Guillotine 04:05
GUILLOTINE Hands your little hands grasping tightly all the wrong things This is what you did That’s what you asked for This is what we Hands your filthy hands fondling desperately as the blade falls This is what you did This is what you asked for This is what we And those small words uttered ...you, the unhappy people! This is what you did This is what you asked for This is what we do This is what you ask for Holiness is expired Your holiness was never there Holiness Hands your filthy hands fondling desperately as the blade falls This is what we do This is what you asked for This is what you drowned out by the drumroll That falls on deaf ears This is what you did This is what we asked for This is what we do This is what you asked for Holiness is expired Your holiness was never there Holiness The morning light shines bright on the artist at the square painting pictures of your little head, of your little head. The morning light shines bright on the artist at the square painting pictures of your little head.

THIS IS NOT MY HOME When unnaturally colored men lay at my feet and desperately throw their money to the trees I will stand in the deserts, crying, screaming. One last redemption for my Mother. She worked herself insane Toiling to mend the messes That came from Careless and violent play. My Mother is angry, didn’t she tell you? I did my best, but my education betrayed me And I am left desperate: A starving animal That has grown to depend on The taste of its own flesh. I, the child, am brilliant. But we, the children, are doomed. She rumbled in the night Anxiously seeking rest But she’s scarred for good And may never sleep again. When unnaturally colored men lay at my feet and desperately throw their money to the trees I will stand in the deserts, crying, screaming. One last redemption for my Mother. One last redemption for my Mother. An apple she grew became soot in her mouth, Though it looked so ripe, and it felt so crisp. The running water turned suddenly to sludge And the flower on her windowsill bit her. Rushing to cover the wound she saw her blood: Blackened like the oceans, Drying like the oceans. She coughed through cracked lips as the air became thin. How did this happen? How did this happen? Let the cool water douse your face This is the last time, so make it sting Stand in the shower, shiver hard What else can we do besides Drink the final drops What else can we do besides Continue to ignore? What else can we do besides Continue to ignore? A deepness takes control and she has to leave. This is not my home! She cried, How did this happen? She sits shocked in the same home, the same mess and realizes that this...this is it. How did this happen? The door is locked but she forgets which way is which as she is hit with Dashes of grey, Spatters of black, And brilliant flashes of white. A cacophony, a symphony, a destruction bigger than ourselves. How did this happen? This is not my home! How did this happen? How did this happen? This is not my home! When unnaturally colored men lay at my feet and desperately throw their money to the trees I will stand in the deserts, crying, screaming. One last redemption for my Mother. A cacophony, a symphony, a destruction bigger than ourselves.
