Dark Futures in Fluorescent Lights - DOUBLE EP

by Festering Wounds

supported by
Lute FP
Lute FP thumbnail
Lute FP The vocal delivery reminds me of Suicidal Tendencies “Institutionalized”, with the casual and off-handed delivery of the angst-ridden lyrics. The music is alternative/post-punk/something-wave, which serve to deliver the anger and frustration of the vocals on a steaming platter. This is unusual, and excellent.

The second half of the album is yet to be released, and I’m very curious to see where the rest of this goes.

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”

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 04:22
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

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

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

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
