It’ll Do
 
I wrote a song just for you, it sounds quite a bit like this one
This ain’t the one, but it’ll do blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda
I wrote a hook for you all, it’s comin up in 2 more measures
It ain’t that great, but I don’t care, I’ve still got something to say
 
(Chorus)
Dance
Get your feet off the floor, whoa
Dance
Shove that fucker to the ground, and get down
Dance
Throw your fists in the air, whoa
Dance
Toss that fucker back inside, and get down
 
With damaged bodies in mind, I wrote a song about self-creation
If you think it hurts, well good for you, pain keeps emotion in check
I use this song like a tool, freedom in violent catharsis
Feel what my words will do to you, bleeding is self-expression
 
(Chorus)
 
(Post-chorus)
My body is a temple of anger, my body wants to start some wars
My body is broken not beaten, my body comes back for more
My body is a temple of anger, my body wants to start some wars
My body is broken not beaten, my body comes back for more
 
I wrote a song just for you, and then again maybe it’s this one
And if it is, then it’ll do, redundant to make you move
 
(Chorus)
 
(Post-chorus)
 
Yeah yeah yeah
Back to the basics
 
(Post-chorus)
 
 
Burn
 
Ooh-ooh
I thought I told you to be careful not to bring that pretty ass of yours around me
Girl
I am a demon, fallen angel, Satan’s agent, wrap myself in tattered black wings
But hey
I gotta hand it to ya stickin’ around could get real dirty in a fuckin’ hurry
 
(Pre-chorus)
Because because because because because because
To watch you burn (5x)
Is just good clean fuckin’ fun
To watch you burn (4x)
Good clean fuckin’ fun
 
(Chorus)
Get your ass off that dance floor, so I can wrap you in me
I’ll be your blackened whore, if that is what you need
Tear away my disguises, see the demon in me
Be my enraptured whore, is this what you seek?
 
Ooh-ooh
I love the feeling of you burnin’ on me baby, burn it once, twice, twenty-three
Girl
I am a shaman, call me Krishna, call me Crowley, just please fuckin’ call me anything
But hey
I gotta hand it to ya, treadin the Styx, glad to have ya, won’t you cum again
 
(Pre-chorus)
 
(Chorus)
 
Is this what you seek?
9 cirlcles in all
If this is what you need
I’ll guide you in your fall
Is this what you seek?
9 cirlcles in all
If this is what you need
I’ll guide you in your fall
 
(Chorus)
 
 
Underneath Your Bed 

I rest your head against the cracks in your back window
So I can watch the lights thrown across the roof of your car
I hope you know I’ve got possession of your hopes and your dreams
I got em wrapped up real tight in ropes and anger
 
(Pre-chorus)
And in the end, you’ve got to recognize it’s part of me
I just can’t be happy until I watch you bleed
After tonight, I hope you’ll understand it’s part of me
I wanna tear you apart, I wanna feel you bleed
 
(Chorus)
I am the reason you flee
Runnin’ away from me, hide underneath your bed
I’ll be the reason you bleed
Runnin’ away from me, keep your lights on at night
 
I watched you dance alone to music no one else heard
I was perched and poised outside the living room of your home
I’ll brush your hair and paint your toenails, make you oh so pretty
Oh won’t you let me take you away from here?
 
(Pre-chorus)
 
(Chorus)
 
Oh oh oh yeah oh oh hide underneath your bed
Oh oh oh yeah oh oh keep your lights on at night
 
I am the reason you flee
I’ll be the reason you bleed
Hide underneath your bed
 
(Chorus)
 
Oh oh oh yeah oh oh hide underneath your bed
Oh oh oh yeah oh oh keep your lights on at night
 
 
Genocide
 
In this world of ordered chaos, the only sin is to cease to think
So let’s create a masterpiece, before all thought and free will are extinct
They say the beauty of art is in the eye of the beholder but we wrote this song for the blind
And if we have our way, you’ll be deaf by the end of this line
 
(Pre-chorus)
Check out our shit, motherfuckers yes check out this riff
Break your necks to this beat, motherfuckers yes make me believe
March ‘em all out, motherfuckers yes right through the streets
Cock those guns to this beat, motherfuckers set us all free
 
(Chorus)
All hail me, all hail you
From bottom to top, don’t think that I’m ever gonna fuckin’ stop
You make me, I’ll make you
It’s cancer to quit, think I’m gonna throw me a little fit
Line ‘em up, let ‘em fly
 
Take a look at what’s around you, could you honestly give a shit?
Well let’s create a masterpiece, before somebody controls all of this
They say the beauty of art is in the eye of the beholder but we wrote this song for your mind
And if we have our way, you’ll be mine by the end of this line
 
