Sanguine vintage trampled by the hooves of swine god makes the grape but the devil makes the wine A keen eye grapples with a gifted nose sommelier of gutter talk and neoteric prose culled from the tablets and tomes fermented blood from ancient stones a lewd heart beats counterpoint to an practiced tongue high-born lackeys and base Svengalis compute the sum the corsos and the campos are host to buggeries of every exhelerating form a hierarchy of illicit cravings and erogenous capitulations consecrated in wine and verse Paedicabo ego vos et irrumabo Puella defutata

queen operator dispense your revenge your shadow tastes like my favorite affair I have this graven image in my head bedlam copulation on your abattoir bed dig your heel into this life of ease I loathe the safety of safe as milk fantasies your whisper crawls like mercury up and down my spine my resistance token the clocks all broken so you can take your time for the sake of auld lang syne Poison flower, tell ya the truth: I've got a hankering for your tender abuse beneath the din of popping Champaign we'll teach each other the ecstasy of proper measures of pain when you were virgin and of blood of blue, did those libertine novels ever beckon to you? sample the beat, learn to improvise, orgasms and dingy lies what bliss can solve the mannequin spirit devours and denies roll back your eyes if i could sculpt you into something perfectly obscene to set asaide for my demonic days I'd make you a touch more beautiful and ONLY slightly less depraved if I could sculpt you into something more respectable to bring home for the holidays I'd wash the wax and confetti out of your hair new years day: sun sneaks into your twenty something trust fund room with Ophelia's flawed plans, framed on your walls none of which I'll ever be a part of.........

the man behind the wheel on Amalfi and into the gaping maw deciphers the nuance of destiny grappa soaked fevered brain of chase and in this ancient place kiss the stone faces of ancient family guided by suicide follow the dharma repressed last lap in the land of siesta and guiltless culinary sex stateless weightless bitter crescendo watch him,see how he flies! seared synapses speed-shifting the turns as he dies and time collapses the guy who dies in an accident understands the nature of fate a flood of uncertainties is the oder of the day stateless weightless bitter crescendo

DigitalEvil 03:05
Strung across space like a nagging headache this machine eats time and shits out people dull and fat a full of dumb ideas makes me wish there really was a god to smite these imbecile-fadels If wisdom is divine the world is evil DigitalEvil The great mass of humanity just makes me tense and if there were some other way to secure an audience i'd snuff out the sun and let the darkness commence If wisdom is divine, the world is evil DigitalEvil A contest of breaths and the beating of hearts I've been biding my time till your spirits depart Song upon song yet they fall on deaf ears My favorite rhapsody is a blanket of tears I'll be still standing here after all of you disappear if toil is divine the world is evil, DigitalEvil

A choking rainbow reminds him: There is peace after you die The Man who Never Was And he hides the scars that lay claim to the times that he has tried The Man who Never Was And a host of tragic women gave him their hearts but the heart has no hold over his mind "cause life's made him invisible and unkind He has no loyal lineage to look back fondly upon The Man who Never Was No friends or family to morn him when he's gone The Man who Never Was And a band of true believers offered their time but time is a treasure that he cant seem to find seasons pass like lines on his face no one should be lonely there is still time for The Man who Never Was

We were the writers of fiction the poets, painters and musicians we peddled our caustic works to the vapid bourgeoisie despite due diligence and a fashion sense them primetime alluded we who'd rather die then serve at the pleasure of those who'd mock our cause. So we leave you to the selfies, the fat and wealthy and disinterested smatterings of applause. We were thinkers, movers and transgressors We leave you to the gurus, politicians and professors We, who had no fingers upon any of Doomsday's buttons Our departure has been swift, uncompromised and sudden With a legacy vague and unsound, to the Soft Side of Hell we are bound for the devil knows a song when he hears one and a book when he reads one his love of the humanities is renown We leave you technology, nostalgia and paranoia So scuttle your petitions and overtures We have no use for California With no reputations to escape from To the Soft Side of Hell we have come For the Devil knows an artist when he meets one and a critic when he defeats one His body of work is second to none.

I wanna slip the chains of this shakedown gulag Mafiosi, bureaucrats and cops The oxytocin kids line up in an act of defiance Well, it's a fucked up world and they should know the Baby Boomers just won't let go as Generation X shrugs through it's life of compliance Yeah Yeah Yeah It's a grifter's realm that inspires nothing but dread a dream worth dying, it's a saccharine veil with an escape plan and you know it's not very specific Just give me one last score and the room to breathe I've seen some shit that you wouldn't believe let me open my veins and bleed into the blue pacific (just like a maryter, baby) The youth culture turns senile the trademarks prevail up and down the dial New Jersey Jailbreak Follow the dharma westward we seek our fortunes in the burning earth Take me where the tournefortia grows and I will take my final repose All terrors real and imagined they converge upon this sheepish day Sunday morning contradiction a contested election Families turn to carnivores a purgatory you can't ignore New Jersey Jailbreak I another Spangler fueled sonovabitch Barabbas on the cross with a morphine drip I ride the continental drift to the cultural abyss.

War profiteers greet him with a contempt reserved for their friends Godhead of lowbrow paparazzi punch lines at words end His dreams are in your heart like a demon you can not excise guilt ridden, limp wristed no affect you adopt can deny The dark web sorts the dirt from the chatter technocrats pray at night to dark matter manufactured conflict is the blue chip of eternity Vengeful gods replaced with vegan illuminati the president of the united states plays golf with John Gotti mutant spawn of royal seed preside guiltless over the farce as the pope genuflects beneath a bust of Karl Marx as they're digging a pit in the heart of the flyover states where you measure a man by the content of his hate you can ride the interstate and meet the connoisseurs Jesus Christ rides bare back on a dinosaur The three things: Miracle, Mystery, Authority The Rackets must have boogeymen Bulls eyes for the commodities The world trades in blood and risk the rising sun has become intellectual property

You've double crossed the naysayers becoming more beautiful with age. I sought the brass ring only to have them watch me dancing in a cage. You've targeted me for annihilation but my compliance will spoil your revenge. Mount me at ground zero, we'll bloody well see who wins In a world of boring mad men no one goes unscathed. But your love of suffering doesn't prove you are depraved, It only proves you are not brave. Sometimes I wonder what it would take to disappear into the void of one of America's lonely towns, and remain unfound, Un-eulogized, unloved and not missed, where the devils of modern perils dare not go. Palace Depression is guiled despair God shits out stardust, it's the thing in the air. I've got a knack for tragedy, so see if I care. Suicide pact, Disappearing act. Palace Depression is guiled despair God shits out stardust, it's the thing in the air. Fuck me out of house and home, we all die somewhere. Suicide pact, Disappearing act.

Repulsive American sky looming gossamer tapestry shepherd over all the hustles desolate land of tacky fantasies I'd lay may fevered head upon the block for a lousy rose. Myriad dreams to choose when you have nothing to loose Just dump my body in a dreary ditch at the side of the road a taunting mystery dirty minds of vulgar men We all beg to be noticed to be picked up and all at once dominated We return to our roadside poses once we are properly compensated A seedy type of gravity draws the righteous to the depraved The recesses of the heart are a pigsty tired dribble to an old pro I've kept it all in a diary the names and the proclivities your dirty secrets were never safe with me
