She is my fourteen eyes
We are bound by crimson lines
I will fight for her when I'm called
In this life
Death makes sisters of us all
I wanna burn this city to the ground
For what her did to her
Make him hear our spiralling sound
Tap tap, knock knock, bang bang
I wanna tear the whole world down
Just to rebuild her
Hand in hand we will fall
Again - death makes sisters of us all
Ancient pain in our throats
Earth and spit and blood and bones
Roots will grow under the stone
When the light runs cold
I wanna burn this city to the ground
For what her did to her
Make him hear our spiralling sound
Tap tap, knock knock, bang bang
I wanna tear the whole world down
Just to rebuild her
Hand in hand we will fall
Again - death makes sisters of us all
Tear down the skies
Love and rage intertwined
Blood moons rise
I wanna burn this city to the ground
For what her did to her
Make him hear our spiralling sound
Tap tap, knock knock, bang bang
I wanna tear the whole world down
Just to rebuild her
Hand in hand we will fall
Again - death makes sisters of us all

The Worst Thing
03:13
|
|||
You drive your friends to the edge
Then you pull them back again
You hit the pleasure, you hit the pain
You turn up the pressure
You're a needle searching for its vein
Maybe the worst thing that I can wish on you
is to remain just who you are
But when you lose your mind I let it fuck with mine
Like every word could tear us apart
Why are we just made to collide?
Maybe the worst thing that I can wish on you
is to remain just who you are
Just who you are
Building blocks of words unsaid
Stacking high above our heads
I change my shape with you
Deny myself for you
I bite my tongue with you
Sink your teeth in just 'cause you can
Maybe the worst thing that I can wish on you
is to remain just who you are
But when you lose your mind I let it fuck with mine
Like every word could tear us apart
Why are we just made to collide?
Maybe the worst thing that I can wish on you
is to remain just who you are
Just who you are

Reckless
04:08
|

Don't make a scene
Don't be too much
I'll find the remedy for my intensity
I'll take my place, I'll crack and break
Censor myself for the closeness that I crave
So we use each other as a means of escape
Cling to lovelessness like it will heal our pain
Cut loose the bonds at the first pang of shame
What would we do if we weren't afraid?
When I feel small, step into the light
Why do I see fire die behind your eyes?
So we use each other as a means of escape
Cling to lovelessness like it will heal our pain
Cut loose the bonds at the first pang of shame
What would we do if we weren't afraid?
We survive inside, inside
The desire
To be reckless and divine
Burns alive inside, inside
Free the light from your tired eyes

Embrace The Ugly
02:24
|
|||
Intoxicating toxicity
And where's the autonomy in my own body?
Animal and cerebral, cannibal
Eat the light from your soul
And the filth from your bones
We’re bodies and vessels
We’re brothels and temples
We’re mothers and sluts
We love and disgust
Dig up the grave
We’ve been erased
You’re not gonna win anyway
We are alive
When we forsake and disobey
Cause you don’t owe the world your beauty
Embrace the ugly
We are untamed
I dare you
Disobey
Softness, asymmetry
Let yourself be seen
But when can we unlearn our muscle memory?
Watch the chaos unfold
Frightened hearts be bold
Show me revolting and start the revolt
We’re bodies and vessels
We’re brothels and temples
We’re mothers and sluts
We love and disgust
Dig up the grave
We’ve been erased
You’re not gonna win anyway
We are alive
When we forsake and disobey
Cause you don’t owe the world your beauty
Embrace the ugly
We are untamed
I dare you
Disobey

Trust Your Rage
03:48
|

This is the end of what we know
One minutes violence, the silence grows
She's just walking home
This will be history, redefined
This is the mastery of our light
We ignite
Trust your rage, invade this space
Start the war
On everything you've ever known
It's time
Don't go gently into the night
Rage against the dying fight
Shatter the sky
Trust your rage, invade this space
Start the war
On everything you've ever known
It's time
Let me know when you get home

If Not Now Then When?
04:01
|
|||
Drift towards the storm
Forget our rituals
We defend captivity
Like rats in mazes think they're free
We're stuck in dirt
Its death, inertia, baby
How many times have we been warned?
And yet still we drift towards the storm
Emergency
It's death, inertia, baby
Sick, Sick
Earth is our flesh
Consciousness in crises
We defend captivity
Like rats in mazes think they're free
We're stuck in dirt
Its death, inertia, baby
Sick, Sick
If not now, then when? Then when?
If not you, then who? Then who?
We defend captivity
Like rats in mazes think they're free
We're stuck in dirt
Its death, inertia, baby
How many times have we been warned?
And yet still we drift towards the storm
Emergency
It's death, inertia, baby
Sick, Sick
Its sick

Filth
03:42
|
|||
I thought I could see through people like you
But I'll admit this time you really got me good
Line by line, you will consume yourself
Lie by lie, you build your own hell
You're the filth I had to taste
To drag myself towards a better place
You're the mistake I had to make
Remember that when you say my name
You're the filth I had to taste
To drag myself towards a better place
I'm the high you had to chase
Remember that when you say my name
Take what you want, 'til there's nothing you can use
In my loneliness, you have put down your roots
Faceless, faithless, nurture my weakness
You thrive on a secret, now I'm gonna leak it
You're the filth I had to taste
To drag myself towards a better place
You're the mistake I had to make
Remember that when you say my name
You're the filth I had to taste
To drag myself towards a better place
I'm the high you had to chase
Remember that when you say my name

Bite (Holiness In Fuck)
02:27
|
|||
I accept your accusations
I'm the destroyer of your revelations
White hot clarity, born from brutality
I didn't ask him to die for me
Bite from my flesh that lives in your sins
Dark juice runs down your chin
You're living eclipsed, you defend this myth
You're not living in sin, you're the sins bitch
There's holiness in queerness
There's holiness in pride
There's holiness in witches
There's holiness in bitches
There's holiness in loving her body
There's holiness in your gut
There's holiness unforgiveness
There's holiness in fuck
Bite from my flesh, its rebellion sings
Holiness lives on disobedient skin
You're living eclipsed
Go on, scratch that itch
You're not living in sin, you're the sins bitch
Bite from my flesh
Fuck

Soul Breaking Machines
04:08
|
|||
A tree is worth more dead than alive
So is my mind, so is your mind
A dream Is worth more dead than alive
Are we too late to ask why?
Corrupt belief and spread disease
Believe their violent dreams
Death is not release
from soulbreaking machines
We are the waves dragged into the sea
No one can hear our scream
Unconscious melodies
Of soulbreaking machines
As we lay down to close our eyes
We devise our own demise
We’ll scorch the skies and stop the tide
This will eat us alive
Corrupt belief and spread disease
Believe their violent dreams
Death is not release
from soulbreaking machines
We are the waves dragged into the sea
No one can hear our scream
Unconscious melodies
Of soulbreaking machines

Cry
We're not listening
This is what we've done
Cry for fathertongue
This is what the fire breeds
Now we run through blackened trees
Crushing lungs as they bleed
This is our legacy
We'd set fire to the sun
If it would profit anyone
Keep defending what we've done
It's our fathertongue
Cry for fathertongue
Cry
Listen in, listen in
Grieve for what we've done
Scream for what we've done
Its our fathertongue