(Pre-chorus)
 
(Chorus)
 
Yeah yeah yeah yes
 
One, by one, by two, by five
I’ve got the answer but you know it’s fuckin’ genocide
Line ‘em up for all their crimes
And in the end you’ll know the reasons why these bullets fly
 
(Pre-chorus)
 
(Chorus)
 
Yeah yeah yeah yes
 
 
I’d Suffer Your Silence
 
Got your hands atop your guns again
I know the way you move when in fear
It’s fine with me except I’m innocent
Spin them guns around, aim and you’ll see
 
Just
Stay
Home
 
You’re so secure in insecurity
Push ‘em all away, fall, and stay down
 
Just
Stay
Home
 
(Chorus)
But I can’t find my way to you when you feel so far away
In sickness and from death I would run to you
But you won’t call my name
I’d suffer your silence to push it all into you
What you think about that?
But I can’t find my way to you when you’re so far away
 
It ain’t much fun to try to talk to you
I know the way you move when I point
Empty those guns in me another day
I am holes, I am death, I am son
 
Please
Come
Home
 
(Chorus)
 
I’d suffer your silence to push it all into you
I’d suffer your silence to push it all into you
 
(Chorus)
 
 
Little Pig (exposed)
 
I shove my phone back in my pocket as I’m walking away from you
I can’t think
I can’t be
With your fingers in my brain
 
Like a stone, I could drop you to the ground and kick you out of my path
 
Let me be clear, I don’t like you, and I’m pushing you the fuck out my way
 
(Chorus)
You’re not a very nice person
You were a dick from the start
I want nothing to do with you
Little pig I’ve got your number now
Little pig, little pig
Go build those walls up, entomb yourself in lies and secrets
Come around
Little pig, little pig
I’ll blow your house in and use the fuckin’ sticks to beat you
Ex-
 
I push that button in my pocket that turns you off
I control
This whole show
And you’ve got nothing left to say
 
Like a bitch, with your whining, I have learned how to just shut you up
 
Let me be clear, you’re an asshole and your judgments all just fall on deaf ears
 
(Chorus)
 
I wanna make it, I can take it, I will shut you up
If you take it from me, break it, I will fuck you up
I am stronger now
I wanna make it, I can take it, I will shut you up
If you take it from me, break it, I will fuck you up
 
(Chorus)
 
Exposed
Exposed
 
 
Barrow Wight
 
My verses are terse, and I’m harsh, and I’m curt
Would you like me to break your nose for you buddy?
I wonder in secret what words you really mean
So what if I do?  So what if I do?
I waited inside, with a hammer in hand
How I’d love to smash that skull of yours fucker
I wonder in secret how strong you really are
So what if I do?  So what if I do?
 
(Chorus)
And I think you’re a goddamn fool
And I keep stepping in shit that you’ve put me through
That crack in your heart is just who you are
You can’t be a victim if your addiction is to hit the ground
So I think you’re a goddamn fool
 
At first I was numb though I felt some concern
But through actions and words you reveal yourself buddy
I know you’ve been watching and waiting to attack
So what if you do?  So what if you do?
Now death is adorned all in greed and in shame
A barrow wight stalks the earth again fucker
I ponder in secret if this is what you are
I see that it’s true
I know that it’s you
 
(Chorus)
 
The barrow wight still stands
But I can sleep alright
So I’ll brush you aside
I have no fear of the shadows
I still have all of my rings
And now I’ve got one that you hid from me
 
(Chorus)
 
 
Freak It Out
 
Freak it out, fuck it up, shoot the lights out
Drag it home, prop it up, pull the blinds closed
Freak it out, fuck it up, shoot the lights out
Drag it home, prop it up, pull the blinds closed
Now
Now
 
I’ve got a strange disease, you see, it’s called lycanthropy
And that means I can be whatever I want whenever I please
But there are times when I can’t justify my place in the world
I reach down deep inside, eviscerate my apathy
We know the world has got a knack for resting on our backs
We try to kill the outside, can’t recognize the true enemy
So if you’re feeling sick, or stuck, or fucked, left out in the cold
Just take my hand and follow me cuz this will set you free
 
Freak it out, fuck it up, shoot the lights out
Drag it home, prop it up, pull the blinds closed
Give this thing what it deserves, and eat the rest
Scream evolution in its face, and beat it to death
Freak it out, fuck it up, shoot the lights out
Drag it home, prop it up, pull the blinds closed
Now, now
 
I’ve got this fantasy, you see, responsibility
And that means you for you and me for me, there’s no other way
But fix yourself if not for you for me and everybody else
We ain’t got time to dick around and wait for you to see
A clearer picture of the world could be just what you need
But you can’t paint a picture with self-imposing blindness, see?
So if you’re feeling sick, or stuck, or fucked, left out in the cold
Just take my hand and follow me cuz this will set you free
 
