Machina 04:52
Math is hard friends are lovers Math is easy love your friends Best thing that ever happened to you When you throw it away, what do you do? My rusty wiring’s grown so old Engine won’t start cuz I’m so cold Find the fuel to make my heart beat Pushing daisies and talking crazy Global paisleys on your one slim leg Hard faces stomp and beg All factory flashback A hundred quartz lit eyelid movies Asking why to every lucid murmur Endless thoughts from just outside of honor I remember everything Everything but the moment You put these thoughts inside my head Beauty so hectic Where oh where is the life Without the knife To cut you free at birth To break you loose at death To cancel you out To cancel me out To cancel everything You’re breathing for There, there is no weight In this world Proportionate to the loss of you two And the sky is crying from the sky The tears are, the tears are hitting the floor I remember everything

Wujen 02:24
Wujen is a sorcerer With mysterious powers For each stricture The mind flowers Take all the pictures We’ve uncovered In everything we see The invisible forces of the world Every time you give me something I just gotta throw it away Every time you tell me something new I don’t believe you In spite of what we say It don’t matter If you’ll be on your way Then go be there And if your head you lay Up in the clouds Then no one cares If it’s loud Every time you give me something I just gotta throw it away Every time you tell me something new I don’t believe you It’s almost like I made you mine I wanna get inside your mind I promised that I’d stay behind You run the way I designed If you think you’ll ever be You will never be free Come back home to me You run the way I designed

I see it through your eyes I feel it through your skin I need a new disguise To help me to pretend I don't exist anymore I don't exist Tell me that you see me So that I don't drift away Tell me that you need me Come back for me someday Tell me what you wanna see Tell me who you wanna be You won't even recognize your face You can't get away from it You won't even pull the chip Left with no recollection With this persona fix I turn into a chick You think I'm something more Someone you would adore I don't exist anymore I don't exist Tell me that you see me So that I don't drift away Tell me that you need me Come back for me someday Tell me what you wanna see Tell me who you wanna be You won't even recognize your face You can't get away from it You won't even pull the chip Left with no recollection

You and yours just take from me This plundering community I see I stand up you knock me down Just a jewel inside your crown You see Time to take back what was ours You’ll never get away Looking lost and found for hours There’s nowhere to stay Gonna put you in your place No one’s gonna see You pay the price Twist and crack it’s breaking me This pillaging society You see There’s no care for the unwell Everyone can go to hell I see Pay the price as if it’s yours Hidden from the world Like a monster on all fours I don’t see anything Time to take back everything There’s gotta be a way Expropriate

This is a song for the misanthropic We look around but we cannot trust it All that is meets our rejection Not much merits further inspection I touched the blood and it was cold Dead on arrival I read the meme and it was old Not worth an eyeball I have searched the world for a quality Without redemption I have found it don't mean much to me There’s no exception I take I'll take it I take exception There is There is no There's no exception Here's a little tune for the maladjusted Like a sword we were born to thrust it Deep in the heart of the dying dragon We sing our song and we raise the flagon Drink the blood from the dragon's skull Fear no reprisal Eat the flesh like a carnival Kill for survival I have searched the world for a quality Without redemption I have found it don't mean much to me There’s no exception I take I'll take it I take exception There is There is no There's no exception

Chump 02:12
Not going to be your chump Not gonna let you dump on Not going to be your chump Not gonna let you dump on me I hear you talking to me while you While you hold out your hand You offer only death just like you Just like you planned Well, I've finally got my wits about me And I'm on to your shit You want to be rid of me But I'm not gonna let it Not going to be Not gonna let you dump on me Someone get this asshole out of here Unlike the rest of you I am self aware If you wanna get a piece of me Well, you’re a dick and you’re a dick, but I am not a dick Not going to be Not gonna let you dump on me You’re a dick But I am not a dick

Worm 04:27
The words you said left me dead, I don’t wanna be the subject of your ire For this abuse I have no use, just another way to take advantage of me This energy flowing from my veins must seem an endless wellspring There’s a limit to how much you can drink before I’m all dried out I can’t tell why you’re so mean to me I tried to give you something to fill the hole in your heart No matter what I give to you it will not do I can’t tell why you’re so mean to me All of my patience is wasted on you My last line of defense is to stay away I can’t tell why you’re so mean to me I tried to give you something to fill the hole in your heart Once you’re full you look for more, nothing ever seems to be enough for you Count me out, I have my doubts, when you look around I cannot be found I remember when we were still friends then you drained me dry Can’t keep doing this though I’ll really miss the good among the bad I can’t tell why you’re so mean to me You’ve encoded your thoughts Into this book of names Each time you speak It always ends the same Inside your speech You always mention me As though I’m somehow less Than you would have me be I’m getting sick dealing with all of this, I just wanna be there There is nothing left for us to protect, wish things weren’t this way I can’t tell why you’re so mean to me All of my patience is wasted on you My last line of defense is to stay away I can’t tell why you’re so mean to me

Reaching out with one hand And pushing it away with the other It breaks into so many pieces It breaks to when I looked inside of lies and wept without no eyes Staring at the truth collapsing Someone is dancing that loves the sound of how to achieve Ecstasy with one breath One breath, one aim, one destiny Breathe into me, ecstasy With one hand, with one breath With my fellow man this death Mortal cries heard every hour As I leap inside to be devoured I dug a hole in my life and I dropped you inside It’s a fatal way to be but it’s all that it means to me I dug a hole in my life and I dropped you inside Is a horrible thing to see such a terrible thing to be? I can feel this overness it Eats away at everything and I can’t stand it any longer But if It don’t kill me it’ll make me stronger Down and out on the streets, I get around, when I get around to I know I was you in a former life, a former lie Without the sun we are thrown into shadow Needing no new ground to settle down I can’t lie enough To feel my way back home Where I dug a hole in my life And I dropped you inside I can feel this overness And it’s eating away at me Can’t stand it any longer But it’ll make me stronger

Rashomon 04:59
I couldn’t tell if you wanted to tell me a story that’s only about yourself Or if there was anyone in your life I started to smell the ghost of a miracle worker that only wanted everything Everything started to fall in place for them If you ever get your revenge Are you finally gonna not pretend? At the place that it all went down I was down in the park In the cove where you hid And I know where you are And I saw what you did Don’t think I forgive Cuz I’ve been there before But I know who you are And I just don’t care anymore You cut my heart out, cut my heart out Cut my heart out, cut my heart out Cuz I've fallen from the stars And I'd go there again I'd marry Ishtar Just to be with my friends But you cut out my heart to stop me from feeling Cut out my eyes so that I can't see Rip out my tongue to stop me from singing Rip away my soul so that I can't dream Look for me in forty days I'm the man who fell to earth inside I know I'm not the only one You know I come from a higher source I know I'm not the only one I’m in the mothership I am at heaven's gate I’m in the mothership I am at heaven's gate Look for me in forty days

about

OTTO BARBARIAN

AUTOBARBARIAN

The album Autobarbarian is a combination of new material and songs I wrote in the 90s. The subject matter deals with topics like Heaven's Gate, Akira Kurosawa movies, and Shadowrun

This was the first record I made with Shane Patrick on the drums. After Rishathra, I got Nick Nickerson to move over to this project and add his vocals. Michael Jordan came over to do lead guitar and John Pierce busted out some bass. The result is a spooky, aggressive record with psychedelic-progressive-hardcore tendencies
