WINDHAM

Broad is the road that leads to death
And thousands walk together there;
But wisdom shows a narrow path,
With here and there a traveler.

"Deny thyself, and take thy cross,"
Is the Redeemer's great command;
Nature must count her gold but dross,
If she would gain this heav'nly land.

The fearful soul that tires and faints
And walks the ways of God no more,
Is but esteemed almost a saint,
And makes his own destruction sure.

Lord, let not all my hopes be vain,
Create my heart entirely new,
Which hypocrites could ne'er attain,
Which false apostates never knew.

MIND SUMMIT / WOMYN RETROSPECTIVE

Hands both tied
Got my hands both tied
Cynical, and metaphysical, they’re on my mind
Hands both tied
Got my hands both tied
Fallen angel, seraphic abuse, you can’t hide

COVER OF "AIKIDO (NEUROTIC / EROTIC)"

I apologize for playing with your eyes, but I’m obsessed with you
Rolling out of bed is morning in my head, ‘cause I’m obsessed with you
Rose mirages into vases, I don’t stand a chance
Quiet girls with wrist corsages, cordial silence, I can’t dance

Holding breath by graveyards, salt over my shoulder, I’m obsessed with you
Rainbow-walking cave-heart never will be bolder, I’m obsessed with you
Chickenscratch Rembrandts of your likeness, all this nonsense makes me think
My insides cry “try thy finest” why, then, am I at my brink?

I told Doctor Tillis to prescribe an illness, but he said his schedule's filled with
Children who need Prozac, Prilosec and Lo-jack, triple-sec and Lexapro
For second-guesses. Drugs that heal. So we can touch instead of feel

Oh, I apologize for playing with your eyes, but I’m obsessed with you
Bite your tongue and smile, stick around a while. I’m obsessed with you
Neurotic erotic, neurotic erotic, neurotic erotic, neurotic erotic
I’m obsessed with you

CHORUS 1

Come fuck me where the guard dogs play
Ahh, I’m waiting and I mean to stay
Let’s show ourselves a real good time
Let everybody see your face, oh
Come fuck me where the guard dogs play
Ahh, o holy ghost and magistrate, yeah
What’s it mean when all the stars bleed out
And you’re the one who’s gotta pay?

VERSE 1

If I asked you how you lived, I could tell you how you’d die
So long as I got heaven, get your own paradise
Yet I can’t help but notice you’re a lover in disguise
We’re all lovers in disguise, we just gotta wonder why
Promised land by a charlatan, your promised time is up again
They all devise some schemes, get you up and down and over them
They’re all crying blood, and they’re all leaking screams
Lord, our children sleep with death, we let fire steal our dreams

Let’s try our hand at Eden, let’s understand ourselves
We don’t understand ourselves, we don’t understand our wealth
We don’t make those same mistakes, we don’t ask, and we don’t tell
And I’m sure you’re not with them, but you’re sure not with yourself
But who am I, who are we, who parades your policy
Who’s the seventh in the seal, what's the faggot gonna preach?
She’s the one we can’t let go, she’s the one with all the teeth
She’s the one who leashes clouds into the shape of a beast

[Chorus 1]
All my love, it goes out to you, but
Try and choke me with your fingers cut, now
Try and vomit while I sew you shut
Try and say my name without a tongue, yeah
All my love, it goes out to you, and
Never underestimate the truth, yeah
Let’s all begin to shed our skin
Let the spirit of monoxide in, yeah


VERSE 2

Leave dirt to the charity, let’s silence regularity
Let’s burden our despair with the tendencies of everything
Psycho-temper embassy, our thoughts are so embarrassing
Just like a tender heresy, amalgam of the kerosene
Inside the mouth of oligarchical semantic parody
It’s just me and the prophecy, trust me I’m the man to be
If you don’t like the taste of power, simply recommend to leave
Let me rule the dialects, the fortress and the army

I'm a diamond, I'm a rarity, shine extraordinarily
Blinding with the clarity, refine irregularities
Assign the similarities, define inner identity
Remind familiarity, combine with solidarity
Do nothing for disparity, it’s all unjust despair to me
Intersectionality, hung up on nationality
Culture pests and suicide, do you believe in love, and why?
Freedom lives in the freedomless, so burn your flags and lay your names to die

CHORUS 2

Come fuck me where the guard dogs play
Ahh, I’m waiting and I mean to stay
Let’s show ourselves a real good time
Let everybody see your face, oh
Come fuck me where her animal plays
Ahh, o holy ghost and magistrate, yeah
What to do when the stars bleed out
And the one that’s got your name is gone now

Authority or bloodlust
Call it what you will, but
Let's finish up
Redemption sure as hell won't wait for us
They'll call your conscience guilty,
I sense your heart is willing,
But to me, it's up to dust
Starving hearts can make a killing
What's to self is extra steps
Heritage just couldn't guess
And a god can never win
Against those sins you can't confess
And the markéd dress to best
Another century of pests that tell you
Who to love, how to live, which wolves to impress

T-t-t-tell me, why you look the way you do?
T-t-t-tell me, why you sell yourself to fools
Her animal, is our animal
Is our gospel, and our downfall
Our enlightenment, our history
She rides atop the wicked back of idolatry

Her animal's your gospel
Your gospel's dialectic
Those jaws, those chains
Fervent and electric

Her animal's your gospel
Your gospel's dialectic
Antiquity and peril
Are swimming in the septic

Come fuck us all with generational guilt
Oh god, shame us all with the legacy you built
There's a reason children jam calibers in their skulls
So you try to bulletproof em jamming scripture down their throats
Holy words are thoughtless
Mercy sold to prophets
Cut the tongues of emperors, and addicts to a promise
Not sapphic-tinted thrones, nor queer aligned material
No two-spirit, melanin, no slavery ethereal
Gods don't win, no
Gods don't win, no
Gods don't fucking win
Lick your lips, you birthright costumes
Put the world on a leash, and let the world cry itself to sleep

Trauma undernourished on the hospital floor
Look away, look away, you’re immorality’s whore
