Attention to Reaction
03:21

The man's a mule, a vestibule
He picks his two guns up from school
He won't mistake an open shouting mouth for an exit wound
He knows brooding angry in the dark leads to solitude
But what's the use, he gave it all and lost it in the court room
Lived with loyalty and gave it to the next groom
Cut apart the sickly heart and sold it to the saloon
He'll slip soon, manifest his failures into action
He'll cut loose, cut into his prescripted rations
Turn blue and hope that they don't miss him passing
This was a tragedy, attention to reaction
(X4)
And it was red like the roses bloom
And it was read like a manuscript
And it was red like blood from the womb
And it was red like a suicide note
Sleep tight, inhale smoke
Good night, the covenant's broke
And I swear I'm never gonna let you win
I'll break right through your stone skin
And it was red like the roses bloom
And it was read like a manuscript
And it was red like blood from the womb
And it was red like a suicide note

Suprise another Christian killing
Harsh cries panic at the station
Party lines stay away from the bodies
So woke---But we never saw it coming
The whole city had to watch em bleeding
He's radical no matter which way he's leaning
Man vs monster, steel meets flesh
Are we done with the argument yet?
We didn't deserve em
But we got em and we lost
How could he hurt them
Stayed pale from eating off the bottom
I Just Want My Brothers and sisters to be safe
I Just Want To See Nazis choking on their flag
Free speech or die
You've got no safe place
Bloody railroad ties
You've got no safe space
You-call-it-pa-tri-ot-ism
I-call-it-terr-or ism
No good, evil, objective morality
But I make a stand against bigotry
No race, borders, sovereign nation
So I saw blood at the Hollywood Station
I saw blood at the Hollywood Station
Free speech or die
You've got no safe place
Bloody railroad ties
You've got no safe space
No good, evil, objective morality
But I make a stand against bigotry
No race, borders, sovereign nation
So I saw blood at the Hollywood Station
Fletcher Best Namkai Meche
No good, evil, objective morality
But I make a stand against bigotry
No race, borders, sovereign nation
So I saw blood at the Hollywood Station
I saw blood at the Hollywood Station

Slipping

We were insatiated before the world created
Seconds or months we're in the brig for ages
We wore evil eyes, soared over enemy lines
Destroyed in the pit, but you pitied my cries
Ohhh, so sick in a closet
Ahh, cut bricks in the office
Life crisis, bleeding through a hole in the tar
And suffice it, we were distorting in the local bar
We wore evil eyes! Soared over enemy lines
Destroyed in the pit! But you pitied my cries!
You pitied my cries!
Pitied my cries!
You pitied... my CRIES

Black rats - Sneaking through the floor slats
Gift wrap - Adorning your blood splats
Silencer - Ignoring gun claps
A reminder that we're fragile and entrapped so
How
Do the deities see us?
Does the Earth really need us?
Or are we pawns for elitists?
Slow down
We're derivative creatures
Giving goodbye speeches
Sucking bruises from.. Your third eye!
Fast laps - Timed by the collapse
Red grass - Now come the regrets
Finisher - Take him out with spike tracks
Pillager - We're victims to the void turning black so
How
Do the deities see us?
Does the Earth really need us?
Or are we pawns for elitists?
Slow down
We're derivative creatures
Giving goodbye speeches
Sucking bruises from.. Your third eye!

TOO BAD
So said she
She says so sad
Sweat soaked sex sheets
Swindled serotonin
Stranded synapses
Sickening storytelling
Sheep staring past us
It's all relative
They say while pumping sedatives
Into every single hungry orifice
Brain bruised set loose so strange to be organs
TOO BAD
Lost lately
Last loss left late
Looped lines loosening
Left leaning lurkers
Lures laid lateral
Limping leering lepers
Learning leaves an empty skull
It's all relative
They say while pumping sedatives
Into every single hungry orifice
Brain bruised set loose so strange to be organs
Skyscraper on a farm plot
Tractors parked in a city lot
Never trusted with a gun
But promised access to the sun
It's all relative
They say while pumping sedatives
Into every single hungry orifice
Brain bruised set loose so strange to be organs
Do you ever feel like
A truck without trailer
A ship set with no sailor
Soap op with no plot, cut cloth without tailor
How about a good day, a year without a failure?
It's all relative
They say while pumping sedatives
Into every single hungry orifice
Brain bruised set loose so strange to be organs
Can you just help me out without tracking my behavior
Can't keep praying, never seen the savior
We should dine on our fruit, not starve while we cater
I'm opting out, I'd like to live instead of labor
It's all relative
They say while pumping sedatives
Into every single hungry orifice
Brain bruised set loose so strange to be organs

