lyrics

Black daffodils in the iris of a meaty old crow, reflected and reflected upon
To alchemize a moment transparent in snow.

Hey! Welcome to the Great Harvest of Nothing. The entirety of it.
May I see your tickets please? Ah, yes. You'll be in the second to last row for eternity. Forever. Pity.
Should've sprung for the premiere seating, it's quite a show.
Complimentary biscuit?
"Looking sharp mate"
That was my pet biscuit, he just complemented you. He's hilarious.
So I'm like the resident poet around here. Wanna hear one?

A mouth full of ash
A mouth full of dirt
A mouse full of fire with a soul full of hurt
A cull full of bitter, a cup full of winter.
I'll burn in my ugliest shirt.

I'm gonna call it "Spider Whiskey".
Pretty cool huh? Pretty deep right?

So anyway, you're dead. This is what you would call an afterlife?
What a stupid word, it's a continuation of life, except you're being punished this time.
More so than the last time, I mean
This whole thing? what we're living in right now, what we're hearing and seeing,
Is based off of your shitty art that you've been inflicting on people for years.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
And now you have to live in it.

[It is perfectly unpeculiar to experience trepidation during treppaning.
Though, a perpetually pregnant mind only capable of miscarriages may lead to success by way of freakshow magnetism.]

So... what does that mean?
I mean, you wrote it.
My penny-farthing wrote a song. It's the shittiest bicycle and it wrote the shittiest song, but it's still better than this

Oh by the way the secret to all of earth the whole time is that love is ultimately a destructive force.
Not a one of you figured that out.
Also all art is bullshit. You didn't figure that out either.

[Crisis buys it's rights by night in vices fair and clear
Hedonistic simpletons perplexed by every mirror
Able bodied simpletons with squishy little brains
Let them do their little dance and we'll chew the remains]

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
