Album: Atavist (2011)

Remember To Forget

Hush now, close your eyes
open your mouth, swallow lies

Hush now, close your eyes
open your mouth, swallow, swallow lies

Moth breath fluttering
He whispered to me
the violence of silence

We have a terrible secret that we
must never repeat
& if i do, he'll dedicate his life to
ripping me to shreds

Remember to forget.

Poison crown of regret
Sucking life like funeral flies
Shadow of Oedipus
Eat the fever; knife the eyes

Remember
to forget
to relent
to surrender

Remember
to forget
to relent
to surrender

I hope you die like swine surrounded
by starving dogs
I'm stained by your sin like the
blood soaked boards of the cross

Between the Devil & the deep sea,
you'll find me
dreaming evil endlessly, aroused by
life's fantasies

What do you do when dreams come
true and it's all so ordinary?
Stitch the wounds of complacency
and hide your eyes from reality?

I am the shape of a God lifting up
the sky.

Remember
to forget
to relent
to surrender

Remember
to forget
to relent
to surrender

INSURRECTION

I kicked you out of bed
stabbed knives into the walls
poured gas over your head
struck a match in the hall

This will remind you
This will remind you
This will remind you the burden
we carry
This will remind you
This will remind you
This will remind you the razors are ready

Room after room I hunt the darkened
world for you
Casket black, dried & cracked, ashes
among the dunes
But I've gone blind in time to lose
you to the dark
Now I'm immune to you and your
whorish heart

Hus now close your eyes
Open your mouth, swallow lies
Hush now you're all mine
Close your eyes, close your eyes

Remember
to forget
to relent
to surrender

Remember
to forget
to relent
to surrender
