Thrown from the safety of home, Excommunicated from the hive, Our world is collapsing, And everything we know is caving in on itself. We're living on the edge, The light is seeping through the cracks in the walls. The new sun is blinding. We've awoken on the edge, The light is blinding. The walls have grown apart. Releasing the swarm. We're living on the edge, The light is seeping through the cracks in the walls. The new sun is blinding. Our world has become a cold, dead place. Rip them apart, watch the skin fall off of their bones. Leave it all behind, condemn it and burn it down. Cast the final stone and match, Before the final plan of attack. Bury it, leave no trace. Through these vibrations, They've dug their own graves. There's no way out of here.

Got this quiet disadvantage. What I can’t see, When eyes won’t sleep, Where and why I hide to dream. Am I now the violence that must be this tired and cold existence? The treaties for trepidation, tied to the meager struggle of one’s conscience. (Dismiss, easily, you stayed when I came home.) (You appeared so quickly, comfort in the cold.) Dismiss, easily, you stayed when I came home. you appeared so quickly, comfort in the cold. Brazen, I know. Unsheltered, I’ll go. (Let me be the final breath you breathe.) Let me be the final breath you breathe. (Let me be the burden you lived.) Let me be the burden you lived. Captured that old sick feeling, Contoured my stale breathing. Goddess, quiet, disadvantage. Who ignores the wreckage, Becomes the forrest, Now seek refuge in the trees.

Nothing to say - blahbittybah watch out for those who knows whats coming now syllabals expressing nonsense what was it exactly i was writing about? I have no clue but on paper you might be inclined to try to make sense of this I'm filling up space i'm just trying to get through it ending of this line is now! Words fall right into place for writers block forces us to sweat write it all down meeting deadlines nothing working so just write, write about that yeah! Form the perfect allegory from the words that spill out of your mouth (2x) "you and I will bring meaning to this phrase" look into my eyes and see I am not afraid formless objects melt away deep inside my brain relate to what you can and take meaning from this space I just hope you walk away and consider what you take within all our bodies lies the tools creative outlets are a way for you express the feelings stored up deep inside through these sonic walls kept in time I press on this is the last line in the song the last line ever.

we've soaked language in liquid lusted after the plot lines we stole we let the moment slip with reprieve to place hands upon its lung pray the water stills the throat shame me with a bitter fuck i need it, i need it, can I hear it in a drunk and stagnant tune? i'm a little insurgent and not yet covered in shit no not a sound I make could sing along with it man in charge is serpent to hear the under-enlightened apologize for its flesh all the ancient blood has been tampered with the future will never come at this rate -associates of iniquity i attest this secular address neither opulent nor sumptuous we garner in reverence to the broken, busted, abused and untrusted blasé in our brilliance they heard us scream: we rot in unmarked graves you’ll scratch deadbeat on mine- she muttered, emptiness is the mother of all things you could hear their roar through fragile teeth a spark will grow of stale breath without retreat i tricked them out of panic so they weren't scared to die we are worthless out of time give them voices to be carried by march with us home this is not the only way peel back the scab you call your city devour your shit list cut the strand of fucking nerves live underneath the mortar we haven't tousled fate without reveling in unrest we are the bottom of the pyramid aye was it clean? did it flicker soul or shackle bone? was it everything you're meant to see? then why not bare mettle? fan the flames of rife this could’ve been the greatest fucking anthem of your life but the sick sick clamor in you dies to preserve nothing oh when it sparked it clung to the world to breathe since it seems that every heart that beats for freedom requires nothing but a slug of lead i demand my share

Entropy Rose from the death of me A procreation of foul indescreet radiant mass Plastered with confidence, groundless What a fucking waste of skin and waste of breath Abate to contradict yourself The blight of living inherent Extinction should expedite itself Open all the exits Cauterize the exit wounds Lacerating tissue Cauterize the exit wounds Foul indescreet mass Trapped in the cogs of redemptions wheel Internal conflict as the organs abstrict

