Tears of Scarlet tears of scarlet fall to the floor mess up the carpet naked creature in the corner come out to play in the attic with nail clippers in the winter and the wooden splinters can i name you how does little wire sound to you it's the best i can do so watch the movie you'll be ordained and groovy with a mind wide open hey little wire you're preaching to the choir hello little wire string up the naughty liar hola little wire lost in empty desire hey little wire you're preaching to the choir hello little wire string up the naughty liar hola little wire be the stone be the fire my cockatrice does magic tricks my cockatoo does them too don't fall in the honey trap beware the beaver in a domino mask we all know true love is wet face the bees and don't regret the video is your straightjacket and i'll make sure you never forget tears of scarlet and caramel fall into your wishing well beautiful creature what shall we have for breakfast eggs from the nest or jam on a toasted bun sweet strawberries on my thumb forgot you were so young and curious dark red cherries on my tongue cooked the spinach in the sun strangers at the door they know nothing you my world between sky and floor hey little wire you're preaching to the choir hello little wire string up the naughty liar hola little wire lost in empty desire hey little wire you're preaching to the choir hello little wire string up the naughty liar hola little wire be the stone be the fire my cockatrice does magic tricks my cockatoo does them too don't fall in the honey trap beware the beaver in a domino mask we all know you look best in grey face the bees and learn to play the music is your tourniquet so hold on tight never go away you'd better let me go cause i'm innocent won't be long til i go off of the deep end you'd better let me go cause i'm innocent and i won't ever do it again you'd better let me go cause i'm innocent don't you dare put me away i'm not a criminal i'm just ugly and i would do it all for money hey little wire you're preaching to the choir hello little wire string up the naughty liar hola little wire lost in empty desire hey little wire you're preaching to the choir hello little wire string up the naughty liar hola little wire be the stone be the fire my cockatrice does magic tricks my cockatoo does them too don't fall in the honey trap beware the beaver in a domino mask we all know you look best in grey face the bees and learn to play the music is your tourniquet so hold on tight never go away hey little wire you're preaching to the choir hello little wire string up the naughty liar hola little wire lost in empty desire hey little wire you're preaching to the choir hello little wire string up the naughty liar hola little wire be the stone be the fire my cockatrice does magic tricks my cockatoo does them too don't fall in the honey trap beware the beaver in a domino mask we all know true love is wet face the bees and don't regret the video is your straightjacket and i'll make sure you never forget

Originally 2 albums recorded ~2011 when I was around 19 years old. I sat on these recordings for a long time until a number of the songs grew on me enough to make this single album compiling the best of them. The Black Hole Task Force is abrasive experimental industrial noise and perhaps some of my best lyric writing to date.
