I have been watching you just like an angel writing your name in my unholy book I have been trying to warn you of danger writing you songs and giving you looks Still, you're slipping away and you'll never be saved yes, you all must resign to your fate Yeah, you're slipping away and you can't even pray because you've murdered your gods with your hate Oh, I open my window and spread out my arms to the world may the wind come like nails to crucify me to the shadows of my bedroom where the voices are torturing me I've seen this world in peculiar state I've been the victim of rumors and hate But I guess I've been chosen to carry this cross around In this ridiculous smallest of towns. But I will not sell out I will not give in and the liars I will not defend No, I will not sell out I will not give in for it's the liars who are always accusing the righteous of sin And they're raising up their crosses and they're looking at me, oh please And they're picking up stones they accuse me of sin but I say go ahead and throw it for you're casting your stones at the wind You say I've taken your daughters away but I say that you gave them no reason to stay You say that I've taken your sons far away but they left on their own from denial and hypocrisy Still, you criticize me and you fear what you see but you can't even see what you fear That the fear's within you and you're so scared of the truth that you project all your ills upon me Oh, just open up your eyes and behold the immaculate lie Our forefathers murdered to possess this great land they shed blood for their greed and now their children do not understand Who were they anyway to create a law that should govern a world that their dying eyes never even saw Yeah, who were they anyway that we should cease to evolve to pay heed and to follow these outdated and ridiculous laws I have been watching you just like an angel writing your name in my unholy book I have been trying to warn you of danger writing you songs and giving you looks .... Oh well.

I stood alone behind a telescope, I watched the universe spin all about me and life is very scary to me. I sat alone behind a gramophone, I sat and listened as god surrendered and god is technology based. I woke up naked in this room I felt the colors of the shadow breathers in my expanding mind. I sat down frightened with my horoscope I realized that it goes on without me and I was far too frightened to breathe. I stood up naked by a jar of eyes I peered inside and saw my pale reflection and I am very scary to me I woke up bleeding in this room I felt the colors of the shadow breathers in my expanding mind. my expanding mind. my expanding mind. my expanding mind.

Brian McKinney, Brian McKinney, I can see you with all sincerity I don't wish to deceive you but I really find you hideous & frightening & the site of you makes darkness so inviting I have seen you in despair, but I just don't fucking care... Brian McKinney, I hate you. Brian McKinney, Brian McKinney I despise you You are ignorance confined in mortal tissue Your anomalies too various to mention You are one of Gaia's ugliest inventions I don't mean to be so cruel, but there's nothing else to do, Brian McKinney, I hate you I see one thousand demons dancing in your eyes I'd like to tell you everything about you that I despise I'd like to hold you down decapitate & sodomize you Rip off your flesh & leave the rest a mass of twitching sinews I'd like to gouge out your eyes & put them in this jar cut off your limbs & leave them lying in the reservoir I wish there really were a god so he could damn your soul to hell I wish that I had magic powers so I could cast that very spell Brian McKinney, Brian McKinney, you disturb me You're an enigma to my psyche, don't come near me Because I really am afraid that I might hurt you Please understand I'm only trying to alert you I don't mean to be insane, but every time I hear your name, Oh I hate you, I could kill you, Brian McKinney

You say you cannot believe in anything so minuscule and I say I cannot subscribe to anything like Jesus Christ But I admit that secrets may be hidden beneath the tapestry But you insist it's simple in your world of saints and enemies Isn't it great everyone's god everyone hates everyone's open ended fate everyone loves everyone fears and everyone's scared Golden cities just exist inside our heads but we persist until all our dreams are manifest to materials and then they rust Then we hang like empty pockets as godless space just fills each socket and eyes they swell with tears and years have gone and we're alone.. alone.. alone. Isn't it great everyone's god everyone hates everyone's open ended fate everyone loves everyone lies and everyone's cries She asked me if there was anyone that I would like to be and I responded, "Honestly, in 30 years I'd like to still be me" But I probably won't, because we lose a little every day until every things gone until we all waste away... away... away. Now isn't it great god is upstairs. I know that he's late but he's coming down I swear so you better be good you better be quiet if you want him to save you God's just a leash in society's fist so they can lead you around 'til you no longer exist They'll lock you in the cages of the factories They'll lock you in the cages of the working week and they throw you a check and they send you back home where you sit with your family or you just sit alone and you need more distraction than the color TV so you pick up your coat and you grab for your keys You need a release so you go to the bar you sit and you drink 'til you don't know who you are Then you wake up with guilt and you wake up with pain and then it all starts over again There's a man where you work who recognizes your look he says "Hey put down the bottle and pick up the book 'cause you know there's a place that's much better than this and believe me my brother it really exists." You say "if it's true, well then show me the way" He says, "first, well there's certain steps you must take" Then it all comes to you as you look in his eyes that familiar glaze of some chemical high. Still you go to his church because you're looking for love but it's just another crutch yeah, it's just another drug You've gone from some chemical experimentation to some new form of mental masturbation and you're not a product of divine creation. You're just an accident in the palm of this nation Because it's all in your mind, it's not good for your health to make believe in a god and then punish yourself. Yeah it's all in your mind, it's not good for your health to make believe in a god and then punish yourself.

