- WELCOME THE PLAGUE YEAR/we had hoped for so much more...
I saw a hundred sad souls today.
Blank stare, blistered, beaten.
All conversation and social interaction cease to exist,
Caused by exhaustion and depression.
What are we doing with ourselves?
I’ll see another hundred sad souls tomorrow,
Trying to figure out how they got to this point in life.
The last good day is not in recent memory.
For those who said “fuck it-I quit,”
They now occupy street corners, dark allies, and cardboard boxes asking for kindness.
Receiving kicks in the face.
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness failed these sad souls.
Something kept close, growing, living, knowing what can’t go away.
What has been found?
Years of holding in my simple life.
To feel this world dying within itself, as it falls to its knees…as we die…our kids to see a dead world.
We kill for them…as we die.
- FUNERAL DINER/yeah, you remember that...
Words spoken a from silver-tinged mouth.
So easy to do the looking down when you're permanently entrenched on higher ground.
Say these words, cut this skin, sharpen the teeth and I'll bleed.
As if bleeding was ever enough or you.
Turn me away, I'll laugh.
Wrapped up, packed, and on the path I made for myself.
You can count on that and ascend with the pleasure of always being in the right.
Burn your name, and who you represent, and what you stand for.
Erase the pity signals, shave the meaning away, and destroy the message you always scream so loud.
