King Chthonica

from The Slow War of Plantae by Captain Vulpine!

lyrics

Drunk on a cup of bitter, you drank it to its dregs
You washed it down with butterflies while chewing on their legs
At least he kept his cage clean, that's more than I can say for you
Oh, and there's no god, but I'd still never pray for you

Your addiction, malediction, so transfixed on this fiction
Your haste for elation fills an infirmary full of my patience

You're like the ocean, full of monsters
You're like the sea but you're not that deep
You're like a lake, man made and fake
You're like a pond, scum and beyond
You're like the stars, dead light
You're like the moon, half the time out of sight
No life, no fight, but damn, you look good at night

Lacuna
Bacchanalia
Aphasia
Effigy

Read the runes
In cartoon
Detune the way you see

Dysthymic demimonde, a nickel store paradigm
Penny for your rotting petals, I see truth in the slime
I ate away your character, I hid up in the clouds
I peaked inside of heaven, you're gonna hate what I found

I plucked a heart string from your savior, and swallowed it with glue
I cut the strings from every cloud, and they fell down from the blue
And one more thing, I took every angels wings
And I spat in the face of the man at the gates
I ploughed the streets of gold
I took a fair price for all my hate and
I pawned it for some souls
'Cus I'm sick, sick
666
Sexsexsexsexsex

And the other guy thanked me for all of my work
Said if I weren't so bad at suicide
He would've taken me deep down into the murk
And had me by his side

But I remembered my whole life and the tragedy it was
I never really got a kick out of misery, I just liked my own blood
So I bowed out proud, and vowed to nothing ever again
And smiled in pride with my eyes open wide and embraced oblivion.

Captain Vulpine! Portland, Oregon

Culled from the muzzard infested lands of inbetween, Captain Vulpine wanders the ever-dying mortal world in search of nothing at all. Shortly after discovering whiskey, all was lost- and the disastrous memoirs of lands and minds long since gone now linger in these culminations of manifested misery and madness. ... more
