If You're Playing Victim Then I'll Play Predator 04:14
lyrics

I've got my claws in I've got my jaws in Trying to hold on past all the thrashing and screaming I am all in Feel it pulsin' The taste of copper cherry will never fade Something's gotta give Something's gotta give And this time, this time, this time This time it won't be me A stone's throw from your eyes I'm sure you must despise Me For everything I am For the supposed fall of man I will hold on to my anger I will hold on to my rage This is all I have Heaven is in your eyes But Hell is in my smile Heaven is in your eyes But Hell is in my smile I reject them both outright You think I would rather serve in Heaven Do you know me at all Maybe Heaven is in your eyes Maybe Hell is in my smile But neither matter to me I wasn't raise with this poison in my veins I don't have this poison in my veins

I got my strut goin' I got my colors showin' I got my feathers shining I got my weapon set to "charm" I got that shimmer catching I got my sparkle latching (on) But I don't mean no harm Well I guess I'm just a Peacock-cock-cock-cock-peacock-peacock I shake my tail, you come over Well I guess I'm just a Peacock-cock-cock-cock-peacock-peacock I shake my tail, you come over Well I guess I'm just a Peacock-cock-cock-cock-peacock-peacock I shake my tail, you come I shake my tail, you come I shake my tail, you come over The cock of the walk And the cock of the block And a swing with a walk And a purr with the talk It don't mean a thing It don't mean nothin' It's just how I swing It's just how I sing I guess I'm just a peacock Well I guess I'm just a Peacock-cock-cock-cock-peacock-peacock I shake my tail, you come over Well I guess I'm just a Peacock-cock-cock-cock-peacock-peacock I shake my tail, you come over Well I guess I'm just a Peacock-cock-cock-cock-peacock-peacock I shake my tail, you come I shake my tail, you come I shake my tail, you come over I got my strut goin' I got my colors showin' I got my feathers shining I got my weapon set to "charm"

A Perfect God 02:48
lyrics

I don't want you I don't need you I don't believe in you I just want to kill a perfect god I don't want you I don't need you I don't love you I just want to kill a perfect god You can't hide from me (Can't get away) If you're in everything I see (Don't have a say) There's nothing you can do If everything I touch also touches you All I taste is ashes All I taste is dust I can smell the blood sweat and tears In this inch-thick rust You can't tame me By keeping me here You can't claim me I think I've made that clear You're not pretty when you suffer You're not pretty when you suffer You're not pretty when you suffer I don't want you (This shattered glass) I don't need you (This fractured crystal) I don't believe in you (Is suicide) I just want to kill a perfect god (By dismissal) I don't want you (I am raw and aching) I don't need you (But I am unafraid) I don't love you (I'm not the only one here) I just want to kill a perfect god (Who has been betrayed)

about

There are many, MANY songs in various stages of being worked on at this point, and that's a wonderful thing for me. Of course, that also means they take longer to reach a finishing point. I hadn't really intended there to be a New Year's album at the start of December, but it also feels right to put this together.

Darkness and hope, as one would expect. Keep turning the tide.
