Mother 03:55
Ephemeral tree From the roots of my womb, baby My favorite son My prodigal symptom The story goes on even if you try to stop us So you're dressed to kill All your guns, and bullets, and bullshit I've heard your sweet ruse before You may be a man, but you're still just a boy to me Where'd you go my infant love? Where'd you go my first born, baby darling? You've been chasing frozen time Admit your hollow sorrow, baby darling How I think of your life I think about where you've been Are you really a man? Or a shadow in a leathered skin You think you'll save us You think you're coming to us? I think I got something shiny for you My body, my milk I could set this bar on fire I could set myself on fire, if it does it for you The story goes on even if you try to stop us What a hell of a legacy Anything that can numb the pain, is it me? My only god is you, my love You may be a man, but you're still just a boy to me Where'd you go my infant love? Where'd you go my first born, baby darling? You've been chasing frozen time Admit your hollow sorrow, baby darling How I think of your life I think about where you've been Are you really a man? Or a shadow in a leathered skin You think you'll save us You think you're coming to us? I think I got something shiny for you And I can't even help but laugh My shotgun will cut you in half - The shotgun I have in my.... WAIT...!!?? So it's true what they say about you? You're really that fast, my boy? You're a man... and now I can't... Feel my face... my face... can't feel anything

I am the astral son I am the call to arms I am the blanket of death between the moon and the stars I'm a werewolf, baby The vampire man I am the thing you started and the floor that you will land I am the missing teeth I am the whip machine I am the missing corpse and every vacant in between I'm a hail of bullets I'm a perfect storm Without you and within me, never dead and never born I am your scarlet fever I ain't no common flu I'm the pandemic, baby, I will do what devils do If it's cold and blue That's what makes it true I am the god without a god, best be damn sure I will see it through

Sister 03:49
This is all my love As if you'd ever love me As a sister, my love Don't think you'd ever love me All I wanted is you A thousand miles apart Mom and Dad have built and sold me You're a piece of shit Only now you try to save me All I want is All I needed is you My Brother Shake it down to the bottom of the glass Whiskey stale stinking rotten And you acting like a man Yeah you fucked up fucking around Then you fucking left us I've been pulling all the tricks Can't forgive you how you left me All I needed is you Mommy's gone to hell, she's sucking on her brains Caught a bullet in her mouth, she deserved it anyway I may be a prostitute, but guess what? I'm not a slave It's your story baby brother... gonna kill us either way All I need is Can't you forgive the truth Put the barrel into my lips Let me kiss it Do you like it? My baby boy, count down Three, two, one

March seventeenth Eighteen infinity Marred by the scene Of family obscenity Bet yourself that you can’t do right By everything that you hold dear tight Are you pulling on an endless string If you think that you are then you are and you are Does it make you want to run? Does it make you scared to leave? Who’s hand holds you hard? Who’s god cares the most? Bought a ticket to a place going East No one knows my name no one knows my face St. Patrick in a world full of snakes Catch your gold on an Arizona train Does it hurt you all the way? Mother, sister in the wake Who’s hand holds you hard? Who’s god cares the most? Don’t you ever, don’t you ever Don’t you ever mess around Don’t you ever, don’t you ever Don’t you ever mess with me Now it’s tethered, now it’s tethered Now forever fuck with me Does it make you want to run? Does it make you scared to leave? Who’s hand holds you hard? Who’s god cares the most? "Where'd you go my infant love? Where'd you go my first born, baby darling?"

It’s been a long long time Since I saw you standing here I’ve been waiting, I’ve been longing all these years I heard you saw your sister die I heard your mother met your gun You might be angry But boy you better run If you don’t Then your late And the lie Doesn’t take Yeah your blood Might be mine But your life Can’t define Is it me? Is it true? Does the pain prove the proof? Vampirc County line Eighteen sixty fuckin' five I heard the North wins I heard the South’s still trying to fight In my eyes you are a god My proudest single, only thought But your brother’s crazy I don’t think you stand a chance If he wins I hope he does I hope you love That you shove In our face Family man Now you stand Are you right? Does it matter? Is it death your soul delights? Come and find me

Brother 04:07
Here is your chance Get lost, forget what you know It's too bad, it's too late Our bond, splintered in shards My brother's love, our hateful love It's not big enough for the two of us And I can feel it all through blood The denial of your love Because of you, we're staring into endless doom I've been waiting here for you Yeah, I've been waiting here for you to show Big Brother and his conquest in the house of cards Yeah, I'll eat your pain Destroy that pretty face My brother's love, some bullshit love It was never ever goddamn good enough If all the stars above weren't far enough They'd never ever be goddamn far enough Sit back, enjoy the show I can feel it all through blood The denial of your love Because of you, we're staring into endless doom I've been waiting here for you Pastiche debris, demure I ain't go no cure Too long, too gone Don't got the space to fight with fucking God

I was scared the first day I met you Two souls holding their breath You breathed then screamed and how dare you? We both fell in love with an angel Fate is all some bullshit Time is vengeance in hell Space arranged and unfolded and we knew Death was special and real My body and coffin are things you can feel Cosmic faults in astral time The miracle of Death's design I only want what's left of you To tell me that you love me too And how could you? How dare you? I sold my soul to protect us You just don't understand California to Texas, Nevada, Vampirc, and back again Those days still give me nightmares Hunting angels for blood Your mother, your sister, your brother, and you Always asking for more than the truth When I never asked anything from all you Cosmic faults in astral time The miracle of Death's design I only want what's left of you To tell me that you love me too And how could you? How dare you?

There's blood in your hair There's blood everywhere You don't seem to mind at all, do ya? There's blood in your ears You're shrieking in fear You don't seem to mind at all... What's it to ya?
