Master of your destiny You feel you're truly in control You're not in control, you're not in control Pre-determination We are so young, but feel so old We wear long sleeves when it's not even cold If that night we died, if we reached too high And killed ourselves while trying to fly You know our lives would have been fulfilled We would've laughed at the gates of heaven Our lives would've been fulfilled Pre-determination I don't want to know who else you fucked I don't want to know who else you've given you're love to I just want the illusion that i'm tasting a virgin That i'm tasting a virgin Are you clean enough for me? Want the illusion that i'm tasting a virgin Are you clean enough for me? This does not feel pure anymore

Finally, one of your kind I place my heart inside your hands I place my heart inside your hands Caged by friends turned lovers too long I patiently wait I will not cut in line You'll feel no restraint from me I can't do that to your kind I kiss you on the cheek You tell me not to call you baby Well I will not call baby if you wish You say "have you seen the dove? It'll take flight soon enough" Well i'm already full from that dish Yes, i'm already full from that dish Finally, one of your kind I place my heart inside your hands I place my heart inside your hands Keep it simple, I think not As humans we love complexity Bound together, so intricately You be the needle and the thread I'll be the seam So stitch up me Stitch up me Stitch up me (x?)

Concubine 04:35
Met her in the afterglow How could I not love her? She don't love Jesus But i'm sure the pussy's like butter Darling, please, I need you Your mind and body's milk and honey I'll buy you hits and dresses For you i'll dip into church money Met her once again in the afterlife Burned together in both our lives (x2) We should have saved it until marriage (x2) Because you're mine My body like a serpentine concubine Because you're mine My sultry little angel hussy concubine Concubine Are you a virtuous woman? Why, i'm not sure yet I'm willing to dig a lot deeper At least until one of our deaths And we will fall into the grave of the hole I dug us I dig you, you dig me, we dig each other, we dig us Her angelic image burned into your brain After too much deep thought of it all You forgot to take a breath Well what's wrong with death? Well, plenty I just hope I can convince her to sin with me And then be born again with me Stranger, I cannot live without you Sometimes my mouth does strange things out of impulse It'd do even stranger things to her Her soul is saying yes But her head just isn't nodding yet And her body isn't... Oh oh oh, concubine You look so god damn fine I want to drug you up So you'll want to be mine I'll make you think it's God And you'll think i'm the one I saw you bathing on my neighbors roof Now me and my neighbor trading hate for clues Put him at the front of the line and made him meet that shameful doom Coveting my neighbors wife though her rose could use a shave or two Fuck her once then end my life for I wish to die covered in her fumes Covered in her fumes We should have saved it until marriage (x2) Because you're mine My body like a serpentine concubine Because you're mine My perfect little angel hussy concubine Concubine

I did not make her cry More so, I let her cry I'm sure it must have stung when I came into her eyes I did not force her to believe, But rather let her be informed And eventually the benefits will become her sharpened sword I did not rape the girl But rather gave her what she deserved And afterwards she asked me "Baby, what is for dessert?" They say I rocked her world when her world was rocked by natural causes And when she started bleeding I was leaking like a faucet Leaking like a faucet (x?)

I am the voice of one crying out from the wilderness Even more so than before My first taste of sin, my new sense of bewilderment Why was I never into this before? To hell with locusts and wild honey I'm on the hamburgers ad pizza Born to raise some fucking terror For I was once Middle Eastern Wiping my own blood off the crucifix Not cut out to be a preacher Jesus was not born on Christmas Jesus did not die on Easter Ooh, you thought that she was yours? Guess again. She's mine, fella But if she ever get out of control You lock her in that wine cellar Merlot, Chardonnay Communion, church collection plate Don't you forget, this is His blood Maybe the good Lord will get to her She makes love like it's Valentine's Day on Halloween She makes love like it's Halloween on Valentine's This little light of mine I'm gonna let it grind Tears in her husband's eyes They're no concern of mine This little light of mine, i'm gonna let it grind She'll make the darkest circle of hell seem like paradise Paradise Even though we reside in a lake of fire you still You still keep me coming Even though we reside in a hell for the liars you still You still keep me cumming Coming, cumming, My dear
6.
Even though we reside in a lake of fire You still keep me cumming Even though we reside in a hell for liars You still keep me cumming Well i've never heard you whisper my name in my ear No, i've only heard you scream it, my dear (x2) Lock her in the wine cellar Throw away the key She's gonna drink herself to death And they won't blame thee (x2) Never heard you whisper my name in my ear No, i've only heard you scream it, my dear (x2) My dear Lock her in the wine cellar Throw away the key She'll drink herself to death And they won't blame me She'll keep it to herself With her in hell it will reside You never knew the truth You only knew her side You never knew the truth She took it with her when she died Never heard you whisper my name in my ear No, i've only heard you scream it, my dear (x2) My dear Even though we reside in a lake of fire You still keep me cumming Even though we reside in a hell for liars You still keep me cumming So keep me cumming, angel (x3)

Everybody wants to go to your piss reekin' abode Well honey, i've grown tired of the smell It's the place that you call home, well honey you're on your own Rather have a nose full of brimstone in hell Everybody wants to go to your piss reekin' abode Well honey, I can't take the chance to stink I'm a well-respected man, and if i'm seen on your land I may never be considered clean again Everybody wants to go, everybody wants to go Everybody loves the smell of urine in their nose And there's a girl in the other room That i'm to shy to go talk to But the only reason she doesn't love me is because we've yet to be introduced Everybody wants to go to your feces creek Well honey i've grown tired of the sludge If I can't go my preferred speed then this just ain't what I need Rather sit at home and watch the toilet flush Everybody wants to swim, everybody wants to swim Nobody realizes the deep shit that their in And there's a woman in the other room Not confident enough to go talk to But the only reason she doesn't hate me is because she knows I gotta bone to pick with you Everybody wants to go (x3) Everybody wants to go (x3) And there's somebody in the other room That i'm too afraid to go talk to And the only reason he exists Is because I gave you the time of day I gave you the time of day (x4)

