Yes that’s me
The one who will
Do anything to please
Until I’m stretched out
Until it hurts
I’m in it for the pain
Scars have left me numb
It takes more than a little
To wake me up
I’m in it for the pain
Want a cut
A bit of burn
Scratch me up
Bite slap and punch me
I’m in it for the pain
Scars have left me numb
It takes more than a little
To wake me up
I’m in it for the pain
Tie me up
Twist the knot
Pinch me hard
Choke bind and whip me
I’m in it for the pain
Accumulating failure
Rolling downhill
Gathering momentum from my bad decisions
The past is so rose gold glorious
I realize later I’ll miss the now
The passing of time just makes it so much worse
Accumulating failure
Rolling downhill
Velocity increasing from my bad decisions
There’s no better tomorrow
Only better yesterdays
The here and now
Being nothing
Until the dawn and i look back and see those pastures spreadin wide
Saturated with that rose gold hue
Accumulating failure
Rolling downhill
Increasingly terminal from my bad decisions
Piloting the TBD bus off of a cliff
Can’t look forward for the bottomless pit
I can’t look back without going blind
I can’t look up for the scorpions
Can’t look down for the dragons in the sky
Just let me close my eyes and sleep
Empty of dreams hopes and desire
There’s no wish left in me
Accumulating failure
Rolling downhill
Gathering momentum from my bad decisions
There’s no place for me here
My rounded curves getting cut by the jagged edges of your pieces
Every moment I’m here, I bleed
This isn’t my time to shine
My Photalgia driving stardom’s spotlight spikes deep into my mind’s eye
Every moment im here, I’m blind
Considering that we’re all consumers
At some level we take in and excrete
Within every moment of existence
That does not mean we’re all users
Users consume without the excretion
Without giving back
Taking is all consuming and drives every decision
Leads every avenue to the same dead end
Well all paths lead to death no matter which turn you take
Yet not all of them have to be made up of taking
Taking choices from other people
Taking their time to make sure that every action
Leads to their perceived benefit
To the point of their using becoming addiction
An addiction that is the only thing
That provides them with the positive feedback
The only neural stimuli that feels like pleasure
Dopamine producing abuse of the people around them
Whether doing so to fill their perceived inner hole with
Drugs
Manipulation
Avoidance
Programming themselves to that these things are the goal their brains seek
Anything to fill that high
To bring themselves to that level that can only be achieved by this imaginary state
A construction designed to override judgment and decision-making
No longer are the cries of their children heard
No longer can they feel their knuckles as their fists find flesh
No longer do they taste the blood after they’ve bitten their tongue in convulsion
No longer do they smell their own shit as they die
Adding to reality only pain, fear and death
This one goes out to all the Alienbaes
Running around in airports
Aligning your chakras to the rhythm of the waterdrums
“Sir…we’re all out of waterdrums”
We’re What???
All I ever wanted was to…
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Let’s start a pyramid scheme
We’ll call it a record label
Whoops
That’s right
There’s no room for jokes around here
SHIT
SHIT
SHIT
SHIIIIIIT
I let the terrorists in!
I let them in!
I let them win!
SHIT

I let the terrorists in!
I let them in!
I let them win!

Everything is so much better
Without you around we can go
Back to beating off to lampshades
With our buddy Mothman
Whoops
That’s right
There’s no room for jokes around here
SHIT

SHIIIIIIIT
I let the terrorists in
I let them in
I let them win

When will the Hulkster
Come and kick the towers down
Where are you brother
Now when we need you most

The Con of Side Rationing
Consider your friends,
Thinking on their terms.
Yet you leave something out,
Cuz you’re thinking for them.
The Con of Side Rationing
divvying up feelings
hiding the truth
even though not telling is the equal to lying
Consider this
Consider that
Consideration holds us all back
Consider yourSELF
Thinking on your own
Yet you keep realizing
That not everything is out
The Con of Side Rationing
a piece for you
a piece for me
a piece for me
a piece for you
Seems unfair to never open your heart
Not what’s what’s within
Keeping yourSELF under lock & key
Consider peace
Consider war
Peace is just so difficult
Considerations must be met
War is so much easier
Attacking is a cry for help
Peace, is my choice in its time
Though I’ve attacked enough
to know when to say when
It’s the Con of the Side Rationing
that keeps it all away
Consider me
Consider you
What’s inside me I share with you
Keeping truth above exaltation
And you…you
Consider
Consider that the time is near
Consider that which you fear
Let go of both
and you will see
That the only time they bind you
is when you won’t set them free
Convenience Whores
The over simplification
of life Personified
When even life choices
are left to the most
comfortable of rides
Take the easy way out
Go with what’s in front of you
No reason to drown in a drought
When you just take what’s given
May as well take the life your sold
Why keep diggin you’ve found coal
don’t strive for gold
Hey! Obesity in a famine
that’s the way to go!
So much easier to eat poison
than save up for t-bone
Let’s just go with what we’re taught
Just ignore that highest thought
Go with the choices that have been
made for you
Stick with your opinions to others,
ignore you
Why take love?
When you can have lust?
Lust is so much easier to sate
Hell, why does love even rate?
Better to live in a hole
than to have to work to elevate
Take the easy way out
live the life you’ve
already been sold on
Why make a choice?
Live out decisions
that reach back to forefathers
Think I’m going to start
rounding the corners
make the triad into a circle
Cuz I can see the convenience
of buying a whore
Least you’d get what you expect
Well… In one aspect
Least she won’t tell your
heart anything you need to reject
and if you tip her well
at least she’ll pretend to show you
respect.
