Mirror
02:27
|
|||
|
Foundations of ignorance
Arrogance and hubris
Bitterly incendiary
Write your own obituary
Skewed perspectives congregate
Rinse, repeat, indoctrinate
The mirror’s grand deceit
Paradoxical reality
Reactionary defamation
Consuming misinformation
Become what you most despise
Obsess and over-analyze
Posing as the virtuous
Purge the filth of worldliness

Malocchio
02:28
|
|||
|
Voyeuristic schadenfreude
Perpetually annoyed
Curse your successes
Human abscesses (obsesses)
Venomous secretion
Permanent deletion
Violent adhesion
Hypnotic delusion
Uttered In seclusion
Shattering illusion
Thought manipulations
Lower expectations
Verbal abrasions
Force fed dogma
Indoctrinate trauma
Bearing the stigmata

Five Wounds

These wounds were masked but never healed
Pick and scratch at the scars until I can feel
The fear of abandonment feeds the paranoia
The threat of injustice creates a destroyer
How could you be so proud of yourself?
A selfish decision that benefits you and nobody else
From the true light you reap only the dark
Suffering brings vindication to a blackened heart
100 masks couldn’t hide the truth of the matter
Consciousness severed when the bullets start to scatter
Eyes doomed to blindness when the body expires
Light shines through the haze of smoke and fire

Serrata
03:30
|
|||
|
Mindless idol worship
Cursed with idle hands
Convenience dominating
Distraction on demand
Destitute of virtue
Purity of ignorance
Suspended by your sheepskin
Society’s willing supplicant
A deafening dissonance
Unbroken state of trance
The decaying interest
Submit to the snake dance
Light of death illuminates
1000 trumpets sound
Aspirations dissipate
Failure’s breeding ground

Carpetbaggers

|
We exploit your weaknesses
And profit cause we’re geniuses
Take as needed for your pain
Who cares if it rewires your brain?
We’ll find something wrong with you
Now you can be dependent too
You’re stock in our portfolio
Until the day that you implode
Capitalizing
On your shortcomings
A coerced tranquilizing
Now you feel nothing
Build wealth on your suffering
Your life is pointless, cash is king
The quick fix is for suckers
And ignorant, naïve motherfuckers
A pandemic stupor remains
Addiction binding you in chains
Brick by brick we seal your fate
Depression, loneliness, self-hate

Human Filth Menagerie
02:26
|
|||
|
Vultures picking at the skin
The pit that never pardons sin
Recollections all erased
By the liquid fire’s embrace
Sweet poison, quench the suffering
Masquerade for the lost and unhappy
Demons distract the agony
Vice grip on an untrue reality
Visions blurred by the tope
Emptiness and false hope
Human filth menagerie
Embody the debauchery
