In a world where money is so hard to come by,
You won’t find a thing for free.
Why the fuck should we listen?
Why the fuck should we obey?
Needles through flesh,
Ink soaked into skin.
In your altered state of mind,
You are stronger than they will ever be.
Education favours a select few,
Talent favours even fewer,
They will only get you so far.
It’s who you know in this fucked up world,
That will make you who you are.

Beast In The Basement

I awoke,
The shapes of creatures dancing on my mind.
The face in front of me lies.
‘We are a cult unheard of
Our coevality unknown’
Drawn in by skeptic eyes,
I’m told to make myself at home.
Among the decaying walls,
Where the concrete foundations crumble.
And as a society they fall,
I hear the whispers amongst the debris.
There will be no vindication, in your hour of need.
They stopped living, long before they died.

Keep turning the pages if that’s what keeps you warm.
Keep turning the pages if that’s what helps you sleep.
Keep turning the pages if that’s what makes you feel safe.
All this blind hatred is caused by the superstition you hang around your neck.
Fuck the clean slate that is your self-righteous conscience.
Their blood is on your hands.
The horse is dead but you wont stop fucking beating.
Keep turning the pages.

Winter Nights

Last moment of sun,
Last moment of light.
The cold creeps in,
Bringing the fall of night.
Loneliness on top of the unrest.
Thoughts become dreams, screaming out,
To these winter nights,
These winter nights.
When not even my thoughts can keep me warm.
When not even my dreams can keep me sane.
I find comfort in these empty roads and sleepless nights.
These thoughts of you take me back.
I find comfort in the cold, these winter nights.
When the roof tore off and the floor fell out,
You were something I had to live without.
These broken rapports are something that I live with now,
You’re just another thing I’m not ready to live without.

Like the ramifications of a shotgun blast to the face at point blank range,
A revolting atrocity not to be witnessed by the mortal.
