Pretty Men 03:05
Your filthy hands bear no fruit. Out of your mind, the ground takes all. Swing of an axe, beheaded you fall. No one is immune. -------------- There’s no pretty men (x4) ------------- Behind the mask a rotted face, Poison the river, bleach the sky, Subdue nature, it’s laws we defy, Broken mirror of the human race. -------------- There’s no pretty men (x4) --------------- Take a good look (x3) At what we did to ourselves. Take a good look (x3) At what we did to the world. Take a good look (x3) At what we did to ourselves. Take a good look (x3) At what we did to the world.

Hard Shapes 01:58
Skin beat thin from flailing limbs The silt, the phlegm, the sticky film Rocks are hard, the light grows dim. The blood’s on the paper, read it again. -------------- You said you liked hard shapes. It gets you off and it’s getting late. I got my scrupples, you got sour grapes. Hate is hate. Hard is the shape. ------------- The antidote is vapor, carried by a warm breeze But everyone is clamoring for the disease. -------------- Make a date with the apple in your eye Be surprised when it shrivels and dies. Arsenic core, pry your jaw for the prize Hard lies, insult or empathize? ------------- The antidote is vapor, carried by a warm breeze But everyone is clamoring for the disease. The antidote is vapor carried by a warm breeze But everyone is clamoring for the disease.
3.
That fear that keeps you right in place Pedaling a bike with no chain They know how to crush you They know how to grind you down. ------------ The show continues It’s entertainment, not progression. It’s fear and regression There’s no hope, or compassion. ------------- But they will sell ice to eskimoes, Convince them they need it Stab their back and repeat it Once defeated Ask for more ‘cause you believe it. -------------- Served up right on a plate This years love is next years hate Distraction is on debate. Stop being bait. -------------- Cut the hand that feeds Squeeze it where it bleeds No tourniquet, fuck establishment American dreams.

Ishkabibble 01:06
I don’t worry Because everything is alright Why worry? The end is in sight. I don’t worry The tax man collects his sum No worries The devil bears a son. ---------------------- I don’t worry They’re knocking at my door. Don’t worry If the sky falls there’s always more. ---------------------- I don’t worry Colluding powers of the many headed snake. No worries We’re broken yet they still take. Don’t worry. Why worry? -------------------- We’re not worried. Can’t be worried. I’m too busy with nothing at stake.

Seed to root, both entwined My roots they bind. We're all excess matter, smatterings of flotsam Thrown into the ether. Fear the reaper yet sow the seed. We must weed it out. Remove the undesirable, Quest for the insatiable Divining the illogical. ------------ Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust It's a vicious race to the end. ------------- Man creates waste, defined in sin as haste And thrown resolutely into outer space. A speck in a grain of sand, Pretending we're the center of the universe. It all adds up to nothing, The human curse. The human curse. The human curse.
7.
Salt in every open wound Shit out all that you consume ------------- Mass die off engage ------------- A fire dwells where darkness looms It grows stronger as hatred blooms ------------ Mass die off engage ------------ Create false enemies Corrupt all leaders ------------ Mass die off engage ------------ Connect the dots You’re not smart, you’re anesthetized. Feed it garbage. The landfill is full.
8.
In plain sight for all to see, Lies so thin, the guise of legitimacy. Truth eulogized in vacant memory, History repeats, euthanize fascist ideology. ------------- We allow it because it's massaged right in. We don't remember because truth did not win. ------------- Events unfold, lives are bought and sold And our name is a killing word. We kill the world for a little profit, If compassion is a virtue than we have lost it. ------------ Don't allow it, cut their tongue to silence it. Always remember- power to those who remain vigilant.

XOXOUXO 02:55
Your choices for right do not Sway the hand of control Two limbs grow from the hand chopped off The virus spreads in ways we don’t see. --------------- We support their evil Whether we want to or not The hand that feeds is the one that beats me Fiercely, across my face. ------------ Pitiless, guiltless, men without shame Morally bankrupt puppet masters Pitiless, guiltless, men without shame Morally bankrupt puppet masters. ------------- We support their evil. We support their evil, etc.

I’m at a loss Come across what’s lost And wonder why it’s not front and center. Hyperbole and sensationalism Common sense cannibalism And see a flood of fake news enter. -------------- You’re putty now In their hands You’re bloody now, In their hands --------------- Feed the beast Let it off it’s leash And watch as we become each other’s tormentor They want more yelling Over useless banter It’s not dialogue over anything that matters The headline’s a mess. The punch line a waste The deadline missed A writer in haste. The story read: Everything will kill you. Distract yourself and continue. Whose line? Going blind. We’ve been mislead this entire time. ------------ You’re putty now, In their hands. You’re bloody now, In their hands. ------------- Those stories don’t exist It’s just another list. Real things happen to real people All’s not fair, and all’s not equal. They want blood and they want chaos Everyone’s yelling to be 24- hour famous.

What a travesty Your office tragedy I’m not selling your shit I’m not buying your ideas ------------ I’m not selling my time. Wrapped up in the nickel and dime. Lives get cheaper by the dozen for you. --------------- Straight off the shelf, suit and tie. Pre-packaged life, you’ve already died. ------------- Gotta make it on your own. We all die alone Your ugly heart turned to stone Carve that flesh to the bone. ----------- I’m not selling my time. Wrapped up in the nickel and dime. Gotta make it on your own. We all die alone.
16.
A thought as clear as a cloudless day “Sink into the earth and go away” The blackest night and the widest of eyes Covers pulled tight over muffled cries. --------------- The poisoned mind That screams out Te poisoned mind That calls to the knife. --------------- My value, questions go round in circles To nothing we all return, universal. Neglected soul, where’s it go What have I done, depression in tow, ------------- The poisoned mind That calls out The poisoned mind Says there’s an easy way out ------------ Distraction The life of the mind Shut off Wait around to die Nowhere to go An empty cage to roam

Matt Says Yo 00:14
18.
Jesus doesn’t seem to be listening So I’ll ignore all the voices in my head Shouting out for the heavens to hear Jesus isn’t listening Ignore the voices in my head. ------------- No one came running. Cops are out to lunch. “The end is nigh”, said no one in particular. No one came running Cops are out to lunch “The end is nigh” said no one is particular. ----------------- You’re all laughing on the inside and crying on the outside. Parade of humanity has the coldest punch line in history.
19.
Spit Take 01:06
To ride a wave of indifference Measure of one’s own relevance Fight against the tide of ignorance It’s a battle each day to refrain from negligence. ---------- Suppose that with age we grow smarter We can’t remember how ideals grew blurry It’s a constant struggle. ------------ It’s a spit take. To look at myself. ------------- With age please grow stronger But I’m feeling weaker Working harder to keep up with how I was.
20.
Ugly People 01:47
We're no better, fuck this future. You're face down in shit forever. Ugly lies, ugly people. Our true face is shown. They don't even pretend to care anymore. ------------- Yeah the president sucks And all those jackboot followers are total fucks Nazi thugs joined in a gang. Pence and Bannon, they all can hang. ------------- Lockdown on you and me Lockdown on P.O.C. Lockdown on all the queers Lockdown on justified fear Lockdown on undesirables Lockdown on intellectuals Lockdown on the forests and seas They want us silent and on our knees. --------------- This sentiment a document of the here and now, Ugly people scowling over the beautiful resisting masses.
