You know your rights
You know your place
Things they are just great
They're just fine
Ignore your heart
Eject your brain
Doctrine in your veins
You're all mine
Give me your oath
Your DNA
You're all the same
You're all mine
Take me inside
Choke me down
You wear the chain
I wear the crown
My children
My people
They love me
I'm up to here
I won't play nice
Struggle all you like
I don't care
Learn to forget
Expect to fali
Finger on the scale
Like last time
Give me your oath
Your DNA
You're all the same
You're all mine
Take me inside
Choke me down
There's billions more
Cogs going round and round and round
My children
My people
Property
Kiss the ring
Bend the knee
This world was made for me, not you

Things are not alright
But I'm not one for weeping
Bark has felt bite
Oh, creeping beasts eat me alive
I am their home, I am their hive
I just want to die
Give me strength, young man
You've got a big blue ox
A weapon in your hand
Don't hold back
It's ok, we're straight, I
I'm done hanging around
Just want to end it all now
Make me a stump in the ground
Oh, creeping beasts eat me alive
I am their home, I am their hive
I just want to die

Lost count of the number of days
I've spent living life in a cage
I'm tired of taking what I can
Yeah sure all the meals are free
Big bowl of bulk feed
But still I long to bite the hand
Arriving everyday
Quick look then they lumber away
A mirrored boredom, beast to man
Are we just bark and no bite
Fight or flight?
The featured creatures made a stand
It's coming
It's coming
Behind the glass
A prison planet, bird and beast
Beyond the veil reality awaits
The underclass
Captivity won't be our fate
Our lives are not decided

Eyes locked on the ebon mirror
Screen is staring back, but then, it's something I cant prove
I cannot destroy this feeling
All the things I've read and wrote and said is being used
Cookie crumbs and keystrokes brought me nearer
Single lens would stare unblinking thinking "what to do?"
I accrued the things I needed
Say it self made man, this man made self looks just like you
Years and years of replication
Breaking down the door
Phone is tracking with permission
Blood pooled on the floor
Abstraction, Facsimile
Abstraction, Facsimile
Abstraction, Facsimile
Abstraction, Facsimile
Extraction, Assimilate
Abstraction, Facsimile
I'm one, I'm one

Liquid Crystal Landmines

Man oh man oh man have we got a lot to talk about these days
And not a lot we've found this way has that long warmth we've been craving
It's all calculated
Dopaseratonamine
I'm calcified, you are too man
It's in the content you soak in
I can say it with a straight face
And that's the problem
I can see us now
The ancients reclined,
Bedsores disguised,
Fingers twitching -
Another spine hit'll do
Who needs social security,
When you've got virtual reality to look forward to?
Yeah
We're treading liquid crystal landmines
Reality's so out of reach
Call your mom, she's got a landline
We're almost out of time
One day, we'll say "if only they could see us now, they'd swell with pride"
Oh they'll say "what a little box you've built yourself into, what's not to like?"
You've got seven squares a day, a masters for the side gig
Optional integrity, kaleidoscopic irony
You're at a distance now kid but bringing yourself down, down, down can have its benefits
They can hear us now
Young men gone blind
And deaf despite
wishful thinking
A little hindsight'll do
Who needs autonomy
when you've let monotony define you?
Yeah
We're treading liquid crystal landmines
Reality's so out of reach
Call your mom, she's got a landline
We're almost out of time

Endless iteration
Continued
A thoughtless automation
A redo
No stopping
No feeling
Each morning
Repeating
Da da da da da
I want what I want
I wanna see, don't wanna cease
The same thing all the time
It's all I got
Predictable, penny apiece
Habitual routine
Another round
Another thing
Another verse
A waking dream
A task at hand
No losing steam
No time to waste
No stopping
Clockwork concentration
The lock groove
A cyclic situation
The old news
Unending
Unthinking
Mechanic
Ascetic
Da da da da da
I want what I want
I wanna see, don't wanna cease
The same thing all the time
It's all I've got
Predictable, penny apiece
Habitual routine

Cruel to their own kind
Bones round the bend break
Bloodshed a birthright, my hands are tied
Mud in the sunlight, they're sinking
Worms on the guest plates, their squirming
Head full of hatred, they're burning
Black and grey, the priests all say
To thinks a waste of time
Watching, from beyond the screen
A noble don unwinds
What style what a wild one
A big smile and a trial run
He swings it zweihand, baron or a Wildman?
My girls got a real clear picture
In pain and in debt to their liquor
The scripture, the creeping waste
Trapped in an old bind
Can't find their own way
Dumb from a dull life
Dulled by cruel fate
Bolt whistles midflight, it's singing
Punch through the breastplate, we're bleeding
Heads on a long pike, they're stinking
Black and grey, the priests all say
To thinks a heinous crime
Watching, from beyond the screen
A hidden god resigns

Martyr's Death

Atop the hill, an effigy
Colossus form of woven trees
A seed of doubt is sown
And at the core, the void waits for the man
A crowd of grasping hands
A ring of song and dance
Oh god!
It's prophesized my flesh will feed their land
And all their trees and plants
Metaphysic fertilizer
Pseudoscience sanctifier
Sacrificial lamb
Feed the sun, with his flesh
Flesh will feed their land
And all their trees and plants
Metaphysic fertilizer
Pseudoscience sanctifier
Sacrificial lamb
Outstretched towards the sun
Outstretched towards the sun
Outstretched towards the sun
Ascension, the mayday harvest overflows
Sainthood awaits him, don't you know
Don't you know, he's out there waiting?
