lyrics

Psych ward singer, well he’s a liar, baby
Psych ward singer, and I’m a liar too
Psych ward singer, he’s been to jail
Cause he’s a Criminal, and I’m a criminal

Have you ever walked with your savior?
I been around the world but I’ve never seen the likes of you
Where will you be during the rapture?
Now I’ve never claimed to be your saving grace, actually you’re done for
How can I wrap my head around God’s will?
I’ve dug a lot of graves in my day and one of them might be yours

I’ve traveled with the caravan of the holy
And I’ve looked into the eyes of the Lord and seen the slaughter of the weak
The culling of the lambs in the sacrifice of tomorrow’s gifts
These revelations have brought me the glory of suffering and the torment of eternal life

What’s the role of guardian angels?
I’ve seen men eat oysters in a dark room, if you catch what I’m throwing at ya
How do you live with the spirit?
I’ve thrown the boomerang of salvation, but it never came back to me
Do believe in baptism?
Have you ever seen a man drink and bathe in blood, it ain’t pretty

I have driven on the highway of redemption drinking the tears of the Holy Spirit
You are all casualties in the wreckage of sin, the sulfur drenched soul of the deceiver lives in the walls of this damnable place
I am the vessel of reprieve and will eat the sinew of your immortality

Drawing inspiration from classic garage, Richard Hell, Devo-style New Wave, ’90s skate punk and more, the tightknit quartet constructs unique sonic worlds, luring listeners with refreshing weirdness even as it violently assaults their eardrums. ... more
