V.E.N.O.M.O.U.S

we’ve risen from hell
To fall from grace

 
Wash me in the blood of sacrificial lambs
As the pretense of safety comes crashing down
A walk among the graves revels what I am
And the word around town
I wear the blackest crown
It seems to me that I don’t give a goddamn
 
I must distract a matter of fact
With such a fiction of conviction
Then retract declaration of pacts
Body of diction crucifixion
 
Villainous and criminal though Empathetic
to the Nobodies that Orchestrate the Malicious
and Obscene world for those of us labeled Unsightly
We live betrayed and poisoned without your Salvation
 
The broken mirror reveals the infamous
You will see the Venomous
No matter what you say or do
You will see the Venomous
 
THE FUCKING VENOMOUS
 
I see you searching from across deserted lands
Looking for a dash of hope among the shrouds
Don’t become a martyr for your fellow man
And the word around town
We share the blackest crowns
It seems to me that you don’t give a goddamn
 
I must distract a matter of fact
With such a fiction of conviction
Then retract declaration of pacts
Body of diction crucifixion
 
Villainous and criminal though Empathetic
to the Nobodies that Orchestrate the Malicious
and Obscene world for those of us labeled Unsightly
We live betrayed and poisoned without your Salvation
 
The broken mirror reveals the infamous
You will see the Venomous
No matter what you say or do
You will see the Venomous
 
THE FUCKING VENOMOUS
 
We spit
We shit
On the people’s created image of creation
We crave
We gave
Everything sacrificed to live in desolation
We try
We fight
The monsters you created that we abhor
We grieve
We bleed
For a world that we cannot stand anymore
 
I must distract a matter of fact
With such a fiction of conviction
Then retract declaration of pacts
Body of diction crucifixion
 
Villainous and criminal though Empathetic
to the Nobodies that Orchestrate the Malicious
and Obscene world for those of us labeled Unsightly
We live betrayed and poisoned without your Salvation
 
The broken mirror reveals the infamous
You will see the Venomous
No matter what you say or do
You will see the Venomous
 
THE FUCKING VENOMOUS
 
we’ve risen from hell
To fall from grace
