i’ve been grinding,
mesmerizing
falling behind in deference
spill my senses out
caught in pretenses now
defying every little lasting stare
you’re common
despite our differences we are all stuck in this, casually aligning with our kind
preset defenses already made up sold like sunglasses to the blind

Spellbound

|

|
you get caught up
can’t keep up
in platitudes we fondled
chaired, folding
paths worn dim
willed allegiances stick
winking
admiration's dethroned king
empire of ruination
appealing to amends
repair their gated castle
while conceding to be fair

that's what you get for being reckless
this cycle goes on never ending
you’re the one, always offending
my faith in you has been up ended
that's what you get for being reckless
should’ve known you’d bring the ending
i paid in full while you were taking
you stand before me making claims
can’t keep up with all the names
now you’re gonna damage me
that's what you get for being reckless
turned your head keep on defending
closed eyes witness nothing
you do what you got to do
but i won’t be there helping you get back up to standing
that's what you get for being reckless

this time we’ll see
reviled impeding
resolve all our needs
in breeding
speeding towards what?
the leash snaps slack
we got broken necks
from always looking back
spin spin spin
snares snapped tight
rulers inherit
we beg and stare
dealing while buried
wisdom we know
re-framed by the screen
forever responding
from within the machine
spin spin spin

Not For Profit
00:32
|
|||
|
pay me for this garbage
pay us for our hardships
paint us a pretty picture
tame us with collections
tell us what we’ve wanted
we’ve almost forgotten
what it means to be alive
not for profit
pay up

Paid In Full
00:58

|
blood spilled
lives spent
resent regret
we’ve met,
we’ve already met did u forget
with intent intended
intentions amended
we pretend like we comprehend
to act like we’re content
we’re meant
to live
we’re meant to live with intent

Living The Dream
01:01
|
|||
|
invading impoverish
dragging our feet through their mines
already established
demonstrate your control in full sight
appearing benevolent
back to the wall, we’re ready to fight
take back whats ours
our lives
trained us to obey
indoctrinating right from the start
peddle your sick lies
poison our bodies, subdue our hears
sell us these fake lives
run your rat race until we expire
dream on indifferent
blue collar visions/ white collar mirage

Consumer

you will be replaced
standing in one place
shackled into their empire
living off credit
always indebted
sold in their system
you believe
can’t win zero sum
replayed uneven
live beyond your means
paying with everything
consumer consume all
ignorance in lust
you need better stuff
fashion up to date
products well place
compete with yourself
never be enough
collect some more shit
your sold
trickle down bullshit
divided classes
look down on you peers
but we’re all under them
