Machina Non Grata

Oh yeah, come on The night has just begun Feelin' like a million bucks Line up the shots Got a pocket full of cash Goin' to the moon and back, motherfucker, I am That's the plan Better recognize if you want to hang Vodka brain, half insane A smile on my face ripped away You think you can only fall so far Until the lights don't shine as bright And you only fall apart You think you can only fall so far Until the lights don't shine as bright And you only fall apart Lost and heavy-headed Longing for the touch Of a familiar feel Lingering what ifs Cast a shadow across the years Lost and heavy-headed Longing for the touch Of a familiar feel Lingering what ifs Cast a shadow across the years Looking back at it now was it worth it? No one's left but no one's perfect All the late nights, all the fist fights Empty bottle symphony Another drink won't set you free Glory be to misery I think I've had enough of all the bullshit Having to prove myself Because the rest of the scum put your ass through hell But yo, it ain't my fault You doubled down blind eyed on empty love so listen up I ain't your daddy or your mama, don't forget it I'll have you clown faced, looking straight pathetic Please leave my ass alone I just wanna stay home and turn off my phone Fuck off Fuck you Big mood Taste of gasoline, chaos anatomy I need my fix, I need it now Make it a double Lookin' for trouble On this Saturday night as the streets burn It's more than ill will It's guided principles Anger from the womb to the tomb Alone again Look what I did Look what I did Look what I did Cycle of pain Looking back at it now was it worth it? No one's left but no one's perfect All the late nights, all the fist fights Empty bottle symphony Another drink won't set you free Glory be to misery There's nothing left for me to fuck up Maybe I can keep the peace Maybe just this once But I don't want none Of this quiet life I always run away Glory be to misery Glory be to misery

New sick psycho, depraved, with hell to pay Kiss of death has set the abyss aflame Flash of the void has spoiled future fame One man, mental, left with this hell to pay Beyond this world is where the hostility bred with hate! I shall ring the bell of Sodom I've come back for you bitch It's open season on these gutless fucks We'll all cease to exist Crawling on hands and knees from birth Biting the back of mother earth Stabbing the stomach of the beast Annihilation masterpiece Tip toe with catastrophe Hard on for havoc, it lights up my body The whore universe moans for more and more I'll give it what it wants: (blood!) Kiss of death has set the abyss aflame! Ripped from this life Eyes roll back Mind goes blank "Hell to pay" (In bed with the universe, a pimp of my own pain Flirting for penance) one and the same, oh! The whore universe moans for more and more We are one and the same! No starry eyes for the precious life that now surrounds me No more wondrous hope for the future that lays before me It's a different story for a different man in another life Another realm where I am one with the light Hell to pay! (2x) Beyond this world is where the hostility bred with hate! Now! Now I'm left with this hell to pay!

Only suffering can change me (One last breath from the bottom!) Who will be in line to save me?

Forcing my hand, they got me grindin' my teeth Until they fall out at my feet Welcome the world to who I am Cursed from birth with my heart in my hands Pull the curtain back, let them see what they paid for A man that is done for Eyes afire while licking their teeth Tonight I am the feast I was born with a heart too big and a soul that is not for sale In this putrid world, something so rare One man freak show! Come one, come all! (Face to face with the truth Only suffering can change me One last breath from the bottom Who will be in line to save me?!) Rugh! Pound of flesh!

Tsavo! No peace! Welcome to disaster, plagued men reign disorder Shredded all life with frailty (no peace!) Hatred burns like fire at the core of desire Flesh is all that we live for It's human to believe that you’re safe with these four walls surrounding But it all went wrong in the darkest days We'll take everything away as light disintegrates Over and over again you look back on the crippling doubt It's a miracle how you made it out by the skin of your teeth With the souls of dead men snappin’ at your feet "Come on, lick those lips so you can taste it Go on, close your eyes and feel sick" 'Cause when the sun drips down into blood That's how you'll know the devil has come to Tsavo To eat the heart of God! And kiss off the skin to drink of warm blood until all life has left! Refined pure evil! So make no mistake A quick death is the only saving grace Right here, right now we can bury the hope of reaching home The bullets (will run out eventually!) There is no escaping the inevitable, the downfall Two devils could never rise on broken wings, but we misunderstood We're back to back, hiding in dirt You pray but God's not answering There's nothing left, reach out, touch the sun For new beginnings, for our loved ones Search for peace in a world drenched in blood Embrace the end! Over and over again you look back on the crippling doubt It's a miracle how you made it out by the skin of your teeth With the souls of dead men snappin’ at your feet Come on, lick those lips so you can taste it Go on, close your eyes and feel sick ’Cause when the sun drips down into blood That's how you’ll know the devil has come to Tsavo To eat the heart of God! Look at you now! (3x) Open your eyes, you're a fucking disaster Look at you now, motherfucker look! Welcome to a place of slaughter!

Bury me ("low") ("Lie to me") Gimme' your word it's safe ("Lie to me") So I can dig my grave! At the end of the day hang me high Under thunder and lightning filled skies Then bury me low So no angels die for the life I loathe Run your dreams into the ground!

Dismal looming current A darkness I call my own Fuck all the extra Won’t take no for an answer Torn by temptation Suffocated for a spell Though temptation does not sleep softly When entombed in the womb where it swelled And swelled And swelled It’s beyond hushing and hiding away The damnation of this plane Eternal conflict I can’t come to terms Eons and eons of darkness interred What the fuck is it worth? All of the hurt I plead Martyr me heavenly hands Mold the impossible product Cut lines and shapes Slave away Until I ooze perfect incarnate It’s beyond hushing and hiding away Damnation on display Dismal looming current A darkness I call my own Blocking all the extra bullshit out As I squeeze blood from this stone Torn by temptation Suffocated for a spell Though temptation does not sleep softly When entombed in the womb where it swelled Out on the edge of the earth I look down See the universe from up above Sleeping sound It’s indifferent Cutthroat and cold Will I make it back? Will I make it back whole? Any compromise I welcome it The honey of my soul I cherish it This vessel is wearing thin On the edge of the earth and I want back in Martyr me heavenly hands Mold the impossible product Cut lines and shapes Slave away Until I ooze perfect incarnate It’s beyond hushing and hiding away Now tell me What the fuck is it worth? All of the hurt All of the pain Tell me All of the hurt All of the pain What the fuck is it worth? I want back in

"If I go back, when I'm dead, to the state where I was before I was born, couldn’t I happen again? You know, what has happened once can very well happen again, If it happened once, it's extraordinary. And it's not really very much more extraordinary if it happened all over again. So, in other words, I do know for certain, because I’ve seen people die and I've seen people born after them, that at any rate, after I die not only somebody, but myriads of other beings will be born... that I know, we all know that, there's no doubt about it. But what worries us is that, when we're dead, there could be nothing at all for ever, as if that were something to worry about. Before you were born there was this same nothing at all for ever, and yet you happened. And if you happened once, you could happen again. Now what does that mean?" This story has an end, but I'm not brave enough to write it yet Put the words down on paper, have the blood quit pumping I'll always be by your side! All the shows and the late nights Let these six strings never wear thin Memorialized in sine waves It was always gonna' come to this As terminal lucidity sings to me Circle back in death, I shall Through sonic terror I will live forever Out your speakers from the other side Valhalla beware, begin to prepare A fight I was never supposed to win Let these mortal lines speak instead "Heavy headed and still hungover And jealousy is still hell The rain never came, and it never will Just the same" "My reflection has no name And the violent sound still rings out Born with nothing to die the same" "Yours truly..."
