1. Closer (To God)

you let me violate you,
you let me desecrate you
you let me penetrate you,
you let me complicate you

help me I broke apart my insides,
help me i've got no soul to sell
help me the only thing that works for me,
help me get away from myself

I want to fuck you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to fuck you like an animal

my whole existence is flawed
you get me closer to god

you can have my isolation,
you can have the hate that it brings
you can have my absence of faith,
you can have my everything

help me tear down my reason,
help me its' your sex I can smell
help me you make me perfect,
help me become somebody else

I want to fuck you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to fuck you like an animal

my whole existence is flawed
you get me closer to god

through every forest, above the trees
within my stomach, scraped off my knees
I drink the honey inside your hive
you are the reason I stay alive


2. Closer (Precursor)



3. Closer (Deviation)



4. Heresy (Blind)

he sewed his eyes shut because he is afraid to see
he tries to tell me what I put inside of me
he's got the answers to ease my curiosity
he dreamed up a god and called it christianity
your god is dead and no one cares
if there is a hell I will see you there
he flexed his muscles to keep his flock of sheep in line
he made a virus that would kill off all the swine
his perfect kingdom of killing, suffering and pain
demands devotion atrocities done in his name
your god is dead and no one cares
drowning in his own hypocrisy
and if there is a hell I will see you there
burning with your god in humility
will you die for this?


5. Memorabilia

[Originally performed by Soft Cell]

wherever I go
I take a little piece of you
I collect
I reject
photographs I took of you

well times I passed through
so many faces
so many places
I have got to have a memory
I have never been there
I have never had you

I can't remember
give me your reminder
I collect
I reject

memorabilia
(now girl... only it's flavor... bow down here)

keychains and snowstorms
the taste of your sweat
the look in your eye
I have been inside you
I know what it feels like
(wet as it is... the whiter the honey)
I collect
I reject

memorabilia
(goodies come in here all day)

give me your reminder
I can't remember
I collect
I reject
