July 13 No Hope No Pain

She said imagine a day, imagine it's today

You finally drive a knife across your face

Social disgrace, no longer have to play

This human game, no hope no pain

No hope no pain

No hope no pain

NO

She said I only feel pain when I'm holding on

When I'm holding on

The social feather keeps me from being naked with God

What altar could we possibly heal upon?

Great continents of blood, great rivers and oceans of blood

She said imagine a day, imagine it's today

You wear your refusal right on your face

Liberation liberation liberation liberate

Normativity understood as pure constraint

But that's not the way it is for me, we're not the same

She was homeless as a kid when I was home and safe

But my brother turned to black metal aesthetics because it showed a certain way, through the desecration of the body, a path to escape

Reveal the face to be a mask made out of centuries of cooling blood

The head is just a skull, is just a skull is just a skull is just a skull

I hope she knows I heard the words she said and took it all to heart

Yeah, I hope she knows that heard the words she said and tried to isolate the truth apart

And I hope she knows that I heard the words she said and passed no judgement at all

After all

The head is just a skull

She said I only feel pain when I'm holding on

When I'm holding on

The social feather keeps me from being naked with God

What altar could we possibly heal upon?

Great continents of blood, great rivers and oceans of blood
