I'd rather give back to the dirt. Mate with the trees that helped me breathe. Taxiderm my remains and go on display. A sort of mantlepiece. Fix, Discomforting. Taxiderm my remains and go on display. A second guess isn't divine reflex. I'm not looking for a hole in the sky. I'm looking for a hole in the ground. Hole in the ground, not in the sky.

Dig if you will the picture Of you and I engaged in a kiss The sweat of your body covers me Can you my darling Can you picture this? Dream, if you can, a courtyard An ocean of violets in bloom Animals strike curious poses They feel the heat The heat between me and you How can you just leave me standing Alone in a world that's so cold? (So cold) Maybe I'm just too demanding Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold Maybe you're just like my mother She's never satisfied (she's never satisfied) Why do we scream at each other? This is what it sounds like When doves cry Touch if you will my stomach Feel how it trembles inside You've got the butterflies all tied up Don't make me chase you Even doves have pride How could you just leave me standing Alone in a world so cold? (World so cold) Maybe I'm just too demanding Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold Maybe you're just like my mother She's never satisfied (she's never satisfied) Why do we scream at each other? This is what it sounds like When doves cry How can you just leave me standing Alone in a world that's so cold? (A world that's so cold) Maybe I'm just too demanding (maybe, maybe I'm like my father) Maybe I'm just like my father too bold (you know he's too bold) Maybe you're just like my mother (maybe you're just like my mother) She's never satisfied (she's never, never satisfied) Why do we scream at each other? (Why do we scream, why) This is what it sounds like When doves cry When doves cry (doves cry, doves cry) When doves cry (doves cry, doves cry) Don't cry (don't cry)

Lo, she bears a rake! The instrument of ruination Sowing seeds of disease All along her path O, how beautiful! The flower of annihilation Yersinia in bloom Full, each season passed Tails wound tightly In death spiral Crowning the corpse At which they gnaw Bound together In their grave pit Unmasked they sing "Freedom at last!"

If I escape from this killer's claws Drain all her blood it has fed my desire The savagery is such a part of me Unleash a clone to evade hellish fires Drift with ease into the sedative Elevate all of my senses Screaming heart left defenseless Offer my seed to her sword How I conform in shades and in storms Drink from her rain when it's burning and acid I'm under the light I'm swallowed and tranquil Demon revealed when its skin mask was melted Drift with ease into the sedative Elevate all of my senses Screaming heart left defenseless Offer my seed to her sword This is The cruelest cut Defeat Lies in her cusp

The songs, they know I guess I've just always been here I've been to the moon when it's full I'm sleeping alone when it's cold The songs, they know I guess I've just always been here The songs, they know I guess I've just always been here Make easy for me whats made hard I slide against walls, cause I won't talk The songs, they know I guess I've just always been here credits

I don’t like it / Drag me in your rut, while you’re making these rounds / Triple upper cut, show while taking me down / I don’t like it / You don’t take care of me, like some memory / You just get rid of me / Lies to make you nut, just like owning downtown / Easy fucking luck, show while taking me down / You don’t take care of me / You just get rid of me

Rising from the water Suddenly you float through a cloud Follow the color Creating pattern Sailing through the void between the stars Swimming into ether Singing otherworldly sounds Galaxy upon us I wont lead the pod aground Change the season Awake feeling The echo steering me with sound Swimming into ether Singing otherworldly sounds

This is a thing I've never known before It's called easy livin' This is a place I've never seen before And I've been forgiven Easy livin' and I've been forgiven Since you've taken your place in my heart Somewhere along the lonely road I had tried to find you Day after day on that windy road I had walked behind you Easy livin' and I've been forgiven Since you've taken your place in my heart Waiting, watching Wishing my whole life away Dreaming, thinking Ready for my happy day And some easy livin' Somewhere along the lonely road I had tried to find you Day after day on that windy road I had walked, walked behind you Easy livin' and I've been forgiven Since you've taken your place in my heart Easy livin' and I've been forgiven Since you've taken your place in my heart

You don't know for sure Heave it up and don't know what to do with it So you hurt me more Can't apply the lesson where the truth begins We got so along I don't know what's wrong So you'll watch me go So you'll watch me go I mean it, I'm leaving So you'll watch me go You don't know for sure Beat it up and don't know what to do with it So insult me more Trail the lies then blow it where the truth begins We meant all there was Now I suck on flaws I don't know for sure Why I gave it more So you'll watch me go So you'll see me go I mean it, I'm leaving And you'll watch me go credits

There is a place beyond the moon An island in an ocean of light. And if you hold your hands in truths There is a fountain, the fountain of youth. The confusion of time and death As it falls through your hands. The illusion of Jesus before you And visions from heavens above. Purging all who have left us behind With guns to their hearts. There's a kingdom inside to protect from destruction And reign. Dangling from the wrecking ball unchained. But you don't know when is the end. When you don't know where you've been before And you don't know where you will be going again You just stand there with the weight on your toes. Staring down from the ends if the Earth at the hellions below you Fearing the shadows. It is a place inside your heart Where nothing can trespass A heaven inside. There is a place beyond the moon An island in an ocean of light. And if you hold your hands in truths There is a fountain, the fountain of youth. It is a place inside your heart Where nothing can trespass. A heaven inside. And if you come up empty Don't say I didn't turn around. Dangling from the wrecking ball unchained.

Today I said only pleasant things Smiled at strangers And they'd give one back to me Confessed a love That was only for myself Now I feel guilty Guilty Guilty Today my face beamed And betrayed how I felt Didn't envy Didn't wish for something else Said what I meant In a less than passive way Convinced myself That blind confidence would help Still I feel guilty Guilty Guilty With my nails unkempt and frail I carve my name And claim what no one else will Silence Silence Time is long and lonely When you realize Survival means marching To the sound of a prosthetic heart

I'm here to fail you forever Once all that's good is leached and gone Without a breath of hesitation The sinking drag of our tether A frail bond becomes the cost To know the beauty in loss Extinguished eyes Come commiserate In agonies name We writhe Writhe A covenant that'll never change Nothing is lost if nothings saved Adoring face of devastation In misery's deathless devotion Words are all I have left to hold on to Let go There's a lesson Thread the needle Love is worthless

I thought I was brave Sought to heal the wounds I made with those beyond the grave No one ever warned me they were Waiting Baiting Whispers in my ear, make a connection Infection I let them in I let them through Now I’m dragging all my ghouls around Terror from beyond I can’t get out Have I gone insane? Those I’ve wronged have thrown me in a supernatural game All for an impossible justice Trusted I chose selfish gain now I am wanted Haunted Upside-down and on their cross Now I’m dragging all my ghouls around Shaken to acknowledge them Ashamed to ignore Now I’m dragging all my ghouls around Terror from beyond I can’t get out Now I’m dragging all my ghouls around I’m shaken to acknowledge them and ashamed to ignore

about

Over 50 new, exclusive and classic tracks from the entire roster of Brutal Panda Records. 2023 marks the 15-year anniversary of the label which is a bittersweet occasion as co-founder, Mike Lara, unexpectedly passed away in the Summer of 2022.

The incredible artwork, designed by Orion Landau (Red Fang, YOB, Russian Circles), is a homage to Mike... a cosmic Taurus who loved the desert, had impeccable taste in music, and continues to inspire us to this day.

100% of proceeds raised from the digital comp will benefit Save The Music (www.savethemusic.org), a non-profit delivering equitable access to music education for millions of students nationwide across the US.

Thanks for celebrating 15 Years of Brutality with us and diving into the Pantheon of Panda.
