The Scapegoat

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these outdated and ridiculous laws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.

The Expanding Mind
02:23
|
|||
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

Punish Yourself
05:50
|

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

The Locust Years

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.
