HailSatanDrinkCoffee Hectorina dissolves the alt-rock genre in a solvent of catchy riffs and lyrical genius. The energy of this album ebbs and flows, mirroring the dynamic, beautiful, and frustrating nature of our relationships. Much love from a fellow Charlottean! Favorite track: Alright, You Win This Time, but Next Time....

Yesterday morning I woke up feeling blue. I decided I couldn't live without you. I dropped what I was doing, I left it all behind as I drove to your house later that night. I want I want I want I want to be well. I want I want I want I want to be well. It's all I... all I... all I've ever wanted, baby. I got down on one knee as you opened up your door and asked you to be mine forever more. You said "Yes" and I must confess it's the happiest I have been in a long time. Maybe in my lifetime. I want I want I want I want to be well. I want I want I want I want to be well. It's all I... all I... all I've ever wanted, baby. As we embraced I felt sharp stinging in my side. I looked down and saw you holding a butcher's knife. As I lay bleeding in your living room you looked down at me and smiled and said "I love you too". I want I want I want I want to be well. I want I want I want I want to be well. It's all I... all I... all I've ever wanted, baby. From my pool of blood you smiled down at me and I was so, so, so, so happy... and then I woke up.

I was gonna be the gunslinger, dead ringer. I was gonna go 10,000 miles, 10,000 miles! Help you up on your green horse, no remorse. We were gonna burn that motel down. Burn it to the ground! Who's gonna love you, baby? Now the hounds have gotten their fill. No ones gonna love you like I loved you, baby. No ones gonna love you like I loved you, baby. We were gonna be the poltergeist, the antichrist. It was gonna be the end of time, the end of time! And you were gonna let me burn, both our turns. But I had a chance to snuff out that flame. Choke out that flame! Who's gonna love you, baby? Now the hounds have gotten their fill. No ones gonna love you like I loved you, baby. No ones gonna love you like I loved you, baby. All that's left inside your mind is pure evil. All that's left inside your mind is the damned devil.

Shriving Pew 01:55
I came to the house of a preacher man and I told him that I'd hurt a lot of people in my life and I'm searching for some f-f-f-f-forgiveness. He said "Boy, your life has just begun and things haven't gotten nearly as hard as they're gonna be. I hope that you're ready!" But, Father, can't you save my life? No one can judge me for what I've done. I'll do whatever I can. I know I'll change in time. He said "It all ends here if you mean what you say." I swear to God I didn't hear that man. I thought that I could go on living the way that I used to. Drinking and swearing and cruising the streets all night. Brother, drink up your wine. Come on everybody, let's go out dancing. I'll do whatever it takes but not tonight. Who's gonna save my life? No one can judge me but God himself. I try to tell myself that he's not there but that's a damn lie. And it could all end here if I mean what I say.

I'm out in the cold, oh baby. Feel it in my soul, baby. You, you. Baby, baby, baby I'm alone in winter. Soaking up your heat to endure the shiver. Send out signals for thousands of miles. Wrapped up tight in telephone wires. I wanna get inside of your heart. I wanna get inside of your heart. Baby, please I've got the key. Open up and give it to me. Crawl across the sun, oh baby. Starting to burn, baby. You, you. Baby, baby, baby getting caught in a dust storm. I can hear the howling winds they're getting closer. Traipse over sands, they're melting my bones. The heart of death valley can't even come close. I wanna get inside of your heart. I wanna get inside of your heart. Baby, please I've got the key. Open up and give it to me. Show me how you dream as you fall asleep. Wandering eyes saw the light. Knocking on your door, you leave me wanting more. Wandering eyes saw the light. Have you felt so alive you almost died? I wanna get inside of your heart. I wanna get inside of your heart. Baby, please I've got the key. Open up and give it to me.

Slave 02:27
I was the slave of a lover who'd rather keep me in shackles and persuade me that we were drinking tea in a creamsicle dream. There was a time when you could ease the doubts I held inside of my mind. When we drank cherry wine you'd reach out with both your hands to cover my eyes. And though all my chains were wrapped so sweetly, now I see that... I was the slave of a lover who had me drinking her poison. Day after day I was swept away in a nectarine scented haze. There was a time when you could ease the doubts I held inside of my mind. When we drank cherry wine you'd reach out with both your hands to cover my eyes. And though all my chains were wrapped so sweetly, now I see that... I was a slave.

