Boogeyman 02:40

Are you sleeping Are you weeping The walls are seeping Doorless for safekeeping Warning bells are ringing Not your upbringing? Mine has me singing Like a violin unstringing I’m outside swinging I’m still clinging Like I was gunslinging Get up Yup Your fucking life Is through like a knife Open wide Tongue is tied Yet you lied Love yourself from another side You hide Autumn died Where does time Fly By It’s a crime I cry Wave a decade goodbye There’s no sign Of a wake up call Come one come all The girl who climbs the wall In her head Trapped in her bed Where do you go little red When you’re dead But alive instead I said get up Your life is fucked And you never get fucked For sleeping through self destruct No strings on the violin you plucked Deconstruct Get up get up The bell is from hell And you damn well Have been So don’t go back again Because the longer you wait To choose your fate The more late You are to a party of 8 Balls When you can’t see straight The bell the bell the bell Get up out of your cell For a shotgun shell Ding ding ding What you gonna bring To a fight outside the ring Cause no it’s not fair But you know where The end begins And who wins And it’s not you But you follow through And that’s how it ends Loser will lose until she contends So are you sleeping Are you watchkeeping Get the fuck up You fuck up Shut up It’s sun up And you’re just up Dust up On getting roughed up Because they cut up When you get scuff up Now is the come up Rise and shine Get your carbine Millimeter number 9 Shoot the gas line Darkness is where you shine Ich lein Ich wein Ich pein We can all go down just fine

Bloodsucking Dumb fucking But coming Blood gushing Blood rushing From running Done nothing Just cutting Off flooding Of those judging Im begrudging Distrusting You’re thumb sucking I’m blushing I’m loving The target on your head You’re bled You’re dead I’m red Night welcomes me instead You tread blindly instead and are lead unsaid by light ahead that don’t spread get in bed no shred of undead I’m unfed I take the life out Bite out Died out Light out Cried out Tried to pry out I feed off of the weak Who speak of a freak in critique I am a villain unique on a streak you are meek I use you for what your worth I burn down in a church I am in search Of a hurt not inert or obvert But to convert You from dirt To one who will controvert I disconcert Cut you short You’re a good bloodsport Not a sort I am life support I am your first and last resort I am the new Marilyn Manson True you have no chance in Prancin Out that door whore No queen age seventeen dancin You can be a stand in And have a glance in But you’re mine now Hope you don’t mind now This is the other side now There was no light anyhow How does it feel To be real This is how you heal The others squeal Parts of a cogwheel Steal the appeal the zeal the meal Of never kneel Never kneel Come to the side without any light It’s alright I am the darkness of the night Yet you’re blind and I have sight You live like from a satellite I feed off of your black and white Eternal life is a fight

Campfire Story 02:18

Story time by the campfire ya’ll It was meant for night like this in fall Years ago in this here forest I recall A young girl with a southern drawl Disappearing once and for all Rumor is she got taken away By a man whose name I dare not say He keeps them in a cage they say Rumor is he likes to prey On young women like you who stray They always search and get the hound One day they happened to head southbound They found a house after hearing a sound The girls had set a black magic curse around Turns out they never wanted to be found

Am I here or obsolete Sex drugs money repeat I ruin the women I meet I’m a game that they can’t beat Fuck and watch the retreat The strong won’t carry the weak You were never part of the link I got here because all of us cheat I lie down again in the street Back from the dead, back on my feet Pontius pilate dare not speak Inherit the earth before the meek The dream sequence reveal This isn’t real this isn’t real Life lost its appeal A wound that doesn’t heal Childhood was blank like the face Flashback now to a vacant space I was glad got a taste Silver spoon was a change of pace I put the demons in their place Threw a stone first just in case I saw red again when I was raped Fucked again by god’s loving grace I opened up and became the rage I’d like to think it made me this way Fucking killed them all Burn then fall I brawl They had written on the wall Oh no not small Not small you crawl You call Out Fallout I draw out My words Who overturns And disturbs Those who kick to curbs One swing at the jugular Red is your true color Goodbye to you fucker Butterflies flutter No loss cutter Switchblades, not a mutter Would you like another Knuckle duster Not lackluster A mistruster Combuster This is a fuckin blockbuster

