Bread and Circuses

And so the show begins, here we are again
We smile and take our seats while Rome, in flames, descends
One-eyed vagabond land lionizing wannabees
Out of touch and lovin' it, uni(n)formed opinions
Your shallow soul is casting no shadow over me
Who is your master?
Shallow soul casting no shadow, I'm listening
Who is your savior?
Reaching for the bottom brick of a Jenga tower
Fucking just to feel a thing in my darkest hour
Trend-abiding peons celebrating ignorance
Commentary is beyond intellectually vacuous
Bread and circuses

Stiff lower lips, pardon my hardon
Hibernating for some time, reason can break even the best of us
It's the return of the killer D, a gift to womankind
You want it, baby, you're paper thin, and ca(u)mera shy
Perky tits and firm tight butts can not escape sexist remarks
One-liners or plain cheesy puns. You bring erections to the world, girl
Come, don't need to know what's real
I only see, only dream photoshopped white lies
(pushed in place, perfect size)
Fix her
I come in shades and V-neck t-shirts
Won't go down in history but i'll go down on you and your sister
With legs wide open you'll welcome me and I'll pay you back in kind
I'm growing older yet worry-free about whom I ride
Perky tits and firm tight butts make the world go 'round and dads go nuts
As far as objects go I must say, you're as exquisite as they come, girl
Jenny had such a lovely face for my displaced sexual frustrations
Jenny's shaped like a porcelain vase, but sometimes she thinks, even speaks
Someone please FIX HER!
Under the cloak of chivalry, I have to say God bless misogyny
Under the guise of galantry, I have to say God bless misogyny

Rediscover Me

If the words, the words, the words behind your back
Do not sound pristine, or clear, just hide your grin
Each to their own
Feeling cursed or worse; immersed in flux reversed
You deceive, relieve, then leave the ones in need
Right in front of me, everything i took for granted
Flying across the sky, staring at stars that shine so bright
Just close your eyes and hold me tight again and this night will never end
You kick and scream, but thats not enough
You beg and plead, but that's not enough
You sweat and bleed, but that's not enough so
spare this ghost of me
I secede, concede, mislead the hand that feeds
Never cared to share details behind my stare
Don't you talk about despair
Poignant moments drop into the great unknown
These streets will drown you when the city lights burn out

Step inside and i won't be fine
Locked in tight,we're at home tonight
Hold your breath,reckless thoughts abide
Wave goodbye and i won't be fine
Clockwork brings back unspoken names
Red tapestries on washed out graves
Heard you sigh, and i won't be fine
I'm stuck in time because i believe that we're tied
In one sweeping breath our worlds collide
In one speck of time our paths divide
Got one faith and one day we must step inside

Noise Riding

Come on everyone, party all night long
Drink up, baby, leave thinking to the dumb...wait, what?
You gotta bounce, shake it, dance your troubles away
You gotta party like there's no tomorrow and forget yesterday
To that song, trashing politics, foreign economies, walling off the flood of mass disseminated schemes
Except, you don't care about feeling or the message underneath it,
when your schizofrenic lifestyle's boastfully devoid of meaning
You thought i would never be that hands on, surprise motherfucker I'm a dead zone! SING!
Chillin' in the club, lookin' like a stud
It was misguided belief, must have been misguided belief
when you finally got fed up with me
feeling like you're honestly fed up with me, getting sick of me
Wasting away, facing away, finding a word that rhymes with 'away'
Pour some delay on channel eight, got to sound cool if you want to get laid
And the rain keeps falling down on me

Being Manipulated

Constant expiation, and I owe you big time
Starved for destination with an open mind
Submission's caught me by surprise, there is no stronger chain than comfort
Ambition in your fiery eyes, it's no coincidence you always
Take the wheel
Ten foot strings attached to me, you like puppeteering me
I can't wait to take control, I'm locked up in my room alone
Spinning in circles, you found me, Without a purpose
When the dust settles, I won't be your servant, sound your own alarms
And you said you would, you said you'd be still upon my breath
And you said you would, you said you, but you stabbed me in the back
these are my..
Let me go then you follow me
We're guilty both in the first degree
Wedded so indissolubly
in little boxes, paradoxes

Give in to your stupid dreams
of unmatched wit and jacked physique
and i won't prolong my stay, baby
forcing something out just to be clean
Run away from all you need
Got appearances to keep
and i won't take long. This charade, it's
forcing something out just to begin
I've spend too much in your name
and too much can drive a man insane
Just sign this affidavit, I need to make a deposit
I'll be your California king, always
Prep for plastic surgery
while above you missiles rain
cuz you don't belong here, degrading
Buy this and your life will be complete, take a seat
Cult of self, junk food medicine in Styrofoam parcels
Cult of self, medicate me, get me high as fucking hell
I've spend too much in your name
had my share of cultural decay
Retreating into grandeur,by the time you people find me
I'll be your California king, always

Ignorant and unintelligent
uneducated and inelegant
born a fool; bow to beings omnipotent
you used to matter now you're insignificant
like me
how did you get so weak?
how did you get so small?
Racist, sexist, fascist, homophobe and then some
Patriarch, allegiant to the Flag and the Gun
Elitist, ageist, speciesist and much more to come
Let them be, baby, be morally bankrupt
Because fear fades, and guilt fades, and ideals fade, and descency fades
So when all else fails, you cling to unemotion
how did you get so weak?
how did you get so small?
How did you get so dumb?
how did you get so small?
All this hatred and animosity
Only benefit our gift for monstrocity
Is reality tv colonoscopy
the sole remnant of western philosophy?
Hooked on everything except generosity
Addicted to everything except generosity
Suddenly, i feel indifferent to your misery
so don't remind me
Can't you see that I'm entitled to my apathy?
I wish you'd just go away
You annoy me
Why don't you just go away

State Of Otherness
05:21

It's silently awaiting, planning it's every move ahead
patiently confined
It fools me in with arms of love, but when push comes to shove
I'll be left behind
It breaks my spirit and it rips my will to shreds
It builds up right inside then tears me down again
It takes away from me what once belonged to me
It marks a wretched scar upon my very soul
It is my everything while being nothing at all
Anguished dichotomy, It comes in waves of me
Subconscious enemy, reflecting me
It burns eternally, it burns internally
It separates, it tears skin from bone
you're safe here with me
Effortlessly calculating, fate reaches out to me and gently holds me
Mirror reflects a perfect stranger, impostor with my face
Cracks on the glass distort our comfort
Handcuffed to savage repetition, intrinsic sovereignty
Erase the past, rewind the seasons
It clutches me and won't let go until I burn,
It pushes me beyond the point of no return
It fuels a spiral to the darkest depths of fear
Cuts through this morbid mask of flattery insincere
