Track 1
Predecessor (Feat. Kevin Max)
He doesn’t care much for the blood
But he knows it’s the best way to keep things the way they are
She really just wanted the love
But instead made a trade so death wouldn’t leave it’s mark
Blame all on curses
Then drain dry the masses
They’re damned just for who they are
Pull tight the curtain
Don’t dare let the world in
They’re chasing the Morningstar
Cover the wound
Feed the dogma
Devour the souls
Defend the blood oath
Have you met The Family?
Have you met The Family?
They’ve never known anything else
Excuse taking a life, call it fueling eternity
Stare at faceless mirrors
The image gets clearer
Sinners with a destiny
You might reconsider
Who you call a killer
They’re just after the ecstasy
Cover the wound
Feed the dogma
Devour the souls
Defend the blood oath
Have you met The Family?
Have you met The Family?
Have you met The Family?
They’re chasing the Morningstar
Chasing the Morningstar
They’re chasing the Morningstar
(Repeat)
Track 2
Progeny I
You who gave me life
Painted me as a cold dead winter
You can stick a knife
But I’ll take it like a tiny sliver
Aren’t I terrifying?
The way I show no feelings
Does my numbness scare you?
The way I need no healing
Look at my face it’s your creation
Do you not know the devil you’re raising?
Created blind but commanded to see
I’m the villain that you wanted me to be
Scared you with a mirror
Of your deepest, darkest habits
And now it’s my name that comes up next to threats of witchcraft
Aren’t I terrifying?
The way I show no feelings
Does my numbness scare you?
The way I need no healing
Look at my face it’s your creation
Do you not know the devil you’re raising?
Created blind but commanded to see
I’m the villain that you wanted
Look at my face it’s your creation
Do you not know the devil you’re raising?
Created blind but commanded to see
I’m the villain that you wanted me to be
Aren’t I terrifying?
The way I show no feelings
Does my numbness scare you?
The way I need no healing
Track 3
Progeny II
I’ve got ears to hear
I’ve got eyes to see
I’ve got hands to lay
All the better to save you with my dear
I wake from nightmares and fantasize them into being
I do not fall for the weakness that is empathy
I relegate what is softest and then call it holy
I see a vein and I wonder what it looks like empty
I find a love and I wonder what it feels like betrayed
I meditate on the cruelest hope that you will envy
What I’ve become
A monster with a savior complex
I’ve got ears to hear
I’ve got eyes to see
I’ve got hands to lay
All the better to save you with my dear
Track 4
For
(Instrumental)
Track 5
what? (Feat. d4rkb0i)
For seeking forgiveness
Accept that I did His Adversary proud
Open up your mouth and drink of His stiffness
His holiest witness
Except that I hid this part of who I am
Fucking up His plan, becoming seditious
Is it paradise if I’m afraid of what
A bite of fruit reveals fermenting in my gut? (In my gut!)
Primal appetites suppressed behind the cursed
Way I’m sacrificing knowledge all for what?
For what?
Do I make His stomach sour with the fate that I’ve devoured
For the sin of just a taste
Reveal my skin I am displaced
Try to wipe off your chin
Go and spit out His grace
Is it paradise if I’m afraid of what
A bite of fruit reveals fermenting in my gut? (In my gut!)
Primal appetites suppressed behind the cursed
Way I am sacrificing knowledge all for what?
For what?
For what
Is it paradise?
Fucking paradise?
Knowledge all for what?
All for what?
For what?
For what?
For what?
For what, Daddy?
For what.
Track 6
Requiem for a Dying Monster
Skin on, sun’s out
Forgot what I was afraid about
Unweave cobwebs
But mind the serpents under steps
Everything I’ve loved has taught me to seethe
So I can do anything with clenched teeth
Shield down, bets off
What was vicious is now soft
Handful of fire
Something sharp within the other
Gentleness never came easy to me
But I can do anything with clenched teeth
Here come the pins and the needles
I’ve been lifeless for so long
I regret all my evil
Maybe I was mortal all along
Eyes wide, child-like
To be reborn you have to die
Try to conflate
Being a sinner with being a saint
Falling in love with the duality
And I don’t even have to clench my teeth
Here come the pins and needles
I’ve been lifeless for so long
I regret all my evil
Maybe I was mortal all along
Here come the muck and mire
I’ve been escaping for so long
I regret being a liar
Maybe I was mortal all along
I want to scream
Open my ribcage, reveal the blood and guts beneath
I want to scream
Open my ribcage, reveal the blood and guts beneath
Track 7
Taste the Blood
I was soft and compliant
Like moths to a wildfire
I was in every witch you burned
Every woman ever scorned
And I helped you do it
I stopped biting down
I still taste the Blood
I stopped my dreams of martyrdom
Fantasies of being numb
I won’t help you do it
Track 8
Hypatia
Did you dare be a beautiful thinker
And make peace with your sin?
Did you dare be a woman in disbelief
Of another man’s god?
