Hyper Normal Living

This life is plastic
Nothing I can do
Living within prisons
Made of untruths
A virtual compound
Easy to contain
This veil drapes over our minds
Keeping us the same
Hyper normal living
False is all I know
There is no escaping
From this plastic mould
My world's synthetic
I know nothing else
A virtual prison
Built by myself
I live fictitious
Hidden in visions
Cause blindness operates
Within our very core
Hyper normal living
False is all I know
There is no escaping
From this plastic mould
Endless fictions
Placating you and me
Vicious godhead
They only ever speak to mislead
We’re silenced
Plagued by apathy
Nothing left in this world to change
Everything remains
Pacified by mass uncertainty
This lie we live
It’s all we see
This virtual reality
Is not for me
Reduced to mere machines
A calculated humanity
Dismantle this frame
Living, breathing
Under threat
No comfort til death
Until then
Know your enemy
Stay vigilant

An Abject Failure

Your thin facade
And vapid display
We’re just a breath away
From our final days
Our freedoms
Lock us in this state
Without a voice
Failures
Take me higher
Open secrets
Kept in prisms
A glass display
Suspects the same
Fears and angst
Your guilt and your shame
Without a thought
Your will’s cast aside
Just a placeholder
Watching us watching them
Watching you watching me burn
Again
Failures
Take me higher
Open secrets
Kept in prisms
Your failures
Take me higher
They’re watching
With five eyes open
Return to me
(Break it down)
Return in spite of this
Return to me
(Cast it out)
Return these flames
Return to me
(Break it down)
Return these flames
Watching us, watching them
Watch me burn
Return these flames
(Pesticide)
It’s in the breaths you take
(Falsified)
It’s in the words you say
(Justified)
It’s in the steps you take
(Cyanide)
It’s in this mess you’ve made
Failures
Take me higher
Open secrets
Kept in prisms
Your failures
Take me higher
They’re watching
With five eyes open

Turn back to face this terror, disrupting all
This prison encapsulates their mind
Ideas, seeming all the same
They won’t try to find the truth
Cause life seems so secure
Step out, gotta break out this shell
Nurture dissent
Unveil their eyes and minds
Drifting ‘round a fallen figure
One by one we fade away
Desperate to be dictated to
What’s to seek when truth is suffering?
This presence corrupts us all
Jailors manipulate their minds
Censored, shifting all the blame
Pressured to complicity
It makes you insecure
A common insanity
Nurture dissent
Unveil their eyes and minds
Afraid of external workings
You fear what’s revealed past your mind
Left in the dark, lies amplified
Don’t we look so oblivious?
Fearing the unknown
You hide from the truth
Left in the darkness
With a mirrored perception
Your truth is incomplete
Your life is pure deceit
You live your life in the dark
You’ll leave this world to seek your own
As ignorance becomes your passion
Apparent worlds are losing their grip
It’s so unreal
You ran away
You can’t explain
Afraid of external workings
You fear what’s revealed past your mind
Left in the dark, lies amplified
Don’t we look so oblivious?
Fearing the unknown
You hide from the truth
Left in the darkness
With a mirrored perception
Fearing the unknown
You hide from the truth
Left in the darkness
As you revel in deceit

I don’t need your sanity
I just need social disease
We all feed off misery
Our eyes bleed from hollow screens
My own reflection
It consumes attention
And now it masquerades
As pure objectivity
Trapped in the echo chamber now
Your thoughts, individual
Caught up in it all
It’s all mechanical
Locked down
Regurgitate
Corrupt my mind
This apathy
Endlessly distorts
So gullible
Understand
Mass delusions are a consequence
Of a self inflicted ignorance
When you remove outside evidence
What remains is truthlessness
Empty words bounce ‘round my head
This rhetoric, it’s all been said
Your thoughts, individual
Caught up in it all
It’s all mechanical
Locked down
Regurgitate
Corrupt my mind
This apathy
Endlessly distorts
I can’t see the truth behind
Falsehoods, they echo back and forth
Back and forth
Back and forth
Back and forth
Locked down

