Blood and Bone

|
Blood and bone
Out in the road
Stains and guts and flies
Mangled metal
Smoking engine
Staring frozen eyes
Curling, burning
Blackened skin
Burning flesh
Old guts
Twisted neck
A heart attack
On the drive
Home from work
Skinned alive
When car and bus collide

Fetch the Blade
01:04
|
|||
|
Dream of going
Outside
Afraid of all
That's there
Close the shade
My life's destroyed
Fetch the blade
Paranoid
In a highway motel
Weekly rental
Don't care
I keep seeing
My blood
Spraying Out
|

Hacked to Pieces
01:13
|
|||
|
Hacked to pieces
Found their body parts
All over town
Places you can’t imagine
There’s still two missing heads
You can hear them
crying to each other at night
Would you like to see
those heads?
I’ll drive you to them—
Straight over this cliff
Mid-air our lives will
Flash before us
Our best years
On display
Vivid memories in 3D
Some things
Will feel pleasant
While others will feel sad
So if you happen to be looking
Please pardon my embarrassment

Laugh Out Loud
00:47
|
|||
|
I was talking to myself
About the ruins of the world
That one in Peru, right?
Where children were sacrificed
Well it made me laugh out loud
And you asked why I was laughing
Then you wished you hadn't asked
Why was I laughing?
|

Normal
00:49
|
|||
|
Talented artists
Real bohemians
You must have been in your graves
and dug your way out
They were too many guests in my home
I thought you were....normal
Who knew I was capable of murder
I procured the pope’s skull
I reject your reality and substitute my own!
You say my mind is affecting my words
You’re wrong
It’s my words that are affecting my mind
I believe in everything which the brain is unable to prove
|

I Must Be Destroyed
00:35
|
|||
|
Why can’t they EVER leave me alone!
I’m stuck, yet they STILL make it difficult
See, I’m only a guest here
You say you need a reason?
A child’s logic is rewarding
I’m not who they loved
I am but a shell
Possessed and corrupted
To find peace I must be destroyed
How funny it’ll be
The moment I come back around
You’ll say that I’m dead
|
||||

Effigy
00:27
|
|||
|
This is your dissection
Forgive the intrusion
I’ll make a person
out of you yet
An effigy of myself
Inside your private hell
I shall never stop
Even if your surgery fails
I’ll cut in another way
And another
And another
You simply can’t conceive of
What I have in store
For you
|

My Body was Dead
00:17
|
|||
|
You don’t deserve me
But I deserve you
I deserve nothing better than you
In all this time my body was dead
But my soul remained
I heard the cock crow
Everything was magic
Until I understood it
|
||||
9. |
In Flames
00:37
|
|||
|
Gas and cleaning agents
Found in an abandoned school
In a mop bucket
Wheeled down
The sidewalk
Next to the place
Where you work
Next to that place
Lit and thrown
In flames
|
||||
10. |
Laid Out
00:52
|
|||
|
Life and I are virgins to each other
But I only use Christian names in bed
Laid out in this coffin I understand
Man as he is comprises two beings:
Man as he could be
Man as he would be
Both beyond good and evil
The unattainable Eve with her
apples and her snakes whispers
“the men who beg get nothing.”

At the Graveyard
00:28
|
|||
|
I buried a couple
Of important items
Near the tallest site
At the graveyard
I went back
With a shovel
Last week
I got so fucking
Mixed up
Unearthed something
I shouldn't have
Wanna see it?
|
||||
12. |
Invention
00:38
|
|||
|
I am the victim of everything!
My brain is in someone else’s body
But consider this:
Had not our cave-dwelling forebears
been given to invention
I would eat you for dinner
And use your bones
to club my next beloved
|
||||
13. |
Arc Blast
00:44
|
|||
|
Arc flash
Arc blast winds
Vaporizing eyes
Arc flash
Arc blast wins
Peeling away all
|

Abomination
00:47
|
|||
|
I am made of plastic
Thought nothing could hurt me
But, then you stabbed me
Hurt like hell, I even bled
I think I’m turning human
I dread I’ll have to live
The rest of my life like this
I am an abomination
|
||||
15. |
Within Walls
01:17
|
|||
|
So you’ve finally killed me
That wasn’t nice
I shall make this
A house unfit to live in
Within walls
Down the hall
Beneath floors
Behind doors
You’ll find me
Everywhere
I’m literally in heaven
Haunting you
Day and night
Some pink-cheeked
Seminarian
Will try to exorcise me
But I’ll just possess him
Then we’ll be
Together again

What a GREAT album! It has been a while since I found an album that I could listen to from beginning to end without skipping. Classic Ian MacKaye vocals. Amy Farina absolutely kills it on drums. I hadn't heard of Joe Lally on Bass, but really enjoyed his singing/bass. I highly advise checking this out. You'll get hooked. I love "Clean Kill" but "BQM" does it for me (love the beat). Congrats Coriky! Nicely done! Can't wait to see you live!!!

In terms of darkness and extremity we have reached a point here. There is a lot going on during this record but the theme of just utter fucking ugliness permeates. Beautifully grotesque. Great record.
