Babylon Gimme 02:16
lyrics

I don't care what you're giving to me I'm not prepared but just listen to me If we're scared of the lesson Then pack up all the snake skin you're wearing Or just shed it Never knowing how to define nothing at all He loves me, he loves me not until the bald bulb falls Polite as a painting waiting near a velvet rope Stationary information while the laymen cope I’m lamenting yesterday Stolen breath from far away It never meant so much to me Than bodies over Babylon (this week) Everyone wants something real To validate everything we feel Die inside or die alone With bodies over Babylon (this month) They don’t care, they just wanna see the money over there Is your fate wasted on your neighbor’s plate Tasted by the magistrate Waiting for the perfect date Too simple to understand Or civil to lend a hand Message everyone you know To feel a hit of relevance again These sentences won’t stand up To the scent of false prophets Of the deified endeavors of the weak Who only plot it I’m lamenting yesterday Stolen breath from far away It never meant so much to me Than bodies over Babylon (this week) Everyone wants something real To validate everything we feel Die inside or die alone With bodies over Babylon (this month)

Voracious Appetites 03:02

Oh, look at the new stuff much better than the old ones When our skin is slack over our pack of marrow we’ll join them The crematory’s up front fee, a deal on QVC The coroners come and lug us away and soluble ash we’ll be Figuring out a signal of doubt The satellite repeats Singling out every ounce Ingenuine speech The eyes are pecked of the crusader The fault, none of the birds’ The welder soldering cages The fault, none of the work We all want something new to talk about Telling off something or somebody to blame Voracious appetites leading us to our demise Fill us up at any price, weak until we’re feeling this way Is this all really what we wanted now Petrified, sitting on the rock we became Voracious appetites calling out into the night Lonely in our action, looking back thinking we needed to stay Don’t wanna get close to me You don’t wanna get close to me You don’t wanna get close to me You don’t wanna get I know what we don’t say I look at more than your face See a carbon-based body walk into a room and not know its name I feel that we feel the same Laugh until it goes away Agreement to disagree until we’re in the ground Comprised of the same things Love and loss til it caves in Candles lit in the basement Pentagram on the eastern wall Until the demon starts speaking Promising it’ll be easy, trace the sigil it leaves me Write a song in obsidian blood That drips slow from the ceiling We all want something new to talk about Telling off something or somebody to blame Voracious appetites leading us to our demise Fill us up at any price, weak until we’re feeling this way Is this all really what we wanted now Petrified, sitting on the rock we became Voracious appetites calling out into the night Lonely in our action, looking back thinking we needed to stay Don’t wanna get close to me You don’t wanna get close to me You don’t wanna get close to me You don’t wanna get
