Brain Bleed

Everything you say it makes no sense. Everything is jumbled in my head. Don’t know how I got here where I am. Let myself take too much. Right. Left. Right.
All this fear is so inorganic. All this rage has been fabricated. Don’t know what’s real and what’s been tainted. My mind’s a mess of rot that’s decaying. Right. Left. Right.
Not gonna be the same ever again Chemical changes vie for permanence. Doc said everything would be okay, but I don’t feel this going away.

Weed Them and Reap

Spreading quickly, squeezing into every crack and space. Shoving in and pushing out to push you out of place. Unchecked growth is suffocating, leaving you in shade. Untamed roots have taken over the stake that you have claimed.
Pull them out.
Force them from where you belong, take back your fertile ground. Rip them from evasive roots, leave them to rot or drown. Break their Stranglehold on you and redefine your place. You will never fully grow without sufficient space.
Pull them out.

Parasites
02:34

Crawling from my pores. Slithering in my skin. Swimming though my veins. Consume me from within. I can feel you squirm. I can feel you writhe.
Sipping from my eyes. Steal away my sight. Gnawing at my bones. Decaying as you thrive. I can feel you try to destroy me from inside. You’re a parasite. No good parasite.
Paired without consent. Entwined until the end. Eat up my energy and suck away my breath. I can feel you squirm. I can feel you writhe. You’re a parasite. No good parasite.

Get out of my way. Watch it swing as I sway. Every step on the ground. Fucking look at me now. I’m a star I’m a god. I’m a man and you’re not. I’ve got all the clout. Fucking beg and bow down.
You’re weak and I’m strong. I’m everything that you’re not. I demand your respect, or I’ll break your damn neck. Look at my bulge, my arms and my muscles. My cock is so long and I’m so fucking strong.
I need your validation. I crave your affirmation.
I’m so self-obsessed. I see you as a threat. I front and lash out because I hate myself. I’m a nervous wreck. Can’t keep my feelings in check. You just don’t understand. I’m a shell of a man.
I need your validation. I crave your affirmation.

Former Feminist

I used to know a woman. She held a piece of my heart. She wanted to work toward a better world until she met her counterpart. She said, “I can’t fight this fight anymore. Everything is wrong. I thought I knew what I stood for, but he showed me that I don’t.”
Oh my misguided naïve friend, you’ve played into his hand. Through the lies, the deceit, the manipulation. How can I help you understand? Don’t you listen to anyone else. Dig deep down inside. Your thoughts are yours not his to control. Please don’t say it’s alright.
She said, “I’m reformed, I’m better now. He’s changed what’s in my head. He might tell me how to think and feel but he swears it in my interest.”

End of It All
03:40

What will you do? The end is near. The signs are here creeping up filling with fear. What will you do? The secret’s out. The lies are uncovered erasing all doubt. What will you do? I can see though you. What will you do? Now we all see.
What will you do? It’s caving in. The walls you built up are all crumbling down. What will you do? Your defense is done. The lies that protected have vanished and gone. ~ What will you do? I can see through you. What will you do? Now we all see.
What will you do? The end is here. Your life as you know it will soon disappear. What will you do? As you lay exposed. All that exists will rot and decompose. What will you do? I can see through you. What will you do? We all see.

Whispers

The whispers know my secrets. They hang above my head. Know every private moment. Hear everything that’s said. I can’t keep them off my body. I can’t keep them out of my head. I can’t keep them off my body. Please get them out of my head.
They creep in uninvited while I’m laying in my bed. Try not to disturb them. Pray that they won’t spread. I can’t keep them off my body. I can’t keep them out of my head. I can’t keep them off my body. Please get them out of my head.

Safe Place
02:43

I see your pain. I hear your words, but I can’t sympathize. Your discomfort and agony is all but synthesized. I can’t be your safe place. I can’t be your shoulder to cry on. I can’t be your solace. I can’t be whatever you want.
You see my pain. You hear my voice, but still you ask if I could sacrifice my mental health to give you peace of mind. I can’t be your safe place. I can’t be your shoulder to cry on. I can’t be your solace. I can’t be whatever you want.

Cope Atypical

Take your narcotics and your intoxicants. I won’t destroy myself and call it the antidote.
I, I hate myself, but I don’t want your help. My, my heart bleeds red. The same as in my head. My, my enduring is only for me. I don’t want or need your forced remedy. I, I hate myself, but I don’t want your help. My, my heart bleeds red, the same as in my head.
Take your useless pills. I want my free will. Take my whole body. I will still be me.
I, I hate myself, but I don’t want your help. My, my heart bleeds red. The same as in my head. My, my enduring is only for me. I don’t want or need your forced remedy. I, I hate myself, but I don’t want your help. My, my heart bleeds red, the same as in my head.
I can help myself and not forfeit my health. My, my heart bleeds red, the same as in my head.

One More Day
04:52

Do you remember, when you used to say things will be better with just one more day? You were never too far. You don’t know it, but you left your mark. You pulled me from the dark while your world was falling apart.
I’m still holding on, dear. You’d be so proud of me. With so much to live for, I wish you could see. The years keep on passing. Oh, how things change. Another year’s over, but you’re still the same. You pulled me from the dark, but you couldn’t take that to heart.

This is pretty much a perfect noise rock record, worshiping at the Church of Jesus Lizard, but with its own flavor of punishment, more calculated and bludgeoning than Yow and co. The riffs are all killer, no filler. I'm sad that this is the last hurrah for this band, but at least it ended on this very high note. Buildings is dead, long live Buildings!
