To Love is to Destroy
03:13
|

Verse 1:
Out of devastation,
Comes new life
Our evolutionary joke
When twisted hearts combine as one
Some kind of arcane antidote
Trapped flawed rhythm
Mortal and real
Like spinning fates, orbiting minds
Cannot conceal
That lust will make us blind
Chorus:
To love is to destroy
It's devolution
Written in our blood
No redemption
Verse 2:
It’s our shared psychosis
Cosmic conspiracy
Sentiment makes you weak
Restrained obedient
Planetary fiction
Romance anomaly
Survival of the coldest
A reflex of uncertainty

Wormwood

|

Verse 1:
You’re my pride and misery
In this cold, cold world
My soul’s got concussion
‘Cause I can’t be your girl
I’m your miscalculation
Running blind into you.
I’d give anything to
Feel like you do
Chorus:
One drop of you
I’m overcome
Poison the well
Corrupting me
This bitterness
Poison the well
It’s killing me that
You’re my complete
Original sin
You’re my wormwood
My bitter pill
Verse 2:
It’s sycophantic love
Straight to my ego
Pretending I’m not desperate
Bleeding out real slow
I’ll be your close encounter
Just name your price
The monster on your shoulder
Feed me your light

Purity
03:34
|
|||
Verse 1:
Wake up in bleary dark
Another day another fight
Told to work hard and to play hard
I’ve reached the end of the line
In this procession of the self
We’re meant to want and have it all
This systematic house of wealth
Where no one breaks me when I fall
Breakdown:
Addicted to the praise
Addicted to the cash
Addicted to the dream
It’s so hyperreal
Verse 2:
Try to stay desired and young
At our narcissistic church
Worshipping ignorant and dumb
Our values so perverse
Promised everlasting life
Soon we’ll all cease to exist
Our calculated steep decline
Our sense of self adrift
Chorus:
I’ll be anything you need
Your source of purity
Your quick escape from reality
I’ll be anything you need
Numb yourself from me
Your quick escape from reality
Verse 3:
Complicit in silent dusk
Binary cycle of light and shadow
In this structure we trust
Rewards the daily fucking grind
We play the hand we’re dealt
Keep our precious dreams so small
This age of lies where a constant sense of
Contempt becomes the norm

Deathless
05:17
|
|||
Verse 1:
Remedy give it to me
Poison get me out of purgatory
Find release 'cause
It’s my cure
Breathless in this hell together
Perpetual rapture
Turn it up and just let go
Verse 2:
Godless ceremony
Crystal clarity
Ritual lift us up and
Kill our fears
Saint or sinner
We’ll be chasing absolution
Steal our souls 'cause
We are so deathless
Chorus:
So impervious
Invincible
Can’t fuck with us
We are so deathless
Breakdown:
You breathe
You choke
You’ll meet the bone
You bleed
You hope
This is no placebo
You fall to earth
For your resurrection
You turn rebirth
We are so deathless
