<pre> |
|||
Choices always were a problem for you. |
|||
What you need is someone strong to guide you. |
|||
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow, |
|||
what you need is someone strong to use you... |
|||
like me, |
|||
like me. |
|||
If you want to get your soul to heaven, |
|||
trust in me. |
|||
Don't judge or question. |
|||
You are broken now, |
|||
but faith can heal you. |
|||
Just do everything I tell you to do. |
|||
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow. |
|||
Let me lay my holy hand upon you. |
|||
My God's will |
|||
becomes me. |
|||
When he speaks out, |
|||
he speaks through me. |
|||
He has needs |
|||
like I do. |
|||
We both want |
|||
to rape you. |
|||
Jesus Christ, why don't you come save my life. |
|||
Open my eyes and blind me with your light |
|||
and your lies. |

||Track 69||Disgustipated|| |
|||
And the angel of the lord came unto me, snatching me up from my place of slumber. |
|||
And took me on high, and higher still until we moved to the spaces betwixt the air itself. |
|||
And he brought me into a vast farmlands of our own midwest. And as we descended, |
|||
cries of impending doom rose from the soil. One thousand, nay a million voices |
|||
full of fear. And terror possesed me then. And I begged, |
|||
Angel of the Lord, what are these tortured screams?" |
|||
And the angel said unto me |
|||
These are the cries of the carrots, the cries of the carrots! You see, |
|||
Reverend Maynard, tomorrow is harvest day and to them it is the holocaust." |
|||
And I sprang from my slumber drenched in sweat like the tears of one million |
|||
terrified brothers and roared, |
|||
"Hear me now, I have seen the light! |
|||
They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! |
|||
Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers!" |
|||
Can I get an amen? Can I get a hallelujah? Thank you Jesus. |

Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of Freaks |

Some say a comet will fall from the sky. |
|||
Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves. |
|||
Followed by faultlines that cannot sit still. |
|||
Followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits. |
|||
Some say the end is near. |
|||
Some say we'll see armageddon soon. |
|||
I certainly hope we will cuz |
|||
I sure could use a vacation from this |

"I, I don't have a whole lot of time. Um, OK, I'm a former employee of Area 51. |
|||
I, I was let go on a medical discharge about a week ago and, and... [chokes] |
|||
I've kind of been running across the country. Damn, I don't know where to start, |
|||
they're, they're gonna, um, they'll triangulate on this position really soon. |
|||
OK, um, um, OK, what we're thinking of as, as aliens, they're extradimensional |
|||
beings, that, an earlier precursor of the, um, space program they made contact |
|||
with. They are not what they claim to be. Uh, they've infiltrated a, a lot of |
|||
aspects of, of, of the military establishment, particularly the Area 51. |
|||
The disasters that are coming, they, the military, I'm sorry, the government |
|||
knows about them. And there's a lot of safe areas in this world that they |
|||
could begin moving the population to now. They are not! They want |
|||
those major population centers wiped out so that the few that are left will |
|||
be more easily controllable." |

So familiar and overwhelmingly warm |

|||
Embracing you, this reality here, |
|||
This one, this form I hold now, so |
|||
Wide eyed and hopeful. |
|||
Wide eyed and hopefully wild. |
|||
We barely remember what came before this precious moment, |
|||
Choosing to be here right now. |
|||
Hold on, stay inside... |
|||
This body holding me, reminding me that I am not alone in |
|||
This body makes me feel eternal. All this pain is an illusion. |
