Goodbye World - At Death's Door (2021)

 

Goodbye World - At Death's Door Lyrics

1. 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

2. Fetch the Blade

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

3. Hacked to Pieces

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

4. Laugh Out Loud 

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?

5. Normal

talented artists

real bohemians

you must have been in your graves

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

6. I Must Be Destroyed

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

7. Effigy of Myself

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 another way

and another

and another

you simply can't conceive of

what I have in store for you

8. My Body Was Dead

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

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

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 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

11. At the Graveyard

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

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

arc flash

arc blast winds

vaporizing eyes

arc flash

arc blast wins

peeling away all

14. Abomination

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

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 exercise me

but I'll just possess him

then we'll be

together again
