999 Lyrics by Jory Canfield

999

2016

[Verse 1]
It’s quite a quarrel that is written with a quail feather
Seeing my own death is something that I’d rather - not do
See I feel a ton of nausea in my mind
And I think with my stomach
If you look close you’ll see that I’m hungry all the time
Half my mind wants to search for many things to find
For knowledge, for power, for sex, for food
Caffeine, wifi, music and some rest, it’s true
I don’t know where I’m going, I don’t know where I’ve been
I’m just walking ‘round town like I’m the blind, deaf kid
But feel as if I’m all seeing like the ultimate being
Searching for a body with a proper fit
Am I a god among mortals, or a man among gods?
To really answer life’s riddles, you must break this facade
Look at where we reside, we try to live in the now
But it’s through enlightenment that your soul will be found
White lies told by white men with white hair
Black ice making black cars crash right there
Gray skies letting clear rain hit my face
But when it’s gone there’s a rainbow that’ll take it’s place
A face made of clouds that are raining down
Joy’s a needle in a haystack that may never be found
See, round and round in this life we go
You don’t think about answers when you’re shoveling snow...

[Verse 2]
999 It’s the mark of the demon, a heathen
Feeding off the souls of all the people believing
Just seeing all these motherfuckers burn to sand
Ya’ll best be believing it’s the dream of the damned
The dream of the damned, this the devil’s design
Found ways to get back and created this rhyme
The time has shown age so we set the stage
For the miracles powered by the demon’s rage
So thanks for the shame that you’ve brought on our souls
But we won’t stay paying an eternal toll
So I say playing’s our eternal role
To cause torment until our victims fold
We got gamblers, racists, cheaters, rapists
Faceless people undeserving yet tasteless
Look what the case is, some say it’s shit
I used to be the same, now I say it’s fit
‘Cause we need an army to harm the oppression
He may charm some but God’ll Learn his lesson
Ever heard the silence when our lord first fell?
We’ll obliterate as soon as we can get out this cell
Set the oceans alight, and murder the reverend
Let the world burn as we look to heaven
To the triple seven, kill it like this
Now Heaven’s the one that’s labelled 666
See I’m a fucked up mind, a fucked up soul
A fucked up power with a fucked up role
No one told me, there'd be centuries like this
‘Cause all I know now is I still exist
Yeah I exist unwillingly, our world is fucked up
You have three options when you die, and all of them suck
So I don’t give a fuck, hate has clouded my thought
Know what, I don’t care no more. I’ll just go and rot
Yeah I’ll rot here, it doesn’t matter anymore
Every day I dive deeper, I know I can’t reach the shore
So torture me more, I’ve already given up
I’m in my final form and yet I’m weaker uncut
All this guilt and distress, I know I’ve made a mess
Despite what I deserve, I just long for a rest
This cesspool of torment leaves nothing for me
Or anyone else. We just long to be free
I don’t feel pain, I don’t feel fear
I don’t feel shame, I can’t cry tears
I can’t feel anything no more, a shell of who I was
Nothing’s left for anyone, I guess it’s what life does
