Quotes from songs

• "We reproduce - our flesh, our blood, our bone / But when we die, we enter death alone..." - Tomorrow (w:The Malfated - 2006)
• "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 / 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 (Rat Candy - 2006)
• "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 (w:The Malfated - 2006)
• "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 (Rat Candy - 2006)

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" - Karl Steiger, malfated.com
• "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." - Karl Steiger, malfated.com