Speak & Destroy

Tell me what I need and I’ll buy it
Even if I have to steal
Anything you say I’ll believe it
Show me who you want me to kill
And I’ll kill
Nameless
Faceless
Lost unrecognised remains
You do not exist
Not like I exist
Living is not your best suit
A grave’s a better fit
We’re sacrificed for nothing
Paid in blood unnamed
Cause we don’t know any better
So show me who to kill
To murder is a privilege
Live with fear ‘til the end
And we don’t know any better
So show me who to kill, and I’ll kill
This constant state of despair
Held in division forever
They’ll bleed us until we’re dry
The retrograde will not sever
Witnessing; distant grief
Deafening; every word you’ve said
Show me who to kill
Tell me what to burn (everything)
Show us how to grieve
Teach me how to need
But not to live
If it’s you or me
I’ll come out alive
Your blood on my hands
Fulfills my purpose
You do not exist
Not like I exist
Living is not your best suit
A grave’s a better fit
In division forever
Constant state of despair
Retrograde will not sever
They bleed us ‘til we’re dry
In division forever
Constant state of despair
And we don’t know any better
Just tell me who to kill and I’ll kill

Ornamental Violence

Blood, it's on my hands
I can’t get cleansed from death
It’s all I see (my body’s prepped for)
War, the future state
Immortalise my hate
A broken mess (my mind is full of)
Rage, blinding rage
Pointless pain, silenced
White noise surrounding me
A voiceless plea, no end in sight
This cancerous plight
This cancerous plight
I’ll silence your voice
Deceptive rhetoric
My violence, your choice
It’s ornamental
A torrent of will
A sense of ridicule
Placed on a pedestal
It’s ornamental
Sorrow and joy
It’s ornamental
Violence for all
We’re ornamental
These broken bones and twisted nerves
Gathered and framed, no sense of shame
These blinded eyes and empty veins
Gathered and framed, so unashamed
I cast a die and wilt away
From things that I could never be
It’s always hard to see
And we bite the hands that feed until
We propagate our misery
I place it on a shelf, out of sight
Whatever helps you sleep at night
I’ll silence your voice
Deceptive rhetoric
My violence, your choice
It’s ornamental
A torrent of will
A sense of ridicule
Placed on a pedestal
It’s ornamental
Sorrow and joy
It’s ornamental
Violence for all
We’re ornamental

Born into violence
Sheltering us
An illusory culture of theft
They steal every breath
Watch as the shadows conquer horizons
For one’s progress to thrive another’s must cease
Look at how all their affluence screams
As they take it from you
Yeah they take it from you
Power disrupts our will
And shapes the bonds that
Binds us, shape us, feed us
They ultimately blind us
Culture owns you and me
Power for power and deed for debt
Your work is your play, you live with regret
You’re weary and sick, your feet in cement
Struggling to breathe, you sink to the depths
Cause they take every breath
Yeah your breath is in debt
As power disrupts our will
And shapes the bonds that
Binds us, shapes us, feeds us
They ultimately blind us
Culture owns you and me
We must tear it down
Just tear it down
Your vision
A herd, deceived
Steered toward oblivion
Foster resistance
Plant the cataracts
In the eyes of the prophets
Leave them blind
Hidden meanings
Revealed
Beneath the page
Deceitful teachings
Cast aside
Nothing remains
My thoughts are automatons
Rendered predictable
My action’s consumable
My torment
My despair
My terror
Caught in this web, I’m done
Deep in the fog, I’m lost
Buried alive, I’m gone
Sickness for everyone
Violence adorns these walls
Etched into the insides of my skull
Poison swells within my eyes
Darkened by every falsehood I've been told
Caught in this web, I’m done
Deep in the fog, I’m lost
Buried alive, I’m gone
Born under a callous sun
No you don’t understand
You cannot relate to this
Up in a tower you sleep on a pile of bones
But wake up from your deceit
Severed heads will fall
They’ll fall
Undo the knots around our culture
Reveal the lies that hide beneath
Tear these structures down
Open up the cage surrounding us
Undone and untamed
To disavow
Exorcising empty crowns
Reclaim ourselves
Disassociate truth
From endless power
Counteract and disrupt
Corrupt constructs
