City Slicker And The Piss Artist

from Lifelines by Bad Witch

about

This song used to be sixteen minutes. The first thing I wrote in Open C tuning, and the most fun I've had recording something. Constantly giggling in between vocal takes.

lyrics

New life is born through the black breath
Of lords of public favor crowning rejects
Shed my latest effects and rise from my tomb
Power here is gained through the dark steps
Cults of sex and death make the knees bend
And with this monstrous body, which do I choose?

They chose me to be a trendsetter
Necromantic acts are my accelerant
There was no catalyst, just a stream of food
Mimic my moves for the digital consciousness
First as mirrors, give them other options
Dopamine sensation, tell me who's the fool?
You probably love this too

Come on into the city, come on into the city
So you can bleed like
Come on into the city, make sure you're looking pretty
So you can bleed like never before

I SACRIFICE MY BODY
FOR THE CONTINUING OF YOUR CRIMES
SEX AND MURDER
BE MY BREAD AND WINE
Come inside, read my mind
Manic visions fill my golden eyes
I must erect these walls to testify
That I can take my rightful stain in time
There's blood out in the streets
The opulence of loss
I am a heartless god, I am an artist's god

Subscribe to no aesthetics
Don't let them bring you down
You will rise above them
Nothing can stop you now
It's lonely at the bottom
Let the stream pass through your face
You will grow not one bit warmer
But your wings will melt away

I SACRIFICE MY BODY
FOR THE CONTINUING OF YOUR CRIMES
SEX AND MURDER
BE MY BREAD AND WINE
Come inside, read my mind
Manic visions fill my golden eyes
(I AM CONFINED TO THIS DYING PLANET)
I must erect these walls to testify
That I can take my rightful stain in time
(FOR THE REST OF MY FUCKING LIFE)
There's blood out in the streets
The opulence of loss
(I TAKE NO PRIDE IN FICKLE JOYS)
I am a heartless god, I am an artist's god
(I TAKE PRIDE IN STAINING TIME)
