You’re like a rabid raging dog
Scratching and biting and tugging
Stubbornly resisting every single call
Drawing blood, you learned to love the taste
Who trained you to attack with seething rage?
Who trained you only to hate
You had capacity to love
But were taken advantage of
Doomed now only to seek out blood
Salt in the wounds of the world
Salt in the wounds of the world
We are the failed stewards

Explain him
Explain him the rules of cattle
Explain him a vegetable
And he may never eat again
Explain him the rules of capitalism
Explain him a factory
And he may lead the revolution
Coping with carpet and share it
But not with friends, not with friends
The rules are the rules are the rules
The rules are the rules are the rules man
Explain him
Explain him the rules of education
Explain him gun “safety”
And he may shoot up his school
Coping with carpet and share it,
But not with friends, not with friends
The rules are the rules are the rules
The rules are the rules are the rules man
The rules are the rules

Cool Man Petting Zoo

It’s a cool man petting zoo
In a world of monsters
What else can you do?
Play nice, share your toys
Do the man’s bidding
Be more like the boys
It’s a cool man’s petting zoo
Put a quarter in the feeder
What else can you do?
What else can you do?
Listen with your ears
Smile with your mouth
Gently kiss the snout
Wait
Wait
Just wait
Weight
Weight
It’s just weight

As Deficient

Separate us as deficient
After upping the coefficient
Brains set to a different clock
Making time stretch or unlock
Or unlock
The outside world is variable, variable, variable
So cruelly variable,
Variable, variable
The outside world is variable, variable, variable
Plan on making a different face
Shifting code into a different phase
With keys handed out under the table
They determine who is able
Who is able
The outside world is variable, variable, variable
So cruelly variable
Variable, variable
The outside world is variable, variable, variable
You control your own punishment
Dole it out, dole it out
Dole it out freely, freely, freely
Separate us as deficient
After upping the coefficient
Brains set to a different clock
Making time stretch or unlock
You control your own punishment
Dole it out, dole it out, dole it out
Dole it out freely, freely, freely

My Aposematism
Perfect defense mechanism
My Aposematism
Something I’d rather not live with
The way I look and talk and move
The world knows that what I exude
Is pain and danger, suffering
Repellant aura over me
It’s
My Aposematism
Perfect defense mechanism
My Aposematism
Something I’d rather not live with
I’ve got my spines and you’ve got yours
So keep your distance to endure
The world is cold, but you’ve got warmth
Enough that you don’t need the scorn
Of
My Aposematism
Perfect defense mechanism
My Aposematism
Something I’d rather not live with

Just Weight
04:29
|

|
It’s just weight
What’s your complaint?
Home is where the flag
Is always half staff
Bring more capital
Smokes the signal
It’s just passive
Like microplastics
Change the gravity coefficient
Then they rub your nose in it

Air mailing
Pain and suffering
But so friendly
Here locally
He just wants to talk
While looking in the mirror
Seeking out his own feedback
Lost in the reflecting pool
Finding happiness
Living out bot scripts
While floundering
No wondering
He just wants to talk
While looking in the a mirror
Seeking out his own feedback
Lost in the reflecting pool
Protect the children
Protect the children
From thinking
Too hard
Teach them to miss
The difference

Around the Neck
03:43

Two albatrosses around my neck
One from heredity
Another
Pulled from the deck
Black under the eyes
Black around the nails
Passively passing through
Delivered by slow ooze
Two albatrosses drowning in a puddle
One from heredity
Another
Born from trouble
Born from trouble
Fly back, fly back
Fly back, fly back
To your origin
Fly back, fly back
To your origin
Two albatrosses around my neck
Two albatrosses choking back
A fallen tree sprouting fresh twigs
Split in half, one small, one big
Cautionary in case
Your children were born with tails

Waves of Dark Energy

Waves of
Waves of
Waves of
Waves of
The time for interference has passed
What’s left is lifting
It’s not something that someone can grasp
Now I must give in
Waves of
Waves of
Circulating among the wires
I stay suspended
The current takes direction even higher
Skyscrapers tended
How can I get out this loop?
Where does a circle end?
Cease letting any input through
Despair dependent
Once I’m feeling solid again
I’ll Recognize the stage
Darkness coming through in the waves
Darkness always moves in waves

Kind of a Guy
03:13

He’s the kind of guy who brings
a Happy Meal to the predator house
The kind of guy who drives
an Astro van dressed up like Mickey Mouse
He’s the kind of guy who takes
a state funded vacation
The kind of guy who comes back inflated
by all his new medication
Watch out, watch out, watch out
Sitting on a Greyhound bus is some damaged guy
with fur on his cheeks
There’s three grocery bags
full of old newspapers on the other seat
He’s a kind-of kind of guy
He’s the kind of guy handing out
homemade Halloween candy
Fingers caked in hot glue,
he’ll be caught so easily red-handed
Schizophrenia or dehydration
He’s going to learn a hard lesson
Schizophrenia or dehydration
He’s going to learn a hard lesson
He’s the adult male
sitting behind the lemonade stand
When your mom sees him
she yells to go and get your dad
Schizophrenia or dehydration
He’s going to learn a hard lesson
Schizophrenia or dehydration
He’s going to learn a hard lesson
Schizophrenia or dehydration
He’s going to learn a hard lesson
He’s going to learn a hard lesson

What’s the measure of a man?
Scar tissue to the scales
You can hang a negative picture
With just one nail
I keep losing to the garbage disposal
Trying to get back to getting normal
Softly serving an anxiety boner
I keep breaking off fingers
In the light socket
Diminishing Returns
Scars are left
Left to earn
I’m left gutting a house full of junk
Trying to catch loose hair by the clump
Reconsidering denial of god
Sending out stray escape pods
Full of rotten progeny
Guess we’ll just wait and see
Diminishing Returns
Scars are left
Left to earn
What’s the measure of a man?
Scar tissue to the scales
You can hang a desolate fixture
With just one nail
