I'm sure you think that underneath is progress But we move around and don't go nowhere Politics & Karma & Klonopin I used to cling to hope, now I don't Did you really think that this would last Lay it flat now let it rot & watch it burn Cover up with muscle, void the noises of a mind Death is near me, what a feeling We had a lovely time I think that's done for now The honeymoon is over Keep it real next to that steel cos these are hard times No, I don't got no pistol but my bitch do Back flipping in that mosh pit, Yoshimitsu Moving all around, but going nowhere Check clocks for Ragnarok, won't be long now Grinning with a mouthpiece in, I'm ready bro Cops walking in that lockstep I'm Cujo in a human suit Bitch, I got that dawg in me We had a lovely time I think that's done for now The honeymoon is over Bite Down Moving around and going nowhere Heads is down, keep fighting for it Lay it flat & let it rot Watch it burn and never learn Death is near me, what a feeling Bitch, I got that dawg in me Bitch, I got that dawg in me I've seen this all before Buildings hollow, in the dark Beneath a Burning Moon We had a lovely time I think that's over now Bite down The honeymoon is over and none too soon

Not enough touch, Halt & Catch Lust Less liminal space More body, more face More sacral movment Fistfuls of ritual I Want to see you liquid On a concrete floor I Want to see you looking back Your hands on the wall I Want to feel your pain When your are muscles taut I Want you to make me nervous I Wanna mind your business I Want you to make me nervous Contact Hamstrings, quads, I Wanna feel your core Tentacles of spit, Thighs slide downwards Eyes are flying objects Spinning silver dollars Don't want to go home I Want you to make me stutter Treat me like I'm speechless Leave me doubled over As naked as I'm vacant A door left open Make me forget my name Why I even came here I Want you to make me desperate Dumb, wet and reckless Contact

NO TIME 03:54
There is nothing up my sleeves Nitrous oxide in my lungs Chotas crawling down my street Seems we're running out of luck Tilted in turning number 4 Microplastics plaque my brain Made a promise but we did not swear it God will not save us again Cool, I can fuck up on my own Loadies blowing up my phone Sauced & lost like Peter Pan I'm that joke that never lands Out the sky, I get that ping Doing crime like Capt. Hook If you don't pay what you owe Get Revenge like Peter Hook Drip so liquid bitch you know it's flame retardant Pills, cocaine and whippits get this party started Down to the ash, we smoked the last I'm on acid, shake that ass Fuck me stupid Grind me into dust Liquor pouring not enough I feel like I'm Danny Glover I'm too old for all this shit Hedonistic emptiness Pleasure seeking so cliche Mind is hollow, temples gray Everything is fucked But we are celebrating Cut me a line for everytime I've lost my mind Our obituary hidden in the news tickers Livestream Soul Defragmentation No sooner than I thought to sleep No sonner than I closed my eyes No sooner than I started to dream No sooner than I realized There was no time NO TIME NO TIME NO TIME TIME NO TIME ON TIME NO TIME THERE IS NO TIME NO TIME NO TIME NO MORE TIME Cool, I can fuck up on my own Loadies blowing up my phone Sauced & lost like Peter Pan I'm that joke that never lands Liquor pouring not enough Nitrous oxide in my lungs Down to the ash, we smoked the last The world has ground me into dust

SHROUD 03:15
I am a Shroud Hanging around Counter Culture Couture Keeping it hidden, don't look I'm over the sky & still on the ground Very obscene, on EBT Ballin out on a summer night Treating my nose in low light Bumps are better than lines I put it on God He gives me the nod I'm noble, my quotes are notable I'm water, I'm drippin, I'm potable You drinkin' it in, like I'm Jericho Flesh can't keep it's stolen form Soul sheds skin: it's showing off I know I am poison, but I am golden I'm a Shroud Dumb & Profound I am poison, but I am golden I'm a Shroud Hanging around I am poison, but I am golden Some call it a disease Some call it the trap For me it's release, baby Cos I'm gonna get out A little bad luck Blessings & Love Power comes with the pain So we keepin it tough I can feel you cumming You cum alot A Roman Orgy Better than a Lie Hope has eloped Another world's done Every moment's stolen Solemn are the omens I don't know why I do not care Sweetness with the somber Something around corner I'mma stay strong, I do not care Of course I'm scared I feel fear deeply Carry it gently Hope death don't see me My middle fingers Upwards reaching

On fire friday night Smoke is in my lungs Don't eat if I don't hunt That means you better run, baby Poison in my cup We never have enough Dollars or the drugs The youth I know are lost None of us grew up I'm color of the curb Whose body is this? Cold colored sun, field faded black Bullet in a chamber, trigger, muzzle flash, Petty, steady wounded, on my stupid doom shit, Bags of powder, same complexion that the moon be Spiral flows the river, liver steady heavy Terra firma firmly tethered to inertia Called the ether but they never pick the phone up Maybe a text? Purpose of presence unknown Lilies on an alter Innocence was offered Violets and the Lilac Circaea (sir-seeya) was the get back I'm vacuous and I'm stupid, vapid, so trite Nothing in my skull But a monochrome strobe light I've only grown to know me Slowly, slowly, slowly, And I've only learned my body And the body's very lonely How long can I survive Existing out of spite The plug is in the valley Please give me a ride All is dark, I'm very lit The city is a fairy tale Here is clearly, far from here There is barely, barely there

No food up on my plate shit This is not inflation Pieces in their places Pawns should stay complacent Learn to earn a wage It's only whips and chains You should be more gracious We're building your replacement We suffer in samara Take your ass back to nirvana Paroxysmal (Pair-ox-siz-mol) economics Sociometric psychodrama Pain is Power Tortured in the naked public square Laughing in their shadow, underfoot Beneath the frenzied feeding of the pigs Staying loyal to the soil and the roots From seed to burning blossom, It's the new light work Persecution works for What I do not destroy: The removal of the board Pain is Power Strength can build itself A form that's born from Torment, stress & harm A storm that's born abundant from our pain

Spilled blood treaties lost in a fog IBRD & IDA New investment, coup or war We know you love it Abscond all resources raw Blackrock pointed made ya look Nations spayed By bourgeois arbitration That's invasion Gendarme, Ayn Rand Colonial Deimos, Phobos, Ahriman In suits, serve Lamashtu World Bank, The Devil's Wet Work (The sermon's getting on my nerves) White Man brings that bible through He just caught a lick (God's words are for the servant class) When that new sanction drops You are starving or in debt Platinum, chromium, salt Phosphate rock & zinc Cocoa For Christian Fellowship that's all they leave when they take Oh well Doo doo dododo Bop bah bababa It's not designed to work It's not designed to work for you It's not designed to work And the purpose leaves you in the dirt With diseases praying to the whitest jesus your FICO score goes up But you're praying to a crook White Man brings that bible through He just caught a lick When that new sanction drops You starving or in debt Give up all that cobalt And we'll give you Kurt Cobain Give up all that copper And we'll give you Golden Arches x2 We starving, they stunting In prayer we are prey
