Pacifist, neutral on a moving train
A pious absolutist, saccharine
Your peace, performative and cannibal
You reap what you fucking sow
Reap what you fucking sow
I take no pride
When this fight or flight
Becomes move or die
But I find
Resolve
Strength of mind
The Inner fortitude
The decisiveness to
To give what is due
Nemesis
Anthropophagus, nameless, faceless
Your privilege begets this violence
The only fucking language that you understand
You reap what you fucking
See, diplomat's wake is
Rust-colored earth
And time doesn't favor
The weak or defenseless
When the end and the means are
The just desserts
The roots have dug deeper,
Your season upon us
Your season upon us
Strength of mind
The decisiveness to
To give what is due

Irresolute
02:59
|
|||
A wasteful intuition
Rooted in superstition
Void the opposition
Militant requisition
A moment of clarity
In the air of innocence
Denounce the liberties
Of a tired generation!
Inexorable
What is the appeal?
Riots and disease
Fill the empty streets
Conspiracies well hidden
In the arms of corporate greed
Can’t justify the means
Of the freedoms you want to seize
Last resort? Irresolution
The response? Retribution
Voices of dissent fall silent
Leaders vilified
Strip and expose the naked skin
Look revolution in the eye
Inexorable

Scourge of Humanity
03:09
|
|||
Smother, choke, and suffocate
You refuse to put yourself in the shoes of another
Twisted empathy
Back to the wall so you take and you take and you take
Imbued with idiocy
Self-absorbed hypocrisy
A man who needs the upper hand
The pursuit of vindication
Indignation
Distrust influencing
Perhaps the only thing
One could hope to hang onto
Are the lies worth saving face
Indignation
A twisted life if it only means
You’re the scourge of humanity
Motherfucker, you reap what you sow
Your back to the wall, you smother and choke
Twisted empathy
Scourge of humanity

Your crux
Your scapegoat
Your shackled old man
Your means
Your fucking reason
Your end
Cold
The cold grip
Of hypocrisy caressing
Depictions
You expect deliverance, acquittance
I watch you
From the barrier of skin
It's all just a symptom
Of the human condition
Condition
Where will you go
If you cannot
Hide behind
Your god?
White knuckle
Tendrils tear at my skin
That same cold grip
The same fear, the same sin
With your dying breath
You'd choose to condemn
Caged animal
Humanity forgotten, you've become
Undone
Where will you go
If you cannot
Hide behind
Your god?
The cold grip
Where is your fucking god?
Where will you go
If you cannot
Hide behind
Your god?

Ill-Fated
03:31
|
|||
Autonomy left the mind
Aggravation leads the blind
A solemn hand to embrace
Degradation of the spine
Void of comprehension
Stemmed within the vein
Paranoia, conspiracy
An ill-fated game
A desperate clutch
But they’ve slipped away
Now just remnants of
Your ill-fated game
Contradiction
Your conviction is swayed
The root of deceit lies
From within the vein
Selfish acts
Preservation
Degradation
Subjugation
Contempt is your pallbearer
Recede to solitude
As the hands that held you
Lead your procession
The hands that held you
Lead your procession
The place you felt safe
Carries you away
From within the vein

Deliberately
Shedding skin
Changing form
But within
I liberate
What is there
Who I am
And always been
Digital skin
I stare between the fine grain, and
I hear nothing but silence
Relinquished eternal, fixated upon the sound of
Nothing but silence, I hear nothing but
I swear between the fine grain
That I hear motherfucking silence
Relinquished eternal, fixated upon the sound of
Nothing but silence, I hear nothing but
Oh, the feeling of being watched
Holds me back
But I can feel my shape shifting
Slipping away
Digital skin
Breaking underneath
A glass reality
A faceless entity
This spell of disbelief
I stare between the fine grain, and
I hear nothing but silence
Relinquished eternal, fixated upon the sound of
Nothing but silence, I hear nothing but
I swear between the fine grain
That I hear motherfucking silence
Relinquished eternal, fixated upon the sound of
Nothing but silence, I hear nothing but
Oh, the feeling of being watched
Holds me back
But I can feel my shape shifting
Slipping away
Digital skin

Awake, for the first time
In the flesh
I'm realized in this corporeal form
An introspection of existence
I become something more
The fine grain speaking to me:
Kill
Your shadow
Your dark side
Your small mind
The past
The future
The divine
I'm committing egocide
Egocide
Breathe in the moment
The only
I'm committing egocide
Egocide
Hold it in
Remembering
The blinding essence
I'm committing egocide

Terrorform
04:02
|

Undignified, defective, immoral
To be cast aside, euthanized
Make their skin delinquent and lawless
The gavel bangs upon inception of life
I have built my tower
I've burnt my bridges
An ocean of plastic
Becomes your inheritance
Only so long
As I get mine:
Everyone
And everything
You are excess
A product
A serial reiteration, vestigial composite
Forced through construct
You are excess
You are a product of circumstance
A serial reiteration, vestigial composite
Forced through construct
Go
Disposable, the day we’re born
Wrung out dry, until oblivion
Gazing down from towers built on terror
Condemned under gilded light
Become god
Nowhere to run