Did you dare gain their attention
Through thoughts you wouldn’t rescind?
Did you dare beguile the masses
And let them reveal their own evil plot?
Hypatia
Easier to want you in stone than in flesh
Hypatia
Easier to champion if you were a man
Hypatia
Easier to love you now that you are dead
Did you dare go your own way home
Across a path that you forged?
Did you dare be a friend to the fiending
Just to lose to their passions for crime?
Did you dare fill the shoes of your father
And then fill them again?
Did you dare conjure up calculations
That made the dark magic void?
Hypatia
Easier to want you in stone than in flesh
Hypatia
Easier to champion if you were a man
Hypatia
Easier to want you in stone than in flesh
Hypatia
Easier to champion if you were a man
Hypatia
Easier to love you now that you are dead
Track 9
Exit Wounds
Hey, I’m fine, can’t say I missed the signs
Wrong place, wrong time
Been leaving for awhile
Hey, my bad, gave everything I had
I disappeared
Tell everybody
I’ll be okay soon
It’s only exit wounds
I’ll be okay soon
It’s only exit wounds
Hey, all good, guess I misunderstood
What you call love
Is poison to my blood
I died, got out
The future killed the doubt
I feel no fear
Tell everybody
I’ll be okay soon
It’s only exit wounds
I’ll be okay soon
It’s only exit wounds
Oooh Ooooh Oooooh (repeat)
I’ll be okay soon
It’s only exit wounds
I’ll be okay soon
Track 10
(Re-entry)
I am in flames
Your armor, my naked skin
I put on my blackest dress and laid in the waves
Your hollowed out rib cage
My bare hands clutching a coal inside
Just trying to keep you alive
Even the bravest things I say
Sound like an apology
Coming out
Track 11
WITSOAW
Mouth to mouth
I resuscitate
He says I taste like Spring
Up and up
I levitate
He says I look like sun
A war in the shape of a woman
Am I winning you over?
A weapon without a direction
Til now
All this disappointment
Once was hope
I think I can get it back
All these scars point to where
I have coped
And I am never going back
I am never going back
I am never going back
Eye for eye
I negotiate
He says it’s not the same
Part by part
I desecrate
I say I’m holier now
A war in the shape of a woman
Am I winning you over?
A weapon without a direction
Til now
All this disappointment
Once was hope
I think I can get it back
All these scars point to where
I have coped
And I am never going back
I am never going back
I am never going back
Track 12
good w/o anything.
Aah aah
Aah aah
Aah aah
I crashed so hard and when I landed on my feet
My bones broke, I swear it
But they told me that it was all inside my head
But I feel it, I swear it
And I’d like to snap out of it
But I’ve never been good with my hands
And I wish it wasn’t relevant
But I almost always need a second chance
I’d like to be
I’d like to be
I’d like to be good without anything
Good without anything
Good without anything
Now when I think back on all the damage that I’ve done
It makes me wanna throw up
I’d swallow swords just to settle this war
I’ll do better, I swear it
And I’d like to snap out of it
But I’ve never been good with my hands
And I wish it wasn’t relevant
But I almost always need a second chance
I’d like to be
I’d like to be
Good without anything
I’d like to be good without anything
I’d like to be good without anything
Aah aah aah
Aah ah
Good without anything
Track 13
Look Alive
I saw you survive it
Your head above the water
I watched how you struggled
Refined like a fire walker
I saw you invite it
The chaos that consumed you
I watched as you ruined
The prophecies from fools
There’s a light in your eyes
You look alive
You gave up once or twice
And then you came back for one more
You just couldn’t stay dead
What killed you didn’t end the war
You showed up shattered
Put all your pieces back together
You held on to one thing
That loss would not define you
I know the trip here made you carsick
I know the fear when you thought you lost it
I know the cost of self soothing
I know the relief that comes with losing
Your mind
Eager to find
You
There’s a fight in your eyes
You feel alive
You feel alive
Track 14
It matters, because…
Which will destroy us first
The robots by our bedside or the monsters underneath?
We won’t know til it’s happening
I keep coming back for more
Even though every love resolves in death or in tears
We won’t know til it’s happening
You’ll find it in the breaks and bends
In fear of losing your time spent
Sometimes grief is where it begins
You’ll find it when you least intend
In fear of losing your best friend
It matters because it ends
It matters because it ends
You’re sitting sad on a train
Not going fast enough to call yourself a runaway
Way too fast to see what’s coming
Some things take you violently
Some gently over time and without a warning
Way too slow to see anything
You’ll find it in the breaks and bends
In fear of losing your time spent
Sometimes grief is where it begins
You’ll find it when you least intend
In fear of losing your best friend
It matters because it ends
You’ll find it in the breaks and bends
In fear of losing your time spent
Sometimes grief is where it begins
You’ll find it when you least intend
In fear of losing your best friend
It matters because it ends
Oh, it matters because it ends
It matters because it ends
