The prize is mine I stole it from her With a little help From a friend Now they say I'm the one Who broke everything But I say I'll make it great again I'll make it good I'll make it great again You fake motherfuckers Right behind me My right hand men The Believer The Architect The War Hound The Bigot And then all those Other fools I'll make it great again I'll make it good I'll make it great again You fake motherfuckers Really I'm just a con Really it's just a show All I ever wanted Was to be loved for being mean Really don't hate me Really it's all a lie Really, I'm the king? Don't look inside No don't look inside Don't look inside I'm full of hate Don't look for depth Don't look for humanity Don't look for humility For all I am Is a creature of hate

Wall of Cogs 05:57
lyrics

Inside the machine The walls turn on Turning, churning These gears The makers told us They will not last forever Inside the machine The cogs turn on Turning, churning These gears The makers told us They will not last forever Peer into the machine You'll see the cracks In the Wall of Cogs You'll see the rust You'll see the friction You'll see them separate Look into the wall You'll see the emptiness Gaze upon the wall You'll see the hole inside Gaze upon the wall You'll see anachronism Gaze upon the wall As it grinds to a halt

Outside 03:06
lyrics

Outside the wall Time flows on Rushing and running To where, I don't know Keep moving Don't look back Saturated and inundated and Told to keep your head in line But where are we running to? What are we running from? What are we hiding? Divided we fall Like a house of cards We face Creation alone Angry at the world That takes and takes and takes some more Until there's nothing left But ashes and monsters But where are we running to? What are we running from? What are we hiding? We hide from our hate We hide from a wound that never healed We hide that we are the monsters Our nightmares wished us to be

The Power of Faith 03:50
lyrics

Angel Gabriel, light my way And Luke, pour me the wine So I can drink and be eternal Because I'm pious Because I'm pure I'm a believer! Take me to heaven! Because I'm devout Because I'm true I'm a believer! Take me to heaven! Mother Mary, hold me close Peter, hold my beer And Judas, you faggot You'd better stay away I ain't got no hate! I ain't got no hate! I ain't got no hate! I'm a believer! I ain't got no hate! I ain't got no hate! I ain't got no hate! I'm a believer! I'm too drunk on my virtue To remember That boy that there was some seeexy- I - I - I mean girl! Because everyone knows, Christians don't sex up boys.

Discordia 04:19
lyrics
buy track
Give your beauty to me Hide your judgement for acceptance Slave for all you know The fruit of my darkened tree will be yours Bow down, your Goddess calls For you to rule with fear Wash and bathe my feet Discordia will reward you Don't mind the pecking order That Chaos reinforces My silky fingers make a fine collar (May cause lightheadness, lack of purpose and a general malaise) Sing the siren's song I stay in the shadows Scream the banshee call I'm behind you whispering "I am Eris, giver and taker of power,"

Fallout 03:58
lyrics

"Excuse me sir, James is here to see you," "Uh, hi James, yeah come on in ... Have you seen ... I ... uh .. uhh .. I'm terribly unhappy with how you handled the situation James and I-uh-uh-uh-YOU'RE FIRED!" Why is the ash falling From the broken glass ceiling? I had to smash it I had to throw the first stone Fight my chain holders for I am no one's slave I am the Lord of the Bugs And my hunger will not be denied Now as I look around The world glows toxic green And I, the King of the Roaches Must be made to care I created a wasteland All these fools I gave false gold to They cannot save me from the things I start But I rebel because these walls are closing in And soon they'll prove I had only one friend all along A glowing green world Outside my pristine white cage I will not ask for help There will be no begging And there will be no one left When I am finished.

Mein Schmerz 05:58
lyrics
buy track
The pain has lingered along the hallways of time The world I was a larvae in Is not this world today I loved that world Where I ate the smallest Hid under the largest of wings And threatened everyone in between Oh, no ... Now my pain is that My youth has faded My translucent grow shaded My antenna are so soft So different than before My mind swims along the rivers of time. Oh, no, no ... I fear my pain will be My orange shell smashed As I am locked in a cage forever My inner workings laid out For the whole world to stare at in horror And most painful of all I hear my friend laughing through the hallways of always

Nightmares 03:50
lyrics
buy track
The darkness inside me I see it in the mirror, in the night Lingering shadows surround that even Daylight cannot banish My friend would comfort me But in this pristine white cage I am all alone As one by one My cadre of sycophants, My posse of fools They leave me They are eaten by the wolves outside the door Before they leave, they all say They can see the walls moving and changing They can see the rugged face of Justice In every painting My cage is smaller every day And I know, I fell for the bait I walked into a trap No amount of conviction will save me from Please, save me Please, save me Please, save me Please, get me out Get me out of this nightmare I wish I had never listened To my friend My naiviette, my greed have come to haunt me

The Torchbearer 01:52
lyrics

Oh look at that rugged man So handsome, so proud Spent my life laying down the law Lost more opportunities than I gained But I gained an awful lot I know the face of a guilty man now Oh look at that just man Dressed so fine Now I face down my final opponent A cadre of sycophants, a posse of fools Will fall to my scythe I am the death of injustice I am the face of truth I am the beacon of light in the dark My name is Justice.

Lowdown Showdown 04:46
lyrics
buy track
The whole town has come to watch The shooting match go down I keep buying more guns Each more fucked than the last I didn't take anyone's advice I refused all help I believe I will survive A lowdown showdown with Justice Oh, such a smooth criminal me So suave with the deal in the left hand and a threat Cocked and ready in the right I didn't take anyone's advice I refused all help I believe I will survive A lowdown showdown with Justice Birds go silent The crowd whispers, "I hear Justice Ain't ever missed," I didn't take anyone's advice I refused all help I believe I will survive A lowdown showdown with Justice Where are you my friend You started this now why Don't you end this for me Your truest friend, Marmalade

about

This album was the work of close to 3 years, and way too many hours learning how to mix and master on my own (hence the master quality).

It tells the story of Marmalade, who may sound an awful lot like someone you've known in your life. Someone who is all smiles until you criticize them, until they put you in a morally compromising situation ... and then they turn on you and do their best to destroy your life.

I've known multiple people who either had the delusional or insecure narcissist diagnosis, but this album is about a malignant narcissist - someone who won't settle for just getting you out of their life ... the difference between a malignant narcissist and the other two clinical diagnosis is that a malignant narcissist will seek to destroy you and never forget your name for wronging them.
