Conjecture - lyrics by Mark Calabio
Empty spacesBetween two points and such
Converged traces
Intimately close yet do not touch
Oscillé...
Suprema
Infima
Empty faces
Although two bodies touch
Diverged complacence
Infinitely verbose yet do not much
Oscillé...
Suprema
Infima
An essence of shadows and spirits are we
But drawing lines and limits makes sense to me
We're bounded by three, just you and me, baby
But all we can agree upon is incongruency
Father Time, the geezer's dragging me down
With the pendulum he's swinging around
You said to me, "You're the only one for me"
But all we can agree upon is incongruency, yeah
Oscillé...
Infinitesimally alone
Lemonade - lyrics by Mark Calabio
Sourly, you go into battleArmed with a cup of lemonade
So grand with your stand
Please allow me to admire your parade
Take a swig with me
Come on and pour another glass
With a little bit of sugar and a couple of ice cubes
And another more would be nice
Have a little bit of lemon
Squeeze me a lemon
You are tempting me
A sour way to blow my cash
And I look into my wallet and my dollars are gone...
Into the summer abyss
Into a river of lemon juice and piss
Take a look at what you've made
Take a swig with me
Come on and pour another glass
With a little bit of sugar and a couple of ice cubes
And another more would be nice
Have a little bit of lemon
Squeeze me a lemon
You are tempting me
A sour way to blow my cash
And I look into my wallet and my dollars are gone...
Into the summer abyss
Into a river of lemon juice and piss
I remember summer sun
Swamp-ass indoors, cracked lips, and sandy tongue
A river of sweat that flowed through my pits
Touching the fan with my pinky for fun
Take a swig with me...
Long Distance Call (from Grandma) - lyrics by Mark Calabio
Long Distance Call on the phone todayShe said she had something quite dear to say
A wait in her heart when she went away
So she's sending fome love here from Grandma
She only intended warmth for me
But burned me when giving so selflessly
And that's why she's sending me rolls and tea
This time with no pain from Grandma
No need to apologize
When I see only love in your eyes
And how could I ever resent
When I've always held close the sentiment
Grandma, I'll always remember you
I miss you but know I'll be with you soon
And give my regards to Grandpa too
He's lucky to be with you Grandma
He's loving this loving from Grandma

The Four of Us Are Dying - lyrics by Mark Calabio
A man has just checked inNewspaper clippings 'round the bed
Master plan of destroying lives in his head
That stealing is a sin
Is just a little joke to him
His every hearts' desire is what he will win
Look into my eyes
And you shall see that I'm not me
I live life masquerading as if I were three
Tonight what will I be
The choices mine. My destiny
Is solitary fatality, immortality
The four of us are dying
As I'm shot now lying down
The four of us are dying
Look at the punk
The four of us are dying
As I lay here crying now
The four of us are dying
Look at the monster
Living as a lie
Why not a beautiful dame
Westbound for Chicago, we'll take the train
I never had a dish
Like that why not the girl my wish
Not taking the advantage now that would be insane
A son should know his father
I gotta get out of this joint
Sanity is pulling me toward gunpoint
Trapped in a cold river
They hate my guts misunderstood
Lousy swim especially when you're almost out of blood
The four of us are dying
As I'm shot now lying down
The four of us are dying
Look at the punk
The four of us are dying
As I lay here crying now
The four of us are dying
Look at the monster
I just have to concentrate . . .
The Dirge of Captain Diddles - lyrics by Mark Calabio
Came sailing along on the sea of grassWhilst singing a song that our love will last
Came into our hands joy for you and for me
But did not understand how foolish we be
To sail into the UV sun his desire
Domestication's evil's did conspire
That he would not eat, live, love, nor be
The loveliest lizard for you and me
Now sailing along on that distant sea
Now singing this song with our energy
Went off his chart with life's misery
But he lives in my heart Captain Diddles, you're free
Unconventional Love - lyrics by Kris Calabio, additional lyrics by Michelle Louden and Mark Calabio
Let me ask you something babyWon't you do a favor for me
Please don't be alarmed now baby
Unconventional Love to be
It's like this, I want you to close your fucking eyes
Open your mouth and spread your sweaty thighs
Rub my kneecaps as I pee
And when I'm done, you're gonna give me some head
While you clean the dust from under my bed
Irresistible, Unconventional Love is for me
(Unconventional Love is for me)
Let me lick your elbows, baby
(Unconventional Love for me please)
Sucking on your eyeballs, baby
Your ankles look so luscious honey
With your socks pulled all the way down
Your nose oozes with sexiness honey
Earlobes contain delights to be found
I want you to pick my navel as I sneeze
Clip my toenails as I'm eating cheese
Squirt my eyebrows with Febreeze©
Suck my fish under covers yeah
Tuck my covers yeah
With your fingers yeah
The ones that I don't have
Irresistible, Unconventional Love for me please
(Unconventional Love is for me)
Let me pull your earlobe, baby
(Unconventional Love for me please)
Won't you caress my knuckles, baby
You know what I want more than anything right now?
I want you to cover my elbows with hummus
Feel or Forget - lyrics by Michelle Louden
Should have listened when they told me,"You're a dreamer this won't last."
