Sun kissed for a living
Lips sucked from a lemon
The enamel’s worn off
The skin is pulled taught
Your version of youth
Just a grift that you bought
Land barons and villains
Wealth hoarders and billions
Unhoused are all plowed
The help disavowed
Now there’s nothing to sip
But the rosé in your veins
The glory of gold never fades
Fed on evictions and grapes
It’s a lavish life
Growing fruit from a grave
Tanned, shriveled and naked
Bathed in the blood of our labor
Human leather
With a void for a heart
Dried Out
Dehydrated flesh of the bourgeoisies

Trash the Human Race
02:01
|

Stack your shit to the sky
Pile the bodies on the fire
Dump the waste in the water
Pump the fumes through the air
Spray cancer on the crops
Only one way this stops
Won’t miss us when we’re gone
Won’t miss us when we’re gone
Trash the human race
Blood stream full of teflon
No way we have long
Won’t miss us when we’re gone
Won’t miss us when we’re gone

Ghost of a city shivers
While you escape the night
No food in the city limits
No place for life
Split the road keep the poor in it
Straight clean line
Run away first sign of trouble
Where your money keeps you safe
Hammer through the windshield
Queued up for the private pick up
Block the lanes
Dollar child beats the living struggle
Tear it away
Suck the city dry then run and hide
Eastside estate
When you drive down in your luxury car
You’ll have your duty paid
Hammer through the windshield

I think reality
Has cracked in two
Milk face motherfuckers
Kissing boots
I can’t face this
Future trash heap
Corn syrup babies
Corporate stew
Engagement photos
Conformist slime
No one wants to see
Your fucking smile
Engagement photos
You’re all the same
An imitation
The next in line
All the same

Black magic in the hands of politicians
Change our blood into gold for their ambitions
Alchemical terrorism
Lost free will all serve the nation
Control our minds with transmutation
Alchemical terrorism
Black magic in the hands of politicians
Change our blood into gold for their ambitions
Alchemical terrorism

The Stranger
01:58
|

We’re strangers in these silent moments
In the heart of night as the dogs howl
We shed our skins in the corner
The mist of our tears
Breaks the drought
We shiver with sweat pouring down
As the color drains from our brow
If we dared to gaze at the sky
The enormity will crush us all
All left alive
Living out a lie
Nowhere is safe
No place to hide
Each soul in place
Lives out a lie
Nowhere is safe
No place to hide

Psychedelic Ward

I’m sinking down
I’m checked out
I’m falling fast
I’m cracked up
Can’t look at your face
It’s sickening
This world fills me
With a dull pain
I need peace
I need quiet
I need a psych ward
I need help
I need restraint
I need a psych ward
I need a drug
I need a shot
I need a psych ward
Lock me
Away from you

Drill Into the Earth
01:53
|
|||
Pure concentration
Rare-earth insemination
Distilled in the oil fields
Deep down
Build the last station
Ultra-processed invasion
Running out of petrol
Tap the vein
Bleed every drop we’ve got
Drill into the Earth until it splits
You’re inconsequential
Tectonic intercontinental
Penny in the ocean
Never spent
Bleed every drop we’ve got
Drill into the Earth until it splits

Infinity Shit
02:14
|
|||
Don’t say the same thing
Circle talking
Driving deeper
Psyche drifting
Won’t learn one thing
Cornered living
Breathing ether
Crumbled buildings
Infinity
Won’t learn one thing
Cornered living
Breathing ether
Crumbled buildings
Don’t say the same thing
Circle talking
Driving deeper
Psyche drifting
Infinity
Shit
Our days are numbered
No more infinity shit
