in the rain collapse cross out which way we'll go the ever last while
the wind attacks the past truth and times so shallow develop an attitude
more time decay lapse in fortify the self cutter inbred and forever more
faith bleeding eyes conjure pain distant do distant blood life take away
cold the war fast forward owning self-destruction and all achieve a missile
tests mortifying flash huddles 'round the radio and tube console to control
lives are the arm (alive saw the arm?) levels of toxic waste disgrace intolerant
all that's been done built up for a future race that's never won
faith from god meet the maker's face distant book in time forever hate
that's mine blown fuse shortens with man's progression decipher what's
relative legal beaurocrat push us with a tender finger whose politics are
those with an X man overcame further as you left him blind two gaping holes
undriven carnivore nature's regret of all things brutalised and can it be
that need no ??? on our way faith blood make face visionary
that's all there is in a gleam halo all jaded weakness corruption
runs harmonious begin by extremes doorway extinction resist
repression is based on god for a length of time full of elemental powers
inbred and no brilliance no fortune could buy this power

Antagonism
flesh makes a stretch through the hoop again no faults nothing ever gained
livid fear, our time has come about what was believed now turned inside out
drastic hate, frantic air growing up while inching near a reason no throwing
back down in it's place cutting in with open space cancer in each new cell
rotting food left on the shelf
alive yet unaware asking do you really care
Nivek, rehgard with care witness our philosophy
melting features came to the light remains burn out comes rushing back again
cold claws lifeless abject hate power unleashed a vagrant mind in bits
grasping for warm embrace detest all views of place remember...
alive yet unaware asking do you really care alive alive
exiting crystal set view left below no truth now burning bright inside
absinthe grows cold open scar on the wall disregarded no bitter rotten
flames rip and follow break through never saw this inching near enough
fleeting, the image cracks ripping past the frame love's never came
wrapping the face dripping blade in love receding wrenching the image cell
who will decide what goals we set
alive yet unaware asking do you really care
listen as the hours pass back on the bridge again rebuild
nothing's quite the same slipped poison cancer central brain retracing
he steps so easily mislaid knife in my hand so don't you make demands
discorse at times or is it just in my mind
alive yet unaware asking do you really care
oh my god my god help me god help me
witness eyes eyes reveal witness eyes eyes quickening
livid fear, our time has come about what was believed now turned inside out
drastic hate, frantic air growing up while inching near a reason no throwing
back down in it's place cutting in with open space cancer in each new cell
rotting food left on the shelf
alive yet unaware asking do you really care

Dig It
(Dig it dig it)
Love cannot attach itself to binding ugliness
rot in silence to advise life
the point at hand indifference
resolving of each others needs dress it up in false kindness
create empathy
hungry lie beside name
your game
feelings feeling
sorry that I ever came dissolve taste sweet
nothing corporate
nothing illogical of own accord
with choice of politics
open your eyes to verify the life experience
practitioner of medicine belong until the end
bringing hope scars the point extend eternity
(Dig it dig it)
execute economic slave
(Dig it dig it)
fill it unearthly remains
(Dig it dig it)
freedom as an offering
(Dig it dig it) ask again
flesh and bone attach itself to ancient monuments
unsurpassed except for us unheard violence departure from the fragrant
ledge fallen magistrate give it back a claim to right value
ecstasy hungry live
decide name

feelings feeling
sorry that I ever came sugar and water dissolves the taste sweet nothing
(Dig it dig it)

freedom as an offering
(Dig it dig it) ask again
(D...Do ya hear that?
The music.
A band.
Do you hear it?
There's somebody here!)
(Halleluja)
boils bitten haggard pick
vomit kicking out
razor slide
black eye shroud
brain bespattered
jaw retaliate begrudgingly
precise as what it seems fear of claim upon the cyst
pent up carnal grin live decide name your game feelings feeling sorry that I ever came too far away game game

Chainsaw
forlorn lists true contempt destruct dripping
red is it time to come clean wash away
everything hold the frame still life focus
ones intent to not be noticed lost in lies
graceful charms losing touch with everyone
management terms and conditions waiting for
own in addition contract is raised
the worlds greatest mortuary self destruct
mechanism introvert overturn assasination
make from steel the ugly weapon killers
instinct from man to trigger peaceful time
direct potentia living through ones own
dimentia come on hold arms dissect division
caress duress invite delusion back moving
through the keyhole trust in keeping a value
judgement overthrown like a somnambulist
twisting and churning in retrospect management
inedible benign applicants crime to everlasting eternal peace