Velma 05:38
Since I've been carried away subconscious thought is blurring my daze. Yours truly under falling confetti. My only goal is taking it easy. Twisted spine, Twisted spine. One of these days I'm gonna start sleeping right. Since I've been carried away, a fool's paradise radiating. Yours truly floating on a baby grand 'cross a sea of broken glass. Twisted spine, Twisted spine. One of these days I'm gonna start sleeping right. Laughing hard finally at last. Laughing hard finally at last. Laughing hard finally at last. Laughing hard finally at last. Laughing hard finally at last. Laughing hard...

Darling, what's with all this blood on my hands? Push my coffin through electric factory land. Baby, what's the point in art or love if we're all going to turn into dust? Maybe the kids wont even hear these songs. They'll simply feel their pupils enlarged. Stretching out inside a shrinking cage.

Sometimes I wonder what's gonna happen to you. I was in it for the long haul but baby you were just so, so cruel. You've got my mind messed up. You got my mind messed up. Baby, You got my mind messed up. Sometimes I think you'll never smile again unless you go back in time and relive your life as a kid. Sneaking beer into Brocktown with your friends. Things were so much easier then. But I will never find another lover that makes me feel the way that you did. I will never find another lover that makes me feel the way that you did. I used to love it baby when you'd tear open my breasts and vomit all your insecurities inside my chest and I'd feed on it. I still feed on it. It's not healthy. The girl I knew is dead. I grieve her everyday. You've got my mind messed up. She's got my mind messed up. Baby, You got my mind messed up. Sometimes I think you'll never smile again. All that anger inside. Can't you see that I was trying to love you then? Now you done got yourself another man. Can't you see that I'm better than him? But I will never find another lover that makes me feel the way that you did. I will never find another lover that makes me feel the way that you did. I used to love it baby when you'd tear open my breasts and vomit all your insecurities inside my chest and I'd feed on it. I still feed on it. It's not healthy. Sometimes I wonder what's gonna happen to you.

Why should I wait? Happiness is just around the corner. What could be pleasing me the most about chasing all these ghosts? Bygone days boasting fabrications now. Why should I wait? Happiness is just around the corner. Now I think: "Is thought simply the same as conversing with my brain?" Talking to myself. Losing sense of self. Why should I wait? Happiness is just around the corner. It would ease my mind to let the sun rain down upon my third eye.

I've waited a lifetime just to be a child. Will I always be a child? Maybe I should try a little bit harder. Maybe you shouldn't get so mad to start with. You've wasted no time shedding all your skin, but not your bad habits. Maybe I should try a little bit harder. Maybe you shouldn't get so mad to start with. Let the pieces fall into place. The biggest jigsaw ever solved. I wish you were... I want you! I want you! The distinctive beat of clanking bones. In the brush I howl alone. Bark a tune 'til someone sings along. Now you're haunting me like a ghost. Sleeping in ten feet of snow. The sparrow sings a song in the pine grow. He'll sing a song so everyone will know. I wont ever be what you wanted me to be. I just wish you'd let me rest. I wish you were dead. Sooner or later everyone I know will track me down and slit my throat. They'll cheer aloud when I can sing no more. Now you're haunting me like a ghost. Sleeping in ten feet of snow. The sparrow sings a song in the pine grow. He'll sing a song so everyone will know. I wont ever be what you wanted me to be. I just wish you'd let me rest. I wish you success. I want you!

Maybe it's for the best that it's over and done with. Oh baby, I hope you're happy with someone new. Someone who can make you feel the way I wanted. I hope you don't go your whole life thinking that I didn't care about you cause I did and I do. Maybe we'll meet again when we're older and wiser. Oh baby, wouldn't it be beautiful for me and you to finally be what I always wanted. I hope you don't go your whole life thinking that I didn't care about you cause I did and I do.