Premonition

So some pompous prick posted pilfered pics
Of your perky tits on the internet
And you should have been a star
But everyone just stared at your scars
And some random red who rarely paid rent
Ranted and raved that you were heaven sent
Oh you should have seen the ratings
They think my optimism is degrading
There was a wild west it was the homeland
Now the working man has the softest hands
They still don't want to let the secret out
We replaced our good intentions with doubt
So some crushing creep copped a cautious peek
Of your cushioned chest under hospital sheets
You should have told you let him get away
Now we have to beg the therapist to stay
And we weekly walk with wet feet and palms
Under worrisome weather and a vacant sun
But we never let it get to our heads
We just wanted to prosper got poisoned instead

One for the coroner, one for the Queen
One for the gun shop, all in for the team
Ready to go steady but we split at the seams
And we're pretty for the headlines score for the screams AHH
If we had a second I reckon we'd shine
But the workers in the fields are always looking for mines
Rock-tested shocks and it's so sublime
So we're breaking through the atmosphere akin to crime
Fruit for the mice and rats for the peasants
Eating dirt in a west coast heaven
Sucking up slime and under stress
But we threw up our lunch and we're ready for dessert YEAH
If we had a second I reckon we'd shine
Workers in the fields, looking for mines
Rock-tested shocks; so sublime
we're breaking through the atmosphere akin to crime
Akin to crime
Akin to crime, red lines
Akin to crime

Heroin

Sitting in a parking lot with broken lines and painted rocks
Drop on the concrete, border silhouette with chalk
Pulling life through needles and crushing bugs with ankle socks
Sitting in a, slipping in a, sinking in a vacant lot
And if I get it right this time I'm headed straight to Hell
And if I sell my soul for an eight ball all will be well
Pushing through the crowd and break into a steady walk
Pull my teeth with hammers, sew my gums and we can talk
Shaking off the last hit and go in for another shock
Waiting in a, wishing in a, wasting in a vacant lot
And if I get it wrong this time they'll put me in a cell
If they try to make me roll on the dealer, I'll never tell
Sitting in a, slipping in a, sinking in a
Sitting in a, slipping in a, sinking in a
Sitting in a, slipping in a, sinking in a
Sitting in a, slipping in a, sinking INTO
And if I get it right this time I'm headed straight to Hell
And if I sell my soul for an eight ball all will be well
And if I get it wrong this time they'll put me in a cell
If they try to make me roll on the dealer, I'll never tell

Hook Up In Hell

Begging you ghosts, don't make me nostalgic
Got so close my joy was nothing but magic
More of you than before and that's somehow tragic
But if I could show scars close to the heart you'd faint
Not from the heat inside or from your current pallid state
It would be from indigestion
I forgot to mention:
Eye for an Eye has been enacted
Keep your legs where I can see them
From the back of my mind to the front of your blouses
Now we've been found in how many houses?
How many houses bear our shame
Are they crumbling down, did they lose your name?
Did they watch us attentively while we came?
OH you were from another past and I from the future
Bound together with resin string and loose dirt
I became the fly on your wall, don't forget me
operate without any anesthetics
OR PERMISSION
go to bed with someone who's not ready
THEN DISMISS THEM
Eye for an Eye has been enacted
Keep your legs where I can see them
From the back of my mind to the front of your blouses
Now we've been found in how many houses?
I'm daring you darling, make waves on the map
And once you get close promise I'll have your back again
I'll blind those eyes if it makes you less critical
YOU SAY "I'm pretty forgettable; bad at anything physical"
But from the stains on your mattress I could smell the other day
I deduce that you just led me on and I forgot to say
Eye for an Eye has been enacted
Keep your legs where I can see them
From the back of my mind to the front of your blouses
Now we've been found in how many houses?
How many houses are built our friction?
Are you trying for a record am I feeding your addiction?
So glad you cut apart your body per my description
NO I came from empathy you taught me apathy
My hands nervous shake and always talk back to me
I'm the bowl of blood waiting patient in the sink
We should go to bed together never
FALL ASLEEP
Love's forever but hunger is only
SKIN DEEP
Eye for an Eye has been enacted
Keep your legs where I can see them
From the back of my mind to the front of your blouses
Now we've been found in how many houses?
We've been found in how many houses?
HOW many HOUses
HOW many HOUses
HOW many HOUses
HOW many HOUses
HOW many HOUses
HOW many HOUses
HOW many HOOUUUUUUSEEEES

