Devil's Ink
03:07

Lay me down
Beneath the trees
Ain't no righteous God
Gonna shed his light on me
Abysmal font
Which wrote my life
Its ink pumps through my veins
And blackens out my mind
Devil's ink
Covers me
Tattoo all my sins
For everyone to see
Scripture for
Eternity
I'll be waiting here
When the Devil comes for me
Beat me down
Endlessly
I can taste my blood
And it colors all I see
Book of Job
Got nothin' on me
Sinners call my name
But nothin' comes for free
Devil's ink
Covers me
Tattoo all my sins
For everyone to see
Scripture for
Eternity
I'll be waiting here
When the Devil comes for me

Candy canes and razor blades
Nice things for little girls
A young boy whose heart contains
All the sad things in this world
Vanities are spoken
In a short familiar game
Love was meant to be stolen
At the point of a blade
Love was meant to be stolen
At the point of a blade
At the point of a blade
Tragically beautiful
Dressed just like a doll
At times so very cute
Others so very droll
Existential affliction
Revel in your woes
Sub-Cultural addiction
Clinically disposed to pain
Clinically disposed
To Pain
To pain

Heaven's Kiss
03:11
|

Once you feel it break the skin
Let me know and I'll begin
Take this belt and don't let go
In a second they'll be gone
Feel the rise of heaven's kiss
All I've lost seems like it's less
And I'll crawl back to your hole
My veins up
I hear them call
You were never here
In our secret place
To bathe inside your fear
As the screams come 'round again
This I know I should expect
And just waitin' by the door
Here to buy back what you sold
For one moment in your bliss
The ability to rest
And I'll crawl back to your hold
My blood pools
I hear them call
You were never here
In our secret place
To bathe inside your fear
Make that same mistake
And I cannot seem to care
As the angels sign
Devour all your tears
All my masks are my defense
That's the cost of things repressed
So just take this as you're told
Fill that medicated hold
Now I've found that place again
Deep inside I am still dead
And I'll crawl back to your hole
My veins pull
I hear them call

I've Got My Ways
04:30
|

|
It's cold outside
There's orange in the leaves
Just got home
Hastily drop my keys
And it's straight to the baggie I'll go
To indulge in this sin one more time
And know
I've got my ways
Ways
And I'm takin' and I'm takin' and I'm takin'
Ways
Just what did you expect of me?
Yeah I'm high as a kite as you can see
And it's straight to the baggie I'll go
To indulge in this sin one more time
And know
I've got my ways
Ways
And I'm takin' and I'm takin' and I'm takin'
Ways

If you're gonna scream, scream with me
Moments like this never last
When new creatures rape your face
Hybrids opened up the door
Ooh, baby, when you cry your face is momentary
You hide your looks behind these scars
In hybrid moments
Give me a moment
Give me a moment
Give me a moment
Ooh baby when you cry your face is momentary
You hide your looks behind these scars
In hybrid moments
In hybrid moments
In hybrid moments
In hybrid moments
Give me a moment
Give me a moment

Devil In The Rearview
04:04
|

|
There is no place
That I call home
Just a drifting shadow
Of flesh and bone
The devil in the rearview
Oh he calls my name
And if you let go my darling
I will surely
Fade away
Another day
Another thorn
Another glimpse of
What is in store
I can understand
That this is fate
But that doesn't mean
I want it this way
There is no place
That I call home
Just a drifting shadow
Of flesh and bone
The devil in the rearview
Oh he calls my name
And if you let go my darling
I will surely
Fade away

Rock 'N Roll Dracula

Got my death mask on
I cruise the back beat
Goin' for a ride tonight
Gonna sink my fangs so deep
I play for keeps
I play for keeps
I play for keeps
I stalk these city streets lookin' for a bite
I stalk these city streets searchin' all night
For that perfect one
With an angel's soul
Just don't come cryin' to me
When the Devil takes hold
Bleed them all
To feed the strong

White hot
Flames rise
A mother screams
Her baby cries
Til the dawn
They'll suffer through
And bare witness
What we came to do
A righteous cleansing
What it needs
What you've sown
So you shall reap
Gonna raze this town
Until it's gone
So grab some gasoline
And sing along
Oh, the city's burnin' down tonight
So say goodbye
See the smoke
Breathe it in
Til all you taste
Is burnin' skin
Turned to ash
In the blink of an eye
This raging fire
Reaches into the sky
Entire life
Was in vain
Only thing
Left for me to say
Society's rotten
Nothin' left to redeem
Now let me show you
Just what I mean
