Coming down
From the mezzanine
They appear fine, fully functioning
Don’t they?
Altogether now
On the rake
They disappear
As the lights go down
Fuck
I’m so alone with them

The Chain
01:19
|
|||
He gathers them all in a day
To wrap them up in his world
He vows love for man
Do you believe him?
A spirit so holy they say
Thy love of self is greater where
He vows love for man
Do you believe him?
Words read over and over again
His face on every man’s face
The institution
The phenomenon
The Fool chained to a cross

Strange Men
01:27
|
|||
Some ought to laugh
Others will weep
It’s universal
It’s tragic
The end’s the same
As the beginning
Monkey paw
Body chaos
Bloody jaw
Behind you
In and out
Focus on the shape
Peculiar and uneven
Monkey paw
Body chaos
Bloody jaw
Behind you
Strange men
Stealing fire from heaven

Private Room

Seminal
I threw down on it
Impulsive, I know
I can’t rewind it
Red Light
So private room it
Now be strong
And on and on
Without enough of it
Fast forward honey
To the part
Where we’re undercover heavy
You following?
Gotta light?
Gotta fast forward honey
Shall I fast forward honey?
Gotta light?

Lover with a lofty touch
I don’t mess with them
Taker with a beggar’s tone
I don’t mess with them
All those people staring
At their phones
I don’t mess with them
A boy with a little bone
I don’t mess with them
You
With the pretty face
Whole world under your feet
Crushing
Should leave well enough alone
Should leave
I won’t play with a short stick
Seer
With their daddy’s scope
I don’t mess with them
Bleeder
With their daddy’s throne
I don’t mess with them

Love is a Lie
01:22
|
|||
Sovereign
In somber times
The wheel unbound
By the bent spoke
Lost
In the realm of men
Feral
Inside the fence
There’s a falling oak
On up ahead
Whatever happened to life
Without death and black magic
When blood flows
From the spectral wound
Time heals nothing

Deeper Void
02:18
|

There’s that pretty face
In our common hall
I heard she will go a fast pace
I’m undecided
I’m tired of feeling alone
There’s a fountain there
Without a limit
There’s an open-faced aggregate
With a tight pulse
And an appetite to go right with it
I go right with it
I’m tired of feeling alone
Two fists inside of it
Rip out a minute
One more empty case
I try to sell
Before I bring it home
I’m tired of feeling alone
Two fists inside of it
Rip out a minute

Nosebleed
00:48
|

You’d think they’d want to know me better
For all the hands upon my body
And not a trace of love left the next day
I’m turning
On these hands
I’m slipping through
Your loose grip
I’ve got a taut chain
A bright light
And that’s where the story ends
In the Black Box
With the transcripts
You’d think they’d want to know me better
There’s a Black Box
Where the story lives

The Dog
01:30
|

The body
In decay
The mind
Half awake
A half life
My hands tied
Wading into the dark
Behind me
The light fades
So close to the dog’s breath I can feel it
Come on
Bring me your hell
Drag me through it
Come on
Bring me your hell
Or be done

The Ritual
01:29
|

I don’t know and I don’t care
I just wanna leave this place
I don’t know and I don’t care
I just wanna be somebody else
I don’t know and I don’t care
I just wanna want something
The way they wanna destroy us
The way they want us to be somebody else
The way they want us to leave this place
I just wanna want something
The way they want
To erase us
There’s water flowing underground
Askew in a spilled wine I lay
In a fetal crescent moon
On top a sign scrawled to say
Don’t touch the art

Pearl Slug
01:10
|
|||
I ate a slug
It made a pearl
I thought of four or five names for a baby girl
It wasn’t mine
Or I wasn’t sure
My head’s still spinning out in the world
Rolling with the lights out
Scream and shout
My head’s still spinning out
In the world
Sometimes people leave and we don’t know why
Sometimes

Filth is Eternal
04:10
|
|||
In the fading light
Of the natural world
I retch at the sun
Yet pine for the fire
Filth
Love
A worm
The rind
A nest for all the world
A flooded mine
Lord of all
Bless this body
Come now across this coil
With that shake and groan
Filth
Love
A worm
The rind
A nest for all the world
A flooded mine
I wanna scream and writhe with joy in the arms of the one I love tonight
I wanna scream
I wanna writhe
Love is a lie
Time heals nothing
Filth is forever mine
I wanna scream and writhe with joy in the arms of the one I love tonight

Filth is Eternal Seattle, Washington
Despite the name, Seattle’s Filth is Eternal feels fundamentally untethered. They’ve achieved an air of unhinged freedom mainly by thrashing their way through unassuming, beloved punk venues, writhing across unwashed floors and DIY spaces, hosting their own brand of communal exorcisms-- participation mandatory. ... more
