Wipe away the mud
Scrub away the grime
That's not blood
See that shine
Wash away the crud
Flush away the grime
That's not blood
Smells like lime
Down on your knees
Blossom & gentle breeze
Remember to inhale
Atomic cocktail
Do as you're told
Fresh as air
Stranglehold

It's Headcleaner

Boring Machine

If there's reason for anything
Faltered, denied promises of progress
Expect nothing in return
Inaction grows the profits
Who's keeping score?
I don't think you're really listening
Sounding sincere & standing so still
Opposition is maintenance
Try harder dig deeper again
Haunted by self-serving desire
Your own self gain
Your own self worth
Your own self pity
Your own self fulfillment
The end justifies the means
What if there isn't an end?
All we have are the means
This boring machine
Reality splinters off
Fractioning on the lathe
Pacified unaware
Captivated by nuance
Subjecting yourself
Only to project yourself
A clever endeavor
bore a cheap thril
Dream about peace-
that's all you said?

As soon as they speak
When they learn their name
Controlling indulgence
Depraved cognitive reframe
To keep you in the dark
You never get to see their face
Medusa laugh
Just come a littler closer
Medusa laugh
What are you so afraid of?
Medusa laugh
Persecute. Ill-repute
Throwing stones in dispute
Persecute. Retribute
Turn to stone or execute
We're already fucking destitute
As soon as they speak
When they learn their name
Scorned by spiteful loathing eyes
Treated as an aberration despised
Remold the rhetoric & see

Taken by the legs
Divided at the bone
My mouth cracked & dry
I'd still swallow you up whole
Splintered on a wooden horse
Egotistical blaspheme
Your punishment for greed
Chevalet
Pressure on the wound sustain
Dirty tricks empty drains
Instinct bends the wrist
Bound to the board
Best not see this desire
Lust synced it's adsorbed
Softening the features
Of a swollen wooden horse
Tremble with euphoric glee
Turn away from the abusive me

You're already right
Where you are
but not where you want to...
Disillusionment's a product of uncertainty
A new personality
9.99
Comes in a bottle
9.99
Packaged pristine
9.99
Bloated bursting as the seams
Parasitic structure
Mutilated form to please
Adaptation realized servili(tease)
Youthful indecision
In a theater of guise
What's practical's not fashionable
Keep telling yourself lies
We live off each other
9.99 an hour

"I remember 2020 when I was a kid
Moving sidewalks
Robot maids
Jetpack flying kits
What happened to the future
Where's my flying saucer
Why are we all so poor"
I remember 2021 when I was kid
No more cops
Living wage
A world worth fighting to protect
What happened to the future
Where's our free healthcare
Why's there so much murder
Why are we so sick & fucking poor

Psycho babble surgery
My living hell your glory
Run from deceptive scum
Pack your things and run
Loosened average body
Memory is spotty
Hostaged Identity
Hostile domestically
"Why don't you just pack your things & leave?"
Disenfranchised human being
Confusion of needs
No sense of direction
Damaged affection
Milieu control
No sign of release
Insecurity's easy prey
Ridicule and repeat
Dayafterdayafterdayafter
What games we play
Survive
Evade
Resist
Escape

What's right?
Make an enemy of yourself
In solitary refinement
An evil produced by civilization
Fear is your gun smoke
ARTICHOKE
Reliable coward
Evasive and aimless
Unrelenting dog
Constraints & regression
Deforms the spontaneous
This life is unnatural
Short and brutish
Are you alone whole again?
Can't fight it
Catatonic
