"Clay Man"


Get into this car
Get into this car
Bow your head down
Your flesh is soft
Your flesh is clay
Flesh is easy to shape
Flesh is easy to shape
Get into your cell
Get into your bed
Your flesh is soft
Your flesh is clay
Flesh is easy to shape
Flesh is easy to shape
Now you're a clay man

"Come Out"

"Come Out"


Come on, don't hide. I want you. I want you
So come on out, come on out, come on out
This is what you'll get, this is what you'll get,
I'll make it what you want. I'll make it what you want.
I'll make it what you want.
I'll use it on you, girl, I'll use it on you, girl,
So come on out, come on out, come on out,
I'll make sure I'll make sure I'll pull the trigger
Don't tell me I ain't got the right

"Cop"

"Cop"


The punishment fits the crime
Nothing beats humiliation
Humiliation's a disease
Nothing beats humiliation
Nothing beats them like a cop with a club
Nothing beats them like a cop in jail
Nobody beats your head in like a cop in a jail
Nobody hurts you like a cop with a club
Nobody rapes you like a cop with a club
Nobody beats your body like a cop in jail
Nobody burns their body like a cop
Nobody burns your skin off like a cop in jail
The heat hurts
Humiliation's a disease

Oh Jesus
You're my only god
If I kissed you I lied
You are mine only mine
You are mine only mine

The sex in your soul will damn you to hell

Now save your soul

"Eden Prison"

"Eden Prison"


Within the walls of Eden Prison,
There is a mark upon a stone.
And in this place a life was written,
And there a stain was laid where I was born.

Now moving through the roots of trees
Deep may their fingers reach,
The substance of a mind that feeds,
The bodies of the living stones that lead,
Up to become the walls of Eden prison.

The supine wild beast upon the slab,
Would gladly rip the throat from God if only he could reach up to his white ass.
And I, I am free and will never breathe again,
Within the greasy ochre walls of Eden prison.

The supine wild beast upon the slab,
Would gladly rip the throat from God if only he could reach up to his white ass,
and I, I am free and will never breathe again,
within the greasy ochre walls of Eden Prison,

I am free, I will begin again,
I am free, I will begin again,
I am free of the chocking hold that began in Eden prison.

We are free! We are free!
But the ships they sail a sea of glistening, turning crimson,
They are carrying a cargo to unload at Eden Prison

"Empathy"

"Empathy"


You were wrong to resist me
I was wrong to forgive
Now I loathe my own weakness
But you praise me for this

There's a place in your future
Where the wound will be healed
And the children you injured
Will rise up, purified, then kill your name

You're afraid of the mirror
So you crawl on the floor
Where you count your perversions
Then you rise up, filthy, with remorse
Uh huh huh
Uh huh huh
Uh huh huh
Uh
Uh
Uh
Uh

"Failure"

"Failure"


I, I've been lonely
And I, I've been blind
And I, I've learned nothing
So my hands are firmly tied
To the sinking leadweight of failure

I've worked hard all my life
Money slips through my hands
My face in the mirror tells me it's no surprise
That I'm pushing the stone up the hill of failure

They tempt me with violence
They punish me with ideals
And they crush me with an image of my life that's nothing but unreal
Except on the goddamned slaveship of failure

I'll drown here trying to get up for some air
But each time I think I breathe
I'm laid on with a double share
Of the punishing burden of failure

I don't deserve to be down here
But I'll never leave
And I've learned one thing
You can't escape the beast
In the null and void pit of failure

When I get my hands on some money
I'll kiss its green skin
And I'll ask its dirty face
"Where the hell have you been?"
"I am the fuel that fires the engine of failure"

I'll be old and broken down
I'll forget who and where I am
I'll be senile or forgotten
But I'll remember and understand
You can bank your hard-earned money on failure

I saw my father crying
I saw my mother break her hand on a wall that wouldn't weep
But that certainly held in
The mechanical moans of a dying man who was a failure

My back hurts me when I bend because I carry a load
My brain hurts me like a knife-hole
Because I've yet to be shown
How to pull myself out from the sucking quicksand of failure

Some people live in Hell
Many bastards succeed
But I, I've learned nothing
I can't even elegantly bleed
Out the poison blood of failure
