Break Yourself Against My Stones and Spit Pity Into My Soul

Posted on 2022/04/09 by Chad Philip

Snuff (track 11 from the All Hope is Gone LP by Slipknot )

Bury all your secrets in my skin
Come away with innocence and leave me with my sins
The air around me still feels like a cage
Love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage—again

If you love me let me go, and run away before I know
My heart is too dark to care
I can’t destroy what isn’t there
Deliver me unto my fate
If I’m alone I cannot hate
I don’t deserve to have you
My smile was taken long ago
If I can change, I hope I never know

I still press your letters to my lips and cherish them in the parts of me that savored every kiss
I couldn’t face a life without your light, but all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight

Save your breath, I will not hear
I think I made it very clear
You couldn’t hate enough for love—is that supposed to be enough?
I only wish you weren’t my friend then I could hurt you in the end
I never claimed to be a saint
My own was banished long ago
It took the death of hope to let you go

Break yourself against my stones and spit pity into my soul
You never needed any help
You sold me out to save yourself
And I won’t listen to your shame
You ran away—you’re all the same
Angels lie to keep control
My love was punished long ago
If you still care, don’t ever let me know

Poisoning Their Brainwashed Minds

Posted on 2022/01/06 by Chad Philip

War Pigs (track 01 from the Paranoid LP by Black Sabbath )

Generals gathered in their masses just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction: the sorcerer of Death’s construction
In the fields are bodies burning as the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind—poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh Lord!

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why shouldn’t they go out to fight?
Leave that role to the poor

Time will tell on their power-mad minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait until their judgment day comes

Now in darkness the world stops turning
With ashes where there were bodies burning
No more War Pigs have the power
The hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgment, God is calling
On their knees the War Pigs are crawling and begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
Oh Lord!

We Limped Away from the Wreck

Lab Monkey (track 06 from The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here LP by Alice in Chains )

Is there anybody out there?
Anyone at all?
Can you finally hear this deep?
I’ve been scratching through the wall

You came far to find me, down a rabbit’s hole
Now watch me smiling back while chewing on its skull

I know and won’t forget
We limped away from the wreck

Is the monkey breathing?
It’s looking kind of sick
You got a witty comment for me? Have yourself a kick

Does it make you feel good?
Are you full, and strong?
You’re gonna end up in this cage and I hope your stay is long

I know and won’t forget
We limped away from the wreck

We’ll never know what it is until we take a look inside
I’m sure we’ll find what came, before this dies
We’ll never know what it is until we take a look inside
I’m sure we’ll find what came before

I’ve had enough—I don’t need you to stick my hide
I’ve had enough—there are no more tears for me left to cry
I’ve had enough—I don’t need you to blind my eyes
I’ve had enough—there are no more tears for me left to cry

I know and won’t forget
We limped away from the wreck

We’ll never know what it is until we take a look inside
I’m sure we’ll find what came, before this dies
We’ll never know what it is until we take a look inside
I’m sure we’ll find what came before

I’ve had enough—I don’t need you to stick my hide
I’ve had enough—there are no more tears for me left to cry
I’ve had enough—I don’t need you to blind my eyes
I’ve had enough—there are no more tears for me left to cry

We Are Will and Wonder

Pneuma (track 02 from the Fear Innoculum LP by Tool )

We are spirit bound to this flesh
We go around with one foot nailed down, but are bound to reach out and beyond this flesh
Become pneuma

We are will and wonder
Bound to recall and remember
We are born of one breath and one word
We are all one spark… the sun… becoming

Child, wake up
Child, release the light
Wake up now, child—wake up!
Child, release the light
Wake up now, child
Spirit

We are bound to this flesh—this guise, this mask, this dream
Wake up and remember
We are born of one breath and one word
We are all of one spark… the sun… becoming

Pneuma
Reach out and beyond
Wake up and remember
We are born of one breath and one word
We are all of one spark with eyes full of wonder
