We never learnt from our past
Licked our wounds
Strapped our memories to the bed
And lost the need to question our intent
But all that is solid melts
And all that harms cannot be bad
So we’re set adrift
With no safe options left
It’s time to turn our attention to the ruins
That we’ll leave behind
Because our teachers cage us
Our packs engage us in ingrained pettiness
But all that is solid melts
And all that harms cannot be bad
So we’re set adrift
With no safe options left
We were never special
One in countless billions
A sea of individuals
Talking to ourselves
Like performing monkeys
In an empty room
Dancing blindly
Until the lights go out

There is no core when our hands are clean
As the words of stupidity slip by unseen
Sight unseen
We dumb it down to reach middle ground
Actors play their roles to ease the feelings of this baying crowd
Sight unseen
Fear belittles our thinking
Like a plague of idiocy
That echoes through all opinion
Until we no longer see
Our egos drive our voices
Into conformity
But nothing useful
Comes when we aren’t free
As it’s always been

We leave not what we believe
We’re lying through our teeth
Lost all sense of nuance so we no longer speak
Our shoes don’t fit our feet
We dream of rotting meat
Our lies compared to someone else’s need to compete
Lie
Lies
Whispering mouths of the here and now
Lie
Lies
Our past certainties are disavowed
We own more than we could dream
Question everything we see
Pretend that our opinions fit expected belief
We lie until we weep
But whisper in our sleep
Never noticing that what we sow is what we will reap
Lie
Lies
Whispering mouths of the here and now
Lie
Lies
Our past certainties are disavowed
You are not what you believe

We’re fed our limitations
Our belittled dreams
Laid at the feet of masters
Like battery pigs in heat
We’re burnt in crematoria
Pyres of useless tools
Found in our empty houses
With empty fucking rules
In electric lights
We expire
There must be more in
These caged lives
We give away our last breaths
We give away our days
We bite the hand that feeds us
And ask for more of the same
We’re tamed by market forces
We’re tamed by factory floors
We dine on famine victims
Go back and ask for more
In electric lights
We expire
There must be more in
These caged lives
We dream unreal perfection
Romance our basic needs
Hold the hands of parents
Who are as lost as we
We follow blind and helpless
Limit our brother’s means
Police the words of others
Through tiny fucking screens
In electric lights
We expire
There must be more in
These caged lives
We are not as we appear
Not even near

Erotic Waffle

I am a blank space
Behind bright lights
Dressed in first hand shirts to cover the fur
I eat the mould
I paint my eyes
I live a privileged life alongside
All these other privileged lives
I’ll be a victim
Of anything
So that I’ll redeem this currency
I break the news
I peddle lies
I live a privileged life alongside
All these other privileged lives
In pain we see yesterday
In pain we find our reflection
Blisters grow on ugly words
In pain we see yesterday
In pain we find where we came from
Truth is blind when unsaid lies
Suffocate
