Disclaimer To The Self Lyrics
The demons swallowed treasures, replaced hymns with evil deeds scribed in chicken scratch compositions in the black halls beneath this filthy city. Laced with shit, this love affair all black hearts, and tragic heights. Keep on listening to our sanguine symphony. We'll keep conducting the color of midnight. When the muse whispers her forked tongue lulls me to sleep.
You must be mistaken my darling. This is not the prelude to a kiss, this is obsession, void of aesthetics, lacking compassion, a disclaimer to the self, you sought your god in the tempest of self severed strings hammered out in the key of X.
This is the new cutting edge. Sixth sense limitations dragging me down. Your transcendence of nothing has fueled the flames of our choir. This is my therapy, singing the praises of razor wire.
Embrace the sweet sound of self destruction.
Wield words like knives and razor wire. A kiss goodbye is a kiss of death. Conducting our ballad with seven broken strings. A sound so sanguine until our ears bleed. Orchestrating until we bleed.

wow, i can't believe no one has commented on this song yet.. yeah, my favorite part is:
"You must be mistaken my darling. This is not the prelude to a kiss, this is obsession, void of aesthetics, lacking compassion, a disclaimer to the self, you sought your god in the tempest of self severed strings hammered out in the key of X."
his voice is definitly awesome too..
yeah. awesome part that is!! no doubt about that! and the lyrics in general are pretty good! i like the pictures they're painting in my head... errrmmm... well..... yeah.
"You must be mistaken my darling." I love that part and.. "Wield words like knives and razor wire. A kiss goodbye is a kiss of death." Anyway.. Circle Takes The Square rocks. :)
this is the first song i heard by them and it totally got me hooked. amazing.
One of my favorites on the EP, the begininng is just intense. As the Roots Undo is where its at though.
As the Roots Undo is amazing. CTTS is what screamo is SUPPOSED to sound like. Not any of this Static Lullaby bullshit.
These lyrics are good, but the As The Roots Undo lyrics are even better. I just submitted the whole album so it should be up within the next day or so.
I havent actully heard this band but ive been looking up there lyrics and there pretty good. I hope to lision to them soon. i really like "Embrace the sweet sound of self destruction." and "Wield words like knives and razor wire."
I think that CTTS is describing their own music here, first saying what its not (ie romantic, beautiful, angelic) then saying what it is: an emotional catharsis (therapy) with chicken-scratched lyrics by demons.
"this is the new cutting edge"= pun, CTTS avant-garde and it cuts you, so deep!
