no salvation, no forgiveness
The exitainment has begun.
Let the panic attacks and
nervous breakdance sink their
comforting cancer into the
sweaty palms of our hands
like well prescribed press-on
nails. Our stigmata will
stagnate and we will shake,
shake hands like little boys-
-if boys were just like
puppies--spreading our ring
worms. ATTENTION MY CRIPPLING
ORCHESTRA! I am your Cracked
Atom!!!......drum roll
please......At least our
death wishes will come true.
We don't even need to blow
out the candles. I hear that
thunder, I hear it too. It's
all my goddamn Frankensteins
coming back for some sick
closure. Listen, the world
can't be an opera when it
needs an operation. The
second coming of Christ will
require more than softcore
porn, mini-bar gin and
Viagra. Don't ever answer the
door and remember that most
authorities believe that the
side effects of this breeding
ground of talentless chaos
will not leave any permanent
damage.We are the "good
monsters" that are only
chipped away by the banality
of "enter"tainment, and our
black encrusted beehives
harden into hideous-honey-
diamonds, too personal and
nervous for idiots to hold or
cherish. Only your love is
uncanny and only you can feel
that all of our art is
muscle. Your beauty will be
edible or it will not be
beauty at all---no salvation
and no forgiveness. We are
the ones with the bloody
knuckles.
It has taken ten years, boys
and girls to climb this ugly
hill and these are the Songs
of Golgotha. We have put
together the best of what we
have made and this is only a
reminder that you can cut off
the head but it only grows
back harder. The band is in
the studio, still growing and
there is no sign of our
knuckles healing.
