1.
Glutton 01:27
Squatting on the ruined carcass / Throat slick with clotted gore Rip and tear, chew and swallow / Bending down to reach for more Glutton, you! Stomach swollen, belly bursting / Veins crawl under glassy skin Never finding satisfaction / Pressure's building up within Glutton, you! The jaws stretched wider, the lips pulled back The eyes glazed over, the teeth turned black In bed lie rotting, all impure flesh And leaning over he starts to retch One spasm ended and still craves more He'll never
2.
Expat 02:57
To live among them, in the cloud of buzzing flies / Turning, turning, turning To watch their sick dances / The intricate mess, all the squealing glee Clustered like barnacles near the hot vents / Sucking at the salts, sucking at the liquors, sucking Standing in the ragged circle, among the chuckling beggars / Laughing oh so smug, smug I am of them I look for my vestments / And find only these stinking rags Serpent among serpents / Lost in the endless coilings of the sweaty den Hidden in the nest, soaked in secret juice / The moth changes back A maggot again like he likes / Emerges into the light blinking and spitting, blinking and spitting, blinking and spitting I am of them Drifting / Hollow
3.
Weakling 01:54
His strength gone, it's wasted Now buried in the swamp of his bed Lies gasping, the indolent wretch His mind fixed on that open sore It's vanity / Has led you here It's vanity / Your mind's so clear It's vanity / No-one else to blame It's vanity / Struggle in your chains The blood and bile that chokes you Your nervous smile, my little eel He's begging now to give in The thin limbs twist in soaking rags He'll weep, he'll gnash at hidden foes And all in vain: you did this to yourself   It's vanity / Has led you here It's vanity / Your mind's so clear It's vanity / No-one else to blame It's vanity / Struggle in your chains The blood and bile that chokes you Your nervous smile, my little eel You've trapped yourself / No choices
4.
New Skin 02:41
My wretched body, the rattling husk All scorched and dried out, still leaking pus Just I need, I need / Just a little hint Won't you give me something / I'm gonna lose my mind Well here's your answer, rolling in the dirt Crawling in the mud with a mouth full of earth Just The vulgar pleasures / Teeth grinding sand I'm a wriggling mole / I've got it in my hand Face Down  On the Ground Dig In New Skin
5.
Cannibal 02:49
Cannibal - stroll around so easy Cannibal - roll around so pleased Cannibal - with a conscience that's clean Cannibal - but they feel it so deeply! Clear-eyed and pure-blooded / They're feeding Now they're giving a second glance / They're feeding It's an honor to be chosen / They're feeding You know none of you stand a chance / They'll suck you dry Cannibal – so easy
6.
I'm moving, I'm moving slower Drank down and got thick and syrup flowing I'm moving, I'm moving slower Hold fast, heavy clay Not too hot, not too cold, just right Tripped lying face-down and sprawled in the mud Not too hot, not too cold, just right Sink in feel the buzz You can kick me around, I'm light as a feather You can tug me around, I'm empty You can do what you want, I got no objections Don't you know I'm easy Well known I'm half a man / Well known I'm half a hog Sleek slick and shiny I'm all rubber I just need, I just need one push Slip slipping away I'm rolling, I'm rolling downhill Scratched soiled rusted soaking and senseless I'm rolling, I'm rolling downhill One more used up bottle You can kick me around, I'm light as a feather You can tug me around, I'm empty You can do what you want, I got no objections Don't you know I'm easy
7.
Sinecure 03:33
Here's a fire turned to lead The old tough skin that cracked and bled A lively tongue and clever hands Leaping legs, the strength to stand A shouting mouth to brag and boast Blazing embers, furious smoke And it's all gone numb Carefree days have come at last! I thought I knew what I wanted I didn't know what I'd need A whipping dog desperate for a master A little man crying out for the heel Easy living and a feather bed Soft white pillows beneath my head A life of leisure, nothing to do Here among the privileged few And it's all gone numb I thought I knew what I wanted I didn't know what I'd need A whipping dog desperate for a master A little man crying out for the heel
8.
Sunshine's a crushing blow And it's us the anvil But now Our pale friend our pale friend / Pale and comfortable he Wants to get get out there / Out in the summer heat From café to café / Bathed in a thin white buzz The cool air's been blowing / And baby starts to fuss It ain't no real summer / And he ain't had no fun While we've been out working / Pressed under the sun's tongue The crumbling rock Passing out, the shock Shirt white with salt Ninety-Pound Jack Dripping wet and clammy / Cold in the funeral pyre Clumsy hands drop tools when / The boiling brain's so tired He's pouting, he pines for / His time out in the light I'll gladly give him his / His chance to ASBESTOS

For everything we'll give you For anything at all It's cracked open and ready Get on your knees and crawl The thick dust White fibers Pay no mind A wet mouth Means trouble You're well trained Breathe deeply We need you here Need your bones You're certified Now everything is ready Everything will be fine Put your hand in the wolf's mouth Think of the overtime The cold paste White metal Tread softly A wet mouth Means trouble It's our gift to you
