Explosion Compulsion 03:13
lyrics
buy track
Here we go another sleepless night The computer screen my only light Logging in to find some acceptance Searching for my existence I will not sleep again Compulsion that drives me to the end All of the times that you left me for dead In the darkness where I live again I'm too ashamed to use my own real name And attach my failure to my fame Moderating my own rejection Scarred my own creation I will not sleep again Compulsion that drives me to the end Wide awake, my heart beat is like a gun in my head I'll never trust you again I will not sleep again My heartbeats in my head Why won't you be my friend I wish to God that I was dead I'm a slave to my own misery Disillusioned by the influence I think I have I'm losing patience in the silence I don't know if I will ever know my self again

Her Dying Wish 02:31
lyrics
buy track
This is my head Just realize that we are both the same I share the pain of feeling lonely Feel the scars of feeling shame Drown inside her The little that I give is all her worth Like a band aid on an amputated limb I am the cure Trapped in a never ending nightmare I'm reliving sin Everything she ever gave to me is lying dead I will ask her to release me with my final breath From her dying wish Sucked into this dark abyss Stranded in your soulless bliss I can taste your poisonous Plague that I can not resist This is my heart Black and blistered, tortured through and through Corrupted by the notion that I'd live my life for two Become her, a weakened will to live we share as one The narrow minded psycho view our life has now become Trapped in a never ending nightmare I'm reliving sin Everything she ever gave to me is lying dead I will ask her to release me with my final breath From her dying wish When I've reached my final hour And there's no part of me to control She will be there to devour The forgiveness of my mortal soul Trapped in a never ending nightmare I'm reliving sin Everything she ever gave to me is lying dead I will ask her to release me with my final breath From her dying wish

The Day Our Radio Died 03:44
lyrics

I have lost the will to live My one true love has died Need to find a new connection Help me pass the time Oooh hey The radio is gone Are you afraid Afraid to be alone Have you ever looked for an escape from daily life? When you can't find comfort do you think of suicide? Ooh hey The radio is gone Are you afraid? Afraid to be alone Afraid to be alone And my heart won't rest until I sing again I will sing again Ooh hey The radio is gone Are you afraid? Afraid to be alone Afraid to be alone And my heart won't rest until I sing again On the day our radio died I lost my one true friend On the day our radio died The day our radio died I will sing again Virtuoso guitar heroes all line up to die Dated by their image corporate rock says their goodbyes Ooh hey The radio is gone Are you afraid? Afraid to be alone Afraid to be alone And my heart won't rest until I sing again On the day our radio died I lost my one true friend On the day our radio died The day my soul was bled The day our radio died The day our radio died The day our radio died The day our radio died

Flash In Fade Out 03:35
lyrics
buy track
I've taped off all my windows I never do go out I sit inside and remember a world of doubt I never used to project the words I meant to say I'd focus all my ambitions on yesterday I left you there in pieces I felt a different pain I'm drowning in the emotion of my self hate I'm swayed by all my senses and my new heretic My closest friends try to help me but I am sick I'm letting go now that I don't care Living alone and it just ain't fair I have succumbed to a new life told through my television How will I know where to go from here Will life keep me hanging until next year Reality blurs from behind closed doors I'm tuned in to find what I'm living for Nightly closing remarks Have now become my fate A gradual brainwashing Casual return to hate I realize my purpose The reason I am here Undying endless devotion becoming clear I'm letting go now that I don't care Living alone and it just ain't fair I have succumbed to a new life told through my television Outside my window a world of pain I wish I could show you the life I've made Remember the time when I was your slave I bask in the glow of my new soulmate

Kill Communication 04:26
lyrics
buy track
You've always said I'm worthless So what did you expect? A confident revival and you demand respect Proprietor of evil Dyslexic animals Once you have heard the voices You can't think anymore Why did you change your ways? How did you stay the same? What do you want from me? Social security? This eulogy of evil is written with respect Recovered, and it's painful that there is nothing left An empty shell of reason overflowed with ignorance and doubt The static on the airways and the lies you scream and shout Why did you change your ways? How did you stay the same? What do you want from me? Social security? My only son What have we done? Just when you tell the truth you bend it all the same My only son What have we done? Just say you'll kill communication as you go As you go Kill communication You walk among the hopeless trying to get it right But who knows what to wish for? Another dying light We're stayed from retribution We're hard and we'll endure A pile of dirt reminds us We're six feet underground Why did you change your ways? How did you stay the same? What do you want from me? Social security? This statue of forgiveness has to be earned somehow The days crawl by repeated I watch your footsteps now I've seen the cracks reminded of the times I've harbored all the faith I want the worst assuming I believe we're coming back some day Why did you change your ways? How did you stay the same? What do you want from me? Social security? My only son What have we done? Just when you tell the truth you bend it all the same My only son What have we done? Just say you'll kill communication as you go As you go As you go Kill communication as you go As you go As you go Kill communication as you go

