The line is shoved through (us), we lost who we were.
Below the bottom, our worth begins to blur
Lick our wounds though they’ll never heal
Kiss the feet of our captors for which we kneel
We only accept the love we think we deserve
We bite the pain we believe that we have earned
Pardon the world and its laws
Despite its people and flaws
Anchored by shackles and ravaged by its claws
The line erodes, we pushed ourselves aside
We live the rot, we begin to eat the lie
We never thought we’d fall so far behind
Drag our knuckles in our own blood wasting time
Desperately dusting old bones
In a room full of corpses alone
This skin was meant to be
Outgrown. We can’t go on.

The Bolt Or The Blade
08:42
|
|

Every step is pain
Every slightest gesture is agony
Muscles rend and bones break
The sight of the bolt or the blade
The blood of suffering
As you cart off your dead pray the sky you’re not
inside
As souls drip from your lips-rejoice
Take turns holding the knife
Cycle of suffering
A tear in their eye
As they watch those before them hanging from the sky
Fell to the floor
Soul rot
Writhing in someone else’s blood
Violent execution
The greatest solitude
Your acquiescence screaming on the floor
Feel the ghosts
Smell the burnt flesh rising
Carve your code
We are not who we were
The sight of the bold of the blade
The watchful eye ignored
As you cart off your dead pray the sky you’re not
inside
As souls drip from your lips-rejoice
Take turns holding the knife

Boot Poisoning
07:26
|
|

A boot on your neck
A grin across your teeth
“That’s the way its always been”
Knuckles white and blistered
Spit blood and sweat
As hours turn to regret
A thin veil of freedom hides a scripted existence
Born free until feet touch concrete
Constructed conformity
Lick the heels of castigation
Suppression, a birthright to be
Gagged by a star strangled banner
Piss away autonomy
god lives in the law
and the law lives in us all
god lives in the law
and the law lives in us all
Inherent dominance procures the status quo
So deep beyond the bars
Underneath it live the wretches of consequence
Rattle the cages
(god lives in the law)
god lives in the walls of this broke down palace
Man and god decline
These walls exclude but these walls confine
