I've got a few bad habits yeah I know I'll never have it all
Sprawled out on the floor like a doormat in my squalor's thrall
Can't escape this liminal space, can only seem to crawl
Head is spinning around in that melancholy hormone stall
Wanna be a tragic beauty, princess in a black dress
Instead I'm lying around feeling like an abcess
Where is my life gone, I have made no progress
Nothing left to do, nothing left to do but regress
What do you expect from me? What is left of me?
What am I supposed to be?
Seeking the Silence to process this fog of regret
Looking back and forward, but numb to the present
Resentful of the fleeting joy that makes life worth it
Crippling fear of failure, of being less than perfect
Now I can wear my heart on the surface
But my card gets declined when I make a purchase
I did everything and nothing to deserve this
I thought I'd accomplish more before my back started hurting
What do you expect of me, what is left of me?
What am I supposed to be?
I dream every night that everyone I love will leave me
Inside I'm cold as ice, when I'm kind I'm deceiving
I don't know what secrets to believe
One day at a time picking up the pieces
My heart is a machine mean and masochistic
Stressed and in a mess and my priorities twisted
Gotta find some inner-peace, everything will pass but never me
What do you expect of me? What is left of me?
What am I supposed to be?
Despite how all things fade to ash, today's no different from the last.
We decay as seasons change, still the lingering dream remains.

Time Lost
04:16
|
|||
the void inside me echoes with resounding revelry
a celebration with a cynical yet optimistic symphony
Are God and the devil beyond a great divide
Or are they living inside of you and I?
what's behind your eyes
what goes on inside your mind?
Our actions and deeds are build on something less concrete
The conflict unseen, what we dream defines the foundation of our humanity
Anxiety rewinds the spirit to a memory so distant
Overwhelmed inside oneself, are we so helpless to resist it
Are God and the Devil beyond a great divide
Or are they living inside of you and I?
what's behind your eyes
what goes on inside your mind?
Lust, such an overpowering sin
Virtue buried deep within
Soul forgotten in fermentia
dark inferno pulls you in
ancient dread
dance with the dead
In this life where love betrays, disintegrate into disdain
Restrictive friction of the spirit, lest it be forgetful, drowns you in the pain
Life is dire, don't you feel inspired to find the shimmer in the tired sky
A place to escape keeps you safe, who are you and can you find out why?
Are God and the Devil beyond a great divide
Or are they living inside of you and I?
what's behind your eyes
what goes on inside your mind?
are we enough?
we're made with love
ancient dread
dance with the dead

Violent Element
03:48
|

"The most violent element in our society, is ignorance" - Emma Goldman
Veils of virtue and glory mystify blind the simple minded to conquering
imperialistic history, genocide, slavery, the ghosts of the past still taunting
Vilification, criminalization since the Nixon administration
Law enforcement instead of treatment, incarceration of the nation
Push the poor into hopeless hoods, remove hope, spill dope, keep them there for good
For-profit prisons offer free labor, legal slavery puts bread on a politician's table
When peaceful calls for change are put down,
It's time to burn it all to the ground.
Bricks and bottles of fire bricks and bottles of fire, fix these liars
Bricks and bottles of fire bricks and bottles of fire, fix these liars
We talk a lot about revolution but what are we doing?
Most of the nation fails to see the thinly veiled supremacy
Status quo complacency, American Gethsemane
Division is the enemy of a world of diversity, the control machine creates conformity.
Humility is the stepping stone to unity.
Liberals and moderates are cowards in power collecting profits
Republicans tryna get rid of us, , biblical idiots sending our taxes overseas in rockets
When they give billions to corporations it's seen as a bailout, but a universal basic income, no that's a handout.
If we could meet everyone's basic needs, our incomes would stimulate the economy
Destroy Wall-Street, dismantle the Oligarchy.
But those brainwashed by the greedy won't agree.
Bricks and bottles of fire, bricks and bottles of fire, fix these liars
Bricks and bottles of fire, bricks and bottles of fire!
Con-man corona-contrarian tyrannical toddler Machiavellian manipulator, master exaggerator
inciting the flames hatred, allegations of rape, empassioning racists , gassing the kids in the cages.
Satisfying the bias of the selfish by selling that things couldn't be better,
Selling himself as a picture of power and wealth on television presenting his pompousness, professing nothing regally
Blaming our economic problems, on non-issues by calling human beings illegal
we are not a nation but a business that values money over people
I don't give a fuck what you say, the system is evil
They call it anti-woke but what they means is anti-black
anti-gay, anti-trans, load up and attack
Fascism hides under a different name
Capitalism is the name of the game
Redirect anger, the rich are to blame
No matter who's president it's always the same.
What can we do when justice isn't for all,
Do we build our communities or build up a wall?
Act locally, take care of those you love, and who love you
If we're all together than there's nothing they can do.

