no love lost 03:59
chain me up and push me In the quiet grew too loud again tragic numbers pouring over you and me forever thugs are all were called today chemical rush for us today pigs are taking names today this shroud will throw your life away this seething snake can clearly see me Superimposed! over the strange violence on TVs chain us up and push us In we don't like to think again tragic numbers pouring over you and me forever floodgates washed away today nature’s taking us today chemical rush for us today this shroud will throw your life away the seething snake lies in waiting Coiling slow! for the same labored breathing protest under searing heat absent rest for tired children heavy coughs in crowded streets seething snake come back again scar into our skin for smut! please don’t reach for what removes you heaving lungs in poison fog bloodshot ask for any water shallow sleep for tired dogs seething snake come back again scar into our skin for smut! take it for the gospel choir

dial tone 03:26
automated senses don't think, don't think, don't think senseless dream state peasant won’t look, won’t look, won’t look fallen from grace of God, self is such a weight. Almost impossible to shake Ripped from warmth of one The void is taking shape Calling out my name Fallen hungry polyp Can’t know, can't know, can't know Tiny selfish reason Hoping, hoping, hoping to see some light without the fragile hollow shell within, without, between I know nothing at all Except a will and wants a simple-minded haunt parasite hiding from the light that hurts too much to see

jealousy holds our lovers to prisons over lust my mind confined our image to contracts over love like guilt over money and anguish over trust possession leads to weakness and weakness into rust cats will play with prey and torture for their fun for comfort and for pleasure and power over one time and time and time and time again I writhe the pit inside serves to remind that I can care and I can share and It can hurt and it can also give us life but jealousy holds power over me and if we truly have trust and belief in the love that we hold trying to share doesn't seem so scary anymore although I can't kill the seed of the strong bitter fruit inside its ugly gnarled tree will thrive off of me no more

pet 05:16
a door, a lock, a key, and then a twist away from seeing the light of day the line in the sand, the beginning and the end of their hopes and their dreams to walk on their own four feet on the soil of the earth Sold! to the loving family Sold! to the lonely soul and i'm weak at the knees, and their chomping at the bit you must dream of being free, you could almost, almost taste it and the sun seems so free and the breeze smells of grass you might never feel its heat, forced to watch seasons pass for the comfort of another, your life's lived behind doors, behind glass Sold! to the aging heart Sold! to the lonely soul

vicarious 03:45
fix the sink, build a bridge, find yourself a slice of life to pass the time get a job, get some help, get your life back you can watch it all And you won't see at all what its like the sun on the cold peak the warmth in your bones run in the street, run outta cash, run off a cliff a slice of life to pass the time learn the ropes, learn your rights and write some answers you can watch it all you won't know at all passing out a dense crowd in the heat a cold sense of defeat Hungry pangs a year on the throne a cold night on your own the screen doesn't speak to it all

possessed 06:08
you find some peace in my arms I hope the walls hold their weight love fades in the fall like some weak dying flame let me carry your weight place your heart in my hands and thrash wildly around pull you out of the ground raise your body up and hold it there praise you and your company praise my saint, compassionate and fair praise your darkest shadows praise your innermost harrowing fears consume my body, soul, and spirit you find some peace in my heart we'll watch the walls crumble down love dies in the fall like some small fading sound let me carry your weight place your heart in my hands and thrash wildly around i'll forget what is mine i'll forget what is mine

c no evil 03:23
the greedy interests consuming all the helpless and using the people's labor and blood and sweat and tears for profits our lives, to them, are nothing but product and mileage a trillion point five for wall street, twelve hundred for silence Our racist nation is holding its people hostage with state sponsored murders and racial violence We all can see the flames We fall absolved of blame(shame) the film happens to us! don't tear your eyes away!
