Network Theater
02:17
|

the mask is on
to hide it, we buy it
the camera's on
so serve it, we'll take it in
fantasy
passed off as
the only choice we have.
so take it well and drink it down.
down, down, let's go.
we live for commentary
opposing views like theater
the claws, the teeth, the banter
inform or entertain, who knows?

Symptoms or Design
01:19
|
|||
what are the symptoms of
a well adjusted man
that fits in
and meets standard requirements
emotion kept repressed
resulting in
a violent lash out
as a solution for their fears
and this is modern man
and this is every man
please, help me.

Plates, Clothes and Cars

the sanitary state of
the receiving end
makes it so easy to
partake in what's convenient
to waste a thought on
the other side of the wall
the crowded life in that crate
those lives untold
end product in our hands that
shares no evidence
absent of historicity
no guilt of the timeline
to waste a thought on
the other side of the wall
the crowded life in that crate
those lives untold
should be seen should be heard
deserve more than we give

Old Punk Narratives
01:37
|
|||
we backed ourselves
into a dead end
without a plan b
as time moved on
we stayed the same
and thought we'd win
we're catching up on balanced acts
just to survive
and the truth is
we're not cut out for
lives of deception

Power and Boundaries
01:21
|
|||
sympathy
can be abused so easily
history
to justify a genocide
dishonor
of pre agreed stipulations
victimizing
through a false discrimination
is freedom
a luxury
afforded
on unjust terms

What You're Leaving
02:31
|
|||
each day is impermanent
backed by structures that have died off
yeah, they've died off
let's all face the cold truth in that
we've passed the point of no return.
let's all now take on accountability
for our part in dealing out the final blow
another day of sailing on
another broken sinking ship
we ignore the signs too many times, too many times
we induldge the sense to avert our eyes, avert our eyes
