lyrics

I’ve been searching all my lifequest for a chance to save my father
Found eggshells full of ashes with a phoenix fuelled on laughter
Blackly lodged inside my mind the demons hide behind the curtain
Drowning in the wetness of my murdering immersion
Masticating over murder that may just be an illusion
I’m on the cusp of coming early to the correct conclusion

Watching out for crimes committed creeping closer to the truth
I’ve fingered father’s killer but frittata! I’ve no proof!
Watching out for crimes committed creeping closer to the truth
I’ve fingered father’s killer but frittata! I’ve no proof!

Detecting all my days when freelancing round the globe
I can be your spirit guardian if you harden under my robe
I’ve examined up your skirt to source your hidden power
I’ve been collecting all the clues you lose whilst washing in the shower
Guiding all the world’s conundrums into my helping hand
Sliding softly up inside them to arouse a kinder gland

Watching out for crimes committed creeping closer to the truth
I’ve fingered father’s killer but frittata! I’ve no proof!
Watching out for crimes committed creeping closer to the truth
I’ve fingered father’s killer but frittata! I’ve no proof!

This serpent’s shedding shadows on my mother’s whereabouts
The apple of her loins is forbidding fruit from taking sprout
Searching my abandoned homestead for relics of the past
My genesis suppressed I need to find my family fast
Pulling out of mother’s grindhouse where I used to live
The signs are pointing pertly but I’m lacking a motive

Watching out for crimes committed creeping closer to the truth
I’ve fingered father’s killer but frittata! I’ve no proof!
Watching out for crimes committed creeping closer to the truth
I’ve fingered father’s killer but frittata! I’ve no proof!

Surveying my suspicions sweetly sucking on my mind
Suddenly they alter me I’m erotically lobotomized
Aligning the truth before my eyes most terrifyingly
In a vision prison of my hallucinogens my father comes to me
And at last the cover is pulled back I see the gruesome whole
I’m sucked off screaming by the vengeful reflection of my father’s soul
