The Acacia Strain - Continent Album Lyrics

Skynet

If you think like a whore then you're a fucking whore.
Plagiarism is the highest form of flattery.
Why would you ever want to be like me?
We are all someone else's terrible idea.
If you catch the evil twin then why would you keep it alive?
If you feel the fucking daggers then why not just step aside?
You are all bastard children and you've taken it all the wrong way.
Keep fooling yourself with you unappreciation.
Look into my eyes and know that I can see right through you.
I'll erase you from the thoughts and tongues of everyone you know.
Even if you apologized to me right now it would mean nothing.
Cry to me and beg for mercy all you want, you're fucking dead.
I don't care when or why you cry.
I just want to be there when you die.
I'll be collecting soon.
I'll be coming for my payment soon.
You're nothing but a fucking pig.
And you owe me your life.
Vanflip times a thousand.
Don't believe the hype.
No care ever.

Seaward

I have escaped into the middle of nowhere.
Where no can hear you or would ever want to journey.
I have found you the perfect place to spend the rest of your life.
And you're lucky I let you live this long to see it.
I don't care who you are, you're no one tonight.
I don't care you you were, you're nothing tonight.
Hair like sand.
Skin like salt.
She smelled of the sea.
I tore her apart.
And when she screamed all I could hear was the ocean.
I tore her apart.
And when she looked at me all I could see was fear.
it's hard to keep sinking ships afloat.
I am the failure she never knew.
Oceans apart, days away.
We are from from lost, but even farther from being found.
You're far beyond you jurisdiction here.
"Don't make me come out there and get you son"
I fucking dared him... I fucking dared him.
No one can help you way out here.
We can't be bothered by that nonsense way out here.
Sand in her hair.
Salt on her skin.
Bloated but not breathing.
The air is soaking wet with salt and death.
And I curse like a sailor.
Loose lips sink ships.

Dr. Doom

Take this job and shove it.
I'm not here to break ground, I'm not dressed to impress.
I'm here for me and the few who care to listen.
I'm not dressed to impress.
I hope your ears bleed.
I hope your skin crawls.
May you live forever.
You say jump we say how high.
720 and face down on the interstate.
I can't see my legs, I can't feel my arms and my vision is blurred.
White lines on a white road under a white sky.
His head was crushed.
What good is this thing if you can't use it to call for help?
No headlights, no sirens, no eulogy.
Four funerals, no fucking wedding.
And the blood runs down the mountain.

Forget-Me-Now

She never got to know me, they never do.
I never introduced myself.
The smell of sweat and perfume fills the air.
I know my new girlfriend is waiting in there.
But she doesn't know me yet.
I'm a surgeon, I'm a poet, I'm the last thing you see before you die.
I don't need you, I don't need anyone.
I stalk this waste of life.
I always introduce myself.
The smell of shit and death fills the air.
I know my new girlfriend is dying in there.
She still doesn't know me yet.
She died like she lived, on her fucking back.
They die like they live, on their fucking backs.
I stalk this waste of life to make sure I'm not wasting my own.
I want your legs behind your head.
I want your legs.

Cthulhu

I wouldn't touch you with someone else's dick.
Don't worry bitch, you don't have anything I haven't seen before.
I am the last of a dying breed.
I already told you what your name means, and if you call me "Vince" one more time I'm going to rip your fucking head off.
It's nothing more than a failure to listen, but it's a giant sign of disrespect.
Nothing more than a failure to listen, but a giant sign of disrespect.
If you really want to know something you'll look it up.
If you really want to know something you'll do the fucking research.
Google, Youtube, W dot something.
The future is at your finger tips.
Backpedaling into the primordial ooze.
Board the windows try to hide.
This is going to hurt you more than me.
Beauty isn't skin deep, beauty doesn't exist.
My mind has been made up for me.
Dreamt of a world without life.
Woke up and you don't exist.
No one can stop me I am the death machine.
You are doomed.
And you will all be judge.

Baby Buster

I don't sing fucking love songs because there's nothing in this world for me to love.
I want the world to have my rape baby so when it's born I can strangle it to death.
This is not a healthy relationship.
When the bomb drops you will spend the last few minutes of your life shitting your pants.
Remember how I always told you "I hold your life in my hands"?
You stare and pray as you watch them fall.
I will make complete fools of you all.
I stopped telling her I loved her a long time ago.
If you know what's good for you, you won't tell anyone.
This is domestic abuse like you've never seen.
This is a Lifetime movie on a global scale.
"Just tell them you fell down the stairs"
So now it's come to this.
Take control!
It is my job as a human being to let my ignorance take control.
It is my job as a human being to run this bitch in the ground.
Your mother earth is a dirty slut.
When the bombs drop...

