GNOB LYRICS

1. Blond Prostitute

the vomit on your lips tastes like the sex of a twin sister I can hear your stomach knot as another threshold is reached and crossed imagination is the key so destroy with the nails repair with the tongue and repeat it only hurts if you look I am a velvet corpse kneeling before you and for a split second your eyes were lambs as my fingers slipped around your neck on the way to heaven

2. Patterns of Failure

with better eyes I could have seen the disgust on your face when I spoke your name and with better ears I could have heard the disgust in your voice when you spoke mine and with better hands I could have felt your skin crawl when my fingers touched down upon your neck and with a better nose I could have smelled the vomit churning in your stomach when you touched me out of pity and perhaps with a better voice my words might have done more than flatter and yet even with all these things I know it would have happened the same way because even now I still wish I could do it all over again

3. Rejection Fetish

a pair of cracked snowflakes bleed behind a veil of crimson butterflies her face is a heaven littered with dead angels I bathed in their blood slept upon their severed wings imagining a place called innocence I see flashes of pale skin writhing in bruised ecstasy I am the immortal disciple of a dying god each time she forgives me it becomes easier her smile has gone and in the bedroom there is only the hollow scraping of skeletal lovers dreaming of skin

4. Dark Satellites

rebellion impossible your cabal crushed in its infancy they watch you conspire from distances beyond your perception before revolt is feasible their ability to negate our strategems must be annulled we must blind the watchers

5. Purity Undone

I dream of leaving this body through a leak in my skin escaping this temple holding a young god in visions of purity undone visions of purity undone and yet I gave in to divinity or perhaps just sleight of hand but on the day the guilt fades away I will finally understand

6. Forgotten Child

a sliver of star dances through my sky to crash into another lifetime always the journey never the destination those lovely columns of fanged smoke wander through plastic gardens where kisses blown at a forgotten love still drift looking for a face in a world of masks I see a light on a dead horizon glowing like a bed of sapphires in a sea of ash but it's a distraction and nothing more just an instrument to measure the darkness that swallows me from time to time

7. White Sand

like a rabbit drowning in quicksand I say as I try to imagine the death whisper of your heart dissolving through my cupped hands ambushed by assassins in my blind spot I couldn't recover in time to save a sleeping child from being pulled in by a silent tide

8. Painter of Dead Girls

I see the pale girl in a red dress on the stairs of a sinking mansion her siblings take me to her sometimes they say she's my ghost sent back to rape this body and that I'm a painter of dead girls sleeping with the same vultures that tear the flesh from my inspiration she comes to me obscured a distant figure in the rainfall

9. Down in the Street

[Stooges cover]

Huh!
down on the street
where the faces shine.
floatin' around I'm
a real low mind.
see a pretty thing - ain't no wall.
see a pretty thing - ain't no wall.
no wall,
no wall,
no wall.
Uuh!
yeah deep in the night
I'm lost in love.
yeah deep in the night
I'm lost in love.
a thousand lights
look at you.
a thousand lights
look at you.
I'm lost, I'm lost, I'm lost - yeah.
Huh
faces shine - real low mind.
real low mind.
I'm a real low mind.
real low mind
