The Fall of the Empire

I tried so hard to hold it all together
in the end it meant nothing at all
I pushed so hard to make you all remember
a time when it was one for all
you were convinced you had all the answers
you were sure you had figured it out
you thought you knew the dirty little secrets
I always knew that you were part of the con
I never thought I’d be the one who fell apart
I never thought I’d be the one who couldn’t take it
I never thought I’d be the one to tear it down
I never thought I’d be the one who had to break it
I never thought I’d be the one you pushed aside
I never thought I’d be the one you suffocated
I never thought I’d be the one that you took out
I never thought I’d be the one you subjugated
you breached the walls, stepped into the temple
you desecrate the hallowed halls
you take by force, you try to disassemble
everything you claim to love
may thy knife chip and shatter
if you’re convinced that battle is near
predictably you drive toward disaster
expecting me to intervene
I was witness to the fall of the empire
I was there on the day that it fell

la la la la la
I go outside but I cant breathe the air
the air of humans is poison
(poison)
unsheathe the dagger
slice on the veins
the blade (blade) cuts are made vertically
so that they can properly drain
if we are friends you give me your pain
if we are not you have nothing to gain
if we are friends you give me your pain
drink, drink
drinking my blood and choke on it
burning witches, hypocrite
hypocrite
through bein undone
summon up god
swallow the sun (amen)
go on, forget
no longer will I be the one (no)
the victim of your false projection
if I cant be me I’d rather be dead than
give you the satisfaction of
turning me into the second hand perspective
that you continually projected into me
yea now you fucked up, never thought I’d be the one
but now I’ve laid out all nine candles
enclosed in the pentagrams with blood
so sick, yea, now you got my soul sick,
gonna wish you hadn’t cause you were cursed before you heard this
crystal trances
isolation isolation
in a word a death instance
what else changes but instinct and a frame of reference
theres nothing else here but agreed upon terms (that you store all in your mind)
please just shut the fuck up all you’re saying is made up words
all four quarters marked in blood,
nothing but dissatisfaction, rage, and bloodlust
I bind you now to the floor
strike of the match, I light myself on fire
& a turn of the knob cause I unlocked all nine doors
nah I ain’t summon satan but I’m gonna summon somethin
bag a weed, at least a zip,
smoke it up and now I’m lit
smoked out draws three sizes
seven sided stars in my blood like I’m a heathen
now I’m so full of this antichrist sustenance
roll up my own death just so I can kill that bitch
isolation

how can I see through your eyes
how can I live when i die every night
I need to sink into you, I need to burn this hate
I need to annihilate
stay with me just a little bit more
a promise I can't dissolve
I can reach to where you are
reach to where you are
break me then make me whole
take me to another realm
I need to melt into you
if I lose everything
burn it all
I finally got a light in me

I could will the whole planet away
if I could shut my eyes
I could take my own life today
but I don’t have the time
I’ve been building my strength back up
so I could hunt you down
if I can’t smoke you out this time
I’ll burn this whole place down
I can’t believe I chose to save your life
after all the pain you caused
I could’ve watched you take your final breath
but I made that deal with god
one more chance and then I’ll walk away
I’ll repent what I said and I’ll even pray
you win, I was wrong again
so I’ll start my life over with a different plan
I just can’t look so close
because I get this way
and now that you're a ghost
I think I need some space
I just can’t escape
from this awful place
I’m always running
but I’m never chased
I always hated your goodness
I always hated your faith
I always hated your innocence
I always hated your parents place

Deceiver

You said you'd never leave me guessing
You manipulated me
You said you’d never leave me hanging
Look at me swinging from this tree
You had me right where you wanted
Whispered words put me at ease
You counteracted my misgivings
So you could put me on my knees
Always an answer to my question
Deception your greatest skill
Fattened up for the slaughter
You moved in for the kill
I know I see understand everything
Now I know I see understand everything
You lied
Back up give me space
Give me room to breathe
Back up give me space
Give me true belief
You lied
I know I see understand everything
Your intentions always hidden
Like a vault without a key
Always playing for advantage
Corruption is all I see
Opacity is your fallback
Conceit in vanity
Look at the walls you erected
As they fall into the sea
You lied
Back up give me space
Give me room to breathe
Back up give me space
Give me true belief
You lied
I know I see understand everything

