Siege of Self

Atanamar Sunyata Someone's been huffing Human Remains and I'm here for it. Grinds viscera with a whipsaw but rocks a carnival irreverence for melody. Not overly dense in tone or production, but brimming with punk piss and vinegar. Just loose enough for you to catch whatever unholy fucking rhythm is boiling up in here. Witnessed the ignominy of being beaten to death with a toilet plunger.

1.
Midnight 00:51
2.
Her sex is like violence And when she’s finished she stands outside the car Juggles a butterfly knife between her fingers Tells you tales of the men she’s stabbed at various truck stops Throughout the country She’s so perfect What a god damn shame How her name Escapes me
3.
I tell myself I’m getting better But at night I still dream of the terror Like a snuff film I can only feel But never see I tell myself I’m getting stronger But it still hits me Like a gray bullet to the chest Catatonic in the basement again I tell myself to breathe As I tap dance between the mortars And live my life Forever under siege
4.
Juniata 01:32 video
Burst blood vessel Hangs lazy in his eye Like a cow’s pregnant stomach Shoes without laces Rooms without windows He lobbies the doctor on that grey Pittsburgh morning “I hurt myself with the best intentions I don’t need your sympathy” Suffering is my only comfort Feed it to me Feed it to me
5.
Hoax 00:40
Never felt more alone then when I lay next to you Severed wine bottle Dirty basement floor Dance across the plains of my forearms Like a lioness’s tooth When they find me floating in the closet Where I keep my journals Your indifference Will be the pallbearer
6.
Hes a coward Just like me But I’m man enough to admit it He pushed with his words I throw him down the stairs Six years clean with a knife in my hand I never slept so soundly As I did with the empty hammer under my pillow And a Half empty pillow case on the night stand How he bullied over me Like some fat arrogant husk With the upper hand Clenched like a battering ram “You Fight Better when you’re drunk” He screams at his bleeding brother He’ll never get that money So long as he lives but when he decides To come through the window He will get the hammer He’s a coward just like me But I’m man enough to admit it Dream big sleep deep A little bit of violence never hurt anyone
7.
Their breathless little lies And cheap perfume Never seemed to stay with me But how I fondly recall the way his blood splattered the seat belts And how he dumped me face down on the curb in front off the hospital My arm dangling from my chest like a derailed locomotive He walks around with a kiss on his arm Shaped like my teeth Or the face she made when I slapped the beer out off her boyfriend’s hand And how he whispered “enough” after I bludgeoned his face You’ve had enough When I said so A little bit of violence Never hurt anyone
8.
Body Horror 01:09
Can’t remember a time it wasn’t always like this I’ve taken myself hostage Spend most of my time getting high off starvation As I take these pills that turn my stomach into Hades I’d be disappointed If I wasn’t so embarrassed “I hope you’re happy” I scream in the mirror Ball my fist And am it down my throat
9.
I would hide in the closet Shivering under grandpa’s coats While you prowled the hall Like a murderer Like a facsimile Now you are far away I am still right here Both lie awake at night Dying to be better men Two bitter broken hearts Raging in loneliness United in torment
10.
You killed me In my childhood bedroom Where the cancer failed Crushed my neo-cortex In the same place where grandmother died Then you watched my body Decompose Like a pornographic film And then I fade into nothing While you stand over me You killed me Vivid visions off a victim A slave to a hateful universe It’s always midnight down here
11.
Mastery 01:55
Whenever I fuck I’m 16 again And if she contorts her face just so I can feel that familiar bruise Around the casket off my eye bone If only you could see me A well-muscled cowboy gorilla Stalking these city streets With a heart full of broken monsters If only you could see me If only you could see me now Maybe you’d hold back for once
12.
Blood seeps from his bandaged knuckles Smearing itself on the rubber canvas Like drunken kisses From a one night stand He punishes the mat for hours Cross after cross Sweep after sweep Elbows purpled by the relentless pushback The bag sways like a hung bandit Stiffened corpse dancing in the wind His joints bristle As he prepares for another round It’s to no avail Relief has failed A hate-seeking missile Without a target That bitch of a war How we all died in it We all died in it
13.
I cut myself Pretend I’m someone else Crimson tiger stripes Up and down my arm A war-torn rainbow Disassociating In the mirror It finally smiles back The lonely katana Steel blade of shame Slice my heart to ribbons Bleeding in morse code Like broken knives Dancing down my spine These pills don’t help Just like everything else So I wash them down with whiskey Pray I don’t survive Put on my church clothes Lying in the bathtub The ceiling slowly warps So hateful to be alive So fucking hateful to be alive Bury me in Czestawova Or else find me in the parking lot Suffering is my only comfort Without it I am nothing
