SHUT UP YOU DUMB MOTHERFUCKER

Darkroom

|
I am closing the door
Locking the bolt
And nailing myself to the floor
Erratically shaking
No visitation
And now I am pulling the chord
Not hesitant
To let you in
This is what I’m here for
(This is what I’m here for)
Have you forgotten that I exist
6 years
And nothing to show for it
Only bruises from throwing my
Head to the floor (to the floor)
Are you this fucking useless
this search remains fruitless
You children are spoiled
How could you ask for more
(How could you ask for more)
I’m taking you with me
Is it blasphemy
To beg the all fucking mighty
To stand up and speak
And come out of fucking hiding
I’m begging you help me
I’m stuck down here writhing
Just like your only son
Bright red effigy
Just like your only son
I’ll die with my hands nailed up
Rub my name in your spit
You’re the next body I’ll drop
I’ll die with my hands nailed up

Rigor Mortis

|
Over and over
This chip on my shoulder
The weight feels like boulders
A mouth full of smolder
Weary and older
Movement is slower
Weary and older
Limping and lame
I feel death again, the vice in my veins
I feel death again, you know who to blame
I feel death again, the vice in my veins
I feel death again, I’m drowning in shame
Stiff as a board
I lay here forlorn
Unable to move
All movement, I lose
I can’t feel my fingers
I can’t feel my toes
Creeping towards death
The symptoms, I’ve shown
Stiff as a board
I lay here forlorn
Unable to move
All movement, I lose
I can’t feel my fingers
I can’t feel my toes
Creeping towards death
The symptoms, I’ve shown
I feel death again, the vice in my veins
I feel death again, you know who to blame
These symptoms

Quiet
03:05
|

|
If you were quiet
When you talked
I’d probably listen to you
But you won’t calm down
And it makes me hate you
You make my ears ring
It won’t go away
Selective hearing
Doesn’t change a thing
You won’t calm down
And it makes me hate you
Even more
Never speak again
And I’ll be at peace
When you’re at your lowest
Don’t fucking come to me
I’ll watch from the sidelines
Just to see you bleed
If you’re dead or alive
It doesn’t matter to me
DOESNT MATTER TO ME
I’ll make you die with me
Just to see you bleed
And I’ll die
Again
Before I let it
Get to me
You’ve caused this loathing
And my endless grief
I would walk this road
Until there’s blisters
On my feet
Just to kill the satisfaction
Of being close to me
And I know
That you’ll die alone
Because you push everyone away
Or maybe it’s turned around
And no one wants to stay
I would understand
You are
Nothing
To me
Only
Ever
Lonely
You’re a fucking low life
Wasted
My time
I will never get that back
YOU MOTHER FUCKER

DYG

|
|||
|
This is the year
The one where you get out
I’ll be waiting with a shovel
To take off your head mother fucker
I made a deal with death
So I can be the one
To take your life away
In exchange for my time
It doesn’t bother me
I’ll spend it in a cell
It doesn’t bother be
If I knew it meant that you’re in hell
You’re a stupid little bitch
And if you don’t watch out you’ll get fucked up
Too many times have you gotten away with it
And I know damn well that that jail cell didn’t teach you shit
And there’s more than me who want you to bleed
Dig this hole with me
Make the bed in which you’ll sleep
I guess it’s better not to waste time
Cuz I’ll be digging dirt with your fucking teeth
Oh the pleasure I felt as I watched the light drain from your eyes
I’ll fall right to sleep when you’re covered up
In bloody sheets in the back seat of my car
Grovel at my feet
And maybe I’ll spare you one second of your life
Dig this hole with me
We’re only moments from relief
Murder in my bones
You’ll sleep with worms below

Dirt
01:45
|
|||
|
What kind of dirt do you have on me
I spent my whole life
Accepting the lie
I’ve come to terms with living a short life
Damaged my body in your name
And now there’s blood spilled
For you to claim
You made the cut but i held the blade
I revel in the turmoil
Cast a stone
I cast a fucking dagger back
I find solace in the silence
Sever and cut the vile tongue you speak

