Cavity King Lyrics
Desires in conquest to
Murder her maim her
Progress possession in blackmail entrails to
Pursuit your end for
Regret with shame no end to shade
Bait her in comfort complete
Then move to kill
Red ink
Spills from her veins
Your quill still draws her in
Red ink
Spills from her veins
In curses, in cursive
This is regret in it's purest
A simple plan here
Your on the trail of the
Hunted, haunted now
Smiling and nodding
She'll go without a fight (without a fight)
To your delight
She's unaware
Unaware
She's helpless in your sights
Encounters
Though brief
Murdering heaping
The coals, the heat
Surgery pending
You're
The king
Of cavity quenching by
Inching
The tips
Of fingers across the
Forbidden
Forbidden
Forbidden
I know
You ache
But she is alive
I know
You ache
But she's more than a story
Your entries made public
Your journals in crimson
Her veins filled with red ink
Your quill spills in crimson
Murder her maim her
Progress possession in blackmail entrails to
Pursuit your end for
Regret with shame no end to shade
Bait her in comfort complete
Then move to kill
Red ink
Spills from her veins
Your quill still draws her in
Red ink
Spills from her veins
In curses, in cursive
A simple plan here
Your on the trail of the
Hunted, haunted now
Smiling and nodding
She'll go without a fight (without a fight)
To your delight
She's unaware
Unaware
She's helpless in your sights
Though brief
Murdering heaping
The coals, the heat
Surgery pending
You're
The king
Of cavity quenching by
Inching
The tips
Of fingers across the
Forbidden
Forbidden
Forbidden
You ache
But she is alive
I know
You ache
But she's more than a story
Your journals in crimson
Her veins filled with red ink
Your quill spills in crimson

This song makes me think of Jefferey Epstein 💀 In fact, it was released in 2005, the year before he got arrested.
[Edit: To add more details]
It means the pain of sexual sin. I know this because andrew said it himself. But I have no idea what sexual sin and red ink and a quill have to do with it...
here's how i see it. red ink would signify passion/lust since passion is usually represented in red. the quill is probably the words that the man uses to entice the girl in this song (quills were used to write back in the day)
The song is about how guys bait girls with talk of love when all they really want is sex. "Bait her in comfort complete then move to kill"
The red ink is the girl's love, which is compared with blood in the song as the guy is bleeding her dry, drawing in all her love when he does not return it. The quill is the guy's lust, taking the love and turning it into "curses in cursive."
The last part of the song "I know you ache but she is alive" is a cry out for those guys to stop doing it.
@Skillet7 "she is alive" can also mean that she is an individual created in the image of God and not just someone to have sex with.

good one skillet
Yea, very nice. I love me a good Project song.
good stuff. I heart P86. Excellent live band
I don't think that it means for guys to stop doing it. I think that it means, despite what has happened to her, she's strong enough to get through it.
i think skillet pretty much got it, but there's more to be explained. Yes, the man takes the red ink(love/blood) from here with his lust (quill). The end is really important. The title "cavity king" is revealed here. "The king Of cavity quenching by inching the tips of fingers across the Forbidden" The man is empty so he is "cavity quenching". Schwab understands the man aches but the girl is human and doesn't deserve this. THe man then brags to his friends about his conquest. THen it goes to say..."Your entries made public Your journals in crimson Her veins filled with red ink Your quill spills in crimson" THis means that the man now filled with her love(red ink), only contains "crimson" to write with. Crimson not being as pure. So the man has something much less pure. The overall moral is to chose love over lust as it is more pure.
nice work on the red ink= love and quill= lust. the song makes way more sense now. i love it
