Abject Impermanence

At least I got to watch it all
Unfold like a funeral
If the deceased had gotten up
Stripped nude and started jacking off
There’s nothing sacred they can touch
That I haven’t touched myself
By the time that they’ve all had enough
I’ll just be getting warmed up
Get a load of this
Not even hiding it
Completely full of shit
Nary an artifice
Made out of artifacts
Totally obvious
Abject impermanence
Why should they hide
When plain sight offers them camouflage?
Glaring is their disguise
One look into their eyes
And you’ll notice
That they’re soulless
If this is that confusing for you
I have some serious news
Considering that you’re on the bully pulpit
There’s nothing left to get but screwed
What has happened to the rule of law?
When did we decide to let go?
I don’t know how to break it down to you
Without creating yet another feedback loop
Effectively things aren’t what they seem
What’s more they exist fractionally
Terror takes over
Disorder, the new normal

Illusionary
Otherworldly
Hypnotic
Shapeshifter
Uncovered
Jekyllantern
I didn’t know you weren’t human
I didn’t know you had no heart
Till I saw you in the shadows
With your facade coming apart
I couldn’t tell you were a demon
You kept your dark intentions hidden
Till I saw you in the shadows
Lit up like a vision
It doesn’t bother you a little
Your existence as a minion
I suppose it does explain
Your complete lack of reflection
Carving its own face
Cutting twisted teeth

Suffocated Cargo
05:14
|

When duty called
I flipped off my phone
I said hell no
But it wouldn’t stop ringing
Finally I picked up and asked
“Why the fuck do you people keep on calling me?”
“Hello, I am the sage
Caught on the wind
Arrived at your doorstep”
“We have met once before
Actually more
You don’t remember me
Do you?”
Be a good soldier
In the socio-military
You’ll be rewarded
With a database entry
It’s inexplicable
But you are where you belong
Kinda like a cannonball
Aimed at a human wall
They’ll try and tell you wrong
Sing along with their song
Pass around a piece pipe
Loaded up with propaganda
Allured by greener grass
Pretty painted visions
Shortsighted wisdom
And shitty witticisms
As the old saying goes
The heart makes the home
Sorta like an arrow
Stuck into a torso
They didn’t have a choice
Other than to join up
Marching in formation
Insecurity in unison
Dying on the grapevine
Dead upon arrival
Suffocated cargo
Come on motherfuckers try to track me
I chew the chips out of my own skin
You can’t stop me
So stop trying
I thought I’d let you laugh a little
Get your mind off of how you’ve been wrong
Cut the corkscrew of miscommunication
As if it were acting like a long phantom limb
It looked so gray around where you were
I couldn’t just walk-on

Overlord
04:40
|
|||
It feels every day like we’ve been abandoned
Been left in a dying fool’s gold mine to rot
Our overlords have long ago moved on
Now we subjugate one another for fun
Like a set of tools left out in the sun
Arthritic from prolonged inaction
I do not abide
I won’t give in
Just to survive
So you can kill us over time
Think about the consequences
All the humans it will affect
Consider you are connected
Act as if you’ve thought about it
Did you think we wouldn’t notice
UFOs in our space?
Make us gladly serve a purpose
Then just fly away
The heat of a star collapsing
Is gathering
The star that the Earth’s orbiting
Can’t look away
Long has it been since we served a purpose
Left behind like abandoned subjects
Freed from the burden of service
Doomed to forever feel worthless
Out in the mist
A legend lives
