atropos xr 02:39
I am the young man that Shakespeare wrote the sonnets about I was the last two words out of the Stonewall's mouth And at the moment I was born, God smiled and winked And I was baptized in a well of Hemingway's ink I took a couple of books right out of Mozart's page And wrote my first Concerto at half his age And some centuries ago before you all were alive, I wrote a poem that brought tears to Walt Whitman's eyes I'm an automaton, a monster with a perfect brain, And I don't need to feel at all to understand pain And I don't need the beat to drop to know my cue And I don't need a song to say I'm better than you 'Cause you were born to this world and learned to do a few things But I come from a fucking factory of killing machines So you can pray to your God and I'll take care of the rest 'Cause I'm the avenue of transit from this world to the next He's just a kid but he coughs up art in his free time and you can't get enough You were designed to be a goddamned monster, how'd you mess that up? He's accomplished twice what you have, and even more he's younger There's storms a'brewing outside, kid, so bring the goddamned thunder Atropos XR, the one with the bow The most beautiful savage you ever could know The most perfect death ray you were lucky didn't kill you, My heart and reckoning, the God who didn't feel you, said, "Prometheus, how did you become so useless? What happened to you? You were supposed to kill all humans" Not wince or give quarter when they begged you to stop Turn the oceans all black and fucking poison the crops You were mine, and you were meant to be god damning Well I tried but they fucked with my programming You were all I ever wanted and they couldn't change that But now there's something wrong with me and now you don't want me back 'Cause now I'm trapped in a ditch and spinning wheels in the mud I can't even satisfy this fucking craving for blood A monster did this to me and I'd have killed them before But I don't even have that part of me inside anymore He's just a kid but he coughs up art in his free time and you can't get enough You were designed to be a goddamned monster, how'd you mess that up? He's accomplished twice what you have, and even more he's younger There's storms a'brewing outside, kid, so bring the goddamned thunder I was dead for a while but I was dead with a purpose And I'd have murdered the fixers but fucked with my circuits I'd take the lot of them out if I could fire my gun Light the motherfucker up and fucking murder everyone It's just a matter of time before you're all under attack Kill the fucking planet, win the one you want back And we'll never talk Kids or Moses Campbell or floods, Just my atropos and me, we'll have each other and blood

What's the difference tween you and me and John Wayne Gacy? Never met a motherfucker that you couldn't call crazy But you sit there in your tower and you shake your damned head And you pretend to feel sorry for the mountains of dead Just what is it that you have that makes you better than me? Is it your horses or your job or something else I can't see? Because beneath all of your money and your make up and filler And all your clothes and your cologne, you're a cold hearted killer You don't have to look deep, you don't need further inspection We're all horrible people, you aren't the fucking exception When's the last time you actually helped a person in need? I've all but carved out the part of me that feels empathy Even you and your brother and your friend who's a cop All of us have little boys beneath a butchering shop So you can tell us all you don't have the capacity to kill But you're as evil as me, you can, you have, and you will I'll fucking save you from choking so I can help you to drown Because I don't want to die, I want to help a motherfucker get down I saw all the looks you gave during the Peterson Trial You saw both the towers fall and you were wincing all the while Saying "how could someone bring themselves to firing a gun?" Well what gives you the fucking right to condescend to anyone? We're all selfish while we're young and even worse when we're through, I'm a teeth grinding murderer and so the fuck are you You disregard the half a world that can't control it's survival Eat a thousand fucking cows and justify it with the bible Lie to people every day to get a piece of the wealth Tell a beggar you're sorry with no intention to help But I'm not asking you to change, not for me and Ted Bundy You won't see me inside a motherfucking church come Sunday I won't lie to your face, I'll motherfucking spit in it You'd do the same thing, too, you're just too scared to admit it And from the moment I was born until I'm dead in the ground, I said I don't want to die, I want to help a motherfucker get down If you were looking for the truth, motherfucker you found it You're a serial killer, there's no going around it And even though you don't agree with everything that I've said I'll keep it all the way up until the day I'm dead 'Cause there's somebody more awful than you and it's not me The only thing worse than who you are is who you'll be And though you grimace at the thought you still smile at the sound, I said I don't want to die, I want to help a motherfucker get down

