Band member quotes
[edit]- 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.

Song Lyrics
[edit]- 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
