Decrepit gears begin to turn when heaps of leaves burn The charnel spirit bursts from its seasonal urn I feel so alive channeling the dead The autumn chill arises, every human hide is shed On All Hallows' Eve, the gallows are emptied Marshmallows leave massive craters in our teeth Every Halloween, life is but a dream For sadistic dentists with an ear for muffled screams There's a body swinging under every bridge Decorations set ablaze to illuminate the ridge The omnipungent scent of embalming fluid Draws the minatory march of pumpkin-headed druids Armed with only flashlights and bags for the loot For tricks and treats the severity of our maligancy is reduced Door to door, we take enough and then some more Murdering time and gargling the gore Let the bats in, let the rats in, kickstart that pumpkin heart Let the bats in, let the rats in, eyes carved to light the dark The forbidden fruit glimmers, dangling from a leafless tree Seeping with toxic temptation, take the bait, I beg of thee Your mouth is slowly shredded to dripping ribbons Ripped and torn by gumfucking delicacies I am the light in the middle of the road I am the squeak of the guillotine The creaking of your buckling bones Behold the embodiment of Halloween All year, every year, neverending fear

Back road, midsummer '76 Run of the sawmill, ruined roadtrip Detour through hell, shortcut through life Ran down and scattered, chopped up and battered Brain matter splattered, blood and guts spilled Double cup untouched, Leatherface still the most trill Garnished with the magic shrooms, post-purple doom Flesh-ripping, drank-sipping, ball-tripping goon Another batch of bastards to mutilate and baste 5 more unsuspecting out-of-towners to turn to paste Slice, sip, dice, drip The bright red trickles onto an apron stained violet Magenta visions flipping, rippling like a loosened spine Frolicking in freedom, detached like severed limbs, divine

I'll go to school and grow out of art Learn that "weird" is a dirty word Play sports and break some hearts I'll go to college Enrolled to get fucked up Tunnel vision: pussy fishin' till I'm out of luck I'll man up and give up my silly dreams Cut my hair, get a real job, only one way to succeed Alive two nights a week, personality of tar I rake it in then drop it all on our brand new car The house, that old loan, daycare and your new pearls It sucks, but hey, it's not my like it's my world First world focus, zoomed the fuck in Let's dive into debt so we can keep up with our friends I'll cheat on you, you'll cheat on me I'm pretty sure that this is the American dream One day it'll hit me like a stack of credit cards I'll put on some Coldplay and leave the door ajar Tidy up my cubicle, give the family portrait a flip Tie my tie nice and tight and give the office chair a kick

Murder mystery, 1953 Urgent PSA across every transistor Keep a skeptic eye on your neighbors Don't let in any strange visitors Lives taken at random Freak occurrences, bloodthirsty phantom A single splash of red in the water A simple time, a chain of crime, inhumane slaughter Thirteen missing citizens Personal high score I love the thrill of seeing my latest Piece of decor on the bulletin board Polaroid panorama Paralyzing fear//Your eyes//Dead air//My shades//My eyes//The purest fucking evil Morning - Malt shop mutilation Evening - Drugstore evisceration Blind eyes turned to evidence burned Vintage acts of violence on the greatest generation

Captured, out of luck Strapped down and opened up Journey to the center of a gurney Removals blueprinted from kneecaps to neck The marker caresses your clambering carcass Steel and marrow intersect, better have my kidney when I come to collect The ambulances moonlight as hearses Vessels of dismemberment, driven by undead nurses Attempt escape and the nails grind deeper Your fate gets bleaker, run down by the reaper Sloppily dissected, eyeballs pop out dilated Laughter laced with madness serenades the human buffet we've created Gurgling curses, the situation worsens Torn into and gutted like you're not a fucking person Flayed and displayed, I feel no dismay Skewered in manure, fluids drain into the sewer Torn to fuck A sudden change in tone Upon the first crunch of a bone Pathetic screams so wretched At the snapping of the second Picked apart before they're cold Abominations to behold Submission via rusted weapons Restrained and dissected

Cave in, swim below the surface Let your internal furnace burn Like a thousand untethered stars Morning stars Let your scars simmer bright Embrace the moonlight as your guide To and from the underearth uncharred Blinded by the descending sun The longing in your eyes looks as dismal as your fate Comfort and acceptance dangled as bait Pure white walls and sickly silent halls From beyond the oaken barrier the coven calls Lured from the safety of settling By haunting howls launched from the woods Chills that can split a spine in three A peripheral glimpse of pointed black hoods Fear not the fire, claim what thine desire Extinguish all false light//Independent empire Protect your power, prolong the witching hour Constant vigilance Charm and devour every coward
