Entrails decorate the walls
Splatters of combustion lining these halls
Whispers beckon here in this domicile
Let's make sure your end is worthwhile
Welcome to the show
You can never go
Beyond the gate, into our lair, you've been led astray
And let me tell you, baby, we won't have it any other way

Steven slept in safe and soundly
Under Shirley's somniluquoy
Uninvited clairvoyance
Polluted Theo's fingerprints
Nell and Luke breathed clarity
In haunting singularity
Beneath the walls of their abode
Souls and essence decompose
The first was young Miss Grattan
She tried not to let him in
He stabbed her with a corn knife
That's how his crimes began...
The next was Grandma Grattan
So old and tired and gray
She f'it off her attacker
Until his strength gave way
Nelly's in the red room, Nelly's in the red room
Ooh wah-ooh
This house is like a body made up
Of it's eyes, it's bones and skin
We existed oblivious to
Our digestion from deep within
The Dudleys tried to warn her
Now Mom's backed into a corner
Wicked whispers influence
The preservation of innocence

The next was Grandpa Grattan
A-settin' by the fire
He came up close behind him
And strangled him with wire...
The last was Baby Grattan
All in his trundle bed
He stove him in the short ribs
Until that child was dead
Nelly's in the red room, Nelly's in the red room
Ooh wah-ooh
Spirits, wishes, secrets
Absolute reality, welcome home
Silence lay heavily upon
The wood and stone making up this carcass
Whatever walked there walked alone
Some things can't be told

Violet shades, golden gaze
Better days another way
Lost extinction, moving on
A bold distinction, right and wrong
Fall from grace, burn this place
Better days in your embrace
They can't take what we make
What we've made or what we save
Violet shades, golden gaze
Better days another way
Fall from grace, burn this place
Better days in your embrace
Lost extinction, moving on
A bold distinction, right and wrong
Karabast, make it last
The iridescent die is cast
Ignite the spark, overturn the dark
Hand in hand when it all falls apart
I love you, I need you now
Lost extinction, moving on
A bold distinction, right and wrong
Karabast, make it last
The iridescent die is cast
An amorous path was lit
Restricted by a counterfeit
Setting suns, time to commit
Forgive, forget, this is it
Derelict imperial
So surreal how old wounds heal
Planetary ferris wheel,
Take me higher, together we'll
Colorize the universe
Twist their arms 'till they disperse
Severe grips of mindless hate
Acclimate, devaluate,
Ignite the spark, overturn the dark
Hand in hand when it all falls apart
I love you, I need you now
Violet shades, golden gaze
Better days another way
Fall from grace, burn this place
Better days in your embrace
Lost extinction, moving on
A bold distinction, right and wrong
Karabast, make it last
The iridescent die is cast
Ignite the spark, overturn the dark
Hand in hand when it all falls apart
I love you, I need you now

Night At The Overlook
01:04
|
|||
|
The walls are closing in around me
They tell me to correct my family
Drove all this way for a new beginning
It's driven me insane
Evil lurks among these hallways
They say that I've been here always
All work, no play makes me a dull boy
But we're here so let's just enjoy
One night at the Overlook Hotel
Buried secrets line this void of frigid isolation
While the dead walk, live and thrive among these catacombs of hospitality
This place is dark and vile
And it emanates with style
It's a nexus for malevolence
It's our home
Evil lurks among these hallways
They say that I've been here always
All work, no play makes me a dull boy
But we're here so let's just enjoy
One night at the Overlook Hotel
One week at the Overlook Hotel
Just a few months at the Overlook Hotel
Eternity at the Overlook Hotel

