Manic Decompression
02:13
|
|||
Seized up, beaten down
It's what your born into
Existence buries you - spitting teeth
The fighters instinct in the face of attack
Guttural intuition keeps the knife out of your back
Manic decompression
Will you fight or die?
Psychotic disposition
Flip that switch
Or you won't get out alive
Rabid dog, back to the wall
Rabid dog, beckoning the call
I've got a notion you'll survive
Don't seize up - let it ride
Otherwise your new home
Is a shallow grave of your very own
Manic decompression
Violence never pays
Live by the sword die by the sword
Got one foot in the grave
Shallow grave

Human Locusts
01:38
|
|||
Comes a time, a living cycle dies
When humans playing God
Never, ever turns out right
Evil pricks In the gene pool
Modify the sacred
Human locusts devour the living Earth
So little to sustain
This swarm of dead humanity
Evil pricks In the gene pool
Modify the sacred
Taste the proverbial moment
As you embrace the collapse of time!
It's the nature of a species
To exceed beyond it's means
Down that road of intuition
Somehow it always ends the same
Extinction

Disasteroid Mutation
02:20
|
|||
1964 - the year I was sentenced to be born
Set loose upon the earth
Disasteroid mutation
Human wrecking ball
Swinging like a chandelier
Back and forth
To and fro
Can't grasp millennial math
Fuck the universe, life's insane
It's just a figment of
Some God's deranged imagination
3......2......1....fire!
Live and learn
Learn or burn
Burn fire...burn!
Torch the universe
Cleansing flames
This ant like colony has gone insane
Our god damned human race
Can't we shed our parasitic ways?
No need to rape the earth
For everything it's worth
It'd be cool to keep in mind
What provides us life
And keep that source alive

Tent City Exodus
02:19
|
|||
All methed out, lurking hard
Sharpened spork
Stolen girls ten speed bike
Won't support my mammoth form
So I threw it at you
Smell of gas as the levee quafes
Tweaking out by myself
With my imaginary bros
Split personality party
Leaves me so alone
Campfires burn... burning plastic and tires
Dirty needles hide in piles of human shit
Tent City Exodus...
Who's left to deal with it?
Tent City Exodus... fucking deal with it!
Tweaking out by myself
With my imaginary bros
Come and help the lonely.....
Sorry, invite only
Intermittent fits of dialogue
Between the walking dead
Screaming to ourselves and to each other
Fuck you brother....

Older and Wiser
01:38
|
|||
Tiny minutes disappear
Another day, another God damned year
And as you look back
Your memory retracts
Into a blur of pleasant dreams
... or so it seems
Like the sun that lights the day
Or that life giving rain
As tiny minutes disappear
You might find, so does the fear
Older and wiser, that ain't just a phrase
Live and prosper, enjoy your earthly daze
Your earthly time is all you own
Everything else is mere material distraction.....tiny minutes disappear

Bleeding Fingers
02:14
|
|||
Bleeding fingers grasp the barbwire fence
Past becomes a swamp of infinite regret
Dying embers, extinguished fire
Captive bubble of runaway desire
A toxic cloud emits
From a pile of wasted days....
And nights
The anguish, another day
Forced to interact, can't find a thing to say
Is silence golden in every way?
Or is it molten with hideous decay?
The bubble never bursts
As you find yourself immersed
In everything you hate
The pieces of the puzzle
Fall gently into place
Your mind will never let you out
Of this cauldron of disgrace
Your bubble never bursts
And you live your life immersed
In everything you hate

Terminal Disarray
01:49
|
|||
Terminal strife awaits
A permanent state of disarray
The Joy of standing in line
Will occupy the bulk of your life
What about the past?
I'm not sure... Put down your phone
Try to remember
Vision's blurred and your world is slurred
A word
Dumb such luck... you braindead fuck
Time left you behind
What gaped out your virgin mind?
Technology tore you a new one
And left your brain askew
What about the past?
Did it even happen?
Stare at your phone and never remember
Vision's blurred and your world is slurred
A world
Dumb such luck... you braindead fuck
"Felchbook" and "Instagram"
The ultimate new age scam
Graciously providing free personal information
To various corporate entities
That were sick and tired of having
To pay for it

Sobriety Hurts
02:41
|
|||
I engage in beer, often way too much
Perhaps a different hobby
Might bring me better luck
Dear God... sobriety hurts
Getting drunk makes it worse
The catch 22, so plain to see
Feeling fine when I get that sauce in me
It's true a better hobby
Might bring me different luck
Wherelse can I find a pastime
That lets me fuck shit up?
Dear God.. sobriety hurts
Getting drunk makes it worse
The paradox, so plain to see
Yet, I feel so fine when I get that sauce in me
The party goes on
Until you pass out
And then you wake up...
As the truth slithers out..
Panic and depression
Infantile state of child-like regression
Back to the womb in a fetal position

Gentrification is strange
Almost invisible as it invades
Then she's evicted and he's addicted
Once normal people out on the streets
Now she's addicted
We're all evicted
Broken community
Out on the streets
Trust fund hippies living off their dads
Jesus beards and Mercedes vans
No consequences for anything they do
Entitled yuppie fucks got nothing to lose
Meanwhile
The whole West coast has gone to hell
No graveyard plot they wouldn't sell
No sacred stone goes left unturned
No God damned bridge they haven't burned
Better put us locals in cages
Our outrage reached contagion bloodshed unfolds as it should
Taking back the neighborhood
Taking back the neighborhood
Taking back the neighborhood
Local culture disappears
That sacred past we all hold dear
There's a silver tongued wolf
Breaking the news to you
That you have to leave that place that you've called home for 20 fucking years
This
Means
War

Blob of Mediocrity
02:14
|
|||
Dead, gone and bleached away again
Earth's cultural exchange
Brainwashed white bread sheep
Collective blob of mediocrity
Eclipse of history
They've manicured the sands of time
Paving their way with human lives
It leaves a taste so sick and bland
Shape shifting villains in disguise
Re-manifest before our jaded eyes...
To rob us blind!
Eclipse of history
As they whitewash the sands of time
Paving their way with human lives
Words unspoken never save the herd
This common burden
Slowly kills the world
And as we wait, my stomach turns
Like some nauseated hourglass of time
Time - ripens the fruit on the vine..
Rotting the fruit off the vine

Shadow Panther

Violent left
Violent right
Impaled together by the same dull knife
Butting heads through eternity
In a raging battle of stupidity
Whirlwind of ungodly blight
Religion fueled scissor fight!
You're a slippery little bastard ain't cha
Hey, aren't you that faceless entity?
Are you that shapeless form?....
Or are you just the invisible structural basis
For every violent religion in history?...
Wow!! Big fucking secret...
Shrouded in mystery
Whirlwind of ungodly blight
Religion fueled scissor fight!
Hit the deck, brace yourself!
Untimely wave of shadows overwhelms
Kingdoms fold, dreams deflate
The math stacks up but it won't equate
Kingdoms burn, dreams decay
These figures don't lie yet they won't equate
Whirlwind of atomic blight
Religion fueled fire fight
Hit the deck, brace yourself!
Untimely wave of shadows overwhelms
