Mi Heroina 03:06
lyrics
with an ice cube and a dull needle we pierced our ears after school i remember laughing so stupid now the morning is dark and it hurts to smile.... when you're homeless everything just seems to hit so close to home gazing out at stars through tiny cutout cardboard pinholes ritual fills a void inside an irrational soul that calls my name down the radiating alleyways of Chernobyl while above a kettle of scolding vultures circles the taste of ice cream cone unsaved in a church full of cannibals i remember praying in secret now the night is long and drawn out as hell....

Othello, O beware! 03:00
lyrics
i wish your door would have been barred. i would have thought twice before i knocked. i wish the boy who answered was.... not your "friend" you always "met" at the bar.. i wish i would have listened to all those nightmares that you told me to ignore so i forgot.. i wish i wasn't always thinking with my heart in such deep morbid thought. And when you came home gushing blood i wish i were a vampire and sucked all of it up, but i'm not the monster you thought i was. know know no no i'm not some drooling fiendish werewolf with claws... i'm just a soul trapped up in some other dimension screaming out while everyone pays little to no attention to it. i'm just a ghost that sometimes flickers in your room the guardian of your impending doom.

Sin, Guilt, Neurosis; The Tree of Knowledge 05:54
lyrics
look at my face and you can tell that there's a skull underneath this flesh please take my hands use them as a crutch because i don't feel anything follow my shadow into my chest let it bring you down detaching you like a critic.... Now you're staring at a reflection in the rear view mirror but you're not driving away from it... And you say that you have learned your lesson while you hold your maker accountable for most of it... look at my scars think of how they felt when they were holes so violent and fresh please understand that's not what i meant but lately everything means nothing watch as the gray clouds form from my breath let them rain down hydrofluoric acid.....................

Mariana's Trench 03:39
lyrics
For three whole days i held my breath i sank down......... to the depths of Mariana's trench pulled an icicle out from my chest now i'm the tallest snow-capped peak on Earth Mt. Everest.. On the 7th day stared down the sun I went blind................. with these visions of cataclysmic ends and the deepest fears that release when my spine bends as far backwards as i can. I need some fresh air to feed this wanting flame I drank some water. It didn't change a thing Just made me thirstier for an explanation of everything while I lost my voice from ranting on and on about absolutely nothing...... Fishing alone on the dead sea I got high.............. off the cold wind blowing in self pity's innate pleasure seeking properties that every human being's brain thinks it needs The truth will find you as you sleep and as I lie.......... birds are becoming notes on power lines gravity gives out, planets align to form a paradox where reality unwinds.