On and on, she sings a melody that lasts forever All alone, I can't believe I found the hidden treasure And while the world was silent sleeping She'd rest her head upon my shoulder And I promised her tomorrow I'll be here, I'll be here, I'll be... On and on, she said the she had faith in something bigger All along, she tries to lead me through a hidden forest Though the darkness did surround us We were on the path to freedom So we locked our hands together and carried on carried on, carried... On and on, and in the morning time I watch her stirring All alone, I swear that I could watch her sleep forever With the sunlight on her pillow, giving her a golden halo. She looks just like a holy angel, deep in prayer, deep in prayer...on and on

I want to be there with you in the afflicted room I want to lie there with you with all our colors on I want to float into you I put my scissors on and walk towards your bedroom you smile through flesh that's torn I am with you I've got my raincoat on Can you see me? I misplaced my cutlery Doctors office is right up the cemetery Don't mind Rolo he's just my electric friend I want to lie down with you 'till we disintegrate I want to kiss your eyeball I want to meditate I am with you I've got my lab coat on Can you see me? I've misplaced my cutlery Doctors office is right up the cemetery Don't mind Rolo he's just my electric friend I am with you I've got my goggles on Where's my suitcase I misplaced my telescope Doctors coming He's got his virus on Someone's laughing It's just my electric friend

Two big ass boxes of bbq beef baloney Two big ass boxes of bbq beef baloney Two fat lip fishes just yanking on a string One psychedelic monkey with a spy decoder ring and a fork tongue preacher with a mongoloid boy counting money. Two big ass boxes of bbq beef baloney One greasy fist midget trying to sodomize a Shetland pony One pork pie eating pedophiliac priest One blue lipped pussy all infested with yeast And the freshly defecated upper torso of a Mr. Garrifola Two big ass boxes of bbq beef baloney Two Siamese twins sitting sucking on a strand of macaroni Two hare lipped diuretic lesbian nuns Four fat Pentecostals with their hair up in a bun And a pitch tent revival where they're swinging to the sound of baby Jesus Well have you seen those fuckers all walking to class with their big ass britches & their baseball caps and a "Jesus Saves" sticker on the old book sack Hey! Won't somebody tell the choir When Jesus Christ gets back he will be pissing fire until they're Two big ass boxes of bbq beef baloney Bible toting, chicken choking crack smoking church pew phonies Just raising up their hands & crying out to their god though they're blind they swear they saw him give a wink & a nod and the whole tent's rocking as the preacher's cramming Jesus in his pocket

This is my body (Seeking god in intimate places) I am the serpent with wings of fire I will surround you (Changing blood with intimate grace) I lie in waiting, in scarlet hue You are the ghost child (Lotus bride of Syrian race) lying in shadow, in torment lace Maiden of moonlight (Mystic soul in spiritual bliss) I am your servant. I cum inside. Sacred soul arise peering through your servant eyes All across the great dominion the locust years they are upon us I am the ocean (Eyes entranced, Prometheus gaze) I move upon you, in shy lit ways Child of the forest (Close your eyes in intimate silence) I will protect you and all your ways Give me your body (Seeking god in intimate places) I will possess you in secret rooms Sacred soul arise peering through your servant eyes All across the great dominion the locust years they are upon us. We are the satyrs (We run through fields in spiritual bliss) We live forever, the silenced race Voice from the mountains (Calls your name with wenchian grace) Awaken the mother, the golden race This is my body (Seeking god in intimate places) I am forbidden... the enemy Sacred soul arise peering through your servant eyes All across the great dominion the locust years they are upon us. Seeking god in intimate places drinking blood with intimate grace Locus bride of Syrian race mystic soul and spiritual gaze Worshiping god is the ultimate form of worshiping self and worshiping ego God is just the projection of thought Wherever we go... "He" goes God is just the projection of minds Created by elitists just to keep us in line God is just the projection of man Wherever he goes... "We" go. Worshiping god is the ultimate form of worshiping self and worshiping ego God is just the projection of thought Wherever we go... "He" goes God is just the projection of minds Created by elitists just to keep us in line God is just the projection of man Wherever he goes... "We" go.
