Come on you bastards
Tell us how you care
About our well-being and safety
Of those instantly spared
It’s boilerplate language
Meant to quell the beast
Feigned compassion
As your profits decreased
Your top priority
Of pretend transparency
Visions of invulnerability
Your return
Is not our return
To normalcy

Dead Tank
02:23
|

Resist whatever seems so inevitable
Resist all who seem incredibly invincible
Resist those who are ever satisfied
And resist all who tell you where resistance resides
And it’s all drained dry
Depleted energy
One more dead tank
Buried deep in the ruin of this world
Resist nothing that seems objectionable
Resist all who seem incredibly convincible
Resist those who are ever terrified
And resist all who tell you where resistance resides
And it’s all drained dry
Depleted energy
One more dead tank
Buried deep in the ruin of this world
Tomorrow’s headlines, tomorrow’s headlines
Resist the repetitive screed
Tomorrow’s headlines, tomorrow’s headlines
Lacking in what we need
Tomorrow’s headlines, tomorrow’s headlines
Quotes that omit the critical part
Tomorrow’s headlines, tomorrow’s headlines
Resist the urge to crack and fall apart

Distraction Diet
02:33

You could be so enraged these days
So many idiocies to engage
A distraction diet
Of lies and entitlement
We’ve lost our way
And it’s once, or so you think
Repeating viral weapon
Turned on by savagery
Turn it off and
Get the fuck away
You could be so enraged these days
So many idiocies to engage
And it’s once, or so you think
Retreating static essence
Turned on barbarity
Takes you so
Ever far away
And a chorus rose behind him
And a chorus rose behind her
And a chorus rose behind them
And a chorus of no consequence answered
Repeating viral weapon
Turn on by savagery
Turn it off and get the fuck away

You ran right towards the point of it
Left a hole in your head
Ask yourself what malicious weapon
Left a hole in your head
They care not for life forged as weapon
They’ll let you rot on that fabricated lie
They care not for life forged as weapon
They left you dead as they ran
Right towards it
Left a hole in your head
Ask yourself what malicious weapon
Left a hole in your head
You ran right towards it wide-eyed
And now you’re a weapon
With a hole in your head
Ask yourself what malicious weapon
Left a hole in your head
They care not for life forged as weapon
They’ll let you rot on that fabricated lie
Ask yourself what malicious weapon
Left that hole in your head

One Year to Ancient
02:52
|
|||
It’s far outside us prescribed
Ignored forever until inside
One year to ancient
The rending drain
One year to ancient
Index the pain
Resist abide
Never satisfy
The will to guide
The ceaseless hands of time
It’s all around us inscribed
In our skin on our faces and eyes
One year to ancient
The vernal bane
One year to ancient
Index the pain
Resist or hide
Never satisfied
With the grave inside
The ceaseless promise of time
One year to ancient
You’ve seen it all
Making the wonder cease
Leave only what you recall
One year to ancient
Refuse the chain
One year to ancient
Embrace the pain
Resist defy
Never satisfy
The will to guide
The ceaseless hands
It’s time
Give youth your light
It’s time
Give youth your fight
It’s time
Give youth your might
It’s time
Give youth their rite
It’s time

No account of pain
Just forward eyes
That saw
The crimes of the age
And all the resulting rage
The future will conquer
And reconstruct this monster
They’re gone
Immortalized
In the criminal’s painting of a mother and her immigrant child
Cast as wise or sage
And committed to the page
A collective altar
To reconstruct this monster
They’re gone
Immortalized
In the criminal’s painting of a mother and her child
And how they’ll howl of legacy
A doctored resume to maintain their supremacy
On the rehabilitation of monsters

Vexed Warnings
01:45
|

A wrong call
Vexed warnings
Left wondering, what’s important
The callous controller that watches the way
No craft
No calling
Slick dialects that lead us astray
All false
All stalling
The wrong call
Vexed warnings
Left muttering, and dormant
The poison is pushed, that’s fine you say
No task
No pausing
Advertised as so quick to obey
All false
Beguiling
Of minds
A proffered phrase
You take no action when taking action these days
You take no action when
Taking action these days
A wrong call
Vexed warnings
Left staring at the abhorrent
The poison is pushed, that’s fine you say
No craft
No pausing
Advertised as so quick to obey
All false
Beguiling

They taunt change
The fear of unknown sound
It’s on display
As it comes back, comes back around
Another time
War-bolstered walls
Architects of the deranged
There’s never common ground
It’s all punching down
With tyrannous aspirations
Asp-tongued, viper-brained
So tightly wound
Victims of coordination
Evolutionary casualty
War-bolstered walls
Architects of diversionary dated dreams
Where they all knew their place
They're so tightly wound
Victims of coordination
Evolutionary casualty
It’s all punching down
With tyrannous aspirations
Asp-tongued, viper-brained
They taunt change
For fear of change

You claim the role of herald and ambassador
Yet you quailed and gave the way
So strange you attach yourself to this rotting brain
And when questioned turn the other way
With time and materials inconvenient to the fray
Yet you’re shocked when we pull away
Tired of it all
Through and through
Has your master come to different wisdom
Has your master come to
So strange you attach yourself to this rotting brain
And when questioned turn the other way
With time and materials inconvenient to the fray
Yet you’re shocked when we pull away
Tired of it all
Through and through
Has your master come to different wisdom
Has your master come to
It’s so strange you’d attach yourself to this rotting brain
Tired of it all
Through and through
Has your master come to different wisdom
Has your master come to
Tired of it all
Tired of you
Tired of it all
Through and through
