Dachshund 02:48
lyrics

Yet another day Scratching lice away Scabs raining down Like it’s christmas day A dog turd away From the milky way Tails waggling A rotor blade will slay The hell-mouth of the hellhound Gaping at the bowel sound The rise of the hell mound Soon he’ll be crowned Black licorice shooting out of every hole Like bile A constant constellation in the sky A pretty face in every window of the inn Trying to take down the operation from within "Not every hunter is a killer“ "Not every liar is a cheat“ Well if you think like that my friend You’ll be the last one to admit defeat With a fucked up mind Intrusive thoughts find their way into the weaker kinds And the volcano has erupted Shredded skin and debris outside the atmosphere My red rocket takes me away to the pesticide dimension I find my home on the sand banks of the sea of tranquility Where the shit stains have reached the pit stains And all poetry is filth I piss on my belongings and all that’s left of me A toilet stone as a sign of blasphemy Moldy cheese growing arms and wings ready to fly off into the hell that i created for myself

Morning light Feed my soul Burn my eyes Down to coal Fill my lungs Up with gunk 'Till I burst Vomit drunk I came at nighttime I came alive I came at nighttime I came alive I came at nighttime I came alive I came at nighttime I came alive I came at nighttime Morning light Feed my soul Burn my eyes Down to coal Fill my lungs Up with gunk 'Till I burst Vomit drunk I came alive I came at nighttime I came alive I came at nighttime I came alive I came at nighttime I came alive I came at nighttime

The Petal Waltz 03:43
lyrics
buy track
She sits inside her flowery petals of warmth Comes out when the first beams of sunlight are born Wars and hunger Destruction and anger There’s nothing in this world to see I said nothing in this world to see She let inside a well known stranger into her nest She built a second layer of petals around his beating Chest to save him Her arms bent round him He’s still shaking from the storm All night she keeps him warm Not a day goes by where he doesn’t feel the longing urge to be with her He’s the only insect around, yet he feels safe in her lair Pollinate, respirate, validate, amputate Metamorphose Nearly drowned in the lake of cocytus She fished him out with a strong guiding hand And while his wings were still stuck to his torso She safely swam the both to land A sea of men Unarmed, standing, staring They rushed to the nearest exit and made their way home A waltz performed by just the two No prospectors, an intimate act It was then and there that he knew An empty shell that he left aback And as he shed his skin And his wings came to flutter He opened his gunk-blinded eyes And his heart would quickly emerge Like an axolotl’s gills An eternal youth A safety of unencumbered will Nothing like it was before Nothing like it ever was Seven verses and seven acts Afterwards the crown shone golden in the field at night

Thin Line 03:59
lyrics
buy track
You’re pulled in by the force of the tide The gravitation’s strong in the moonlight The salt water fills your skin balloon Don’t try to fly to closely to the moon What a waste A waste A waste Enough A heavy flow makes water out of wine Like a hyena you’re walking a thin line Be a leader, crawl crawl like a kingsnake Old slob Don’t stop Slug fuck The gunk will drop Cough drop Throat gob A swamp blob Spewing snot Be a leader, crawl crawl like a kingsnake Walk a thin line, walk a thin line….
