lyrics:

i should've known from the very start this was pointless 
i never learned compassion like the other kids did 
i was kept in a bedroom watching vhs tapes 
absorbing everything 
and now, snuff is just snuff 
and it's never enough to satiate an appetite 
built on someone else's lust for disgust 
so, now it's pointless 
i'll never be the image of containment that i was meant to be 

and it's a real tear-jerker, they'll say 
as they watch my vhs tapes 
i'm going to hell, but rest assured 
i'll be taking every fucking last one of you motherfuckers down with me

snuff

i heard you needed someone to pray to at night

"The problem with changing a system of control from within is that while you're struggling to change the system, the system changes you."

"Happiness is like glass; as real as you or I even though you can't see it; when you find the right angle, it refracts the light creating a spectrum of colours; you look on in admiration and wonder how you didn't notice it was there before."

It's worth noting that getting together for co-ordinated recordings is a struggle due to scheduling issues. All these songs other than "pull the curtains" and "dear god" are meant to be played by a full band. Also references to "God" in all of these songs are references to the CONCEPT of a metaphysical creator rather than an actual entity. Believe in what you will, no judgement here.