Anarchy/Nihilism 2020
05:07
|

This was a revolution brought into a red state
Settled on a clear solution, huddled in a congregation
This was a long time coming, since we lost our trust in banks
Paper means nothing now, we will receive your repentance
Bare all your assets or we'll burn you with the estate
And they keep keep keep keep keep it in the family
A broken clotted overbloated entity
They sleep sleep sleep sleep underneath the cotton tree
Castrate the one percent and kindle flames of anarchy
Barely legal prostitution, selling kids on candy meth
Where is our constitution? Shredded drenched in oil refuse
Where was the God you cry for? Tied up in Bethlehem
Meanwhile we were always present, tossing sludge with scarred hands
You say that children are the future, until they're of the opposition
And they keep keep keep keep keep it in the family
A broken clotted overbloated entity
They sleep sleep sleep sleep underneath the cotton tree
Castrate the one percent and kindle flames of anarchy
Edible and eating things, you never had a backup plan
Once the courts are smoke and rubble, working class bursts your bubble
You can hold a town hall meeting, we'll strip away your power then
Thought we'd just do what you tell us, but we're taking out your pay
Sell off your yachts and cabins, start building up callouses
And they keep keep keep keep keep it in the family
A broken clotted overbloated entity
They sleep sleep sleep sleep underneath the cotton tree
Castrate the one percent and kindle flames of anarchy
Work for barter, clipped for slaughter, slice fingers for reprimand
Tried to claim all the resources, attempt to rule the wild lands
But now we've got you cornered with a match in the tar sands
Pack up all your great ideas, no longer be needing them
You might want to close your eyes, pray and think about your great again
And they keep keep keep keep keep it in the family
A broken clotted overbloated entity
They sleep sleep sleep sleep underneath the cotton tree
Castrate the one percent and kindle flames of anarchy
Keep it in the family!
They always! Keep it in the family!
And they keep keep keep keep keep it in the family
A broken clotted overbloated entity
They sleep sleep sleep sleep underneath the cotton tree
Castrate the one percent and kindle flames of anarchy
The money- Keep it in the family
The power - Keep it in the family
And all of the moneyy - Keep it in the family
And all of the power they keep it in the family

Defaced memorials of old guards
Rare race seated on the throne with a crown
Pressure erupted
Fixed up the paint but the frame still busted
Multitudes of bruises covering your arms
(And you ruined everything, everything)
While the farm stays intact and our cities buried
Why did we settle on the cheap solution
(And you've broken all these things, broken dreams)
Warned. WASTED. WAR APPROACHES ON THE SLICK SOAKED BEACHES
(These promises you made to me, you've thrown away just like debris
And you ruined everything, everything in me)
Myyy sights are on the platform. The promenade
One eye slides to our sources. While the tendons burn, melt, slip down our arm
Oh wow. Were we once the system?
Oh God. Are you opposition or assistance we've waited on
to end our suffering
Multitudes of bruises covering your arms
(And you ruined everything, everything)
While the farm stays intact and our cities buried
Why did we settle on the cheap solution
(And you've broken all these things, broken dreams)
Warned. WASTED. WAR APPROACHES ON THE SLICK SOAKED BEACHES
(These promises you made to me, you've thrown away just like debris
And you ruined everything, everything in me)
Eyes set on burial of false gods
We broke bread on salted ground
Famine feeds the fortunate
Fortune favors apathy, the secret's out
Multitudes of bruises covering your arms
(And you ruined everything, everything)
While the farm stays intact and our cities buried
Why did we settle on the cheap solution
(And you've broken all these things, broken dreams)
Warned. WASTED. WAR APPROACHES ON THE SLICK SOAKED BEACHES
(These promises you made to me, you've thrown away just like debris
And you ruined everything, everything in me)
Covered in gold to keep you from harm
(And you ruined everything, everything)
We cleared your path and paved it in carpet
Why did you run from your own protection?
(and you've broken all these things, broken dreams)
Pained. WANTED. BLOOD POOLS AT THE MOUTH. OF BOUNDARY WATERS
(These promises you made to me, you've thrown away just like debris
And you ruined everything, everything in me)
(Everything, everything in me)

Breaking down
In a cluster
The shine you had we can't muster
And we aim
To keep it that way
If you wanna stay safe better do what we say!
And I better not catch you hanging from the rafters!
Cuz in hell, you'll get it a hundred times worse
Cutting losses, avoiding disasters
You can roam all you want remember I was first
Oh, FIRST!
Breaking through
The crowds and customs
We make our stance but we're not committed
Take our losses, and we split it
Sneaking in the corridor, we're looking for a target!
And I better not see, you on the front page
Cuz in the obituary, I saw your curse
Chucking shells, Shooting hipsters
We got a cute mascot but it's lost to the cell
The CELL!
And I better not catch you hanging from the rafters!
Cuz in hell, you'll get it a hundred times worse
Cutting losses, avoiding disasters
You can roam all you want remember I was first
And I better not see, you on the front page
Cuz in the obituary, I saw your curse
Chucking shells, Shooting hipsters
We got a cute mascot but it's lost to the cell
The CELL!
And I better not catch you hanging from the rafters!
Cuz in hell, you'll get it a hundred times worse
Cutting losses, avoiding disasters
You can roam all you want remember I was first
And I better not see, you on the front page
Cuz in the obituary, I saw your curse
Chucking shells, Shooting hipsters
We got a cute mascot but it's lost to the cell
The CELL!
