Teeth nailing
Their own tongues
Anger rising up in torn lungs
Rack, shackled in torture

Severed veins reach up
In rapture

Crawl into
Nightfall
Fetuses in
Plastic walls
Black tempest
The snake
Madly scraping
Back the fake

[Rip skin
Bind fist
Infect the mother
Flick the switch
Grind skull
God’s shit
Infect the mother
Flick the switch]

Slash pretty
When she dreams
Stalking breath as leather screaming
Hail Mary
Horror beads
Eyes that cut through shadows, seething

Choke frantic
Constrain
Manically scratch off the stain
Virgin daughters
In line
Marching off to matricide

[CHORUS 4x]

    when your in the womb, at the beginning you don't really have a gender so your kind of a female by default 'Virgin daughters In line Marching off to matricide' the fetus is a virgin and kind of by default female. i can imagine bleeding and torn people in line in white marching off to matricide

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
