Artist Discography


I bleed liquid gold and slur speech in a cryptic code
my feet slipping on this twisted road 
only the mystic knows the lone figure in the distance 
no bigger than the sum of his inscriptions 
or the extent of his conviction 
I'll sip vitamin enriched liquid diction
and digest fiction for culture, I'm force fed code 
the monster my head and net connected by a pole
Try to hold things together like the skins I fold 
take my food for thought with a pinch of salt 
true to form, my sin results in self doubt 
look into my eyes I don't need to spell it out
you can see it, 
how I tripped and fell down and picked myself up, 
turned myself round from the cliffs edge 
and staggered home like a misled piss head 
I put up a fight, till my fist bled 
I choke on lead, until my spits red 
when I step outside to get a quick breath 
of fresh death no there's no air left, 
and 50% of us couldn't care less, 
I bare flesh exposed to the cancerous
light like tearing the film, out ya cameras 
I'm still ravenous, I feel my stomach acid 
keep burning as I work towards another classic
melt ya plastic chat snatch ya comfort blanket 
in this cold world your naked and un-attractive 
and ya tactics are underhanded 
I hibernate through the winter and wait for the summer madness 

[Chorus]

Call me the dirty stop out, 
fetus on the couch 
stout on my breath and a bad case of desert mouth 
forever drowning my pain in the pleasant sound 
of whispered words and rainfall on little ground 
gagged and bound with no hope of gettin out 
save the secrets and lies, I'm trying to settle down 
but like the weather now, I'm unpredictable 
my hates bitter but my loves unconditional
living in this digital age, 
these are strange days my rage tamed, 
and freed on the same page
I make waves, till I wash away the refuge
god of the sea, these are the eight moons of Neptune 
I make moves to refuge, but don't sleep 
I walk the street, with a rose in my teeth
and a bitter sweet song in my heart I take every step, 
the hard headed don't ever rest 
so till the very end, I wont ever rest 
I serenade my angel with every breath
god sends in remembrance of lost friends 
whenever my cold tent drops, I know what went on then 
but most need to focus ahead 
close my eyes and get close to the dead 
I'm the ghost that begs to be released from limbo 
between two worlds like the thief at the window

[Chorus]
