Still they stood
WIth bouqet of death in bloom
Our eyes upon the absence
Staring down the lives all mispent
As the coffin belt fills with our friends
Numbers grow of those
Of we don't play for passion
But play pretend
And on the bets we've called in
Still ill their probability
Left to work with weary hands
Weak yet, wrought with ability
Still ill, our fragility
In the cosmic sense of capability
Not vain the push for reformation
In the static age of misinformation
The only lights left to follow
Are the ones we hold
Throught the hollows

Took a ladder straight down
To the pit of it
Felt the rungs feel down
Til I reached the pit
Took a ladder straight down
To the belly of it
A ladder straight down
To the meaning, commit
Took a ladder straight down
Felt the rungs feel down
To the floor I submit

Pauper Burial

Waste of a son
Honor undone
Waste of a son
Fail the loved ones
A worse curse
Ceaseless stain
Drag and follow
Senescent chain
And on and on
In endless verse
On the worse curse
The worse curse
And just like the greats
With dirt in my face
But lacking of works
And half the brains
I feel to die
Take with me
All the horrible fucked up shit
I feel inside
I want to die
But lack the constitution for suicide
Shoveled in a common hole
Like the greats
But lacking in works
That time underrates

Black Mold

Trying to make up for all that is lost
But never finding words to explain
Round and round and round we go
Past the point to reconcile
Never finding the courage to speak
Always finding the space to keep
Born of the same
Never to remain
Born of the same
Never to remain
Born of the same
Never to remain
Born of the same
Hate fear is all the same
What can we do
Hate fear is all the same
Stubborn, alone
Hate fear is all the same
Forever thriving in this black mold
Born of the same
Never to remain
Hate and fear
Is all the same
Born of the same
Never to remain
Born of the same
Never to remain
Hate and fear
Is all the same
What can we do
To end this game

Foredoom fucker
Your jurys a hangin
From the souls of the courts
That you swept in
Foredoom fucker
Prepare for the hangin
Governor's calls
Have failed to rang in
Killers of women
Disguised as
Keepers of life
Serve your masters
Masters of mankind
It will be a long day in hell
Before you can sleep
Without dreaming of
Ghosts betrayed
Under your rule
Of laws disobeyed
File and seal
To the judge's dark degree
Sign over the courts
With private pleas
Through false gods
Their power guaranteed
Carry us through the night
Over yards of razor wire
Through the filth and swine
In the years assigned
Keep fright
Take it under your sheets
Sleep tight
Rise and don't retreat
Carry us through the night
Over all the fields afire
Through the filth and swine
The years assigned
Keep might
Take it under your sheets
Sleep tight
Rise. Refuse retreat.

I’ve been rolling around
With my head in flight
Head on, heart hung
In a frail frame
And I’ve been thinking out loud
With words delayed
Unsensed is the time or day
I’ve been lying awake
From dreams obtrude
As my body leaves
And haunts the room
I’ve been screaming out loud
With shouts delayed
Head hung, heart sung
On debts unpaid
Whats next?
Cut some dignity
Then fit the mold
Those thoughts, they’ll get ya
When you’re alone
And feeling old
What’s next?
Is there time
To build anew
Before I feel
The true weight of error
Or be cursed its wearer

Amnesic Grade

How diverted the annals seem
On cultures raised and decreed
The cultures razed and grieved
The slighted ones denied specifically
Such prides
Favored over proofs
They chide
Those that present truths against
Their lies
Fixed in dance to honor,
Mark our amnesic grade
How diverted the annals seem
On cultures raised and decreed
Then cultures razed and grieved
Our slighted one denied so willingly
And I, and I, and I
Hope you choke
On your conceit
Hope you rot
In your defeat
Though not before
The weight of these errors
Crush us first
Who then will be
Our bearer
Though not before
The weight of these errors crush us first

Hello from a room with a view
At the window askew
In the basement it bled
All the shows in his head
To piece answers
Instead at guess best
That fill up the days
Like dead trunks they weigh
On crushed chests
With old scratch, scream the words
This is wilderness
She says as she drops her dress
Now clean up the mess
And leave this dream alone
The room is a tent
And the roots of the tree overhead
Are the chains to that god damn blessed
Your obliviousness
Hello, old scratch
My cursed good friend
Says your fixed now
And shot
So you wander til you rot and fade
Find out ya fool, ya fuck
You know where you turned
Now remember her words
This is wilderness
Don't regress
Drop the dress
They're waiting for it
Starving eyes
Empty longing
Drop the dream
An addled tenancy
You tried to fill
Infrequent still
Bent stop inside the dark shop
Lights out, clenched jaw, dry mouth
Now you're lost
Remembering how you tried
