THE MARACA
m/l : n.r.
I live existing on the clicks of sounds
I have the faceless comfort of a frown
My time is spent shielded off from the sun
I cannot seem to care for anyone
My boredom shifts and shapes its shallow skin
And that’s just when I find it’s wakened
Our bed is full but won’t you come join in
We both speak captchas loudly when we sin
The door is locked but still I have a key
I cannot open what’s inside of me
There is no chance but just you wait and see
There is no point if you are not me
And still this boredom shifts this shallow skin
I wish my life could be awakened
I wish there was a way to begin
To gain control as if I ever did
Is it my dreams have carried too far?
I think my dreams have turned into scars
I’ve seemed to miss my last train stop?
Inertia seems to make my skin drop
I close my eyes for space that has no age
A piece of mind I cannot assuage
A journey that just leads back to a grave
We all surf coffins all like good slaves
And still this boredom shifts this shallow skin
I wish my life could be awakened
I wish there was a way to begin
To gain control as if I ever did
I live existing on the clicks of sounds
I have the faceless comfort of a frown
My time is spent shielded off from the sun
I cannot seem to care for anyone

THE PHAKE
m/l : n.r.
backing vox : d.w.
remix main vox : d.w.
You disappoint me
With every word you fling from your mouth
It’s so heartbreaking
To hear potential crash to the ground
If there’s a scapegoat
You’ll pretend that’s it’s all of their fault
But when confronted
You try and say that it’s all just in fun
Does it excite you?
Just to fly off in anger and rant
You’re a false poet
Can’t pull the gloves now glued to your hands
You want to be everything to everyone
You want to show everyone that you’re above
You really think that you’re beyond our reach
You ought to practice what you try to preach
You want to be everything to everyone
You want to show everyone that you’re above
You really think that you’re beyond our reach
You ought to practice what you try to preach
Amen.
some people will know their faults
some people will make their fate
some people will know they're wrong
but some will not know that they're just phake
some people deserve to crawl
some people reserve to play
some people will stay at pause
until life is just one grave mistake
And one day you will know we’re fake.

THE IMPERSONATOR
m/l : n.r.
w/ drum pattern assistance
by b. guderjohn
backing vox : d.w.
There comes a time when we must say goodbye
To all the people we were, and the different lives
We lead now, all alone, we can’t function in light
Of all the time that has come and has burned out
All that was given
Holding on to the dead without sight
Is just re-chaining yourself
To a lack of excitement
We can’t function in light of
The time that’s burned
And stretched all out with all that was or has been given
You wear your clone like it’s bottled cologne
Can’t seem to be without someone else watching you “just be”
Honing, toning, your whole world around
Your world ringer is only hoofbound
Imitator!
Your core reality is all but eaten
Agitator!
And all these souls you drown when they get sucked in
Impersonator!
Your drama’s thinner than the masks you call friends
Violator!
Your deception is the saddest defense
Honing, toning, your whole world around
Your world ringer is only hoofbound
Rehash castings to escape their doubt
Your whole life runs on approvals now
Honing, toning, your whole world around
Rehash castings to escape their doubts
Your whole life is all for them now
Your whole life is all for them now
Break off your robotic ways
Break out your paper thin cage
Do something once
That is just for yourself

THE DARK ROSE
m/l : n.r.
Here the dark grows
Bowed like the rose
Beseeched the wish we made
God just gave ghosts
Here the the dark grows
Ours was so close
When time came to be
We just bled froze
I waited so long
You waited so hard
All of the grief we made
Must've not been enough
Here the dark grows
Ours are shadows
That try to swallow
All we want most
I'll wait too long
If you wait too hard
All we need is each other
And it's only a bit farther
I'll wait too long
You wait too hard
And all of the grief we gave
Will give us back what's ours
Here the dark grows
Bowed like the rose
Beseeched the wish we make
God just gives ghosts
Here, the dark rose
But in time it slows
And just like everything
It soon to shall go

THE brAekbAest
m/l : n.r.
Forward face
Extend wave
Greet their grace
Smile and shake
Auto gauge
Hardened brace
Meaningless gaze
Retreat daze
I am your personal conscience
I am your personal monstrance
I am your personal painter
I am your personal maker
I am your personal guidance
I am your personal garbage
I am your personal savior
If you would only obey the rules
Singularity is cheap
Can we not just break this beast?
Broken machines that still bleed
Trying just to break this beast

THE HIEROPHANT
m/l : n.r.
River of waste
Displaced thrombase
Heartbeat erased
Snaked skin new race
Mechanics graced
To fix this place
And clamp your collar down
Infantile beings with no premonition
Concerned indifference?
Objects just feed and crawl!
Visceral surgery
Host domination
Ripe with subsistence
Pale fleshed insects
Polish your ultra smooth skin!
Fatten your bellies to brim!
Sink your teeth into your foe!
Please tell how it tastes for us all, cattle!
There is a sun that warms no more
There is a son that cooks us all
Here in this trance we've lost it all
But the good book has saved us all
