Nothing makes my heart beat like violence. Eager for blood to fall into silence. Whoever is clever can hold off and take the upper hand. Take it and waste the opportunity. It was better when we agreed we were better than this. I am forever in debt. I am beyond your savior complex. I am consumed by heresy. I am beyond your saving.

Sine 02:47
If you don't like it then change reality you said. But then the streets filled up and now the narrative sounds so much different. Give me more credible than the face you've been wearing thin. Maybe it's you who should be locked up gunshot covered in blood from your kin. Maybe you really don't want anything better. It just feels better to talk from the sides of your mouth. I'll join you down here before you fuck off. I just need to burn myself back to where I wanted. I've got a mouth full of hornets as a warning. I will get the worst as a cost just to hurt you. If you don't like it then change reality you say from the sides of your mouth. You are a cancer.

When all we see are enemies then who do we think is trustworthy enough to deny who we are in the mirror? When only mercury drives my nervous system my intention is to melt until it's time to stop the bomb. Turn off your head now. I assume the worst in me and I assume the worst in you. All we see is war.
4.
Success is to be defined by the people you choose to disrespect. A shallow pool of talking points built on deliberate ignorance. Perpetual conflict against progress like a righteous warrior. A lack of exploitation makes you into quite a martyr. Hang your own head on this. Suffer your prejudice. If you ask for war and then you get war don't be surprised whose blood we're coming for.

We've all done some things to be ashamed of. It's not worth getting into every one of them. Just get better, do better, be better, want it. Are you as frustrated as I am? Do you feel any resentment? I have no love for myself or anybody else when things get heavy. We've all done some things to be ashamed of. It's not worth getting into every one of them. Just get better, do better, be better (get better, do better, be better, want it). It's not worth it. Sometimes I wish that I could give up. I could start from somewhere new. You can't change what surrounds you. When is it time to accept defeat? It's not worth it. Just be fucking better. It's not worth it. Just do better. It's not worth it. Just be fucking better. It's not worth it. Just get better. You're not fucking worth it.

Fuck, everything is falling apart and I have no one to blame but myself and everyone else around me. Today is not the day for anything. I just want to close my eyes and hear the world disintegrate into catastrophe. We don't get better. We just buckle for all the weight of our dependency. Looking around thinking it's so easy to use denial as a suicide plan. Like I don't care anymore unless I really put some thought into it. Everything is falling apart and I have no one to blame but myself and everyone around me. But I just want to hear the world disintegrate into catastrophe. I am just a monster wearing the face of another monster.
7.
You brought me here to find a wall of faces. Each depends on what we all built. I hope to find peace in something well constructed. Don't we all have fear of falling? Don't we all fear the fall. Can you hear the screaming, callous and unfeeling? From bones to earth all shattering. Calling out when will my time come? I guess I'll just burn out. Turn the hourglass. I'll just burn out.

What We Are 03:04
I need to stop with all this poison. It doesn't do me any favors. I recognize that all my anger is self destructive. There is no balance, it's one or the other. It doesn't help the disadvantaged. I need to know that this is worth the time. The things you do to yourself are not the things you do to me.I know the difference and that's the fucking end of it. Some things are rights and others are privileges. I hoped that you could see the difference, then you could be different. Don't try to making things better. Don't offer up your hand. Don't see outside the other. You can be the victim now. Don't think about the future. Don't see the suffering. Don't open up your heart. You are the true hero now. Fuck every single one of you. You've drawn violence from a pacifist. One without sympathy who won't feel regret. If hate turns into more hate then hate is how the world will change.
