about

You demand the violence, we supply the eroticism. People love to hate the things they secretly crave.

lyrics

There is something wretched, writhing, hiding down inside of me.
There is something angry yelling "let me go and let me feed".
You unlocked the gate. and you set me free,
the blame's not on me.
 
My Accomplice can accomplish more when she will not deny,
every little fantasy and urge she is compelled to hide.
All the deviance, sex and violence,
you demand I supply.

And now I weep in disgust,
 for all of the lives it will take,
and all of the tears that will flow,
consumed by the art we create.


There's a part of me, locked inside of me,
doesn't wanna see, this reality.


Can you see it, do you have the right eyes?
There is murder in the art most can't recognize.

can you feel it, do you have the right mind?
there is murder in the art most can't recognize.


There's a part of me, locked inside of me,
doesn't wanna see, this reality.
 
 

My Brush meets the canvas,
with every stroke of madness,
captures pain and sadness,
my contempt is matchless.


For a moment I can tame the madness spilling out of me.
For a moment I can be the me I always want to be.
Then my logic fades, sanity will not last.
The madness never passed. 

Your commission's, imposition forcing me to work and yearn. 
My salvation's degradation hindering the rest I've earned. 
You enjoy the pain and you need your fix, 
I create as you wish. 

And now the blank canvas is set, 
there's no more time for regrets. In my pursuit I will take you, 
capture your essence and break you.
 

There's a part of me, locked inside of me, 
doesn't wanna see, this reality.
 

Can you see it, do you have the right eyes? 
There is murder in the art most can't recognize. 

Can you feel it, do you have the right mind? 
There is murder in the art most can't recognize.
 

There's a part of me, locked inside of me, 
doesn't wanna see, this reality.

My Brush meets the canvas, 
with every stroke of madness, 
captures pain and sadness,
my contempt is matchless.
 

You are my masterpiece and I have worked so long. 
I found a brief relief even though it was wrong. 
Now the slate is clean, it's time to start again. 
I will never be free, my work will never end.
