Faking Smiles

This is a story unknown.
I've hunted for it my whole life.
A man who struggles inside.
Sacrificed his soul, his tomb lobodomized.
I thought I was buried alive.
I thought I was losing my mind.
Faking smiles but dying inside
I thought I would take my own life.
Then you showed me how to die.
That was my...
Ego death!
I thought time was running out.
And somehow, you pulled me to safety.
Why don't you hate me now.
What I've lost you've returned.
Grace!
Taking me down to the earth.
Taking me out of the hurt.
Taking me down to the earth.
Leaving the soil for the dirt.
I know this is my rebirth.
Taking me down to the earth.
Taking me out of the hurt.
Leaving me free.
This is not real.
This is not real.
This is not real.
This is not real!

Lose
The fucking attitude bitch
Use
Use your head and think about it
Every time I come around I see a light switch
From black to white
But I found out you snitched
You'll get a face full of lead
Acting like that
You self absorbed piece of shit
I can't deal with
All of your baggage
It's driving me insane
So are you running
Good on you
You shouldn't stay
You wouldn't want to stay
Away
And see the fallout
You walked away from me
And left me with this pain
planted thoughts that spread like seeds
Destroying all my faith
So walk away from me
And leave me on the stage
With light it's clear to see
The darkness shines your name
So walk away from me
And leave me on the stage
With light it's clear to see
The darkness shines your name
You're so worried
Cause karma knows me well
You're so worried
Cause karma knows me well
And karma has many faces
And today it looks like a Mossberg
Pointed at your chest
So get some rest
Rest in
karma has many faces
And today it looks like a Mossberg
Leave that tired mind
splattered
on the
hotel
bed
The
Hotel
Bed
I'm losing everything
As the trigger turns you red
You walked away from me
And left me with this pain
planted thoughts that spread like seeds
Destroying all my faith
So walk away from me
And leave me on the stage
With light it's clear to see
The darkness shines your name

I have planned for weeks on end.
My victim my sacrifice.
Shes there just beyond this wall.
Should be asleep.
But hearing her weep.
Its occurs to me my disease
of depression.
its spread to her.
And now I plan to tie the hands and feet. And let the demon feed.
And let the demon feed.
Fuck!
And let the demon feed!
I will take her to the demon in the woods
He will pluck the teeth.
just like seeds.
And plant a warmth that will grow deep inside of me.
I suddenly realize I don't deserve this blissfull eternity.
For the sacrifice will now be me.
The sun is down and now I'm numb.
The morning has come
but there is no light.
I can't see.
I wander to a clearing of trees
There's nothing for me now.
No words can come from my mouth.
My teeth were ripped out.
I start to scream inaudible sounds.
My soul is gone now.
I've lost everything.
Your all I want now!

Prodigal Son

How many days did I screw it up.
Inflicting pain on the ones I love.
I hate the way that I burden them.
Sick and tired of the prodigal son.
I bought a pistol and I want to put it to my tongue.
Squeeze the index and the rest us done.
Stained the ceiling with the spread of guts.
I'm sick and tired of the prodigal son.
I'm a punk.
My insides are forever
bundled up.
Butterfly wings
made of switch blades.
Cut cut cut!
Plunge it into my chest!
Cutting open.
I can't breathe.
I can't...
I'll send my prayers away.
To the end of the universe.
The serpents fornicate.
To birth an unholy force.
Let's see, let's see.
Let's see what you can do.
They say they say.
They say he listens to you!
Fuck!
The blade
trembled in
my hands.
I looked down at my chest
The deed was done.
The blood poured out my flesh
But through further examination.
It just
grazed the top
of my skin.
She walked to the room
her screaming voice hoarse,
what have you done.
Why is there blood?
She calls 911.
I sprint out the door.
The next morning
she waits for me.
She says my things are packed
and I must leave.
She says my things are packed never come back never come back.
I'll send my prayers away.
To the end of the universe.
The serpents fornicate.
To birth an unholy force.
Let's see let's see.
Let's see what you can do.
They say they say.
They say he listens to you.
How many times can I fuck it up.
I just want the pain
to numb.
So much disappointment
in her.
Prodigal son.
Enough is enough.

