lyrics

Baltimore, Baltimore!
If hell has a basement it’s Baltimore!
Vainglory and excess
unite in my heart- in Baltimore

Hopelessly waiting like rats for the dawn intangible dreams are melting like snow
Desperate eyes and looks of betrayal
Like swine gathered ‘round the trite trough of Tantalus

Drive by shooting-
3am love letters
to the lord of death
Heavy bass blows the trumpet
another devils earns its wings

Back street basement bacchanal-
green rain and golden shower
diaspora and dying dignity
sucking dick for the lie of the day

Cancer and sore beneath trembling promise, a beckoning whore with festering sores!
Shadow and poison, mirrors and smoke-
and under it all lies a graveyard of pleasure.

A thousand serpents all writhing together, though void in their hearts and their words and their eyes; while scale rubs on scale and venom grows weak, blood becomes thin, like water through vein.

Baltimore.

If hell has a basement it’s Baltimore.

If hell has a hell, then it’s Baltimore.
