Wrapped up in warm and softness Sugar fed through the ears Silk smooth sweetness reaches the tongue All blindfolded throughout the years All blindfolded throughout the years If feels so good, it feels so nice Make the devil leave me alone It feel so good, it feels so nice Make the devil leave me alone And yes you planted the seed And does it bloom This chamber festered with weeds And i'm doomed Showered in rainbows and fine wine Honey sweet nectar devoured through the eyes Candy covered voodoo through the nose Diabetic dreams equals instant demise I want it / I love it I crave it / I live it I want it / I love it I crave it / I live Make the devil leave me alone Make the devil leave me alone Make the devil leave me alone Make the devil leave me alone And yes, you planted the seed And does it flower This noose is made up of weed And i'm doomed Knowledge is Satan Satan is knowledge And all that is true is a lie If your God is the truth Why is there so much misery The only truth we really know Is that we're here until we die If feels so good, it feels so nice Make the devil leave me alone It feel so good, it feels so nice Make the devil leave me alone I want it / I love it I crave it / I live it I want it / I love it I crave it / I live Make the devil leave me alone Make the devil leave me alone Make the devil leave me alone Make the devil leave me alone Make the devil leave me alone Make the devil leave me alone Make the devil leave me alone Make the devil leave me alone

Winterkill 03:07
Hands run clean along a floorboard's creak Splinters finding their way Moonlight assaulting windowpane Shadows scratching at glass to break Is this how it feels? Doors slamming shut Clock tick-tocking (x2) Seconds lasting as hours do Is this how it feels? Room closing in Corners creeping near How does one get out of here? Is this how it feels? Room closing in Corners creeping near How does one get out of here? Palms caress a coat of dust and corrosion Open deterioration Revenge is cold / Irony moldy And I got leftover's from yesterlife's amortization Winterkill... Winterkill... Is this how it feels? Doors slamming shut Clock tick-tocking Seconds lasting as hours do Is this how it feels? Room closing in Corners creeping near How does one get out of here?

Submissive on the floor for your beating Positioned on all fours for your feasting Your polluted wretch / Sheep in wolf hyde Deprecation / Castigation Your sacrifice / Your salvation Make a proper person out of me Take me / I'm here Tethered to the platter Take it / It's done Convoluted and contrived You're rotting Deprecation / Immmolation Absolution nein Make a proper person out of me Take me... Take me...

The Road 06:10
I'm here because I love you I'm here because I care I'm here to remind you Of what it is that you fear I know your conscience troubles you And I know your heart is heavy I will prove your goodness if you'll let me If you'll let me Road to redemption Taste for blood Road to redemption (Taste for) I am the word of God I am here to redeem myself You take your pitiful life for granted You do not abide by me You do not abide by me I'm here to prove your worth I'm here to save your soul I'm here to edify and to control Road to redemption Taste for blood Road to redemption Taste for blood Taste for blood...

Rosebleed 03:29
You took from me There used to be a light in this sky of mine Now everything is looking dim I can't believe how much a petaled head can mean to you My fallow garden bed They're screaming halos But i've got horns They're bleeding roses But I am thorns Soil bare / You come want Infertile seed in hand Aching to be sewn (no no no no no no no) Your desperation kills This garden bare And bitter earth spits back at you it laughs at you It's so cold And in this light your face is always the same They're screaming halos But i've got horns They're bleeding roses But I am thorns They're screaming halos But i've got horns They're bleedinbg roses But i am thorns

Weathered 03:31
There's such bad weather Hopes smear across the window Another 24 and still more of them to come Well it's been said Time and by and all neighboring again The baying wind reassures / I guess I'll step outside Loads of litter / Streets speaking sundried curses Air in uncomfortable hues of resent and regret Oh disguises galore all rust and corroded Links defined through mechanical drudgery Well it's been said It's been said Where has it gone?

My pretty & plastic porcelain doll Feign your substance to them all Sit upright in your proper place Portray love, style, and grace Let them think that you're full of light They fail to see that you're not right Your rosy cheeks so sweet and full Leads them away from the vestibule Where all little dolls alike are being maimed and torn To keep this secret from them you have sworn My pretty and plastic Porcelain doll My pretty & plastic porcelain doll I pray that you do not tip and fall The dust you've collected through your years Left heavy marks from your stream of tears Scratches and bruises not seen with the eye Permanent marks left until you die You want sweet petal kisses to claim But you don't take them 'cuz you're full of shame You sacrifice your life for everyone The weight crushing your skull is so profound My pretty and plastic Porcelain doll

The Hollow 03:10
I feel like Halloween I can't shake of this fix No matter how hard I try I'm feeling like Halloween Ooga-booga spooky eyed Horror movie tragedy Give me candy / I trick for treat Give me candy / I trick for treat I can't see myself in glass The ghouls and goblins in me drive me crazy I am creepy I am ambivalence A walking contradiction Being fake yet so non-fiction Give me candy / I trick for treat I'm feeling randy and bittersweet I am Halloween I am Halloween I am Halloween I am Halloween

about

Here is a 2nd collection of recordings made between the years '05-2011. While a few were used as a demo, none of these recordings were intended to be heard in this fashion. These were private recordings meant to scout potential bandmates, but as it turned out, most people weren't interested in playing nor supporting the type of music I was creating. The songs never sounded the way i wanted them to, thus, I kept them to myself for the past decade. This is their debut to the world in a sense.