Never thought good times would end so fast
You ran away before we finished
Holding on for a place in my life
Every time you called a twist of the knife
Make me want you make me need
Make me remember how it used to be
But I want to heal you make me bleed
Everyday hanging to the past
Let me go I need to move on
Waiting for the day that you will be gone
Hide my past away from my own mind
Denying the depth of my fears
I could listen to my emotions
After so many years
Rage and jealousy I've never known
Haunting my thoughts every day
Keep me up at night screaming and drowning
Take him away
(It hurts) Knowing you want me
(It hurts) You wouldn't tell me
You tell me you're with another lady
I tell you I have another man
But her pretty eyes enrage me again
The truth is I can't handle you
I don't know what I am
Deindividuated and alone
Body wracked with sobs and cries
Feeding histrionic lies
Every day a part of me dies
Memories fade and repression hits
Uneasy sleep and depressed nights
Flash of desire, and I lose the fight
You steal the hearts of other women
But never returned mine
They told me I'd forget all about you
With time
I could search my heart for my emotions
You already know what's in there
I would kill just to tell you what I fell
It's not fair
(It hurts) Why won't you leave me?
(It hurts) I wish you'd leave me
(It hurts) Knowing I want you
(It hurts) And never told you
Running away, holding me back
Dragging me down
Breaking my heart, taking my love
Haunting my mind
Eliciting lust, my body remembers and
I can't forget
I want it so badly
I want you to feel how it hurts
Sons of Mr. Spanky - lyrics by Mark Calabio
From the depths of Father's lairWe have come to be your players
Tonight your pleasure is our wish
Only then will food meet our dish
Stick around and you will see
That we do not wish to be
Bad children that think, dream, aspire
His every word be our desire
Follow us into our world
Where our own dreams are not unfurled
We do not see the light of day
And we don't have our way
We are the Sons of Mr. Spanky
We feel pain no more
We are the Sons of Mr. Spanky
We are Daddy's little whores
The leather and chains around our hands
Are there for him to understand
That we are his and his only
A perfect loving matrimony
We have no desire to cry
Cause I am Father's cherry pie
The fire of his joy and glee
The objects of his fantasy
He is the master, we the slaves
We will play if we misbehave
Be bad, naughty, stubborn, or dim
We must appease him
Why do I feel that this is not completely wrong
And with a leash around my stiff neck, I sing a song?
I am not insane, crazy, misguided, wacky
I am a good boy, I just want to make him happy
I was conceived for this
Diddled and trained for this
Yet he won't even give me a good night's kiss
Is there something that we missed?
Big Bad Evil Serpent Man - lyrics by Mark Calabio
It was the Big Bad Evil Serpent ManThat's stuck inside of my head
I'm just a part of some evil plan
That wishes good to be dead
Oh since the first little thing he said to me
Some people may say I'm misled
Well kindness and good deeds are done with me
So I listen to his promise instead
Now as I walk through the darkened city streets
I smile knowing what is in store
Treasures and riches now obsolete
Desires like nothing before
It was the Big Bad Evil Serpent Man
That made me point at his head
It's just a trigger between me and this little man
So I laughed at the night as he bled
See me, hear me
Knowing all that I do
Feel me, fear me
My next target is you
Welcome to my world of fear and pain
It's evil and greed I adore
Love and honor I do disdain
With selflessness I've left at the door
It was the first little thing you said to me
That had me thinking this way
My plan it's just a little game, you see
So bite the bullet, shut up, and play
Hoards of minions are at my command
Armies you cannot defeat
All that is evil lies in my hands
The darkest shadows bow to my feet
To think that you can kill my army of fear and pain
Would be a feat that I would adore
But it's impossible, indeed I do explain
So I suppose I'll leave your corpse on the floor
You are just a prisoner to me
In the island of My Mind
What you think you are you cannot be
So we leave it all behind
Look at the Little Evil Serpent Man
Who's trapped inside of my head
Look at his little evil serpent plan
Look at how soon it will be dead
It was the Big Bad Evil Serpent Man
That was stuck inside of my head
No longer a part of his evil plan
That wishes good to be dead
It was the Big Bad Evil Serpent Man
That made me point at my head
Just a trigger between me and this little man
So I laughed at the night as we bled

Bambola Vivente - lyrics by Michelle Louden
Ancheggia come una bellacammina a testa alta
sii' una maledetta
viziosa ma sempre carina
il mondo di scintillio, di brutalita'
rompi il suo ego nella terra
ti metti il tuo sguardo minaccioso (Ha!)
ti vesti in abito da sera
Ancheggia come una bella
cammina a testa alta
sii' una maledetta
viziosa ma sempre carina
guarda tutte le donne belle
non possono scappare
solo una sara' la vincitrice
tutto quello che vuoi essere
ancheggia come una bella
con gli occhi di una maledetta
le labre sono soffici gli occhi sono pieni di
malizia e fuocho, la pelle e luminoso
io volevo essere la eleta
invece sono diventata
una donna perfida
mi vesto in abito da sera
ancheggia come una bella
con gli occhi di una maledetta
le labre sono soffici gli occhi sono pieni di
malizia e fuocho, la pelle e luminoso
io non voglio essere
una delle donne perfide
non sono la vincitrice
voglio gridare
io volevo essere la eleta
invece sono diventata
una donna perfida
mi vesto in abito da sera
ancheggia come una bella
con gli occhi di una maledetta
le labre sono soffici gli occhi sono pieni di
malizia e fuocho, la pelle e luminoso
io non voglio essere
una delle donne perfide
non sono la vincitrice
voglio gridare
le labre sono soffici gli occhi sono pieni di
malizia e fuocho, la pelle e luminoso
io non voglio essere
una delle donne perfide
non sono la vincitrice
voglio gridare
