Heckle

Grey in the periphery, motion standing still
Why are you a deer, blinded in high life high light
You would hate what you’ve become, killer
You know what you are inside
But you are subdued, shackled
Stop begging for life that you could’ve taken for yourself
Drooling at the light
Hell does heckle
You know
What a crowded room
It’s a shame no one’s got anything to say
You fall. Like meat. Weak legs. Slow feet.
Long line, beautiful faces. Make love, let’s fuck.
Ends here. Bone rot.
You know what you are inside
You know what you are
Stop begging for life that you could’ve taken
Drooling at the light
Hell does heckle
You know
You would hate what you’ve become, killer
You would hate what you’ve become, killer
You would eat what you’ve become, killer
You would eat what you’ve become, killer

Witness

I have what so many dreamed of
The chance to see all of history
But I will never be a part
I am, I am, well I don’t understand
But I was born several hundred years ago
Is this what it means to live
Forever a witness
Aware of everything
Incapable of even the end
I try I try, but it’s unbearable to
Sit here, sit here, sit here, sit here,
I can’t do anything at all, no speech, no tears
I want to live but I can’t make it happen

Fragility Incisions
04:52

Oh I struck a nerve
In the biggest nerd
The egghead says “put the bounty on them”
Turn the camera eyes
As the bullets fly
To make an example of them
Fragility speaks
Superiority
Of all of its senses
For every choice it makes
Only stems from its hate
With no consequences
The world spinning so fast
It tears itself from my hands
It’s grip on my incisions
The flying mouths will lie
I never wanted to die
If they say it’s my decision
Henchmen, yes men, inexperienced men
Hoardes around keyboards, “this is only a test” men
So-called “smart” men, write the definition
Of what is a “success,” then
Sometimes I want to believe
I used to be the coal in your machine
Fire for your energy
To rip apart the halves of me
The fragility speaks
Superiority
Of all of its senses
For every choice it makes
Only stems from its hate
With no consequences
The world spinning so fast
It tears itself from my hands
It’s grip on my incisions
The flying mouths will lie
I never wanted to die
If they say it’s my decision
