Neighbor Terrorist

We’ve all been through it before
You call the cops with crime at your door
I get robbed they do nothing
Park my car they come rushing
Ticket waving swine
My income is mine
Above reproach
Something you boast
Less than a roach
Something id toast
Im speaking ill of all of you
Of every action every tissue
I'd rather die than back the blue
I'd rather kill myself and see the tickets i accrue
Lower wealth
Lower being
Abnormal health
Abnormal treatment
No laws to abide by
You dont care if you slide by
Jail youth and say its good
Breaking laws everyone should
Fuck your clause fuck your cause
Need applause you're a fraud
Wish you'd go to hell tomorrow
Give commands no one has to follow
Face repercussions and wallow
Neighbor terrorist is a tough pill to swallow
Steal money cash the squad
We need this ended the system is flawed
My barber went to school longer
He hasn't killed anyone either
Funny how i'm gonna trust him more
Funny how power over others isn't something i care for
You best believe they need reform but thats uncalled for
You best believe they flee the scene but thats “accounted for”

Parasites for Rulers

Suffering across the country
Let me tell it lt to you bluntly
Everything we know is wrong
People starving all along
What war have we ever won
What have we solved with your gun
Torture victims just for fun
Bomb their hospitals then their sons
All to line their pockets
Dump it in their market
less they lose control
Unless we take ahold
Drop the guillotine
Wanna see them scream
All the lives they took
All the books they cook
Control our information
Control our prices
Discredit education
Hate crime silent
Break our necks and say nothin
Like it didn't happen
Like you hadn't killed them
Prey on poor folk like dogs
They do it once and think they’re gods
Left alone in a dessert
They’d use up all the sand
Then Blame it on the workers
Justice and demands
Remove these lurkers
Liars Cheaters Parasites
Corrupt malicious leaders

Ideations

Its more than a feeling
Something i cant shake
It sends me reeling
Nausea more than an ache
Won't speak about it in person
Dont worry it’ll only worsen
Most days i feel like a lost cause
Work the work and obey the laws
My feet hurt but away with gauze
I'm done stepping on my own clawse
Little dipper see the stars align
Brittle bitter see my head bind
What to do today
To Stare at my wall
To Stare at my screen
Go to work and repeat the routine
Go to work and become a machine
No joy
No passion
Its all a ploy
Just a fashion
Its not a choice
Im working for rations
But I have no voice
Communicable assassins
Suicide in my dreams
Im never alone
It never leaves
Wake up frustrated
I just wish i hadnt at all
My fate is long awaited
Wont end it early its not my call
Deplete myself til i fall
Hatred spreads like urban sprawl
Strew my guts all down a hall
Stew my thoughts in a self violent parable
The life I leave so comparable
My little impact is unbearable
The way I think its truly terrible
The way I shrink its unforgettable
The way you sink its untenable
The way I slink its fully skeptical
The way I think its really reprehensible

Disenfranchised

Pigs set a blaze to my eyes
Its half the fire that burns inside
Between coded lies and floating cries
Violently contained subjects collide
We find mutual understanding
You are always among siblings
A righteousness they like underhanding
Communicating peers they like crippling
I was at CHAZ
I was in portland
They lied to you about what happened
We’re prisoners and they're the warden
We stand in a row and wait to be assaulted
We know its coming, they'll find someone faulted
Tear gas us all instead of picking them out
Snipers in the buildings shooting salt in our eyes
They jam our signals before the gas
Trying to cover their own ass
Trying desperately to de escalate
i don't want thousands gassed tonight
It still haunts me that i couldn't while casualties amassed
Attack the young and old that get left behind
Beat and arrest any stragglers
Block EMTs from getting in
Destroy medic stations beat the injured
I watched them flash bang the infarmary
Our own government
And what am I to think
They have our backs and i should contribute
All in a smile and a wink
Meanwhile im left with ptsd and suicidal ideations
The system would rather see me die
They won't bother to keep me dry
It makes me sick
It makes me sick
It makes me sick
It makes me sick
I get sick watching protests now
My heart races and i'm thrown back in
Theres no answer to how
It just happened now i can't win
Must leave the country
Must find new wind
Im a terrorist they dont love me
I'll find somewhere that will
An embrace that lets me free
And gets the boot away from my throat
Must leave the country
Must find new wind
I want to die not live a hoax

Want to Waste Away
04:00
|
|||
losing color from the eye
Losing shelter no goodbye
White concrete
Black flames
Fight complete
Past shames
I saw the way they left this earth
I saw they way they left this earth
Destined to perish from birth
That's something we all unearth
Skim the fire when my curtain calls
Truly dire, Trapped between walls
I test the waters and choose not to be found
I test the waters and stay close to the ground
Id meet the same fate, but
My family keeps me in place
My friends hear me when i have something to say
My partner gets me through everything
Need something new
Shut down when i can't
Put down when i rant
Smaller than an ant
Want to waste away
Reaching round writhing rays
And grabbing the dark behind
Leave nothing they can find
I touch the ground and feel nothing
Being nowhere is truly crushing
I hurt myself and feel something
Fevered pitches constant humming
End the ring feel it coming
Just a thing Yet so numbing
You're the king so end the shunning
But they all laugh i'm not that cunning
I saw the way they left this earth
I saw the way they left this earth
Stay aware
No one has your best interest
Not even yourself
Drop the stare
I have no glare to arrest
No good deeds to attest
Grieve the future
The past is now
Tear the suture
Shoot the cow
Black ceiling
Touch the floor
It’s just a feeling
Down to my core
Pleading guilty
You won't Tell me more
Keeping busy
Because Life’s a chore

