Cygnus....Vismund Cygnus

The ocean floor is hidden
From your viewing lens
A depth perception
Languished in the night
All my life,I’ve been
Sewing the wounds
But the seeds sprout
A lachrymal cloud

Niño preparate
Que vas sufrir
Niño preparate
Salte veneno
Niño preparate
Salte de aqui
Niño preparate
Labios temblando
Niño preparate
Salte veneno
Niño preparate
Salte de aqui
Niño preparate
Brincan los cuerpos
Vas a sufrir

My nails peel back
When the taxidermist ruined
Goose stepped the freckling impatience
All the brittle tombs
Five hundred little q’s
I’m splitting hairs to
Match the faces

All night long I’ll hunt for you
Let me show you what I mean
Sangre
Sonando
De rabia naci

Now this train don’t lie
An abortion that survived
A lineage of
Bastard mastacation
All the severed proof
Talons scratch my suite
These are the feathers
That replace them

All night I’ll hunt for you
Let me show you what I mean
Sangre
Sonando
De rabia nací

Who do you trust
Will they feed us the womb
Chrome the fetal mirage
Will they feed us the womb

I found the remnants
Of a crescent fang
It cleaned my wing
Down to the bone
Umbilical syllables
Left to decode
There was no cradle
I can taste it
Come on now

All night I’ll hunt for you
Let me show you what I mean
Sangre
Sonando
De rabia naci

Who do you trust?
Will they feed us the womb
Chrome the fetal mirage
Will they feed us the womb

Bring me this plague
She took a drink
Those nicotine stains
On his every word
My scavenger quilt
Will only hide the truth

Bring me
Bring me this plague

I count the days to find
What was left behind
Only these names I clutch
Will lead me to my home
Somehow this river marks
A wrinkle hand in mine
And everyday that parts
The water into two
Mothers and feathers start
To drown the living proof
I can’t remember these lakes of blood
Wrapped in a blanket
There sweats a cut

Who do you trust?
Will they feed us the womb
Chrome the fetal mirage
Will they feed us the womb




The Widow

He's got fasting black lungs
Made of clove splintered shards
They're the kind that will talk
Through a wheezing of coughs
And I hear him every night
In every pore
And every time he just makes me warm

Freeze without an answer
Free from all the shame
Must I hide
'Cause I'll never never sleep alone

Look at how they flock to him
From an isle of open sores
He knows that the taste is such
Is such to die for
And I hear him every night
On every street
The scales that do slither
Deliver me from...

Freeze without an answer
Free from all the shame
Then I'll hide 'cause I'll never never sleep alone
Oh lord

Said I'm, Said I'm, Said I'm,
Said I'm bloodshot for sure
Pale runs the ghost
Swollen on the shore

Every night
In every pore
The scales that do slither
Deliver me from...

Freeze without an answer
Free from all the shame
Then I'll hide
'Cause I'll never never sleep alone

Freeze without an answer
Free from all the shame
Let Me Die
'Cause I'll never never sleep alone




L'Via L'Viaquez

L'Via
Hija de Miranda,
Tu apellido se cambió
L'Via
Sin ojos me quieres dar
Una historia sin mi madre
Sólo tengo que decirte
El dolor de noche dice
Sólo se quedo el vestido
Le lavé la sangre

L'Via
No dejes de descansar
En la calle caminas
¿Quién te va a perseguir?
L'Via
Te quieren matar
Dientes de Machete
Cabeza de gallo
L'Via
Durmiendo en paz
Abre los ojos,
Todo cambiará
L'Via
Soñando de venganza
Y yo te juro
Lo van a pagar

Blackmailed, she fell off every mountain
The ones they tightly wrapped in tape
In her eraser sang the guilty
As it made the best mistakes
And with everybody that I find
And with every claymore that they mine
I won’t forget who I’m looking for
Oh mother help me I’m looking for

L'Via
Hija de Miranda,
Tu apellido se cambió
L'Via
Sin ojos me quieres dar
Una historia sin mi madre
Sólo tengo que decirte
El dolor de noche dice
Sólo se quedo el vestido
Le lavé la sangre

Blackmailed, she fell off every mountain
The ones they tightly wrapped in tape
In her eraser sang the guilty
As it made the best mistakes
And with everybody that I find
And with every claymore that they mine
I won’t forget who I’m looking for
Oh mother help me I’m looking for

Sólo tengo
Una hora
Y me duermo
Terminado
Por veinticinco
Años pasaron
Siguen los cuerpos
Aquí temblando

Tomé la sangre,
Comí el cuerpo,
Mis lágrimas
Quiebra un espejo

When all the worms come
Crawling out of your head
Telling you
Don’t be afraid
When all the worms come
Crawling out of your head
Telling you
Don’t be afraid

Blackmailed she fell off every mountain
The ones they tightly wrapped in tape
In her eraser sang the guilty
As it made the best mistakes
Shark kites got tangled in the moleskin
Urgent plea of escape
A mouth to mouth on the chalkboard
Written in fingernail distaste

And with everybody that I find
And with every claymore that they mine
I won’t forget who I’m looking for
Oh mother help me I’m looking for




Miranda That Ghost Just Isn't Holy Anymore

I’ve always wanted
To eat glass with you again
But I never knew how
How to talk without
Walls dropping on the eve
The nest they made couldn’t break you
Along the fallen
Scowled a fence of beaks
But the temple is scathing
Through your veins
They were scaling
Through an ice pick of abscess reckoning

And when Miranda sang
Everyone turned away
Used to the noose they obey

And whoever said that they would scatter
Separating the mother from child
She can bat a broken eyelid
Raining maggots from it’s sty
And with the traces that she leaves
She will skin you out alive

All the children go grinding their jaws
The sweet smell of their toothless canals
And the dam she will break, make an ocean from this lake
As they siphon off all of our blood

And when Miranda sang
Everyone turned away
Used to the noose they obey

a. TARANTISM

You can't bend your crooked arms or fold your punctured proof
The air is growing cold and there's nothing you can do
Soon there'll be no gauze, inside the confessional
Only rows of crows, defrocking every breath

And one day you'll remember
Behind the melting cones,
I said, one day you'll remember
Behind the melting cones,
You always had a family
In the burial of your home.
In the burial of your home.

Night forever more
Night forever more
Night forever more
Night forever more
Night forever more

And I'll peel back all of my skin
I'll peel back and let it all run
Peel back all of my skin
Peel back and let it all run
Peel back all of my skin

b. PLANT A NAIL IN THE NAVEL STREAM

[Instrumental]

c. FAMINEPULSE

Brick by brick, the night eclipsed
Pricked by the cuticle thorns,
Dried the sleep on nursery slits
Into this life I'm born
Havens just a scab away,
I'd like to see you after just one taste

Sink your teeth into the flesh of midnight
Night forever more,
Let them see it has begun
The others I've become

d. MULTIPLE SPOUSE WOUNDS

No there's no light,
In the darkest of your furthest reaches
No there's no light,
In the darkest of your furthest reaches
No there's no light,
In the darkest of your furthest reaches
No there's no light,
In the darkest of your furthest reaches

No there's no light, no there's no time
You ain't got nothing, your life was just a lie.
No there's no light, no there's no time
You ain't got nothing, your life was just a lie.

e. SARCOPHAGI

The ocean floor is hidden from your viewing lens
A depth perception languished in the night
All my life, I've been sowing the wounds
But the seeds sprout a lachrymal cloud
