Lyrics:
Why do people have to live outside In the brutal heat or when it’s below freezing There are people that are made to live outside Why
Why do people have to live outside When there are buildings all around us With heat on and no one inside Why
Why do people have to live outside In tents, under bridges Living with nothing and horribly suffering Why Why do people have to live outside We have the resources We have the means Why
Why do people have to live outside I couldn’t survive out on the streets Why
Why do people have to live outside I couldn’t survive out on the streets I’ve never had to push all of my shit around in a shopping cart have you Have you ever had ringworm Scabies? Have you ever had to live outside I don’t want to live outside Why Why do people have to live outside
Horror story Real American horror story And it’s a fuckin tragedy Every day Everyday, people have to live outside Why

Lyrics:
I broke my knees upon the pearl & onyx In the hall of trophies built to honor my father Spilled the blood, gave em as much as they wanted Still had to dance for my supper, still had to give them my body Different masks Different pain Big world Small change Outside there’s no mercy & not everyone can hide Not everyone gets to hide The wicked jester is dancing and clapping As my big strong hands kill the people they told me There are times that I can almost believe it I can almost imagine I was meant to do this and be here Caged life Caged hurt Passed down Past earth Outside there’s no mercy & not everyone can hide Not everyone gets to hide They move the pieces on the pearl & onyx If the horror don’t kill me, my rotten teeth will The trophies gleam thru glass cases I polished All the floor has my story, all they need is more bodies The cruel ending is that my story continues I help them to live but why am I living? I gave them my flesh to write the final chapter But the blood from my sons is just a new beginning Funny manMidwife - No Depression in Heaven [Official Album Stream]The Flenser2024-09-06 | Order No Depression in Heaven: flnsr.co/midwife European store: http://flnsr.co/eu Digital: orcd.co/ymyamrg

Lyrics:
Should I die among your sage My essence shall burst free and drain Through roots of those same droughted plants Who clasp your past; they understand That I once knew you, light and shade, And fell in peace like promised rain
But should I live, let me remain O draw me near; in pools I’ll stand And from your heat, draw shining strength While nestled in your sandstone hands Where we may watch your seasons rage And, graceless, dance along your strands
For I, too, am marred and strange By sun and wind and stars deplored A vagrant flood, a moth to flame, Adoring your unearthly forms
So wrap me in your fierce embrace And by our joining faults abide Forgive me what mistakes I’ve made And sing to me through vanished tides For quick or still, I shall hold true And ‘til, in time, my torrent breaks, Will judge your madness beautiful And linger by your slender sageMidwife - Killdozer (Official Music Video)The Flenser2024-06-11 | Order No Depression in Heaven: flnsr.co/midwife European store: http://flnsr.co/eu Digital: orcd.co/ymyamrg

Lyrics:
The mesa dreams its grueling dream Caustic and fragile And poisons paint its sleeping streams Venom and cadmium
What souls would roam your suffering slopes Shall stand transformed; their other course Is strewn with spines, cords bleached and tanned By brilliance, beast, or ferrous storm
My worn pride bruised the dust before My stricken weight, my burden spilled And picked apart by omnivores, Who slithered forth in armored plate From dens that pierce your scarp-swelled silt
Your cursed earth collects its tithe In fevers ‘tween the anticlines Where fools presumed to understand What waits for them in this drained landKathryn Mohr - Cut (Official Audio)The Flenser2024-05-07 | Download on Bandcamp: kathrynmohr.bandcamp.com

"Your Voice is Not Enough" stands as a heartfelt tribute to Low, a project born out of a conversation with Planning For Burial’s Thom Wasluck. Inspired by the nuanced beauty of Low's discography, what began as a discussion on ranking favorite albums blossomed into a collaborative effort that brought together our close-knit family of Flenser artists. Regrettably, the compilation took shape before the tragic passing of Mimi Parker, and in honoring her legacy, we dedicate this album to her memory, celebrating the profound impact she left on the music world.Have a Nice Life - When I Go Deaf (Official Audio)The Flenser2024-04-24 | Download on Bandcamp: haveanicelife.bandcamp.com