Freak it out, fuck it up, shoot the lights out
Drag it home, prop it up, pull the blinds closed
Give this thing what it deserves, and eat the rest
Scream retribution in its face, and beat it to death
Freak it out, fuck it up, shoot the lights out
Drag it home, prop it up, pull the blinds closed
Now, now
 
Hey hey hey hey
So throw your fists into the air with the tenacity of a Cuban refugee
One day I’ll take the place of all of you, you’ll take the place of me
If these words aren’t kind or you can’t follow, that’s too damn bad
If this blows your mind or you can’t swallow, then fuck your pride
You walk away cuz you can’t take this, you’re living a lie
You flex your muscle to get your way, then fuckin’ die
I guess we’ll never understand each other, you and I
But that’s ok
 
Freak it out, fuck it up, shoot the lights out
Drag it home, prop it up, pull the blinds closed
Give this thing what it deserves, and eat the rest
Scream absolution in its face, and beat it to death
Freak it out, fuck it up, shoot the lights out
Drag it home, prop it up, pull the blinds closed
Now, now
 
 
These Are a Aew of my Deadliest Deeds
 
Sex full of hatred and murders with hatchets
Industrial mallets swung with impatience
Meat-hooks a-swaying attached to the rafters of
Gutted out barn lofts tucked back in the mountains
Bodies all lined up to cure and to carve
These are a few of my deadliest deeds
 
I learned to tie all these knots back in Boy Scouts
Sheep shanks and square knots and two and half hitches
I’m accustomed to lying in wait in the forest
For hours or days or a week ‘til you tire
I’ve prepared for you a hole in the ground
These are a few of my deadliest deeds
 
(Chorus)
I’m the dog
I’m the bee
I will bite and I’ll scratch and I’ll sting
I’m the lich
Fallen king
I’m the thing that you dream of and scream
I’m the dog
I’m the bee
I will bite and I’ll scratch and I’ll sting
I devour
I consume
I will creep up inside and become you
 
Garbage bags, duct tape, and barbed wire fencing
Drill bats and hammers and rusted out sharp things
Bags full of mystery to stifle your breathing
These are the things that I’ll bring when I’ll kill you
 
(Chorus)
 
 
Victim
 
I have knife, will cut
            (I have been watching for so long I truly know you well)
I am life, will kill
            (you are one among thousands, yet you suit me so)
 
(Chorus A)
I have found beauty in you
I see it in your death
Don’t look away
I am the way, I am the first, I am the end
 
I have gun, will cock
            (you seem to exhibit the need to get to know me better)
Extend hand, take yours
            (come with me, we can talk, I’ll make it comfortable)
 
(Chorus A)
 
(Chorus B)
You’re so lovely when you stare
You’re pupils, my knife edge
Please
Don’t look away
I am the way, I am the first, I am the end
 
Victim, victim you have arrived
Victim, victim so nice to finally meet you
Victim, victim you are the one
Victim, victim this is why I choose you
Victim, victim you have arrived
Victim, victim so nice to finally meet you
Victim, victim you are the one
Victim, victim this is why I chose your
Death
Don’t look away
I am the way, I am the first, I am the end
 
(Chorus A)
 
(Chorus B)
 
 
Credits
 
I once was the victim, a witness to death, and I cherish this moment with you
Now I am the monster you all hoped I’d be, but I won’t waste my hunger on you
My pen is my knife, yeah it cuts deep by rights, and it’s aimed at all the hearts that you drew
Step over you peacefully shrouded by night, and just let the credits roll
 
Roll credits roll credits roll
Roll credits roll credits roll
 
I once had a friendship, a fracture, a gash laid open for all eyes to see
The tendons of kinship have snapped and dried out, and my wounds have all been licked clean
What I leave in your care must be safe from despair, or I’ll know and I’ll drive that point home
No closure, no ending, I still have my hand, but I suggest we let the credits roll
 
Roll credits roll credits roll
Roll credits roll credits roll
Roll off of our backs, worn and broken
Please excuse something in me
What you’d never see
In the end, who walks away, well he is the one who won
So roll credits roll credits roll
 
So I’ve written in my own ending to a tragedy
Whithered though I am, I’ve escaped from this atrocity
Hold out a little longer babe
Rescue is on its way
Try to remember these things that I’ve done are for you
 
Roll credits roll credits roll
Roll credits roll credits roll
Roll out of our sights, preserved and unbroken
Please forgive my indiscretions, remember my words
In the end, you hold the knives and all of their choices
So roll credits roll credits roll