Addiction
Desperate
Deranged
Talking in my sleep again
Eyes twitch
Retain
A sentimental something
Looked lorn
And we burned and burned
I was a cinder body soul in my dreams
Breakdown amid the mixtures
Avoid addictive plea
Responding disillusion
Encrusted cruelty
Describe why nails enclose me
Eating so easily
There exists a lot of reasons
To support fatality
Abstinence
Possessed
Hardly
What you think it is
Hearts beat positive
Provided there's progress
Ignorance
Does insist of the right coffin
Took some food offered me
Can't see myself
Drank the wine
Wished the feverish burst of terror
Breakdown amid the mixtures
Avoid addictive plea
Insist that nothing happened
Chilled, bloodless fatigue
Recharge with bitterness
Fanatics beckoning
Mistook a look impassioned
Absorbed with clarity
Consciousness drifts away
Discarded memory
Packaged shelf life bad display
Breakdown amid the mixtures
Avoid addictive plea
Excessive neuromances
Comfort is treachery
So pound the nails in tight
Eyes screaming out of sight
Against a grain-like curtain
Unbearably alive
Deranged
Talking in my sleep again
Eyes twitch
Retain
A sentimental something
Looked lorn
And we burned and burned
I was a cinder body soul in my dreams
Breakdown amid the mixtures
Avoid addictive plea
Responding disillusion
Encrusted cruelty
Describe why nails enclose me
Eating so easily
There exists a lot of reasons
To support fatality
Abstinence
Possessed
Hardly
What you think it is
Hearts beat positive
Provided there's progress
Ignorance
Does insist of the right coffin
Took some food offered me
Can't see myself
Drank the wine
Wished the feverish burst of terror
Breakdown amid the mixtures
Avoid addictive plea
Insist that nothing happened
Chilled, bloodless fatigue
Recharge with bitterness
Fanatics beckoning
Mistook a look impassioned
Absorbed with clarity
Consciousness drifts away
Discarded memory
Packaged shelf life bad display
Breakdown amid the mixtures
Avoid addictive plea
Excessive neuromances
Comfort is treachery
So pound the nails in tight
Eyes screaming out of sight
Against a grain-like curtain
Unbearably alive

Stairs and Flowers
...side of the house, touching each other. Those apple trees are really sickly, look, the fruit's all deformed. Even the flowers are ugly, and look at the foundation, it's enormous! It's too big for this house, like, some other kind of building stood here originally. That's strange, isn't it? Hmmm... It could support a castle
Seem solid
Floor could be rotted up there
Carol!
Colin...
Don't do that damn you!
I'm alright. What happened?
What do you mean what happened? I just slipped down these damn stairs!
Ow! (Breathing)
Seem solid
Floor could be rotted up there
Carol!
Colin...
Don't do that damn you!

Deep Down Trauma Hounds
injured plea crushed destiny deep down
trauma hounds run to corrode integrity whatever matters and it would
they fail to see they make believe reality helpless deaths
ignored to be judged as juvenile head caves in growing pains no time
remains for fantasy tyrrany exists shrink beneath the ingrown thorns forced
to accept pledge allegiance to a flag tested to forget you must
resist they want you dead feels emptyness eternity keeps swallowing
digested benefactors whose silence deafens anything all of whom
decease and miss to pierce a point objects and lessons to realize
it's not the way what's the point of giving up leaving won't change anything
political resentment to push away all growth withing puzzles me offers
soul to nothing the message screams it's purity that those with no rights
display the right to have no life do have respect they must accept
a world commiting suicide
trauma hounds run to corrode integrity whatever matters and it would
they fail to see they make believe reality helpless deaths
ignored to be judged as juvenile head caves in growing pains no time
remains for fantasy tyrrany exists shrink beneath the ingrown thorns forced
to accept pledge allegiance to a flag tested to forget you must
resist they want you dead feels emptyness eternity keeps swallowing
digested benefactors whose silence deafens anything all of whom
decease and miss to pierce a point objects and lessons to realize
it's not the way what's the point of giving up leaving won't change anything

Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse is the second studio album by Skinny Puppy, released on September 5, 1986. It contained the single "Dig It", which inspired several industrial music contemporaries, including Nine Inch Nails. "Dig It" received extensive airplay on MTV and was listed by Billboard as a recommended dance track. The song "Stairs and Flowers" was also released as a single.
The cover photo, taken by Steven R. Gilmore, was from a pornographic film that happened to come on the TV in a hotel in New York City. The cover caused Tipper Gore to place it on one of her lists for the Parents Music Resource Center as an example of why there should be parental advisory stickers on albums.