Nothing Holy
03:29
|
|||
|
Do you regret all of the agents
You have released
which have all since broken
I’d like death to let me take care of this one
With no payment in return
Take my offering as a token
You can’t stop me if I take it first
Waiting for him
Waiting for me
And Who are you
To tell me right from wrong
Tell me
What do you believe
Is it a shame I didn’t hold out
When there’s no courage left
You’ll never see my face again
This is exactly what I knew would happen
If I left myself unchecked
Should’ve guessed I was all alone
Cuz I never got an answer
I knew I was all alone
Because you never made the call
I knew I was all alone
You never made the fucking call
Will fire consume me if I take my life
Or did me and God have last conversations
Made him agree to my decisions
Understanding all of my ugly visions
There is
Nothing
Up there
For us
There is nothing holy
About the way I feel
I can hear the call of fires
I can hear the screams of fear

Lifeless
03:24
|
|||
|
Rip this animal from me
A horn baring beast
It’s so unrelenting
Convince me otherwise
That what he tells me isn’t true
Trapped in these walls
With only one way out
Help me I don’t think there’s a way out
Give me a reason that I should stay
Hold up examples of how things have changed
Tell me it would matter if I left today
the loathe of my mother convinced
Me to stay
Tell my family I’m sorry for the choice that I made
I promise in do time you’ll all be ok
Move on from this dark place
In hopes that floating will lift off the weight
No sign of God
But there’s a sign heaven is vacant
Force my hand, away from the trigger
help me kick the chair from under my sneakers
Leave me to hang from the rafters
Swinging as your ears fill with my laughter
Shake my body to see that it’s lifeless
Breathe your air from your lungs into mine and
Cry yourself to sleep
Let your memories erase me
Look me in my cold dead eyes

Forlorn
03:02
|
|||
|
Throwing up at the thought of me
Skin is cold, someone blanket me
In covers of reassuring dreams
I’ll never warm up to anxiety
I thought I quit this
I thought I agreed
Inflicting valleys into my skin
I swear to god I tried to listen
A victim of my perfidy
I can remember it all
Hold me up onto the highest platform
Make me accountable for what my body has paid for
I’m so Forlorn
In my future I am nothing
but Forlorn
I am Forlorn
A perpetual loathe

No Reassurance

Answers no answers
Shake your finger at me
Answers No answers
To my
Repeated questions
Sit there in silence
Laugh it off like it’s all a joke
It won’t be so funny
When we all abandon you
A lifetime of suffering
And all we ask is for reassurance
You created a living hell
Then left us all
To fend for ourselves
I’m not convinced that we all bloom
And I know I can’t depend on you
Above our heads the ones that leave
I’d look for answers if we could speak
But I know
You’d never tell me
Even just before the end
Face to face (look at me)
And I know
You’d never tell me
Even just before the end
You would remain just as hard to reach
I want to know where I go
I don’t feel eternal
I want to know where I go
So fucking spill it mother fucker
What’s the point of keeping secrets
Let me know (Let me know!)
When you’re fucking ready
And I might change my mind
I wish I could follow your last breath
To see where it chose to rest
Does it fill your lungs up somewhere else
Or does it all just dissipate
(Does it all just go away)
Do we all just go away
Or is there something more out there
You don’t have to tell me where
But knowing nothing isn’t fair

so glad I snagged this. I bought the demo ep twice, 1 time on purpose and 1 time thinking it was this on discogs, clearly not paying attention. so to think I had this and then realized I didn't made me want this so much more. this is perfectly executed sxe hardcore 90s style. the indecision nods are great, a band very dear to my heart. when blindfold came on my 41 year old ass jumped out of the chair a I was looking for the Mic lol. very exciting band . ffo. all out war. indecision obviously