Pulse soared in free form An effort to try more Careful on calm shores A still hand, a stale core I walked inside, turned the key clockwise I didn’t want you to get caught in this So sent digressions instead I guess it’s just the way Everyone else was made I hoped this time I’d stay We can’t just build new roads Across these empty plots of land that we don’t own We’ll just have to rely A little longer on our current failing infrastructure Oceans look no deeper Unless their buoyancy’s tested You said it’s time to get up The light already shown It’s getting harder to make Whatever I could just postpone Til tomorrow There was an answer I just don’t Remember now You used to wake up at night You sat next to the door You used to wonder how we could relive All the dreams explored The night before You used to slow at the corners We used to want to grow Now we’re better off, right? Once in a while I find myself floating If you just stay still you won’t notice The current pulling Drift an undulant form Further than seagulls will go Left the phone beside the bed I left the key on the desk Whatever else I may have left I can come and take the rest Slow the current goes Don’t wait up til I get home Tow and tethered flow I’ll be right outside the door Don’t forget your classes start Don’t forget to study hard Hope you do your best, I do Sorry I can’t be there

Happiness-one color in a broad spectrum Nothing but a fleeting lie Time and life will be erased Going day by day Reaching for a solution To a natural process - misery They're reaching for an island But it's floating many years Above the sea they swim Float above them Accept misery Good cats and good dogs Don't have to get along To live in a good home Why dont they tell them that? Why don't they spend their time another way? Why don't they understand? Why? Why dont I tell them that? Why don't I spend my time another way? Why don't I understand? Why?

Everything is fucking written You all walk, las, heavy steps You all walk, without even believing in your path/way This fucking life, ignorance swallowed for good She will fall into this gaping hole that you dug Without even filling it Get out of these paved roads With the skulls of the ignorants who built them They crack under your feet There will never carry you This soporific fall sounds/ rings like this cycle which surrounds you Stop praying authority. Free your mind Blind monk coated in gold. Singing mercy, one more cross showing at the void Look! Don’t you see? This stick that you reach out to get beaten Call labor, work. It’s on the stick of the devil that you are leaning on. You would kill for her Like you were taught to do.

Hoping to delay every exchange Altering state or staying the same Transform and reshape, in the midst of all this Not yet finished, so much will to fight it A misprediction, these differences don't sit well Somewhere between what is next and what has been Ease of recollecting Never to project it Harboured and held to We stretch to fit Are taught to drift The succession of the inevitable When it tears, when it ruptures, prepare It's fleeting and transient and all that is definite It becomes clear to us only in retrospect Idly engage, in rooms left to wait Lapses forgotten, here to remain Tempted by fate Outshine the grey, get carried away Aimlessly searching , forever stray Unfolding As it should

METEORITE In my hands I've found yours, warm. Only the bodies of those who used to hold you close have stayed to satiate the jaws of our shattered perspectives. I will chew your flesh, leaving mine to you. We will delude ourselves we are going to last forever. And in the ecstasy of omnipotence we will dig each other's limbs. Every morning I open my eyes and I look for you. Unable to watch myself getting older. Fed with the order that oppresses your steps. - original lyrics: METEORITE Tra le mani, mi ritrovo, calde, le tue. Solo i corpi di chi ti stringeva al suo fianco sono rimasti a saziare le fauci delle nostre prospettive in frantumi. Masticherò la tua carne, lasciandoti la mia, ci illuderemo di durare in eterno e nell'estasi dell'onnipotenza scaveremo l'uno tra le membra dell'altro. Ogni mattina apro gli occhi e ti cerco, incapace di guardarti invecchiare, mi sfamo dell'ordine che opprime i tuoi passi.

A high contrast photograph of a stallion putting itself down is taken every day. There’s no hell for bad people. No hell. I don’t care anymore about murderers, I don’t want to kill them back. There’s no hell for bad people.
