lyrics

Hidden by the silence of everything that you are. Underneath the stars. Caged by the bars. Holding back a beast with modesty can be vain. Open up your brain. Make a little pain. Hurt by the words, the first evil had burst. Quench a little thirst. Bring about the worst. Hit em with a bit of that violent side. Parasites die inside. Dying as I digitize. Cybernetic cyanide. You got to get to the bottom of why you run away. I bet you cry in your pillow and don’t know what to say. Look at your face in the mirror coming off at the bone. You either cry out in terror or cuz you’ll die alone.

Hiding the face you wear like it’s your jewelry, a liar and a thief in the night, hiding your foolery. I am the syphoning essence of life and death, and I can uncover every lie in your fucking breath.

Break away. You’ve got to Break away.

Hidden by the silence of waiting for higher being. Nothing you are heeding. Never truly seeing. Opening your mind, you let out all of the lies. Words I despise. Spiritual lies. Hiding every secret you keep in a jar of bees. Scratching at the fleas. Dirty up your knees. Slave to the splintering pew on which you would kneel. Everything you feel. None of it is real. You need to rip through the chrysalis and get to the end. Deny the light in the tunnel and lose your only friend. Look at your face in the river and start a new obsession. Your vanity’s a reflection of internal possession.

Hiding the face you wear like it’s your jewelry, a liar and a thief in the night, hiding your foolery. I am the syphoning essence of life and death, and I can uncover every lie in your fucking breath.

Break away. You’ve got to Break away. Hidden by the effort of everything you could try. Now you’re in the sky. Never ask why. Break away. You’ve got to Break away. Break ties. Break lies.

about

Crossworm image

Crossworm Grand Rapids, Michigan

Crossworm is a heathen anti-pop artist.

"Crossworm is almost annoyingly talented. Musician, artist, poet, and essayist, he’s seemingly a potential threat in almost any artistic medium you drop him into.

Crossworm’s music is a strong mix of violent imagery, anthemic chorus’s, introspection and societal critique told from the voice of the proletariat."
