Apologies if this has been asked many times, I'm sure it has, but there's never too much appreciation for Trevor's lyrics, he's the GOAT IMO.

As much as it is a rogue pick due to it being one of their grizzliest songs, the Lonely Deceased to me is absolutely peak. It's humorous but so well written, and every single lyric flows so well. "my sordid transpirings well into each eve", "forensically frolicking while god is in bed", downright poetic. And the whole bridge section is incredible.

To a Breathless Oblivion and Receipt are also up there for me but they're a lot sadder to listen to now.

I don’t know if it’s just me but this song had the most emotion I felt from Trevor , the last line especially, last line in an album called ritual… “suicide is the only way out” did Trevor know something , also this song is the ritual of indoctrination, mentions lord belial , pulling strings , is suicide the ultimate sacrifice? Sacrificing others you don’t lose anything… an excuse to hurt others just sadism or control fetish , a real sacrifice is your own body and own pain , suicide is the most powerful sacrifice I feel , the most devotion you can show , no one else matters , just you and a dirty you’re showing devotion to by the ultimate sacrifice, giving up everything you are
