small, defining my worth by putting measuring tape around my bicep. You ask to take me home without inviting all of me. How much do I have to leave behind to ride the rainbow?

Are Friends Electric?!?!?!?!?!? 04:20
lyrics

Gary Numan original lyrics: It’s cold outside And the paint’s peeling off of my walls There’s a man outside In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette Now the light fades out And I’m wondering what I’m doing in a room like this There’s a knock on the door And just for a second I thought I remembered you So now I’m alone Now I can think for myself About little deals And issues And things that I just don’t understand Like a white lie that night Or a slight touch at times I don’t think it meant anything to you So I open the door It’s the `friend’ that I’d left in the hallway Please sit down A candle lit a shadow on a wall near the bed You know I hate to ask But, are `friends’ electric? Mine’s broke down And now I’ve no one to love So I find out your reason For the phone calls and smiles And it hurts And I’m lonely And I should never have tried And I missed you tonight So it’s time to leave You see this means everything to me

A Mother 02:32
lyrics

Lipstick red upon the wall Granny I know that’s not all Did you lose yr teeth again Or was it just your mind? Was it just your teeth? We can chatter all we want About the place you used to haunt We’ll go back with out darkest hands And write our names on that old fence You said you could never be A mother to someone like me You said I could never be The daughter I used to be And all the cherries we used to eat Met their fate on George Washington’s tree And all the cookies we used to bake Burned like mother at the stake You said you could never be A mother to someone like me You said you could never be A mother, a mother! Lipstick red upon the wall Granny I know that’s not all Let’s take a walk down memory lane Put on yr coat I’ll get yr cane We can chatter all we want About the place you used to haunt We’ll pretend that we’re still there And I’ll comb the webs out of your hair Chorus Repeats

Dressed as the Plague on Halloween, On Halloween, a right winged dream To lock my lips with your red state To take you out on a bloody date!!! You said I shouldn’t I said you will Your penis wouldn’t I go for the kill Kill! Kill! I strip off your muscle Tee To see what you mean to me You say ‘baby you look pretty’ I say ‘well do you really see me?’ You say ‘wait you’re not a chick!’ I said I am, but I have a dick!! I will lie right next to you And watch yr nightmares coming true True, true, true! You censor me I’m sensing you You’re kissing me I’m killing you You said I shouldn’t I said you will Your penis wouldn’t I go for the kill ‘But all homosexuals are not passive, some resort to violence. One never knows what a homosexual is about. He may appear normal, and it may be too late to discover he is mentally ill' You say ‘please put down the axe’ I like that you politely asked Except I do this for my sisters And all the bruises from their misters Left on roads like dead raccoons Naked to the mother moons I will lie right next to them In a grave of bloody gems. You censor me I’m sensing you You’re kissing me I’m killing you (x2)

Trigger Warning 03:33

Sep: Wouldn't you say it's a fucked up world Being told yr a boy when you're a girl? Taking what you need for ejaculation Choking it down for the validation Crystal: I'm not really sure what yr trying to say Did you make it up just to feel okay? Sep: I don't really mean to cut you off But it's hard enough just trying to talk I was there in the alley on my knees Crystal: What was his name again? Sep: Ronny, He said he 'd kill me if I told a soul Drown with the secret until I'm old Crystal: Is that why you cry every time you fuck? everytime yr weak everytime yr stuck? Sep: I bleed like a queer with a jigsaw heart Living as a mess and calling it art And I wish I could act like I didn’t look back I wish I could act like I didn’t look back I wish I could act like I didn’t look back But the thoughts are heavy and I start to crack (x3) Is that why you cry every time you fuck? Every time yr weak, every time yr stuck? I wish I could act like I didn’t look back But the thoughts are heavy and I start to crack Crystal: So when did you start to block it out? Have you told yr mom what yr all about? Sep: I told her how he locked his room With me inside and his cock my doom Crystal: She didn't believe a word you said I bet Left you with a kiss as you crawled into bed Sep: Can't really blame him- Crystal: Please stop, You have every right to hate his guts Sep: I hurt with anger and I can't trust Hang up my will and join the dust I swell with pain when I smell his breath Begging for answers before my death Crystal: How can you bare all this guilt and shame If I were you I'd change my name Sep: As a broken fag I swear I'm strong Sometimes I slip and it all goes wrong Living in panic while feeling the breeze Holding my heart as my blood runs free I can't really feel what I can’t touch It hurts to love when I can't say much Crystal: I can tell now that you're not this size You're a lot smaller than your disguise I wish I could act like I didn’t look back I wish I could act like I didn’t look back I wish I could act like I didn’t look back But the thoughts are heavy and I start to crack (x3) Back!

Rejects 02:53

A toast to no future And a world without saviors, You’re not going anywhere While we remain ill, This is the final level, Take it as you will. Our dreams are eager to swallow Our bodies down their pipes, So you offered us a living In exchange for our lives. We knew it was ransom And we said no to it. He said no and she said no And they said no to it. He said no and she said no And they said no to it. They’ll leave me here for dead With yr voice inside my head I can’t fucking take it I can’t fucking breathe I’m going to fucking kill myself I’m so fucking scared There’s nothing I can be You know this about me! Escape seemed impossible When we turned to face the boss He saw that we were weakened And he offered us his claws. We said no, we said no! We said no, we said no! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! Nooooooooooo!!!!!!!! How are we the rejects When we rejected it? How are we the rejects When we rejected it? How are we the rejects When we rejected it?

Grave Robber 05:14
lyrics
buy track
Raising the door to her coffin And you ask: “do you recognize her?” “Wed to my father, the happiest of brides, grave robber.” Holding her body rotting She’ll dance with me, Her carcass crawling in my arms And he gives me her rings With rust and dust, Coating the stones, Please give her away. Counting sheep, she sleeps again (Day to day, we are filth) She must have known he was the weasel (Gray is gray, we are still) He wanted her blood, her virgin blood He was her master, She was all alone, He broke inside her pubic bone Blood on the flowers A parade has come We dance, we wine We feast again! Light at the windows My husband has returned You will come to love yr father Must I love you? Yes, child Can I look through? Just wait Do you love her? No, child Is this the end? Just wait Has she left me? Yes, child Where are my earrings? They’re gone Must I love you? Yes, child Then I’m yours (x2) Graverobber, I want the life of a loved one In my arms, and he pulls the rings like teeth And he gives them to me, it’s a gift for free, Looking underground for my father’s will Dreading the haunt of a necrophilic white eye To lie inside a tomb of doom The feeling is meaningless We change rooms as the haunting subsides, the window asking for its veil to be lifted, for the light to claim us in eternal love. The moment growing ominous as circus filth mate with shadows behind corpses, lifting coffin doors to whisper curses in between our vows. I look to the mirror and watch my reflection decorating father’s trident with mother’s favorite rings, begging her to look at me. All she sees is another body. Must I love you? Yes, child Can I look through? Just wait Do you love her? No, child Is this the end? Just wait Has she left me? Yes, child Where are my earrings? They’re gone Must I love you? Yes, child Then I’m yours Blood on the flowers A parade has come We dance, we wine We feast again! Light at the windows My husband has returned You will come to love yr father. Your father, you will come To love your father Your father, you will Come to love your father.