Devil devil devil 6 6 6 crucifix Three onto me Be onto thee Please let me free An angel dies Oh my eyes Roll back, room black Is it wise To counterattack Run Not one gun Would get me out Of me Bullet in my head No better dead No soul to swallow the lead No, inside I cannot hide I am hands tied I am alive Or I died They take the other side They give up, horrified Ruled a suicide Who am I Who are you to my Mind Get me through this time Through the other side Or otherwise Girl never knelt to pray Now she sees the day When the prayers won’t sway Sweat at church on Sunday Holy water Holy altar Holy martyr Holy father Satan fucks And I come Oh god I am numb Speak to me in tongues Don’t speak with your tongue I seduced a nun Dumb fuck or fucked dumb Fuck me harder and then some Christ can’t compel Take me to hell Again And again Until I’m an unforgivable sin Make yourself at home I’m a whore and I’ve known Possessed and mind blown Oh again I moan I became god awed by how flawed they were abroad Laugh because I am my own I take the throne They never got inside you see They just let my jailer free My mind is a mine not of gold but of shine and a gas line Shiny shiny almighty year 49 Now we all worship a dead end sign How easy it is to turn away From the light they see they say Turn them toward a fire they stray How easy it is day by day They forget to pray For taking it their way Let me show you the real light Evil is defining what’s right And don’t fright Like you can’t sleep at night 6 6 6 is a fix The new lucky number Herr Bible thumper 7 go to heaven That’s drab as all get out Why don’t you let out And set out To levitate above What is it you love Not this life Sylvia Plath strife Sitting in church never to thrive In church where they deprive Waiting for death to arrive Let me compel you back alive Im not afraid The demon in me made a trade For as long as it stayed I okayed It I Obeyed It fit Like you sit Up in the bed Of lies When your mind cries For something else Other than yourself They tied me to my bed Screamed at it instead My eyes went red They fled Kill her dead Bring every priest in the southeast And their eyes will feast On a beast, at least A demon that satan released Devil devil devil You’re not on my level

Welcome inside, please stay The other guests ran away Come inside, it’s a rainy day An old house but dear anyway The piano begins to play Who’s there I cannot say There is a room with no doors The darkness is all yours My friends and I used to drink tea In a circle criss cross carefree We roamed as far as you could see Then the voices came to be They said if you hear them why can’t we Then they never came back for me Can you hear the voices too I am haunted and don’t know what to do Why does she say these things is it true Am I better off dead or can I come to Burn this house they’ll never know who Burn me with it is all I ask of you

Black magic Fast addict Back at it Laugh tragic She knows how the game goes stay on your toes joe blows, Fire crackles shackles shake what’s at stake Hail satan who? I’m leaden with you Live evil love evil too Much ado About the doubt of the route I made for the ace of spade I’m not afraid i weighed I strayed I betrayed now I’ve played And here we are beneath a star in the wood and if you could you’d wear a red hood but child the wolf made her wild and she’s exiled and unreconciled She belongs on my side potion ocean wide Hair of the boy who cried Toenail of the blue eyed And what will become, of the sum, I hum, so young, youngest’s tongue, or be hung, I am a villain unsung, I have an iron lung So I bring you here tonight, not to fright or delight or fight I bring you here because the sorceress draws near an I fear she’s got a burning in her ear and we’re not going to steer to be her peer this year, so I need you all to sacrifice dear Voodou sorceress (Haiti, Haiti) waved goodbye A smile on her face and a twinkle in her eye Why Oh why The more I try I fly too high the sky, bone dry, am I what my dreams cry bullseye knot tie goodbye I didn’t get a trial for a while I’ll smile walk a mile in my shoes and choose whose views are a ruse and accuse they refuse light a fuse black tattoos they can’t defuse make the news still I lose Back to black, crack on the track and I pack up to be an amnesiac but the slack can’t be picked up I’ve had enough of this luck what the fuck I’m stuck and cursed in the worst I’m first to the hearse lost in this verse God don’t give me a sign give me what’s mine and a nine and I’ll be fine i incline those who stole my shine to get a broken nose and get in line to get in line You can fuck off a smidge and go live under a bride and I hope one day you’ll say it wasn’t ok but that day will never come the numb in me is done and you’re a dumb fuck who’ll be fucked dumb once I get out of this hex the sorceress says you’re next What of doom Don’t exhume Skeletons from a closet with a broom This is no costume I’m in the dressing room Smoking and I fume I don’t fly no newt’s eye But you’re gonna die