Lyrics:
hey Camellia, what are you doing? get your feet back on the ground and find out for yourself.
hey Tomato, feel the spring. give yourself another chance before you’re down. right now.
hey Georgia, where did you go? try to bring yourself around before you leave.
hey Rosemary, what on earth will make the bad thing go away. what do you need? what do you see
2.
When the hand Came down On Tennessee, Death came ripping. What do you want me to believe?
Fury born, Alight, Days deep. Crazy visions in a Stirred up kind of waking dream.
3.
When you were born, we held you. You didn’t know it but you took your name then and emerged later after so many years. Sweet like okra or a comatose reverie, you found light in the gentle friction between sense and reality.
Even as a child your features had definition. One folded into the next as though composed with intention. It’s true, there were many flowers like you in bloom then. Now, they toss atop bedsprings just to keep from eddying under. Their hands grip each other’s just to try to stay afloat and amidst the struggle, pleasure darts between them. It’s not easy.
These words weren’t meant for you but one day they find you through another. And through you, one day they find another. And then one day another. And one day another. It’s not easy.
Love should be easy to forget but it lingers like death. Happiness will never be a constant state of being. You find hope in brief, slipping grasps at revelation. You strive constantly to believe in a world just beyond the one you see. It comes to you sometimes, but only when you stop looking.Mamaleek - Vileness Slim [Official Video]The Flenser2024-04-02 | Order Vida Blue: flnsr.co/mamaleek European store: flnsr.co/eu Digital: orcd.co/rndwx4g

Weightless in the arid wind I plummet, wild and livid
Towards your sere terrain Cruel and perfect It burns, unconquered
Scarred and crenelated Where the waters went extinct Echoes from epochs of violence
That left its bones flayed And though I am afraid I rush towards your embrace
Here, in the basin of alkaline grief Loom the wounds in your soul, arrayed Beneath the heavens’ desiccant gaze

Standing at the edge of a frozen marsh while the tide comes in Somewhere in the restless dark of the woods behind me Swamp lantern glows And the deer makes her winter home Something so small can endure the cold Something so small can endure the cold
When the tide's coming in I am empty and wild I would run to your side In winter's light
When the tide's coming in I am empty and wild I would run to your side I would run to your side
The fawn's heart stirs And the dawn arrives with its fragile light And this ache is always with me Unending yearning for a place I'll never find Memory of a far-off fire Memory of a far-off fire Lost sanctuary of the heart's desire Lost sanctuary of the heart's desire
There is no return to a place before pain There is no return to a place before pain When the tide's coming in I am empty and wild I would run to your side I would run to your side When the tide's coming in I am empty and wild I would run to your side I would run to your side There is no return to a place before pain May we find shelter in what remains There is no return to a place before pain May we find shelter in what remainsRagana - DTA (Official Single Audio)The Flenser2023-09-06 | Order Desolation's Flower: flnsr.co/ragana European store: http://flnsr.co/eu Digital: orcd.co/qdkyq19

The Lamb as effigy sighs “I can’t believe it! All my birthdays, thoughts, and ass burnt to ashes! The critique does not exclude me! I’ve become the anathema!” Intimately wed to concept over practice The joke goes over my head but I am still laughing at it In the interest of impressions The winking bit of your balancing act Makes a fool of my wire affairs They all see my hand in my pants
Point and laugh at idle steers As if the flies don’t, on us too, land Flesh is flesh
And you are speaking to me and I am nodding my head I have so carefully adorned value upon the space between us Something peeping toms the words To hang a price tag on our interactions And you just killed me off in the film that you’re directing And we both smile and nod as I achieve erection I survived the initial crash But was smothered by the airbag
Point and laugh at idle steers As if the flies don’t, on us too, land Flesh is flesh A picture painted in my mind of you reclining nude With obscured intentions Set in bronze
Imagine this: I’m the guest on some obscene talk show In a cell of moral compromise The audience is made up of everyone that I have ever met in my entire life Every sin I’ve ever committed is put up on display by screens hung around the stage And we watch The host says “I now present to you an elaborate choreography of failure!” The audience erupts with seemingly coordinated jets of jargon laughter Ha Ha Ha! “Shame on you!”Ragana - Desolations Flower (Official Single Audio)The Flenser2023-08-01 | Order Desolation's Flower: flnsr.co/ragana European store: http://flnsr.co/eu Digital: orcd.co/qdkyq19

Here there’s not any plastic now Past the slightest flick of my brother’s tongue A snapshot of when the table melts There’ll be nothing left to prop you up To the detriment of all living things It is my vast repertoire of general shortcomings In the corner here where you hide your eyes And your face is red But no longer now Do I pity youAgriculture - Relier (Official Audio)The Flenser2023-06-28 | Order Agriculture: flnsr.co/ag European store: flnsr.co/eu Digital: orcd.co/zoaebnm

Relier, Relier, Relier. Outside my window is a tree I look forward to seeing it in the morning when I rise.
Relier, Relier, Relier This is the holy dark: outside choices that you can’t make how it’s beautiful to accept you are part of everything With no control. Trust! Trust! Trust! I call it God…

