Hello Stranger

When you hear me come to town
Knife the speed of sound
Blood is gonna drown
Sun is going way down
When the moon is my eyes
Murder on my mind
Melt into the night
No need for goodbye
When the clouds roll in
Underneath your skin
And the veins reign change
When the clouds roll in
Sun is going way down
Blood is gonna drown
Knife the speed of sound
When you hear me come to town
No need for goodbye
I melt into the night
Murder on my mind
When the moon is my eyes
Hello stranger

Curbstomping curbstomping
the fame of my name's brains
out in the gutter like
out in the gutter like
out in the gutter like
glitter and bitter butterflies.
The celebrity in me cries
out in rhymes
with teeth kicked in
teeth kick out by mimes.
And crimes against the state
of my face, state of my face
commit to the consequence
of loosing the choice between
choosing and grace.
From there we fall
unto this wicked place
between your eyes and mine.
your eyes and mine
This perspective will die
die in the gutter like
die in the gutter like
die in the gutter like glitter
and bitter butterflies.
Face mine
Truth mine
Place mine
Choice mine

Fold
03:04

Give me shortness of breath
On the verge of precipice
Getting undressed
I’m buried in the witness
To see through blindfold
Restrain the threshold
Train me controlled
Do as you’re sold
Suspended animation
Obey delay me
Stop motion plaything
Tangled in your strings
Surprises spit into our eyes
Forfeit my fucking rights
An urge unto the wind
What the fuck is this
Articulate me
I fold
I am origami
I fold fold fold

Plasticine
02:36

Looked through by the magazine
Stared at by my tv screen
Wishing I could someday be
As pretty in my plasticine
Buy me beauty crown me queen
The ruler of a lifeless scene
Wishing I could someday be
A Miss Americana teen
Baby fat and fifteen
Mind is moving morphine
Whisper what you see in me
I can pass for eighteen
My soul is crystal chlorine clean
Well rehearsed and so routine
Whisper what you see in me
So pretty in my plasticine
I’m pretty in my plasticine
The ruler of this lifeless scene
I bought my beauty crowned me queen
Blend me in and set me free
Well rehearsed and so routine
My soul is crystal chlorine clean
Worshiping the brand machine
So damn pretty in plasticine

Schadenfreude
Oh what joy ta
Be defined by
You’re wrong & I’m right
Schadenfreude

Fall from grace
When I’m not in your place
Schadenfreude
I’m rooting for ya
To get what I say
Is coming your way

self-loathing, long story, quickly getting awful
Nature is not my thing. I am used; committed honestly like
dropped encounters. I know how this is killing me.
Right now I feel like puking. Time can’t help my mind.
Spanked with guilt. Exaggerate this contracted come
the fuck down now. Adventure took a walk on
your relationship material ripped when
you put yourself out there just as you are not.
I like you just as you are not
Words of savage experience
in terms of average coincidence
A human. A dog. A limited shape.
A parent. A tool. You’re my great escape.
The only wonder to have a future
in both always and never ever will be
I hope that doesn’t ruin it for catholic families
she says she can’t be with me.
ashamed of my cunt

Words of savage experience

Needs actually don’t exist
I just think you’re a maladjusted little shit

Xibling Portland, Oregon
[pronounced: sĭbʹ-lĭng]
Synthpunk from Portland, Oregon
"Rather than rehashing ideas already
explored, Xibling assembles their music from the core components that made eclectic synth music exciting during the 80s, while diving headlong into the 21st-century avant-garde."
