The only coherent position is thus revolt
Constant confrontation between man and the obscure
An insistence to challenge the world anew every second
A certainty of a crushing fate without resignation
How shadowy and transient against eternities
How aimless and Arbitrary
We need to disentangle ourselves from the obvious
from the fascinating lure of the directly visible

Under the burden of youth damnation is a game
try to reach the inner circles running through the flames
iniquitous, reprobate, wicked, vile depraved
sin joie devivre confessions never came
we never were allowed to weep for lost vivacity
I never regarded delectation admirably
A comedy of fools trails belied by shame
love is just a drug and Satan's just a name
paradise is painful if forever's just the same
sin joie devivre you'll never make me tame
I touched my face for the last time
the only choice I had was lies
can you tell? look in my eyes
see how deep I've made my disguise
Mother, your son is going to hell.
Why would I even try?
How could I feel such pride?
A wall of lurid pictures waiting to be framed
sex and blood is all I've wanted
I ask for it by name
How I wish for a future with only myself to blame
Sin joie devivre
damnation is my fame
I killed a woman from the inside out
I filled your priestess with my doubts
If you've lost your way give me a shout
I'll show you what we're tainting now
MOTHER! YOUR SON IS GOING TO HELL

I am the man full of love
I am the levy flooded 'til breaking
I am the lover in the valley
gone are the mountains
gone are the godly
I am the cruelty that they feel for me
I am lovely, a friend to everybody.
I am precious, and conscious, the rarest of beings
I am the knowledge before me
prohibited, barred, banned by the holy
I am the voice in the mist of darkness
leading you to that great building
I am the finger pointed and mocking
at souls led to a fruitless tree
I am the godless, incredulous skeptic
Oh what a wonder just to be
I am lovely, a friend to everybody.
I am precious, and conscious, the rarest of beings
I am reason, I'm virtue, in a great vacuum
I am determined, a synapse, automatic
No need for apologetics
No need for broken memetics
No need for prostrated men
No need for blood atonement
And I don't need your fucking free will
Don't dangle that shit in front of me
No, I don't need your fucking free will
I don't need anything
I am lovely, a friend to everybody.
I am precious, and conscious, the rarest of beings
I am reason, I'm virtue, in a great vacuum
I am determined, a synapse, automatic

Don't make me choose between body and soul
the dualist denies and life and death in full
either I'll be left waiting in vain for heaven
or I'll be clamoring for nirvana within
I don't love life because I'm used to it
and I'm not only here as an act of endurance
There's a certain method to madness as well as to love
I can only believe in a god who dances with us
In spite of so many pervasive lies
the truth of life and death will come to light
of my sovereignty and my servitude
of my intricate connection and my solitude
I don't love life because I'm used to it
and I'm not only here as an act of endurance
There's a certain method to madness as well as to love
I can only believe in a god who dances with us
There is no human nature for there is none to conceive it
Only man can make for himself what he is
I am only I after this
I am only I after this thrust towards existence\
I don't love life because I'm used to it
and I'm not only here as an act of endurance
There's a certain method to madness as well as to love
I can only believe in a god who dances with us

I don't want you to listen
I just want you to talk to me
I haven't had a single thing
to say in weeks
I just want to lay here
with open ears
until we begin to fade
into sleep
You are my conscience and my cure
You are the anchor and the door
You are my one un-caged bird
You are my everything
I don't want you to close your lips
I want you to sing
I don't want you to see me as bright
when you're the one who's shining
I have nothing to give to you
except every piece of me
come and be my distraction
come and be my peace
You are my conscience and my cure
You are the anchor and the door
You are my one un-caged bird
You are my everything
I don't want you to cry
unless that's a good thing
I don't want you to lose your mind
without taking me on the journey
You are my conscience and my cure
You are the anchor and the door
You are my one un-caged bird
You are my consciousness and core
You are my consecrated lore
You are my dancing conqueror
You are my everything

Beckon children to your chambers
interrogate then fill them with your whims
accountable to none, none but him
yet he's not listening, he's not checking in
say that it's love for the little ones
never asked to be here, just duty
who would want a burden so heavy
got to take it out on somebody
covered in their blood
while they're soaking in your semen
but I'm the evil one for pointing it out
ensanguined
yes I know yes I've seen it
but I'm the one who's wrong
for saying anything at all
promise of riches beyond counting
don't you dare lose them for your human needs
even when you've left our poppers creed
good luck ridding yourself of the guilt buried beneath
send them back to their husbands
who will strike them down again
don't let that young man leave until
he knows he's a dirty faggot
attack the credibility of your victims
distract from your culpability, sing hymns
covered in their blood
while they're soaking in your semen
but I'm the evil one for pointing it out
ensanguined
yes I know yes I've seen it
but I'm the one who's wrong
for saying anything at all
don't you dare ask me for forgiveness
you won't get it
don't you dare ask me to forget it
i can't do it
the truth is I don't understand
what function you serve
I can't un-see the things I know
what real people don't deserve
don't you dare ask me to reconsider
I'll let you know my reasons
don't you dare ask me for language sweeter
gave that up long ago
the truth is I don't understand
what function you serve
I can't un-see the things I know
what real people don't deserve
covered in their blood
while they're soaking in your semen
but I'm the evil one for pointing it out
ensanguined
yes I know yes I've seen it
but I'm the one who's wrong
for saying anything at all
