Soundtracks for the Blind

I Was a Prisoner in Your Skull
"Testing...one, two, three. Well...well fuck, I mean; I just don't know what to say. I'm very glad to be here with you tonight, I'll be able to talk to you about some things...that I know a great deal about. Everyone knows that you are fucked up. And everyone knows that I am fucked up. But, does everyone know that you are more fucked up than me? Well, I know that. And you know that. But our purpose is to tell everyone that. Take for instance, the time you went to the bathroom, to take a shower. You had some soap, a towel, shampoo, washcloth, a brush, everything was set. But you had to call me to come turn on the water for you. You didn't know where or how. That is one instance of how fucked up you are. A second instance of how fucked up your are: You was going to cook you some breakfast. Well you went in there, and put some toast in the toaster, put a skillet on the stove, put some grease in it. You got you some eggs out, some bacon. Poured you some orange juice and some coffee. Got some jelly and some butter. Fried eggs, salt, pepper, got some bacon on the grill. Everything was fine - except for one thing. You had to call in there...to show you how to use a fork. Now a third instance; the way you're fucked up. You got dressed, ready to go to school. Everything was fine - got outside, got in your car. Key in the ignition. Except for one thing. You had to call me to come show you-"

Volcano
Your lipstick smear across your face Now toss your hair in dirty grace Pink leather strap on your guitar Now spread your legs - how bright you are Mmmmmm They all know your name Collie, claw your way to fame... There's a star in her eyes and she knows it There's a star in her mind yeah she shows it There's a star in her eyes and she knows it A star in her mind yeah she grows it... And every evening the sun comes up when she goes down And every evening the mud fills up her bridal gown The little girl inside of you Has made her dreams come true And tonight you take the stage You wear a dress of blood and lace You left a stain where you have kneeled But collie, you're still invisible... Your lipstick smear across your face Now toss your hair in dirty grace Pink leather, strap on your guitar Now spread your legs just like a star... And I'd like to eat her breasts and know god And I'd like to taste her flesh and grow hard And I'd like to eat her breasts and grow god And I'd like to suck her breath and blow hot...

All Lined Up
I see them all lined up Like naked children at the wall Their skin is hanging off in sheets Each face is painted like a whore Their blood is shining in the sun Their wounds are powdered with white salt Their lips are shaping silent words: I see my name as it spills out I see them walking on their knees Led in a chain by laughing girls I see them sucking on the dirt As if inhaling the whole world And one by one their throats are cut And each one sings his choking song And each one sings his lullaby And each one falls and then he's gone And I feel good Yeah I feel fine And I feel good: I've been waiting far too long... I see their bodies in the pyre Leaking black smoke into the flames And all the people stand around Shaping lips into my name And soon the sun begins to sink Behind a wall of dirty air I see their bones there in the pile And taste the smell of burning hair And all the children howl for milk The rain spits down a million knives I see you running through the field I see you running for your useless life I feel you choking on your tongue I feel your breath attack your chest The dogs are ripping at your feet I see you bleeding out your happiness And I feel good Yeah I feel fine And I feel good: I finally got back what was always Rightfully mine==Surrogate 2==

Animus
Somewhere, through the frozen fields Somewhere, beneath your pale and tender skin Lies a house, absorbing fear and pain Solar, red, contained Feeding on my dreams Somewhere cold, inside the optic wire Down where fingers and semen crack and bleed There I will be, with my arms spread out and broken Waiting for your breath, to animate my veins We're not alone: all our thoughts are numbered Malignant and cold Animal and hungry But I will contain all That ever was or will be Then I'll watch my skin erupt In a symphony of flames Screaming out your name Screaming out your name... Why can't I hide inside your malleable Electric face? you'd suck away the pain And swallow down my sickest dreams Now my body feels like snow Spilling out the shattered screen Where will we be then When all the fear and blood are gone Drained into one hundred million open children's mouths Screaming out your name Screaming out your name...==Red Velvet Wound==

And what do I do With the gift you present to me The one no one else would buy? They would not accept the filthy premise of your most terrible innocence So let them say How you were wild For what you really were was tender Yes how you screamed All through the night Yet silent tears streamed down through morning light Most beautiful My lonely sinner

The Sound
And wide are your delusions, Deep red is the space behind your eyes, Closed forever is the door to your room, But inside there lives the sound, You despise, but I love... Mother, I was wrong. I am wrong...==Hypogirl==

Can I steal your mind? And can I crawl down inside? And when I am your child, Can I feed in your eye? And can I drink the air, Down in your cold black lung? And can I breathe the sweet, Sick and lonesome blood? Love is everywhere. No, we will never escape. I love you more than my life. No, we will never escape... Can I cut out the core, And steal the food in your head, And curl my body inside, Down where it's dark and it's wet? I love you more than your life. I love your body and mind. I love you more than your life. No, we will never escape.

Minus Something
"There's been alot of upsetting, very upsetting things that I can't allow to happen anymore. I have to be like a soldier and march away. 'Cause I'm very delicate in a lot of ways, and things get to me, and effect me...in a very adverse manner. I don't need that; don't need that. I feel now like minus something, you know, I feel faded; I don't feel like I'm all here. I think it'll come back; I hope it'll come back. There's alot of color missing, from the way I feel, and my face, and, you know, just everything. There's some kind of zest, or...life, you know, that seems to be faded temporarily, because I've been so drained, emotionally, by a number of things. That has to slowly build back up, and then it has to be kept sustatined; it cannot be allowed to be diminished."

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... ==YRP== I give you money, you're superior. I don't exist: You control me. You're corrupt, you're deformed, you're corrupt. You control me. Own me, own me, own me, own me: I'm your property. You're corrupt, you're deformed. You corrupt, you deform me. Own me, own me, own me, own me: I'm your property.

The Final Sacrifice
Oh Jesus, oh Jesus, you're my only god. Oh Jesus, oh Jesus, you're my only girl. I follow you now. I'll follow you down, To a dirty black room, Where the air is gone. I'll lie down on the table, And I'll wait for you, To step inside me now. Step inside me now. Come on, come on in. Oh Jesus Christ, you're my only, my only god... If I drink your blood, I will be like you. Girl, I want to be like you. I'll look into your eyes, And close my mind. Get out of my mind. Get out of my head. Oh Jesus, oh Jesus, you're my only god...
