lyrics

There’s a beast that I’ve grown we used to be equals.
I ended indebted to the knownest of evils.
This is my feeble attempt a pleas that I’ve sent
To escape from my demon this beast that I’ve kept.
The demon fed this heathen spell to weave at a whim,
At a cost for each hymn a fact not lost on the id.
The pact I botched as a kid; a fact I often omit.
The only profit has been a path I walk without end.
To endeavor to create. Take my cleave to the paint.
Make the letters take shape, for the devil to berate.
Take the leather to his flank for every mistake.
Alas, age has net the devil better taste.
Used to settle for the greats never sated till it breaks.
What a fate, severed takes that will never get a wake.
Tethered to the stake, wedded to the benefits wage.
Such a waste. Never get in bed with a snake.

The beast is critical, bitter, ever cynical.
I feed him weathered hymnals. I’m tethered to the ritual.
Empirical evidence suggests, several miracles
Are simply clever tricks to get the veteran to give his best.
So though I forget my station. Ever in the devil’s debt
Never impatient. A wretched pest enslaved to the kraken.
Unclean priest to the beast that caged him.
You never heard a bird sing so true.
Burdened with the curse of sacrifice to the Eldritch brute.
A small price set it loose on the beast.
Now I’m ravaged, a scavenger, vermin, a thief.
Forced to sing him savage, angered sermons and pleas.
The one to speak in tongues even blind I’ll find the drum to beat.
My reasoned rhymes will only sign the line and fund the feast
Till I’m dumb deaf and numb till I succumb till I become the beast.

When we started the demon he was eager to please:
Speakers ready to bleed each beat seasoned to tease.
At the speed that it takes a desert eagle to speak,
I’d invoke this part of me with unfeasible ease.
He let the need grow inside of me he sowed his seeds deep,
Fiendishly greedy for the fever to peak.
I agreed to let his needle teethed leeches to feast
So I could keep this weeping demon’s easel deep in my cheek.
Within a week I caught the thief he was stealing my sleep,
Scheming on me with weaknesses he’d seen in my dreams.
Bleeding pieces of this weasels feeble feverish pleas
As he leads to defeat. I see no need to beat a speedy retreat.
The cost of upheaval a reasonable fee,
But I’ve always been meager and cheap.
I concede that it seems my demeanor is meek,
But I plead with the beast for the beatings to cease.