Balboa Towers

She asked me if I wanted to fuck so I spit in her face.
Blatant disregard for the rules.
She asked me to marry her so I slit her fucking throat.
I told you I wanted to be alone forever.
Leave the trash where the trash belongs.
Baby, you'd look good in a dumpster.
The world has stopped turning.
The other shoe has dropped.
The shit has hit the fucking fan.
Breathe in deep.
Bite down hard.
Live in fear.
Die in pain.
I have found beauty in permanent exile.
This is my reclamation.
This is my continent.
I am most hated of the world.
You aren't my brother.
You aren't my family.
I'd rather die alone than live here with you.
No one has control of me now.
If I ruled the world I'd destroy mankind.
If I were king for a day I'd make sure there was no fucking tomorrow.
And now the world is my fucking toilet.
And now the world is mine.

JFC (Jesus Fucking Christ)

I am the end of the world.
When the time is right you will know my fucking name.
Lie in the gutter and pray to the god of I don't give a fuck.
This isn't an anthem, this is a lullaby. So go to sleep and wish that you'd never wake up.
They all deserved to die.
I pushed the button, I watched the sky rain death.
Consider this global abortion.
I now know what your future holds.
I am all knowing and almighty.
You will honor and revere.
True survival is pouring salt in the wound.
I hold your pathetic lives in my hands.
If you won't die for me, you will die because of me.
I pulled the trigger on the entire human race.
This is as big as murder-suicide gets.
I am the end of the world. My dick now lies in your rotting mouth.
Nothing to do now but watch the world die.

Kraken

This is my wasteland, this is my ruin.
This is the best thing that's ever happened to me.
You've read about me in the papers and seen me on TV.
Now we are meeting face to face.
I cut the hands and feet off of living things.
I have seen you rise and fall.
I have walked the earth from end to end.
I cut the hands and feet off of living things.
You are not worth saving.
You are not worth caring for.
I am terror, I am famine.
I am the worst that will ever happen to you.
I am horror, I am exile.
I am the worst that will ever happen to you.
I'm never going to be there for you.
I'm never going to pick you up when you are down.
I am not your shoulder to cry on.

The Combine

I thought I was dead.
Nothing moves in the land of death.
Nothing moves in the land of decay.
This is something I have always wished for.
Complete extermination.
A bruised and beaten mongrel gasping for her dying breath.
Ultimate extinction.
No remorse for anything.
No salvation for anyone.
You want a war?
Survival of the fittest was a bullshit lie.
The stench of rot owns the earth.
You want a war?
I'll give you a fucking war.
You wanted a war, so I gave you a fucking war.
I thought I was dead.
I'm the only on left...

Global Warming

[Vinyl edition bonus track]

The only reason I want to be on top of the world is so I can crush it underfoot
At least you can pat yourself on the back
We can't destroy fast enough and you taken away my lungs
You were the lesser of two evils
Now I'm not sure who is worse
You had your day in the sun
We can't all protect and serve

This was a very convenient truth
Deviants in a world of heroic conformity
You will never alter the way we live our lives
Traded tropical climate for nuclear winter
I despise you for including me in your plans

And he won himself a god damned prize
The blackest clouds cant stop me now
You are guilty
We are all pieces of shit
We are all wastes of life
You'll never amount to anything
I'll make damn sure of that

Stay Puft

[Vinyl edition bonus track]

Don't sleep with your back to me
Keep your eyes shut, keep your mouth shut
All because you couldn't keep your legs shut.
I broke it off while she choked to death.
She screamed my name with her final breath
Bring me your head on a silver plate

[Chorus:]
I don't need real friends
I don't need true love
There are no real friends
There are no true loves

I don't break promises
I don't break hearts
I'm busy breaking backs
Get the fuck over yourself
I am bloodthirsty for revenge
Get the fuck over yourself
I am bloodthirsty for revenge

[Chorus]

I am the heartless monster
And I'll burn your fuckin' house to the ground
I will bury you alive
And tear your fucking soul apart
APART!
