Band member quotes

 * As a human being I am lost, and as an artist I am looking for answers. Yet the lost look toward me, the artist, for answers. It’s kind of fucked up in a way, and I wish I could do more to help, but I have a hard job looking after myself, let alone other people

 * Why is something so ordinary, mundane and natural so fucking terrifying?
 * Karl Steiger on death, malfated.com


 * Here, let me define 'funny' for you - some guy in his 60s singing 'hope I die before I get old'. Now that's entertainment.
 * Karl Steiger, malfated.com


 * I’ve often heard people complain, ‘Oh, well, there are only seven notes, it’s hard to come up with an original tune’. Well, boo hoo. But I’ll tell you something - there are over a million words in the English language and there is no justification for shit lyrics.

 * We reproduce - our flesh, our blood, our bone But when we die, we enter death alone...
 * Tomorrow


 * Fortune helps those who help themselves The time is here for funeral bells Treat me as befits a knave Cast me to an unmarked grave.
 * To The Body Broken


 * Candy sticks and cigarettes Ladies and gentlemen, cast your bets Today's the day that somebody dies Today's the day when I will rise... -
 * To The Body Broken


 * Welcome, one and all, to the amazing Dr. Pibb's He'll make a penis from a buttock and a woman from a rib And if you've lost your follicles and wish that you were dead he'll take hairs from your testicles and sew them on your head
 * Dr. Pibb


 * Laying in a bed in a room in Texas Propped up reading Miller's ‘Sexus’ Scotch on the side and a Pentagram ashtray Girls on the floor from last night's roleplay Smoke a cigarette, risking cancer That's just me, I'm a bit of a chancer A knock on the door says it's time to go Time to get this road on the show...
 * The Company of Strangers