what can I say about this
that has not yet been said
what other words can sate you
one of these days the whole thing's
gonna burn to the ground
what'll it take to get through
feel it slipping away
see it spiral the drain
we're past the point of containment
watch it come apart
my splintered wooden heart
perfect kindling for your restart
you've come to break my world in two
your plan's unveiled
I’m here to help you to your place
and watch you fail
so many times I’ve wrestled
with the thoughts of the end
everything seems consuming
cycles refreshing testing
leading you to the fray
just as the rank is blooming
the measured lower their heads
brace themselves for the fall
pain's inevitable onset
the rest are shred in half
left to burn like chaff
a blight beneath the epitaph

Trust the Clown

when might makes right you stand and fight
it don’t mean shit if only you can see it
the TV drowns your reason out
you’re upside down sadly you don’t get it
you’ll crash the gates penetrate subjugate
‘cause you’re the ones who see it
you’ll die for lies you’re hypnotized
you’ll fight like hell ‘cause only you can fix it
dead eyed fools who seek the crown
you elevate who keeps you down
forget the bodies on the ground
burn it all raise up the clown
dead eyed fools who seek the crown
you’ll watch it all come crashing down
you never know what’s coming ‘round
fuck it man let’s trust the clown
conspiracy insurgency
revolution the coming of the ending
you feel your hate you take the bait
you seal your fate marching with disaster
now chaos reigns where freedom rang
the hallowed place echo with the footsteps
of the braying sheep the conned and cheap
the half-asleep the deceivers and the traitors
dead eyed fools who seek the crown
you elevate who keeps you down
forget the bodies on the ground
burn it all raise up the clown
dead eyed fools who seek the crown
you’ll watch it all come crashing down
you never know what’s coming ‘round
fuck it man let’s trust the clown
they sow mistrust for what is just
pride and lust are all they’ve ever shown us
they say to us "let it turn to dust"
you placed your trust in those who don’t deserve it
ignore the rust he shits gold dust
he’s proud to thrust himself into the spotlight
is it vanity or insanity
turn on Hannity he’ll tell us what’s at stake here
dead eyed fools who seek the crown
you elevate who keeps you down
forget the bodies on the ground
burn it all raise up the clown
dead eyed fools who seek the crown
you’ll watch it all come crashing down
you never know what’s coming ‘round
fuck it man let’s trust the clown

we try to lift the veil
exposing all of their deception
is this just paranoia
slowly driving us insane
in the corners of our minds
the wheels are turning into shadows
is this illusion the only thing
we feel is real at all
set ourselves up for the fall
we stand outside ourselves
and look away with good intentions
these feelings aren't our own
we're programmed for it all from birth
the system never fails
resistance here is always useless
there's no conclusion to the story
that rings true at all
set ourselves up for the fall
have we lost it all
set us up for the fall
and we lost it all again
we tie the noose around our necks
and now the hangman calls us
awake asleep lined up like sheep
waiting our turn to die
there's no escape the fate
that waits around every corner
is this the only way to
break free from these chains that bind
break free from these chains that bind
set ourselves up for the fall
have we lost it all
set us up for the fall
and we lost it all again
can't cauterize these wounds
the parasites are always feeding
draining our lives twisting the knife
into our broken backs
they take our time we waste our lives
chasing the mighty dollar
it's just a race we're losing pace
lost in a maze like rats
set ourselves up for the fall
have we lost it all
set us up for the fall
and we lost it all again

Stabbed By Prongs Buffalo, New York
Born out of a love for both the commercial and underground sounds of 90s and 2000s industrial and dance music.
SBP's music is equal parts mosh pit and dance floor with a nod to the past and an eye on the future.

The fact that the absurdly under recognized Kimberly Kornmeier took 1st place in our chart this month fills me with emotion of why I started this chart in the first place. A talented professional that has been a part of the scene since 1998 with a soulful piercing voice and an empathetic heart being chosen by this group over more recognized names. This song was a tribute to Ghost-Youth an artist taken from this world far too soon. Lovely trancey production and sorrowful delivery.
