Cease & Desist (2/28/2016) / A Forced Recollection of What Hath Been Wrought Upon This Body 04:45
lyrics
• Cease & Desist: This CEASE AND DESIST ORDER is to inform you that your persistent actions including but not limited to: making slanderous statements; calling for violence against me; publically listing my name and school; and other public comments made by you in an attempt to damage my name and/or character have become intolerable. You are ORDERED TO STOP such activities immediately as they are being done in violation of the law. I have the right to remain free from these activities as constitute harassment, and I will pursue my legal remedies available to me against you if these activities continue. These remedies may include but are not limited to: contacting law enforcement to obtain criminal sanctions against you, and suing you civilly for damage I have incurred as a result of your activities. Again, you must IMMEDIATELY STOP all above mentioned activities and provide confirmation that you will stop each activity. You risk incurring some very severe legal consequences if you fail to comply with this demand. This letter acts as your final warning to discontinue this unwanted conduct before I pursue legal actions against you. At this time, I am not contacting the authorities or filing civil suit against you, as I hope we can resolve this matter without authoritative involvement. I am not under any circumstances, however, waiving any legal rights I have presently, or future legal remedies against you by sending this letter. This order acts as ONE FINAL CHANCE for you to cease your illegal activities befor I exercise my rights. Please note your call for someone to "kick his ass for me" and revealing my name and school/location is a violation of Pennsylvania law 18 Pa. C.S. § 2709.1, as well as Federal Laws USC Subsection 2261A and 18 USC Subsection 876(c). To ensure compliance with this letter, I require acknowledgement confirming receipt of this letter. Sincerely, Zack LAST NAME WITHHELD • A Forced Recollection of What Hath Been Wrought Upon This Body (Severed Head): The severed head of the pervert; Hung on display for all to see A forced recollection of what hath been wrought upon this body This prison of flesh My skin is scarred, burned by your touch I am naked and posed for the mausoleum Nailed to a cross, a crucifixion A paragon of the nameless women of victimhood personified I stand motionless before them Because I want everyone to know What you have done The marks you've made on my skin I want them to know How I try to scald and burn The feeling of you The feeling of your hands on me A feeling that I cannot shake How I cry myself to sleep every night Wishing I'd pushed you off Wishing I had said no Wishing that I didnt let you get me alone in bed The bed I fall asleep in every night Turning it from a safe haven into a tomb Where the husk of my former self lays I want you destroyed Discarded, like you did to me after you had your way I want everyone to see...I want everyone to fucking see how vile you are I want every inch of you desecrated Your reputation ruined Your fucking name in big bold black font across every social feed You ruined my fucking life; this is how I will end yours

lyrics
"…and the lamb will slaughter the lion Teeth gnashes against flesh Entrails strewn across the ground stained deep with a wet maroon 3 of swords shoved deep into it's back Protruding like bone cracked through the skin Twisted and mangled The deafening ringing drones on Unrelentless Drowning out the screams And all I see is red Nothing but red, red, red Everything is fucking red I've lost control Detached myself from my skin Until my body is just a shell Hollowed out With only intent to kill A mind locked in autopilot Heading towards a wall with no intent to slow down Please let me know peace I have known fear for too goddamn long And as the final blade pierces the lion's throat It's last breath shudders past it's lips Everything falls deathly silent And it lays completely still Don't fucking get up"

about

This is the final piece in what is now known as the "April Fools" trilogy that started with Severed Head of the Pervert. An album that was never planned to come to fruition, just as Severed Head was planned to be one of a set of final albums. I never expected the reception of that album, one about something so deep and personal.

The Lamb Will Slaughter the Lion began drafting in June of 2020 (with some lyrics being written over the past year), after learning my rapist and abuser, the main subject of most of the lyrics to Severed Head, was arrested on 12 counts involving production, receipt, and possession of child pornography. Recording officially began in November of 2021.
The original working title for both this album and Severed Head was "April Fools" which was sort of a tongue-in-cheek/inside joke, as April 1st was the day we had started dating, and over the years it's become a reminder that I survived the harm he put me in, and I can overcome even the hardest challenges.
He was found guilty on all 12 counts in October 2021, and sentenced on April Fools Day, ironically, to 18 years. I hope he suffers and rots. Fuck you Zack Sanders...fuck you.

This is the final album for the time being that I will be releasing under the Glass Spitter moniker. This project started as a rebirth of my old project and a way for me to use my art as a cathartic release of my trauma, and with the release of this + my rapist's conviction, it feels like a fitting end cap for the time being. Thank you all for the help and love and support you all have given me since 2019. Glass Spitter is done.