Bank Account

I work hard for what I got, I give my all and that's a lot
For 40 hours or more a week, oh Lord I feel so cheap
I got no money in my bank account.
Everybody deserves food to eat, water to drink and a place to sleep
No hoops to jump through or quotas to upkeep
I got no money in my bank account.
You say get a job, well they won't hire me
They're always looking for reasons to fire me
Nothing to stop them from discriminating on me based on my identity
I got no money in my bank account
The cop pulled me over and gave me a ticket
I wanted to show that road pirate where to stick it
My car is falling apart and I can't afford to fix it
I got no money in my bank account.
For your paycheck you give your time
and a little bit of your knees and spine
No matter now much you're suffering you gotta pretend you're fine
I got no money in my bank account
Representatives are writing bills
Pouring our tax-dollars into a class war with no chill
These out of touch fools will get us all killed
I got no money in my bank account
The 1% treat the poor like they don't matter
while they grift our surplus labor value on a silver platter
If we all join the battle we can kick the legs out of the corporate ladder
We got no money in our bank accounts.
You got no choice, but freedom to choose,
You either participate or lose.
But it doesn't have to be this way, be gay and do crime is what I say
I don't need money in my bank account.

I am in love love love
with my Ghostie boo
She's a queen so supreme
and my kitty cat too
She makes me happy she makes me whole
she makes me feel warm in my blackened soul
I'm her favorite girl
and she's mine too
I'm in love love love
with my Ghostie boo
I share her clothes
we share a kiss
She is the answer to my every wish
We dance in the kitchen
sing songs in the car
She makes me feel like I can reach the stars
I'm the woman for you, you're the woman for me
You take a catnap in my dark heart cause you have the key
I'm her favorite girl
and she's mine too
I'm in love love love
with my Ghostie boo
I share her clothes
we share a kiss
She is the answer to my every wish
We share the same sadness
You never get upset with me
I always felt alone
But you get me
You make me feel happy
You make me feel free
What is this weird feeling coming over me
I'm her favorite girl
and she's mine too
I'm in love love love
with my Ghostie boo
I share her clothes
we share a kiss
She is the answer to my every wish

Swing the Axe
03:00
|
|||
I feel the urge, compulsive purge
A surge of terror-lightning in my blood
The thunder cracks, I chop and hack a few lowly souls in my neighborhood.
Like a shadow in the quiet hours, with the grace of a midnight flower
Secretly relieving humanity of its ungrieveable slack.
They're the predators and I am the prowler
Prancing through the realm of owls and bats
The feminine urge to swing the axe.
The Laws of the land are conveniently lenient
To those who see purity as weakness
And grind the evil in their spirits to brass tacks.
For every sorrow-harvest harrowed, another head leaves in a wheelbarrow
The feminine urge to swing the axe.
Sallow and gaunt, a haunting presence hides behind a façade
Of decency, completely hallowed by the grace of God
A hollow heart, a husk beneath the tallow of carnal sin
a head ripe to spill its blood beneath dusk's moonlit grin
The feminine urge to swing the axe, no he ain't coming back
The feminine urge to swing the axe.

I beat myself to death and it feels so right
Hate goes insane in my brain for myself and I
Forgotten and detested in their eyes
Psycho-sadistic masochists in disguise
Killing time, killing myself slowly
Wishing I was a corpse only
Decaying I rot my skin falls off
I'm decomposing like leprosy, let me be!
Letting my skeleton rot in the closet
Stagnant in agony licking my wounds
Violent and toxic descent to despondency
I was a ghostly goon
I want to wound myself so deeply
Watch the blood from my flesh seeping
Down me like a waterfall of glimmering molten death
Feel the sexual magic of carnage consuming
Disdain for all who once knew me
Now victims of the demoness I'm destined to be
Let the corpses burn to ash, and the fire light my path
Letting my skeleton rot in the closet
Stagnant in agony licking my wounds
Violent and toxic descent to despondency
I was a ghostly goon
Darkness is beauty that shines through light
The mystery that's yours to master in life
Balance is blissful in absence of fear
An open mind and kind heart is to see clear