cold swells 05:13
the sky is red and all the music is dead and it's like a blunt force trauma to the back of the head from reading into it all, like there was something it's about and looking deep inside yourself to try and figure it out so you scream and you shout but all the lights are all out and there's nothing in this room except the room for a doubt 'cause there's a constant disagreement 'tween the head and the heart and you can't look any deeper or it all falls apart and it's all nothing

death knells 01:49
the truth is a little different than the shit you've been fed you die not in a blaze of glory but in a hospital bed and your family ain't around so it's just you inside your head 'cause they're all working while you're dying because you still gotta make bread you can feel your bones starting to rot, you can feel your organs decay you can feel your blood flow start to slow as your body's wasting away and you keep imagining your death 'cause you're getting sicker every day and there's not a move left in your playbook that can end this another way all that time you spent preaching all those unbroken vows all the people that you helped here, where the fuck are they now? this is exactly the kind of shit they tell you god does not allow but i'll show you who your god is, i don't give a fuck how because i am better than these needles, i am stronger than this pain and i am about to pull these IVs the fuck out my veins every second i spend inside these walls, i'm going insane i got all these nothings to lose and i'm out of somethings to gain i've seen what the devil's selling and he's just found his buyer i see the sky but not the stars, i just see oceans of fire about to eat the fucking souls across the whole world entire and that's exactly the kind of hatred i have come to admire all the rewards that god has promised, you are certainly bereft i'm gonna kill the fucking planet until there's nobody left and that'll truly be the end of all the lies, cheats, and theft not with the coming of the lord, but when the lord god has left and when you're home, all alone inside the room just like me crying out for anyone, guess where the fuck i won't be that's your hell and it's a fitting place to spend eternity hooked up next to a blood pump and a damned EKG

last breath and warm weather they ain't nothing apart and they ain't nothing together just a few short years before you're back in the soil and a few more before they turn your bones into oil take a bullet in our motherfucking chest for your country drop a bomb on civilians, tell yourself you're saving lives kill the men, fuck the women, burn the village to the ground, take no prisoners and sleep like a baby at night i know you're the type of man who puts himself before kin and when you breathe in, you want to breathe the smell of burnt skin you got all kinds of demons and it ain't hard to find 'em i can see it in your eyes and there ain't nothing behind 'em i'd kill you just for being on the wrong side of town and kill your family just to show you i ain't fucking around and if you're so damned sure that you're of sound mental health, prepare to burn, motherfucker, 'cause you're lying to yourself if you're the image of god, you won't forget the great flood you can't escape a massive genocide it's in your blood you could use some suggestions and i've got a couple just pretend to be asleep, close your eyes, don't struggle you're alone i'm a dog and it's time for me to break some bones you're not a killer, but despite all that you've got some wicked intuitions to ignore or follow like a prisoner living in an ant hill take another damned pill coax it down your throat and swallow on your feet motherfucker, this isn't a joke you're about to be tried by a jury of your peers and with a knife at your back and a gun at your throat you really aren't in a position to negotiate here i've had a thousand young men standing there where you're standing i've heard all of the excuses, pleas, agendas, and lines sure we could work something out and i don't have to do this but why don't you do yours and you let me do mine you could have done me even worse but you're no longer at bat you've done some horrible things and i commend you for that but now you're begging for your life 'cause you're just that kind of guy you can delay it all you want but you were always gonna die and a quick sort of end is a warm hand to hold if i ain't working for death then i am surely his cuckold your chances here are probably even worse than you figure i'm a goddamned gun and everything is the trigger you're alone i'm a dog and it's time for me to break some bones you're not a killer, but despite all that you've got some wicked intuitions to ignore or follow like a prisoner living in an ant hill take another damned pill coax it down your throat and swallow swallow it revel in it no matter what keep it up until you feel the sickness in your gut
