touch of skin brings no excitement justs a vague sense of obligation not to stop clothes coming off this kiss just feeling numb shouldn't there be endorphins assigned this partner by the algorith isn't this what you wanted is this not what you've been starving for this is your validation a checkbox ticked to be able to say it's only been one day since my last fuck can't feel through this latex can't feel through this inebriation can't fell from just this anymore this is what men do

Homecoming 01:53
I like what you've done with the place Nightmares set here memories of confinement how the garden's changed since Such a shame we had to meet this way hands bound mouths gagged promise i won't shoot just wait another hour in the dark the sounds of the neighbourhood haunt this house just like the living must haunt those who have no breath left to breathe i've come home now come out and play with me show me that life is more than just concrete and emptiness

i'm an arrogant destroyer i'll take what i want come between me and my comfort i won't give it a single thought drunk and i'm stupid i'm horny and high i'll take a shit in your garden i don't care if it dies i'm an arrogant destroy and if i see you acting weird i'm gonna tell you all about it and make sure that i'm feared arrogant destroyer plastic runs in my veins and if you try to warn me i'll burn you at the stake you can't tell me shit i know everything there is worth knowing i will never quit until this whole world is fucking spent this whole world push you down take your life force you, hurt you traumatise i am only taking what is mine im an arrogant destroyer my kingdom is here my skin is made in sweatshops my voice the grind of gears i've got nothing but bug-eyed vigilant distain for anything that forces me to engage my syphillitic brain

narrative dissonance broke like a doorframe strike without warning black bag anonymous into the unmarked van brought before the blind ones down comes the gavel ten years, no trial some kind of criminal for cooling local tensions helping to keep the peace better than any police for brandishing a flag the starry plough held high trying to splint the wound capitalist alienation this is how we make you dissapear out of sight and out of mind graffiti on the wall the only record left they take anyone who steps outside the culling fields so we must never yield

I sent my message and you found it I come here from a corruption blackened time of greed where crystalline ontologies metastasised and suffocated life in unreality I learned a trick or two I will show you i will reach out and touch the sickly ones transform their willing flesh i know perfection seeing you and i together we can sculpt into a mirror the only truth we've ever known they will become like us legion of the obscene Artificial light this putrid consensus reality conforming to the camera eye our miracles undone in the vulgar gaze of the unworthy I am extinguished at last hall of fractured memories calling out to anyone beyond the void peering out from darkness see the hazy forms of my family and the gaze is off

about

SurgeryHead Ireland

A dark and dirty electrolike mutation forged from rusting wires and discarded circuitry.
A malformed creature raised on a diet of 1980s horror movies, industrial EBM and slick french electro, SurgeryHead is music that you can mosh too as easily as it'll make you shake that which your putrid mother cursed you with. ... more