It’s about control or lack thereof A twist of fate A change A reversal The ox turned butcher The slave turned master The band turned audience Cue the doe in headlights eye Response to roadkill diatribe Finally I am my own wind, ship, sails, and oar I will be your target I will stand here like an idiot with an apple on my head While you hurl response like some blasphemous arrow Thus a guilt most crushing A Sisyphean guilt A heart hidden beneath the floorboards guilt William Tell Tale Heart A post-ejaculation man upstairs watching guilt Wet potential smeared across your stomach guilt And it’s entirely your own guilt Lacking any description worthy To subsume in just simple words Is a disservice to the blank sensation of When the sky has its way with you And you burn up in the atmosphere All creation whispers in your ear “Blessed is the dog defecating on your lawn, grinning” Inhale, exhale etcetera Animals eat animals etcetera Animals fuck animals etcetera Do I have to spell it out for you? The words printed in super nova bold: “I am always riding these rotations around the sun I am always riding this pretty bow tied on top, so tight as to never come undone”
The same joke twice but the second time louder An ocean of intellectual people laughing Sailing idiot waters forever While advertisements like nooses hang Covering up Man Proposes, God Disposes In preparation for a test taken in a play I’m always writing in my head And in it your character imagines Men hung up on meathooks in a butcher’s shop And eyed by oxen dressed in fur coats and leather hats Animals eat animals ad infinitum Cast in a starring role as flesh While everyone else you know plays motion Sparred details and generous skips to the good parts Signed by the sun with a wink and a thumbs up Dancing lucid in arachnid schemes
With arachnid reputation proceeding So contrary to a familiar soft A grasp for sense where there is none Sense is a spark between us Sense is a cross armed glance and silent nod between us Both shackled and accessed by a constant waltz Of pushing air and wagging tongues The intimate marriage of sensation and response An exchange of jargon from one orifice to the next All my thoughts are “Colorless green ideas sleep furiously.” All my thoughts, every one And through this I admire the farce of control And my total lack of wind, ship, sails, and oar Every grip sustained on tangible artifact Is an amusing thought and nothing moreAgriculture - The Glory of the Ocean [Single version] (Official Audio)The Flenser2023-05-31 | Order Agriculture: flnsr.co/ag European store: flnsr.co/eu Digital: orcd.co/zoaebnm

Starring Dimitri Domingo Conder Filmed and Edited by Sofia Caneles
Glory!
I saw the ocean from up on a hill And I looked out upon The waves
I looked out upon the waves Become individual things out of the mass Eternal Breaking all over themselves
I looked at the waves And felt surrounded
I felt the water deep in my lungs I felt the water deep in my lungs And I let myself slip away
Glory! Taking it in… My body – give it away.
An empty space With nothing after all
Yes! This it! This is the Ocean! My body – give it away.
Nothing to begin with And nothing after all
(Rise and Fall and rise and fall rise and fall ∞ )
Time held me green and dying In the mercy of it’s means Though I sang in my chains like the sea Time held me green and dying Though I sang in my chains like the sea

Lyrics: A mother Reaching out with a tiny mouth “I can’t just watch the boy die” All alone, and both of us crying The sand gets wet Two little salty piles Mother and child alone Bright eyes Opened up by mighty hands The well was always there “Fill the skin and give the boy a drink” Let the sand get wet There is always plenty of water Mother and child alone

ENJOY
It’s just a tired meat suit It's a pillow that you don't really like It's the helicopters over your house It's the enamel on your teeth You can't begin to enjoy If all you've ever done is enjoy You can't begin to live If all you've ever done is live You can't begin to escape If all you've ever done is escape It's a Trojan horse When was the last time you ended up unscathed It's a waterfall When was the last time you saw a waterfall
Aha, aha, aha Did you ever know
And then the violence comes To lift your face and run To elevate the clown Hateful patterns in your thumb Dealing yourself crumbs Always sitting numb Dangerously high and dumb Fine with whatever comes
I want to run with you Paralysis for two A temporary hue Annihilation Station Death to red and blue Brains squeezing out Filling me with flavors
Parked it and felt it Gripped it and ripped it Gazed it and quit it Pulled in then reversed it Broke into flames I Sealing inside I I have the fault linesMidwife & Vyva Melinkolya - Miss America (Official Music Video)The Flenser2023-04-11 | Order Orbweaving: flnsr.co/nmp European store: flnsr.co/eu Digital: orcd.co/q8aojma
