Hog Whistle

You’re a
bootlicker
Hate-filled
motherfucker
More hate for the
easy target
Than the ones
feeding you shit
You don’t want to be treaded on
So you can be the one to tread
You sic the rabid dog
on people at their weakest
Complacent murderer
Stochastic terror
Same hateful rhetoric
repackaged for a new movement
Watching the tv man spin elaborate tales
to anger you to sleep day after day
Stripped of the comfort you thought you were promised
You find a scapegoat, the vulnerable target
You miss the point,
and kiss the hands that take
Bootlicker
Death-grip on a status quo
Only for you
Stay far away, afraid of humankind
I will watch your little white suburbia
Burn down
Burn down
Burn down
Motherfucker
I’m not like you
But I can spit hate too
Eat shit
Fuck you

Raw Flesh
02:50
|
|||
Like a punch in the jaw
Like a ringing in the ears
Your voice is a nuisance
You’ll
eat
your
words
You deny the slash at your gut
You will surely bleed out
As blood pools on the floor
You lock your doors
Stuck
Inside
Within the walls of your pride
Pain
with
no
end
Walk it off
Pacing the room
Punching the walls
Eaten alive
You’ll
eat
your
words
Pain
with
no
end
NO END
Teeth sinking into raw flesh
Living a lie
No fucking joy inside
I live for my mask

JITTERS
02:47
|
|||
I CAN’T STOP SHAKING
I CAN’T STOP SHAKING
I CAN’T STOP SHAKING
ENDLESS JITTERS
ACHING WITH RESTLESSNESS
IN WAKING THERE IS ONLY CONSTANT SURGES OF ANXIETY COURSING THROUGH ME
BLOOD PRESSURE RISING INDEFINITELY
BACKED INTO A CORNER
NOT GETTING ANY BETTER
DEATH OF A HEART ATTACK
RISING SENSE OF PANIC
IM BLEEDING ON THE INSIDE
THE SELF IS LYING
UNAPT TO KEEP IN CHECK
I CAN’T STOP SHAKING
I CAN’T STOP SHAKING
I CAN’T STOP SHAKING
I CAN’T STOP SHAKING
I CAN’T STOP
I CAN’T STOP
I CAN’T STOP
I CAN’T STOP
SHAKING

Slaughterhouse
03:40
|
|||
Violent day after violent night
Can’t see the blood pooled at your feet
With your nose at the grindstone
The only change that we need
Is knowing which way to run
We only know to sleep
When blood mist blocks out the sun
Horrors too bleak to speak
So we just move on
With bleating in the background
Crying from the slaughterhouse
Horrors too bleak to speak
So we just move the fuck on
No breaks, no safe space
Nothing can slow down
Someday this could happen to me
And if it does, don’t pray
I know you’ll move on anyway
With bleating in the background
Crying from the slaughterhouse
Nothing can slow down
Horrors too bleak to speak
The fear of open space
The game of finding exit signs
There is no joy anymore
Bleating in the background
Squealing from the slaughterhouse
Bleating in the background
Slaughtered like animals
There is no joy anymore.

Life of Gore
01:31
|
|||
This is not
normal
Collective trauma
that we shall never mention
Felt the need to know
to gaze into the abyss
the awful world and everything it holds
But no one needs this
No one should ever have to see this
But no one needs this
No one should ever have to see this
A life of gore
A life of gore
Pierced into innocent eyes
Gouging out
Breaking down
Desensitized
But no one needs this
No one should ever have to see this
But no one needs this
A life of gore

Lantern Light
05:04
|
|||
Born to die knowing I
Never got what I sought
None of this is built to give us all
The kinds of lives
we thought
We could all just work hard for
No brilliant mind hoards all for themselves
Nothing given back,
Trickle down from a clogged up sieve
What you get
is what you get
is what you get
is what you get
not what you give
Dumped in the middle of nowhere
With just a lantern light they said lights the way
Without the means to light it
Work will never bring you peace
Just break your body
All the people who have gotten the most
Were only lucky
And we’re only shown the reasons to believe this all works
Shown only those who succeed
And hide the ones on the streets
When I was thirsty I was told there’s a way
To cleaner waters
I arrived and all I found were sick and swampy green waters
I was dumped in the middle of nowhere
Apparent something is wrong…
Alone in darkness with a lantern light
All I’ve got’s a fucking lantern light and humid air
All I’ve got’s a fucking lantern light and humid air
All I’ve got’s a fucking lantern light and humid air
All I’ve got’s a fucking lantern light and humid air
In life you just
Get what you get what you get what you get what you get what you get what you get
not what you deserve
And every single ounce of blood shed was all for nothing.

Mercy of the Vultures
10:40
|
|||
The levee breaks
From your ears starts seeping your brain
The levee breaks
From your nose starts seeping your brain
The levee breaks
The leeches bite down on your face
seeping you dry
left with nothing in your life
The vulture watches
Patient
Waiting for a carcass
to finally make use
of a body once
coughing hatred
like a virus
The sun above
Behind the vulture’s head
like a halo
Disillusioned
Screaming in the wrong direction
Delusional
Screaming in the wrong direction
You have nothing going on up there
I’m surprised the maggots haven’t
already dug in
Your logic leads you nowhere
No pulse. No brainwaves.
If you laid still the vultures
Would put you out of your pain
The sun above
Behind the vulture’s head
like a halo
The vulture eats away the disease
And the world is rid of the mess you left behind
Circling
With wings spread like angels
Taking you to somewhere
Better than you deserve
Circling
A boon to the world
Consuming the stain
Just lay still the vultures
Will put you out of your pain
Angels above!
We are saved, saved, saved
Saved of the stain on humanity
Just lay still the vultures
Will put you out of your pain.
