Next level lyrical insight is a moment away.
Lyrical Analysis of...
Canister
- Tape entry number one
- I'm lost between deciding a machete, a gun
- A petrol canister, a knife, or a club
- Whichever way it's done, I'm getting locked up
- I spent a few hours last night praying to stars but none of them come
- My mind couldn't change the Father, so I hope to God that His son sees
- Because I've felt that I've drowned in water despite how the Sun beams
- Some see clearly but I just feel like I'm uneven
- But fuck it, if I smother this home in Holy Water &see how the Sun breathes
- Flames decorating the wood beams
- It could be that your end is brought by your own ease
- Death secured by the home that secured you once before
- Charcoal body embodies the floor
- The pictures that depict everybody you thought
- To hold dearest, the ones you loved or those who grow nearest
- My love will grow fierce
- Tell me whats thicker
- The blood or the dumb bitch that
- Thought it'd be a good idea to poke sticks at
- The person who'd have traversed to the edge of this Earth
- A person who stood amidst all the grit you dispersed
- And all the shit that you had to give, you just relentlessly hurt
- Him, so now it's murder, murder
- Let your sins fall victim to this oil that burns ya
- And if you ever plead for mercy or forgiveness from this burning
- Just remember every word and everything you did's deserving
- Of bottomless pits, Heaven was never meant for burdens
- So as I walk across the lawn
- A lamppost glows in the distance to forbid the dawn
- An orange light flows upon the hand that has the canister drawn
- And in my mind I tell myself I'm ready for war
- Like Alexander the Great or lesser greats who never made it in songs...
- I inhale the air around me
- It's astounding just how much a few seconds count and
- I wish I had a thousand
- Because I know in the future I'll just recount this
- How much I'll hate myself for burning down your house
- But a trick with courage is just pushing yourself beyond return
- So if you stick on the verge of lunging deeper into murder
- Everything will just relieve you of its purpose
- And if you go back then, life will be a circle
- A victim to a rebel til it swings and you've returned
- So this is tape entry number two
- Tape number one foretold what's to come, this one'll see you
- So I happen upon your front door
- I ponder on whether to come forth
- Knock twice or walk around the corner towards
- The entry confined by your dumb porch
- It leaves me an obstacle that's soon rendered obsolete
- I only have to climb some feet
- And then an open window only serves to prevents retreat
- I seize the opportunity to climb within and the canister I tossed beneath
- My ears sink into a pit of silence that speaks louder
- Than anyone would ever think, my hands grip around the
- Hook of the canister I had tipped against the widest
- Wall that supported a Crucifix
- The son of God's arms spread out like wings amidst the brewing pit
- My head sunk toward my chest, I must confess I'm due to sin
- But nobody, you or Him can stop me from going through with it
- I don't intend to wake so I decorate your floorboards
- Oil spills towards the wood served up within your halls
- It only took me a few minutes til I was finished
- I make my way out the same entrance that served as your sentence
- But first I must strike the match against the box
- And so I do for a flame to latch upon
- For only it to be tossed
- And let me tell you that there's nothing more pure or sweeter
- Than a fire that soars within halls, to just be breathing
- Down previously painted walls and then the screaming
- Pleading for mercy and not even the Crucifix could halt the Demons
- I make my way back to my car, and I'm setting on off
- In the rear view I can still hear you
- You didn't scream my name, plead to God as it neared you
- The flames cleansed your body in Lucifer's light
- The kiss of death blessed over you as the Sun grew through the night
- And the orange helm cast over the room I ignited
- I'm sorry to say God is merciful and I'm just a tyrant
- So pay your penance with him and maybe I will in time...
