Transference of Fear

stare affixed to the grey concrete
the sound of insects swarming when you speak
thought burns out in your stunted frontal lobe
and what you see on the wall is all that you know
sterile minds speak sterile thoughts
and those of the herd fold into the flock
hysteria ablaze in your lizard brain
inversion of logic, a fever dream
my restraint bows and breaks
for addicts of panic and strangers to pain
my restraint bows and breaks
for vacant minds that can't relate
my restraint bows and breaks
my restraint bows and

Burning Money for Warmth
01:49
|

the pale horse hands of the headsman
are growing restless
the darkness drops like an axe edge
from indifferent heavens
holy terror in the blank eyes
of vermin swarming
a burning pillar of the end time
vultures circling
please just drop the bombs
the teeth of waiting gnaw
accept futility
worship uncertainty
plague as medicine
welded shut tenements
a failed state governed
by a fallen species
the center ruptures and order escapes
the round is chambered, the hand is raised
the center ruptures and order escapes
trapped inside of a dying machine
before long you'll know the day
burn money for warmth and freeze anyway

Return to Sender
02:21
|

the last hope for civility
is dragged out and shot in the alleyway
snarling swine inside of an asphalt maze
and the glow of contempt lights your way
pursued by waves of gnashing teeth
as you’re crushed beneath the cold comfort of state
collateral damage
return to sender
the burning of fear
return to sender
mass extortion
return to sender
the narcotic quell
dehumanization
you’re chained to a pipe in the basement of night
force meets resistance
smooth running order at the cost of human life
the bloodshot eye unyielding
docile bodies prostrate on the floor
subjects to discipline and punish
choking down the terminal cure
a prison within a prison
the cell within the self
control was always an illusion
the cage inside demands to be filled