Separation Anxiety

One spine firmly planted
Between whatever seems to me is real
I've got an itchy finger
The only thing that I can feel
I can't recall what came before
Let alone what is to come
Deteriorating in the door
I absently succumb
Hello, goodbye, I don't know why, I can feel it from within
I'm tearing at the seams and I don't know when it's supposed to end
Even a body will do
Just a body will do
Yes, a body will do
Even a body will be just fine
Beyond the painted windows
Recalculate a mind
Benumbed, lost and forgotten
Just a pestilence of time
Parables of hibernation
Cloaked in frigid isolation
Breathing slows, unbeknownst
To this reality filtration
Hello, goodbye, I don't know why, I can feel it from within
I'm tearing at the seams and I don't know when it's supposed to end
Even a body will do
Just a body will do
Yes, a body will do
Even a body will be just fine
Embody a putrescent shell
That nobody can see
Severed from myself and all that
Manifests itself as me
Hello, goodbye, I don't know why, I can feel it from within
I'm tearing at the seams and I don't know when it's supposed to end
Even a body will do
Just a body will do
Yes, a body will do
Even a body will be just fine

Well, hi there!
Welcome home, take my hand
I have roamed across the land
To taste the fog, embrace your steam
Swallow your every dream
Eat well, stay young, live long
Stay young, live long, redrum
Oh when you've lived for 200 Years
Among a plain interlinear
Tell me what you wouldn't give
To taste a world that shines again
We the fortunate, we are the chosen
What is tied cannot be untied
I have sensed a resurgence
This dehydration nears an end
We'll eat their steam, lap up their blood
Drink their screams out of the mud
Eat well, stay young, live long
Stay young, live long, redrum
Oh when you've lived for 200 Years
Among a plain interlinear
Tell me what you wouldn't give
To taste a world that shines again
Here we stand, won't you join us?
Would you tie your life to ours?
No!
I'm not the last, I'm just the prettiest
Who on earth do you think you are?
A superstar?
Well, right you are
Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun

Ahsoka

Wandering my path alone
Continuity unknown
Melancholy to this transition out of grandeur
Through a desolate void buried between shadows
Haunted in complacency
By darkness and it's agency
The price of my wisdom was the end of it all
The doom and strangulation of a fabricated universe
Ahsoka!
Whispers of reality
Erasing personality
Hunted by shattered silhouettes
It's time to stand up, time to beset
Severed skies, broken stars
Set ablaze by what we are
A conspiracy built upon your very guise
Ignited in pyrrhic genocide
Ahsoka!
"Revenge is not the Jedi way."
"I am no Jedi."
Severed skies, broken stars
Set ablaze by what we are
A conspiracy built upon your very guise
Ignited in pyrrhic genocide
Whispers of reality
Erasing personality
Hunted by shattered silhouettes
It's time to stand up, time to beset
Ahsoka!

Jesus Was A Space Jockey
03:23

Jesus was a Space Jockey
Christ was an Engineer
The Mala'kak of Nazareth
Crucified and left for death
Jesus was a Space Jockey
Descending from His Planet Four
We affronted Him with hate and war
Now Jesus doesn't want us anymore
Water to wine, stardust to dust
Greed, sloth, gluttony, envy, pride and lust
Invoked a holy wrath when we left Him to die
This time, there's no place to hide
Sculpted in flesh, engineered in His blood
Mutated by sin, we fester where He stood
He's the son, He's the one, He is the way from outer space
We defiled His grace and now we pay
Jesus was a Space Jockey
Christ was an Engineer
The Mala'kak of Nazareth
Crucified and left for death
Jesus was a Space Jockey
Descending from His Planet Four
We affronted Him with hate and war
Now Jesus doesn't want us anymore
Crown of thorns laid against a visage of God
He illuminated the fate of all, we crossed our arms and yawned
Jesus wept tears of blackened rage
Doom impends, He'll put an end to man's age
Jesus was a Space Jockey
Christ was an Engineer
The Mala'kak of Nazareth
Crucified and left for death
Jesus was a Space Jockey
We affronted Him with hate and war
He saved us all, we wanted more
Now Jesus will return with wrath and war

War Of The Monsters

This world is a playground, a battlefront for the unknown
Descending from the stars
Rise upon our ruin
An invasion of mutated and the misunderstood
Thirsty for fire and blood
Hey!
Run, run for your life
There's nothing that can save you from this fate that you've created
Creatures reign, the war is here
And whoever wins, we lose
War! War! War! War!
Extraterrestrial pandemonium
We brought this on ourselves
Metamorphosis of carnage, the end is here
Embrace eradication, no escape from the eye of this storm
This is war
Run, run for your life
There's nothing that can save you from this fate that you've created
Creatures reign, the war is here
And whoever wins, we lose
Run, run for your life
There's nothing that can save you from this fate that you've created
Creatures reign, the war is here
And whoever wins, we lose