I've lost the game again I've lost the game Oh I wish that I could play again But i've lost the game again I've lost the game again I've lost the game Oh I wish my lives were infinite For i've lost the game again

I think i'm hitting my end-life crisis Bought an Alsatian I couldn't take care of Lesions in my lungs because I smoke too much Well I got a little too drunk last night This seems to happen often Church in the morning and my head is fucking pounding And i've lost all faith in humanity When I look in the mirror it's not a man I see I don't wanna be human anymore (x2) Well i've got my blood, i've got my flesh I think i'm smarter than the rest And i'm the only thing worth living for Because there's no life left in humanity In humanity Well all of this fornication Has become my salvation When I reach the ejaculation I go to a space station So don't cut me off, baby Don't cut me off You'll sever my limbs if you cut me off from that sweet medicine Well I know I lust over your flesh But i'm better at it than the rest Now get back in this bed and quit acting like you don't want it Come on, baby Lay with me (x2) I'll start believin' when you stop your treason I'll start believin' then (x2) I'll start believin' when you stop decievin' I'll start believin' then End-life crisis (x?) Well i've got my blood, i've got my flesh I think i'm smarter than the rest And i'm the only thing worth living for Because there's no life left in humanity In humanity

There's a lot of people in this world that claim they're truly righteous But when they were young they were always truants of Sunday school As I come down from the mountain, I see dying all around Not of earthly form but death of spirit It's like Sodom and Gomorrah All over again Can't believe my own hometown So tainted in sin Yeah, you all fucking need Jesus You all fucking need God The high from the Holy Spirit's Stronger than that shitty coke you're on Don't be fooled Even roses have thorns Just like the love of a whore gives sores And the valiant knight with blood on his sword Through my sins, I pray I may walk with the Lord (Amen!) And you'll never find your spirit in a bottle of spirits, child By now you should know this very well Stick with the wine and the herbs and what comes from the Earth But remember excess is a gold ticket to Hell Don't stick your phallus in the chalice unless you're married in spirit Legal documentation's a new thing, you don't need it Just make sure your love is true That's what the Lord wants you to do These are my contemporary commandments to you Perceive them how they are perceived by you And most of all Don't be fooled Even roses have thorns Just like the love of a whore gives sores And the valiant knight with blood on his sword Through my sins, I pray I may walk with the Lord (Amen!) (Hallelujah! (x4)) I am a vampyre (I am a vampyre) For the blood of Jesus I am a vampyre (I am a vampyre) For the blood of the lamb (x2) Don't be fooled Even roses have thorns

You're good at making bad decisions I'm good at having things to hide And always when I threaten to skedaddle Every time, you threaten suicide Just when I thought I couldn't hate you any greater Baby, look at who you are now Baby, I am your creator The other night you drank your weight in whiskey As I puffed on that tainted cigar And the entire time you told me how much you've missed me And I say "Baby, I did not miss you at all" Just when you thought you could've made me any better It seems I did the more construction on you I can't leave you behind But I can't wait on you I can't wait on you I can't wait I swear i'm fine, leave me alone Cut me up another line of that coke We couldn't even save it until the morning I feel something new in the atmosphere It's something that makes me wish you weren't here Could I once again be seeing Jesus? Just when I thought I couldn't perceive you as more wicked I see the sins in you That can never be forgiven They can never be forgiven They can never be You're going to hell (x4)

I broke down all your walls Now you got nowhere to hide I broke down all your walls You are naked to my eye Like a poetic justice Like a didactic practice Witchcraft and black magic You got the soul of Jezebel and Delilah You should remain here in this asylum Cease their heartbreak, cease their cryin' Solitary confinement And you'll feel so out of place Like a flosser among the leaves It's such a fall from grace To fall so far from the tree Everything in it's right place Like the Radiohead song You said "baby, I need some space" That's when everything went wrong I've wrestled with the Devil I've conversed with the Lord I'm on a different level You got a face-full of porn You got that sexual demon (sexual demon) [several times) Cut off your hand if it causes you to sin Pluck out your eye if it causes you to sin Cut off your dick if it causes you to sin Your head from the neck, if it causes you to sin You got a throat full of cum You got a mouthful of seed You've got the power to deceive But you won't get a load off of me Cum swallower Cum swallower Seed swallower Seed swallower

I don't believe in anything that I see But what hurts the most Is that i'm a mortal that eats and sleeps and breathes But I just wanna get drunk I just wanna get plastered Live fast and die young Get to Heaven faster

about

"Don't Be Fooled" is not a gospel album. Don't let the name "Johnny the Baptist" fool you. He is not a prophet. He is not here to impose judgement on you, or to force Christianity on you. He is simply, as the original John the Baptist put it, "the voice of one crying from the wilderness".
However, these songs ARE indeed spiritual in nature. They represent the struggle to remain righteous in a wilderness of sin, eventually leading to absolute failure; reduced to the cries of one unsure of if they'll make it to heaven... or anywhere at all.

Welcome to the first installation of the wilderness of Johnny the Baptist.

EXPLICIT LYRIC WARNING. This is NOT "Christian" music. Listener discretion is advised.
