Overneath The Path Of Misery (BV '2012)

Born Villain
Stare into my Kodachrome jackhammer I-eyes never thought you’d see
the asphalt crack-crack-crack like a black eggshell

don’t ever say I never warned you from the start
don’t ever say I never warned you from the start
you’re not a shovel and I’m not your dirt

Manson: «Life is but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more: this is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, that signifies nothing.»

[a slight paraphrasing of Macbeth (Act 5, Scene 5):

"Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing." ]

is there any way to unswallow my pride?
can I [bad word] myself down?
why die when you can kill the father?

every breath confessed at a person no longer present-tense

no, no, no, no, no reason

I can never leave
I can never leaveBlack Woman: «Come, you spirits that tend on mortal thoughts, un me here…»

[an excerpt from Macbeth, Act 1, Scene 5

". . . Come, you spirits
That tend on mortal thoughts, un me here,
And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full
Of direst cruelty."]
I won’t regret letting you live
even if you forgot what you never saved me from
so I say whatever or for never
for, for, for, for, for, for never
for, for, for, for, for, for never
for, for, for, for, for, for never
whatever

rape, rape, rape Persephone
rape, rape, rape Persephone
rape, rape, rape Persephone

I can never leave

Manson: «The wages of sin is death. Nothing in his life became him like the leaving it.»
[a pair of excerpts from The Bible, Romans 6:23 (KJV):

"...For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

and from Macbeth, Act 1, Scene 4:

"But I have spoke
With one that saw him die; who did report
That very frankly he confessed his treasons,
Implor'd your Highness' pardon, and set forth
deep repentance. Nothing in his life
Became him like the leaving it."]

I can never leave
I can never leave

no, no, no, no, no, no reason
