lyrics

In a way, I'll always be yours.

Scratching our names into the earth, fixating on the point where all our failures converge. Torn from the soil, both stalk and stem fated to die by our own hands.

We became like flowers, cut clean, and laid bare, across the margins of the pages that make up the stories of who we used to be.

These lacerations, bleeding out my heart for you. Our sickness disguised as devotion. These lacerations, self abusive inclinations, this hatred becomes virtue.

Who will sanctify the dirt in which we lay, our petals pressed into pages of stories with forgotten endings. Peel back the petals, decay always finds a way.

These lacerations, bleeding out my heart for you. Our sickness disguised as devotion. These lacerations, self abusive inclinations, this hatred becomes virtue.

In a way, I'll always be yours.

Hearts grow colder as the soil deepens, further down than any roots dare to grow. A life in loathing, this hatred as virtue, not only binding me to you.

Peel back the petals, decay always finds a way.

Black is beautiful. Inside outside. This band is superb. As a huge Sabbath fan I love the low tuned riffs, as well as the hardcore speed moments, short as they are: but it's exactly that which keeps it so damn interesting. Also love the interplays full of sweetness or speeches about black culture and being black within white domination. Still some things to learn. This is the real life in music form. Let's celebrate.

Seeing Portrayal of Guilt 11/14 front row absolutely destroy a small club in Baltimore on the Christfucker tour brings new meaning to the concept of tortured emotional dissonance. My head is still spinning of how scary talented these three individuals are. Completely awe-inspiring. bcb723