Acrophobia, arachnaphobia
Six-hundred four feet empty beneath me
Guess I'm always meant to die
They never tell me why
Emerald expressions cast a final gaze
Those haunting eyes of gold
A thousand stories all end the same
The Hudson's never felt so cold
The finale of this nightmare is a long way down,
This time, will I splat or break?
My descent seems morbidly familiar now
This must be the night that I died
Vision blurs as I drift away
This can't be it, I'll make it out some way
The lights go out, I see the end
Over and over and over again
This is the night
That Gwen Stacy died
Again tonight
Always the same plight
This is the night
That Gwen Stacy dies
Let's do it one more time
Thanatophobia, eisoptrophobia
121 issues aren't a lifetime
I am born only to die
I don't get to know why
Descend to darkness all alone again
Crooked reflections on the other end
Tonight I die, the cycle begins
Over and over and over again
This is the night
That Gwen Stacy died
Again tonight
Always the same plight
This is the night
That Gwen Stacy dies
Let's do it one more time
My gravestone is concentric
My death a diluted ripple
Just an existential undulation
Of cosmic recycled cremation
I must exist for more than this
I must exist for more than this
This is the night
That Gwen Stacy died
Again tonight
Always the same plight
This is the night
That Gwen Stacy dies
Let's do it one more time
This is the night
That Gwen Stacy died
Again tonight
Always the same plight
This is the night
Of one demise
Let's do it one more time
(I must exist for more than this)
This is the night
This is the night
(I must exist for more than this)
This is the night
This is the night
(I must exist for more than this)
This is the night
This is the night
(I must exist)
Tonight's the night

Into The Further
02:07
|
|||
|
There's a place behind your consciousness
I wandered in last night
Among the darkness of this limbo
Where souls shouldn't walk until they die
They can hear me, they can smell me
Want my body, so they tell me
Now I'm lost and I'm alone
Hope this lantern guides me home
Into the Further, into the Further we go
They've got me in their clutches and nobody even knows
Into the Further, into the Further we go
Beyond the red door and through the tulips, we'll tiptoe
This isn't a coma, I'm clinging to my life
And the parasites of this dimension are closing in tonight
My heartbeat whets their appetite, their grip gets tighter the more I fight
Now a voice is calling out to me and everyone heard, it's time
Into the Further, into the Further we go
They want to steal my mortal vessel and they won't let go
Into the Further, into the Further we go
Beyond the red door and through the tulips, we'll tiptoe
Now he's here
The man with fire on his face
He wants only to cause pain
And to lock me in this place
My loved ones try to reach me
But I know that it's no use
There are lipstick bruises on my soul
And he won't cut me loose
I saw him standing over my body
While I slept in the comfort of my bed
I should've known I wasn't dreaming when I first heard the broken screaming
Now this is my home, forever among the dead
Into the Further, into the Further we go
A world beyond our own, beyond time and beyond hope
Into the Further, into the Further we go
I wandered too far, now this spectral wasteland is my home
Into the Further, into the Further we go
My life force has faded, now I take my place within the shadows
Further, into the Further we go
Beyond the red door and through the tulips, we tiptoed

The Prople Tampa, Florida
The Prople play great music. Generally, as their tunes grace mortal existence, talent overflows the world, beginning at their fingertips and ending at your eye sockets, ideally dodging your ears.
The Prople recommends:
Roses in Roswell
by West Brooks
This entire album sounds like it was recorded inside of a haunted attraction on Valentine's Day. A rare treat of a star athlete being exactly as proficient with a guitar as they are with a football.

Ate My Pizza! EP
by The Antidon'ts
Almost 100% of our music is actually supposed to be a direct rip-off of this EP, but since we aren't talented enough to even vaguely pull it off, we just sound like The Prople. The Antidon'ts are HOT!

The Experience
by Markky Karloff
Electropunk love songs about long torsos by creatures who lurk between the crevices... The Experience is the unfiltered soundtrack to existence in sum.