And I know it's all my fault this time.
And you should not care where I have been.
Now you will know now you will know now you will.
Know!
I've lost my life.
I've lost my fucking home.
To this feeling of worthlessness.
I deserve evey bit of rigidness.
In her posture.
I need to end my life.
Set a course to the woods just outside.
The north of town.
Still bleeding I drive there to find a way.
A way out!
Deep in the woods there is a creature that lurks.
I feel it watching me.
Losing my senses I fall to the ground.
Oh god!
What have I done!
The chills run down my back.
I'm shivering the trees are black.
The rolling fog clouds my vision.
I know that i should turn back.
But I have no where to call home.
And soon I won't have my own soul.
What have I done?
Why!
And in this story.
I am tortured.
The cause is blurry.
The path is forward.

1 2 3 plant the dead seeds 4 5 6 sacrifice it 789 go fucking blind 10 11 12 send me to hell
living under the floor boards
It's watching me
It's watching me
looking into my windows
Fogging up the glass It's growing eyes
living under the floor boards
It's watching me
It's watching me
looking into my windows
Fogging up the glass It's growing eyes
Fuck it I don't give a shit anymore
I won't let you scare me into leaving
Trust this will be my last will on this earth
To rid this demon from my being
Fucking drives me insane
I just want to get rid of this pain
I need to know the price to pay myself
I need to look like Christ to hang my guilt
I need to know the price to pay myself
I need to know the price to hang myself
I need to know the price to hang myself
1 2 3 plant the dead seeds 4 5 6 sacrifice it 7 8 9 go fucking blind
I'm out of my mind
To keep on living
would be a waste of time
I've read the native tales
Of how it grows inside
Plucking your teeth
No soul before you die
To keep on living
would be a waste of time
I've read the native tales
Of how it grows inside
No soul before you die
I know its not my guilt
And I know its not my
And I know its not my guilt
My guilt

And I'm not sure you found my void
Looking inside of me looking inside if me
And I'm so numb you know that much
I wouldnt die for me I wouldnt die for me
It hungers for its next meal as it's piercing eyes return
The glowing orbs move closer
and I stumble as I turn
The eyes vanish into the tree line
cracking branches begin to follow me
I sprint head first into the brush and fall 30 feet
Limping back to my car seat
I push the keys into
The ignition and race away
to the interstate
At the old library
I desperately search
For any confirmation of what I saw
Desperately searching im forced to the brink.
Of insanity
I don't know what to think
I'm haunted by the beast
It still replays in my head over and over again
The demons deathly shriek

Foretold

Tucked behind the bookshelves.
Under cobwebs binded pages.
with secrets of spiritual bondage .
A Shape-shifting cultist.
It's name unknown.
A pact of promises to help it grow.
And then it grows.
From stealing souls.
Each tooth from each hole.
Foretold.
The natives called him Redhorn.
The creature appeared in the woods.
The deal is done by fools.
And once its done it grows.
Plucking each tooth from each hole.
And then it grows.
From stealing souls.
Each tooth from each hole.
Foretold.
There must be a sacrifice.
A sacrifice of true love.
If not equal to what's desired.
The sacrificer becomes the prize.
And then it grows.
Stealing your soul.
Each tooth from each hole.
Foretold!

I am only guessing that using a single word synonym for inflicting pain was liked and the adjective ‘Cruelty’ was picked and agreed upon. I could just fucking be talking bullshit? Fuck knows, But I like the word CRUELTY and I like this band more. Perfectly executed design all around. Carry on creating great music guys, I’m certainly going to carry on playing it to people who don’t have the choice of whether they wanna listen or not. 😁
