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

Pestilent Star

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

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?"

Father (Part I)
02:48

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

Father (Part II)
05:01
|
|||
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?
