A Fire of Uncommon Velocity Lyrics

Lecture of nectarines taking precedence
Over the vast emptiness of my name and quickly depleting body
Collapsed in holy withdrawal and a shivering wound left unhealed by time or paranoia
Hopeless hope of nothing to come but lonesome nights in the thick of nowhere
Juniper daze and hold me over the barrel of your gun
Ancient aneurysm of dysfunctional maladies, bitter taste lingers on a tongue of misfortunate choice
There, beneath hideous green/blue liquids await truths yet untold
And by token of my own relinquished desire, fire of uncommon velocity
burn the palate in star/s***e speed
and brooding collapse...
Flat on my back, eyes turned towards heaven, black after that all else fades and in this haze
of unequaled delirium, I become the father who in life has evaded me
For all to see, my religious frenzy
played out in turbulent half-acts at rosary pinwheels
Blood drips wearily from the wounds of childhood affliction, claws ripping inwardly
Forget all I've previously tried to raze
And instead gaze upon the altar now a**embled
to erase that which gave birth to this
unfortunate man/child. With a slightly crooked smile,
replace torn, umbilical rip cord in defense
of my premeditated crime. Unworthy b****** they call I
And I alone shall stand in judgement of the mirror held before me
Cracked down the middle like quicksilver oozing down your golden throat
A blood-letting jab through the arteries of stasis, and chaos floods the body like a broken dream...
Holding on in bold-faced desperation,
Holding on to one last fatal glimpse
Hands meet, touch, retract
Burned to ember
Weakness has sunken in and taken its place
at the head of this dark parade
Stormtroopers attack, bringing up the backwash of bile
A vile agenda agenda lived out in monotonous pain
Forming s*** soaked lived, denied by those
who fake at life
Denied, maligned, redefined circles of s***
Costumed as s***
Cherishing s*** as though we are indebted to it
May we live to regret or forget?
This nightmare is in overdrive,
A fire of uncommon velocity.
