1.	Whore Heart 04:19	lyrics	buy track
She breathed in smoke And spit out her last chances in And spit out her last chances out Wrong turn turn wrong This dirty light she's bathed in She turned her filthy gaze to me These horrid thoughts turn round Turn never to right now With eyes made raw and hair like a burn I found myself mirrored in the heart of this whore Everything wrong Everything wrong Everything tastes like smoke Dead parts of me lust for you For the death in your every pore Death in every pore My lust for her Death in every pore Walk me to the small room Make me the king of this abattoir Walk me to the white walls Drunk on the taste and stench of hell Walk me to the altar Make me the groom to this whore bride Lie to me Give me the light between your legs The gift you have A bottom to hit Bow my head To wash my neck to slit my throat Slit my throat
2.	The Rats Wore Parasites 06:17	lyrics	buy track
Invade this place Spreading your pestilence Calamitous, bloodborne Damnable reprobates Hiding in shadows Tainting all that you touch Callous, hateful Villainous Languishing vermin No poison can quell Your very gaze A pathogen Expanding your nests, building an empire Finding new hosts to carry your sickness Feverish they spread your affliction Propogate, drive us away On the hill Perched like kings Fattened, contemptible Ever feasting Expanding your nests, building an empire Finding new hosts to carry your sickness Feverish they spread your affliction Propogate, drive us away Survival not granted, a plague is unleashed Words are a weapon, hatred a sieve Synapses built fall like Rome They are liars, we are fools (Let them in) Let them in (Let them in) The rats wore parasites (The rats wore parasites) Like a crown (Like a crown)
3.	Hiding in the Tall Grass 03:13	lyrics	buy track
To keep quiet He lived under the water And learned to breathe His shut down lifetime Sing a lie of a love song to consequence They knew it was ghostwritten Or stolen outright The sins alive Its burning There are divided bodies around your neck You were hiding in the tall grass Hiding in the tall grass Consumed and desperate The snake eats its own tail The sins alive Its burning There are divided bodies around your neck Sing your dead song to the sky
4.	The Withering Field 04:05	lyrics	buy track
His stomach is stone Built of revolt Flesh betrays And wastes away Languishing days (Slothful) Denial a road to the end Jaundicing skin (Waxen) Blood gone septic A terrible curse (Hunger) Growing inside Abyss in the eyes (Empty) Deepest waters He is the bearer of bad news (Palms outstretched) He is the withering field (Turning to dust) He is the prodigal son (Inheritance lost) Casting his pall His stomach is stone Built of revolt Flesh betrays And wastes away
5.	Owner and Owned 06:43	lyrics	buy track
Small That's what you look like to me We've no secrets left No indulgence for our tiny pains What do you see when you're clear? What do you think of yourself now? Where you fall Is where you lay Wreckage in the street The look, the shock, the numb The pain that made us crawl Your wretched self Reflected in the blood Your unmade self Emptied on the floor Dragging out Time keeps moving on The world's not turning The sky's gone dark Nothing lives, only hates Where you fall Is where you lay We're not who we were We take, we cripple In the mud the animals crawl Your wretched self Reflected in the blood Your wretched self Reflected in the blood I know what we are We are owner and owned
