A force of nature wakes
He's made of liquid fire
He's murdered several million
Deserving victims, what he requires
The armies clean their ranks
The churches turn to dust
The demon he is deified
He never ages, never dies
There is no time for rest
It's time he could be ruling
A mass of several million
Deserving victims, heeding his word
He's never satisfied consuming the galaxy
He rides the psychic waves to spread his philosophy
He rises to the throne to declare his legacy:
"See my face and know I am the Lord"
A fierce leviathan
A force of nature reckoned
He's an abomination
A single look can turn you insane
The thing that should not be
He cries in awesome triumph
It will destroy your eardrums
A single note from haunting refrains
His body blocks the sun
And casts the earth in shadow
Begin the subjugation
The huddled masses heeding his word
He's never satisfied consuming the galaxy
He rides the psychic waves to spread his philosophy
He rises to the throne to declare his legacy:
"See my face and know I am the Lord"

Your Scorpio Sign

We can agree to disagree
As long as it's mundane
But your beliefs that came to light
Cannot be well explained
These are decisions that stay here on Earth
The two of us should think it through
Don't blame the stars or your Scorpio sign
I'm placing the burden on you
Don't consult your horoscope
I know you're dying to
I hesitate to call your bullshit
But we know it's true
These are decisions that stay here on Earth
The two of us should think it through
Don't blame the stars or your Scorpio sign
I'm placing the burden on you
Call me when you're prepared
Call me when you're all there, there, there
These are decisions that stay here on Earth
The two of us should think it through
Don't blame the stars or your Scorpio sign
I'm placing the burden on you

I Am A Different Version

You know I love you too
I feel sick, I felt sick
I do not have to be your friend
I feel sick, I felt sick
And I am going to feed
I feel ill, I fell ill
And I am really fine with me
I feel ill, I fell ill
It's a good idea, better than your filth
There's years of scum and oils caked up in the corners
Ravings of a madman lick against your eardrums
Drill in your subconscious
Like your favorite song, it grows its roots
Oh yeah
How can you be so stupid?
Don't talk back, don't talk back
It's not okay to speak
I can see, I did see
And this is not a diary
I can see, I did see
So turn all of your thoughts to the man you love
I am a beautiful person (x4)
And so am I (x a bunch)
Free
The aneurysm floods the brain
The pressure is unbearable
The feeling's not so bad you claim
Embrace is calm and merciful

Perpetual Money Machine
02:40

I'm a fat disgusting corporate shill
I kill what I eat and I eat who I kill
You can't stop me from making money
Off disenfranchised battered souls
So what, who cares? Who's that, who's there?
Now it's chic to care at all
So what, who cares? Who's that, who's there?
So can you spare time at all?
I've invented the best thing you've ever seen
A perpetual money making machine
You can't stop it from making profit
Off the poor and decimated souls
So what, who cares? Who's that, who's there?
Now it's chic to care at all
So what, who cares? Who's that, who's there?
So can you spare time at all?
Oh my god, is this real
Tell your wife, tell your kids
I forgot, you don't have any
It's a shame you're alone
Oh my god, tell your friends
Tell them all it's real
Like a fire, unforgettable
Burning all of the poor souls in its path
FUCK YOU

I don't owe a goddamn thing
I made this for myself
And I don't owe a goddamn thing
I made this for myself
How could you dare infringe on my rights?
You should've known I'd start a fight
Everyone should be free to do as they pleased
It's all I ever asked
And you can try to pry it from my cold dead hands yourself
'Cause there's no way I'll give it up to sell
You can't take what I have earned
No there's no way in hell
No I don't owe a goddamn thing
I made this for myself
I don't have time for everyone's failures
All my success is what I claimed
Nobody else wants it hard enough
Why can't they do the same?
Now you take all your repo men
And place them on the shelf
'Cause I don't owe a goddamn thing
I made this for myself

Making A Scene
04:44

"I don't quite follow, explain as best you can"
"It's so elementary, why don't you understand?
Our business direction does not sync with yours
We're thinking of letting you go
Clean your desk, delete your emails
Security will walk you from the premises
I hope you will prepare a fresh resume
This is the wrong time to make such a scene of things
Won't you consider your sense of propriety?
This is the wrong place to make such an awful stink
I'd be embarrassed were I in your shoes."
Three fortnights later at company retreat
You show uninvited and reek of whiskey neat
You give the CFO a stern talking-to
He never has met you before
Why'd you let it come to this?
We're going to have to call the cops again
Again
Third time this month
And I won't pry much now into your private life
But something's fishy, you're making such a scene
And your reaction's disproportionate
We would rather not take action, you're forcing it
Your behavior is unintuitive
This is more response than we really ought to give
Don't cause a scene

Tiger Castle Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
"Music that makes you wanna play Tony Hawk's Pro Skater."
Power pop but dumber, pop punk without
the baggage. If you like harmonized guitar leads, fast dense songs, sometimes being really dreamy, air-guitaring at the back of the basement show crowd, Jeff Rosenstock, Rozwell Kid, Diarrhea Planet, or PUP, you'll probably like us. Go Birds.