Meet My Maker 02:57

No genius brought me to life I’m a child with a matchbox and a housewife with a knife Am I dead cause I’m not alive No doctor can prescribe He’s my maker, me? you can’t describe You can’t experiment on me I’m an empiricist you see A lyricist er schwierig ist (he is difficult) Wer ich ist (who am I) I’m A high priestess with Psychokinesis you get Diaphoresis when My genius Leaves you speechless I am dreamless You are sleepless I am seamless You are needless I am heedless Sweet Jesus Just between us You can’t put me in a box with no locks I light it up, this is the equinox You’re a gun that never cocks I put the tic in the hands of clocks I draw the fault line you feel the aftershocks You scared I’m about to blow off your socks This ain’t no mash Or bash It’s a party to car crash You gettin whiplash I am not who I am what I am silent enough to cut So keep your fuckin mind shut I was made in a scrapyard I am carved like with a shard My mind is hard Welded together and charred Queen Black heart At large The best for last card Not birthmarked, scarred I became the bar and went unbarred My jailer, my guardian guard Meet my maker, jumpstart I am a work of art You are encircled by the way I outsmart I have no brain and tell Descartes I have no mind with no counterpart The experiment went wrong I made a song that didn’t belong in a text because it read who’s next and had a black magic hex I am too complex to feel the effects of fear of death when you can’t keep checks on my imbalance when I vex and you break your necks trying to tame the rejects when you should be paying your respects because I expect That as the subject You’ll finally detect That I am the cause and the effect Your assumption was incorrect My maker was a god I killed The jailer whose shoes I filled I am not a character that can be portrayed I have no detonator; I am a grenade My memory is only anterograde I feel my former self completely fade I was born defective but to persuade An uprising that would only cascade So go on and be afraid But not because of how I was made Or how I came to life after being swayed But because I took my heart out with a blade And said this is how the game is played

Out of the tomb Doom You exhume My diamonds Herr kleinen Heirloom Meine steinen For you New Horizons Meet Osiris Maybe A virus Aren’t you desirous Red as an iris Cleopatra ain’t got shit on me Lost the war and mark Antony No queen needs a man to let her free I’m a queen who doesn’t know how to flee They cast a spell Opened my mouth so I’d tell Lies that did outsmart They cut out and weighed my heart It was black and had fallen apart So I killed them all before they killed me Now I am the ruler of the afterlife see? All hail the fucking queen I got drip like you’ve never seen If I were you I wouldn’t intervene You don’t even know the fuck I mean Ye gonna put the pussy in the sarcophagus I’ve been there and it bears no populace If anything there is somnolence I’m a goddess got godlessness I’m synonymous with ominous and dominance Prophetess not needing a hypothesis To see opulence You’re an anonymous with inconsequence My stream of consciousness Is genius and bottomless Me? I put the pussy in the temple The gods live there so maybe it’s sinful But she called to them so that’s my signal My body is a temple call that a symbol Not my fault that she’s nymphal And to me this shit is simple You let me out now you’re cursed And whatever you think it’s much worse So on account of not letting me be First you die and then see to me

about

This is a Halloween album! I sing, I rap, I play cello, I play metal guitar. There is no genre. Some of them, like "Possessed," are sort of disturbing. Others are stupid, like "Clown Massacre." 3-6 is the freak show. To quote that song, "it's a shitshow all around."