Leave
03:21
|
|||
Wear my heart on my sleeve
It means nothing if I always leave
Theres nothing i need
Take no time to breathe
Pain
In my chest
Stain
On your dress
Act like i'm innocent
Act like i don't lie
I need to finish this
To come forward and try
It burns enough to slit wrists
Im not willing to take risks
If it doesn't work, the fallout will come
The fallout will come
Wear my heart on my sleeve
It means nothing if I always leave
Theres nothing i need
Take no time to breathe

Obsessive Anxiety

I grin
I bleed
Dirty
Tired
No sleep
No feeling
I need
Skin
New seed
Grace of god
Embrace thee
Give a nod
Embrace thee
Guard my life with nothing
I’ll never see it coming
Don’t want to leave a mess
expect nothing less
Think about it everyday
Think about it every way
Mill the fields
Kill the crows
Rehearsing feelings
Growing old
Why can’t I do it already
I Confessed my crime
And now I shiver
Starting from the spine
My worth a sliver
It’s guilt I find
Building barriers
and Wrecking carriers
Eating sand
And Finding land
Drowning man
Off the shore
Reeling backwards
No plan like before
Peeling forward
Feeling no more
Fire next door
Come through the floor
Already burning alive
Never extinguished before

Lie
04:30
|

Danger
I know when you lie
Warning
I see it in your eye
Forming
The truth in your mind
Prying
Curving the line
Lacking common sense
Beat the ground til i bleed
Beat my fists against my knees
Feel misseed by the trees
Run
Stay
Run
Stay
Run from reality
I know the pain
Stay in bubbles and look with disdain
Run and wonder what they're saying
Stay and blunder a life worth saving
Disappear
You can't help me
Full of tears
Ill drain your eyes
Danger
I know when you lie
Warning
I see it in your eye
Forming
The truth in your mind
Prying
Curving the line
Lacking common sense
Beat the ground til i bleed
Beat my fists against my knees
Feel misseed by the trees

Feel the cold
They unfold
Broken hearts
What's the cost
Feeding shame
Feeding flames
Ghosts and lore
Take my form
Can't escape
Anything
Can't escape
Anything
I removed the asphalt to find concrete underneath. All the birds are dead. Clouds can’t form, they don’t hold together. The sun dimmed itself to be observed and not a soul witnessed. Colossal, mass failure (inspired). Insects refuse their hand in decay and our bodies lay preserved as sun bleached corpses rather than skeletons. Lord, I burden many. Found to finish foolishly under every circumstance. Fire is finding water in every ignition. Water is finding fire in every condition. Mountains form in minutes while homes are built in decades. My house is 12 years old. My house is made of obsidian and stained glass. You’d find concrete underneath it all though. We danced in the halls, we danced in the streets. Yesterday, God called upon us to help. Unbenounced to them, my skin is splitting and my blood depleted. Fear already became me. Foolish of anyone to ask anyone anything if you ask me. Thankless tasks are all we have left. Disagreement won’t be found from me. Killing is something best left to those who don’t matter. There’s a drought and they’re replacing water with glue. They say adhesive is needed to attach the soul. Mine is dismembered entirely but it’ll grow back. I’ve collected every tooth I’ve ever found and now I have a mouth. Sometimes I’ll question it all but there are no answers
Burning light
Outlive me
Not well liked
Now you see
Burst into
Ardent flames
I see through
my fake games
Can't escape
Anything
Can't escape
Anything
To be stepped on and to stick is my only contribution
To be stepped on and to stick is my only contribution
To be stepped on and to stick is my only contribution
To be stepped on and to stick is my only contribution
To be stepped on and to stick is my only contribution
To be stepped on and to stick is my only contribution
To be stepped on and to stick is my only contribution

I mention nothing but complaints
Im so sorry
Then I treat myself like a saint
Shave my head show the world my hate
Im not always able to escape
I need to keep my fucking mouth shut
Do well and uplift others
No ifs ands or buts
Keep my mind at peace and under cover
Sane in my head
Justify anything
Stand where im led
Stay where i sing
I mention nothing but complaints
Im so sorry
I wanna do better
Want to see the good
Tested my mettle
Ran away like i should
Too many faults
Not enough time
Shoo away thoughts
That trouble my mind
Flowers all around
I only see the dead grass
only mention the latter
Positivity comes last
Positivity comes last
II mention nothing but complaints
Im so sorry
Then I treat myself like a saint
Shave my head show the world my hate
Im not always able to escape
Im nothing
I drain
I tire
Like rain
On fire
