Abattoir 04:32
Youngest daughter, oldest friend Called for slaughter, the coldest end. Take the Talisman, I'll do what malice can You cannot have this land, you cannot have this land. A sacred rite, and all that's left. To bind me tight, in warp and weft. A chant of malice, Scorn and hate. Drain the chalice, of grain and grape. Mother's milk and father pride, we were born to be the sacrifice.

I can see the shape of your skull underneath your skin I can feel the tingle of your nerves when I kiss your chin Maybe we're all ghosts inside and we shall die someday but for now just hold me close and tell me it's ok I push your lips apart to see the whites of your teeth and the darkness inside you starts to soak into my sheets I wait for your reply and nothing comes to me and the heart that burned for you starts to slowly bleed.

Romance 04:00
Lacing stitches through the marrow of my bones yellow fat and pink flesh separate with groans the deepest pleasure the strangest night old wounds emerge with scars so white Adding scalps to your collection you make me for your affection body rushing to meet its shadow rutting deep in field and fallow

Hedonist 03:39
I can't face to call your phone, I drown myself in babylon. I hate myself when I'm alone, A thousand deaths but I feel none. A black dog, on my chest, I just want to feel my best. I just need to get some rest, It's been days, and I'm still not dressed.
