I Am the Liquor: Teaser sample from the upcoming remix album "Empire of Death"

SMP | BPM115 | Bags | V5 | 1.06

[Verse 1]
The dirt still clings to the cross we made,
Your name carved deep like a scar that fades.
Every scream echoes down inside,
A war that won’t quit, no place to hide.
Banging my head on the edge of truth,
The world lost color the day I lost you.
Thought I'd drown, thought I'd fade away,
But rage keeps the reaper at bay.

[Pre-Chorus]
The silence is louder than any sound,
Your ghost is the weight that drags me down.

[Chorus]
It was like yesterday, then the heavens took you away!
Fuckin buried in confusion, tearing myself through decay.
Still I breathe, but barely holding on—yeah!
Punching through the pain till the night is gone!
Still I breathe, but barely holding on!

[Verse 2]
Empty chair, cracked photograph,
I keep your boots by the aftermath.
Whiskey bleeding down my throat,
Every drop burns like a final note.
Can’t bargain with a broken sky,
Can’t kill the tears no matter how I try.
I pound the earth where your name now sleeps,
In the dirt, my fury creeps.

[Pre-Chorus]
Blood in my mouth, fists to the air,
If you can hear me, brother, I’m still there!

[Chorus]
It was like yesterday, then the heavens took you away!
Fuckin buried in confusion, tearing myself through decay.
Still I breathe, but barely holding on—yeah!
Punching through the pain till the night is gone!
Still I breathe, but barely holding on!

[Bridge (Breakdown Growl Section)]
Slam! The hammer falls!
No mercy, no calls!
Your echo screams inside my chest—
God, this hurt never rests!
If there’s a gate, I’ll tear it down,
If there’s a crown, I’ll steal the crown!
You ain’t gone till I’m gone too,
Brother, I still fight for you!

[Final Chorus]
It was like yesterday, then the heavens took you away!
Fuckin buried in confusion, tearing myself through decay.
Still I breathe, but barely holding on—yeah!
Punching through the pain till the night is gone!
Still I breathe,
Still I bleed,
Still I scream your name till they bury me deep!

[Outro]
And when the dirt hits my face someday,
I’ll find you when the dark gives way...
Still I breathe—
But barely holding on.

Still I Breathe

[Verse 1]
Buried beneath your goddamn halo,
You preached, I bled, you burned me slow.
Carved my sins in your holy name,
You smiled when I drowned in shame.
Now I’m clawing through the dirt again,
A requiem soaked in blood and gin.
Angels turn their heads away,
’Cause I’m the curse they couldn’t slay.

[Pre-Chorus]
I hear your whispers callin’ me back,
From the black of the earth, from a heart gone cracked.
You dressed my corpse in chains and lace,
Now I rise to spit in your face.

[Chorus]
Upon my grave, I stand again,
Screamin’ fuck your cross, fuck your Amen!
I built my throne from my decay,
Kiss the dead and watch ’em sway.
Upon my grave, I breathe your hate,
Crown of dirt, my twisted fate.
Light the pyre, let heaven shake,
Upon my grave, the gods will break.

[Verse 2]
Your prayers are poison in disguise,
Drippin’ honey from serpent lies.
I was the saint you crucified,
But the sinner in me never died.
Through every crack in my coffin lid,
I felt your guilt for what you did.
Now your church will taste my rot,
Your holy water turns to clot.

[Pre-Chorus]
You thought I’d fade in dirt and flame,
But even death can’t kill my name.
From bones to dust, from hate to grace,
I smile as the worms embrace.

[Chorus]
Upon my grave, I stand again,
Screamin’ fuck your cross, fuck your Amen!
I built my throne from my decay,
Kiss the dead and watch ’em sway.
Upon my grave, I breathe your hate,
Crown of dirt, my twisted fate.
Light the pyre, let heaven shake,
Upon my grave, the gods will break.

[Bridge – (guttural growl and melodic scream)]
Bleed the choir, burn the light,
Let my ghost feast on the night!
Every tear you dropped was fake,
Now feel the earth beneath you quake!

[Outro]
Lay the roses, cold and black,
I’m the ghost that won’t turn back.
From the pit, I rise, depraved
Forever crowned upon my grave

Upon My Grave

I thought I was beat down

Screaming with no sound

Buried dead underground

Ripping off my skin

I shed

I fed the god head 



Pain for Pay across Crimson cuts

Pain for pain I will never fray away this is my insanity 

From my sanity getting stronger today

I'll never go under



Skills burn deep within the in between

Life's just a joke 

Until you focus

dig your heels endlessly down 

Where you can be seen

Or bothered 

Outside of the pressures of society



Pain for Pay

Trading Special  Pain for emotional physical  pain I will never fray away

From my sanity getting stronger 

It's takes all my minds dark fantasies run away 

Pain for Pay across Crimson cuts

Pain for pain I will never fray away this is my insanity 

From my sanity getting stronger today

I'll never go under



I know I'm not normal

Who The fuck is

How many times do I have to remove all these daggers 

Infecting my ability to sleep 

I foam thrash and beg god get these intrusive thoughts under control 

I don't want to lose everything while the world sleep

When I am Awake barley breathing 



Pain for Pay

Pain for pain I will never fray away

From my sanity getting stronger 

Pain for Pay

Trading Special  Pain for emotional physical  pain I will never fray away

From my sanity getting stronger 

It's takes all my minds dark fantasies run away 

Pain for Pay across Crimson cuts

Pain for pain I will never fray away this is my insanity 

From my sanity getting stronger today

I'll never go under



from all this  synchronicity stabbing me in the halo

That bleeds through out my being under the broken ceiling

Screaming feeling something haunting me  

In the apartment I hide going through recovery





black ink oozes behind closed doors

Sliding the needles across the skin



Pain for Pay

Pain for pain I will never fray away

From my sanity getting stronger 

Pain for Pay

Trading Special  Pain for emotional physical  pain I will never fray away

From my sanity getting stronger 

It's takes all my minds dark fantasies run away 

Pain for Pay across Crimson cuts

Pain for pain I will never fray away this is my insanity 

From my sanity getting stronger today

I'll never go under



Pain for Pay

Pain for pain I will never fray away

From my sanity getting stronger 

Trading Pain For Pain

'The sound is urban, the growl of people and traffic, of machinery and life.  Suddenly you turn a corner and the noise is dimmed.  You look through a window to see a ballet lesson, or a choir rehearsing, the growl of the city still audible.  Turning another corner, you are back in the noise and the heat and the energy.' - Scobi

A collection of remixes hosted by Sony Creative via their Acidplanet community.  Jen Semrau's Wow Jones Mix was the grand prize winner, showcasing solid production and orchestration chops.  Saab's Retro Mix was the runner up because it reminded me of Haujobb in how it was completely rethought and sung in German and Russian.  The Lthrboots and Scobi mixes caught my ear so I felt I'd be doing a disservice by not including them.
