[Drown them]
The penniless are powerless when reps are bought and sold
Whose stances shift with currencies, in their search for hands to mold
and fill their lifeless form, and work their crooked jaws to say:
"Follow me!"
Human rights come at a price, the air we suck is monetized
Where bottom lines mean cuts to life with lower R.O.I
With stolen breath, their lungs inflate, words billow in a wheeze
they say: "Nourish Me!"
The everchanging tides you wade are sure to take you down
You grasp at hands but your thrashing limbs
have tied you into knots again
Another puppet drowned
Another puppet down
Another puppet drowned
Another puppet down
Fill me
Need me
Nourish me
Follow me

Snake Oil

|

|
Words left idle
Etched in stone
Memories burn
And turn to smoke
No time for comfort now
(We can't mask their screams)
Some sights can't be unseen
Your pity's lost without meaning
Just thoughts without voice
Letters on a screen
Prayers, thoughts and prayers
ESP, snake oil remedies
Prayers, thoughts and prayers
Eulogies, beg and plead sympathies
Easy fix from your knees
Bullets ripped from war machines
Pointless loss and suffering
Your fake empathy/another empty room
Mourning lit by castoff tributes
Clickbait fodder
Boy gone too soon
Wet eyes pleading to space
It could have been you
Keep your worthless thoughts to yourself
Save your fruitless prayers for the wishing well

Cattle Mob / Deja Vu
02:30
|
|||
|
Systematic dehumanization
Alien strain
Plague of a nation
White terrorist stack bloody red bricks
Singing driveling bestiaries of savage and king
Weak preys on weak
Fear plays on fear
No gods, only monsters here
Caged like beasts
Soiled claws
Gnashing teeth
Enraged, cattle mob
Plods along
Chewing fat as they preach
This bitter divide
This man-made abyss
Oppression thrives
Bloody, bitter divide
