Scorched

Atoms of growth left from a/the previous life
Head emerging from the dirt, reaching for the sun
Fertilize stifle the population of mankind
Cares not for that which he destroys
The jungle of capsiacin revolting
Survival of the fittest
Man cannot remove and remain safe
Fire rains down explosive
Excoriate conflagrate dermis scorched
By the brush of the bush
The tryst of the flower
Decadent luminescent
Giant meteor of fruit hailing down
Excoriate conflagrate dermis scorched
I'm only smiling on the surface
Smiling on the surface
Follow me through the light
Never felt this panic before
It haunts me now
Tastes like disappointments
It swallows these shallow feelings
Voices of confusion that live inside my skull
I sit alone and weep for humanity
No motivation left after chewing myself out/up
There is much of a rind on me
I want to do something to make a difference
Living in this subtitle optioned reality
Two broken wings of the same dead bird
The black snake rises, insidious
I sit alone and weep for humanity
No motivation left after chewing myself out
Never again

Nature Knows No Kings

Through death, the separation of sheep and goat
The pure and chosen few
Hateful theory, hateful practice
Totalitarian poisonous infection
Overwhelm the world with death
Religious final solution
The end times nearing
Humanity dissolving
Ascension, beyond the towers
Ivory and the reduction of flesh
Ebony and the redacting of bone
( absorption )
Inhuman humane depredation
( absorption )
Human inhumane depredation
The culling and the calling
Depredation derails intent
The culling and the calling
Absorption is triumph versus
Depredation and death
The separation of sheep and goat
The pure and chosen few
Pride corrosive against the true condition of the heart
Sin corrosive against the true condition of the heart
She is bleeding the heads of man, once adorned in horn
are now removed
Transparent and timeless, the culling and the calling

Dismembered, removed from sights,
Killed like animals in our homeland, pray for us, you hear our cry
Hacked to death, for the color of our skin, black magic sacrifice
The cost of living, to be hunted, thought of as subhuman
For lack of pigmentation, innocent people are killed
By the enemy invisible, lurking constant, with a thirst
For butchery, ignorance and wants of wealth
This fear, this loathing, is every day
Albinos hunted, limbs stripped away
Isolated, during daylight kept away
Locked inside, for they become prey
|

For decades, war, before was a better life
Barely able to subsist and in constant fear of rape
Working just for debt, just to die, just a child
This is what we/they die for, dead discarded left underground
Ripe for exploitation
For western goods; jewelry, electronics, make up
This is life in the Congo, this is death in the cobalt mines
You will never consume our souls
Your home sits on a concrete foundation
Made from the dust of our bones
Dine on our young, drink essence from our skulls
But not in your life will you consume our souls
Slavery is their way of life
In the Democratic Republic of Congo the mines are toxic
gold diamonds copper cobalt tin zinc coltan rubber
it destroys the babies inside them with easy deniability for international corporations
Artisanal mines collapse upon four year olds
I guess it's okay that you gotta break a few African eggs to make a Westerner's omelette
In a land where children are gang raped by militia men in front of their mother and father
And drug away to cobalt mines and forced into child labor
They'll burn down your home and they won't think twice
They'll cut off your arms and spit in your eyes
They'll sell your soul for a mobile device
They'll steal your children and rape your wife
Day after day for years with no end in sight

I already knew, I was down deep inside a grasp of depression
At first it was a fleeting thought here and there
Nothing to worry about and then came a day
Where morning wasn't yet over and I thought it twice
Following that I thought, I need to get it together, put myself back together
It was good for a while and then it came again and again and again and again
Multiple times in day, days in a row, days in a row, days in a row
And then came a day out of the blue, where I was going out of town
And home felt weird to me, to be at home without the pup
I was headed away for the weekend and the thought crossed my mind
That I did not want to die
This was a profound moment because for days, weeks, months
Leading up to that moment I had been talking myself out of ending it all.
Today started out well.

Whispering Snakes
03:39

This snake beyond my shoulder
Resting near both ears
Whispering desirous and deviant of the flesh
This temptation will be the death of me (could have been)

Mutilation Rights
09:20
|

This mutilation rite
A lack of questioning and answering
A culture of bacteriums continues to thrive
The way of all in the Herd and
Therefore right and final
Sever the flesh and infinite nerve
Mutilation rite, waste disposed
Now you're just like us and we look the same
That's important
Don't ask any questions
This is the way of all in the herd and
Therefore right and final
Sever the flesh
Sanguine libation, felated victim
Cannot speak, cannot resist, cannot ask any questions
Now they're just the same, the same as us, just like us and
We look the same now, that's important and that is right and
That is final, the way of all in the herd

Have a Look For Yourself
03:16
|
|||
Your wanting meaningless
Breathing in, breathing out and
Giving way to the expansive knowing
The glass of the infinites and
Have a look for yourself
Visited and borrowed and have a look for yourself
A moment here, right now
This moment here, right now
Parallels
Swimming forms are not alone
Alive inflamed becomes the flames
All parallel
No sex, and no time, and no forms all parallel
Without a face, and just the voice
“All is as it should be”
Have a look for yourself
Through the glass, floating form
Soak it in, “all is as it should be”
Everything is right, all parallels
Shock of falling back
Face to face, now flesh again
Trembling, rank of sex
Where have you been? And what have you seen?
Through the glass, a look for yourself
All is as it should be, have a look for yourself

This Lonesome linger
My familiar friend
Has to come to visit me again
This chilling reminder of what was
What could have been
And what will not come to be
Left me here by myself
Alone with me and me
Life lingered still with womb's breathe
Lonesome rest on an ancient path
Steady wretch, the still heart beats on
When summer comes to warm my skin
I'll still have never held you
I'll still have never met you
I'll have never heard your voice
I'll know every word of your every song
I will always love you
As winter returns
This lonesome linger
Staying still and steadfast
Strained souls hope and ovum bed
Earthen life births an infant song
Bloodline lost, a single star shines on
That December day
To always infamy remain
Even when summer comes to warm my skin
I'll still have never held you
I'll still have never met you
I'll have never heard your voice
I will always love you, always love you
As winter returns
This lonesome linger
Staying still and steadfast
Lord, please tell me what is left for me
This is taking me but leaving my sights
Lord, tell me what's next for me
This has, this has taken me and left my sights