The Sin Begins Again 03:11
lyrics

Do you feel like you're a shadow in this world or believe that there's a chance you don't exist? Have you ever cut a hole into your skin to make sure the blood is still flowing within? Bloody handprints on the wall Passed out in the hall I have no memory at all I fall into a nightmare I need to know what triggers it In order to end it Make sure the water is running before the sin begins again I need to find a new sense of reality I need to see myself on my TV I put cameras, lights, and mics in every room set to record The episodic fits that may unfold Bloody handprints on the wall Passed out in the hall I have no memory at all I fall into a nightmare I need to know what triggers it In order to end it Make sure the water is running before the sin begins again I need to find a new sense of reality I need to see myself on my TV I put cameras, lights, and mics in every room set to record The episodic fits that may unfold I need to know what triggers it In order to end it Make sure the water is running before the sin begins again I need to find a new sense of reality I need to see myself on my TV I put cameras, lights, and mics in every room set to record The episodic fits that may unfold Bloody handprints on the wall Passed out in the hall I have no memory at all I fall into a nightmare I need to know what triggers it In order to end it Make sure the water is running before the sin begins again I wanna believe in a life after death Don't wanna believe this is it I wanna escape from the Hell that I'm in Don't wanna drown in my sin The sin begins again Recorded on my television I wanna live again I don't know where to begin

Leave Them For Dead 01:15
lyrics
buy track
I don't know why we're so persuaded by the actors of the world We let them preach discrimination in the minds of little girls Corrupt and control our children Make them believe in the lies you sell them Guided by your television You believe what they say to believe Don't believe a thing, point your hatred straight toward your TV Kill your idols and leave them for dead A nation controlled by fashion You sell your soul so the conscience matches Guided by your television You believe what they say to believe Don't believe a thing, point your hatred straight toward your TV Kill your idols and leave them for dead

Static 03:57
lyrics

My life is so unclear now My heart is feeling dead My thoughts are scattered through the static that's inside my head I try to listen to you Your words don't mean a thing And just to read your lips I strain my eyes to try to see There you go I think I've lost the signal to your soul There you go I'm letting go, your skin is turning cold I don't know where to go now Without your guidance here I don't know how to act Without your mouth inside my ear What am I wearing today? I should tear down the tape And let the sunlight burn my eyes So I can feel again There you go I think I've lost the signal to your soul There you go I'm letting go, your skin is turning cold My soul awakening I'm born again and I'm alone I must have lost my head I've risen from the dead Now I know What I've become I hear the static in my head Tuning out Letting go I pick myself up, start to change again I say goodbye to you now It's time to pull the plug I walk outside and realize The world I used to love I hear an inner voice now Telling me I'm ok I feel a freedom in my heart I know is here to stay There you go I think I've lost the signal to your soul There you go I'm letting go, your skin is turning cold

End Transmission 02:04
lyrics
buy track
Is there anybody out there? I'm sending signals to my human sheep Is there anybody out there? My ratings are down and my life source is draining so please... Come and see what all the hype is I got something that you wanna see I know you're gonna buy this I've got ways of making you believe Look at what I got here Got all the stars in the universe Heaven fabricated for you and a way to escape form a life that is torturing you Is anybody out there? I got something you don't wanna miss I know you're gonna like this I got something that you won't resist I'm sending transmission for global submission now transmitting frequency tones to drive you out broadcasting soundwaves to trap you in self doubt I will corrupt your soul somehow Is there anybody out there? Is there anybody listening? Nothing is working! I've hit some resistance I think you may finally be free Initiate the exit sequence Release the bombs and blow them all away Cuz if we no longer can guide them Just think how dangerous their mortal world will be!

Black Heart Blisters Los Angeles, California

From an ominous lockbox found on the muddy shores of a dispiriting swamp, the duo’s ominous recordings have been cracked open and revitalized in their rawest form. No Auto-Tune accompaniment, no computerized guitars, just original music from a band who likes playing it loud. With a mindset vetted in garage demos and looking for melody in the madness, ... more
