one must make a living

the gears vital for production can't keep up they're worn out
we can choose to re-envision
something in your head it is sitting deep
capital incentivizes corporate greed
there is no ethical consumption
we consume as a means to feed their fucking profits
the scorn of the earth is set in stone
we churn and churn
it never ends
something in your head makes you feel lonely
every single day more anxiety
there is not ethical consumption
when your worth is measured by the work you put in
the wheel of pain it spins again
to sow the seeds for punishment
no way to live

my life waits
your hand takes
i take every inch i can hold
it pales in comparison
we agree things have gotten worse for you and for me
i can't figure out what i need or hope to see
i'll just drift off, never mind me again
nevermind, never mind me again

mandated violence
02:18
|
|||
|
they have abused power
state mandated violence
no one no one no one
deserves to bear the brunt
help me help you
the whole world is watching
i forged a path straight through
deep in the core is the rot
i've seen a lot
poison in my head

wrap it up and seal your thoughts
the gravity of words is part of the piece the piece is key
it's too hard to feel everything
still it appeals to me, dopamine, entropy
fulfilling my every need constantly
question everything
knowing, knowing doesn't count
knowing, knowing will not stop them
knowing nothing nothing hurts quite like this
knowing nothing nothing hurts quite like that

you are running like last time
can't think straight
you've got a bone to pick
lean into it
you can't fix this
i stay far away, watching and waiting
i heard her calling
for what
i heard her crying
her tears filled the sea
she cannot leave
for all eternity she is there
i can feel her, i breathe her air
i stay far away, waiting and waiting
my heart is pounding
something is coming
i wanted more for you
we're running towards a future
that has no guarantees
guaranteed

conspiracy of solitude
01:57
|
|||
|
right between two parts
the one that stays hidden in you
it wants to show that is controls you full stop
all of this time we needed to take a look
only to find greed holding the whole system up
it hurts to be this close to learn that things in life will stay unknown
"as the pattern gets more intricate and subtle, being swept along is no longer enough"
my memory serves me correct
feeding into my consciousness
i delude myself
no reflection, no reflections

one life cut short they don't see its worth
they swept it under the rug repeatedly
no way, too late and you'll be to blame
the cycle cycles on in this system
the sun it shines on those who lie
with comfort and abundance
what is safety?
no one is safe in this failed state
as they walk among us pathetic placating
it must be nice for them
they won't think twice about what happens to the rest of us
you weren't supposed to notice how far back
this has been taking shape behind the lens they created
so we forget and they'll try to sell it to you as progress
how do you cope with uncertainty?
your needs won't be met, solutions only temporary
bad times they're holding you liable
for the fragile state you're in
hoping you'll put more on your shoulders
empathy has left the room
empathy has left the room
why do they lie?
why do they say everything is fine?

contrition
01:41
|

over it
think you can stand over me?
holding my breath approaching
the precipice of where i end and where i begin
my heart is bleeding out
i'm aching in style
find the right one
it's hard to parse
pain & suffering
the guilt
the guilt
could i have done more?
wait for my absolution

maudlin pirouette
01:59

cry
our eyes are sealed shut
never will we see the truth deliver us
taste the forbidden fruit
they take pain and monetize
and undermine the movement to help us through it
we are a nation plagued by incarceration
mental health resources instead of prisons
we can't start to change our thinking
we're stuck believing obedience is serving
