History of a Drowning Boy

from The Erebus and the Terror by Jonestown

/

lyrics

Born, Violence, wall to wall in a haze of apathy
Dreams of kindness, on the chopping board of childhood
Mother, of violence, she’s welcomed on every continent
Role model centurion, crucify me

Base, cocaine and cum-shots make me feel
Like a child lost in the gallery
Father feed on me
Mother I’m not guilty

No shame, it’s all been abandoned
So I dance with the masochists
And embrace all my history
Get fucked by the sadists
And swallow the bitterness
Down, down, down and down

Gone, all hope of redemption
Gone, bastards always win
Gone, my dreams are always dead
Gone, the good in me

Gone, all hope of redemption
Gone, bastards always win
Gone, my dreams are always dead
Gone, the good in me

Isaac should have slayed Abraham, for the murder in his heart
Revenge paramount by masterpiece, callous euphoric agony
Years in awe at the emptiness and ruthlessness you’ve shown
The god transference Caligula, patricidal irony

The pieces fit.
