lyrics

Lately I've been stuck in contrition
Looking down at my feet but my hands still sinning
I got demons and I keep fucking with em
Sometimes I fear I am never forgiven

Bring on the eschaton, let's go back to the beginning
Wipe the slate clean, no more demons no dreaming
About a glistening light that's gonna come into my life
The resurrection of Christ, his hand clutching a knife
Saying, "I bring not peace and I bring not strife
Only a blade to cleave between fire and ice
So that the lukewarm will no longer dance with the swine
I got a gat and a nine, I'm the elixir of life."

Until then I'll be creeping in the nighttime
All I ever got is time
All I ever speak is grime
My actions are defined by an essence that is separate from the present, outside of dimensions, perceptions are twisted and unpleasant
I keep confessing, but it's just a deflection, did I mention that I got some real troubling ontological questions?
Without divinity all things are absent from direction
The existence of perfection, a true Theosis in expression
Without these things all meaning becomes lost, but take a look around and my piety goes soft
I see a cross, I feel aimless shame upon a nameless rain hardening into frost

I'm feeling gnostic plus the Pentecost bitch, I spit caustic rhymes, toxic to all agnostics
All my haters demonic, all my women psychotic, and I'm always rocking peak optics
